ALGS Year 4 Split 2 Pro League Regional Finals EMEA Ankündigung
00:05:07
00:05:07 To the ALGS, but I got a little more emphasis on those letters today because today is our regional finals, which means 12 teams will book their tickets to Mannheim, Germany across the pond to fight for a million dollars and the elusive exclusive glory to call themselves a champion who will take it. And that's right. I didn't say get it.
00:05:32 Weil das ist etwas, was in Apex Legends gemacht wurde und wir haben die Teams bereit sind. Es hat 9 Wochen zu erreichen, und jetzt haben wir unsere Antworten nach heute. Es ist spannend und ich hoffe, dass ihr alle bereit seid, um ein Sunday Nachmittag mit Pro Apex Apex Aktion zu machen.
00:05:53 Let's get it started. My name is Rain Day. I'll be your host alongside some amazing talent today. And of course, I got to introduce them because you might have seen them in the earlier show. But let's go ahead and bring them up again. Tiff, welcome back. It's North America. This time, the stories are plenty. And we've got 12 spots that these teams are vying for. Well, let's go ahead and find some more teams to send to Mannheim, Germany. Look, EMEA was crazy. And after that entire series, I can only imagine.
00:06:21 Was ist passiert in Nord-Amerika? Gehen wir kurz und kurz? Gehen Team Falcons? Oder gehen wir die Distance? Wir haben neige Spiel in EMEA. Es war so nah, um das 10. Und natürlich, eine meiner guten Freundin war da mit uns. Vicky Kitty, wir sind hier in Nord-Amerika. Will es gehen so lange? Will wir haben die gleichen Geschichten? Will es das Cinderella-Moment, das wir nicht in EMEA bekommen haben, aber Nord-Amerika könnte uns mit surpriseen?
00:06:47 Hey, listen, I'm here to join you guys and go the entire distance. It will end in eight games, nine games. No, give us more impact. Let it end after 10 plus more. North America, the stacked region that we know it, is here. And I cannot wait to welcome the teams. They'll be meeting us in Germany. And Genome, if we bring him on more North American broadcast, it's going to be like Not Moist and Dark Zero coming over. He's got to be North American at this point. But let's give it up to our Apex South.
00:07:13 Ja, mit 12 Spots up for grabs, Nordamerika hat es besser als auch andere Region, wenn es um das. Es wird so viele Teams virent für die Finale Spots, die wir jetzt sehen können. Und es ist ein Minimum.
00:07:40 Ich glaube, ich denke, ich sehe in Nordamerika nicht mehr als das.
00:08:07 We know the expectations are high for the number one team so far in terms of rankings in the world in the ALGS in North America. We'll see them in just a moment. And speaking of that, let's jump in to who will be participating alongside Falcons as well in this major soiree of teams and talent here as we continue to see. TSM, Oblivion, Liquid Alienware, LG, NRG, teams who have just jumped in as well. Bored, Bleed Esports already qualified. When you look at these participants, Tiff.
00:08:37 There's just so many different teams. You might say this could be the most talented region in terms of individual players in the entire world. Yeah, we are obviously very blessed over here in North America with some stacked teams. And granted, we get 12 slots to send them to Germany. And when you look at this, I mean, not only do the teams that you mentioned kind of stand out, but also Elevate Gaming, right? Coming into this in 15th place, 53 points. Maybe they can jump up the leaderboard. Also, got to give shouts out. I just love the name Fluffy Amor. Me too.
00:09:05 Yeah, and they made it in. I mean, it was a good day, nine, to get in here. And obviously, being part of this, Luffy Amers are going to be joining that top 20. And if you're in the top 20, anyone can do it. And in fact, maybe that's the biggest conversation here, Vicky. Just the fact that we see six teams qualified short. But because we've got 12 slots, there's a lot more wiggle room for those bottom eight teams who are outside of qualification to make a run to 12 and ultimately find something today that could put them into Germany, even though they're sitting out of it right now.
00:09:35 Yeah, leave us some for the rest of us. Just trying to pick up any crumbs that are left on the ground out here. I'm looking at you Team Falcons. But with these top 11 teams plus the regional final winner, with 12 total spots, this leaves six spots available for a very stacked region to claim and punch their ticket into Mannheim, Germany. I mean, think about it.
00:09:52 Es war so schwierig. Ich glaube, wir sahen, es war Gaming Gladiators, die 0 Punkte haben, und das ist warum sie getrennt wurden. Aber CyberCats, sie hatten zu gewinnen, weil sie mussten 25 Punkte haben, um den Bottom zu gewinnen. Hier sind Tempur, sie sind nur 16 Punkte entfernt von der Qualifikation Zone, das wäre 4th place.
00:10:11 The same thing happened with Gaming Gladiators, and you see that 12th place team. Well, Temper might, with a fourth or above, be able to get it. That's a different scenario, and Gino, why don't you break this down for us as well? Some hypotheticals, some most likelies, but these are just some overall expectations of what these teams need to do to secure a ticket to Manheim. Yeah, as you guys were mentioning, a couple of teams here 100% locked in will be there at LAN no matter what. That's up to about...
00:10:35 8th spot from there on, maybe even 9th. Complexity, very, very unlikely that they would get knocked out. NotMoist, who were looking a little bit shaky, come out with a win last week and actually skyrocketed their chances up. They can lock themselves in with a 5th place today. That's those numbers you can see on the right. And as you go further down, it becomes less and less likely. So NRG right on the bubble at the moment. And Oblivion, you know, they...
00:11:04 From there on downwards, the only way that they can be certain that they get through to land is with a first. There was actually a really good graphic. We're not showing it to you now, but basically, if you take a look at it, that's what they really need to do to guarantee it 100%. But if you want to go 75%, maybe you lean down to you could get a fifth place, but you're not guaranteed. That's what that graphic should help inform you basically when and you're in. That's the benefit of match point.
00:11:30 Now Imperial Hau leading out with Falcons as the kill leader overall. We saw Effect take home the kill lead win in EMEA. Unlucky with over 30 kills on the day. Just jumped in second. Will Sweet be able to have a performance like that? Is teammate Zero possibly bringing it in as well? Tiff Verholz, another name. Somebody Big E's been playing like a CEO. Raid Boss here. Maybe he can jump the gun as well. Have a great day to lead TSM. But as we come back out.
00:11:59 Yeah, they really are. And I spent maybe like...
00:12:28 Das war's für heute, VOD, nicht nur der Matchday 1, sondern auch der Matchday 8. So, wir werden uns sehen, dass nicht nur Matchday 7, sondern Matchday 8. Und Dinge seit dem Matchday 7 sind, haben sich sehr interessant gemacht, insbesondere seit dem Mid-Season patch. Und Dinge, was man sieht, sind diese Breakdowns auf Rotation. Und es ist wirklich schwer, und oft ähnlich zu was mit Danisch, in der EMEA-Region. Und es ist nicht wirklich nur ein Spieler, in particular, dass man caught out.
00:12:57 It's like, like right there. Knocked. Like that is so unfortunate. And you know, I know Rain Day, you spoke to Hot Stick and they were just saying there's a lot of minor mistakes that were occurring. It overall wasn't a bad, bad day per se. Just an unlucky one. Now, I looked at some of the damage percentage in regards to an entire team. 17.87% of damage percent of the team.
00:13:20 Das ist sehr schwierig. Nicht nur die change in legend composition throughout our entire Lobby, aber auch wenn wir die Reptar auf den Seer schauen, um die Rotation zu machen, es ist schwierig.
00:13:45 Ja, ich bin ehrlich gesagt, 20th, 20th, nicht fantastisch für ein Team dieser Kaliber. NRG ist auch, als ein Org, viele Tournamenten aus der Internationale, die das Team ausgesucht haben. Aber wir müssen es zu den ALGS, weil es sehr wichtig ist, was das bedeutet. So, es ist das Wichtigste jetzt, und mit dem hier kommt mehr Pressure. Wie soll man die Pressure?
00:14:13 Well, in my opinion, there's been moments where Nock and Fun and iterations of Psych, now iterations of Reptar, have not handled pressure well. And we talked to Hodzik, and he was talking about, like, this is really not about the skill. It's not about the strategy. I can help them with strategy. But where I'm lost is if we know what we're doing, and we just take our eyes off the ball for a second.
00:14:35 Metaphorically speaking, we forget. We don't pay attention. We lose somebody on an easy rotation. We forget to smoke. All of those little things that can have a bigger mental impact. Because it's not, we didn't come in with the right game plan. It's not, we can't do this. We don't have the talent. It's, you know what? We just didn't play the way we know we can. How do you fix that? Well, you just got to show up and be ready to go the next time you get an opportunity, which hopefully is today.
00:14:59 Yeah, and you look at their matchday number eight, it's 16th place, albeit a bit better, but just not the execution that I am expecting from a roster of that caliber. Now that you see kind of Knock playing alongside that Fuse instead of Bangalore, we're still kind of waiting for, okay, look, I'm waiting for a fun FPS Pathfinder. I know you locked it in in one game of Stormpoint, but I need it back. And I know, Vicky, you've got your eyes on someone else, so I gotta let you have it. Yeah, a team that may have a little bit more leeway to talk.
00:15:29 Das war's.
00:15:58 wie die P.O.I. Drafts, die Evil Harvesters mit den E.V.L.S.H.I.E.L.D. Changes, die andere Perkungen sind. Und SWEET hat gesagt, dass mit den P.O.I. Drafts, die E.V.I.D. auf ihre Decision-Making testet, und wie sie wollen diese P.O.I.D. haben. Und ich liebe das thought-prozess, die kleinen Macros und Micro-Plays, die L.G. wirklich haben zu machen, die L.G. wirklich haben zu machen. Und jetzt, alle hier sehen, ihre Differenzierungen, die Differenzierungen sind, die Differenzierungen sind.
00:16:27 mit der Seer und der Bangalore. Ich fühle mich die Mid-Season-Patch hat wirklich beeinflusst dieses Squad ein viel. Und mit dem Fakt haben, dass sie viel Platz haben, um sie zu flexibel sind, dass sie 93 points haben, die Wicke Spacestation hat. Es wird interessant sein, was sie heute machen, in einer Lobby als Stacked als dieses. Es wird absolut sein, Rain Day, zu sehen, ob Suik kann tatsächlich die Momentum von diesem Squad, in terms der Mentale.
00:16:54 Ich denke, das ist etwas das Sweet für. Das ist was wir erwarten von Sweet. Diese Hals-Sweet-Jokes, das letzte Jahr, war nicht ein Joke. Sie sind zwei der besten IGLs und Brains für den Spiel. Und in dieser Situation, Sweet ist ein bisschen mehr. Der Problem sie haben uns zu lösen, ist, was ihre Punkte sind auf Stormpoint? Weil 62% der Punkte sind von World's Edge. Wenn sie das auch ein bisschen machen können, Vicky, ich denke, sie werden...
00:17:21 A lot more of a threat and obviously a lot more consistent as they head into Matchday here, our Regional Finals, Matchday 10.
00:17:29 The disparity is also just crazy. Even looking at Falcons and their success on Stormpoint, it really does highlight which of these teams played to their strengths, even with the introduction of the POI drafts and the ramp of, as you can see right here, from 20th and then going down to the last half of these different Pro League dates with LG finding this first place finish not once, but twice. You want to be able to find that consistency.
00:17:52 And of course, I think this is a team many will have their eyes on, kind of waiting for the day that LG takes the league by storm. Well, we'll see if we have to keep waiting for the world to change. A little John Mayer shout out there as we head over to Genome. You know, stylish, maybe in a different way. We've got some great players, positively famous names, seeing if they can put it together now with a new roster. Yeah, following in the footsteps of Falcon.
00:18:18 Moist moved over to the North American region. That was a big change for them, but they've also made another big change recently. MT, the longtime IGL and playing partner of Waltzy, moves on partway through this split, and they bring in its Timmy. Now, this is interesting because, you know, none of the players on that team had, I think, really taken that full IGL role over before, but if you listen to their comms, it's interesting that both
00:18:46 Pricey and Waltzy, who played under MT for such a long time, essentially learned so well from him that they were now able to go on and become IGLs in their own right. And I think that really says a lot about his style and how much they were able to take away from that. It's finally starting to come together, it looks like, for NotMoist, with a match win in their last day. You know, Waltzy taking over that...
00:19:14 Das neue Rolle und Timmy auch co-IGLing und helfen ihn mit ihm aus. Ich meine, du kannst sie sehen, Waltz ist schon leidend von der Front. Ich meine, nicht nur ist er neu zu IGLing, in einer der hardeststen Zeit zu IGL in dieser gesamten Ecosystem, aber er ist auch die größte Dämme von jemandem auf dem Team. Der Mann ist einfach dominiert, und ich denke, dass er genau die richtige Zeit ist.
00:19:37 We're in the MVP as well as we look at Not Moy's performance, just edging out one point, I believe, in terms of getting the win. And ultimately, that was huge in qualifying and securing their spot here for a chance not in regional finals only, but in the fact that they could qualify and maybe just with points make it to Mannheim. That's the impact that we're looking for, especially when we single out players. What did your individual performance do for your team? Certainly.
00:20:01 Three of the best individual performers there on NotMoist and Guildersons. And of course, it's Timmy joining Waltzy. Fantastic stuff. Great breakdown. Three really good teams that could win it all. But we're not the only talent that exists as a part of this ALGS Pro League. We've had 10 days so far of all the mixes and matches of our great crew here at the ALGS. So we want to let you know what they're thinking on who might take the dub.
00:20:28 My prediction for who will win Regional Finals for NA, I feel like might be a little bit obvious, but for me...
00:20:34 Team Falcons.
00:20:58 ...who are going to be crowned your regional champions. Specifically because of the way we've seen them bounce back from bad days. They've had days where they haven't done anything in the first three matches, and then in the last three have a better series than some of our teams do in six matches. For the finals, we're starting it off on Stormpoint. Team Falcons averages 15 points per game on that map. When it goes over the world's edge, of course, they have been suffering a little bit, but with first pick, they were able to secure themselves to Skyhook West. With Matchpoint coming into the equation, having arguably the best POI in the game.
00:21:28 Ich denke, es wird ein Unterschied machen, und ich hoffe, es kommt. Das sollte sich ein Team entwickeln, um ihre Dynastie zu starten in Nordamerika zu starten. Granted, sie sind ein bisschen weaker, wenn es zu Worlds-Edge geht, aber overall, sie sind noch besser als über eine halbe der Rösteren wir sehen. Und ich denke, sie haben sich von einem Pack separiert, das ist historisch eine der meisten competitiven. Ich denke, Falcons nehmen es. Ich denke, sie sind nicht nur die Favoriten hier. Ich denke, sie sind wahrscheinlich die Favoriten in den Split-Two-Playoffs in Deutschland. So, best of luck to everyone.
00:21:57 Ich bin kind of nervösisch zu sagen, das wirklich. Aber ich habe keinen Hade für Predicting Sweet in der Vergangenheit. Ich habe auch keinen Hade für nicht Predicting Sweet in der Vergangenheit. Und ich kann nicht so weit weg. Ich bin mit Sweet wieder. Ich bin mit Luminosity für den Nord-American Regional Finals.
00:22:18 I mean, Dia, are you crazy? What are you? I'm just kidding. He said he got hate for it either way. I was going to give him a little shade. All jokes aside, you know, it's awesome to make a prediction. We all know it as talent. Sometimes you feel like the smartest person in the world, and sometimes your Twitter mentions are...
00:22:33 Untertitelung des ZDF für funk, 2017
00:23:00 Das macht es fühlen, wie es yours ist. Die ALGS ist so flexibel. So viele Teams, so viele Spieler und so viele verschiedene Stylen für die Team Compositions. Warum nicht so flexibel, wenn du es? Throw up that Map B, throw up the Team you're interested in und see how they perform in the most important day.
00:23:18 Und natürlich.
00:23:40 Falcons, the Super Team. They've risked it all. They've destroyed what many thought were Dynasties and Dark Zero and TSM. And it's all for this type of moment, Match Point, to win. Nothing else will be satisfying for them. So we'll see if they can get the job done. Let's head over because Game 1 is about to begin. And for it, we've got Vicky and Geno.
Spielbeginn und Teamstrategien in den Regional Finals
00:24:00
00:24:00 Thank you so much, Rain Day. Genome, the stakes have been highlighted. Falcons, will they take the dub here in the Regional Finals? You heard the comms when they finished in sixth place in the last matchday, and they were not happy. They literally could just go negative points, and they will still finish in today's region in first place. That's to put into perspective how insane of a team Team Falcons actually is. Is that part of the rules? Is there something they can do that would give them negative points?
00:24:30 I'd love to know. I'd love to know. No, you're right. And this is something about why they're so good because they keep pushing themselves, right? Like anything apart from first, it feels like a loss from them and they will just punish themselves if they don't meet that bar.
00:24:46 Yeah, and there's a different type of ruling that we have for our regional finals. For those of you guys who are new to match point format, so that way you know we do swap maps after every two games. The first team to hit 50 points will then be qualified into match points. But after they reach those 50 points in the next game, separating them from the game that they got 50 points and then so on, they have to win a game to be crowned the winners of our regional finals within North America.
00:25:16 So right now, it's about getting the dub on top of the kill-heavy games that you can find yourself in. And of course, since we are starting off on Stormpoint, we know what to expect from a heavy-ended Squashino.
00:25:29 Ja, für jemanden, wenn wir das hier erzählen, für die EMEA, die Draft verändert hat, Vicky. Die Draft hat sich verändert, von der Regular Season zu der Regional Finale. Das ist ein Seeded Draft. Das heißt, wenn du in Pro League kamst, die Falcons kamst, du bekommst 1. Und du bekommst 21. Als opposed zu der Snake Draft, die wir durch die Draft sahen. Wenn du bekommst 1 bekommst, du bekommst 40. Das war ein bisschen mehr even. Das ist, dass du bekommst 1.
00:25:58 A good job so far.
00:26:01 And it's nice to highlight, with that being a change here for some of our teams in picking their POI preference, some teams may feel more inclined to pick a POI that they have advantage on, on a map that they may not do so hot. That's why, with Falcons being in that number one pick for World's Edge, they've opted to go to SkyWest, where they find more of their success on StormPoint. So why try to prioritize that here as we take a look at our second page of where our squads are going to be landing? TSM, landing over by Wall.
00:26:30 We've been having a pretty big diversity of Circle Pools in EMEA, hoping to see the same case here going into North America. Yeah, nothing, you know, incredibly surprising here, though we have had a couple of surprise contests coming out in EMEA. Will we see that again here, Vicky? You know, teams like Aurora going at people in Launchpad from Devastated Coast.
00:26:56 Definitely some plays that can be made with this POI Giraffe System that we haven't seen just yet.
00:27:04 Ich kann nicht warten. Wir sind hier für unsere Regionale Finale mit Nordamerika. Wir beginnen mit Stormpoint zu starten mit uns. Wir sehen uns erst einmal an Moist, über die Sinotha Cave, und nicht Moist, mit Timmy zu der Seite, über die Spider Cave. Wir werden ein bisschen mehr von der Evo-Schild auf den Evo-Schild bekommen, aber auch die extra Loot die Spiders provide.
00:27:27 Man, I love that little cool shot of the spiders coming out of the eggs as well. Man, our observers have been killing it today. Big shout out to Warhawk, by the way. His birthday today has been absolutely destroying it for both ALGS here on the main channel and over at Longshot being an observer for us. So look, awesome that he is back and giving us these amazing shots that we've seen all the way through the EMEA finals. And I'm sure we'll deliver again here in NA. No early action.
00:27:56 Just yet. You can see TSM actually looking up, firing a couple of shots. I think that maybe that was at Fluffy Amers who were peering down the hill there from Zeus Station. But this ring does look reminiscent of one of the ones we had in our previous Matchpoint Finals and potentially heading somewhere towards Launchpad.
00:28:16 Oh, all right, a little slight different, right? I was hoping I didn't jinx it out here. Okay, we didn't completely jinx it here as Flat landing over by Pylon, already looking to see where they want to go. Evac Tower for Evac Tower, looking at C9 and Flat on top of it. But you can also expect a POI like Jurassic to get heated very quick with the teams who are looking to get a rotate in and to also prioritize any beacon information, whether it be the ring console or the survey beacon, as we now tune into complexity. Set no one hand, talk about some good...
00:28:45 Already off the rip on their quick rotate.
00:28:48 Yeah, Complexity sitting in that main building here within Launchpad. This is a solid little spot. A couple other teams already around. Pioneers are here. SSG quickly rotating in as well. Weave, however, playing a little further down towards the Devastated Coast Bridge, where we did see the very final game of our European region.
00:29:16 Gaining a little sense of deja vu here, Genome, as we see more teams making their appearance. Oh, hello. That is not the surprise you want. Nano just jumping right on top of KCP. He manages to get away as Flatt is already looking to coexist on the low ground of Launchpad. But talk about some quick rotates from a lot of our squads. It wasn't just Complexity moving in from Stormcatcher. We see KCP, Flatt, Weave, Space Station, and LG in the distance on the Circle Port.
00:29:43 Yeah, as you mentioned, quite a few already within there. The teams who are playing for the long game or playing for the late rotate, as it were, Fluffy Aimers, Elevate, not Moist, sitting all the way over in Barrow, and Liquid Alienware also nearby to them. But Flight is setting up down here. They don't have Watson. They've got Catalyst. I would say that Watson is a far superior controller-class character if you are occupying that.
00:30:12 But look, Catalyst does give you some options if we get a weird pull and they need to make a shift over to a different part of the map.
00:30:40 That was sitting overall in the bottom end of the overall standings originally before going into today, making it into our regional final lobby. They had 45 points on top of NGNL to make it here. And Team Falcons are on their tail as they rotate here through Jurassic. It was what was to be expected as how it does get pinged by Sentinel in the distance.
00:30:59 Yeah, it makes perfect sense that Falcons would find themselves here. I mean, if you're looking for a POI that has both a Survey Beacon and a Ring Console just outside where the Zone is pulling, that's where you should expect to see a team like Falcons, right? Because they're going to wait for this Round 1 Ring to close, and then they are going to pop as many of those objectives as they can to try and give them direction.
00:31:23 in the game to try and give them uh you know a sneak peek into the future where everyone is where they should be going next and you need those objectives those consoles and survey beacons to be able to do that
00:31:35 Und das ist mit dem aus Checkpoint-North, wo es eine Ring-Console war und Survey-Beacon war. So mit der Quickness, sie haben bereits gegründet. Oh, das ist ein Trident. Sie bekommen den Crack. Sie bekommen den Fall-Up. Sie bekommen den Weg. Die Smoknage von der Bangalore und die Opposition ist able, zu schiefen Reset. Ich glaube, das Board ist auf der anderen Seite. Ja, es ist. Und look at sie in den Distanz. Team Falcon ist bereits aus für Blut.
00:31:58 Hey, ah, there was so much damage done to them. Oh my god, they even managed to grab it down there with the Arkstar. Not sure if that was on the Trident itself. If so, very good spot there by Hal.
00:32:12 He was able to catch him before he was actually trying to rotate back away. They were trying to re-stabilize out of the trident and then saw Team Falcons completely aping them and then they inked themselves and put down the catwall just to get away and out of their line of sight. Bored literally running for their lives and while Falcons chase them down, I believe there is a beacon right here that they could work off of. They even already have that next circle pool information. So just trying to deny that from other teams that want to play by the edge of the circle.
00:32:43 So Boar does get away. And Team Falcon, you know, look, they lost access to those objectives we were talking about down in Jurassic. But there is a Survey Beacon over here in the mid-map area. So now with them being able to take down one of those members, that clears it out a little bit for them. And should be able to get that info soon. TSM, of course, with their leader having been unceremoniously stolen from them at the start of the split.
00:33:12 Have very much been trying to make a new identity for themselves with the addition of Zapto. They sit very much on the edge of that next ring. Now, this is a decent spot here. Not within Launchpad itself where the ring seems to be headed. But if it does pull back a little bit, maybe to one of the fingers, you know, that spot they're in, actually pretty solid.
00:33:37 Ja, he's holding the edge right here, right? It can be a little scary sometimes if you aren't by the rocks to get you out of the line of sight of the teams that would be coming in from the north, like Yup and Oblivion, especially if you go in for an early rotate like this, but you'll get out of a lot of the action that is going to be inevitable if this continuously pulls towards those fingers like you mentioned, Genome, then you know it's going to be a bloodbath for the squads that have to funnel outside that building that they're coexisting over by Launchpad.
00:34:06 Ja, weil es so viele Teams gibt, es wird sehr schwer für jemanden zu kommen, um, zu kommen, um, in diesem Bereich zu kommen. Eine kleine, um, um, zu Level 3 Armour für Yanya und Niesl. Da ist TL, das Temper, auf der Souten Seite von ihnen. Sie nicht wirklich wissen, was zu tun, weil sie bei Moist sind, sie sind geholfen aus von Pylon, um, Moist, sie sind geholfen in Jurassic, um, bei Liquid. Das ist ein schwerer Spot.
00:34:34 für Tempot zu spielen und das nächste Ring.
00:35:00 Lacking a little bit on ammo, and while they do try to take this isolated fight, they're not really worried about a team coming into third party. And Evac Tower was called in earlier to combine with the Fuse Motherload. Look at the vision that they have. I mean, if the Motherload wasn't enough, Genome, I mean, the Exhibit from the Seer definitely is.
00:35:17 Yeah, look, I really hope Hull picked up that Ultime Accelerant on the ground. I mean, I wouldn't be the first person to, like, lose my mind over him, like, you know, not picking up some ammo or something. We see Pings there. Either way, it's been interesting to watch them work out who needs to be on what Legend coming into this very different Legend meta that we've seen recently, Vicky. You know, they've been trialing.
00:35:42 Everyone on lots of different things. It's been hard because, like, Jen has such a great Legend pool. How? Not so much. And Zero is just so good on Bang, but it seems like he often wants to try out some of the more aggro characters, gets involved with, like, you know, gets involved on the Fuse, but they have gone back to what's worked in the past, which is Zero, definitely one of the best Bangalores in the world, making so much sense for this team.
00:36:10 Oh no. Oh no.
00:36:40 Oh no, and Furia, they may be looking to come up the zip from below here and be a part of this fight as well. We see Liquid, they go down to Moist. That was way over in Jurassic, but Falcons for the moment look to be resetting.
00:37:03 Fluffy Amers. Opposite of Fluffy. Something you don't want to deal with. The fact that Team Falcons was able to get that res. They're looking to reset. Nobody is trying to overextend. Furia wanted to see what was happening here. What they were missing out on. But they also don't want to give up that low ground building. That will lead into Launchpad. While Fluffy Amers are holding this entire north side of the circle. Elevate have managed to stay alive. Although as a solo. They still were able to stay alive for now.
00:37:31 Yeah, I mean, Falcons have got the reset here. This is bad news for everyone else, I'm not gonna lie. Furia made a good decision to stay down the bottom. The ring is pulling to the back of Launchpad. That means that is a primo spot to have. But at some point, they probably will have to deal with Falcons jumping on their head.
00:37:47 Spacestation 2, taking chunks out of this team over by the south side of this zone. It's gonna be Weave who are meeting them, but they're neither of these squads in that circle. You can see that circle pool on your top left screen in the next 30 seconds. Phony looking here, trying to help them out. Sees that he's incredibly low over to the left side, while Koi takes a different ult angle. This is an isolated fight, so they're not worried here for the third party. A little bit worried about the mother load ahead of them here, just trying to spray bullets.
00:38:16 The hope that someone picks them at the wrong time. Xinyu and Koiful have been such a devastating one-two punch for SSG this season. Absolutely one of the scariest combos in ALGS right now. It really is. And individually too, as players are a very scary duo here to really work with. And now they've cleared that south side of the map, knowing that they're going to be approaching...
00:38:40 Launchpad, isolated, passing that Evil Harvester, while more squads out in the distance. I'm looking at Moise currently taking the Evac Tower, seeing where they may find some space, because right in front of them, it's Oblivion, so this is a great move. But where do you land when TSM was holding that choke that we saw originally by the water? Yeah, I wondered if maybe they'd go for the tunnel, but they actually find this building right on the edge here and contribute to Native going down.
00:39:08 Und ich denke, das ist zwei aus der drei, am besten für die Leute. Oblivion sitzt in der building, neben dem Moist.
00:39:21 Look at this. The Catwall. The Seer ult. A team in the distance looking to get involved. It's gonna be board. Elevate still alive as a solo, as you saw on the outskirts. Not moist here. Looking on both angles. And with the Catwall, you know that they were able to take advantage on trying to rotate on the other side of this building. It is Oblivion looking to try to follow up within this fight.
00:39:41 Ja, ich glaube, das letzte Mal das Sia war in der Meta, man kann die Füße durch die Catwall, durch die Dark Veil, aber man kann nicht mehr. So sie müssen warten für das zu gehen, bevor sie die Informationen bekommen haben. Sie sind in dieser Geburt, und Tia-Seber also looking für das. Sie kommen in. Surely Moist kann das auch repeln. Und der Exhibit hier, auch, wie sie wissen, wo jeder ist. Wir sind auf der anderen Seite für Holste. Wow!
00:40:09 Das war so ein crazy clip unter Verhulst. Of all people, not a player that overextends too often for him to go down that early in the fight. You know they're hitting their shots.
00:40:26 Ja, Timmy hat aber nur die Klockdown-Shields zu spielen. Er kann auch alle drei von TSM machen.
00:40:54 Sie haben 15 Sekunden, um es zu nutzen, um es zu nutzen, um es zu nutzen, um es zu nutzen, um es zu nutzen, um es zu hören, um es zu hören, um es zu hören, um es zu hören, um es zu hören, um es zu hören, um es zu hören, um es zu hören, um es zu hören, um es zu hören, um es zu hören, um es zu hören, um es zu hören
00:41:14 We can go to the right they're going through it. They're going through a left tunnel boys. We can run on this right dock here We need to play for the corner here. We need to play for corner here, right? Team left tunnel Evan look for left tunnel, please from fucking beach We're getting shot from height
00:41:38 We need to go up top. Super safe. Are we safe in the corner? We're not really safe here. No, no, no, I'm safe. We need to go over. We need to go over in a second. Come to me, come to me. I got Syracuse. The rocket can kill us here. Yeah, we can't do anything. All me, safe. Yep. I'm dead. I'm dead. Someone knocked him. Someone knocked him. Oh my god.
00:42:02 The split in communication. You can hear the desperation as they're trying to find corners to avoid the bombardment of nades as KCP, within their advantage of their own POI in Northpad, have hype over them on the catwalk. The NRG now has swooped in Reptar, the last one alive, and it's just a matter of time before he meets TSM back in the lobby. But KCP, do they want to overextend on this? Because right behind them, waiting for them, is another team only leaving Jett alive.
00:42:32 Oh my lordy. What is the siren song of this corner?
00:42:46 Because so many teams have just piled in there and then immediately lost their lives. I mean, TSM go down, NRG lose their lives trying to take them. And then KCP, you saw how close they were as well. Board just nipping around the corner to take a look at all the madness. And we should note, Fluffy Amers, they're sitting down the bottom here, but to the north of them, Vicky, Team Balkans. They took that building away from Furia.
00:43:15 Coexisted for a little bit of time with them there, but now they have full dominion over what is essentially Godspot coming into this final circle.
00:43:26 And away from a lot of that chaos, too. And the safety of that building uncontested is a crazy statement to make for this first game of our regional finals. Space Station, they heard the Reds going off, now looking to get in position, but they still have Blue Evos here at this point. They've lost out on Phony. You get the Evo Shield swap, but with only two less alive for Space Station, KCP meet their demise. They're also going down here back to the lobby.
00:43:50 SSG in Round 5. Blue Armour, not two things you want to hear, together and sign you can't make it out. They will drop down as I think it was the seventh squad there. And everyone else probably just gonna try and barrel into a tiny little corner in the edge of the building that we'll still be in in the end of this next zone. Meanwhile FluffyAim is still sitting over there.
Spannungen und Strategien im späteren Spielverlauf
00:44:17
00:44:17 In the donut area, and Team Falcons have so much of the map to themselves in the building. We haven't even had to look at them yet, because they're just so far away from everyone else. You can see all the way to the left of your screen.
00:44:31 The beautiful painting that the Watson fences are also highlighting for us too. While there is three squads inside of this launch pad building. Fluffy Amers on the outskirts and they're looking at Falcons who are actually overextending. Complexity being on the high ground. C9 sharing that space right below them. But Falcons are out for blood. They do not want to overextend. I like the call just to back away. Maybe just trying to bait out any last minute ults before this final circle closes in the next 20 seconds.
00:44:59 Finally getting a look at the Falcon's position as they've got everything going their way. The positioning, the armors, turbos all lit up here and the knuckle clusters are coming in to make everyone else's life. Hell, Imperial Howl hits them. He's burning them with the thermite nades and they've only got a dark fail to save themselves.
00:45:24 Darkveil kommt, und du bereits wissen, Falcons ist zurückgegangen. Darkveil für Darkveil, auf dem Boden. Komplexity ist schießt, auf C9. Noe zu gehen, als sie wieder zurückkommen sind. Fortschritte, und Team Falcons sind nicht in der Fray. Es ist Falcons Komplexity, Bleed, und Fluffy Amor, auf die Seite des Falcons. Als wir in den Kill-Leading Graphik before, Monsoon ist gerade auf da. Das ist schon mal auf der Teile so far, dieses Jahr.
00:45:52 But can he stand against the might of the Falcons while Bleed and Fluffy Amers go at it over in the donut? Let's be able to say Fluffy Amers. Can't be scared about that one, but you can absolutely be scared if they're going to wrap up behind you. If you're Bleed in this case, Falcons going to be able to sandwich them on the other side. Drop for drop though, they get two nuts. Falcons are dominating 12 total kills for this team right now just to open up this first game of our match point finals.
00:46:20 was an insane first game they had that rough moment in the mid game but everything from then on just looks so smooth oh this is crazy but they lose out on jen we get eliminated and fluffy aimers at the perfect time they come in for the third party they're focused on bleed look how low they were it was really only press that is up alive and healthy and they take care of team falcons for game one to take the dub
00:46:46 Only a couple of kills there for Fluffy Amos. You can see four, I think it was, for them. And, I mean, yeah, I think even though Falcons might have come second there, I think they're probably going to walk away with the lion's share of the points, Vicky, just because they never let a kill go begging, do they? I mean, they are always just as aggro as they need to be.
00:47:12 Every time. Every time they just want to maximize their points and they have come out of the gates just roaring here. And there's a different approach when it comes to regional finals and a match point day, right? Because although, sure, Fluffy Amor's got the dub, it's 12 extra points on top of the 4KP that we saw them get. But on the other hand, when you're Team Falcons and you're getting what?
00:47:32 14-15 kills for that first game. It's not about getting the dub that's the most important in this point of the day. It's about getting to match point first and then proceeding to get the dub, which we know that Team Falcons has no issue when it comes to racking up KP. Yeah, and they've got no issue when it comes to winning match point series either, do they? I mean, just ice in the veins.
00:47:55 I'd love to see the stats at some point, but you know Zero potentially I would say has some of the most matchpoint series wins across LAN and regional finals out of anyone in the ALGS.
00:48:06 Look at this, 15 KP, double digit KP to make a statement for your opening game. Fluffy Amor still take the dub, but they don't get as many points as you can see with Falcons getting that second place finish and the KP that they needed. But even looking all the way down, highlighting teams like Complexity who also were able to get 5 KP, KCP in a bit of a rut with their 6 KP when that was their POI before they dropped down. They took a bit of damage here to win that fight, but then it was really when the circle shifted north of...
00:48:35 Ich bin, Fluffy Ames, die waren da oben, wenn all das was mit Falcons ging, aber sie kamen und gewinnen. LG picken ein paar Punkte, TSM und Moist mit den Mid-Game-Battles will picken ein paar Punkte, und sie sind glücklich mit 4 und 5.
00:49:05 We also saw earlier on in that game, FluffyAimers trying to fight for that Evil Harvester closer to Wall by TSM. So immediately after that, they just went for a quick rotate. But I'm looking at teams like Liquid Alien, where a team that we know needs to find their stride of momentum to keep that consistency. Unfortunately, being the second team to go down in this lobby, but finishing off with 3 KP. We'll take a look at the comparison of stats for our two squads here at the very end. FluffyAimers playing a lot more patiently with the Watson versus Team Falcons, who are just out for blood.
00:49:34 15 Kp so that way they can start bridging that gap of overall points between themselves and the rest of this lobby. I'm sorry, what? 7,000 damage in the first game?
00:49:50 I don't know, Vicky. That's just... That is abominable. I mean, like, people coming out being like, oh man, they had like a shaky week or two there coming into regional finals. Are you guys kidding yourselves? Like, have you not seen every time that there is something on the line, these guys turn up?
00:50:09 It's actually crazy. It is so crazy to see this right now. 7.1k damage. But honestly, hashtag getfluffy, getting a word that that's going to be their official hashtag out here for fluffy aimers. But that is the way to play when you're trying to play for final circle positioning and you're rocking the Watson composition nonetheless. Great start here for Team Falcons. Fluffy aimers getting that dub on top of it on Stormpoint. I'm getting fluffy.
00:50:34 Das ist die perfekte Deskription von FluffyAimers. Wir sehen uns mehr von der Aktion.
00:52:20 Official PC and Monitor Partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.
00:52:29 Welcome back, y'all, to the Apex Legends Global Series. This time, it's the North America Regional Finals. And Genome, I'm stealing you away from this one. You guys coined that hashtag, get fluffy, and I kind of love it. I kind of love it. Yeah, look, I get a lot of plushies in the back there somewhere. Maybe I'll get them out later. But I am definitely up for getting fluffy.
Analyse des ersten Spiels und Ausblick auf die kommenden Matches
00:52:54
00:52:54 und bring up some of those match highlights while you work on that, right? I'll wait for you to grab your plushies. But as you kind of look back to this endgame situation here, Falcons have isolated themselves out onto the western side. And the moment they took that building from Furia, I was like, oh my God, okay, I think Falcons are going to win this. And they start to get really mixy here, right? That's where fluffy aimers kind of sandwiches bleed. And then I'm like, okay, maybe it doesn't actually happen, you know.
00:53:19 Ja, es war ein schweres Spiel zu spielen, aber ich glaube, wenn man die K.P. die Falcons hat, dass sie nicht unbedingt für die Win-Malte spielen haben. Sie waren zu maximise points, ob das K.P. oder Placement. Und ich denke, das ist eine sehr smarte Strategie, weil die Falcons sind bekannt für die meisten von Storm-Point.
00:53:41 70% plus of the points that they accumulate throughout an entire series are attributed to Storm Points. So if you're going to be kicking things off with a large majority of that 50-point threshold already being maintained, and Fluffy Amor is having a magnificent start to that, picking up the win and playing it to perfection, but getting, you know, a decent accumulation of points, now I just look for Team Falcons to do the same thing in match number two. Yeah, and, you know, they've done it typically from POIs that are...
00:54:09 Ja, ehrlich gesagt.
00:54:28 I don't think anyone's won a single map on Stormpoint from Checkpoint. You talk about Devastated Coast. That's got an 11% win rate. Three number wins. But maybe you're looking at this and you're like, I think I could beat the Falcons. I think I want to take a chance at Fluffy Amers. Okay, well, maybe try your hand at Challenger Circuit first. We have Challenger Circuit number three. That weekend's going to be July 20th through 22nd. And it has that.
00:54:50 Registration close date of July 17th. I talked about it earlier on Amiga, and I was like, Genome and I, we're going to make a team. And then I realized he's kind of down south over there in APAC, and that probably wouldn't be too good on the ping or even allowed. So it's not going to happen, I guess. Hey, hey, Jen Burton was farming North America, you know, ranking up in Pred when he was still living in Australia. I can do it too.
00:55:14 Okay, yeah, because Genome and Jen Burton, very close. So we both start with G? Maybe not quite the same, but you know, if you can shoot like Jen Burton, I'll draft you on my team, 100%. Yeah, I don't know if I'm flat at that level yet. Yet!
00:55:30 There's hope. There is hope. And there's so hope for a lot of our teams that are on the fringe. This team in particular that won match number one. They just made it into the regional finals coming in in 18th place. One of our teams that are in that must win scenario. And that is one of the things that I get so excited about when it comes to match point. Is that it doesn't matter how many points you come into the day with. So long as you're the last one standing.
00:55:55 After you meet that win condition threshold, which honestly, if you're kicking things off with 16 points and map number one, this is a solid start for them. And from Zeus Station, you're going to have a lot of good loot. I mean, I genuinely thought we were going to have it in our first series today. I mean, Aurora and Cybercats were both looking so good. I thought we were going to get one of those Cinderella stories because as we keep mentioning, it's just, it's so rare to see a team outside of the qualification bubble.
00:56:24 actually pick up a match point series in the lobbies that are the hardest that you will get all pro league long okay well you pop the circle here and you immediately see checkpoint is involved in this now this is going to be one of the most fickle zones genome and i want to sit here for just a second because yes checkpoint that ring console so they're going to see this zone here but what's going to be really interesting is does this one commit to the gravity cannon that's on the outskirts
00:56:53 von Cito Station. Do you know how sometimes we get that big pullback to Cito since the large amount of playable space of that POI is included?
00:57:01 Yeah, yeah, definitely a couple of options when we're looking at the Cito Station area in terms of where that ring can pull and what makes for a good place to play from. There's, yeah, as you say, you know, Gravity Cannon, the little buildings across the bridge, this one that we're seeing right here that LG are looking at. They want to take it away from their opponents because you just get so much...
00:57:28 You know, like the lanes of fire are so good from this area that you really get to look in on all of those other teams that are bunkering together and can be quite tough to play from the smaller buildings within Cedo Station. Yeah, it's gonna be quite interesting. We've already seen multiple teams kind of come this way, Luminosity being one of them, and they're actually going to pop that Dark Veil to...
00:57:52 Launcher's still doing their fucking spiders.
Strategische Entscheidungen und Team-Dynamiken im frühen Spiel
00:58:23
00:58:23 Also, just fucking kill Weaver, if you want. I'm gonna go grab that pack, too. Can you just start looking at Stop Westman again? Yeah. I'm gonna hit scan real quick. I'm just fucking done, though. They could grab it. Multiple teams, Cedar. Team Team Step Barometer. Team Launch. Grab the pack.
00:58:50 I'll grab it and then they have Nemi fucking vault. We can look he rat the fuck out of the weave and just kill them and then hide it. They should probably get to hide, they're probably just gonna zip to hide. Also make up burial. Cause they don't have beacon, another hit beacon there. We can go burial outside.
00:59:19 Es ist hella shit, Brometer-Signal. Es gibt zwei Jucers in Brometer, bro. Was? KCB ist auch zu kommen von hinter uns. Get up hier. Ich bin hier, die ganze Gespräche zu hören. Das ist ziemlich generisch. Wir sind einfach locker.
00:59:40 We're like just being so strategic. Two here, one there. I got a gold Nemi. Let's go Rat Weave. And I'm, you know what? I'm down for it. Looks like Weave have got some problems of their own at the moment. However, Tiff, they're about to run into Liquid Alienware. Or maybe Liquid Alienware are running into them. You can see Yanya on the floor already. He's hit the deck. And Niesel and Jaguar is...
01:00:07 I don't know, hitting the gritty, is that? No, that's like a celebratory thing, right? I don't know. Sure, I actually don't know how to hit the gritty. And if you can, like, that's amazing. I love that for you. But I don't think SSG is actually going to be ratting Weave. So when you did listen into their comms, they called out two teams in Barometer. Liquid Alienware and Not Moist were those teams in Barrow. However, Liquid looks for a rap towards Weave.
01:00:32 Und es geht, wie du es, zwei von ihnen dropped. Jetzt sind wir jetzt auf eine Rez. Und ich glaube, nur eine von ihnen. Sie haben eine voll Reset, aber ich glaube, eine hat eine voll Reset. Aber ich glaube, eine hat eine voll Reset. Jetzt sehen Sie Neazul und Jaguarra ist da. So, sie werden sie suchen für die Potenzial Banner und dann vielleicht eine Reset. However, nicht Moist. Off das Rotation aus Barrow. Wir sind auf die Räume, wo das Ring Consul ist. So, sie werden sie machen.
01:00:56 Yeah, I mean, they did their hard work last week, right? As you can see, pressure is off moist today. They don't need a huge day. They can't have a gaming gladiators type day, though. If they pull up with a 20th, they may not make it. But here they're going to go in up against the duo of Bored and Elevate Gaming are on the other side as well. Bored potentially even going into the ring because they just want to...
01:01:23 Get as far away from the other teams as they possibly can. Moist kind of doing the same, actually. Not willing to keep going up and trying their luck against Elevate Gaming, which surprises me a little bit.
01:01:37 It is kind of interesting, but as it continuously pulls, it's going to be one of those things that you really want to play for that Ring 3. Or if you're Weave, you just want to play for Liquid Alienware. You want to finish exactly what you started, but if we're already throwing out the Motherload, we've got to use a zipline to kind of retreat away. And you start finding yourself in these open engagements across the water, realizing that the majority of players, not only do they have the Nemesis, it's a Hemlock, something that's going to excel in that mid-range.
01:02:07 Okay, well, it looks like Liquid had to burn quite a few ultimates to get them to back off, so...
01:02:34 Um, certainly a savvy use of those, but, you know, it's a couple of minutes now where they are extremely vulnerable as a duo with reduced utility. They don't want to run into the back of SSG, who are over there in, uh, Jurassic ahead of them. But moving to where most of the action's gonna be happening here in our Game 2, we've got Falcons, uh, boarded up in... I-I wanna call them, like, the TIE Fighters.
01:03:02 I've only just seen this now, but the windows they have are actually very similar to a TIE Fighter, TIE Bomber kind of setup. Yeah. Can we run with that? I believe you. I trust you. I 100% believe in everything that you're saying. It's factually correct, even though I have no idea what you're talking about. Have you known what Star Wars?
Strategische Positionierung und Teamkämpfe in Cito
01:03:22
01:03:22 Oh, wait, yeah, but I guess I don't, I'm not that. Okay, okay. Clearly it was so memorable. All I know is Darth Vader. Someone's getting mad right now. Anyway. I'm sure we won't let them get too mad because I watch a lot of anime. Anyways, this next pool, this is why you play for Ring 3 because you can continuously see here, maybe it's not going to pull to that Grav Cannon, but when you have Cito as a whole in that endgame, think of all the chaos that we're about to witness towards that endgame. Cloud 9, they're in that main Cito building and elevate.
01:03:51 is still trying to wrap through that initial rotate that we saw Luminosity in earlier, right? They were trying to lay siege to Oblivion, but they backed up, made it into Cito, and now Elevate, well, you gotta deal with not only not Moist, but Weave, who's finally made their approach in from the south. Yeah, the mirroring from Moist, Elevate got the better side of it being inside the ring, but they weren't counting on Weave being a tag team against them. So, all of a sudden...
01:04:19 They do get the one knock back. Well, actually, no, I say that. It's Guild who grabs that. But with the team sort of locked in a little bit of a Mexican standoff here, will they be able to actually pull the trigger and finish anyone, one of these squads off? I don't know. At least they do get another knock now. Moist looks like they might be the team that walks away with the most KP out of this engagement.
01:04:44 Ich meine, ich habe Timmy hier auf dem Snipe und er hat die Brüser auf dem Sentinel, das ist eine meiner Lieblings-Komm-Rows für den Midranger. Wraps-up L-O-T-R und sendet ihn.
01:04:55 They're down south of Checkpoint in one of those buildings and they're going to have to decide.
01:05:24 Oh, what? He gets sniped from C9, by the way, is in the main building of Seto Station. That's where that 30-30 shot just came from.
01:05:41 Gott, Sauce würde wirklich anders sein können, ich glaube. Ich bin ehrlich, das ist ein Team, das ist ein Team, und sie sind nicht auf Qualifizierung, richtig? Sie kamen in 11th Platz, 64 Punkte. NRG ist natürlich auf der 12th Platz. Und ich weiß für ein Fakt, dass Saucer und sie sind nicht glücklich sind, wenn sie zurückkommen zu landen und expandieren. Guild, Timmy, müssen wir das zusammen spielen.
01:06:06 Oh, maybe it was DC. Yes, we see that. Yeah, maybe just got caught out in the open at the wrong time. That's so, so rough for Moist. They're in a great spot. I mean, this hill is actually in for the next zone, but...
01:06:21 Look, Elevate was still as a duo, so, I mean, Guild and Tibby can potentially push this. They do still have to worry about Weave down the hill, but maybe they're just trying to, you know, make the most of this and grab some points while they still can. Yeah, that is tough. Let's be the first team to leave on out, but not moist. Still.
01:06:42 Okay, this fight has just been brewing for the longest time.
01:07:11 Let's see how it finally ends here. Obviously, we see Elevate get finished off, but Moist, as a duo, seem to still be holding out Weave as a trio. This is some... I mean, they get some balls on them pushing this and really keeping them at bay, pressuring them this much as just the two-man.
01:07:36 Look, sometimes you just gotta show presence. You gotta Peacock it out and just take that 2v3. Elsewhere we got TSM starting to invest a lot of nades. There goes the rolling thunder. And this is going to allow us to swing. Take that Prodigy Aces knock. Dupes down. Yup, eliminated. They've fallen. So is Fluffy Aimers, by the way. Your match one winners are down in...
01:07:56 Okay, Blade pushing up to look at this as well. As you mentioned, lots of Seer alts in and around here. Often that's a bit of a stop, a pause, a wait button, as other teams will wait for that to go down. But you kind of can't when the ring is at your back and pushing you in. So TSM, move forward.
01:08:22 And there we go, Liquid Alienware, a casualty of this, and Fury and Bleed just trying to wait it out on the outskirts. Alright, let's get you back in there. Reps not moist finally, Fall and Fury to join them as well. Bocek in hand for Reps, which makes 100%.
01:08:40 And so now let's see if we can hit that connect. But no one's going to peek around that. So you might as well smoke it out. And under the guise of that, maybe look to hit a slide. But the comms come back and tell them to retreat. Somehow we've got to get into that main area of Seto. And where that circle starts to center up on is going to be a building that NRG controls. But TSM is going to be able to rotate straight in.
01:09:05 But you have to deal with Bleed first. Yeah, NRG coming in from Cascades. They had priority to Seto. And as you say, it's the big building. Well, not the one with the zipline. The one just to TSM's left here. That's where NRG is sitting. And that's where the zone is pulling. So being on the north side here, if they can clean out the other teams, which it looks like they are, has the Knuckle Clusters through critical damage here. You can see Bleed bleeding out.
01:09:34 Very well done by TSM. That was just a full knuckle cluster, to be fair. That was the entire breakdown of that roster. The building that NRG is holding is really tough to hold on to because you think of the big doors that you can easily open it up. And now the majority of the time you'll see like a Watson team kind of go in there and fence it up, maybe throw a Jenny to try and help because next thing you know, you're going to have teams that are going to be approaching from both sides and you'll likely get sandwiched out.
01:10:02 GG's to NRG for trying to hold that one down. Elsewhere, we'll look at Cloud9, where you had Saucer kind of picking up with the 30-30. Looks like Naughty is also going to be locking it in, and we've got Oblivion in our sights, which was not actually Oblivion, because they moved into the bottom of Cito, and now we've mirrored them.
01:10:19 And the rest of these teams just sitting in their small buildings here. Not many of them, maybe the tiny little bit for Pioneers, will be in the next circle. See if they're going to have to make a move at some point. Falcons, they've got one of the longest rotations to go, honestly. They need to get towards that building where NRG are, remember.
01:10:41 Und nicht gerade jetzt, aber am Ende dieser Zone ist, dass es dann alles umgekehrt werden, um diese Teams auf der anderen Seite zu kommen.
Spannungsgeladene Konfrontationen und strategische Wendungen
01:11:01
01:11:01 Die Fans werden sicherlich sehen, dass SSG wird, aber es muss sich clean sein. Sie sind vollständig in die Pioneers. Viele Teams sind immer wieder in die Rotation, und Luminosity wird einer von ihnen sein. Sie sehen, dass Dark Veil auf in die Distance, past Sorcerer's Screen Line ist, und das ist wo die zwei Exhibitionen also entschieden. Das ist das, was ich spreche über NRG's Position. Ja, es ist in der nächsten Zone. Ja, es ist großartig, aber es ist so schwer zu halten.
01:11:25 It is, but look, TSM on their north side get taken out by LG, and now Temper coming in and trying to take that fight as well. You can see Sykes is barely alive at this point. Somehow, Temper don't get a whiff of that, and they're not going to press the advantage. Does this mean Rezzers are on offer here?
01:11:48 Oh no, Sykes, kind of still watching different angles and gets swung. Takes a lot of damage. We've got three exhibits popped. SSG down the right. Falcons have already rotated up through that building, neighboring Kansas City Pioneers. And honestly, LG and Temper fighting, LG now falling, kind of gives NRG that more safe haven that they needed. I mean...
01:12:09 You probably couldn't see it on the small map that came up, but the circle actually finishes mostly inside the building where NRG is. This is one of the most ridiculous circles for them that you could ever see. Sadly, they don't have a Catalyst, they don't have a Watson or a Caustic, they don't have those defensive legends that would just make this like an auto-win, but they still have the position and they will hold onto it with their lives.
01:12:34 Oh no. Also, Atapant got the Devo in hand.
01:13:04 Ja, ich würde sagen, da war das eine Bildung, die vielleicht vielleicht hat es einen Korner in, und ich denke, das war Falcons zu sitzen, und dann dachte ich, das war es nicht wirklich gut. So, ihr könnt es sehen, die Puppe aus dem, und es ist ein ziemlich... ...unfortunate Rotate für sie am Ende. So, das ist pretty much das Spiel gemacht für sie, ich würde sagen.
01:13:23 But yeah, look, nice spot up here that C9 have got. They've got Oblivion underneath them. And then we've got other people, quite a few teams down, knocking on the door of NRG. I'm really curious what this rotation for Cloud9 is going to look like, only because you stated that Oblivion is down below them. But for NRG, we are still holding on to this building. Temper on the outside.
01:13:48 mit drei von ihnen kind of looking to take space, aber die Tür zu öffnen und die Tür zu schauen, wenn ein Nrg auf einen Nrg ist, wenn ein Nrg auf einen Nrg geht, dann wird das nächste Mal sehen, dass wir ein voll send werden. Und sie haben Spaß hier auf Fuse, die ich liebe hier. Er hat die Motherlode in den Pocket, aber wir wollen die Nuckelflustern sehen. Für jetzt ist es das Oblivion C9 Rotate. Okay.
01:14:12 Dark Veil ist da. Ich denke, seine Team-Mate hat den Exhibit gewonnen. Er wollte das weitergehen, so er hat sich nicht mehr helfen. Naughty. Oh, er wird sich ein bisschen mad da. Aber sie kommen noch aus unschätzt. Und Chaotik also hat den Dark Veil, um zu steuern. Der Walk in hier, auf der west side.
01:14:33 So good thus far. Picking up two eliminations here. And with five squads remaining, Oblivion does get full white. Now you really start to set the seal here because that Dark Vale is expended. We need to chain those Ult Excels down together to make sure that going into the final engagement, we've got as much as possible. Hal, though, still alive. Here goes an exhibit. Fun. Knock. Reptar on the right-hand side. Hal's not going to have too much space to go. He's going for a full wrap to the open side of the...
01:15:02 weil Tempura ist, mit dem Devo, bereit zu connect. Es dauert lange, aber er hat vier Placement Points, um die Falcans zu verabschieden. Aber es ist alles über die anderen vier Quads remaining. Tempura hat sechs Kills already gewonnen. Aber bei Adjutant ist es, dass sie einen Moment in den Weg machen müssen.
01:15:26 Hey, they're on that must-win, right? They came into the Regional Finals in 20th place, needing to win Match Point Finals to lock in Mannheim, Germany. But a team that wants to steal the deal from them is going to be Cloud9. They swing, they take down SSG, and Temper falls in the same vein. Sauce, Naughty, Down, Chaotic, trying to hold it on, but NRG from the building that I said was going to be so tough to hold, they do it with ease and take map number two.
01:15:53 I mean, I don't think anyone even got inside. They had that lockdown so tight. And I think one of the things that helps with that is the fact that that building has two doors, which are indestructible, right? I mean, you can just pop them down as soon as someone comes up, unless, you know, there's like an annoying Kashir or something sitting around and like doing the drone trick where they just like keep toggling the door open. But, you know, not to be seen here in NA at the moment, the other two doors were knocked out, sure. But with the fuse, you know, hopefully,
01:16:23 you've got enough knuckle clusters that you can just keep firing them and people don't ever really want to push through. That's one of those ones where I kind of wish before like all the chaos erupted in Cito, we could have got a listen in from NRG to kind of hear how they were navigating holding that because I did see some piercing spikes down on the ground, which obviously not going to be from NRG, could have been from Temper on that back.
01:16:46 Yeah, and you know, look at Bangalore as well, right? And now that you cannot have the threat vision to see through the smokes, I don't know, maybe that's as good as a, you know, a cap.
01:17:07 Okay, well we pull up those match 2 results, NRG grabs 8 eliminations from that entire game for 20 points. That is what I'm talking about.
01:17:34 Brilliant way to bounce back after grabbing 4 points in match number 1. Cloud9, who grabs that main building in Cito, rotates above Oblivion, grabs 9 eliminations for 18. Overall, pretty massive. There's a big game there for Tempo, but wow, Falcons even pushing up with 11 points. It didn't look like that great a game for them.
01:17:58 Und sie sind auch mit 11. Sie haben einfach nicht zufrieden. TSM mit 9 points. Das ist ein guter Effort von wo sie sind. Und LG ist auch mit 7. Es fühlt sich alle die Teams, die ...
01:18:14 hier in North America are continuing to just put up points when they need to and that is exemplified by them taking away points from all of the donuts that we see on the bottom half of our standings here.
01:18:28 Yeah, they just got Point Spunged. So let's go ahead and bring up our top three teams. Stats, you can see right there, NRG, 3,200 damage. But Cloud9, who controlled the high ground in CEDO and was able to watch a lot of those teams out towards the west that were rotating in, walk away with 5,600 damage. And honestly, Temper holding that north side of the building from NRG in the water. 4K, six eliminations. It's pretty stellar.
01:18:54 Not too shabby at all. And this is our overall standings right now. Two matches are played and Falcons are more than halfway already to match point. 22 kills. These guys are slaughtering the North American lobby right now. NRG and Cloud9, not too bad either following up behind them. But look, there's a gap already, even after two games.
01:19:20 Yeah, there really is. And honestly, maybe it's all part of the plan because the majority of the Falcons points come from Storm Point. Maybe if they can just get 15 points throughout the next two matches, throw it back to Storm Point where they've already won four games in general throughout the regular season. This is a good way to kind of just carry through that series. But Genome, look, it's been a lot of fun casting with you for map number two. We've got to cut it to a break. And when we come back, match number three.
01:19:56 Es ist ein 1v1!
01:20:25 Ich hab ihn! Ich hab ihn! Ich hab ihn!

Strategische Bedeutung von Kartenkenntnis und Anpassungsfähigkeit
01:21:36
01:21:36 mit Angle 4, es ermöglicht uns zu sein, wenn wir diese Broadcasts haben. Es ist ein viel in EMEA, jetzt gehen wir in Nordamerika. Wir sind auf Nummer 3. Rande hier mit Vickie Kitty, um die Aktion zu gehen. Es war ein tolles Spiel, dass wir NRG mit uns aufhören. Und Vickie, wie viel NRG hat das Wettbewerb? Sie definitiv haben, weil das Team ist, wenn ich nach Nocte und die Art, wie er...
01:21:59 Fokus is on IGL, Momentum is everything. Mental is everything for a team like this. So already opening it up with game number two in the books with a dub. Now you're going on to World's Edge where Tiff and Geno highlighted perfectly. Where Falcons, they basically got all their points on Storm Point. Now as we're going on to World's Edge, this is the opportunity for a lot of these teams to do something in a very similar fashion. Farm these kills, get to max point first, and then you can focus on getting the dub if you cannot solidify those 12 extra points already.
01:22:29 I can't imagine this going 9, especially with a team like Falcons and the way that they played already. 35 points after 2. Certainly, they are within closing distance here, at least getting a match point if they continue this up in match number 3. World's Edge, though, will be the difference, and that's where we'll see if things start to shift. We know that some of these teams particularly perform quite well on certain maps, and that will obviously tilt in their favor. Falcons having...
01:22:55 Es ist nicht ein random pick. Der Performance hat sie den besten Pryo in World's Edge gewonnen. Das ist SkyWest. Das ist nicht gut für jemanden, der sich aufhören kann. Wenn du musst, Vicky, musst du jetzt machen. Weil Valkas kann es in 4.000 Euro machen.
01:23:11 Yeah, exactly. And it's the fact that now they're going to be able to prioritize their POI on a map that they know they do lackluster on. What was the stat? 75% more in favor for them when they go to Stormpoint is crazy. But we've seen very similar stat lines for some of these other teams where they find that success on World's Edge, but then vice versa, they don't have that same success on Stormpoint. So now coming out of that NRG dub, where you highlighted Rain Day, how important was that dub? They were sitting on the cusp between 12th and 13th place. We could only welcome...
01:23:40 12 Teams from North America in Mannheim, Germany. So now all the points are necessary to take that away from Team Falcons if you aren't going to be fine for that number one spot in winning the regional finals. And also why it's so important to have one at least very good game because if it does end early, if the points are sponged at the top.
01:24:01 Das erste Spiel wird die Unterschiede zwischen 18 und 7, vielleicht 6 und 6. Und unlike EMEA, die starken Bewegungen können eine große Unterschiede sein, als NRG, die einfach genug zu fühlen, wenn es bald endet wird. Sie können 20 und 19 und 18, wie wir sehen, in EMEA in EMEA kommen und Gladiators, die immer noch qualifizieren. Das wäre nicht genug, als Sie erwähnen, als Sie erwähnen.
01:24:29 In World's Edge, we'll start off with NRG, Fun FPS, Knock, and Reptar. Last week, Reptar was coming off of a Sickness. It's always difficult to do. These are never easy lobbies to play in, whether you're talking mechanical skill or just mental fortitude to keep it up throughout the day, stay prepped, stay ready. But when you're adding the Sickness element to it, that's not what they needed. They bounced back really well after two, though, and are staring a pretty good start in the face here as they begin their World's Edge approach.
01:24:58 Especially since even though Geyser has lackluster loot, you still have a ring console in that northern building, an evil harvester trying to split some loot that's inside the vault tunnel, trying to see if you can find out where that next circle is going. Is it going to be able to scan that ring beacon? And we are going over to the south middle side of this zone. Haven't seen a zone like this in quite some time here, but it's a nice little change up than what we're usually used to seeing Rain Day.
01:25:25 Ich meine, das ist großartig für sie. Sie kind of eyehen die Center-Bildings, weil es gibt, wenn es Lava-Siphon geht, wenn es Fragment pulls, wenn es Fragment pulls. Sie haben Angeln auf das für KP. Sie können sich involviert in die Fälle. Und sogar wenn du late bist.
01:25:40 Because, you know, guys are obviously not that much loot. You probably wouldn't be late. But if you are, you could stay there for a few rounds and probably be safe. That's what NRG are feeling. So if there was a pull that benefited them, I would say this would be the one. And look at that. Already making a move there, Vicky. They realize this is an opportunity. Flat coming in. Liquid Alienware coming in as well. Maybe vying for the same buildings here. And you can see how important it is to get that information early.
01:26:04 The issue, though, when it comes to going in for these early
01:26:34 Rotations, or that you are lacking in terms of ammo, in terms of anything that you may need as you sit pretty in these buildings and are just going to have to forcibly farm your evil shield charge from afar.
01:26:46 Benefits, just to add, if you're playing Watson, you do have that passive shield regen on the ultimate that's going to passively recharge. So you can take damage and not waste shield cells and batteries because you know you haven't been able to loot enough of those to feel confident. But taking a fight is where things get risky. And you're right, they will have to go without some of those resources and hopefully get to blues. You see 30-30s on the side of Liquid Alienware and Niazul.
01:27:11 He's going to need that one as well. Havoc, only 19 bullets in the magazine after the one clip that he's got right now. Can't be feeling too happy about that one. Niazil knows he's working on a budget, but at least they're in a good position.
01:27:25 Literally on the sticks, honestly. You have to deal with what you got though. Especially when you are one of the teams rocking the Watsons. Something that you could expect within North America when there's no Kryptos around you to EMP and destroy all your hard work with the Watson fences and the space that you've created for you and your team now. As you can see, Liquid Alienware trying to get in a little bit of an aggressive angle, but with the heartbeat sensor, he knows that there's a team inside. Massive moment here.
01:27:52 R-Star ist wieder zurück, da ist noch eine andere als auch. Eine will hit, dann geht es in. Jakuatis hat sich in Probleme. Er hat sich in den Havok, er hat das Wettbewerb gemacht. Das Wettbewerb ist so gut. Und das wird dann getötet. R-Star wird wieder zurückgegeben. Das Perk ist nicht möglich, dass sie noch nicht geholfen haben. Das bedeutet, dass sie nicht über ihre Upgraden Optionen als Team und als Charakter sind. All diese Dinge sind so riesig. Aber Liquid Alienware wissen, dass sie für dieses Gebäude vielleicht für dieses Gebäude, das ist für dieses Spiel.
01:28:17 Wenn sie aufhören können, wie sie aufhören können. Nichts. Aufhören von Yan-Yan, aber noch niemand macht. Das ist entscheidend. Aber können Sie auch noch mehr von diesem Ammnischen machen? Ich meine, das ist die Chance, jetzt, zu bekommen die Lute, die du mit dem Team brauchen, die mit dem Team in der gleichen Gebäude ist. Any other Squalds in der Nähe, die von Harvester oder YUP kommen aus dem Harvester Tunnel, könnte hier sein. Aber wenn Nizul und Juan Guadis verlieren, haben sie zu zurück.
01:28:45 I can't believe it right here. This is going bad for Liquid Alienware. It's just too many people in the kitchen. And they're gonna have to get... I think they need to abandon this one unless they feel confident. Niazul's got nothing. He's got nothing. He's gonna go down. It's now you've got to stand and fight because you can't get Niazul out of there. You're just hoping to hold. No grenades can hit. The benefit of that is you obviously can hold down this little area.
01:29:08 But someone's gonna have to do something here and make a play. Yanya would be the one you'd expect. But Liquid Alienware go down to the relentless pressure from LG on the outside. And boy, sometimes it doesn't pay to be first.
01:29:21 Nope, especially when you just gave up that building for a split second to poke at a team that was already safely inside the opposite building. Now look at this. It was Fluffy Aimers who had forced their way into this building. And then they fluffed up Liquid Alienware before now. Not Moist have moved in to get the beam and the knock on top of it twice, both on Sweet and Funk. I mean, I almost said, you know, hold on, this is a children's game here. You know, this is a team game. It's not mature, but fluffed up. I guess there's nothing wrong with that.
01:29:48 Vicky Kitty making me question things as we're here in the North American Regional Finals. Stakes are high. Tensions are high. It's Timmy. We saw him do it once. Not gonna do it twice there. Takes too much damage. Moist is out. That's it. Fluffy Aimers have dominated this fight. They've gotten so many moments that have gone their way. And this is looking like a day for Fluffy Aimers that really no one would have predicted.
01:30:14 Listen, better late than sorry, I always say here, but with Hambino being the last one alive, we've seen Hambino do this before. The triple take! We've get eliminated. Hambino, the MVP, but the third party with that Seertak, get word of what is happening inside. Oh, my goodness. With the triple take, Hambino's not gonna make it out, but certainly is a part of the pieces breaking down in this lobby.
01:30:43 It was like a Jenga block just pulled out and everything started to crumble with that. Fluffy aimers were the piece that was removed. And in that same way, they removed all these pieces. Liquid Alienware went down. LG went down.
01:31:02 Es war so eine schwierige Kampf zu spielen. Und dann ist es Blink und Reeds, die sich in, um es zu beantragen. Aber man, 12 Teams nur live hier sind. Das ist eine der schnelleren Pace Starts zu einem Spiel, die wir sehen in Nordamerika haben.
01:31:17 It's crazy. Look at the flyby there, too. I like this choice from Oblivion because they were one of the early rotating teams, so they absolutely needed loot. And with the graveyard at their feet, they are going to profit while still leaving one member of Oblivion to hold down that northern building that Space Station is close to. So they're splitting this space to deny the opportunity from other teams that will be getting desperate, like Yup, to then get into that next circle once they see that next circle is pulling in that direction. Considering that there was a ring console over by Harvester, a lot of the...
01:31:47 The squads that are going to be rotating from that western side probably does already have that information or the teams even looking at Fioria TSM with Lava Siphon having a survey and a ring console. They're also going to see that it's continuously pulling north. Yeah, as that happens, we've got a juggernaut. I call it the Battle of the North in EMEA. It's a similar thing here. SSG, one of the most gifted individual teams fighting against Team Falcons would be probably their first fight of the game.
01:32:14 See 12 teams dead. What's been going on? No idea. We just been running around and looting. That's why we're on Purples. First taste of action here for two of our top teams in North America as Falcons try to make it through. Let's listen in and see how Zero directs the squad.
01:32:35 Ich weiß nicht, ob sie in der Top-Ride sind. Ja, da ist ein da. Da ist ein da. Da ist ein da. Ja, da ist ein da. Ja, da ist ein da.
01:33:03 Ich bin hier auf der Seite.
01:33:21 Ja, das ist nicht gut. Ja, das ist nicht gut. Ja, das ist nicht gut.
01:33:51 Haben Sie einen Bats hier, Phil? Ja, da sind drei Bats, da sind drei Bats hier. Ja, ich werde einen Bats. Ich werde einen Bats. Okay, ich werde einen Bats pick. Ich werde einen Bats pick. Ja, ich werde einen Bats pick. Ja, ich werde einen Bats pick. Ja, ich werde einen Bats pick. Ja, ich werde einen Bats pick. Ja, ich werde einen Bats pick. Ich werde einen Bats pick. Ja, ich werde einen Bats pick. Ich werde einen Bats pick.
01:34:21 Ich habe noch ein A's. Ich habe noch ein A's. Ich habe noch ein A's. Ich habe noch ein A's. Ich habe noch ein A's. Ich habe noch ein A's. Ich habe noch ein A's. Ich habe noch ein A's. Ich habe noch ein A's. Ich habe noch ein A's.
01:34:50 What are you purple? He's on top of the rock? He's on top of the rock, yeah, the fuse. Yeah, clip him. Wait, they're gone. They're left, they're left. Okay. Am I getting hot baits? Take it down the hill, or? What the fuck? Get some anti-guysers, some anti-guysers. What's the next route to here?
01:35:12 We should have a nuker building in the bottom. There was like one guy in this building earlier. I swear there was a solo in there. But there's no solo in there. Okay, yeah.
01:35:25 Well, a bit of a Mexican standoff there. A western where, you know, you put your pistols up and yet nobody fires. They set it up for a great fight. 3v3, Vicky. But unfortunately, at least for the viewers, and maybe not for SSG and Falcons, we don't really get a lot of blood there. Both teams will decide to break into zone their own way.
01:35:47 Settle things another day. Space Station said they didn't want any of that business, but it's still Chen who gets the knock, even if they are facing off in the choke that we were expecting. In the distance is Team Falcons. They see where they just ended up rotating to, talking about Space Station, and they're stuck in between the motherlode. They're coming out for blood, but do they know that KCP is what is standing in between Falcons and Space Station? That's so interesting. They do...
01:36:16 Noa Team is in there. The Falcon is still prioritizing the team on the far side. That was SSG, like you so appropriately mentioned. This is Falcons. I'm not sure if they're still so tracking it to where they want a little bit of revenge, or they just know this team is a threat. Evac Tower in front. This is the problem sometimes with that Fusil. Not able to really walk through any of that fire, especially if it's your own. Sometimes the unknowing nature of where it's going to fall once it hits that Evac Tower and grants you the vision can be a hindrance. It's one of the things...
01:36:44 Sie spielen auf jeden Teamfight, wenn sie können. Und jetzt ist es nicht so gut. Zero geht's, Falcons in Trouble, Imperial Allergen, Burton, sie sind weg. SSG und Falcons sind eigentlich weg, aber es ist noch eine von SSG, Koifel, die ist alive.
01:37:00 Ain't no way Koi in the Crevice was able to absolutely blast Falcons, following up off of the pressure that they had. They originally wanted to take that evac tower out of there. They did not want to try to continue this fight here. With the circle closing right behind their back, and they were getting pinged from afar. Exactly how Anu is, though. The hit fire shots miss out. Koi gets another knock, but fine. Knocked comes in to save the day. Take care of the problem that was left as a solo from Space Station. Now they will be able to get this res. But look at the charge.
01:37:29 Es ist NRG mit der P.O.I. bei Geyser, die haben nicht die Gebäude, die wir erst sahen, Rotate zu.
01:37:38 Ja, NRG ist in ein guter Platz. Sie sind in das Gebäude, sie haben keinen Duress, niemand versucht es zu nehmen. Das war die Unterschiede zwischen dem einen Gebäude und dem einen Gebäude neben dem. Es verändert alles für sie. Und so NRG actually lucked out. Pioneers, though, will have to try their luck. Oder NRG will have to move. Meanwhile, auf der anderen Seite, wir sehen TSM, die in ein ganz guter Position ist. Sie haben eine große Bewegung zu machen. Aber wenn sie es machen können, Elevate Gaming in front of sie in einer der Karavans zu der leften...
01:38:06 Es wird eine gute Möglichkeit für sie zu haben, in der Final-Zone zu haben. Aber das ist was Verholz. Sie gehen auf der ELEVATE-Side. Und da ist ein Solo von ELEVATE-Side. Und da ist ein Solo von ELEVATE-Side. Und da ist ein Solo von ELEVATE-Side. Und da ist ein Solo von ELEVATE-Side.
01:38:22 Und das ist TSM, eine perfekt Rotate von ihnen. Sie sind safe für heute.
01:38:51 Man, it's still a big threat. And I think for Zack's situation, Vicky, I think it's just great to have so that nobody comes towards you. Obviously, you want to get rid of the threat in front of you. But that Kraber, 10 shots left. The zone like this, the poke, the KP that's possible. It's going to be huge. TSM have stabilized. Maybe the moment's been missed. Keon up on top on the Pathfinder. This Furious squad. They've been looking better and better. Vaxlon has fit in so well.
01:39:19 Keon calls him the best Bangalore in the world, if you've been paying attention. Vaxlan certainly trying to live up to the high standard of that title. Madness, obviously, on the Fuse, the M&K player, making it so much easier. It's something we don't point out a lot, but just so difficult. I mean, it's impressive to see these controller players playing such a mechanically needy, character-like Fuse of how to aim those Knuckle Clusters exactly where you need to, high ground, low ground, quickly. It's so much easier for a character like...
01:39:48 Das ist toll, dass wir in den letzten Jahren gesehen haben, wenn es bestimmte Legends zu sehen, über die Priorität der Priorität ist, was man mit dem Controller oder Mouse und Keyboarden zu nutzen. Aber sie sind mit dem Split-Angle, sie wissen, dass Bord, das Bild auf dem Norden ist, und Zack hat...
01:40:07 Das ist noch nicht nur auf TSM. Sie sind auf der anderen Seite, wo Complexity ist, und die Brücke, wo Oblivion und Yup sind. 100 Prozent. Und die mehr ich denke, ich denke, Zack wird hier sein. Das ist der type von Bildung, das wird siegede, um Front.
01:40:29 Und so, es ist wirklich kein Neid, es ist so ein Risky-Player, um das Kraber-Shot zu halten, für einen gewöhnlichen HIP-Check, wenn jemand in den Highlight Reel ist. Aber wenn du mistst, dann ist es einfach, wenn jemand mit einem Abog oder einem Hemlock kommt. Du bist einfach aus der DPS-Race. Smoke kommt in, um die Line-of-Site zu shutt, Exhibit geht um, um es zu pushen. Es ist movement, sie sehen an Evac Tower, auch. Fuse, Lux-40, will er versuchen, dass er auf den DPS-Race geht?
01:40:55 Possibly, we could see an Ultimate. There's at least one that goes up there to Grant Vision. Verholz, TSM, they found their way outside. Now they're in front of E8. What are E8 gonna do about it? And what's Complexi gonna do about it? Because they've got to move out of the zone. And they're to TSM's left.
01:41:08 Das ist so, es geht direkt nach der Mitte. Das hat beide Elevates in hier zu sein, aber TSM mit Raphs zu verlieren. Sie sehen, Verholz ist wie ein Chameleon, auch in beide Englöse. Aber er läuft hinter Verholz, aber er läuft hinter Verholz. Er läuft um, um ihn zu empfehlen. Aber sie sind komplett disorientiert auf, wo der Team ging. Sie haben gerade auf der anderen Seite auf der Katwahl geholfen. Das ist weitergehalten, wie wichtig das Katwahl war, nach dem Exhibit war.
01:41:36 I mean, you're right Vicky, all those points so good and exactly why Catalyst is so powerful, but does it mean it's the end of TSM? I mean, is that maybe still a reset opportunity here because now the cat wall's been used and they're gonna try to push, but you're gonna push against Big E, the CEO, you know what he does? I called him CEO, maybe I should have called him, you know, COO, but at this point he's making a run for the title. What a clutch there, TSM take down complexity and they live to fight another day with a top five.
01:42:05 Lass Big E, doing big E things here, but as you mentioned, they go down before Complexity come in for the third party, and Oblivion may meet the same fate. NRG now, as a duo, try to take these raw hipfire shots on the triple take. All you gotta do is barrel stealth them if you can't see through any of that smoke. And now NRG looking to get the 2P, get the res, with nobody to contest him on that low ground, or even the high ground here, while EA is fixated on the other fight happening right next to them.
01:42:33 Well played. Well played from Elevate. I love just that they committed to the right caravan. They held it. And Zack still has eight shots in the Kraber. With Luxford and Slayer just being a little more aggressive. One shot from Zack and this should be over. But he smartly goes in with the Havoc. Up close is going to be the weapon that you want to use. Wait for the piercing, the Dark Veil to go down. And there's just scans all around. Bored.
01:43:01 NRG, E8. Three teams going at it, trying to grab a win. NRG, they are so close. 11 points. We get them to match point, Viggy. If they took down both squads, maybe it's enough. It'll be very, very close, though. NRG certainly hoping they can get over the threshold with a win here.
01:43:20 Especially with their low ground position as they make their way up. But whack-a-mole Zack Mazur finding the jumping Bangalore. And the shot with the Creeper. But shooting Blinks through that smoke before Elevate wrap around the Aggression. Three squads left and you know the Energy is waiting right around the corner to engage. Nothing bored about it. They are excited. They are at their best. When they are in these moments, NRG have momentum and they keep it up. Another win.
01:43:49 Another moment for Knockfun and Reptar. And could they have just put themselves on Matchpoint? That was crazy. Remember we're talking about when it comes to mental and the momentum that we know this team is capable of? Well...
01:44:04 Fun just went crazy that game there, too. Not only did he clutch up for NRG on the low ground in that fight, he stays alive, gets the reset. He also was able to get 7 KP just himself by the end of that game. But crazy back-to-back from NRG. One Unstorm Point to end it with World's Edge right after that. Incredible stuff, and I think you're talking about the right conversation.
01:44:27 Because we set it up around it's the little things that have gone wrong. It's the day of decisions. It's not the strategy. It's not the macro. It's not the players. We know these players have been so, so good. Remember.
01:44:38 Complexity Reptar, and Bloodhound, that was the first time we saw Bloodhound in the ALGS in the same way that we're seeing it now, running at people with Monsoon to his side. I don't know if that was Synox, I mean, I don't know who was next to him, Retsy maybe, but whatever it was, there was just such a crew there who was going hard with that character and that aggressiveness, so you know that the skill is there, but finally putting it together, that's got to feel good for NRG, and it's also got to feel like relief for them as a team.
01:45:07 that they're finally doing what they should be doing, Vicky, what people expect them to do, taking a little bit of weight off the shoulders as they head into another great performance and only, maybe just only, find themselves a few points away from match point. Maybe they made it. We're going to have to wait to see.
01:45:19 That's crazy to say with the back-to-back win. They at least were able to get a good amount of KP. I wouldn't be too surprised, Rain Day, but you did highlight something that we know that Energy is capable of, but it was also being on that cusp and feeling that pressure going into regional final day. Again, this is a team that was sitting in 12th place overall, but the way that they played that game on World's Edge, seeing that they landed Geyser, seeing that they had the ring console, they were able to make a quick rotate and notice how they did not get overzealous when everybody else was fighting in front of them before.
01:45:49 Und ich glaube, das war so eine gute Sache. Wenn ich mich zurückkehren, war es so großartig. Es war so großartig, wow, eine große Zone-Poll für sie. Nicht viel Arbeit.
01:45:59 Und sie haben die Möglichkeit, hier mit der Information zu sein, um die ersten zu den besten Spots zu sein. Und das Priority Spot zu sein war, wo sie von der Spiel war. Und als die Spiel in 18 zuerst hat, es ist nicht das ganze Geschichte. Diese Top 10, insofern die Top 10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10
01:46:25 Denn für mich ist es, dass die acht Teams, die wirklich early sind, war ein Kampf für die Lokation. Schau mal, wie viele Kills und Punkte sind in den ersten drei Teams veröffentlicht. Normalerweise ist es ein bisschen mehr spreader, aber es gab viel Eben-Distribution, weil es Chaos war.
01:46:44 Especially that first building that we saw two, what, three teams fight for that one building north of Lava Siphon was insane. That's why we saw Liquid Alienware on the bottom end of that overall standings now here, too, as NRG reigned a two points away from hitting Matchpoint. Not sure I have this as an expectation for today, though. I mean, I think NRG, a good performance is strong, but this type of performance, I mean, leading Falcons by 11 points.
01:47:12 und den Rest der Lobby in der 3rd-Place-Temme mit 24 Punkte, 2 Wins bereits. Das ist fantastisch, es ist phänomenal und es ist wirklich ein Showcase, wie NRG haben diese Lobby genommen und auch...
01:47:25 The quality that is in North America. Genome, I know you've been watching on the sidelines. Your take, NRG, they get two wins already. I mean, is this CyberCats all over again? Are we going to see NRG close the deal this time around? Oh, God, I hope not. You know, that played with my heart enough to see CyberCats do so well and then not make it through. I mean, NRG are in a better position than they were, right? I mean, NRG, if they can keep this pace up, will just get in regardless because they can actually qualify through points. They don't necessarily...
01:47:54 have to take that match point win but damn if we are getting some like vintage NRG right now I mean they've kind of gone missing for I don't know what is it like eight months something like that now but you know all of a sudden they're back to that spot where it was like you know they kept coming to people being like hey we've never finished worse than second in an online league before and you know they need some of that energy if they want to make sure they don't miss another land
01:48:21 Well, we honestly know, you know, the thing we do know is that if NRG bring the energy that they're bringing over these last two games, they're going to be successful. Whether they are in split or whether they are at LAN, it's the question of can they do it? All those dynamics, Genome, coming into play. And you know what? I know someone who's been watching as well who has a chance to chat about some of those dynamics too and talk about the overall scene. It should be.
01:48:47 Is he in Scotland? Is he doing a kilt race? Is he in London? Is he at dinner with Hal right now as we speak? I mean, what's going on with this guy? We the people, our ALGS host, the man on the stage, you know, levels. I'm saying it before you because you always get mad that I do that. What's up, brother? Welcome to the Halftime Show. How you doing? What's going on, you guys? If there's anybody that can say levels and I'm going to be happy with...
01:49:17 It's you, Rainn. It's you, man. Well, I'll say that one more time as well. Listen, man, I don't know. Before we get on this, where have you been? You've been all over the place on the timeline. I know people just want, have you been having a fun time? It looks like you've been on vacation or something. Yeah, it's insane. My girlfriend's sister got married in Ireland, so we took a little trip to Europe, did a little kilt race. It was the Scotland Highland Games, and we got second place, but...
01:49:45 I should have won, man.
01:49:49 Well, that's a good segue into competition, for sure, as today has been pretty scintillating as well. I'll just say the obvious thing, and then we'll let Vicky and Gino kind of talk to you as well. NRG, how about it? Is this what you expected? What's your thoughts just after their two games that they've won after three? Yeah, I mean, I definitely expected them to do well. They're, you know, three phenomenal players, but two back-to-back wins, you know, one on Storm Point, one on World's Edge.
Halftime Show Insights und Team Falcon Favorisierung
01:50:1701:50:17 You love to see it. You love to see it. And I'm excited for the boys. I know they're hungry to make it to land, make it to Germany and compete, try to win. I love how the Christmas tree is just tilting even more and more as like the months progress out in the background. All right, Pheebs, I tuned into your stream earlier. You were super excited to join us here for the halftime show. Seeing the competition, the levels of competition.
01:50:44 In this lobby have just been crazy to see alongside with Team Falcons and the way that they just treat every game like a kill race. But this is Matchpoint Regionals Finals. So, you know, you have to take the dub after you hit 50 points. I mean, out of the teams that we're seeing performed thus far, including NRG in that conversation, which of these squads do you think has that more consistent chance of taking the dub? Because I know, you know, the boys over by Team Falcons, they do live right by you over there by Austin. So it's crazy to see the way that they've been able.
01:51:14 Yeah, I mean, if we got to give it to one team, you got to go Falcons. I was at dinner with Hal last night and I, dude, he's hungry. He's hungry. He wants to win second place. He's not going to be happy with. But, you know, we are playing a battle royale. It's anybody's game at the end of the day. It's match point. And so we'll see what happens.
01:51:38 Well, we've had a couple of really fun games so far, peeps, so I'm gonna take you through those final circles and get your thoughts on how these played out. Who was, uh, you know, the kind of, the keys to victory were for the teams, um, that won our first few matches. Here's this one, uh, over near Launchpad, where Falcons went crazy, but they didn't quite get the win. Do you think, is there anything they could have done to make this better, or was playing for KP the right play?
01:52:05 Sie wissen, immer für K.P. ist gut, aber ich würde gerne sehen, die Falcons und die Böse haben. Sie haben das Team gespielt in den Knockdowns. Sie können ein bisschen mehr warten, haben sie ein paar Knuckle-Clusters gewonnen. Sie haben ein paar Knuckle-Kluster gewonnen. Aber in der zweiten Platz mit den Anzahl der Kills, glaube ich, 24 Punkte? Phänomenal.
01:52:30 Es war ziemlich nuts. Und ich weiß nicht, vielleicht Hal ist auch zu viel zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst, um, zu, ihr wisst.
Strategie und Kartenanalyse in Apex Legends
01:52:56
01:52:56 Und Sie sehen es perfekt hier. Und Sie sehen es in der 3rd-Game. Und der 2nd-Win, als auch. Sie wissen, dass sie patient sind, warten für die Moment der Strecke. Und es ist perfekt. Und es ist perfekt. Sie haben einen guten Tag. Und ich will sagen, eine Sache zu starten. Wir haben nicht gesehen, eine Final-Circle in diesem Bereich. In diesem Bereich mit der Brücke in so lange.
01:53:23 Und ich vermisse diese randomen Circles. Und ich denke, das ist eine der besten Dinge über Apex. Es gibt all diese... ...different Endgames. So würde ich gerne ein bisschen mehr sehen. Phänomenal Headshot von Zack. Ich meine, ich wünsche ihm die zweite als auch. Ich habe ein bisschen 3 Kp. Oh, actually 2 Kp. Fun stole one. Und NRG ist einfach gekommen. Easy kills, easy dub. Und, you know, 2 points away from...
01:53:51 Hitting match point. Hey man, you've given us a very insightful quote today. You said, you know, you went out to dinner with Hal yesterday and he was hungry. The follow-up, did he eat anything? Did you fill him up or what? Well, yeah, he ate. We all ate some sushi. It was good. Very expensive sushi. But it was tasty.
01:54:22 I could tell the Daltoos wreck was questionable for you guys as well. But all jokes aside, man, we like to have fun when you're with Atlanta. It's always an amazing time, man. And so we like to joke around. Hungry in game, hungry. Hopefully he got some meals before he headed into today's matchup as well. But peeps, at the end of the day, whether he sent Hal starving into the games or whether he was filled up, it was honestly one of those things where Falcons was always going to be a favorite.
01:54:50 Are you predicting them to win before we let you go? Do you think this is going to be a Falcons day, even though NRG are playing this well?
01:54:57 All right, like I said earlier, it's anybody's game, and it's tough to say one or the other. But if I had to put my money on anybody, I'm going with the Falcons, going with the house favorite. Still, still. Okay, the odds, man. You know, if you win that one, it's going to be good. We appreciate you, brother. Thank you so much. It's always a pleasure, always a laugh to have you on. Thanks for joining us here so soon after all the travels. Love y'all.
01:55:23 All right, Peeps may join us as well after game number six. If it goes that long, we know we'll at least do six. We could be closing there, Vicky. I mean, so funny. Peeps always just such a bright energy. Just makes you laugh right away. And at the end of the day, it's just great to see. Still sticking with Falcons. That's true love right there. Yeah, the dedication is real out here too, Rain Day. You know what? You got to give props. I do not blame them, especially if they're going out to dinner yesterday. I mean, what do you expect? I wonder if they just candle it.
01:55:52 Ja, was going on? Was going on here? Was the what was the scene? Was the temperature here? A lot of pregame meal talk. Listen, these are these are athletes. OK, we got to give it to them. Listen, I love everybody watching. We're having a lot of fun here and we're still got more action to come. So stay tuned because we've got Vicky taking a break. We've got Tiff and Genome getting ready to kick it off in game four. Oh, we are full sending it.
01:56:21 So here we go. I'm back. I was honestly really curious when I was listening to that interview. I was waiting for peeps to be like, like I said earlier, pal's hungry. And then he didn't do that. So I was a little disappointed, you know? Yeah, look.
01:56:39 I don't know how much more we can say about that without getting in trouble. So I'm just going to leave it for the moment, Tiff. But I'm glad that they're getting along well. I'm glad the Falcons are doing well. And look, it's always a good time seeing peeps. Nah, it really is.
01:56:55 But for NRG kind of rolling off this back-to-back win, not only done that on Stormpoint, but they get a win on World's Edge, which is very characteristic of what we saw in the EMEA region earlier. Only over there, it was Cybercats, right? And they were on a different page. They needed a must-win situation. So as we move into this second map on World's Edge, and we've been seeing a lot of zones that have been different from what we've been witnessing. And a lot of that, I like to think, is from the mid-season patch. But maybe you're at home, you're logged in, you're looking for one.
01:57:24 If you want to host one of your own, be sure to check out Face It Watch. It's the official multiview streaming platform for the Xbox Legends.
01:57:32 Es ist die Map-Vue, Genome. Es ist so toll, um mit der Art von Apex zu unterstützen, denn die Map-Vue wirklich zeigt, viele Rotationen und gute Möglichkeiten zu reviewieren. Oh ja, es ist eine ganz andere Erfahrung, wenn man die Kontext und die Information, die die Map-Vue gibt. Ich meine, wir können unsere Job nicht ohne es.
01:57:58 We really couldn't, but let's get locked in. Map number four. Our dropships, multiple of them. Zoom off into space. Honestly, I don't know where they're going. I thought you were going to get more Spar Wars there. But for now, we get a good look at Geyser, your back-to-back winners. Now, Genome, something that I was doing when I was kind of just prepping for this is, do you realize that the only map that NRG has won aside from today was a Storm Point map on match day one? Damn.
01:58:25 That's a fun stat to hear come out, I guess. Yeah, look, NRG are showing up here today. You cannot doubt that, right? It's a little sad they didn't get over the hump and, you know, I don't know how much more you can ask of them, really. It is only game four. They're not quite on match points just yet, but it feels like it's imminent. I mean, yeah, they're two points away and then we see that beautiful...
01:58:52 Ring console scanning. Look, you know, I think it's happening. I think it is happening. I think NRG, we're landing geyser, which is crazy. See, a most intriguing circle pool that is very similar to what we have been witnessing. Yeah, is it a repeat circle? I'm just having a look. Do they have a ring console, though? Because you get the most tragic...
01:59:19 Sometimes where a zone gets just dropped in your lap, but you don't have the ring console so you don't realize it and From what I can see, I think they've only got a survey beacon
01:59:31 There's a Survey Beacon in No Name. There's a Survey Beacon in Geyser. And if they're going to look at where this circle is, they're going to wait for the Overlook team to rotate on out where that ring console is because you know Lava Siphon is going to have all the teams from the south kind of correlate up there. So their best chance at a ring console is actually Overlook. Yeah. Do they want to go all the way out there or do they just want to play off, as you said, watching the other teams like Cloud9 rotate who, as they can see, are coming towards them.
02:00:00 Oh, yeah, no, they're going for that Survey Beacon in No Name, too. Yeah, it's tough, right? You get a circle that's relatively easy for you to read, but you don't get a Ring console to know where it's going. Plus, you think about their Legend composition, right? You've got to see... Wait a second, we got Reptar on Watson. Times are a-changing, no Fuse for them. So, yeah, even if I was, like, thinking they were going to still have Fuse and they would have to wait for Ringmaster to hit that Ring console, but no.
02:00:27 We can see it. On blue, right there. And now we've got to fight our way out. Bleed already engaging there with Cloud9, who's been sandwiched with Liquid Alienware. That's tough. Well, Cloud9, the team that they were watching to see what to do next, I don't know if running into the middle of several other teams is something that they want to follow suit on, frankly. NRG do look to be safe.
02:00:50 für jetzt. Aber Komplexity ist auch wieder in die MADNESS hier, als all diese Teams kind of shove themselves in, in, around, near die Choke that joins Lava Siphon und Fragment.
02:01:05 Well, at least Bleed does have that ring console that's going to give them the information and they seem to be wanting to play from one of the southern buildings in Fragment East. So if we are going to expect to pull back to Frag, which is a really good gamble for it, but I also like maybe playing towards, you know, it's tough. Think of all the choke areas coming out of Geyser and then you have to deal with the Lava Siphon teams.
02:01:28 I think this might be the better play, especially for Bleed that needs eliminations, right? They've only been able to accumulate 10 points throughout. So keeping that north, the Watsons already got the Jenny down. We rip the shields right off them, but smoke and disengage to get back to the team.
02:01:45 Oh, doesn't pop the bat first. That's a risky play, but it does pay off. Gets there just in time. Another bullet or two, and it could have been a different story, but bleed for now. Get a chance to move their way further up. As you say, it hasn't been a super inspiring performance from the team just yet.
02:02:10 It definitely hasn't. As we keep an eye out, the big mod squad doesn't get a ring console. That one's also going to be in stack. So Temper takes a very large rotation over towards that Overlook side of things. For the teams that have made it into Lava Siphon, you've got KCP. And then across the way, you've got the board roster on 19 points. Eighth place for the day, which...
02:02:32 Honestly, it's pretty stellar, considering they were in 14th place. However, if you want to break into that top 12, we're going to need to perform exceptional, considering the teams that are just above you, such as NRG, in that 12th place spot when we came into today, had already thrown down two back-to-back match wins. Yeah, incredible start for them, but I don't know. I'm a little bit superstitious about this kind of stuff, and I think you have a certain amount of match wins that you get to use.
02:03:00 On a Match Point Day. And if, like Cybercats, you just, like, you press that button too early, they're gone. You don't get the back. That's my deeply held belief.
02:03:11 I also believe that as well, so that's what makes me nervous, right? I would have rather them gotten second place throughout, but Furia, speaking of second places, notorious for that, Kion goes down, now looking to get that res as Vax is gatekeeping here on the zip, not wanting to let anyone come on up the top. They get Kion back on their feet, the exhibit's out, and we zip.
02:03:35 That is going to be tough. And look at all the abilities that came through from that. They played that so well. I mean, just the shuffling the duties there for the team in terms of smoking it off at the right time, having someone to cover while you rez, looking at the zipline. That was really well done. Love that reset by Furia.
02:03:55 Well, yeah, because Pioneers were looking for a third party, and now all they're paying attention to is going to be that board roster and not Furia. Like, that was honestly coming down to, like, tenths of seconds on that retreat from Furia to move in towards that building. So love to see that for them. For Bleed Esports, who are still kind of out here on this northern side, it looks like we're electing to leave Fragment and kind of wrap down towards Vault Tunnel. Yeah, they've got...
02:04:22 Was that the one remaining member of ten part and they can see just getting a couple of flesh shots into them as well Bleeder on the chase. Oh Yeah, honestly look clear it out
02:04:38 Clear it out, and then maybe rotate back around, pop up to the surface, and then just make sure that no one rotates in behind you. Or be like knocked and run face-first into a frag. Ah, that's fine. As long as he's going in as the second man should be okay, despite taking quite a bit of damage from that one. This is... The Tempo player here has gotten out so far, but finally. Yep, he's going to meet his end.
02:05:08 It's just inevitable. You can only delay it for so long. The bleed roster now kind of separated a bit. Shuby probably holding down, looking for information. Would love to see where that third zone is going to start pulling. But for now, you have to deal with the fluffy aimers who are out there on the western side of that next zone who are trying to stave off against Weave. Now, this is where it's great because you've got Presley. They're kind of out there with the Watson fences that are so far forward. Even though they've motherloaded, they've hit the focus of attention.
02:05:37 Das ist der größte Thorn auf der Seite, wenn jemand kommt aus dem Choke unter dem. Oh, Hambino. Das ist wie du in der Nord-Amerikant region hast, weil wir haben Hambino. Das ist wie du in der Nord-Amerikant region hast, weil wir haben Hambino. Das ist wie du in Emiah hast, weil wir haben Bambino. True, das ist true. Do love.
Team Falcons' Herausforderungen und NRG's Matchpoint
02:06:00
02:06:00 All those names, they're so solid. But for the Falcons, guys, right? Okay, now they scored so many points over on Storm Point, but have been getting cut down on World's Edge. If you were 11 points from that 50-point threshold, I need to see one of the best World's Edge games of the day from them. However, not too good. Don't let a win just yet, because obviously, Genome says, there's only so many of those to go around. And yeah, as you were saying, you know, I'd rather the NRG would have got second. I mean, the Match Point Specialist Falcon, they did it, they took it.
02:06:29 Ja, ja, ja, wir haben es in Apex out. Ja, ja, wir haben es in Apex out. Ja, ja, wir haben es in Apex out. Ja, ja, wir haben es in Apex out. Ja, ja, wir haben es in Apex out. Ja, ja, wir haben es in Apex out. Ja, ja, wir haben es in Apex out. Ja, ja, wir haben es in Apex out. Ja, ja, wir haben es in Apex out. Ja, ja, wir haben es in Apex out. Ja, ja, wir haben es in Apex out.
02:06:55 Not great means that there's no smoke available for them to try and pull off a reset, though. Oh, I guess someone else helped smoke them to help Al get that bat off. And now they're going to have to move forward here. Trying to put some pressure on. Knuckle Cluster's behind just to give themselves a little bit of time. LG are pulling up, though, as you can see. And I don't think they're going to have time to get this off. I think Falcons are done.
02:07:21 Yeah, Fluffy Aimers have fallen down to the final 15 squads of the lobby, and here comes Luminosity. Dia had them picked to win, and honestly, I was starting to believe it also, but they throw down the exhibit, they start chucking those frag grenades, which honestly, I love the Falcons position, but not at this point in time of the game with so many teams around this area. Now, Luminosity moving in, they're going to have their back.
02:07:44 Wow. Red armor's insane. That's kind of what I'm looking at right now, because Falcons were in such a rough spot, and LG, I think, were just a little too reticent because they were scared, because they're on blues.
02:08:10 Und, ihr wisst, wenn ihr Spots auf Schuss auf die Red Arm ist, es schares dich ein bisschen. Hier wir in den Clutch zwischen den beiden Teams. Und Jen und Zero will actually turn that around. Das Team ist unglaublich. Ja, ich habe gesagt, da sind drei Power Houses. Aber dann, obviously, sie hat eine Super Team. Das ist das, was man erwartet. Und auf paperer, sie sind Astronomical. Und danke Gott, dass sie performen zu der besten ihrer Abilität sind.
02:08:40 Ich hoffe, dass die TSM-Falcons nicht beeindruckt sind.
02:08:58 because they did not go north towards the fragment side, and they're now being slammed by frag grenades, by mother loads, by smokes, a lot of vision and sight lines being cut off, but still trying to find angles around. Oh no, Verhulstow does not recognize that there's a player on the left angle, and that will see him traded for free there, and may even be the end of TSM. No? Wow, okay, they actually say...
02:09:27 hier, aber Furia... Are they going to push it? They don't know. They don't realize how weak they are. This is kind of like the LG situation. Sometimes you need to push in and strike while the iron is hot. Well, this is what Keon was saying on the last broadcast about what playing Pathfinder brought to Furia and brought to their team dynamics. It allows Keon to get extensions out like that and just make angles, make plays.
02:09:55 Free up them for space. They do send Vaxlon on alongside of him, where Madness has found himself in the building, still looking for information and focusing on the calls. For NRG, right, starting in Geyser, they rotate out through the tunnel, hit No Name, and then they navigate themselves back to this choke point where they've been since the dawn of time. And how no one has chowed them here is kind of crazy, but I'd have to imagine it's because of Reptar's presence with the fences.
02:10:23 Yeah, that switch over to Watson does seem to be working out for NRG, doesn't it? Because you've got to know, they're up to 50 match point. NRG are now match point eligible, not during this game, but from match five onwards. I mean, it reminds me of the days when they played Loba on Stormpoint. They, you know, I feel like you can do a similar sort of thing with Watson. It is not a play style that is that far removed.
02:10:50 I mean, you think back to the EMEA region, you got Passion UA. They play Watson on World's Edge, as do some others. And for now, with that circle pulling straight towards ahead of them, they just have to move into a building and fight for that. For Falcons, who have found themselves on the edge, sandwiching Cloud9, who ultimately goes down to a knuckle cluster from Fuse, now they can kind of keep that information forward as SSG is forced down towards the remnants of Frag, and that opens up Falcons for a relatively easy rotate through the open.
02:11:20 Ja, es ist nicht so bad für sie. Sie haben, Fluffy Amos zu haben, das ist wirklich was die Möglichkeit, um, zu haben, um, eine Chance gegen LG zu haben. Aber SSG sind da oben und sie haben auch geübt, nebenbei. So, es ist nicht getan und dusted yet für Falcons. Und Ennardy sind in eine viel superiorer Position. Aber, als wir gesehen haben, sie waren, glaube ich, die Blues, als die Reds, so sie haben viel Arbeit zu machen.
02:11:48 Ja, ich habe nicht viel zu viel zu kämpfen, aber für Furia, sie haben viel zu kämpfen. 5 Eliminationen so far für Nummer 4. Aber das ist nun in einem Ultimate Stand-Off mit dem und dem Team, die vorhin sind. Sie sehen, dass Exhibit hat was sie zu tun. Oblivion throws das aus. Aber, Furia ist einfach so, ich werde warten. Ich werde warten.
02:12:08 I don't have to play that game. Now you just lost your exhibit. We're gonna evac tower around you, and hopefully you've got ult excels. Oh, and here you go. Here's a rolling thunder. All right, both teams just trying to get out. They really don't want to take that fight, because it'll probably mean the end of both of them. Very luckily for Falcons here, all three teams on the northern side are gonna fight each other. Yuff goes down in the middle of Moisten SSG, and NRG actually gets zone-wrapped here by Elevate.
02:12:37 und gewinnen die fight. Nicht nur das, aber es geht sie zu PURPLES. Es tut. Und Falcons, sie hit eine Rotate. Hal, Lass Standing, zwischen zwei Golden Knockdowns und plenty of Nades zu boot. Seven Arcstars, zwei Thermites, und eine Knuckle Cluster. Das ist ein viel Mannpower, das kann aus Fuse kommen. Aber wir werden das Fuse focusieren, aber nicht im Guilden.
02:13:04 Full zero, but we still stick it. That's dedication. They get one back up. Will this be enough for Falcons? Honestly, for them, job is done. 53 points. Falcons will join NRG on match point from our map five here. So, look, I mean, they almost made it in here safe, but unfortunately, some very good shots coming out from Moise on the tail end of their fight.
02:13:33 Das ist das Glück du hast, Liquid Alienware zu den Falken. Und bevor der Rez kommt, wir suchen für einen Platz für unsere Jenny, denn hier kommt Not Moist, NRG, die Bits zu also bewegen.
02:13:56 Fun FPS, kind of left behind there, just with some cover to watch out and make sure that NotMoist can't push up that route. And 30-30, I hear, that's gonna be brilliant for that mid-range. Walt is gonna be careful.
02:14:11 Oh, Potentially a Rez coming in here. Yes, Team Liquid get it off just in time. And NRG don't look so good on the front end of this fight. Moist. They have a spot right next to the end of this circle, but I mean, there's trades going on and that means they should get involved. I'm not going to lie, I love the ability to weave those fences together, but unfortunately Fun knocked down.
02:14:37 Reptar, Last Standing, not Moist, come in, swing in, we jump around the fence line, we deal the finishing blow, and we take map number four. Inspiring stuff there from the no longer majority Australian squad. I must say sadly, well, unless you're including Draugr as well as the coach, I suppose, but it's still a team I'm going to be cheering for, and look, they...
02:15:06 Gave us so much to enjoy there in that match. We didn't get to see the fight up north. That was probably the key one where they had to take on SSG. But after doing that, the rest of the teams in the lobby kind of just got locked their horns and Moyes was able to come in and sort of take advantage of that towards the end.
02:15:27 Yeah, once you start kind of opening those fights around those bins, you don't have a whole lot of cover. It's easy to lay siege to that. You can find those angles. And with the majority of people in our lobby like running fuse and they just throw the knuckle clusters out, it can break someone down pretty quickly, which is why I love that Nina's always like looking for a spot to place the Jenny, albeit it was a little too late to try and make any kind of regain. But, you know.
02:15:49 Still pretty solid. Yeah, not too bad for them. And look, this is pushing Moist further and further up the leaderboard. Again, they don't really need a win. They just need a solid performance. What was the... It was like 12th or something. I can't remember. That they needed to guarantee them going through to the next set of playoffs. And they're looking very much on pace to be able to do that with a 24-point win here in-game.
02:16:18 4
02:16:20 Wow, Walty gets his power back and then throws down in-game. That's crazy to put a 24-point game down. NRG, although they went the distance, they got 12 points, they're on match point, and they did not win the game. Same can go for Falcons, who also hit that 50-point threshold. Let's go ahead and jump on over to that second page. TSM, Pioneers, Bleed, a lot of these teams that were looking for early rotates just unfortunately could not get it done, specifically Luminosity, right? They take that fight against Falcons.
02:16:49 Das wäre eine solid Position, aber es ist ein bisschen zu early für sie. Sie könnten zonenwrappern und vielleicht für die NRG-Player wir sehen, aber das wäre eine Distance. Ich war für Fluffy Amos für das erste Spiel, aber die Doughnut hier in Game 4 bedeutet, dass sie weitergegangen sind.
02:17:09 Going straight ahead, though, we've got Liquid Alienware, 4k damage for them. Jaguaros, 5 kills, not too bad. Guild! Bringing it up here in Game 4. Look at that, 1,700 damage, but more importantly, 8.
02:17:24 Gil a lot of the time has been anchoring for Moist. He's a very careful player, someone who seems to only take fights when he knows he can win. And you can see here, he's converted that into a lot of kills for Moist.
02:17:39 Yeah, that's pretty wild. Let's go ahead and look at the series results as NRG. 25 eliminations on the day. 60 total points. Team Falcons joined them on Matchpoint. And now you got to think about it this way, Genome, because we just wrapped up two World's Edge. And we're moving on to Stormpoint, where they've had the majority of their wins throughout Split 2. So keep eyes on them. Not Moist. SSG kind of in Cloud9 wrapping up the top five. But Genome, is there anything in particular that you want to call out that you're just like, hmm, I...
02:18:09 I think they could be doing more by now. Well, look, for the top two teams, certainly not that much, Tiff. They are having a phenomenal start to the day. To reach match point after four games is a great effort for anybody. And honestly, with how hot those two teams are looking, there's a couple of others who certainly could come up there off the back of it, but...
02:18:36 Well, I don't think anyone would be surprised if Falcons finish this before regulation time in Game 6, essentially. Oh, so you're throwing your predictions out there, technically. You're thinking that the Falcons are going to take it? Yeah. Yep. I'm staring at you. Let's go. Falcons in 6. Okay. All right. We'll see. We're going to cut to a quick break. And when we come back, will it be Falcons in 5? Will it be Falcons in 6? I don't know, but we're going to find out.

Matchpoint-Szenarien und Team-Analysen
02:20:53
02:20:53 Falkons in 6. That's the question as we go from overview to down into the caster booth. My name is Randy. I'm joined by Tip yet again here to get us going for what could be the end of the tournament. NRG, Falcons sit with a chance to close it all out if they win this game. I mean, it would be really wild if NRG just kind of finish it here and now because they would have won three.
02:21:20 Ich denke, Tiff, wenn du es, drei aus fünf, ist es was sie haben. Aber sie haben sich in so eine gute Position zu spielen, um die Momentum sie bereits haben. Es gibt andere Teams, die vielleicht auch die Momentum haben, und das ist das Spiel, das ist das Spiel, nicht wahr? Das ist das Spiel, nicht wahr? Game 4, wir sehen Moist starten zu wachsen.
02:21:42 Ja, das ist solid. Even mit der Zone-Wrap von Elevate, NRG just reads it and takes them down. Und dann alles beginnt zu korrelieren. Aber wenn wir über NRG sprechen, und ich habe nach der Placement League-Statistik throughout all der MAPs. Historisch, ich habe gesagt, das nur win er hat, war auf Matchday 1 in Stormpoint. Outside von dem, sie hatten 10 Top 5 finishes. Und für sie nicht nur 2nd place in der MAP,
02:22:11 Just recently, like, I'm just like, what is happening? Definitely, it's just the talent in this league is so important to highlight again and again and again, because it's not like all these other leagues aren't talented. But in this way, where you point out, well, this is such a dangerous 3v3 fighting team. Well, this is such a dangerous 3v3 fighting team. Well, this is such a dangerous 3v3 fighting team. We could be talking about not moist.
02:22:35 We could be talking about SSG. We could be talking about Falcons. We could be talking about NRG. You look at all of these teams and there's just so much lethality to it, which means it's going to be about who executes, who puts themselves in a position to be lethal at the right time. Anybody who makes an early mistake, well, they're going to be paying for it because it could be over in this game. Also, if you're a little bit too cautious, you don't get to that zone aggressively enough.
02:23:03 You might not have a chance at the end to do anything. So there's this fine line to walk and it's game five. Will NRG walk it? Will Falcons walk it? They've certainly set themselves up to either win or go home as disappointed. A lot of people thinking, well, the win could happen here.
02:23:21 Ja, und ich meine, wenn es hier stopt, wo sind Sie auf der Leaderboarden, wenn Sie außerhalb der Matchpointen sind, dass Sie auf der Fringe der 12th Platz haben, um in Land zu locken. Was ist das für Sie hier, wenn Sie das Scoreboarden locken in, nach dieser Spiel? Teams, die auf der Fringe sind, wie NRG, die auf der Leaderboarden kam in 12th Platz. Cloud9, 11th Platz, nicht Moist, 10th. Und dann, wenn Sie auf die Leaderboarden, nicht Moist ist in 3rd, Cloud9 ist in 5th.
02:23:48 They are doing everything that they can to make sure that when the day is over, they've got a ticket straight to Mannheim, Germany. I mean, you look at a team, maybe like, I don't know. If you look at KCP, 14th place, they're in 8th. You look at the opportunity for them to fall, because currently they're sitting in 14th. They're in 8 overall coming into this. They're sitting in 14th today. And teams like, obviously, Fluffy Amers.
02:24:16 They're performing well. A team like Oblivion, who is in 13th position, well, they're sixth place right now. If it ended right now, surely Oblivion would be able to jump up into that top 12, having placed sixth here today. If someone would fall, would it be KCP? Who would it be? We don't quite know, especially since NRG is also performing well. Cloud9 also performing well. Complexity might be a team that could worry a few because they're, yes, with 72 points, Tiff.
02:24:44 But they're in 16th place right now. That would only net them four more points. So 78, if it ended now, 76, excuse me, would be the number to beat. And I see a lot of teams that could beat that. That's what's scary. Exactly. As we get a good look at where that zone is pulling to, Liquid Alienware will reap the benefits of an easy rotation for them. Even Cloud9 hailing as they move out of that Jurassic Oblivion, making that quick rotate from CEDO. But you have to start to wonder.
02:25:10 If they are in 16th place, knowing that they were in that 9th place position coming into today, you have to be so worried about dropping. And this has been such a substantial split too. And Monsoon has had those pop-off moments. But maybe if we're under threat of ending here, we need to have a pop-off moment. We need to have it this game. Yeah, you just, I think a 10th.
02:25:36 Das war's für die Fuse.
02:26:05 Could be. Big Louie might pop it. It's actually looking like it's more for the rotation. Fusel already been used in the engagement. Nanofry is going to continue moving over the rock, heading towards Barometer and trying to secure a spot because it is an early Barometer zone tip. So priority position looking to be grabbed by Flat.
02:26:24 Yeah, Barometer's on fire right now. Complexity rolls in just towards the lower angle, and Liquid Alienware is at the top. You know they're gonna be looking to come on up here. Lu has already dropped a knock onto Akimbo, and here comes Blinksers, and Oblivion has fallen. Liquid Alienware now have this time to reset, but they're not going to get a lot of it as that focus of attention does connect, but Complexity is not going to push off that.
02:26:49 What a big difference that change to that ability made, not allowing revives when it first came out. Obviously flat under a lot of duress, but you can imagine if that would have canceled the revive there, I mean, it's how powerful Seer was. Plus it did 10 damage as well. It's like, you know, insult to injury. You're already silencing me. You're canceling my revives. You're canceling my shield batteries, and you're just going to hit me with 10 damage too? I mean, that's not even significant damage. You're just doing it because you can.
02:27:16 I smiled through the pain of that. You had to. Yeah. I don't miss it at all.
02:27:23 But I love to see the reworks come through. And now we've just turned into one of those things where everyone is starting to run it after those mid-season patch changes that came through for Bloodhound. You've got exhibits galore. But as we kind of get a look at where some of our teams are, more in particular, some of our teams that are on Matchpoint, the squad on your screen, NRG, they've got that next zone information. And when you think about getting into Barometer Rain Day, once everyone has kind of moved in and trying to cross that open water, it can...
02:27:52 be so difficult it's a very hard zone to move in too late it's not an impossible one though there are a few you know i say maybe cenote cave is a little harder to move in because there's just so many choke points into this small island barometer's got a lot of open water around it so while it might not be a winning position there's a lot of stuff that can happen during rotations during zone three four that can give you an opportunity to
02:28:18 auf eine play. Die Falcons haben traditionell gut in dieser Zone gemacht. In den letzten Wochen, die zwei Barometer Zonen waren, sie waren in der finalen Zone, die drei in beiden Zonen waren. Eine in 2nd place, und eine in 2nd place. In der letzten 2nd place waren sie bei C.E.O. oder C.O.O. als ich ihn jetzt callen, Verhulst.
02:28:42 Also mirrored that match, fighting by that gravity cannon that you could see to your left there in this beautiful overview of where this is. So will that end up being a little bit of a premonition of what's to come here? Will we see Falcons find a secure spot? They're certainly in zone, ready to go. So are NRG. So two of our Matchpoint teams feeling pretty confident right now, at least where they're positioned. Look, I've seen.
02:29:05 We'll be curious to see now that we've got them under the helm of the Falcons, if they can actually take a win. If it does tend to pull out towards that side of things. For NRG, we've still got them working towards the Spider Cave out towards the west of Barometer neighboring Cenote.
02:29:35 I like this rotation for them. It allows them to make sure they're on blue. They get some of that smart loot. We've got utility. We've got our ults up. But what do we do to kind of close this gap of the open water knowing that teams have been on the high ground? You see where Luminosity has poised themselves. It's going to be kind of tough because everyone's going to be looking at that. Well, they're actually going to get some information. This is a great note. NRG are running into the zone to scan the ring.
02:30:02 And as they do this, as this closes, they'll get the next ring available. So they'll have even more information on where this is going to pull. And you can see it right there. It's going to pull exactly to where Falcons are. So NRG, no, instead of trying to flank down that southern side, which might have been the more typical approach, they're going to have to play northwest, maybe even north and run into TSM. Because right now, TSM from CETO, they also have a really good spot in command of that choke on one side or the other.
02:30:27 So be able to hold it off against the teams who are rotating. But as we mentioned in our G-gathering information, let's see what they say to each other about that information they've just gathered and how they're going to make use of it. Can we play that island early? Like the rock island? I've seen people do, but I'm not sure. Balloon? We're not Watson. Balloon on the bridge. Wait, why? Let him go. Let him go. No.
02:30:57 Hey 50 50 blue and they know we're behind us now are we gonna? We have to kind of force them out. We should go from spider side and I think we can go This way this way okay, so we can play it not in in after not great, but I'm done I guess There ain't not they're not we need to take bridge then we take bridge I'm full forcing it. Yep
02:31:22 Grab the card you can to move it in fun. Yeah, you got it. I'm gonna sell and grab it There is a team north by the way from Cito side so we have to be careful with that Okay, yeah, we have to hold up for Northwest. Yeah. Yeah, I'm watching south. Okay. I need to try 100. Nice. I need to try to do damage and get my purple. I got my purple Some $200. Can you can you watch Northwest? I'm 80 off. Yeah, I'm gonna try to upside both. Do you watch Northwest? I think I need I need to do I'll watch Northwest one
02:31:51 Wenn ich die Purple vor, dann würde ich mich überlegen. Ja, ja. Wir müssen uns wissen, dass sie uns, um, das Team ist. Das Team ist nicht wirklich komfort. Ja, sie sind nicht. Wir müssen uns auf Wettbewerden, um, Funn. Ja, ich kann mich überwinden. Ja, ich kann mich überwinden. Ja, ich kann mich überwinden. Ja, ich kann mich überwinden. Ja. Ich kann mich überwinden. Das ist weg. Da wir gehen.
02:32:23 Kennen. Kennen. Kennen. Kennen. I have to watch West, though. I kind of need to take Pryo. Fuck, man. Do you want to trade me? I'm not getting damage. That's fine. You need to play over here, Rep, though. Play over here, and I need to force the cannon guy off.
02:32:50 And NRG, between two difficult decisions. Nothing seems perfect either way. That's the difficulty of it. There really isn't anything perfect to do. Team's already in front of them on either side. So it's just a matter of them choosing what they're going to do and make that play, of course. And also, Reptar trying to join them on a purple.
02:33:07 We just need to connect one of these amped up Sentinels shots. Maybe to the head would make it a little bit easier. Fun, though. You can see he's watching that northwest side of things. And before we cut away, lost a significant amount of damage. We'll check in with that later, because Elevate getting Mixi over here at Seto. Time is at the Essence. You can see that round two ring is closing. The grapple to the roof. Kind of oversee the res here onto Zach Mazur. Still looking for full time is at the Essence. We got two eliminations, but a squad.
02:33:37 ...that needs to perform well here in the Regional Finals... ...knowing that they came into this in 15th place. Yeah, this is definitely a team we would like to see... ...and they would like to see themselves as well jump up. It would be a great story, especially of E8. Just a journey for Zack getting into this split too. Remember, as teams started to shift, trialing out a lot of his team members from E8... ...and going to different squads, losing Shubi, losing Zap to TSM.
02:34:06 That E8 roster was looking so good, but just that LAN couldn't get over the hump of being contested early on and often. And now had to create a new identity. But Zach Mazur has felt like he's redefined what Mazur moments mean to be these clutch, excellent showcases of what he can really do as a player. He's done it already in this game. Getting a top three earlier on on World's Edge. Can he do it again? Here as we take a look also at TSM who are looking at E8.
02:34:35 Und Zapto, und ich war einfach nur auf die Kamera jetzt. Als wir zurück zu Barometer gehen, wo die Action ist, Team ist auf der Backside, Tiff, jetzt auf die Mitte des Barrow, wo das Zone ist. Ja, es wird wirklich interessant sein, richtig? So, ihr habt einen guten Rotate-In, und da ist ein Platz hier, dass sie sich in die Richtung zu spielen können, aber in der Richtung zu gehen,
02:35:01 And what's in towards that next zone? Look at what Team Falcons have done, though. They're split holding two of the main buildings that are in that next circle, which, if they can hold on to that, it's going to deny a lot of these teams space. We've already invested an exhibit that's out there. Team Liquid Alienware is going to be in the center. We have Guares down. Yanya about to join them, but gets under the cover. We retrieve the banner, and we need to reset. With 17 squads still up, it's going to be very difficult. Reptar finds a kill.
02:35:32 In the killfeed with the Sentinel. So feels like maybe he's got to that purple. They've survived. You can see it just there. Bleed Esports still holding above. Falcons inside the building though. One of our match point teams. They've got to hold up against this. Lots of damage on Al. Return right back to Jen Burton. They get it down early. On to Keon. This is Furia. And that's it. Furia eliminated that quickly. Falcons hold on yet again. They're still in a great position. Just holding on the north side of Zone. A lot of teams in front of them.
02:35:58 Will they push in? You see, to your right, NRG, Bleed, going to be coming the direction of Falcons down south, but behind them is TSM and E8, so so much pressure is going to be coming from this north side southward. It's going to be a crazy next zone diff.
02:36:15 Ja, das wird es sein, wo Elevate Gaming hat sich gefunden haben. Ja, sie müssen sie unterbauen, aber was Bleed hat gemacht ist, dass sie vorhanden sind, und fengen die Ere, die Elevate hat. Für SSG, in 4th place, 29 Punkte. Still, versuchen sie zu machen, dass sie ein Teil davon ausführen können, weil wir nicht Moist sehen, sie in Barometer gesehen haben, um zu spazieren.
02:36:38 And the likelihoods of them trying to rotate through SSG, well, that was looking good until Koi decided, nah, nah, nah, no more. Pioneers and Not Moist back to the lobby. SSG, a team we have been talking about hand in hand with Falcons. They've actually been the team that would have contested the super team so much in this earlier part of the split that we thought, well, are they super? Yeah, they started to separate themselves with the consistency. That's why we're still considering things like Falcons in five, Falcons in six. But do not count SSG out.
02:37:07 Just a pioneer in Utah eSports as an org. Also just good peeps as well. They shout out to Shonduras and the team over there. And with them through many iterations of games I've been involved in. And Great Rep here in Apex as well. NRG starting to make their move, Tiff. 13 squads left. All on purple. So far the dream is still alive. Gotta close through the water. And if we can...
02:37:32 We saved the smokes for the very end. I just heard one get expended, so maybe we've already banked another to be used at a time where it is going to be critical. Reptar up ahead, scouting, hits for 88, gets a shield crack there, which is going to be nice, but it does give information of them kind of rotating in from this angle and is likely going to warrant a little bit of punishment. It's going to be interesting here, too. The pressure that Falcons have or...
02:38:00 Ich glaube, es geht darum, dass Nrg ein wenig Platz ist. Nrg ist ein wenig Platz. Nrg ist mit Blee, aber wenn Nrg, wie sie liebte, sich die K.P., wenn sie einen K.P. haben, wenn sie einen Lone Ranger sehen können, Nrg ist ein Problem. Sie sehen, die Schatz ringen past Rektar. Sie wissen, dass sie diese Angler so gut spielen. 33 auf den G7. Hits auf einmal. Wir re-Load, nichts mehr von Nack, der IGL. Looking nach der Seite, sieht die Team.
02:38:27 Flying above, that's TSM Elevate Gaming also flying as well. Leady Sports, the ones running in front of them. Shooting, missing most of those bullets, but gonna hit a few, you would assume. You can do it, I have faith. Still, just the pressure's probably enough, Tip, to ward them away from the direction NRG wants them to run. If only they were a little bit magnetic. Nah, see, this is why you save the smokes for a time that you most need them. He just finesses his way under.
02:38:54 A little cover hits that shield bat, and we're okay for now. But you have to turn your attention more directly towards the main buildings, the Falcons in particular, being sieged now by complexity. Cloud9 has fallen, and now that the circle has collapsed, we can see where it will pull towards as NRG still trying to stabilize around the rocks. Far from done, but top ten. You gotta feel happy about that. You've given yourself a chance. Two teams.
02:39:21 Das war noch mal. Noch nicht mehr, Nack. Wir spielen hier, wir spielen hier, wir spielen hier. Die Fuse Ultimate geht auf. Sie hat die Batterie auch. Wer ist für ihn? Es scheint Reptars zu sehen. Nack auf den Weg. Nack auf den Weg. Leid still mirroring sie auf der northern Seite. Falcons, die beste Sache ist, war Complexity zu versuchen, vielleicht ein bisschen mehr Platz zu bekommen.
02:39:40 Und so Falcons konnte nicht sehen, wie sie sich gegründet haben. Aber L.G. war das Team, die von der anderen Seite macht es schwierig. Wir gehen auf den Top mit Falcons. Tiff, sie sind in der Mitte einer Firefighter und versuchen, zu bleiben. Jim Burton hat all seine Shield verloren.
02:39:55 Well, you gotta remember, they were split holding this, and then TSM flew in, ripped one of the buildings from them, and now Bleed Esports is looking to make a play for this. TSM is just holding onto a mere amount of space onto this right side, but the Falcons have regained control of what is the priority building for NRG. It's going to open the door under all the chaos for them to just kind of move right in, but job's not done because they're still on the outskirts. LG Liquid Alien, we're also alive. Yup.
02:40:24 Es ist auch ein Team, ein Team zu gewinnen, um das Spiel zu gewinnen, um die Möglichkeit zu gewinnen, um Deutschland zu gewinnen. Aber sie würden zu gewinnen. Sie würden fast sagen, ein zweites Platz wäre genug, aber das bedeutet, dass die Zeit nicht hier endet. Wir spielen sechs Spiele, aber ein Winner kann hier in fünf sein, mit NRG still alive. Fun FPS auf der Fuse, auf der Fuse, auf der Bühne ist nichts anderes als Falcons, der Knuckle Cluster ist.
02:40:54 Es ist all drop auf dem Falcons, Red Shields, auf auf auf auf, ignored by Al...
Falcons sichern sich den Sieg in der ALGS EMEA Regional Finals
02:41:2202:41:22 Absolutely everyone, because they're just focusing on that position and denying anyone from rotating into that building. You do see Luminosity across the way, which could be really interesting. And yes, yes, that was tough. That was a heartbreak right there. I'm not going to lie for NRG. Falcons in the same building they were in at the beginning. This team was called a super team because they risked it all. HAL left the Dynasty of TSM. Zero.
02:41:52 Jen Burton left Dark Zero in the most dominant group performance we had ever seen in L.A. just a few months back. And they joined up. They created a lot of people who were against them. A lot of people would be happy if they didn't do this one. But I'm sure they, those three players who believed in themselves above all else, would be happy. Because the only thing they care about is a win! As Sykes goes down, Jen Burton picks him off as he's treading water. And now Sweet has a chance to try to get him back, Falcons.
02:42:21 On reds, 4 squads left with a chance to win it. Alright, well, let's full send it. Keep your eyes on Luminosity, though, as they've already sent one player over, the rest have joined. One solo Yup member left standing. The focus of a contention, it goes on out, and now Luminosity is just down there in the NRG death zone. Complexity has fallen. We're on 10 for Luminosity, though. Imperial Hau finds one. Yup eliminated. Could this be it?
02:42:49 It's two squads left. It's just Shin Burton, Zero and Imperial HAL against the world. The Falcons, they look like they've done it. And they have. The Super Team claims the win. They are on top of the ALGS as they told you they would be. It is Manifest Destiny for Falcons.
02:43:26 The predictions that all of our talent team did at the top of the show. And they're like, you know, to no surprise ever, I've got Falcons and then genome, you know, we just cast the last game and he's like, I got Falcons in six. And then I see one message pop up. I misspoke. Yeah, I met Falcons in five. I mean, I got to say the moment here is not to be passed over because whether you're watching right now on house stream, whether you're watching.
02:43:53 Zerostreamer, Jim Burton Streamer, you're watching on any watch party, you're watching here in the commentary, the impact of the statement that's just been made here. Obviously, Germany is maybe the big show we're going to really count, but the statement made here has just been one of confidence I have almost not really seen in a lot of professional aspects. These guys said we are the best. We have no doubt that we can throw everything away, start again.
02:44:22 und sie sind die besten. Und sie hat es in eine Art, es hat es einfach been undeniable, all season lang. Es ist ein Grund, sie waren die Winters. Es ist ein Testament, das level von confidence, Tiff. Und wenn du überconfident bist, manchmal ist es ein guter Ding, in diesen Situationen, weil die Resultate sind wirklich... Manchmal ist es einfach, dass du einfach in dich, wenn niemand anderes macht.
NRG's Leistung und die Bedeutung des letzten Spiels
02:44:45
02:44:45 Everyone believes in them, at least for the majority of people that I know. There's a lot of people that do believe in the Falcons. However, a lot of people do like to hate super teams. They do like to think on that. But at the end of the day, everything that you just said is so accurate. Those boys put in so much time, so much effort. Zero's now streaming, doing VOD reviews after ALGS days and doing all these different things. We already know how many hours Hal in particular has put into this game. And then Jen Burton, lock it into the sea.
02:45:14 Und jetzt spielen es extraordinarily. Sie deserve das für sicher. Aber ich möchte darüber reden, NRG zu kommen. Weil NRG war also auf Match Point. Und während der Region Finals, richtig? Ja. Sie haben die meisten schwerer Ergebnisse aus der ganzen Röster. Und ja, sie sind in 5. 5. Das ist okay.
02:45:42 But it's still enough to secure them, hopefully, to Germany. You will have to see as we take a look at the way things have ended after five. We will play six. And for those who are wondering, we need six for the rest of the teams to decide where they stand and qualify for heading into Germany. They still give overall season points, the positions after six for this, but we will not play one more. And I think just to add to that Team Falcon statement, you know,
02:46:11 Obviously, you put three of the best, most history, most LAN-winning players on the same team. You expect to win, but that's one out of 19, Tiff. And to be so good, to guarantee in a level of players at this level, to say, yeah, of course, we're going to be one out of 20. We're going to be lifting that trophy. Any other position is a failure for them. So to actually get that first place, talk that talk, walk that walk,
02:46:40 Das ist still impressive, no matter, in my opinion, how many people know how good of a team this is. Because look at how well NRG are playing. You look at the quality of teams here. I mean, anybody can win. We know the professional caliber here. But yeah, it was truly just Falcons all split too long. I think people probably better get used to this team's thing.
02:47:02 You really do. I feel like I've been saying Falcons so much in general over the past two months, not only in Apex Legends. I have just been watching Team Falcons in general just dominate whatever they set their sights to. So to end it here in five maps, phenomenal stuff here. It's just so amazing, you know, what can happen in the ALGS match point format. Always exhilarating. And guess what? If you want to see more of it.
02:47:30 Well, I know the exact spot for you. Mannheim, Germany. Falcons booked their ticket. We already know who will be the other 11 teams joining them. Well, let's check out the event that you should be excited about watching in August.
Analyse des Finales und Ausblick auf die Playoffs
02:49:18
02:49:18 Welcome back, everyone. You thought it was over? Sorry to say, it's not. And Team Falcons, they take it in 5 Genome. I cannot believe it. They did it. But also, I can't believe it. Look at the amount of kills they're farming. I mean, yeah, you're right. You're right. Howl was literally farming. He has like 18 total kills, 8,000 damage over the course of the five games. But you know what, guys? While you're here, and if you want to see Team Falcons in action and to perform live...
02:49:45 Guess what? Make sure to stay tuned for Split 2 Playoff ticket purchases. It is going to be absolutely insane. Tickets will be available soon, so you absolutely do not want to miss out on all the action. Don't forget to check out ALGS.EA.com for more information. It's insane to say, after five games, Genome, we get to close the book on our Match Point Regional Final in N18.
02:50:12 So, this is that ending. Oh, actually, a little bit earlier than that. And you can see... Oh, okay. Skipping ahead. We can see NRG went down here, man. This was tough to watch from Fun's perspective, actually. Not hitting a lot of shots. And that essentially kind of ended their chance to be the one who walked away with it in 5. And NRG, honestly, they were pretty close.
02:50:41 Falcons, they played that main building, and then they moved over to the Coffin Fight Lake, and, you know, that was exactly how you needed to do it. That's where the zone was shifting. If you play the Coffin early, you get slaughtered. It does end up indeed being your casket, but playing in the later stages is just doable if you're a team of the quality of the Falcons.
02:51:03 Ja, und in der Zeit, das Rotate geht so schnell, zu erweitern von NRG, wenn sie den Rotate hatte, in einer schwierigen Position zu erweitern. Aber sie nehmen die Nummer 5 in so eine gewisse Weise, während wir immer noch auf Stormpoint stehen. Man muss sich fragen, wenn Falcons gewonnen haben, warum wir noch weitergehen? Nun, wenn wir eine große Bedeutung haben, zwischen den ersten zwei Spielen, NRG und Falcons...
02:51:28 Das ist eine große Bedeutung. Aber du willst, dass viele Punkte wie möglich ist.
02:51:40 Ja, ich meine...
02:52:00 Ich denke, dass sie 1st Platz haben, also. Ja. Sie wissen, dass sie die 20k haben. Und das ist also das letzte Spiel ist ein bisschen wichtig. Weil es ein bisschen wichtig ist für einige Teams. Es ist sehr wichtig für andere Teams. Ja. Some Teams sind nur für die Placement in der Pro-League-Split in Nordamerika. Es wird die Placement verändern. Es wird die Seed für Land verändern. Es wird wie viel Geld von der Pro-League-Split gewinnen. Aber natürlich, dass...
02:52:27 The only ever-present thing we're keeping our eyes on is who makes it into the top 12 for the NA region. Now we know that Falcons are locked in number one. No one else is getting a golden ticket. So it really just is up to the overall standings and making your way into that top 12. Look at this ghost town. Where do Falcons go?
02:52:48 Oh, that's right. They won. So they're not even here at their POIs. The checkpoint is completely empty. Falcons will not be playing in this sixth game. So we will have 19 squads in this lobby. But I love how you highlight the monetary stakes at hand here, Dino. Because like you said, no one else is going to be claiming that first place spot. Obviously, that's $20,000 going in favor for Team Falcons. It is $125,000 prize pool that is spread out between our competitors. Obviously, our top 12.
02:53:17 Vielen Dank.
02:53:33 These extra points for this final game is going to mean a lot here for the teams that aren't even going to be playing for placement per se, maybe playing as a kill race to get as much KP as possible, maybe deny that from other squads, like if you look at NRG or our teams that are sitting right there on the cusp of our top 12 from being able to qualify or from being able to place into the money even further.
02:53:53 Oh, we're so on the same way, Vicky. I was just about to start talking. Yeah, it's like, you know, what is going to happen in this last game? It's going to be a little bit crazy because usually in match point, there's always this tension, right? That the game could keep going. We just need to play for the win. We need to play to, you know, to keep things trucking on. But this time, because Falcons are just too damn good, the rest of the lobby knows this is their last chance to get points. If you're slightly ahead of a rival who you need...
02:54:23 to finish ahead of in the Pro League split, maybe you just full send it at them, because you know if you win that 3v3, that's it, that's done. Maybe you can lock in a higher placement in the split than them. There's a lot of funky things that can happen here, because Falcons might be locked in for land, for sure, but there's a lot of other teams that are as well, and who knows what kind of chaos they're going to cause here.
02:54:47 Exactly. And that's why you could probably see some funky things that may go down in this lobby here. Last Chance Opportunity. We know that NRG feeling pretty safe now as they were on the cusp in 12th place. But seeing their progress for today has just been absolutely amazing. Though you gotta look at teams like Oblivion.
02:55:05 Exactly, look the Falcons
02:55:27 Fans, they're already off, you know, having a beer, having a good time, celebrating, right? But there's still a lot of fans out there who have got their nails, you know, biting their nails right now, wondering if their team will make it to land. Still quite a few teams down there on the cusp of getting through or not. I do want to highlight with Flat coming into play and knowing that this is the last game, they were trying out the Revenant, the Wraith, not really working out for a team who's sitting in dead last.
02:55:54 Unfortunate here while we take a look at more squads who are making their rotate. We saw earlier on that this circle is pulling very similar to a circle that we saw at the very beginning. Genome over to that north side of Pylon by no name that exits out of Jurassic Park while Space Station trying to take this fight.
02:56:13 Space Station, they're obviously further up in the standings and should be okay regardless. Tempa, we also talked about them being one of those teams that had to get the first place finished. Now all of a sudden, you know, what's their thought process going to be when that incentive is being taken away from them?
02:56:33 Wenn du die Pressure hast, hier zu Spacesation sitzt in 4th place mit 34 points. Aber wie wir hier haben, ist es ein ganzes Wettbewerb zwischen den Rest der Lobbien und NRG. Die Falcons ist nicht present. Sie werden das Klinik auf dem Tempher kommen. Auf dem Tempher haben wir zwei Mitglieden, mit dem Tempher zu leben. Aber hier kommt ein 3er-Partner in Flap.
02:56:54 Okay. Teams, if they need KP, they're just gonna have their ears attuned. Any shots that they hear ring out, they'll be making a beeline straight for that location. They have to come and grab as many as they can, especially for a team like Flat. They're currently sitting in 18th spot. They want to improve that position, and they're gonna get involved in this.
02:57:19 Okay, got to give him A for effort. We're trying out the Revenant here. Trying to make the magic happen as Liquid Alienware, a team that everybody had in their sights here too. Yanya with the Hitfire shots. Lovely follow-up from Hawatis being able to get Mamba knocked. Going to be able to try to get the Resic here with the Shield Bat. You can see Liquid Alienware healing from right down below. But while this action has not stopped over by this south side, you can only imagine who's around here. It's going to be an isolated fight. They don't have to worry about a third party. Instead, just trying to clean this up before they rotate into that circle.
02:57:52 Das ist die Geri-Taktik von Rick and Morty? Ich habe mich einfach aufhören und es funktioniert!
02:58:06 Oh man, you got a C here to deal with. The Anti-Ratstrat comes through for Liquid. Talk about repositioning though from flat. We're now taking two different angles at shooting at Liquid. The reason why we're seeing this isolated fight happen too by the south side and why you don't see these squads by the north side really get involved yet is because there is a ring console here. So these teams not only fighting for that information, but also if they see some easy third-party opportunity, you know they're going to capitalize. And I'm thinking LG.
02:58:36 Oh, these teams have just taken the longest time to get this fight over and done with. Billy Joel's singing in the background here as LG pull up and say, well, you guys are a bit silly. Don't know why you're sitting in zone taking this fight, but that's going to make it really easy for us while we sit on this hill and pick you apart.
02:59:04 Oh, they know, they're healing up here too, just waiting in the distance on the other side of this hill. As they creep up, they know the ring console is right there. They're looking at Liquid before the 3-2-1 comes in here for Funk to follow up with Sweet. They don't get the knock right away, but they know that they're feeling the pressure since they're still taking that slight little tick damage that the circle provides, but it is that first ring.
02:59:28 Yeah, the damage isn't too worrisome from the ring itself, but if you get into a spot where you start struggling, it can be a little harder. You can see Nano just pulling off the med kit there. There's still another team in the area, by the way. Liquid and flat are still there. It's not like they're just sitting here, healing up by themselves and trying to wait LG out.
02:59:55 The fight technically is kinda still on.
03:00:26 Yep, you can see they've got that scanned as well, the information very much well aware here as Reps decides to go for the reckless upgrade there. Level 3 for TSM. They are directly in the middle, they've got everything to play for here TSM.
03:00:48 Very much towards the top of the standings. It's crazy to think how far ahead Team Falcons are, maybe even SSG, when looking at how TSM's gone. And it's kind of hard to think that this is actually the team that's sitting third in the standings right now. We really are having one of those stare-offs here. Oh, he wants it. Waiting for it. Post it up. No! Rampage moment.
03:01:15 Man, das ist absolut 100% consistent.
03:01:43 Das ist meine Erfahrung mit dem Rampage jeden Tag, man. Die Crosshair ist direkt auf dem und die Bullets einfach nur zu Narnia. Ich hab mit dem Rampage. Ich hab mit dem Rampage.
03:01:59 I love that weapon, especially when you have it charged up and you know someone who wants to hide behind the door, so you blast the doors open with the charge up Rampage. But anyways, not something we obviously see within the weapon compositions and the meta that we've been witnessing with the Havoc, that even with that slight nerf, you know, obviously being utilized as the most consistent weapon alongside the Hemlock. Talk about also other squads now rotating in this direction of the circle. LG holding that command center side over on the north side of Jurassic Park.
03:02:28 But Elevate and Board, on the distance, now noting that they're gonna have to be moving closer into that circle. Yeah, they are trying to hold out on that western edge here, Vicky. But Moist? Well, you know, just it's Timmy, I suppose. And then LG are also in the vicinity. I'm kind of pulling away from each other at the moment. And pulling away from Yup in those buildings, who is... We do see most teams split hold.
03:02:58 Wenn sie in die zwei bestimmte Gebäude sind. Es ist eine Zone 5, Zone 6-er Situation, wo alle aufhörteren sind. Ja, Sie sind nicht mit jemanden mit jemanden, als Sie sehen. Ja, Sie sind zurück und zurück zwischen den beiden. Even Not Moy ist still alive mit Timmy. Just holding on to the sliver of hope. To get some extra points on the board for this squad. Incredibly important here.
03:03:27 Saying that they were one of the teams that could have been at risk of being on that cusp. They were sitting in 10th place before today on top of C9 and NRG. Wanting to be able to put any extra points here since they are right now behind NRG in second place with 38 points. But we know, Genome, that that gap between all these other squads is not very big. It's like a two-point difference between a lot of our other teams here. C9 holding the south side, trying to gatekeep Weave.
03:03:55 C9, they were the ones probably most at risk at this point of falling out of that top 12, Vicky. NRG have, I would say, almost certainly done enough, even though they were 12th position coming into today with a stellar, you know, couple of wins there, but C9, not so much. So, you know, do they have to worry about Oblivion or Elevate? I guess those guys haven't done all that much. Maybe it's a team like Fluffy Amers, if they can pull off.
03:04:23 A game similar to game 1 here. Maybe they start to leak frog. C9 with these Hemlock shots gets the knock and throws out the bang ult to be the nail in the coffin as KCP actually just may do that for them as they wrap up right behind Carter. C9 having to reposition here in the distance. So many other teams in the south side because Liquid are also currently looking at them and actually may wrap around behind C9 to sandwich them. Ooh yeah that would be...
03:04:51 Very rough timing for C9. I wonder if they're aware of this threat. None of them currently looking in that direction. They're just heading away from the Pioneers. Okay, they're getting settled now. Can they dodge the nades? This is looking very chaotic, as it were. Everybody look at me. The exhibit is up.
03:05:13 KCP had gotten that knock originally onto Chaotic, and Stay Naughty got knocked by the Rolling Thunder, although Liquid have not moved anywhere. If anything, they're now currently focusing on this third party, and LG distracts them, pulls away their attention, because while this fight is currently happening, Furia have now come in for the fourth party behind C9.
03:05:34 Und C9. Ich weiß nicht, wie lange sie werden können hier stehen. Ich denke, sie sind fertig. Furia ist für ein paar weitere Punkte. Es ist ein ruhiger Tag für sie, aber ein Stellar-Split overall.
03:06:00 Mit den Zip-Lanz, das sie gemacht hat, so dass sie die High-Ground hier können. Timmy ist noch in der Distance, wie crazy als Elevator. Also meet der Maker. Jupp, mit nur Ossivien left, Alive. Looking at the action happening right in front of him in this Exhibit. Bord ist auf der anderen Seite, hier, mit Jupp. Aber ich sehe, Ossivien kann das Reset auf den Rez. Eleven Squads left. Ich würde nicht be surprised, wenn das Spiel endet eher als usual.
03:06:29 Considering that we know, like, yeah, there's all these teams that just have to be hunting for kills. They know that's, you know, perhaps their only way to move up a slot in the Pro League standings. Maybe to make it to land, so...
03:06:42 Team definitely going at it right here, and Furia finally putting the pedal to the metal. Well, losing out on Madness right now. No shield swaps, it looks like, for Vax, as he's going to be forced to pop the shield back, but in the line of sight of NRG, looking to not only hold a split positioning on the right side of this map, but they're in the circle, rather, but now they also are looking to clean up what is left of this fight beyond Keon.
03:07:07 Kion just chucks up an 07 and says, thanks Nock for the nade there. Couldn't quite get him behind the knockdown shields. Appreciate that one. After that, maybe even gets back in for the reses. No one's really looking this way. NRG, I think they got the team wipe and were like, well, that's our job done. Just another day at work here. Clean up on 07. As Fury are going to be able to try to also get what they need. They're on the edge of the circle. Unfortunately for them, they cannot get Vaxxed, but they can at least get his banner.
03:07:36 We saw exactly where NRG was positioned, though, and since they have the high ground, they aren't going to fully overcommit to prevent Bleed from wrapping up behind them, because Bleed is on that northern building that leads to the Zips, but they're looking at all this action happening here as the Catwall has been brought up, and Bored involved on the west side of the Circle are right in front of TSM.
03:07:56 They've got a good spot to try and deal some damage to Yup here. And they do. Yup goes down. And now they turn their sights, their attentions to TSM. Oh, we're taking some rough cross map shots there. I think that was LG. But yeah, you can see Zapto actually managing to get the fin with their hemlock.
03:08:20 On the KP here, TSM holding both of these buildings. You see TSM denying that from board as we take a look at NRG who are also staring at Bleed. Let's jump into a listening with NRG as they focus down on Bleed Esports. If they get in, we might want to in left, bro. Okay, down, down. Call it then. Call it up. Yeah, yeah. I mean, they're on the front cannon right now. They just die. Top five. The rest still got respawn. Okay. But I think they... It's all three minutes. Yep.
03:08:51 Can I walk up on this? Yeah, they're coming back to their gen. They're coming back. Okay. See what's on the outside? Nevermind.
03:09:08 We can play for it on their wall! So many arcs. Oh, that dead slide. They're coming over now. Yeah, they're sliding your way.
03:09:32 Well, Nocturnal tries to get out on his own as they lose the fight against Bleed Esports here. But look, it's job done for NRG at this point. So, you know, you're not hearing a particularly high amount of frustration out of them there. It's been a rough start to the year, but they're looking to bring it back here and give themselves a chance at redemption when we get to Mannheim.
03:09:59 All right, the day that it matters the most, and they really did show up with 74 points. They're still alive right now with Noct playing this out as a solo. TSM, again, still holding both of these buildings together at the same time, but they had to give up that other building to board. Sharing his space with Bleed currently. They wrap up on the other side. Nice angle for Reps. He gets the crack, but does not want to overextend.
03:10:24 Smart player like that. TSM have held onto this building for pretty much the whole game by being patient. You can see they're pinging across the walkway there, border across from them. You've got Nocturnal underneath, Bleed on top, and then it's Furia hiding behind the rocks on the other side. Actually, probably in the best spot out of all of these teams, so...
03:10:51 A couple of good fights from them early on, and they're going to look to close this one out.
03:10:57 Borde looking through the holes of this cat barrier, right through the doorway. Borde looking to see if they can catch TSM. Borde also on the other side of this building for this final circle starts closing in. Borde have the high ground here. This is a great opportunity for Borde to get all the extra points that they also need. Bojack in hand of Nott. Nice angle here, but doesn't get that last shot, but still gets to crack with the Havoc. They cannot give up this high ground since they're also looking behind them at Borde.
03:11:26 And he does manage to catch Knock. Out of position there. So that's going to be NRG's day done. Job done also. Eight kills currently for Bleed Esports. Nice little pick up there. Can they get the win as well?
03:11:46 Seeing as Furia are out of the fray. In a great spot to not get pinched here. Circle closing in. TSM holding the other angle to prevent Bleed or Bord from maybe trying to creep their way up. Playing on the outskirts of the Circle, you can see the Knuckle Cluster just dealing just enough pressure from Reps.
03:12:06 Okay, you see quite a few nades in the inventory there of madness.
03:12:27 Und als das Circle empfiehlt die Team aus der Sicherheit der Pylon, jetzt ist die Zeit, um sie zu lassen sie zu ripen. Ein Team mit einem Modell-Load-Available ist, um die E-Bank-Tower zu starten, um das auf die E-Bank-Tower zu machen. Aber ihr müsst, dass ein Sier-Q in dieser Situation ist so impactvoll, als es die Team aus aus der Abilität zu locken.
03:12:53 Hold on, TSM actually, did they just move themselves up to 2nd place with that?
03:13:25 Look, that's what I saw on the top bar. I'm just reading the screen, Vicky. They had 10 KP. They had 10 KP and they got the placement points and getting second place on top of the 10 KP out here. Absolutely got to see how that plays out because it was not Moist, I believe, that was sitting in that second place spot behind an RG. Of course, we don't...
03:13:44 We're not adding Team Falcons into the equation for a final game like this. But if anybody was wondering, once again, to reiterate, playing out that last game is incredibly important because we're playing to see which teams have finally solidified their ticket into split two playoffs, as well as for monetary gain. Monetary gain. Yeah, isn't that why we're all here? I don't know about you. I'm here for the passion, Vicky.
03:14:08 Ja, Passion Uwe, das ist eine andere Region. Okay, Genome? Sie haben es auch gemacht, aber wir bringen in Reignen, um die Reignen zu bringen, um die Aktion für das letzte Spiel. Reignen, Thuria, sie nehmen die DUB, 12 extra points, auf dem einen schönen Sprinkl des KP. Ich meine, das ist unglaublich. Es ist genauso wie Genome's Philanthropic giving away of his monetary gain for doing these shows. Ich bin so...
03:14:31 Das ist so ein tolles Wettbewerb. Ich hatte keine Ahnung, dass ich das mit Passion hatte. Ich werde das jetzt machen. Und ich hoffe, dass alle von Ihnen das lernen können. Habt ihr gehört, man? Die Leute haben versucht, das zu eSport talenten, für Jahre. Ja, ihr solltet auf Passion sein. Ich weiß nicht, was Passion tastes wie, aber ich weiß nicht, ob ich es werde. Was ein Spiel. Was ein Moment, was ein Moment.
03:14:57 Really going back to Game 5, this was more of, it felt like, yes, we had to do this to get the actual results done. But it's rare. We've actually never done this on broadcast where we've played that six games. So this is new for us as well. I'm sure it's new for you watching. But now we have our seeds. And what could have happened there is a team getting to match point. The thing is, though, because Falcons won it in five, it did stop us. It put a limit.
03:15:20 auf einem Team wie Jupp, oder einem Team wie FluffyAimers, die vielleicht vielleicht haben einen Match Point, vielleicht hätte das Chance, aber nicht so schnell zu machen. Und so, um 7, 8, 9 Placement Points zu werden, wird nur 6 gespielt werden. Vickie, als wir sehen, Top 10 hier sehen, FURIA hat den Win, TSM neben ihm mit Bleed Esports. Wir sind auch mit 10, mit Falcons.
03:15:48 Ich weiß nicht, ob es genug ist.
03:16:01 Yeah, well, when we see a game like that, you could see probably teams go for some weird strategies, like inting as if it's their own pub games, and trying out something else to maybe farm KP, because KP obviously a guaranteed point. But it is about placement at the end of the day that secures all that extra points that you want to work with, especially if you're a team like C9 waiting on the cusp of his top 12.
03:16:26 Es ist alles gut, die Spieler haben, aber es ist auch Geld für ihre Positionen in der Pro-League spielen. So in terms of die Serie hier, heute ist es eine Matchday-Win für Falcons. Es ist eine Overall-Regionale-Finals-Win für Falcons. Es ist 2nd place für NRG. Es ist 3rd place für TSM und 4th für Not Moyes. 5th für LG Genome.
03:16:49 Right on expectations. Can we just take a moment here to appreciate that they didn't even play out the sixth game and they still had four points than everybody else? Yeah. Yeah, they didn't miss me as well. Falcons, you heard of them? They're pretty good. They know what they're doing out here. And a lot of these other teams, I think they did enough complexity and team that I was a little worried about in the beginning.
03:17:12 Because if they dropped, dropped, dropped, it could have been a couple of teams jumping them. Temper, Flat, Weave. These were teams, Fluffy Ammers, who needed a big match point win or a second place, third place. Didn't happen. Our top 10 on the left side is essentially our top 10 heading into the overall Mannheim-Germany playoffs. But who will make it officially? Let's find out right now as your teams for North America are set for Mannheim, your top 10.
03:17:39 TSM, Furia, LG, SSG, Bleed Esports, Liquid Alienware, NRG, Not Moist, Complexity, and of course Team Falcons leading the charge with a win in Match Point Finals. But our next two, maybe the two that we were thinking about on our next page, it's Pioneers.
03:18:02 Und Cloud9, es scheint es zu nahe, Vic. Ich hörte die gasp. Aber wirklich, sie hatten viel Platz zwischen Oblivion und der nächste Challenge. Sie sind. Ich war noch auf der Seite, weil ich noch auf der Kuss war, dass sie auf den Kuss gemacht haben. Und sie haben noch mehr gemacht. Sie haben noch mehr Geld. Sie haben noch mehr Geld für die letzte Team in Nord-Amerika zu qualifizieren. Und look at das. Gino, wir wünschen wieder.
03:18:30 für die Cybercaps-Treatment, die moment, dass ein Team, die aus unserer Qualifikation ist, vielleicht gewinnen die Match Point Finals und machen es. Es ist einfach eine der hardeste Dinge zu machen. Consistency ist eine reale Sache in Apex Legends, und es fühlt sich nicht in der Battle Royale sein, aber wir haben eine unglaubliche Leistung für unsere League.
03:18:48 Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it's just because I'm into fluffy things, but I was certainly cheering for both CyberCats and the fluffy aimers here. I don't know, maybe I just wanted to say hashtag get fluffy more at LAN, something like that. But yeah, sadly, they don't make it through.
03:19:05 Well, you know, obviously a lot of teams, their stories end today. It's one of the sad parts about it. As we look at tweets saying, looking for team, that might be the end of my journey. I'll see you when I see you. A lot of unknowns for some of these players who haven't made it to Germany. But those who have, well, we know the exact next step.
03:19:22 If you're just joining us though, Falcons with the win, let's run back the games that happened before and after to result in that W. Vicky, Game 4, it would set it up and it would be NRG continuing to look like, well, there's maybe a chance, but maybe not Moist, having their wake-up call at this point too to threaten. Yeah, not Moist, to remind everybody, aside from the thunderstorms, they still will do their best to prevail through it all. And, you know, starting a little rough there and still being able to secure the W.
03:19:52 auf dem Nrg zu vollen Dive und Ape Liquid in diesem Fall, aber das ist auch eine Möglichkeit für Not Moist zu nehmen, um die Zeit zu verwenden und zu nehmen, um Nrg zu nehmen. Look at das in der Distance zwischen Waltyn, der noch nicht mehr zu bekommen, aber das war ein sehr großes...
03:20:13 von Nott Moist, weil ich glaube, das war das Spiel, dass sie 12-K-Key haben. Das ist das, was sie in 3rd-Place sette. Ja, hinter NRG, aber noch ein Highlighter-Konsistency von NRG, auch. Heading into Game 5, das ist das, was wir mit Tiff und Tiff haben. Das ist es.
03:20:30 Falcons würde es nehmen. Es war, wie du gesagt, NRG hatte eine Chance, aber sie wurden verloren. Der Chaos war inevitable in einer Zone wie dieser, und Falcons hat sich einfach für ein Erfolg. Das ist eine der Dinge, die so consistent sind, in Matchpoint.
03:20:44 Ja, es könnte. Es könnte.
03:21:14 These guys still have passion after winning everything. But Gino, walk us through that final game that would secure the positions for Lamp. Yeah, well, this one was once again the story of a team who's got a lot of space in the final circle. Furia, it had a pretty decent game here. And as you can see, a lot of the ordnance from both sides coming through. But then as Bleed get forced off, you can see they get caught.
03:21:39 in that focus of attention, and that makes it really hard as they drop down here. You can see that means the smokes go out super late. They turn around to try and focus on TSM, who's behind them, and the beneficiaries of that are going to be Fury Up and come away with the win.
ImperialHal als MVP und die Dominanz der Falcons
03:21:57
03:21:57 And as you can take a look at the kill leaders, I mean, across the board, Falcons are your top three kill leaders. Jen Burton's last kill in that last game five just pushed him ahead of Sweet and Verhulz, who were tied at 72. But Imperial, Hal Zero, and Jen Burton and all of Team Falcons will be your top three kill leaders as well, albeit Hal will win this entire season.
03:22:23 Ich habe ein paar Kills gemacht. Was ist das 15? At least. Es ist so schwer zu machen. So viele Dinge können passieren. Das kann passieren. Das kann passieren. Das kann passieren.
03:22:47 Yeah, he just, the ideal shackles have been broken. I can do what I want and frag out the way I want. And you can even hear in their comms the way he takes some of those fights. Actually insane to see how heavy he topped the number one spot for overall kill leader over the course of this split two season.
03:23:04 It's an amazing journey that they've been on. It still continues. And that obviously leads us to our MVP for today. Our final day, our regional finals in Split 2. It is none other than the CEO himself. I think he still gets the title after this one. Imperial Howl.
03:23:22 von Team Falcons. Der Mann led in Kills heute. Impressive. Over Jim Burton und Reps, die 2nd und 3rd sind. Er led in assists, als auch. Over Jim Burton und Zero, mit 16 in den Team. Aber die andere, die er led in, war Damage. Von 1,600 über die nächste Person. Das war eine Fun-FPS, eigentlich. Es war eine Dominator-Ferformanz. Und wie du gesagt hast, Shackles removed von IGL. Was das mit einem Spieler so großartig?
03:23:51 Und jetzt haben wir weniger Verantwortung und mehr Freiheit. Es bedeutet etwas wie das. Ein Top-Kill-Leader in Nord-America. Die höchste Kills, ich glaube, dass wir in A&Mia gesehen haben. Aber wenn man sieht es, ist es ein Spieler, der so viel Erfahrung und so viel Erfahrung hat. Und wenn sie das gut spielen können, was kann sie stoppen? Es fühlt sich nur selbst. ImperialHal, die MVP für die Region Finale. Und congratulations zu ihm und der Squad.
03:24:20 The dub. Very risky as well. I always say it is a bit risky giving up what you had. Not many people would leave a cushy spot like TSM after all they had done. But he did it. 18 kills, 16 assists, 8k damage. Big shout out to Imperial. Out.
03:24:36 Ja, es ist. Ich meine...
03:24:58 We talked to him earlier in the split, actually, and one of the things he said was he's just so competitive that even within the team, he's competing against Jen Burton, he's competing against Zero to get the most damage and the most kills, and that has obviously pushed him to the point where, yeah, he's really doing that. He's fragging out for the team, and even against those other two players, he has outstripped them here in split two.
03:25:24 Well, we have a chance to sometimes get a great POV on broadcast, but someone who has a better POV of the ins and outs of what this team is like and what it took to get here is going to speak with us now. We've got the coach for Team Falcon ZZ joining us here on broadcast. Nick, welcome. Thank you so much for spending some time with us today. Congratulations on the Falcons win.
03:25:48 Thank you. I mean, look, I got snubbed last time. They said they didn't want to talk to a coach, so I just put in the chat it was going to be me today. I wasn't having anything else. I got robbed last time. It couldn't have been me. I always love talking to coaches. And, you know, at the end of the day, here's the reason why. You have such a unique perspective on the dynamics of Hal and Zero Engine Burton. So talk to people.
03:26:15 And let us know what we might not know about the journey that has taken place behind the scenes to get to this moment. Because many people see Super Team, they see the win, and they think that's it. That's all that goes into it. But there's so much more that goes on behind the scenes to get these types of results. Yeah, I mean, look, this was obviously not just going to be a plug and play. Hal has been doing what he's doing for years, been one of the top IGLs in the game. And this is not...
03:26:41 Ich glaube, es ist nicht einfach ein Wunsch für jemanden, egal wie gut sie sind auf Apex. Jeder hat sich natürlich auf verschiedene Räume zu adjustieren. Jhin hat sich immer wieder auf Anker und Frag und andere Räume zu spielen, zwischen Sykes und jetzt Hal. Er hat sich viele Veränderungen gemacht. Und Zero hat sich natürlich auch ein paar Veränderungen gemacht. Er ist IGL-ing jemanden, der er nicht verwendet ist. Das ist nicht jemanden, der du einfach nur in den Platz kannst und sagen, hier, go perform. Das ist die Situation du hast.
03:27:09 Ich denke, Hau hat sich ein sehr glückliches Job verändert, wie er spielt und wirklich verändert hat, wie er die Spiel in generell ist, um ein Teil zu sein. Wir sind sehr glücklich mit ihm und haben jemanden so willig zu setzen, um ihre persönliche selbst für die Sache zu gewinnen.
03:27:26 You highlight the personal strengths of why this team is considered a super team. Each of these individual players that have a strength that you don't really see anywhere else within North America or even the other regions. That's why they're so dominating. But talking about these strong personalities, have you had to navigate through any difficulties of not only having to readjust to these new roles, looking at your players, but having to navigate through maybe conversations that may be uncomfortable to help a lot of these players figure out what they need to do differently?
03:27:55 für die nächste Spiel, wie wenn ihr in 6th Platz habt für die letzte Matchday-Final? Ich meine, look, diese sind Leute, die haben ein starkes Belief in sich, zu sagen. Und, um... Ich werde nicht sagen, dass alles immer smooth-sailing ist, wie sie immer zusammenkommen sind. Es sind sehr kompetitive Leute. Wenn sie haben ihre... ihre Headset auf was sie was richtig, was richtig. Aber, um...
03:28:24 Like I said in my response to the last question, these are three people who really want to win. And at the end of the day, they're not going to let something like that get in between them and the ultimate goal. Even if there are bumps along the way, each and every one of them is trying to improve, trying to learn, trying to get better as a team every single time we play, regardless of how each individual game goes. So long as their heads stay on top of, you know, I want to get better, I want to improve, I want to keep breaking every record we can.
03:28:53 Ich denke, dass wir die beste Team werden können. Ich denke, dass ich keine Probleme habe. Ich denke, dass sie ihre eigene Mindset haben, es wird auch gut sein.
03:29:04 Das ist toll, Nick, und es ist toll, dass du hier bist, weil wir wissen, dass als ein Team das so gut ist, es nicht nur die Spieler. Obviamente, sie haben sich eine große Unterstützung, mit dir und Privacy, als auch, helping aus behind den Spielen. Ich möchte ein bisschen über wie du über die neuen Meta und entscheiden auf Legends. Du war alluding zu es ein bisschen vor, weil ich in Skrims, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war, du war,
03:29:33 your teams had to be to try and navigate that so how did you end up on the legends and the roles that you ended up with today that obviously you'd have to say was the right choice because you won it in 5 mate I mean look speak as candidly as possible I thought Hal was going to be a lot better at Seer and I thought Jyn was going to be a lot worse at Seer but it turns out Hal's pretty good at Fuse and Jyn's pretty good at Seer and
03:30:02 Wenn man eine Reihe auf den besten drei Charaktionen kann, ist das so, wie man sie zusammenkommt. Ich meine, jemanden, dass die Schrims, nicht so viel auf Match Days, aber nur auf die Schrims, dass es definitiv ein Trial- und Error-Prozess ist. Ich meine, nichts wirklich funktioniert das erste Mal. Aber die beste Sache ist, dass man den idealen Scenario, den idealen Bildern kann, und dann was wir haben, was wir haben. Und Leute haben versucht, es hat sich nicht so konsistiert.
03:30:30 Ich wünsche wir einfach nur, bang, bang, bang, jeder hat ihre Charakter, jeder spielt das einfach, aber es ist das einfach. Aber es gibt viele inconsistencies, und manchmal muss man sich zu arbeiten, man muss man sich verlieren, man muss man sich verlieren, und manchmal muss man sich verlieren, man muss man sich verlieren. Und die einzige Sache ist, dass man die richtige Antwort für die große Zeit ist, Lands und Regional Finals. Und ich denke, wir haben unsere Antwort, für die Zeit.
03:30:56 Well, it's been a wave that has crashed over the ALGS ever since this announcement was made. This team was built for the one reason, and that is to win. And you guys have.
03:31:07 So the only thing next is the journey to Mannheim. Germany coming up very, very soon. We know that you'll be expecting first place, no less, this time with the international community also going back, seeing if APAC North can lift another title or at least challenge for one. It's looking good for you guys, though, as well, Nick. Thank you for taking the time with us. Congratulations on the win. We won't keep you any longer, but good luck as you guys prepare for Mannheim coming up pretty soon. Absolutely. I appreciate it. I appreciate you guys having me.
03:31:36 All right, thank you, Nick, coach of Team Falcons. And as we say goodbye to Nick, we'll say hello to Tiff, who is back here as we hear him with our, you know, Rain Days friends, our fun cast today. It's always a pleasure working with you guys. And you know what? At the end of the day, we got to give you our final thoughts because you know what? This is the last time we're all going to be online before you all see us in Germany. So I'll start with you, Tiff, and we'll go around the horn. Final thoughts on today.
03:32:05 And your impressions before we let you go and we see you in Germany. Yeah, of course. Overall, it's been one heck of a day, right? We kicked things off with EMEA that went the distance and then we moved on over to North America where the Falcons ended it in five, which is kind of crazy. And then we get to keep on going. The teams that have secured themselves a ticket in Germany, can't wait to see you there. Can't wait to root for you guys. And hopefully, hopefully, hopefully we get a really crazy experience online and I can't wait to see it.
03:32:33 Well, Tiff, you've been phenomenal today. Thank you so much. It's fun always on a broadcast with you, and we had a lot of fun today as well. We will see you soon. Genome, you joined us here. It was quick. It was in and out. You know, it's a long flight if you're going to do this live. Luckily, this was the online portion. When we see you in Germany, we'll have a lot more time together. But your takeaways after a great day of EMEA and North America action.
03:32:56 Ja, look, the first nine games in EMEA were fascinating. They were really exciting. And then we moved over to North America, and it was a very different scenario. And I think when we go into LAN in Germany, into Mannheim, you know, we've heard people say that...
03:33:14 Occasionally. The Pro League in North America is harder than at LAN. And it's because of the predictability of it. But I can assure you that the Falcons are not going to walk away.
03:33:27 in five games in LAN. I'm putting my bet on that right now, because those lobbies are always harder to navigate, and it's just going to be so much fun to watch and see if this team is really that good when you put all the other best teams, when you put Fnatic against them, when you put Alliance against them. Is it going to be the same story? We'll have to wait and see.
03:33:52 Great tease. APAC represent. They are our defending champions, albeit it's APAC North, so Genome, don't get too excited just yet. But hey, I mean, APAC North has done a lot in North America, too. We could count two of them with Dark Zero. But thank you, man. It's going to be a great one. Vicky, I'll finish with you.
03:34:11 So much fun. From last week, joining us late on the broadcast, cutting through Miami traffic, and now obviously we're ending it here in EMEA in North America with our regional finals. It's set up a real amazing show that's going to be happening in Germany.
03:34:23 We know that these individual...
03:34:53 These performers out here, these players, they are no stranger to the competition in person here too. So you have to keep that composure and I cannot wait to see how that fares off against the competition from all around the world. I can't wait to see you guys there. And we can't wait to have you as well. And the fans, we cannot wait to have you as well. We're going to say goodbye to our lovely casters and crew for now. Thank you guys so much. We will see you.
03:35:18 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
03:35:47 Du kannst uns für eine historische Runde. APAC North versuchen zu defendern. Aber RejectWinity wird nicht da sein. So will ein neues Team in der Region take control? APAC South
03:36:00 Show us another superstar, one that hasn't moved to North America already. Or will Team Falcons do what everyone has hoped or not hoped that they would do, which is say they're going to win and then win at the end of the day. It's a testament to the hard work that players who have hoisted the trophy more than anyone else in the world ever in Apex Legends are still working just as hard to do it again. I don't know what that says about competition. I don't know if that inspires you or motivates you, but it certainly tells me that there's always a little bit more
03:36:29 Das ist immer ein bisschen mehr we all can work. Und es ist immer ein bisschen mehr we all can do. Wir können unsere Leben ein bisschen anders, wenn wir nicht wie sie sind.
03:36:38 We love you and we appreciate you. My name is Rain Day and as always, remember to never give up, never stop gaming and we
03:37:08 We will see you all in Mannheim!
