Einführung in die ALGS Year 4 Pro League Qualifiers APAC-South Finals
00:00:15
00:00:15 To the Pro League Qualifiers, this is the finals. We'll be covering everything Apex Legends action in Apex South. My name is Lace. You've probably seen me before chatting stuff on this long shot production. We're here to bring you all the hype and the passion from this region. Now to introduce the ones who bring the game alive. Of course, the world-renowned Genome. It's nice to see you back here. And I'm going to say the best yapper in the business, Dax, is back.
00:00:42 Und wir haben ein paar zusätzliche Gäste für euch heute. Aber Dax, es ist so schön zu haben Sie hier mit uns heute. Ich weiß, dass ich mich und alle auf Hause ist, dass ich deine Passion heute in den PLQ-Finals bin. Aber wie fühlst du heute in den heutigen Matches?
00:00:57 First of all, I am blessed to be on this panel yet again. I am with, I'd say, incredible players of Apex. I know you guys went to a LAN recently. I know Gino even made it to the top two. Lace had her top five team as well. You guys know what I'm talking about. It was super, super good. But yeah, Gino, of course, he's going to be going to the playoffs very, very soon. But for now, Apex out. So excited because the past few days have been so incredible here.
00:01:23 Ja, genau. Und ich gehe zu Dax. Ich gehe zu Overseas, also. Ich werde in der Beobachtung und Genome sein. Ich habe Genome auf meinem Beobachtung. Genome, du hast so viel in der Apex-South Region. Und ich werde sagen, ich werde ich Ihnen genau sagen. Aber wie sind Sie, ich würde sagen, zu sehen, etwas Fresh Meat spielen heute?
00:01:49 Oh, yeah, absolutely, right? I mean, this is essentially where our Split 2 is starting. We're sort of jumping the gun a little bit, right? Because obviously we have to go and finish off Split 1 at the Split 1 playoffs in LA. Hope you guys will be either joining us there or tuning in for that. It's going to be a lot of fun, like always. But yeah, this is kind of the start of Split 2 in a way, right? Because obviously we've got the 22 teams who placed 1 to 22 that will be joining us from Split 1. But then we've got these 8 other teams that will be decided.
00:02:18 Vielen Dank.
00:02:48 But, you know, our region always sees the show as what they are made of. And I know we're kind of rearing and ready to go. We're going to touch on a little bit how this format works. It's a bit of a brain teaser, I think, guys. Like, I was having a look at this, and I'm like, there are just so many different rounds here. But, like, to make it as simple enough for you guys. So we've had Challenger Circuit. Our top two teams from that moved on to Winners Round 2. Like I just touched on before, our Pro League teams, bottom eight teams, actually got to go to Round 2, I believe, Genome.
00:03:17 We've had Challenger Circuit teams. Teams 3 through to 22 would have played in the winners' first round. So we've got a lot happening now, Gino. Yeah, so essentially the first three rounds here that you see, winners 1, winners 2, and the elimination bracket, they all happened throughout the rest of the weekend. Today...
00:03:39 We have whittled these top 30 teams that you see here, all from the Challenger Circuit and from Pro League down into the top 20. And, you know, there's a couple of surprises in there, right? Like not all of the Pro League teams made it through. And now we are in the final round.
00:03:56 Es wird ein Matchpoint-Series geben, wo wir die Top 20-Teams sehen, und wie Sie sehen, die Top 10 von Winners-Round 2 kommen werden mit ein paar Advanced-Standig-Points gehen.
00:04:09 Yeah, exactly right. And, you know, we'll get into everything a little bit later on there. But, yeah, we're at the finals today. So we've reached the end of this. So, you know, we're going to see some teams battle it out and get it there. But we have ourselves a special little guest today. This is someone special that's been covering all things Pro League qualifiers. So let's bring over Rexu. Rexu!
00:04:33 So lovely to have you here today. I know that you've been in and amongst everything qualifiers. You probably got the best knowledge out of all of us, I'd say, going into this. But you know, how excited are you for these teams to put on a good show for us today? I'm really excited. As I saw in the past few days of doing the Pro League qualifiers, a lot of these teams have been...
00:04:58 I wouldn't say consistent, but they are powerful. You can see some of them pop up in some brackets such as Monkey King. They were doing really well in the elimination round and I am keen to see them perform even better.
00:05:14 Yeah, exactly right. So, you know, we've got some new teams coming in. You've obviously got the best knowledge. We're going to touch on a few things a little bit later. I want to pick your brain definitely about what's going on here. But, Rexy, when we have a look at this and we see our teams here today, take us through a little bit of what you've seen. You know, we've got Cold in Hell sitting at the top there. I did see, you know, that they got a few first places. They've been performing extremely well.
00:05:42 Ja, genau. Aber ja, diese sind die Teams wir hier haben. Wir haben die Winner's Brown Racket 2 auch. Barbecue sind absolut dominierend. Ich weiß, dass wir sie sehen, dass sie sich in die Events haben.
00:06:09 um starting points which is uh moving into the match point format we have today it gives them a nice little head start rexu um and then you know cold and hell um doing incredible as well in that there but um yeah we would just want to power through this and have a look and get ourselves organized and started today um but rex so i guess uh taking a look at like these sorts of things um going into uh you know talking about meta and stuff like that
00:06:35 We had a little chat in the green room before. How are you feeling about these teams going in with a brand new meta? I know we had a talk about it. We talked about their compositions. And I've been seeing a couple of Lifelines in there. Why don't you take us through some of these team compositions they've been playing? I think Lifeline is definitely helping these Apex Out teams play even more aggressively. As you can see that most Apex Out teams prefer to do a bit more...
00:07:04 Ja, genau. Ja, Jax, wie du fühlst mit dem Fulsen?
00:07:32 Look, look, look. The first time I was on ALGS, I was kind of questioning people playing things like Pathfinder, playing something like Revenant. But it's crazy to think there is high aggression, full send, and some of the best fights we've seen in the qualifiers so far have become...
00:07:47 ...are because of these very aggressive teams. Exactly. Well, Rexy, thank you for your insight. Dax, Genome, I think it's time. We're going to head on into our first match. I believe we're heading over to World's Edge. Our teams are just sitting there waiting to go. This is the finals. I'm so excited for you guys to be able to cast this. And let's head into it.
Erstes Match auf World's Edge: Frühe Kämpfe und Teamzusammensetzungen
00:08:06
00:08:06 We are getting started. Thank you, thank you so much to Lace, as well as Rexu for hopping into the panel, giving some insights over the past few days, because this is where it begins again. How many matches are we gonna go? It is a match point format, GML, and we are starting things off on World's Edge immediately. We see a bit of contact at Loki's team on one side. Great Fanta versus Luna, Tickle, and Booba getting ready here.
00:08:31 Ja, wir eigentlich nicht erwartet, das Contest zu kommen ist. Wir haben keine Pegg-Down in den Dropspots hier für World's Edge. Aber es sieht aus, dass wir jetzt ein bisschen action werden. Ja, Grapefanta bereits in Kontakt mit Niko, auf dem floor. Und BLT macht Grapefanta mit absoluten Aggression. Immediately, Collapse, die nur noch stehen, hat Lombot zu arbeiten.
00:08:57 Oh man, pick up the gold RA-45 as well. In terms of weapons you could have when you know you're doing white armor contests, that one will come in pretty handy, but you can see...
00:09:25 Settel Headshot to finish off there. I think we have to give extra props here to BLT, right? Because they were playing Bangblood, Caustic, pretty standard composition at this point. Whereas the team that was contesting them and, you know, as we said, we weren't sure whether that was going to happen. They were playing Conduit Horizon Bloodhound. So that says to me, you know, they were prepared for that contest and they're playing a composition that's geared towards it and still.
00:09:53 Um, you know, BLT managed to take them down. Yeah, it's crazy to think, right? You have Horizons for Verticality on a place like Countdown. You have the Conduit Shield, but BLT with a bit of the damage from the headshot there. The Golden Gun, as you said, it's enough. But we already had the even more action. The Avengers looking to chase after Prevail, who does move into the Vault Tunnel. Seems like the geyser is theirs. HKF, on the other hand, over here at Monument 2.
00:10:19 You also see MXF nearby, so immediately we're getting into the games with teams so close to one another here, Genome.
00:10:27 Ja, Happy KW. Already giving chase.
00:10:56 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal, es ist die ersten Plätze oder nichts. Die besten Games von Cold and Hell und die besten Games in Bezug auf die Plätze zu sehen.
00:11:18 Yeah, they have been absolutely slapping here in the Pro League qualifiers. There's not really any other way to put it, I think. I think they've got equal the highest amount of wins out of anybody, and that's without playing some of the lower bracket matches that other teams have had to. So, yeah, I think Cold in Hell is definitely the...
00:11:40 Firm favorite here, to take out the number one spot and win this Match Point Finals. Not only because of, you know, how many points they've been putting up, but as I said, how often they've been walking away with the wins as well. Yeah, they're the team that have gotten those out. So we're watching FBJW on the other hand. A little bit of action here. Sawyer falls, Whiteflash in a bit of trouble as this house is heavily contested.
00:12:01 And again, FBKW, this team, on the other hand, this is a squad that I've seen. One is a solo, one is a trio. There is potential in FBKW. And Whiteflash, a team from the Pro League, from Split 1, they're eliminated early on too.
00:12:17 Some of that aggression that Rexu was talking about coming out nice and early here. And you know, that's all we expect from these teams, right? There's often a bigger skill gap, a bigger mechanics gap between some of these teams that come from the challenger circuit and even some of those bottom teams in...
00:12:35 ...the Pro League that we're seeing here. And so, you know, how do they leverage that? They just want to run at other teams, right? They want to try and get early KP on the board. They're not necessarily... There's not as much respect, I guess, in these kind of lobbies, right? So, as a result, you don't see teams try to play hard zone as often. Though I'm sure you will see a good amount of that from the teams who are, you know, trying to...
00:12:59 Trying to balance the way they play the game and prepare themselves if they do make it into the upper echelons of Apex South in Pro League.
00:13:07 Let's be real here, Gnome, right? This is still the qualifiers. They want to be the best of the best, but they're not there yet. They're trying to prove it here. There's that room for error, and we'll see some teams really try to skill gap the other squads, especially when they see one another. Aggression is part of the action. MXF, on the other hand, we're watching them move around, too. And it's still tickled Booba, the squad of BLT, who did win out that fight early on versus Great Phantom, one of the fan favorites. Even Rex, who had her eye on that squad.
00:13:36 Aber wir sehen schon einige von den Agenten Compositions bereits. Und die Standard, Bloodhound, Bangalore, Caustic sind die Top 3 so far für den ersten Spiel. Ja. Interessant zu sehen, wie das bereits verändert hat, mit den Nipps und Tucks, die wir zu den Legends hatten in den letzten Balance Changes. Aber wie Sie sehen, Bloodhound, Caustic...
00:14:01 Und Bangalore ist noch sehr gut in Firm-Control von dieser Meta. Das ist Kaustik-Meta. Wenn du nicht die Kaustik hast, dann bist du in Trouble. Speaking of, Sato und NubNim vs. KVK. NubNim ist ein Team so stark im Kontext. MonkeyKing gelernt das hier in den Pro League. Aber KVK, das ist ein Team, das kann auch nicht befehlern. Aoki-Chan nimmt die Schild auf 1. Sie haben die Heid hier in der Mitte. Luzi ist ein Trouble.
00:14:29 Und mit all den Gas providing cover, Kill&Beat Control ist in der zweiten Part der Namesake absolut in control von dieser Hype jetzt. Ja, und du hast die Caustics kommen jetzt zu spielen. Du hast die Alts gehen, Barrels werden in die Plätze, die oftmals die Caustic ist der einzige Legend, der kann die Aggressor sein in diesen Fights sein. Numnin hat tatsächlich einen höheren Position gemacht, um zu versuchen, zu gehen. Aber...
00:14:56 Es ist hart zu finden, ein Cover zu finden in der Lava und ein Flos ist weggegangen. Ja, Yogi-chan, ein B-Oval-Snipe da mit der 30-30, Lizzie ist noch in Kontroll.
00:15:05 Und du hast gesagt, Gnome, du hast jemanden wie Satoko-Hai, der Caustik von NumNim, für die Frontline zu contesten. Rolling Thunder ist auch in der Spiel, als NumNim ist derjenige in den Trouble hier. Du hast 7-Eth und Monkey King, die auszulteren. Und es ist ein kleines Wichter, ich sage, für Monkey King. Wenn man die Pressure auf NumNim macht, werden sie sich daran erinnern, was passiert. Und Monkey King, die jetzt zuerstellen, hier in der Low-Ground.
00:15:33 Yeah, as soon as Monkey King got wind of that, you know, they're starting to throw nades into there. And they've actually taken quite a bit of damage themselves, as you can see, but they do manage to get out of that safely. Somehow, there's only the one member of NumNim left alive there.
00:15:52 Is the Bangalore going to be able to make it out? I think they might actually. Kill'em v. Control seemed to switch their focus onto Monkey King there for just a second, and that's allowed the Bangalore to just make it out, I think.
00:16:05 Ja, Zoe ist der einzige, der eigentlich spotte Numnim da. Und Killing v. Control hat ein paar Potshots. Oh! Beautiful work with the Hemlock, aber es ist nicht genug, um zu bekommen, um zu 7 Rv2. Numnim liebte, eine andere Sache. Das heißt, Starshine E-Sport, Monkey King, Killing v. Control ist ein Triumvirate auf der South Side von Epicenter. Aber auf der Ring ist es, um in den Nord-East zu verlassen. Und Sie wissen, dass die Team in der Mitte der Aktion ist. Es ist da, mit dem Truck zu arbeiten.
00:16:34 They're doing well, but they probably will have to move sooner or later. As you can see, the ring heading northeast here. So it looks like it will be a Climatizer ending. So you've got teams like Killdevil sitting up in one of those buildings right up in the back. They'll have a sliver of that to play in. And then the southern end of the Climatizer buildings will also be Behop property soon.
00:16:59 Und Kold in hell, Wiping out, Remarkable Team, Unremarkable for this game so far. The Black Hole there from Aminos, really setting things up, but on top of the tower.
00:17:09 Get another squad. It's Barbecue, they're rivals from yesterday. And I guess that's the thing here, G&L. The storyline between Barbecue as well as Cold and Hell. Yes, Barbecue can get the one-up in the fights, but Cold and Hell are the ones taking dubs. Even if Barbecue got the first place from yesterday and the 10 bonus points, look at their stats, look at their standings. They didn't win a single game from yesterday's action. Yeah, we know that's what Match Point's all about, right? Like, you can come second, but...
00:17:36 I guess that's the other thing to sort of mention today, Dax, is that first is maybe not as important as it usually is in a match point format, because realistically, it's the top eight from this that are going through match point. You know, when that's reached, when that is clinched by their final team, it'll end the series, but it won't necessarily mean that they're the only ones walking away with their heads held high.
00:17:59 Ich meine, wenn du eine Short-Serie bist, kannst du für Kolden hellen, um zu performen sehr gut zu werden. Aber wir sehen Numnim, die tatsächlich Reset ist, als Thrio. Die Revenant hier in Trouble. Die Vor-Shadow ist erin, und Numnim ist es, sie geteilt sind. Oh, damn, damage ist er. Und 7-RV zu der Lone Survivor. Einmal wieder, ein bisschen Dejavu, aber es ist kein Geist von der Rest von Ground Zero. Die Aggression von Kano und der Rest ist wirklich in die Arbeit und die Schläufe.
Spannungsgeladene Momente und das Finale des ersten Matches
00:18:30
00:18:30 Oh, das fühlt sich wie ein Gamer-Control mit der, äh, der Action geht in diesem Punkt hier. Und da sind genug Core-Sticks zu boot, um es zu machen, als auch. Um, all das Widering happening down hier in Fragments.
00:18:44 And Monument means it's getting a little too close. 20 seconds left to the ring. So you do see some evacs popped. And I think Monkey King are just going to try and get out on that while they take shots from Ground Zero here. Double reds for them already. I mean, it makes sense. You look at Ground Zero's comp. This is what Rexxu has been talking about in the panel, right? The Revenant, the Pathfinder, and the Lifeline. I don't know who cooked up this composition, but it's been something that many of these teams here in the qualifiers have been working with.
00:19:13 Ja, ich bin nicht...
00:19:37 Ich bin sicher, dass wir diese Composition in den Land kommen, in den weiteren Tournamenten kommen. Aber ich hoffe, dass wir das. Weil es so viel Spaß ist. Ich hoffe, dass wir vielleicht noch mehr Aggressiv Teams sehen, dass wir Dark Zero sehen, oder jemanden, die wirklich die Hürde auf andere Teams von EDGE haben, spielen diese Compositions.
00:20:00 Ja, wie Wonson Dumpling, die wir sehen, die Main Channel haben. Big shout-out to our prod, by the way, providing all that footage. But KVK, we watch out for them. Epicenter still in the position. And it's getting crowded here. Ground Zero, Monkey King, Starshine, Esports, and even the Avengers nearby. And once this ring starts closing in, they might be the ones in trouble. KVK, though, looking to get a bit of cover. Scanned out, spotted here by Kano and the rest of Ground Zero. But they still have that hype to work with.
00:20:32 Quite a lot of teams stuck on this side of the epicenter, and it's not a great place to be. They've got to cross the river of lava, there's two bridges on the way out, but I mean, you know, two bridges, six teams, you do the map, how many are going to make it into that next circle? Double digits perhaps, like down to ten. We always see here in the Apex South, a cluster of kills. When the rotation happens, the scoreboard just lights up.
00:20:57 Und ich denke, dass wir ein bisschen auf die Abwärmung hier haben, ich möchte auch sagen, dass die Lifeline, weil sie die K.A.R. Package geändert hat, dass sie die K.A.R. Package geändert haben, dass sie die K.A.R. Package geändert haben, dass sie die K.A.R. Package geändert haben, dass sie die K.A.R. Package geändert haben, dass sie die K.A.R. Package geändert haben, dass sie die K.A.R. Package geändert haben, dass sie die K.A.R. Package geändert haben, dass sie die K.A.R. Package geändert haben, dass sie die K.A.R. Package geändert haben, dass sie die K.A.R. Package geändert haben, dass sie die K.A.R. Package geändert haben, dass sie die K.A.R. Package geändert haben, dass
00:21:22 Okay, there you see that Energize zipline coming out. The lifeline drops, though, and takes a swift 120. Is it enough, though, with the access to all these red armors? Ground Zero will put Monkey King down. That's not an easy team to win like that. And Ground Zero just fighting Monkey King in pure mechanics. This is a team that can just go for the full cent. I remember what they did to Starshine Esports yesterday all the way in Landslide. They just disappeared in the blink of an eye.
00:21:52 S-S-E, das ist Team X-Ray, in Position jetzt. Das ist ein tolles Team, aber wir sehen uns F.E.K.W. Schikan Bros. hier an Klimatizer. X-Ray, das muss zurückkommen. Oh, das wird die Shield zurückgegangen. So X-Ray bleibt hier, BLT.
00:22:08 ... ... ... ... ...
00:22:34 The Squad Granny Smith also on the inside. BLT, they have a bit of cover here. Incredible effort from BLT. I thought they left it too late. Honestly, sometimes you'll see teams take, you know, 50 damage from the ring.
00:22:46 in situations like that and then they don't account for a bang ult slowing them down and the stun is enough to finish them off or keep them in the ring to even further and get knocked. So the fact that BLT have come out of that with three people left alive is actually quite impressive.
00:23:09 So that head-to-head matchup 1-0 in their favor for today. Expect that to happen even more so now. But here comes through a contender truly ready to fight. Vixaria in the front line. The knockdown shield's provided cover, but it's too little too late for BLT.
00:23:24 Oh, all that hard work for nothing. And this is how Apex feels sometimes, right? There's so many hard situations you have to go through to win a game with his 20 squads alive in it. But Barbecue, they're looking to do exactly that. Coming around the outside now, trying to take away probably one of the best spots in this game that Killdevil is holding all the way up the back. The more exciting side of the circle perhaps now though is going to be the Shacanes, bros.
00:23:53 Jetzt haben wir mit dem Ring zu gehen.
00:23:55 Wir haben einen X-Ray Solo auf einer Seite, und du hast True und HKUF, die jetzt behaupten, die Van. Chikant, Bro, das Squad qualifizienten, bei einer SINGLE POINT von gestern, die Clutchin' es aus, auf dieses Map zu machen, in 2nd place. Die Eliminate X-Ray jetzt, und als das passiert, HKUF, die Augen auf zu True. Sie haben die Wotzen Pylon in Position, Killdevil, auf der anderen Seite, hier auf der Screen, auf gegen Barbeque, Action aufgrund von Chikant Brothers, auf die Chaos, und auch in die Khaos,
00:24:25 3rd party, but HKUF, they wipe out Drew, they get back into cover inside their truck, a little bit of danger, the gas, it's too much to handle, and this is the problem, and you don't have that caustic, yes you have the Watson Ferdinates and whatnot, but you can't fight out the gas, and HKUF, they get fumigated there.
00:24:43 Best Control comes in pretty handy there for HKUF. Well, sorry, on the receiving end of it at least. Now we've got Barbecue. They're currently hiding behind their Lifeline package. You know, sometimes that's all you can use them for. Unfortunately, the Lifeline goes down first, so they don't have the free res here. As Levy from Kill Devil, who you guys will know from Pro League in Split 1, is putting pay to them with the Havoc.
00:25:13 Bolin, als auch. Sie wollen, dass sie vielleicht noch mal wieder anfangen. Die Knockdown Shield für Barbecue ist jetzt hoch. Wie lange können sie warten? Surely die Schikanns, bros. Und sie sind auch wieder in Wireszone. Eugen ist auch auf der Grund und Kildevill. Der Rostler, du hast einen Splitt 1, mit Bollin in den Rostler, jetzt von DNZ.
00:25:37 We saw him swap teams on the last day of Split 1. Barbecue eliminated, and we are down to two teams here. That was beautiful by Killdevil. I mean, they had the hook in there, and they just reeled them in, slowly finishing off Barbecue. The Chicancer Bros, though, you know, they didn't get an opening there because of how slowly Killdevil played that, so they will just have to take this on as essentially a straight-up 3v3.
00:26:01 Für KD, sie haben die Height, sie haben die Gas, und Bolin hat alle die Angles, die er kann ausgehen. Der Handel ist sehr low, hier ist er, er wird von der Thurmite-Brennade von der Acquaintance und Schickanz-Bros, das Team, das Clutch hat es aus, für Sekund, heute, sie haben es mit einem 1st-Place-Finisch. Game 1 geht es für Schickanz-Bros. Oh, Biola da mit der Wingman wirklich Clutching-Up in der Final-Fight.
00:26:28 What a game to start of the finals for the qualifiers. What a show of force from the Shakanbros. And Lace, what you think? Welcome to what...
00:26:40 Die Pro League qualifiers are all about. Dax, that was absolutely insane. For everyone at home, if you're just tuning in, that was our first game for PLQ Finals for Apex South. Dax, I'm just sitting here. I was like, White Flash, one of our Pro League teams that were eliminated quite early on in the first match. You know, they do have two advanced starting points heading into our match format today. Kill Devil as well, Dax. Another one of our Pro League teams bringing the flames from Hellfire.
00:27:07 Um, they start with like three advance points, so them, you know, placing second there, but just insane from our winning team.
00:27:15 Ja, Schickanz bros, 28th coming into this one. 9 KP alongside a 1st place finish. But you can already see what this lobby is going to be all about. Aggression on aggression. Sure, edge teams, they can get KP early on, but it's the zone teams right now you have to watch out for. The gatekeeping has been strong from squads like True, like HKUF, giving themselves a 5th place finish. But still, that last fight from Schickanz bros, the fact of the matter is, it's just early downs, especially with the Thermite, especially with those nades and Schickanz bros.
00:27:44 Ich glaube, es ist einfach so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so, dass ich es nicht so.
00:28:08 Placing of second, I did say before that, you know, they've got three advanced starting ports going into match point format here. So didn't collect too many, I guess, you know, KP along the way there. But, you know, the positioning was excellent from them. And again, we have to touch on Team Barbecue as well, Dax, because, you know, they're sitting pretty at the top with already 10 advanced starting points.
00:28:28 Ja, und ich denke, dass sie noch immer noch bleiben. Es gibt Konfirmation auf den Scoreboarden, die 10 Punkte von vorhin. Und jetzt haben Sie 23 mit 6 Kp und all und was nicht. Schickanz Bros, 21, gerade hinter dem. Und es ist bereits ein bisschen surprising zu sehen, wie Monkey King, Grape, Fanta, Whiteflash, KVK, und sogar Numb'em hier in den Bottom 10. Ja, genau. Ich war sort of keeping an eye on Whiteflash vorhin, aber ja, es ist ein 18er Punkt. Ich glaube, es ist zu early zu sagen.
00:28:57 Ja, ich bin ein bisschen chillier hier. So, you know, some of these teams are still just warming up and getting themselves started. Also, I just want to touch on a great performance by Killen versus Control. I felt like they would have moved a little bit forward. They collected a few points there, but they had really nice Control over the top near Beacon in that before Zone sort of closed. So, you know, I really feel like that team is going to do some work today. So I'm really excited to kind of keep an eye on them.
00:29:27 Ja, KvK, da ist viel Potenzial für die Squad, speziell wenn sie als ein Trio spielen. Ich fühle mich, Gnome hat gesagt, dass ein Greatpoint ein paar Mal gesagt, dass diese Later-Rotations kommen in den Rings wird, weil es nicht nur die Zone-Teams gatekeeping, wie True was, aber dann bist du gegen Teams wie Funky King, du bist gegen Teams wie Numnim, und du bist alle rotatieren. Ich fühle mich, wenn wir in den letzten Parts dieser Session, wenn wir noch mehr Games bekommen, sind es Matchpoint-Format, dann werden diese Teams realisieren, Leute, warum wir einfach spielen?
00:29:56 und warten für die Kills zu kommen, denn jetzt ist es wirklich das Decision-Making, und das ist das, was kann die Team separatieren, die es um die Split 2 zu machen.
00:30:06 Yeah, no, that's an incredible point because, you know, we go from watching like Pro League and like you said, we have a lot of teams sort of rotating in and that's who you've got to sort of fight it with. But yeah, you do find in these sort of matches, you get a little bit of a meta switch up, you know, we're touching on, you know, with basically the teams were playing, you know, Lifeline and stuff like that. So yeah, got to be very careful in those rotations. But we're going to take ourselves a short break. Dax, we will see you guys back in a moment for match number two.
00:32:37 It could be they win it in the third game, they win it next after that.
00:33:04 Es ist nicht so easy, als ich sage es, aber wir brauchen unsere Teams zu erreichen 50 Punkte, Matchpoint-Eligible zu gewinnen. Wir haben ein faires Team, Dax, das haben einige advanced Punkte. Ich weiß, dass Barbecue über 10 Punkte haben. Sie haben einen schönen Start. Ja, ich meine, das ist genau das, was sie in der Lage ist. Aber ich fühle mich, es ist noch etwas, was sie brauchen. Das Team, Barbecue.
00:33:28 ...that didn't get any dubs from yesterday. Someone like Cole and Hell might be the ones to take that top stat for them. But if you remember Laze, even though it's match point format and winning...
00:33:38 Das ist genau richtig. So, es gibt keine Geld für die Zukunft, aber es ist die Fähigkeit. Und wenn du in Split 2 gehst, kannst du das Geld für die Geld für die Welt kommen.
00:34:07 Wir sehen uns, wie sie sind, und sie machen das. So, es ist, you know, es ist, alles ist auf der line hier. Wir werden uns in unsere zweiten matchen. Wir sind wieder auf World's Edge. Dax, wir sehen uns wie unsere Teams können.
Zweites Match auf World's Edge: Frühe Konfrontationen und Meta-Anpassungen
00:34:22
00:34:22 And we are back. I wonder if this time we have a bit of room to breathe here, Genome, because the action kicked off immediately from game number one. Looking at VLT, seems like they're just going to be able to get a quick landing going here towards the countdown area. Not going to be bothering Grape Fanta this time around, but never mind, actually. They've switched it up. They changed it up, and Grape Fanta elsewhere here towards the Harvester.
00:34:46 Ah, well, they tried their luck at Countdown. Didn't go too well for them, so they've switched up. Now they're over in Harvester, taking on Whiteflash. So, obviously, a team that we know from Pro League. This time, Drake Banner seemed to be getting the upper hand. Again, going with that very aggressive contest-focused composition here with the Bloodhound, the Conduit, and the Horizon.
00:35:08 And Grapefanta. Didn't see them really perform in the last map this time around. It's Whiteflash. The ones that are trying to victimize Soyo. He's gonna fall first. They're already hunting down for any other of these players. But I believe Rococo trying to get away. Loki actually finishing him off. Collapse netting those kills. And Whiteflash. They're gonna be taking Harvester by storm here. As we're getting our team comps. And immediately our ring looking to head towards the east here. Nearby Ghost Town Overlook.
00:35:37 Ja, ich meine, ich bin nicht froh, dass Greyfriandler hat die andere Hand in den ersten Konten. Ich glaube, das ist eine der Grunde ist, dass die Harvester-Kontest ist viel mehr technisch, ich würde sagen. In der Countdown ist es ziemlich flat. Es ist die Mitte, aber du hast es nicht so viel benutzt, aber du hast es nicht so viel benutzt. So, du kannst du land, du loot up und du hast dich gegen den anderen. Die Harvester-Kontest ist sehr, sehr unterschiedlich. Wir haben es gesehen, dass es auf LAN ein paar Mal in sehr hochprofile Konten gibt.
00:36:07 Taking the honeypot loot in the middle, having vertical capability to be able to get back up into the middle room where all the loot bins are and control that area. It's just, it's a very specific sort of contest and great banter having the legend composition to work for that here is extremely important. Yeah, I gotta agree with you. Oh, well, that will go on countdown. It could have been good. Here on Harvester, even better. But look at Killers in control, hunting down the final player of Whiteflash.
00:36:34 2-1-K-N-X, es ist Ken, der hat sich zu versuchen, die hell auszuladen. Ein kurzer Fraggeräte ist, aber es ist einfach nur für Whiteflash. Und... Gone in Flash! Das ist das jetzt, was sie sind.
00:36:47 Ich sage, es ist ein Whiteflash. Und endlich wird Grapefanta gespielt. Ein Team, das einfach nur für den Lobby war. Ich denke, das ist ein Grund, warum sie zu finden, um ein Home zu finden, auf Worlds Edge zu finden. Wir haben MXF gegen HQUF wieder auf Monument.
00:37:09 Ja, Monument fight noch mal, aber es scheint, MXF ist ein bisschen mehr kommentiert auf diese Anführung. Arteria-Stowe ist mit einem 2-V-2, aber es ist MXF mit der Advantage. Oh, Fisch ist auf die Tür, zu sagen, dass ich mich in, dass ich mich in, Lil'Pig bin. Die Arke sind in die Spiel, MXF ist für die Knochs, für die Klinge, und Black Road, die nur die Weg ist, ist jetzt zu gehen, von all diesen Fights.
00:37:36 Hier sehen wir Revenen's Leap in handy, um zu versuchen, die letzte member zu holen. Und, sie sind eigentlich noch etwas Hurt. In die Richtung. Aber ja, es wird ein hartes Effort für die 1V3 in der Ende. Jetzt müssen sie das ab und resetten, bevor die Schickanz bros kommen und geben sie einen Trouble, als sie starten zu gehen durch die northen Monument. Um, als wir sehen, die Circle...
00:38:04 Es ist eher auf Fragment und wahrscheinlich wird auf Overlook in der Ende. Ja, ich würde mich nicht überrascht. Aber MXF... Die Composition mit den Revenent und den Bloodhound haben, wie du sogar wegst, wenn sie den Ultimaten haben? Es ist sehr gefährlich, wenn MXF hat ihre Sights auf dich.
00:38:24 Und ich möchte auch über MXF zu sprechen. Das Team war wirklich ein Non-Factor für Split 1. Bis zum nächsten Mal, dass sie plötzlich aufbaut haben. Und dann in den letzten paar Tagen haben wir noch mehr in den neuen Patchen. Und dann in den letzten paar Tagen haben wir noch besser. So ich glaube, MXF, wenn sie wieder in Split 2 kommen können, werden sie noch besser als vorher.
00:38:47 I mean, they've even made a change from Game 1 to Game 2 there, right? Dax, you know, they changed off the Bangalore, went on to the Pathfinder. Again, everybody's gonna be so happy to see him get back in the meta. It's so fun. It's been such a long time. I've been waiting. I've been hoping every time he gets changed. And, you know, all this time he's sort of sat without the passive. And now, finally, it seems with that, potentially with that flexibility, I think is probably one of the key parts that...
00:39:15 Für his Level 2 Upgrade, wo man wählen kann, wo man auf die map auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite auf die Seite
00:39:43 Das ist eigentlich ein wirklich schwerer choice. Ich würde sagen, ich habe nicht genug gesehen von dem neuen Pathfinder in Top-Level Play. Ich bin sicher, wir können ihn experimentieren mit ihm in Ranked und all that kind of stuff, aber es ist einfach so anders. Wenn du in ein High-Level Lobby bist, ist das, dass das damage reduziert, ist das genug, um zu gehen von einem Spot zu einer? Oder du wirklich noch ein Evac Tower oder ein Wraith Portal?
00:40:11 The chances of you getting sniped are a lot less. I don't know yet. I'm actually going to wait. I'm not afraid to say I'll wait and see on something like that. Maybe the evidence will come today as True flies into Ghost Town. Also, a bit of action happening here towards the Geyser. You've got Kill Devil versus The Avengers. Very familiar teams against one another. Having a bit of a standoff there. Speaking of, look at Ken Tsung.
00:40:37 This Avengers, a squad that made it to the top time, I believe, from yesterday. But even though they weren't in the top three standings, they had some of the highest damage numbers in the Pro League qualifiers. So I'd love to see what Hikiz especially can do coming into this matchup. But speaking of, Hikiz already down the ground. Sky getting the knock. Hikiz gonna be...
00:41:00 Oh no, that's Kenton going down there.
00:41:28 Um, yet again, a player, a player that you are probably familiar with from Pro League and they leave behind
00:43:49 A little bit of action here. And already a flow down the ground. Every time Monkey King puts the hurting onto NumNim and the rest, you know they're gonna have a smile on their face. And that Monkey King gets the wipe that they need. So 15 squads left here. As we see more teams look to congregate. I'm also watching out for the middle of the next ring here. Great Phantas in position. But Shikansbro is looking to contest that too.
00:44:17 Ja, als Sie sagen, auf hier, Ground Zero. Sie sehen, dass sie die bessere VLT sind. Kann sie finden einen Platz? Sie wollen, dass sie auf der Rez kommt. Sie wollen, dass sie zu sehen sind. Und mit Lui-San zurückkehren, es fühlt sich jedes Mal an, dass sie wiederholt werden können. Aber Tickle hat es geschafft.
00:44:44 Runs straight into Monkey King on the other side, you see? Tickle just tried to squeeze through the gap there, but... Oof, it's a hard ask. Yeah, DLT again struggling here, but you can see early, do you know? Lifeline plus the Pappy and the Revenant, there is no even trade. Monkey King though now, the one's in danger, as here comes MXF, a strong contest from Fragment, looking to push on in, already have the knock advantage, and immediately
00:45:13 Sie sehen, dass du MxF hast, für 7E, speziell. Aimbote, auf der Grund, der nur noch auf dem Platz ist, ist der Caustic. Da ist ein Angle zu spielen, von der Bildung hier. Der Gas Grenade, also zu versuchen, zu versuchen, eine Anrena zu spielen, von MxF. Und dann kann man sich die Rez zu spielen. Und Aseran, die Chase, die Pressure auf der Caustic hier. Sieht der Target, zu versuchen, die Kraft zu bringen. Die Shield-Battern ist in der Zeit, aber ein Peacon, auch noch, und wieder mit der Fight.
00:45:43 Die Shots sind von Nassif, die nicht verbunden sind! Und Monkey King ist setpacking hier!
00:45:49 Nice little pick up there from MXF. And, you know, they've got... There's an Evac Tower next to them. I don't think they're going to get... Oh, will they have time to use that to get into this next ring? Because it has pulled very much away from Overlook. And all those teams who were set up, both in the sort of Northern Village and on the cliffside of Overwatch, are going to have to start moving out when we get to Round 5. That's it.
00:46:16 Teams in the vault a bit further down. They're gonna be okay. Remarkable team. They've got a lot to struggle with here.
00:46:28 Und sie könnten sie weggehen Killdevil, aber Killdevil, warum ist er auf der westen Seite von Vault-Tunnel? Jetzt haben sie nebenbei in Barbecue, die auf dem Roofsack spielen, speziell mit Eugenien. Killdevil ist noch nicht mit Cover-Markable-Team. Eliminatet hier. Aber Sie sehen, Gatekeeping ist sehr wichtig, sogar noch mehr als vorher an World's Edge. Door Breaks, Barbecue denkt, MXF also lying in wait.
00:46:54 Actually, they're the ones kicking off the action. They don't even wait anymore. They look for King, and now he's in trouble. Barbecue the ones trying to find a way to get out of this predicament. Arcstar Slum, MXF still in position on the other house as Barbecue is forced to play on top of the rooftop. Oh, I mean, it's such a cruel ring shift here. I mean, Loki and his team in great banter have just walked straight into the Dorito house, which is probably one of the best spots here in Ghost Town.
00:47:23 in der nächsten Ring. Aber so viele andere Teams haben zu machen. Und als Sie sehen, Starshine E-Sports hier ist, noch in die Battle. Ja, Starshine vs. Cold and Hell. Hier wieder geht's wieder. Black Hole ist hier von Animus. Gravity Lift also, als FDKW ist jetzt eliminated. Cold and Hell ist jetzt zu machen. Das Alternatoren.
00:47:46 Very pesky against those shields. Cold in hell. We have the height. Starshine, what can they even do in this predicament? Two still standing. As they already have the Bloodhound down. Cold in hell. They'll take the POI for now. Oh, there we go. Find the one remaining. And their teammate actually got out. So Liang from Starshine has made his way towards the ring. Don't know how long he'll survive, though. True have come out of their bunker. And they are looking...
00:48:15 To make some space on the top side of here, behind those rocks. Sort of sit out in the open. That's going to be a very important piece of this final zone. Barbecue a little bit below that. You know, if they can maybe...
00:48:31 Put some pressure on True and take that spot away from them. That would go a long way to helping them. But as you can see with the zone closing here, there's three or four teams up the top who still have to make their way in. And they're all kind of looking at each other, trying to work out who's going to pinch who. And look at True right now in such a strong position. X-Ray also doing damage against Colden Health, who is eliminated now. X-Ray still in position to keep fighting. And Ground Zero is the one in trouble here.
00:48:59 Sie haben die Forge Schadows. Sie sind für die Doctrine zu halten, aber Hizzi ist bereits weg von diesem Kampf. X-Ray gibt's Chase, faking die Northern Side für sich selbst. Und X-Ray wipes die Slay clean. Ground Zero, left it to two. While this happens, it's true. Also, Chippen auf in. While this happens, again, another...
00:49:17 Potential fight from Shikans Bros. And that's really what the story's all about. What this game is all about. Squad on squad action as soon as these rotations force them to meet one another. Shikans Bros, they have cover inside the tunnel. Ground Zero is eliminated. X-Ray left to a solo here too.
00:49:35 You can see the last member left alive of X-Ray trying to work out if they can maybe go for the res, but with the Bangalore ult put down by Ua there, they really don't have an opportunity. They do take a knock, though. In the meantime, Acquaintance, and they get them back up. True now looking. They are so split, though. I mean, there's two of them up the top, and then you've got Granny Smith down the bottom there.
00:50:02 On the Caustic, so far down. What a snipe from a Yoki-chan. They're turning the tables on a Clayton's and the rest of Shitan's bros, who's left to Oler, the only one standing.
00:50:14 Kiel & B Control, ein Team, der weiß, wie zu tun, in der Name, richtig? Sie gehen auf die Seite, schauen, noch mehr Schakannsbrot, aber so schnell, als sie ein Hinten von Trouble sehen, sie gehen zurück. Loki, und der Rest von Great Fanta, die Pressure nehmen. Sie nehmen die Rooft-Off-A-Way, die Gravity Lift wieder, um den ELEVATION-WINGMAN in den Händen von Loki. Dieser Mann hat überall und überall. Even coaching für IBG, mit Niko und der Rest. Da ist Action afoot. MXF, also nearby.
00:50:43 hier als Fisch will es zu halten, Niko geht es auf den Garten, sie haben die Dorita House, aber für wie lange hier, Genome? Ja, look, sie hat die Red Armour und die Wingman, und oh mein Gott, zwei Kills für Luki, ich glaube, ich glaube, es ist nicht so, ich glaube, es ist vorbei, es ist vorbei, jetzt!
00:51:03 Oh, das ist ein Insane Amount of Damage. Es kam aus für Loki da. Er hat nicht geschafft, weil der Rest des Team ist, dass das nicht ein guter Effort in der Ende war.
00:51:26 ... ... ... ... ...
00:51:49 Ja, ich meine, das war eine große Herausforderung. Als wir sehen, sie waren so split, sie waren wirklich auf der anderen Seite von den Zonen. Und das ist ein ziemlich risker Weg zu spielen, Lace. Aber, ihr wisst, sie hat es geschafft. Sie haben nicht, ich glaube, keine weiteren Risiken als das. Sie haben nicht in einen Kampf, dass sie nicht gewinnen können. Und als resultierend, sie hat genug Platz, dass sie sagen können.
00:52:15 um from up there and and take the dub yeah that's it you know they created a little bit of space for themselves we did have a fair few teams they're fighting just on the hill um i know chicane's bros had the position under the bridge and they you know didn't really get to take out some kills moving up forward and having a you know a couple of their teams eliminated but i just want to touch on loki just absolutely frying with the wingman taking down everything um i think yeah he eliminated one of the teams as well um and then taking out uh i think it was uh uh one of the chicane's bros i think they
00:52:45 They had Biola by themselves. So that was amazing from Loki to see that performance. Yeah, definitely making a comeback. I mean, if there was ever like a bullet to...
00:52:55 points scored on the scoreboard kind of ratio uh that would probably be one of the highest we've ever seen there with uh yeah as you said squad wipes you know helping them get into um it's a higher placement as well that was yeah a pretty incredible effort by loki who as we say has been he's been around the scene for a very long time right obviously he was playing for quite a while uh you know in pro league
00:53:20 Und dann, ihr wisst, ja, es geht zu LAN, als Coach und ja, und jetzt noch immer noch ein Tilt an es. So, toll zu sehen ihn zurück und in Form zu sehen. Exactly right, es ist wirklich toll zu sehen, dass die Spieler zurückkommen. Aber, ihr wisst, wir sehen, Trü, Trü, um, sie starten mit den 5 Event Standing Points und dann haben sie das Win gemacht. Um, wenn wir sehen, wir sehen, dass sie genau wo sie sind. Aber, ihr wisst, sie wirklich, in der zweiten Match kam, um, es ist wirklich toll, um, diese Teams, die wir nicht zu touchieren.
00:53:49 Absolut, ich meine, wenn du nach...
00:54:15 Um, you know, there's been a lot of very good teams who have come through CC over the years. I mean, Wanton Dumpling, right? Like, they were a team who was playing in CC once upon a time, and now look at where they are! And as we look at some of these other teams, you know, some didn't even make it into that final lobby today, right? I think it was like Full Engage, God Hand, um...
00:54:43 And T4 as well, I think, also fell yesterday, which essentially means they're just not going to be in Split 2 of Pro League. And yeah, I'm so glad to see other teams come up and get to have their chance in the Limelight. Rodgers there that we just saw, supposedly one of the up-and-coming IGLs and on M&K as well. So you'll love to see it.
00:55:07 Yeah, exactly right. So Rodgers, you know, like I touched on before, were just frying teams throughout Geyser. And, you know, they had some position. They spread it out, watched every team fight and took that win, you know, and had eight kills along the way. So they definitely did some amazing stuff right there. MXF, though, coming in with 12 kills, Genome. They're absolutely smashing through this lobby as well, you know.
00:55:30 We're literally, you know, fresh to this as well. I don't know if they had any sort of starting points. I think they're a little bit lower there, but, you know, it's awesome. Sorry, they had about six advanced standing points. So this 12 kills second, you know, position will probably push them up a little bit further. And there we go, True, sitting out in first place. And Shikans Bros just coming in slightly second. And MXF, who we just saw do amazing stuff as well, sitting in third place.
00:55:57 Indeed. I mean, you can see that, sure, some of those advanced standing points are nice to have, but, you know, Barbecue, Cold in Hell, they're sitting, you know, only fourth and fifth right now. The points that you need, you need to get in-game today before it is too late. And, you know, we've seen two games already. No one's really near match point. Even True would have to have another win, essentially, another massive game.
00:56:23 um, to get them over that hump. So, um, we still got a couple of games before we start getting into that, that dicey territory of it could end at any moment.
00:56:31 Exactly right. And you will see Kill and V Control moving up into the top 10 as well. It's really nice to see them. I kind of wanted to touch on Lizzy being one of our women players as well and playing on Caustic and, you know, really doing amazing. Seeing, you know, they control the top in our first game was just exceptional from them. So it's really awesome to not only have these new players, but, you know, have Lizzy from China join us and play in these leagues. So, you know, only time's going to tell for...
00:57:01 Wenn diese Teams werden, sind sie in den Top 10 zu sehen. Und jetzt, ja, absolut zu gehen. So, match No. 2, nichts short of Amazing Genome. Aber wir haben noch ein bisschen mehr. Wir haben noch ein bisschen mehr. Wir haben noch ein paar Match Point. Und wie Sie gesehen haben, 32 ist unsere Top-Standige Team. So wir haben noch ein paar mehr Matches vor uns.
00:57:22 Ja, ich meine, ja, es ist wirklich cool zu sehen, mehr representation hier zu sehen. Es ist ein bisschen lange, seit wir jemanden spielen in Pro League haben. Ich glaube, wir haben es nicht so far dieses Jahr gehabt. Last Jahr, wir definitiv hatten, ich glaube, Kur und ich war in da für ein bisschen, als Winnie. Winnie, of course, ist jetzt ein bisschen coaching Serenity, und, you know, ein paar Teams sollte es machen, so das ist sehr, sehr exciting. Und...
00:57:49 Ja, look, awesome to see, you know, diversity in terms of, you know, the countries we've got represented here and everything else here in these Pro League qualifiers. Exactly right. Couldn't have said it better myself, but go the ladies. But we're going to take ourselves a short little break, everybody. So sit back and relax, and we will see you soon for Match 3.
00:58:17 Von Legacy zu einer Dynasty ist jetzt komplett für TSM.
00:59:14 Wir sehen uns ein bisschen ein Rivalry develop in Apex Legends, als diese Trophäen gehen einfach weiter und weiter. Dark Zero, TSM, es ist immer eine der zwei Team. Unbelievable final we've had here today.
01:00:11 Can you say the same?
01:00:40 um and go through to july so it's going to be another you know exciting time for apex in apex south we just had chicane bros take out our first win of the day and then true truly amazing taking out our second win it was a big win for them yeah and moving them all the way to the top of the leaderboard and now we switch across the storm point though and that'll change things up a little bit lace i mean we
01:01:06 Weren't expecting Great Fanta to go ham and start just random dropping and contesting all the way over on World's Edge, but they did. There are actually a couple of contests that we're expecting as we move to Storm Point. We've got the Chicanes Bros versus MXF down at Devastated Coast. We've also, I mean, potentially looking at, we've got True and Ground Zero down at...
01:01:33 down at Echo HQ. But I think most likely we'll see them split. Yeah, exactly. So it's going to be action-packed as we start off. So let's head on to Match 3. This is going to be played on Stormpoint. Let's take it away.
01:01:52 It's been utter insanity for the first two games already, Genome. What are we gonna expect as we move into Stormpoint? If you are just tuning in, welcome to game number three for the PLC Finals for Apex. Dax and Genome are still together here on the casting side. And come on, World's Edge, it was absolute banger games. Absolute chaos before the fifth ring even closed in, Genome. What do we get here in Stormpoint now?
01:02:20 Ja, uh, vielleicht nicht das Contest, dass wir uns gedacht haben, denn, so far wie ich sehe, MXF war alone, Down at Devastated Coast, Echo HQ und Coastal Camp, als wir thought, um, sehr viel bei uns selbst, so...
01:02:37 Also, um zu sagen, ich habe noch ein paar Tests von den letzten Tagen gesehen.
01:02:52 Okay, so the big change is we've got...
Strategische Kartenkontrolle und Teampositionierung auf Storm Point
01:03:19
01:03:19 So, on our Dropshot map, HKUF had claimed Midmap and Jurassic. They're just sitting in Jurassic, and we've got the Chicanes Bros over at Midmap.
01:03:32 Also, das ist ein sehr guter Storm Point Map, eigentlich. Und ich glaube, dass andere POIs wirklich zu reden sind. Sie haben Whiteflash, all die in Barometer. Der POI ist von Split 1 vor. HAUF, Everyone's Playing Jurassic Park, und Kill Devil. Die sind hier bei Cito Station. So, as of right now... Take a breath, Genome.
01:03:59 Take a whiff of that fresh air, because this is the first time in a long time today that we get peace on the battlefield. Smell that in the air, it's not gonna last for long, ladies and gentlemen. It's gonna be a very short one.
01:04:16 Honestly, I don't know if I'm right about this, but I don't think we've seen a sixth and final ring yet. The first two games have finished, while the fifth ring was just closing in. Yeah, that's wild. And it has been making these games feel a lot faster than anything other, anything we've seen here in Apex Out. Yeah, you're right. It's a tempo that even we're not used to. But I guess, you know, probably enjoyers of CC.
01:04:46 We watch that a bit more often. Perhaps they expect these sort of shenanigans to be going on. BLT all the way out on the west side of the map are trying to take an evac into a good spot here as they pop up from behind that rock. Now, as you can see on their mini-map, you get a little bit of a hint of the green circle there. So they are going to try and land in some of the oranges as HKUF takes the other one.
01:05:15 And they'll just sort of be staring it across at each other here for quite some time, I imagine. Yeah, we're finally seeing more of the zone priority from these squads.
01:05:24 Also, take note, Whiteflash moving from Barometer to the Broken Armory. Got KD playing Bridge. And of course, it's Cold in Hell in position on the God Rocks. And that's the thing about Cold in Hell I want to talk about too. Coming into Storm Point, they're very good at reading these circles and moving into good positions. And it's interesting to see them do that given the composition that they play two offensive characters. In Mad Maggie and Bangalore, you have the Horizon. They don't really have Scan Agents coming into play, but they...
01:05:54 Damn, Avengers. Picking up one here. We saw them struggle earlier in our, uh, our matches today. Obviously, yeah, only sitting on six points at the moment. Fourteenth currently.
01:06:23 Das ist nicht genug, Dax. Du musst in die Top 8 sein. Ich meine, das ist die lustige Sache, richtig? Du hast es in die Top 20 gemacht. Du hast es gemacht. Du hast es gemacht. Du hast es gemacht. Du hast es gemacht. Du hast es geschafft. Du hast es geschafft. Du hast es geschafft. Du hast es geschafft. Du hast es geschafft. Du hast es geschafft. Du hast es geschafft. Du hast es geschafft. Du hast es geschafft.
01:06:46 Das ist nicht ein MASSIVE ask von diesem Punkt, aber du musst noch die Punkte auf dem Board und die Avengers haben einen Weg zu gehen. Und du musst starten strong, given die Match Point Format zu machen. Alles kann passieren, dass die Games schneller passieren können. Avengers, die gewinnen die Qualifier gewinnen, haben sie zu 10th place. Aber sie müssen die Elimination Round spielen. Und ich glaube, das ist die Sache, Genome. Es gibt einige Teams, die wirklich die Gauntlet haben. Und ich denke, zwei Teams in particular...
01:07:14 Ja, kind of crazy to think about, isn't it? And yeah, it's wild that we're actually getting so many teams just sitting happily within the circle right now. As you kind of mentioned...
01:07:37 This Stormpoint game so far has been a lot more chill. We've got a couple of teams actually crafting and whatnot in the zone. Coastal Camp, Barbecue, we've got True still sitting over in Devastated Coast, maybe just taking their time and grabbing those Evo Caches, oh sorry, the Evo Harvesters on the way back into the zone. Oh, but Grape Fanta, they're fighting here in the mill versus, I do believe, against Remarkable Team, Collapse.
01:08:05 He was on the floor, Niko bringing him back up. Very easy to tap there with the lifeline. And you wonder if Great Fanta really wants to commit on this fight. Some of their best games on Stormport are when they're able to play a building. Loki, he's really strong at calling some of these 1-2 splits where one's play is elevated to play on the ground. And after the display with the wingman a while ago, eyes are on Great Fanta to recover. In one game, Genome, they made it to the top eight. There's the beam right now from Collapse Forcing.
01:08:33 Remarkable team, back at the cover.
01:08:37 Ja, diese Teams nicht haben das Zonen-Knowledge. Ich kann ein paar von ihnen eigentlich pingen, dass sie genau wo der Circle ist, eigentlich. So, Great Fanta definitiv hat ihre Hände screwed auf, in terms of, uh, was sie zu tun, ihre Objekte in movingen durch den Rest des Spiels. Aber, unfortunately, für sie, der Remarkable Team, kind of holding the, uh, they've got die Drawbridge raised up, right now, across the middle of this, uh, mill, or should we call it, the moat.
01:09:06 No crossing this line and especially the fact that it's a southern mill that will be into the next rings anyway. So Grapefanta need to warm their way in. Perhaps towards the western coast and I guess that's really concerning since both of the oranges, the BLT as well as HKUF already occupied. So options limited here for Grapefanta if they don't have an evac tower. Beyond that though you also have Prevail nearby inside the buildings.
01:09:33 There's still FBKW, as well as Starshine Esports. Time to rotate on in. And look who's so far away right now. Barbecue still sticking around Cenote Cave. You have True all the way in the east by the Ski-Left. And these are the teams that might run into other squads later on as NumNim and Ground Zero find each other towards Barometer there.
01:09:53 Ja, so essentially I think a lot of these teams down the south have just been using their trident to zip through, pick up those Evo Harvesters, and then finally make it back into the ring. And as you can see, Barbecue's actually in a very good spot. They've got a very short amount of space until they hit that ring four. And there's no one between them and those spots. I mean, how playable are they? Yeah, look, that's another question. But at least for the moment, I think they're in a pretty good spot.
01:10:22 Und Barbecue. Sie haben eine gute Storm-Point-Games, wo sie so nahe zu gewinnen. Sie haben die Stellar-Kill-Points in der Games, aber es ist noch 2nd-Place-Best von heute. Remember, Match-Point-Format. Wir haben eine gewinne. Wir haben die Lobby. BLT, auf der Abskurts, jetzt auf die Arge. So, sie geben auf der Orange. Sie gehen nach Nord, um die Mil-Area. HKUF ist noch auf der Inseite.
01:10:50 Und BLT, das ist die Squad, die sich in diesen rotatieren zu haben. Ich wundere, was der Plan ist hier? Wir sehen uns, Heikens und der Rest. Bühne, Pass, Cookie, TastingBud und Rennes. Avengers! Sie setzen sich auf die Brücke wieder. Cover für jetzt.
Entscheidende Momente und Teamdynamiken im späteren Spielverlauf
01:11:10
01:11:10 Oh, can he get away? Well, he sort of lost. She does sort of there. That was Lizzie giving her a shout out. And unfortunately, she's going to be trying to crawl away from this one. And they are chased down by True, the team that is truly in form today, Dax. Sitting up at number one. And yeah, I think we probably just need to keep hammering this. But yeah, it's the top eight. So when you're watching that ticker.
01:11:38 Um, up the top go past, um, yeah, Cold in Hell, Hill Devil, um, X-Ray, those are the teams that are currently going to be joining us, uh, in Pro League at the start of the next split, or at least they would be if, uh, you know, it was ending right now. Of course, we will get a minimum of six games, regardless of how the match point...
01:11:59 um system goes so we sort of complicated a little bit for some of these lower leagues um you know as uh as time has gone on this year just to try and make things fair right all that means is uh you know we had some very dominating performances in in pro league qualifiers in in challenger circuit games where you know teams would be winning in three or four games and at that point uh you don't get a you know a great sense of how good all these teams are and when you're determining something as important as
01:12:28 Pro League qualification, we want to give all these teams a chance to prove themselves. I mean, this is the format these teams are going to be playing in the future anyway. Might as well get ready as Killen vControl cannot find a way into the ring. And that is Starshine Esports finishing off the job against them. So 18 squads left in the ring 3. This is a record, Geno. First time in all time. We have so many teams still alive.
01:12:58 Someone signed a Ceasefire, I don't know what's going on here, but this is very unusual. Okay, NumNim go up, just to go down. Seems like Sapa actually gets the knock, it's ground zero. It's highly on top of the bridge now, Revenant, they get the shield's craft. And yeah, there's just no stopping NumNim right now. They keep on going for the craft, bringing the damage. They even go for the zip and ground zero.
01:13:27 ...eventually eliminates Tether here by NumNim. Ja, das war ganz lustig. Ich meine, sie hatten die High Ground, aber es ist nicht genau die High Ground, wie ihr wollt. Es war nur ein kleines Stück. Als MXF kam in, sie kamen, sie kamen, sie kamen. Die Lifeline even hatte eine Gold Knock, als sie kamen. Aber egal, es war NumNim, die kamen auf. Aber sie kamen auf. Aber sie kamen auf. Aber sie kamen?
01:13:53 Es ist ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein für ein
01:14:20 Oh! The self revive! The self revive! No!
01:14:27 Der Ring will finish off the top, and then McSapp, they play the Hail Mary there with the self-rezz, but it's not enough. Yeah, look, Round 3 close here makes it a little bit tough, but nah, no, it's funny. I mean, what? Big props there to Numb Nymph for coming out, resetting, and then winning the next fight again. They've lost a flow, which kind of sucks, and I don't... Actually, there's a couple of replicators in play.
01:14:53 Um, there's a lot of squads in between them and the Replicators, so I don't know if they're gonna get that. Anyway, moving on to Great Fanta, who we were talking about earlier. They're gonna go in against Prevail, and my lord, do they not do just that. It's actually Great Fanta who are coming out on top of that one, um, and as a result, they move themselves into 8th.
01:15:13 So they might have even already been there at the start of this game because they're picking up points for their and they're maintaining that position and of course that is the cutoff I mean what a story that would be to see great banner who just barely made it into this final lobby and just barely squeak into pro league I mean that second game was enough to bring him to eight even if they got eliminated early on in first place and fun fact I know people talk about great
01:15:41 Apparently, it's discontinued in many places. Here in the Philippines, we have our own kind of Grape Bandai called Royal through Grape. It's basically a relabeled one, so yeah, a little bit off topic there. I just wanted to get that out of the way as NumNym is still alive. They're thinking about it, really, Genom. They pinged the replicator. They know where the respawn beacon is, and it seems like their mission here is to revive Aflow, bring him back to life, and no one will stop them into the building. They go. X-Ray is gone. Executed by NumNym.
01:16:10 See you later. Had the x-ray vision on where that player was. And they do get that clean up. Great fan up. Moving in slowly. But they're going to have to deal with cold and hell on Godrock above them. And they're just on the other side to the Shkansbros that we were looking at there. So maybe if they can get in and underneath. But man, there's a lot of other teams fighting for those spots. Barbecue are going to be going in HKUF. We do seem to be getting...
01:16:39 A lot of these similar teams in the top 10 towards the end of these games
01:17:07 They have gotten the Knopf onto Y-Zone there immediately. They see the Knopf, actually Alumnium gonna get eliminated now. But HKUF's left to one. Grape Fanta takes advantage of the chaos. Here we go again with low-key high-impact. HKUF eliminated. They're looking to clean up everyone else here on the floor. And sure, it will be a volley of missiles here. Artillery Brigade is on. Grape Fanta still in position right now though. And they get a good cleanup and get a good chance now to just...
01:17:35 whatever they can from these boxes. Yeah, look, I'm seeing the Lifeline coming clutch plenty in these fights, but the Pathfinder and Revenant, not so much in this final round here, Dax. And I do wonder, you know, if it's due to some of those reasons we talked about.
01:17:53 Ich habe wirklich den Punkt, ich denke, es war Rexy, vielleicht war es ihr vorher, dass, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, ihr könnt, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf, auf.
01:18:17 Das ist die Frage.
01:18:46 Well, Remarkable Team, they've got that great spot on top of The Rock. There's only two of them, though, and there is already a zipline set up towards them. So, Great Fan are actually sitting near that. If they wanted to try and force it, force the 3v2 and take that, they could do it. But they've got to worry about True as well. They've got a Bocek in Roger's hands.
01:19:12 Brands ist da auch. Das ist ein interessanter Endzone. Ich denke, alle drei Teams haben eine Part zu spielen in dieser Finale. In Grape Fanta haben sie die Least-Cover, aber sie haben die meisten Numbers. True, sie werden da getrennt da bei der Ring sehr, sehr schnell. Und hier wir gehen, Final Round, das erste Mal in forever. Und True, sie bekommen diese Win. Ich denke, das wird genug für sie zu sehen, die Eligibility der Genome.
01:19:41 So Remarkable team actually playing this very, very passively. I mean, they're sitting back. They don't have a huge amount of ammo. That might be... Sorry, one of the reasons. But they really are just taking their time. I mean...
01:20:09 Skongbai ist auf der Valkyrie, das bedeutet, dass es eine Möglichkeit ist, um sich zu repositionieren und spielen ein bisschen. Aber das kind of erinnert mich an das erste Spiel über Acclimatizer, wo man die Team of Three slowly reelt sie in und nicht zu riskieren, dass sie mit den Duos gehen. Ja, GrapePanta. Sie gehen Fischung, aber nicht in die Wasser. Und das ist eine große Sache, gegen Tru especially.
01:20:38 Mit Grani Schmidt auf der Koste, Sie wollen nicht spielen. Inside and interior. Rolling Thunder, jetzt die Call. Great Phantom, die die Gas Barrel, so schnell sie können. While es ein bisschen coverage ist, Thru noch nicht mehr. Remarkable Team. Sie haben Elevation, aber nicht mehr auf die Armour-Front. Hier geht es wieder, Smokin' mit Lauf-Cover hier. Und Rodgers, er muss sich aus der Dodge und in den Koffer. Thru muss auf innen. Sie finden einen Platz zu arbeiten.
01:21:08 Okay, so we're still in essentially the same position we were maybe two minutes ago. And Dax gets his... Oh my god, he just hit a 200 beam with the Havoc there to take down Nico. That was a massive, massive play there by Remarkable Team. And that could actually change the tides here with Great Panther now down to one.
01:21:35 Remarkable team, going for glory! Absolute damage from the high ground! And while True is gone, it's Great Phantom, the one standing on top of the rock. But you mentioned that Genome collapsed.
01:21:47 Wow, das war nichts short von Remarkable. Das Turnaround, der Patience zu gewinnen.
01:22:14 Okay, so Remarkable Team. They get a win on a map that they have won before from yesterday. And Lace, even if Remarkable Team...
01:22:24 Was left as a duo, they handled it with absolute cool, calm collectiveness. Exactly right. You kind of just saw them biding their time there behind that rock, just waiting patiently while the other two sort of do a little bit of damage on each other. You know, we had Great Fanta there, you know, doing amazing stuff. Q-Lap so close, holding on for dear life. But you know what? Sometimes it just takes a little patience, Dax. Sometimes going ham and straight into it doesn't work as well. And speaking of ham and going straight into it, I was watching Great Fanta just absolutely collect-
01:22:53 Ja, und ich denke, Loki ist wirklich eine große Grund für das. Der Spieler-Koch-History-Says-Says-Says-It-All ist, und er macht eine große Impact hier mit der Grave-Fanther-Roster. Ein Team, das ich glaube, ist eine der Neuer-Koch-Fanther-Fanther-Fanther-Fanther-Fanther-Fanther-Fanther.
01:23:22 Hier in Stormpoint 2. Less so compared to World's Edge, so I'm very happy we got the room to really breed in some of these games so far. Give some more, I'd say, background to some of these teams.
Meta-Entwicklungen und Teamzusammensetzungen in Apex Legends
01:23:34
01:23:34 You can see, Lifeline is getting very pesky here, Lace. And this is one big example. Numb, they've tried so many times. They even had to deal with the Cell friends along the way. I was going to say, as soon as we switched over to Stormpoint, I think at least like seven or eight teams have a Lifeline in the party. So this is a meta we were sort of talking about with Rexu before, where they're coming in with these aggressive Pathfinder plays with Lifeline to clean up the mess afterwards. And yeah, we had a massive change from team's composition coming over to Stormpoint.
01:24:03 So many lifelines to go around, and as you can be exactly right, very pesky, but sometimes extremely clutch for these teams. Remarkable team, though. One good thing that they do run here on the Stormpoint is that Valkyrie, there's so many ways for them to get elevation very, very quickly. It's a big reason why they had Godspot in that final three-squad scrimmage. You can see, because of that, they are able to build themselves up into the top. They're not good enough yet.
01:24:32 Ja, und natürlich, als Gnome hat gesagt, haben wir schon sechs Spiel gemacht, denn wir wollen es ein bisschen fairer machen. Und wir waren über Apec-North, wie ein Team macht es in vier Matches. So, wir werden es ein bisschen fairer geben, aber ja, True ist definitiv sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.
01:25:02 They did start out with five advance points as well, but they are holding that top position incredibly well. Obviously, we see great fans are sort of moving up the board there as well, Dax. So, you know, we've watched Loki in the second match absolutely pop off with the wingman. Then again, collecting, I guess, some more points there at the end. They're really honing it in and seeing them on Storm Point. You know, we head on to Storm Point after this as well. I reckon that they might actually perform a little bit.
01:25:31 Ich wollte auch auf Whiteflash, Dax. Sie hatten wirklich sehr schweres Spiel für unsere 1st und 2nd. Ich denke, sie sind 6th in der 3rd match auf Stormpoint. Sie sind eine unserer Pro-League-Teams, also sie vielleicht fühlen es heute. Ja, es gibt ein paar Schritte hier und da. Aber ich finde, wenn du von der Pro-League-Split-One bist, ist es eine Chance für dich zu pop-off, weil du auch noch ein Beispiel.
01:25:59 MxF, das ist eine Sache, die ich bemerke von der letzten Runde in Split 1 habe. Sie haben besser gemacht. Hier und jetzt, sie sind noch besser im Kampf. Sie sind noch besser im Kampf. Sie sind noch besser im Kampf. Das ist in die Cards hier, Leis.
01:26:23 I'm really excited to see. Again, I just want to go back to Great Fanta. I think they were top three or top four in World's Edge after the Wingman pop-off. Top two right now in that first point of store point. The only thing is to go up from here, Lace, and maybe a dub is in the cards for them very soon. That's it. They're just biding their time, and I definitely feel like that is going to happen. You know, we're looking at, you know, Barbecue as well. They're sitting at the...
01:26:47 Sie hatten die Top-At-The-Start. So, Sie haben noch ein bisschen an improvement. Aber ja, ein paar von diesen Teams, Sie haben noch nicht sogar einen Advanced-Starting, sind soaring durch es. Aber wir waren vorhin schon über die Legend-Picks und wie Lifeline ist zurückgekehrt. Wir watch Pro-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-League-A-Le
01:27:16 I am very happy to see it. When I started playing Apex all the way when it came out in Season 1, I was a patty main.
01:27:45 Es ist verrückt, dass es diese Konfiguration ist. Aber natürlich, Bloodhound, Bangalore und Caustic sind die Top-3-Pick für einen guten Grund. Es gibt so viel Kontroll, der Scan Agent. Caustic ist wirklich der Top-Controller für viele von diesen Teams. Und ich denke, wenn man ein Caustic sieht, kann man einfach nur einen Caustic haben. Weil wenn man nicht den Legend hat, kann man in die Gas spielen, dann wird man in die Trouble. Pathfinder, Lifeline, Revenant Teams benutzen ihre extra Mobility zu versuchen, das zu ermöglichen.
01:28:12 The results sometimes speak for themselves, and that's why the Caustic Method still reigns supreme here. Exactly right. And I don't think if you were there at that point, we were with Elfish, but I was having a chat with Genome, and we sort of said, what characters would we like to see? And both Genome and I agreed about Pathfinder. So usually we have like a Caster's Curse, where it all goes wrong, but I came up with the Caster's Crutch. So the more that we put out that we want Pathfinder in this lobby, the more it happens. And that's exactly what we're seeing today, Dax. So I...
01:28:41 Ich werde hier sitzen und sagen, ich möchte Octane ein bisschen mehr sehen, ich möchte Jumpy Boy ein bisschen mehr sehen und ich hoffe, jemand wird es gewinnen. Ich weiß, die Pathfinder ist gut und ich weiß, dass Octane nicht mehr sein wird, aber wenn man die Mobilität such as Pathfinder ist, dann geht es auf Octane und dann haben Lifeline, um die Pieces, Dax. Ich meine, wir haben eine neue Update zu sehen, diese Potenzialen, neue Configurations, richtig? Das ist warum wir diese Legend Perks haben, sozusagen.
01:29:10 There is extra bit of utility, extra choice. Pathfinder provides that. If you can pick between Survey Beacon as well as Ring Console, it's up to you which one you want. I'm surprised, though, you don't ask for more Mad Maggie Lace. Come on, do you not want more of a job? Okay, just because I sound like her doesn't mean I play her. You know what? I will rock up into Longshot one day with a Mad Maggie cosplay. Just watch this space, okay? It might be terrible, but we'll do it. But, you know, we did.
01:29:40 We just had ourselves the schedule there. We're going to head into Match 4 shortly back on Stormpoint. But here we go, looking at Pathfinder and why people are choosing them, Dax. You know, Parthi was massive when we first started Competitive Apex. It was always Pathfinder, Gibraltar and Watson. And then obviously a short little break. And then now we have Perks moving in, Dax. So if you take us through a little bit about Pathfinder, I don't know exactly what more people are choosing with the Perks with Pathfinder.
01:30:09 But you know what? We will have to sit back and wait for that anyway, because we are going to head into match number four, Dax. Let's see some more parties. Let's see some more lifelines. We want to see more action. Let's take it away.
01:30:25 Yeah, I mean, they're obviously...
Strategische Entscheidungen und überraschende Wendungen im Wettbewerb
01:30:52
01:30:52 Starting from a much lower spot than some of the others. We're seeing the rare use of the Single Fire Hemlock there come out from Remarkable Team. Love to see it. Great for tapping at long range. I feel like it's underused, personally. As we get a look at that next zone, it's actually going to be switching over towards the east this time. So teams that are, I mean, Killen v. Control. They're a team that I actually, you know, didn't mind the look of during some of the earlier rounds, but they have not.
01:31:21 Um, they've been really kind of struggling a little bit so far today. I mean, if they land towards the eastern side, right, they struggle to make it all the way towards the bean area in that last game. And kill and be control, it takes a while for them to warm on up. I've seen them lose a clutch.
01:31:41 1v1 gegen Monkey King from yesterday. But then the next game, they won the 3v3 against them to take that dub on World's Edge. It seems like the Killing Vegan need a bit of time to really get heated into the series. The concern really though, less games really to work with if someone finishes off the job early on. The Conbros though, on the other hand, this is another team in the top three. One of the biggest surprises from yesterday's games in the Pro League qualifiers. And Gino, I kind of want to...
01:32:09 Ich kann euch die Geschichte von Schakan Bros. hier, wenn ich mir Zeit habe. So... Da sind drei Reasons, warum sie hier sind. Da sind drei Reasons, warum. Der erste ist, dass eine unglaubliche Clutch von einem der Spieler in Tussito Station ist. Ich glaube, es war der Caustic-Player, der konnte das mit dem Triple Take machen. Und der zweite ist...
01:32:31 Was them getting into 2nd place in that final game, being 1 point ahead of T4, who lost 3v3 vs Monkey King, who rezzed in front of them. So, Chacon Bros, so many things had to align for them to make it to today. Was that the one near Trials? Where the team, like, yeah, they literally brought back 2 members, like, as the last zone was closing, there were only 3 teams left. That was one of the wildest respawns I've seen in my life. Yep, and...
01:33:00 Ja, Schaakon bros, ich freue mich zu sehen. Ich liebe diese kinder Teams zu sehen, wo sie so klein sind, aber sie zeigen, warum sie hier spielen können. Ja, Schaakon bros, ich freue mich zu sehen, was sie machen. Ground Zero zu einem Team, das kann wirklich in, und zu gehen und zu gehen. Ja, sie sind kinder auf die Net, die Dragnet, gerade jetzt. Weil sie sind auf die Seite von Tru.
01:33:21 And they're set up outside of Echo HQ. You saw them, I think we saw them just before. Uh, you know, barreling a couple of bullets in there, doing some damage. And True are trying to work out how they can escape this. But they've just waited there. You can see with Kobe, that actually might have been a defensive Revenant ult. Yeah, exactly right. You need to use the Forge Shadows just to not get knocked down there. And True playing the waiting game, but now they're the ones...
01:33:50 Knowing that they have the advantage, Rogers with Nate on out Looking to see if we can actually catch anyone from Ground Zero from above Thru, they're playing the lower ground here, Hizzi sees it coming Rogers, 1 HP somehow survives! We'll be able to go for the reset, but this is dangerous for Thru and Ground Zero, they will do the lobby a big favor if they knock down Thru early on here I'm very surprised that Ground Zero hesitating here, they literally had Rogers on 1 HP there, that was the time to go
01:34:20 Und mit ein paar Nades. Ich fühle mich nicht so, dass sie nicht so viel in die Positionen in die Winderung haben. Sie haben zu absoluten können, auf Instinkt in diesen Situationen. Ich meine, das ist was Tommy Bug mit Lace.
01:34:36 Also, Kentung kann nicht sein. Und Prevail...
01:35:04 Sie haben nicht so viel impact in die Lobby. Vielleicht starten hier.
01:35:08 Ja, scant few points for these guys so far. They have scared off both of those other players, and it looks like Hickeyz isn't going to be able to... Oh, is he actually going to go back for those banners? Oof, anyway. We'll keep you updated on that one as we head back towards Stormcatcher and the surrounds. Great banter.
01:35:35 They're actually set further over towards Cascade Falls. And they do not have this information. Because, of course, they don't have a control character. So, just taking a little bit of a guess here. You know, there's a couple of teams around them. Might be a bit of a red herring, honestly, right? I mean, you see a couple of other teams. You have to try and draw inferences from that. And they might be getting the wrong kind of signals coming out from Kill Devil and BLT who surround them.
01:36:03 I mean, they do have a redhead in the lifeline, so, you know, I'll give you that one. But yeah, you said it. Killdevil facing off against them towards Cascade Falls. They're the ones actually who have, they all even have the incel 2, I think. I'm looking at them right now. Even with the caustic, I don't think they have the know-how there. Scandal by the Survey Beacon, that's a little bit of danger. HAUF, the ones nearby on the ski lift, the one squad with the Watson.
01:36:31 Looking at Stormcatcher, it's getting crowded. Kill and Beat Control, happy to have the ring pulled their way. It's not going to be a struggle this time. Even more so in the Stormcatcher right now. So that extra elevation will mean a happier time for Kill and Beat Control here. Yeah, I mean, I was looking at these guys at the start of the round, right? Because they've actually been incredibly fortunate in one way, in that they got both spawns for the beacons, right? They got...
01:36:55 Beacon Spawn, they got the Ring Console and the Survey Beacon. They also had two Evo Harvesters very close to Stormcatcher. And it's very rare to get that in any POI, right? And I don't think they actually... Yeah, just looking at their Evo amounts, I don't think they got either of them. Essentially, they looted, they scanned both Beacons, and then they were like, you know what, we're betting on this being Stormcatcher, so we're just going to sit up here...
01:37:21 Und das macht es schwierig, weil es ihnen nicht mehr viel Loot und Attachments gibt. Und es bedeutet sie sind auch noch weit entfernt von Purple. Es gibt keine Lifeline auf dem Team zu feeden in Evo Cache. So, ja, es wird interessant zu sehen, wie die Entscheidung funktioniert in der Ende für Kill&Beer Control.
01:37:38 Ich denke, ich denke, ich bin nicht entstanden.
01:38:07 I'll give you the points there. And speaking of the points, MXF will get it against Prevail. Again, MXF, really, a squad that's been hunting. I've heard that they've had even some better scrim partners lately, giving a lot of credence, really, to how they prepared for the Pro League qualifiers.
01:38:23 Und es ist Paying Dividend. Die Leute sind so viel besser als vorher. Sie sind jetzt auf die Avengers, die sich jetzt auf die AVENGERS haben, die voll Reset haben. Also, Heike ist. Er ging auf die Reise nach dem Norden Oasis. Er hat sich zurückgebracht, um den Bannern zu bekommen. Und es sieht aus wie sie bereit sind. Das ist TRÜV. Wir gehen jetzt nach der anderen Seite auf Stormcatcher's Gravity Cannon.
01:38:48 Ja, so true, zu dem in die Bottom. Es gibt ein paar Teams, so sie werden können in diesem Spot gehen können. Sie haben hier schon early genug. Sie sind sogar über die Evo Harvester, weil diese Leute sind sehr nahe zu Purples. Plus ein Evo Harvester, ein bisschen damage. All drei of sie müssen gehen und werden das zweite Perk. So das könnte eigentlich sein, eine KEY DECISION.
01:39:15 Ja, Schikanns, bros. Acquaintance might know that they're in this position. Eventually spots them, pings them out, actually. He's on the Bloodhound, so. Schikanns bros has an angle to work with MXF, though still the contender towards the north hunting down Great Fatah, who's near the Grav Cannon.
01:39:40 A little bit of danger if they use that just because Monkey King is on the other side of it. So really these rotation paths, they're getting cut here Genome. And really the teams that got early into the zone, we're finally seeing them getting rewarded here in this session of games.
01:39:55 Finally. A taste of success here. Third spot, not too bad. Cold in Hell currently sitting in second spot. Just having a look at that ticker up the top there. Hill Devil moving up. Great Fanta moved into sixth now on BBQ. So a lot of those names that we were expecting are in there. I don't know, maybe Great Fanta is the one that's sort of surprising here considering their spot.
01:40:23 als sie heute kamen.
01:40:51 So getting rewarded, and speaking of now, next ring looking likely to be for NumNum and Starshine who have opposite sides of the next area. Yeah, I mean, that's crazy, right? Like, Shakan's bros as well. They had literally the last spot in elimination, you know, you took us through that whole journey for them, and now they are in potentially a spot to make Pro League, and I think that just shows you how differently some of these lobbies play out.
Intensive Kämpfe und entscheidende Momente im Apex Legends Wettbewerb
01:41:20
01:41:20 Seems like the Avengers, they finally get found their BLT. The ones to take that KP. Kill Devil actually cold in hell having a bit of their own skirmish on the southern ski lift. So that's a big fight to watch out for. Kill Devil is a strong contender cold in hell. What in the top three right? They're both really trying to fight for that split two position.
01:41:42 Was ist eine Showcase, wenn man die Paddys online bekommt.
01:42:09 Ich weiß nicht, dass er ein MSJ macht, wenn er auf der Barbeke kommt? Absolut, du kennst das. Das hat die Flavor, Gino!
01:42:20 I'm just speaking with my stomach right now because I'm really hungry, but I could go for some of that myself. Shikans bros on the other side are getting into it. There's so many teams now as this ring closes that are going to have a lot to worry about. Down on this side you've got Kill Devil. They're the ones taking on
01:42:43 Und... Oh, es ist ein schwerer Fight hier, aber es ist ein 1v1 für den Schikerns, Bro! Und, unfortunately, Scholar hat es nicht Klutzt ihn aus. Es ist Bolin, der Mann, der hat es getan, auch an Land vorhin, zu bekommen. Und, unfortunately, er wird nicht sein. Und nicht das ist für Scholar. Er kann Klutzt ihn aus, aber nicht hier heute. Bolin! BELIEVE, Gino! BELIEVE, dass er alive ist!
01:43:11 Und ich bin nicht 100% sicher, aber ich denke, dass er seine Input von M&K zu Controller verändert hat. Das ist etwas zu wirklich aufhören, als Tru's auch Eliminated hier ist, eigentlich. Und sie haben ihn in den Top 15, also dass sie nicht genug sind, um den nächsten Punkt zu sein. HKUF, wir sehen uns nach dem. Sie haben Marock zu arbeiten, sie sind in Cover. Und jetzt nebenbei, ich denke, das ist ein Squadron Whiteflash, der sich um den Impact zu machen.
01:43:37 Yeah, look, that's actually, that'd be actually, whoa, okay. Sorry, just some, yeah, some nice 30 shots coming out of there. I mean, if Bolin has done that, I mean, A, I'm going to be really sad as, you know, a member of Team MNK, but also I'd be like, I was looking at this team and being like, I feel like Bolin should be able to carry literally an entire team on his back if they were, if they were like dolphins in front of a controller or a mouse and keyboard, because he's that good in this kind of lobby.
01:44:07 So, I don't know, maybe that's one of the reasons why he's, you know, he's struggling to be as impractical as he used to. I mean, he still put in the work, especially from the other days. And McSeth, though, a little bit of trouble here. Arturo is the only one still standing, and they went after Monkey King. It's still as even as can be. Arturo is still getting the shield back in time. Cover there, but HKUF, they smell blood in the water. Evac Tower also being set. Wong Kong Falcons...
01:44:35 Oh, MXF geht in 12.
01:44:50 Und als es schafft ein bisschen, uh... ...underneath Stormcatcher, jetzt... Sie haben noch nicht fully gecheckt das Genome. Monkey King resets as a 3-0! Das ist... Das ist ein bisschen... ...ein ein Miss-Read, vielleicht, für HVUF. Und jetzt sind sie in Kill-NV-Control, als Kill-Devils eliminiert. Easy shots in Kill-NV-Control. Sie können die Harvesters early auf. Jetzt sehen sie easy targets von unten.
01:45:17 Und sie bekommen mit der Purple Armour. Whiteflash, auf der anderen Seite. Hier kommt die Action. Und es wird Whiteflash geteilt. Die 2. Immediately. Ground Zero bringen in die Pain. Hizzie mit der Damage. Absolute Decimation von Ground Zero. Aber wait, da ist mehr. Sato und die Rest sind zu finden. These APs. Numnim will take advantage of the Chaos. Sie bekommen die Eliminations. Und sie sind wieder in Position.
01:45:43 Das ist MASSIVE für Numnim. Sie nehmen Godspot. Das ist genau da, wo die Circle ist. Aber im Moment, es ist absoluter Chaos von all diesen Teams, die sind von Stormcatcher. Cold in Hell, we're there, waiting für sie. Aber einige Khorstic-Ults nehmen sie von diesen Positionen. Das ist es. Du kannst sehen, dass es so viele andere Teams ist, waiting für das Resultat. Wir haben viele Solos, tatsächlich, zu sehen, ob sie vielleicht ein Resonieren können, aber nein.
01:46:09 Cold in Hell are picking up some kills, and it's moved them into first place. Now in 47 points, they are knocking on the door of that match point eligibility. And this is a team that can get back-to-back wins. Is it a possibility as Cold in Hell hunt for even more? Monkey King, they need to be tricksters to get out, but there is no tricking and no getting away from Cold in Hell. They have the whole lift under control.
01:46:35 Ich denke, es wird die Läge von KZ und der Rest. Das Remarkable Team will nicht mehr in die Aktion hier sein. Okay, so ein bisschen high ground jetzt. Aber ich habe eine kurze Zeit, um die Zeit zu lösen, um das Spiel zu lösen. Und dann haben sie einfach zu machen. Und das Remarkable Team hat tatsächlich den E-Back gemacht. Aber sie haben einen E-Back genommen. So die anderen zwei müssen zurückgehen.
01:47:05 Ich werde versuchen es zu gehen.
01:47:11 Remarkable Team to drop back down and into the waiting arms of Starshine Esports. Cold in hell while this happens. They were ready to take advantage of the Chaos and look to get back in position. NumNym though, they see that there is 3 KP nearby. And here comes NumNym now to pick apart the bones of Remarkable Team. Starshine, same can be said, but they're in a lesser situation. They need to get back their armor and fast. NumNym still putting on the pressure. And Sato and the rest look to see what they
01:47:40 Ja, diese Final Four-Teams sind live! Ich dachte, die Teams auf der Top-Wut haben eine Chance, aber nein! Ein weiterer E-Vac, ein weiterer E-Vac, ein weiterer E-Vac, ein weiterer E-Vac in der Sky-Wed-Dive. Jetzt, Kold in Hell... Actually, Sie haben... Sie haben... Sie haben... Sie haben... Sie haben... Sie haben... Sie haben... Sie haben... Sie haben... Sie haben...
01:48:08 Damage going in from the Mad Maggie Drills on the other side of this, but it's only hitting the traps at this point. Num Nim.
01:48:18 We've got a little bit of cover here. You can see Barbecue are trying to bide their time down the bottom behind that rock as well. Barbecue, they don't want to jump the gun. It's the big reason why they lose against Cold and Hell in these final circles. And really numbing them. They have cover, yes, but the circle's not going to be on their side. This ring will force them to go out of that cover into the sidelines here of Cold and Hell in Starshine Esports.
01:48:45 They're the ones stuck in the middle of all this action. This is going to get very close soon. I do not feel positive about Starshine Esports spot right here. They are going to get clapped on at any moment. As you can see, Caustic Gas coming in towards them. Sato might have a chance. The rest of them are going to get cleaned up so quickly. The Gas, the Gas.
01:49:09 It just hurts the rest of NumNim. And you said it's Starshine Esport, the first to fall. But Cold in Hell have other plans. Barbecue, the rivals from before. Eyes are wide open for Cold in Hell right now. They know the priority. They know the target. And they want to spill the blood of Barbecue here. Yzone down for the count. Cold in Hell looking for more. They're already eligible for match point here, Genome. But a dove will be even better. Cold in Hell!
01:49:37 You can raid the room already. Temperature is set. They're looking to hunt down the final few members of NumNim. And Gold in Hell are gonna be the winners of this one.
01:49:48 Epic finish off from them, they just escaped that absolutely wild scene Over at the little zip house there and managed to take out the win as well Very well done and you know not only in style ways, but they've also managed to bring up match point
01:50:08 Exactly right. Cold and Hell, they made like a really smart rotate from the top of the hill there just to sort of push themselves to a bit of the left when, you know, having all those teams and forcing them just to fight it out.
Matchpoint-Szenarien und Teamstrategien im Finale
01:50:1901:50:19 But just exceptional play from them. And it was, yeah, it was just biding their time and just cleaning up the mess that was happening at the top there. You know, we have a lot of skill in today's matches, Gene. You know, currently we have a few teams itching closer to match points. So it's going to be very exciting to see who's there. You know, True was at 45. They were very close, but I think they might have been knocked out a little bit early. You know, we'll touch on that shortly.
01:50:45 Yeah, they didn't seem to sort of clutch that up, but you know what? It's still a few matches after this. I think Killdevil even, you know, falling out a little bit sooner there as well. Great Fanta, Gino, being knocked out at about 13th. I know we had high hopes for them to win this match, but, you know, their performance today, it's still very possible for them.
01:51:07 Yeah, I mean, they did go out a little early, but they're sitting definitely around that bubble in terms of teams who can make it through being in that top 8. Yeah, you just see Cold in Hell here. I mean, look at the damage numbers, the kill numbers. They had 15 kills that game, Lace. Just unbelievable amounts of destruction being wrought by this team.
01:51:34 Ja, genau richtig. Numb Nym looked wirklich ...
01:51:38 Slow and steady. But, you know, they had a big fight sort of popping over that wall. But, you know, it's still good. They still popped up in that second position there, as we can see, with six KP along the way. So, you know, they fought really hard to get to that second place, having, you know, Barbecue and Starshine on their tail. But, yeah, Cold and Hell kind of just sitting pretty at the other side. And, yeah, look at that, Gino. 15 kills for them. And the damage that they've put out as well. You know, they are one of our top teams. They came in with, you know, a couple of...
01:52:08 I guess the standing point, sorry, the advanced points. So this is going to be really good for them. Yeah, I mean, no other team in this lobby gets over, what is it, four? Okay, Numnim grabs six in second place, but they pick up 15. That is just such a phenomenal amount. And yeah, look, Cold in Hell now on match point. The others, Shroom Barbecue, they're getting close up there. But gosh, if Cold in Hell were playing like that, you almost expect them to...
01:52:37 Um, to take out the next game as well. Exactly right. Like, of course, we're, uh, we're going to play six matches today. Teams need to hit 50 for match point eligibility. So yeah, we just have cold in hell reaching that threshold, but yeah, true barbecue, even MXF, um, you know, itching behind close enough. So we're going to have, you know, these teams battle it out just to hit that, um, you know, that, that threshold, uh, we have.
01:53:02 8 teams heading on through to Split 2, so obviously our winners and then the top 7 teams from that get to play in Split 2 Pro League. So no money as we say, Genome, but you know, that chance to play in Pro League is something that these teams would be incredibly excited for. Yeah, I mean, I think it's kind of money, right? Because it's like, if you make it to Pro League, I think everyone gets something. So it is kind of guaranteed money in a way.
01:53:29 That's exactly right. So you know what? They're going to find it out for this. We're going to take ourselves a slight little break and we'll see you with a Match 5 very shortly.
01:54:24 Welcome back, everyone. California...
Ausblick auf zukünftige LAN-Events und regionale Stärken
01:54:27
01:54:27 Genome, I know that you're heading over there to be on the main stage to watch all the action unfold over there in Los Angeles. It's very exciting. I will be joining you as well from the crowd. I'll be shouting your name from the rooftop, but it's going to be very exciting for our teams that we saw in Split 1. We have our eight teams that moved over there to play in front of the world against the world's best teams, Genome. Exactly. Look, you don't need to cheer for me. You need to cheer.
01:54:56 mit mir, um, für all of our amazing teams that are coming over from APAC South. And, you know, as we say, more than ever before, even a couple of those Chinese teams that we haven't seen so much from didn't play in Pro League. Also, two slots going towards those guys. But, yeah, I mean, there's so many teams to be excited for, right? Wonton Dumpling.
01:55:19 Especially, you know, this team that's really come out on top and taken out the number one spot in our region. I'm so excited to see if Gugu holds up at LAN, because a player of that caliber, I wouldn't be surprised if he's joining the effects, the koifles of these players who just show up at their very first LAN and put up ridiculous numbers.
01:55:40 Yeah, I mean, you know, as we can see here, the big
01:56:09 The big wildcard, of course, from our Worlds Edge game was Grape Fanta, right? So will they be showing up in this map? I don't know. Shikans, bros? Moving over at Skyhook East, I think, you know, for what is not the strongest POI ever, they've been doing incredibly well. Monkey King, of course, they've got control of Skyhook West right now. Some would say that is the best.
01:56:35 POI here over on World's Edge. True, I mean, you know, they're at Lava Siphon again, sort of middle of the pack, maybe a little bit above average in terms of how powerful that is. I think, of course, you know, after that Season 20 change, you know, with our Eover Harvesters and everything, the perk system, I feel like the POIs did even out a little more across the board, so nothing is really like, you know...
01:57:00 Ja, und das ist genau richtig. Sie haben eine Chance zu haben. Wir haben immer noch die Neues, die wir hatten in Season 20 mit den Evo-Shields haben. Es ist nicht über die Droppe auf ein Purple-Shield, sondern es ist einfach nur die Neues und Focusing mehr auf das. Ja, ich sage, dass ich mit ...
01:57:24 It doesn't really matter too much where you drop now. You know, people that we had at, was it Lava, Cypher, you know, that used to be like a massive drop zone for teams, but now it kind of doesn't matter. You've got to sort of make your way around that. It's not such a high POI for a lot of people anymore, a lot of teams anymore. So, you know what, these teams can sort of just loot up quickly and move on in. But, yeah, it's just going to sort of unfold in that sense. You know, no contest really happening on this map, but hopefully we can just sort of see these teams.
01:57:54 I know that True had an excellent start to our matches today on World's Edge. They are very close to match point as well, Genome. So, you know, hopefully they can bring it back again on World's Edge and move to that match point eligibility. Yeah, I mean, I think that's a pretty good high likelihood in that next game, Lace. They've been playing very, very well today. Honestly, been quite impressed with them.
01:58:21 Ja, we were talking about how there's meant to be this high level of aggression we're seeing in this lobby, but it's dropped off a little as we sort of moved throughout this series. And I guess in the opposite direction, that certainly seems to have been working out for Cold in Hell, as you can see, who have not gotten anything less than four kill points.
01:58:48 ...a game so far, which is pretty ridiculous, and as high as 15. That is nuts.
01:58:54 Yeah, they absolutely obliterated just in StormPoints. So can they sort of replicate that again on World's Edge? Can they get that sorted? You know, the teams like True that have been dominating on that, even BLT seem to perform incredibly well on World's Edge also. So, you know, it's got to be a little bit of a challenge maybe for Cold and Hell in this, but, you know, they're warmed up, they're prepped and ready to go. You know, like you said, they're getting points on there. Can they definitely, you know...
01:59:20 Ich glaube, solidify themselves, you know, this widdle, this spot for World's Edge. But you know what? We're gearing up to head into our fifth match today, where we're going to be playing out six games, definitely. But of course, it's match point. So that means our teams need to hit the 50-point threshold, and then they need to claim themselves a win.
01:59:43 So it's easier said than done, Genome. I always be like, oh, you just got to get a win after you hit 50. But, you know, with all these other teams wanting to fight for that too, it's not that easy. So Colton Hill, you know, our first team to match point eligibility there with 64. True, Barbecue, MX, you know, very close behind. Yeah, I mean, there's been a couple of teams, right, that have really just been, you know...
02:00:09 Absolutely dialing it in throughout this entire process, and they are essentially the ones at the top there. I think that sort of like 4-8 range has been a little bit more interesting in terms of what we've seen today. You know, as we were talking about, Great Fanta just holding on to that 8th spot. But yeah, definitely those bottom couple of spots that are going to lead directly into Pro League.
02:00:34 Very much up for grabs right now. I mean, Cold and Hell, I think, you know, they've probably solidified that regardless because whether they qualify via winning match point or, you know, or someone else does it, I doubt that they're going to be overtaken in terms of points at 64 already.
02:00:54 Yeah, exactly right. Because, you know, you've got the winners of today, but then you've also got the top seven teams after that. So because of that, I guess that Storm Point game with 15 kill points, that really did push them up to, you know, heading into split two. So, you know, they're not going to take a back seat, we'd say, but they're still going to, you know, battle it out and make sure that they are definitely in that top eight. But they're looking really good now. You know, Chicanes Bros as well, Gino, you know, they did incredibly.
02:01:23 well in our first two matches. You know, it's going to be good to see them, I guess, back on World's Edge and cleaning up again, so hopefully that they can solidify themselves in that Top 8. Yeah, I think not only them, but there's also a bunch of other teams down the bottom there, at least, that have a really good chance to actually make a comeback. I mean, we've seen big things from, like, you know, Monkey King, I think even BLT at times.
02:01:46 In some of those teams, Hill and B control. Yeah, again, teams that we've seen shine in certain moments throughout this tournament. And, you know, sure, have a big game or two. All of a sudden, you're thinking about that eighth spot. And, you know, they'll be seeing a whole lot more of us. And we'll be seeing a whole lot more of them come Split 2.
Teamzusammensetzungen und Match Point Eligibility in Spiel 5
02:02:06
02:02:06 Exactly. And as we move over to World's Edge, obviously we saw the Parthy in the Lifeline meta. I think Lifeline had about six picks on the teams. We saw plenty of Bloodhounds. I don't know if in our first few matches, they really sort of focused on that meta. We sort of change it back to, I guess, the Corsic, Bloodhound, Bangalore sort of meta that they have here. I wonder if teams are going to take what they did on Stormpoint with a lot of the Lifelines and the Parthys into World's Edge. Yeah, well, I mean,
02:02:36 It looks like, having a look at these team compositions that we've seen so far, obviously, yeah, it's pretty heavily in favor of the top one there. But as you move down, it becomes a little more scarce. Lifeline Pathfinder Revenant is pretty fun, pretty cool. A bit of Watson coming in. It's interesting to see her be sort of the second highest controller legend at the moment. And then, I guess, you know, what is interesting...
02:03:04 Next up there, you've got the Bangalore, Horizon, and Mad Maggie. And as we were just loading into that game, I think we may have had another reset, unfortunately. But that, obviously, is what Cold in Hell was taking it out with. And they've decided to go back to that on World's Edge as well. So, yeah, I really think those guys just absolutely dominate on that.
02:03:27 Very aggressive style of composition. Very reminiscent of, you know, some of the EMEA teams we've seen in the past go for those kind of compositions as well.
02:03:40 Yeah, I guess teams sort of take into the consideration of, you know, if they're the smaller of the World's Edge map, right? It's more third party dominant. It's more quick to go. So you won't really see, you know, teams doing that want to play more of aggressive sort of play style. But we're just going to take ourselves a quick little break while we get our match underway. And we're going to head into match five on World's Edge very shortly.
02:08:00 That's all right. And just a short little break there as we head on into match number five. We're going to see the likes of True and MXF get themselves to match point eligibility here on World's Edge. Genome, it's going to be exciting stuff. And as we roll on in, let's take it away. This is match number five on World's Edge.
02:08:30 It may be summertime in the heat, but Cold in Hell is ready to set the world on fire. Genome, Cold in Hell is on match point eligibility. If they take this win, they are done for the session. They are going to split two and we'll get a final game six for all of the other teams. We're back on World's Edge and I gotta ask you pretty much the question right now. The elephant in the room, can Cold in Hell take it or will someone else be able to stop them here?
02:08:58 Oh man, that's a big call. Look, I wouldn't be surprised. I'd put it at like a 50% likelihood, honestly. If they play like they did last game, honestly, it feels like no one else in this lobby is on the same page, is playing the same game as them. What I want to know, Dax, is like, cold in hell. Like, it's a bit of an odd name, right? Like, do you reckon it's been translated weirdly or something? Like, do you reckon it's...
02:09:27 Es ist irgendwie so, wie Hell Freezes Over oder so?
02:09:32 Ich weiß nicht, man. Ja, weil es ist wie gesagt, es ist wie ein Cold Day in Hell, die Leidenschaft von ihnen zu kommen. Und dann haben sie auch 3 Wins. Ja, sie haben 3 Wins von gestern. Sie sind die Team von den ersten Challenger-Circuit. Und jetzt sind sie die einzige Team in Eligibility. Und wenn du sie auf der Logo-Genome sehen, dann ist es Cold in Hell. Ich glaube nicht, dass es eine Mistranslation ist. Das ist die Brand hier.
02:09:59 All right, I've just got to get on the train, apparently.
02:10:05 And I think certainly a lot of the audience might be doing the same with how well these guys are playing Sydney firmly in that first spot right now. Of course, after that last win, you know, they rock up here in World's Edge. I mean, they're even landing over towards the epicenter, which is like really not...
02:10:32 Ich meine, wir waren über wie es, wie es, wie es ebenen ist, um, die Epicenter ist, uh, es kann ein bisschen schwer sein, um, sie haben, wow, sie haben, ja, ich meine, sie haben 0 Beacon Characters von jedem Kind, right? Ja. Ja. Ja, was ich gesagt habe, wenn sie eine gute Rede auf was der Ring kann, sie sind so gut und set für den Rest des Spiel.
02:10:59 But how do they even figure that out? It's a big mystery sometimes, but they do get there in the first place. And one's already knocked down here for HKUF Runsacker. Yeah, he can't even run away from Collapse. So that's a big pick up there from, I do believe, Crazy of Grape Fanta. One already gone. I do want to mention it though that Cold in Hell, they don't really declare a drop spot really. They're just like wherever we can go and eventually they see where it's free.
02:11:26 Und sie sind in den Likes des Markable Team. Du hast FBKW also in der Position, als dieses Ring ist ein bisschen reminiscent von einem ersten Ring a long ago, als FBKW sieht Kontakt. Oh, go Cookie, go! Das ist ein großartiges Beam, einfach nur für den Corsik. Und es sieht aus wie der Corsik kommt, aber es ist noch nicht so glücklich.
02:11:51 ist hier zu versuchen, zu holen FBKW zu holen. Cold in hell, sie zippen in. Sie wollen die fighten gehen, und sie wollen sie jetzt sehen. X-Ray, down to 2. FBKW realize, es ist mehr als sie bargained für. Tasting Blood, sie versuchen in den Weg, als Cold in hell sieht die Kontakt. Missile Swarm, von Valkyrie. Remarkable Team ist der einzige,
02:12:19 Kold in hell, hier kommt der Wrecking Ball! Absolute damage mit ihm! Black Hole ist in position, um zu halten! Und FBKW, sie haben einen ersten Blut in den Spiel genommen, aber sie sind die ersten Eliminationen hier. Die ersten Eliminationen? Usually, Kold in hell sind die ersten Reden zu haben, weil sie das amazing...
02:12:43 Incredible amounts of damage that they output and how early in the game, how willing they are to take fights and get that damage through their evos. So, nice little start off for them there. And I can tell you that's even going to be potentially a very good spot to play zone from. So, holding hell already, putting their mark on Game 5.
02:13:04 Oh, but MXF, this is huge for them versus KVK. Controlled action, beautiful coverage used there by Artorias. But AVG and the rest of Kensong, here comes the Avengers now. Are moving in, come to collect. Assemble is an understatement. It is just eradication onto the opposition. MXF, they don't even see this coming. And the Avengers here picking up where their opponents left off from.
02:13:35 So they'll be taking up that spot. They've got a lot of the ring to themselves, plenty of evo harvesters to run through on the way into Overlook and the surrounds where most of the teams are sort of gathering. There's actually just kind of like two different circles of teams right now. There's the ones in Overlook and then there's about five or six teams who are very much playing a little bit of edge and taking their way in. And these edge teams are actually finding one another.
02:14:02 Und ich glaube, das ist warum wir so viel action haben, auch in verschiedenen Teilen der Mappen. Es ist alles über die Skirmishes, bevor sie in die Richtung gehen. In der Vault-Tunnel, Kildevill, auf den Weg in die Staircase, collapse!
02:14:18 Es ist ein 1v1. Es ist ein bisschen ein Reset hier.
02:14:45 Und Niko, he's got the ultimate there, so he can still bring out the shield jammers if he wants to. He's gonna put them down the bottom. This is a really smart option. It allows him to get the res off. Makes it hard, but no! It was such a smart play, but unfortunately Barbecue is going to come in from the other angle, and that would suggest that Kill Devil is also about to meet their end.
02:15:13 Yep, und es ist nicht even Barbecue gettet, es ist Prevail auf der anderen Seite. Wir hatten zwei Teams fighten für Vault Tunnel. Will wir noch zwei Teams machen? Hier, Genome, es ist Barbecue und Prevail. Think about it real quick, Prevail decides to disengage. Ja, das ist nicht eine gute Situation für Loki und Co. zu sein, weil sie in 8 waren, sie brauchen mehr Punkte, um das kind of pace zu machen.
02:15:41 um, dass sie das Pro-League-Spot hier haben.
Strategische Spielzüge und Teamkämpfe auf World's Edge
02:16:05
02:16:05 Very much so. 16 points is still quite a ways off that pace though, Dax. I think it was maybe up to 29 points or something when we were going into this game. So obviously that's going to tick up by a few more, which means they definitely need to perform well in this game and the next probably if they want to start giving themselves a chance at playing Pro League next split. Yeah, and checking the scoreboard real quick. 28 points.
02:16:35 Oh, man.
02:17:04 That is insane that not only do they get that early pick there onto the other team, but also just managed to pick a fantastic spot in the circle too. This is huge for them. And, you know, of course they can win it this game. We would still play the game six out just without cold inhale. They'd be sitting on the sidelines just, you know, just having a snack and watching along with the rest of us.
02:17:32 Es ist ein Minimum 6-Games, aber sie sind die einzige Team currently auf Match Point. Ja, ich meine, sie werden sich nicht mehr in Split zu sein, das ist für sicher, aber... DLT, B1 von Afar, Uba versucht, um, zu machen, um, zu machen, um, zu machen, um, zu machen, um, zu machen, um, zu machen, um, zu machen, um, zu machen, um, zu machen, um, zu machen, um, zu machen, um, zu machen, um, zu machen, um, zu machen, um, zu machen.
02:17:57 Now, this is interesting that World Edge has played out very differently to Storm Point, very similarly to the first couple of maps we saw here on it, right? Like, lots of teams dropping early. Storm Point was a bit of a more relaxed affair until sort of Zone 2 or 3.
02:18:16 Exactly what you mentioned, right? Everyone who's stuck on opposite sides of the map when they land, they end up finding each other. But we've seen more teams this time mobilize towards Overlook. It's one, two, three, like five, six squads towards the south of Cold and Hell. But we see Monkey King and they are looking to mean business. They have the bridge right now. Aim bot.
02:18:37 Peering where BLT's at towards Climatizer. We also have a remarkable team nearby here, but this ring, it still pulls towards Golden Hell Genome. Wow. I just got that magnetism, huh? Mhm.
02:18:54 The crystal ball, really. Yeah, look, I don't know how they do with the ladies, but it's certainly working with them for these ring pulls right now. It just keeps going north. They've really got to dial the inn. A couple of other teams just sort of making their way slowly into their vicinity. Remarkable team have the building. And we've got BLT actually looking to try and go towards the caravan that will be around Cold in Hell's position.
02:19:22 Other important teams, like True, sitting in 2nd place. Again, they just need 3 points to try and give themselves a shot. They're taking out this series. Or at least getting a match point, that's the first step. Okay, fine. Rogers! True separated, there's a 2-1 split, and the Avengers take advantage of that chaos. Rackenball immediately to try and sprint towards Rogers.
02:19:45 Double Time will keep the Bangalore alive, and also the Rolling Thunder for a bit of cover. But while this happens, Monkey King also wanting a bit of that action to grab immediately. Shields, Krap there, fight the snipe from far, aim, but also looking for that contact. But True, they should be able to stabilize here. Yeah, remember, that's not the first time we've seen this from True, so they obviously like doing these big splits to try and get information to take space.
02:20:11 Um, aber dann... Obviamente, sie haben die Abilität zu disengagen, aber dieses Mal, die AVENGERS haben geschafft, dass sie richtig auf dem sind, und sie haben viel Dabbage gemacht!
02:20:22 Das war der Age of KT, aber er ist bereits für den counten. Also, Heiken, save-punishment applied! Und die Avengers eliminated instead! Wow! Was ein Turn of Events, das True ist able to build on Genome. Und ich möchte sagen, dass das, über die letzten paar Tage, da waren so viele lessons, die sie gelernt haben, in Clutch-Situationen. Sie bringen es heute.
02:20:42 Man, I've got no idea. Was that a lot of damage coming through from Monkey King that helped them out there? Because they'd taken about 200 damage without doing anything before they got in. And now all of a sudden they're having to repel Monkey King as well. The first knock comes down. And now it's all up to Rogers who's coming in from the zone. He's got the rampart prowler to try and do this with. It's a big ask.
02:21:05 Rodgers, oh Captain, the Captain truly. True has been a long time name in the Pro League qualifiers. Oh no. Has been in these Challenger circuits. But the Rez you mentioned, they're back here for Monkey King and they want to find that final member. They stay above too and Monkey King seems so strong when they get to really come together inside the truck and... Huh. Old and Hell are there again.
02:21:30 Es ist wie sie es gerade aus dem Start gekommen sind. Sie putt ein PIN auf dem Map, setzten Tents und ja, sie sitzen in ihren Hammocks, bis alle anderen wiederholten.
02:21:43 They're setting themselves up for success, that's for sure. In the best position to make it into the Pro League. Remarkable Team, same cannot be said about them. BLT will take advantage of the situation. Remarkable Team is gone. But look who's coming their way again. Monkey King are still in the action. It's not a journey to the west anymore, Genom. It's a journey to the north and a journey to find BLT here.
02:22:11 The LT are above them. They've got control of the caravan right now. And yeah, as you say, Monkey King, they've got... We'll be about a minute. Make their way in and then... I think eventually there will have to be a fight between these two teams to see who gets the west side. I guess the question is, you know, will one of the other six teams down the bottom, are they going to come in? Will it be an EVAC to get...
02:22:37 In and around this? Or will we just get the straight up 3v3 that I'm kinda hoping for right now?
02:22:42 Ich meine, es ist ein Bombardment, das ist für sicher. 7-Head, lobbing diese Nades nach dem Platz von BLT. While das passiert, Prevail, und die resten von den Sonnen-Squad versuchen sie zu finden. Aber Back to Monkey King, und eine beautiful Heartstar da, zu openen Schock. Sie versuchen durch die Smoke zu schießen, um jemanden zu knocken. All die Shields broken, jetzt. Und das ist Luna und die resten, krummling an den seams. Damage getan hier, von Monkey King. Sie wollen in den, sie wollen in den Platz nehmen. Und BLT wird geholfen.
02:23:12 They do, and they realize that they need to get in there sooner rather than later. Other teams are going to be joining them. They win it, they get the res, and they've taken this very important spot that rivals only that, really, of Cold in Hell.
02:23:38 Oh my, and cold in hell are just putting damage down upon everyone outside the circle. They're essentially sitting on the edge now and thinking, hey, yo, we can gatekeep four other teams. Like, yeah, we're probably capable of that.
02:24:03 So, mit Numnim jetzt auch zu Numnim, es ist alles um zu Monkey King. Die resten der Team sind in ein bisschen Statt des Array. Monkey King vs. Cold and Hell. Monkey King ist die einzige Team zu versuchen, Cold and Hell zu versuchen, wenn sie die Chance zu geben.
Cold in Hell sichert sich den Sieg und die Qualifikation für Split 2
02:24:23
02:24:23 they're able to perform one of the most dominating lobbies from yesterday but cold in hell is a different beast here they come to stake their claim in the split 2 and they will take this one again a back to back to qualify for split 2 man cold in hell is more like cold in the ring why don't you incredible congratulations to cold in hell of course we will have a victory lap one more game to finish off the series
02:24:52 Ja. Amazing stuff from Cold and Hell. We're still gonna get our final game, folks, for game number six, but done in five for Cold and Hell, only rivaling what really happened in APAC North, but welcome back, guys. Lace especially. What you think about that one?
02:25:11 I'm sitting here with my mouth open. What on earth? You know, match number five. What a passionate start. Losing seven teams before round two closes. And you would assume if you're match point eligible, you would take more of like a backseat and get the placement. But, you know, cold in hell cleaning up. I think it was like north of Overlook. But it seems like they just knew where the spot was to claim.
02:25:34 And that just solidified them that win for match number five. I literally, I've got goosebumps, Gino. I mean, yeah. Like, they were literally in zone six. Like, from zone one. It was a pretty crazy call. This fight right here was just like, yeah, okay, that's it. We're setting up permanent camp here. We're gonna, you know, they pretty much had time to build high rises. They were in that final spot for so long.
02:26:05 Ja, es ist einfach so insane. Sie wussten, wie sie, sie wussten, sie wussten, sie wussten, sie wussten, sie wussten. Und was wir sehen in qualifiers, und Dax und ich war schon darüber gesprochen, nicht viele Teams take position early auf.
02:26:20 In diesem sort of league, they clean up the outskirts. It's always third party after third party fighting their way in. And as we saw teams closing into Overlook there, it was just a mess on that one rock team after team just falling. Even True, I was watching, looking like they were going to go down by Avengers, but it's like they uno reversed them and Rodgers, I think, managed to secure them fifth place there.
02:26:45 mit dem Rollen-Thunder. Das ist eine der besten Dinge, die wir von True gesehen haben. Die improvements sind, auch in der letzten Jahrzehnte, mit nur Rodgers zu sein. Aber Kolden-Hill ist einfach eine andere Calle. Even mit der Composition, mit zwei Offense-Legends. Sie sind so able, die Zone zu spielen. Und dann haben sie das Position gewonnen. Sie entscheiden, dass sie jemanden kommen. Und dann ist das Final 1-V-1-V-1-V-V-V-V-V-V
02:27:14 Yeah, and I guess taking a look at this scoreboard, Monkey King had a little bit of a rough start, you know, getting taken down quite early on. But look at them popping up into second place with eight kills. They just obliterated in match number five, and that was really good to see. Also, Num Nim, who performed incredibly well on Storm Point, you know, having to fight their way out on, you know, height there. Coming in third place, Genome. So, you know, these teams, it just feels like they're getting it together in match five.
02:27:43 Of course, you know, Cold in Hell, Matchpoint eligible, taking out the win. We're still going to play out match number six. But, you know, true. Look at that. Solidifying Matchpoint as well. But we're going to, I guess, see our top, you know, we have to wait for our top seven teams who may move on to split two, Gino. Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, essentially Matchpoint kind of done and dusted at this point. Don't have to worry about that now. What we do have to worry about is who gets into those top eight spots. Cold in Hell.
02:28:10 They've wrapped up number one, by points, by match point, by any metric you want to put it really. But we look down there at...
02:28:20 8th place, which is sitting at 30 points currently, and there are a bunch of teams who are very, very close to that. HKU, Remarkable Team, Monkey King, who obviously had a very, very good Game 5 there, are now knocking on the door of Great Fanta, who, I don't know, man, they're like, their nails must be hurting at this point, because it feels like they're just holding onto the edge, and like, you know, they're down to the last bit of that. It's so...
02:28:48 zu fallen. Sie haben zwei Spiele in einem Jahr, wo sie struggled haben, aber trotzdem sind sie in 8th place.
02:28:54 Und ich will kurz kurz sagen, dass jemand über 40 Punkte über 40 kann sicher sein, dass das Splits 2 ist, wenn etwas wirklich läuft für sie. So Schikan bros, sie müssen für ein bisschen länger survive. Das ist auch für alle über sie. Aber look, wer ist in 9th place. Monkey King, nach dem 2nd place. In der letzten Spiel, sie bekommen ihre Form jetzt. Und wenn der Monkey King, die wir sehen in der finalen Spiel, ist der Monkey King, die wir in den Eliminations gesehen haben, haben wir über 100 Punkte gesehen.
02:29:23 a chance for them to sneak in.
02:29:24 You're exactly right, Dax. They're just warming up. You know, it's just been five matches, but they're just warming up at this point. And, you know, the teams are very close on that leaderboard. So we're going to see, you know, a couple of teams shuffle. So again, I'm just going to sit here draw dropped because we don't know who can sort of push their way up that leaderboard as we're only a couple of points different. And like you said, Monkey King, they were low on that leaderboard, but look what they have just done from that previous match. So, you know, they are going to be able to, you know,
02:29:53 hopefully pull out something here as well um even uh touching on again in numnim um who you know is an extravagant team uh struggling a little bit at the start but then pulling something out on on storm point and then again doing um an excellent job there in our fifth match um you know they're creeping up the leaderboard as well gino
02:30:11 Ja, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist ein, es ist
02:30:41 and X-Ray are going to be looking for every single frag they can find in this next game. Those couple of points could come in so handy in getting them over that hump. Yeah, we just need a crazy low-key wingman moment again for Great Fanta. I'm calling it now. We just need low-key, grab the wingman, pull something out of the bag, and I reckon they can definitely put themselves up in that top seven spots.
02:31:07 Ich glaube wirklich, ich werde sehen, ob jemand anders kann hier sein. Vielleicht wenn Ground Zero hat einen großen Spiel, die Avengers hat einen großen Spiel. Aber es ist wirklich, dass es jemand closest zu Grape Fanta ist. Weil, wenn Grape Fanta can survive, dann kann ich ein guter Spiel. Und das ist wirklich, was ich freue mich, wenn Loki kann diese Calls machen, um die Team alive in placements.
02:31:32 Ja, exactly right. Even Chicane Bros, sehr close there as well.
02:31:37 They have been performing very well in the first couple of matches, falling a little bit short in our last couple of ones, but I'm going to be keeping a close eye on them two moving on into our sixth game today. We've obviously played five games. We've got our match point winners cold in hell, so we will play at our sixth match because like Genome was saying, we want to make it fair for all our participants. If we saw what happened in APAC North, what are our teams winning it?
02:32:07 in four matches.
02:32:08 We thought that through a little bit, you know. We're like, give these teams a chance to sort of get their grips on things, and we're always going to play out the six matches. I think that's actually a great thing, especially for, you know, people in qualifiers where, you know, they're not used to such the heights of Pro League, but, you know, they need to have their chance to shine. It makes it, like, incredibly stressful for these teams, though, right? Because, you know, there's always, there's usually, I should say, an element of uncertainty in match point where you don't know whether it's going to be the last game or not.
02:32:37 You know, where there's always a chance that it could keep going. But now we know this is it. This is game six. We're kind of back to just like a regular Pro League series at this point. And it's like, okay, we can start seeing some silly stuff come out. We've already seen some of the teams actually try and claim Survey and Epicenter. So some teams trying to switch it around because obviously Cold and Hell are no longer playing on the next World's Edge map. So that frees up that POI.
02:33:05 Yeah, exactly right. And Dax, if you want to sort of take us through maybe what we're going to see going into match number six. I don't know if you have any sort of things to touch on. Maybe what like meta we might see. Will we see a little bit of a change up because it's going to be our last game today?
02:33:20 Ich glaube nicht so. Die Leute haben schon so lange gespielt. Sie werden sich mit den Beste zu sehen, ob sie ihre Besten können in den Split 2 erreichen können. Ich glaube, mit Cold and Hell, das ist schon so eine große Herausforderung, in terms of playing that stone. Es gibt noch mehr Teams zu spielen. Wenn sie die Daten haben, können sie in. Und noch mehr Angle für Teams wie Whiteflash.
02:33:44 ...to try and play and contend with HKUF. It's a team that we've seen try to get in position at BKW and BLT. They might be able to at least have an impact coming into this game if they find their way in. Exactly. That's incredible. So, you know, we've just had a bit of a draw dropping. Game number five. We're going to take ourselves a short break and we will see you back for our final game, game number six.
Finales Spiel und Qualifikation für Split 2 Pro League
02:37:37
02:37:37 Welcome back, everyone. We have our winners locked in for Apex South Pro League Qualifier Finals today. Cold in hell, you know, just absolutely dominated that last game. We are now going to be seeing and having a look who makes the cut to split two Pro League and battle it out with some incredible teams. You know, it's always exciting, Dax, when it comes to match point, as you just have no idea what will happen or how many games will actually...
02:38:05 We did split one, I think it was about seven or eight matches. We had, I think it was five or seven teams in match point eligibility. And then I think it was Serenity, I remember, taking it out of the rock and making it go even longer. But we come to qualifiers and we already have our team, Cold and Hell, locked in DAX. So now we're going to watch the likes of the rest of the lobby placing those top seven.
02:38:32 Wir hatten 10 games für Split 1. 10! Und dann haben wir nur 5 jetzt. Wir haben jetzt 5, also wir haben die Spiele in die Hälfte. Es war eine der größten Dinge, die ich gesehen habe, besonders mit TYK. Es war ein guter Run. Es war so gut, aber das letzte Spiel jetzt. Das ist jetzt wirklich, was es für diese anderen Teams.
02:38:54 Exactly right. So we're going to head into our final game today, Match 6 on World's Edge, to see which teams are going to head through to Split 2 Pro League. Let's take it away.
02:39:07 I mean, yeah, how risky is that?
02:39:33 But hey, they're giving it their all. They want those couple of points. And I mean, I don't know. Again, this seems to be Great Fanta. They're going for that strategy, I believe, of just trying to surprise people to completely catch them off guard when they're not expecting the contest. But obviously Great Fanta are. That gives them a big leg up. So look, they get one kill. But considering how the last couple of games have been, Dax, one kill and one point.
02:40:01 um, that could make the difference in the end, so, um, I guess the question is, where do HKUF go from now? They're actually heading towards, um, Mirage Atoile, which I think is probably not a bad option for them, because, you know, Vixeria, uh, from True is just gonna loot the, they're gonna loot the ship, but then, you know, from then on, uh, you know, there's a lot of other loot spawns that they might be able to go in for. That said, battle is not over!
02:40:29 Oh my god, so low. I mean, they literally have about
02:40:55 50 bullets between them at this point. As you can see, they're shuffling around medkits just to try and get that last little bit of health up. Obviously, taking that early contest, they don't have a lot of time to grab that loot, so another team comes in. I think this is from Countdown here, and they're very much going to try and get the better of them.
02:41:16 Und Tickle ist jetzt auf der 1. Es ist ein 2v2 für jetzt. Und GrapeFanta ist wirklich kämpft für ihre Leben, kämpft für Splitt 2. Sie halten die Opposition auf sie für jetzt. Loki ist jetzt über die Disengage hier. Er ist aus der Bullets 2. Er versucht zu gehen für die Melee. Und alles ist für ein 1v1. Luna gehts die Cliffe, und GrapeFanta ist weg. Die GrapeFanta ist weg. Und GrapeFanta ist weg. Die GrapeFanta ist weg. Und GrapeFanta ist weg. Und GrapeFanta ist weg. Und GrapeFanta ist weg. Und GrapeFanta ist weg.
02:41:42 Oh, I mean, I like the strategy here from Grey Phantom, right? But you get to pay for it in some circumstances. The other teams are reading this. BLT comes down and they had no chance. You see, they literally just run out. They actually played the start of the fight very well. They hit a lot of their shots. They were actually ahead. You know, the Conduit Radiant Transfer certainly helping them out. But at the end, they were swinging. They were swinging for the hill, but it wasn't enough.
02:42:12 Look, this game, it will go down to minimal points here, Genome. Griefing is the way, truly. And FBAW...
02:42:20 Es ist Hase und Blood da. Sie finden die Target. Und das ist noch ein KB für den Show. Und wirklich, Kabar ist jetzt mit der Elimination von Graef Fanta. Alle Teams können advantageen. Aber MXF ist jetzt der Fall für die Aggressors hier. Jetzt geht es um Skyhook. Gibt es zu jemanden nebenbei. So Monkey King verlieren. Und wenn MXF kann Monkey King hier aufhören, Monkey King verliert auf der Chance.
02:42:46 Das ist ein sehr guter Punkt, Dax. Das ist ein sehr guter Punkt. Ich meine, ich glaube, wenn wir durch die Pre-Season Qualifiers waren, die die vor Split-One waren, ein paar von diesen Teams got lucky, right? Ein paar von den Teams, die eigentlich die Cut-Off, um, sie dann...
02:43:00 It makes me think, Chinam, if there's a team you don't want to see in Pro League.
02:43:29 Why not hunt them down? And MXF is doing just that. They know Monkey King. They land towards Skyhook West, if I remember correctly. They do have Thru nearby. Thru doesn't want to get in this kind of situation. They're only going to be happy to take third party. And instead, who's chipping in to the potential contact here? It's a remarkable team in position from the train tunnels.
02:43:59 Yeah, with the duo of Monkey King on either side of Skyhook right now. They've actually just been scanned on the survey beacon. Was that a nearby one, though? Maybe not.
02:44:14 Does MXF are going towards that one at the moment? Maybe Asaren can grab that info and then start hunting down some of these rats. Looks like it could be a Survey Camp, maybe even a train station sort of ending here. Look who's swarming over Survey Camp. True's here. We also have FPKW, but the one in the middle is Shakan Bros. And I wonder how the game state really shifts.
02:44:42 Well that's the thing, right? I mean, you know, if you're close to the top eight, you can afford to play a bit more conservatively and hope that you just get a couple placement points, couple of kills.
02:45:08 Ja, aber dieses Ring, es wird weg von Surveycamp und auf die Tränen Tränen später. Also, alle hier in Surveycamp sind für Rude Awakening, als wir sehen, die Confirmation, da auf dem Map. Instead, Remarkable Team Prevail, sie sind die besten in den besten Spot zu gehen.
02:45:36 I'm also looking at who can actually meet one another. You have Barbecue coming in from Staging, moving perhaps towards where Landslide is, where Ground Zero is. And who else can actually find one another? Avengers. They've struggled all throughout the game. They've had some good contact points, yes, and some good fights, but it hasn't really amounted to points here as Remarkable Team are also in Survey Camp.
02:45:59 Um, look, Survey Camp's still in for now, Dax. So, uh, when this next vehicle does get revealed, it'll be interesting to see, uh, a bit of an exodus from that P.O.Y. as people start making their way towards the train tracks. I mean, there's even a lot that'll be coming up, uh, from the bottom that should be in a decent spot, right? Like, Barbecue still making their way in Ground Zero. Um, you also got H.U.K.F. and M.X.F.
02:46:28 Um, these guys are gonna walk into a southern end of the zone that is basically unoccupied right now. They'll be able to find spots in Monument, uh, you know, check out the Evo Harvester's replicators there, and then potentially, if they're really cottoned on, um, maybe even go further towards Train Station. Yeah, there's always that chance, especially if they get pinched. But FBKW, they're moving away from Survey Camp right now. They do spot out one towards Climatizer.
02:46:56 Ich glaube, das ist die X-Ray-Squad da. Du hast AVENGERS hier nebenbei. Und hier auf World's Edge, nach dem initial Fistik of Swords Landslide. Das ist die größte Sache. AVENGERS ist noch ein Angle hier. HIKEN ist Forcing 1 weg. Es ist vielleicht so ein Sting für die AVENGERS, dass sie nicht machen können. Ich habe die Namen von Kensung und Pro League gesehen. Und es würde wirklich schwer für sie nicht machen, in die Top 8 zu machen.
02:47:27 Ja, es gibt noch ein paar Teams in dieser Lobby, die können die Fates der anderen Teams zeigen, wie du schon erwähnt hast, Dax. Aber vielleicht in ein mehr... ...ein ein mehr Vicious-Way, ehrlich gesagt. Weil, ja, wenn du das weit entfernt hast, um...
02:47:44 Wenn du nicht hast, ja. Ich weiß nicht. Vielleicht kann man auch deine Freunde helfen. Es ist ein weirdes Spot, ich glaube. Und ich glaube, das ist die Downside zu haben, die 6-Map-Series in Matchpoint. Obviamente, wenn die Game-Series kann weitergehen, wie es in regularer Matchpoint gibt, da ist immer ein Incentive für dich um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
02:48:10 They're only gonna be maximum 9th place after that. Heartbreaker for Monkey King. One of the best showings from yesterday. Over 100 points like I said in the previous map. They're not gonna be making it there still though. 16 squads remaining. Looking perhaps to especially kill Devil. If they can pop off here they can secure their spot. We're still on FPKW though. Yuji stuck in the middle.
02:48:36 Do they know Avengers is just right behind them? They pinged it, so they're at least aware there's also a black market for them to really utilize here as they've decided to run the Loba. Everything else, it's just FPK double-equipped in these awkward spots here.
02:48:52 Tough one for them. Okay, we're about to get that next ring reveal. So, yeah, it'll just be fascinating to watch the team start swarming here. Because Avengers, you know, if the ring pulls north, this is exactly the spot you want to be. But it doesn't. It pulls very, very far away from there. It's actually a bit more northerly on that sort of hill above Survey Camp. Or, you know, below Survey Camp, depending on... We're talking about the map or the actual elevation of...
02:49:18 Ja, der Spot. Aber jetzt gibt es niemanden. Absolut, niemanden. Die Teams sind überall aus der ganzen Welt, aber nicht nur da.
02:49:46 von der Klimatizer-Side und in der Saftung. Und wirklich, ich glaube... Es ist die Chicanbrose, die wir in all diese Zeit haben. Sie sehen, Sie sehen, dass es ein Team nebenbei ist. Das X-Ray ist auf der Bühne jetzt. Ground Zero. All die auf der Opposite End. Und sie haben einen 3-0 zurück, so sie können für den vollsten, wenn sie hier machen wollen.
02:50:13 Woa, Leip kommt zurück in, so Kobe kann mit seinen Teammaten sein. Und wie gesagt, es gibt viele Teammaten in diesem Bereich, also Kildo ist hinter dem. Du hast Prevail und Zed in front of dem.
02:50:29 Rund Zero, sie wollen nicht hier verabschieden. Sie müssen herausfinden, dass sie in den Epi-Center werden können.
02:50:57 Oh no. Oh no.
02:51:23 36, das vielleicht genug ist, egal ob was passiert in diesem Spiel, aber die Kildebils wollen sie in ihren eigenen Händen müssen. Barbecue haben definitiv genug gemacht, um uns in ALGS Next Split zu sein, aber wie viel weiter kann sie gehen? Ja, Chikan Bros ist also gegangen, Kildebils' Chance zu secure es.
02:51:47 Even bigger now, True on the other hand, they have many neighbors to face off against, and that is Whiteflash, a team from Split 1, formerly the Ash Esports Squadron, maybe a last hurrah here, especially against our second place squad, it's Whiteflash now bringing in the pain, True doesn't even expect it coming their way, and Rodgers will fall first and foremost, the IGL gone, Whiteflash for the advantage, they get Scandal now, so Kill Devil now, in position, as a duo, they brave it now, True's elimination.
02:52:17 hier und Kieltebel. Wir wollen jetzt weitergehen, Gino. Sie sehen, es ist ein Team hinter dem, aber nur einen, wirklich. So ich denke, Remarkable Team ist das Team, das wir haben zu schauen für in diesen letzten Zonen hier, denn sie sind jetzt in 9th Spot. Und sie haben eine Chance hier, zu gehen und gehen in die Top 8. Sie sind jetzt in die Top 8.
02:52:44 In Grandma's house here. They've got MXF below them. They still have to work out some way to make the cross through the tracks here. And that's where Whiteflash were holding out. Obviously, they probably can't make it anymore. You know, it was a tough pro-league split one for them. And it looks like they have not backed it up here to give themselves another tilt at it in split two.
02:53:08 Ja, das ist einfach, aber trotzdem haben sie ein Spiel zu zeigen, was sie tun können. Remarkable Team, wenn sie eine Top-Fight haben, dann ist es genug. Top-3, Top-2 sollte durch die Placement-Points geschehen, speziell mit beiden Teams vorhanden. Monkey King ist weg. Das ist auch gesagt, für Great-Fanta. Die nur stehen jetzt, in front of Remarkable Team, ist Whiteflash. Past vs. Future, das kann sein. Soyo, also Jump-Peak, mit der Shield-Sell.
02:53:36 Ken already knocked on down by KZ. And Whiteflash looking to survive, but there's no escaping for Soyo. Rokoko, the only one standing. He's had a presence in the scene, but now he's gone. Whiteflash eliminated. That should be enough for a remarkable team.
02:53:52 Und sie gewinnen die all-importante Kampf gegen Wildflash. Sie vielleicht nicht wussten, dass das eine der wichtigsten 3v3s der Welt war. Als Sie sehen sind, in der 8e Platz ist. Es gibt keine Ahnung im Hintergrund. Jetzt können sie übernehmen. Ich glaube, das ist es.
02:54:18 Für unsere Top 8, wir wissen, wer wird in den Splitt 2 gehen, aber wir müssen wissen, wer wird die Dubschritte geben. Ich glaube, wirklich, jetzt, die Geschichte ist, ob sie, dass sie, wenn sie, hier in den Plq Finals bekommen, bevor es all endet wird.
02:54:36 A couple of teams here, with Killdevil as a duo, they've probably punched their ticket in as well, and a remarkable team are going to be feeling pretty good about themselves right now. They probably haven't had time to calculate the points, but here they are, probably thinking like they have to play for their lives, like they have to play for the win here just to cement things.
02:54:57 I mean, Remarkable Team has had some incredible placements in previous days before. They've gotten dubs as solos as Rios, and they might be able to repeat it here, but Barbecue, they're looking to prove a point. White Zone, just incredible impact with the Hemlock there. Damage completely on point. Barbecue right now, looking for the fight. They get the elimination going.
02:55:21 Und die einzige, die stehen in fronten ist Killdevil. A 3v2. Und hier kommt Barbecue. Kold in Hell hat es geschafft, aber Barbecue sind jetzt zu finden, um es zu finden, um es zu finden, um es zu finden. Das ist jetzt ein großer Statement für Barbecue. Das ist eine der größten Städte von den Qualifizieren. Und sie werden die letzte Spiel des Spiel. Willkommen zu Barbecue.
02:55:49 Oh, wow, Barbecue, wir haben ihn gesprochen. Für den Rest dieses Blitz, für den Rest, sorry, für den Rest dieses Series, ich würde sagen. Aber ja, es war nur in der letzten Spiel, dass sie wirklich so auf das, als das, als die Daylight hits mich. Genome, du hast du gesehen, du hast du gesehen. Genome, du hast du gesehen, du hast du gesehen. Genome, du hast du gesehen. Genome, du hast du gesehen.
02:56:14 It's the Rapture and we're taking eight teams with us and we're leaving the rest of the 20 teams behind. I'm going with them. Sorry, guys. I'll see you later. And as Genome sort of fades into the background, you know, that was our final match for PLQ Finals today. You know, our teams were just fighting with all that they had to try and get themselves a spot for Split 2 Pro League, you know.
02:56:41 Rexu, we had you on at the start, and watching these teams battle it out today, are there any teams that you saw, I guess, in our winners brackets, even in our elimination brackets, that just took your breath away, that maybe performed a little bit better than you sort of thought they may have? Oh, definitely. I think Remarkable Team and the Chicanes Rose, as well as True, they were not exactly...
02:57:09 Ich denke, es ist wirklich cool und es ist toll, es zu sehen, live.
02:57:33 Yeah, exactly right. And, you know, it does come, I guess, a little bit down to pressure as well. You can watch these teams sort of, you know, do extremely well in scrims or I guess even in, you know, the winner's brackets, elimination brackets. But then when it comes to the finals, sometimes just that extra added pressure can make teams sort of thrive or flop, I guess. But, you know, great fan, or I did want to sort of touch on at the start there. They had one mag of bullets, I think Genome said. Some punches and a dream. Genome, I think maybe, unfortunately,
02:58:03 Yeah, I mean, you know, it was like, oh yeah, and one extra kill, maybe that helps you, but that's kind of under the provisor that you then go on and have a decent game, right? And of course, they couldn't because they just got Zerg rushed there by BLT coming down from Countdown, who obviously heard the shots and wanted to pull up on them. So, yeah, great banter.
02:58:29 That may have very well pushed them out of contention there. It was an interesting strategy. It made the start of our games a lot more fun today. You know, just putting the big question marker on the whiteboard and being like, hey, where are they contesting?
02:58:42 Ja, das könnte, genau richtig, das könnte ein bisschen pushen. Aber die Teams, die wir an, ich denke, MXF, fällt auf der 5th spot. Ich denke, in der letzten match. Numnim fällt auf der 4th. Ich habe eine gute Gefühl, dass die Teams definitiv solidifying in den Top 7. Was denkst du, Dax? Ich denke, wirklich, dass wir Top 2 für...
02:59:07 Ich bin sehr glücklich für Barbecue, wirklich. Ich fühle mich, das war die einzige Weakness, die sie hatte.
02:59:26 All throughout the past few days. They're really great in scrims. They have the best average placement and kill point ratios. But where is the dub right? And they at least prove that they can do that before they get into split two. Yeah, exactly right. Teams like even True, I think they were sitting at the top of the leadoff board there, Genome. So I would say that they got knocked out a little bit earlier in our final match. So it could be, I guess, a little bit scary for them. What do you think?
02:59:52 Yeah, look, I think they've sewed it up regardless. Um, you know, it'll be, it's kind of a battle for pride at that point, really, whether they get, you know, second place or whether it's Bargu, uh, barbecue that, uh, comes over the top of them.
03:00:06 Yeah, exactly right. So I guess what they're fighting it out for today is a spot in Split 2. We have Cold and Hell already solidified, taking out the match point win in only five games. So then we pushed ourselves on six. So we're going to find out who the rest of the teams are joining us in Split 2. And here we go.
03:00:23 BK absolutely beamed up that leaderboard, Dax. Yeah, second place taken away from True. MXF also still solidifying top 4, top 5 for NumNym. But look at the bottom here, Lace. Remarkable team is a remarkable effort. What a last game for them. They played...
03:00:42 für ihre Leben. Sie haben es aus der eigenen Bühne, wirklich, mit allen anderen Spielern wir hatten so far. Even Genom hat es gesehen, und sie war es bemerkbar. Early Eliminations für Grape Fanta und Monkey King hat das Spiel für das letzte Outing gespielt.
03:00:54 Ja, und ich weiß, Reksu war vor, dass sie Remarkable play throughout Qualifiers sind. Das ist ein Team, die sich um es um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
03:01:14 Ja, ich denke, dass sie ein bisschen verbessern, was wir gesehen haben, was wir sehen, was in den höheren Bracken. Ich würde nicht sagen, dass es höher ist, aber in den früheren Städten der Pro-League Qualifiers. Und aside von das, ich würde auch gerne sagen, die Schakanns-Bros, weil sie waren die sehr letzte Team für die Finale zu gewinnen. Indeed, die Clutch! Und in der letzten Spiel, sie brauchen sie 2nd, in order zu spielen für heute. Und wenn du jetzt das, sie sind jetzt in die Top 7.
03:01:43 We're just ready to see, Liz. They had an excellent start today, Genome. Yeah, look, the other thing that really surprised me about this Top 8 is when you think about, you know, how many new faces we are going to see in Pro League for Split 2, right? It's only KillDevil and MXF out of those eight Pro League teams that got relegated at the end of Split 1 that will now be joining us. We've got six other new teams that are going to be...
03:02:12 und uns in Split 2 zu zeigen, was sie haben, was sie haben, was sie haben, wie es in den Challenger-Circuit-Matchen, und jetzt in den Pro-League-Qualifier, wo die Levels werden sehr unterschiedlich sein, wenn man starten gegen die Likes von Legends Gaming und Wonton Dumpling.
03:02:33 Yeah, fresh meat, fresh meat. But, you know, you touched on before, Wonton Dumpling moved their way up through qualifiers, I believe. So, you know, and then seeing their performance in Split 1, me and Dax definitely just keep saying Wonton Dumpling, Wonton Dumpling. We definitely saw them just obliterate in Pro League. And then, yes, going against Legends Gaming, it's just going to be a nice mix to see these teams, Dax, just be able to move to Split 2 and verse people like Wonton Dumpling,
03:03:02 Also, had to go through qualifiers. I mean, they're trying to prove that they're the best. It's time for them to get to that big stage. And really, my eyes are on certain teams right now. I mean, Colin Hill, it's already a done statement. But again, look at Barbecue. They have so much good potential. True has been one of the most improved teams there. Numnim is a force to be reckoned with. Chicanbrose, as Erexion has mentioned, clutch that comes out of nowhere. There are so many names right now that...
03:03:29 You can be very hyped about coming into Split 2, especially after what happens in the Split 1 playoffs. I wonder if one of these teams are going to be facing off a defending champion. Who knows? There's always something to consider here because it just means that the level of competition is getting even better now.
03:03:49 Yes, and that's exactly right. We're going to head over to Laird. We've still got split one playoffs to get through, so it's going to be more Apex action happening in Los Angeles. But we do want to sort of take a nice moment to thank Ash Esports for, I guess, holding the show at the start. Rex, obviously, you've been throughout them and seen all of that happen. A massive thank you to them because getting to this, having this passion, getting us on the broadcast has just been nothing short of acceptance.
03:04:19 So, yeah, we want to thank that definitely there. And, yeah, I guess, Rexha, is there anything else that, you know, you sort of want to touch on, I guess, from being here and watching the whole sort of qualifiers, I guess, move throughout to the finals? Well, I think that the challenger circuit is definitely no joke. And getting through the Pro League qualifiers, also not a joke. How many games have we seen this weekend? And I am looking forward to seeing the new Pro League teams compete with the best of the best from the region.
03:04:48 Und ich denke, Splits 2 wird Spaß gemacht. Ja, das ist es. Wir werden durch unsere Split-1 Playoffs. Obviamente, Gnome, du bist über da, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um
03:05:15 Für Split 1? Um, ich denke... Let's go. Let's just have a quick refresh here. Um, look. Yeah, Legends Gaming. I'm just really hoping we've got the full squad over from them. If we do, I think they're going to do really well again. I think Wanton Dumpling are going to impress people.
03:05:36 Um, I don't think they perhaps will do as well as some of the other, uh, number one seeds from the other regions, um, considering it's their first LAN, but I think they're going to come in firing and especially in the group stages, uh, will do really, really well. It's good to see Tom Young-Kung back there. Um, again, uh, you know, Boogie Boarders, Team Burger, they've got a lot of LAN experience. I think those guys are going to do okay.
03:06:00 Und dann, wir haben auch noch zu sprechen über Darkseer und Moist. Sie sind zwei-thirds Apex South. Ich glaube, sie sind Apex South. Und ich denke, sie sind beide genügend Titel Contenders. Sie sind wahrscheinlich zwei der besten drei Teams in der Welt.
03:06:20 No, I couldn't have said it better myself. Just the skill that comes out of this region. We love to joke about Dark Zero and Moist Esports and seeing them go throughout there, but this is where they started. We have lots of teams following in their footsteps, heading over to LAN, and it's going to be absolutely amazing and incredible to see. But we now have our top eight teams moving into split two. Obviously, we're going to see that play out, I believe it's May to June, so we'll see you back for them.
03:06:50 So I hope you guys just stay in the Apex action and watch the Split One playoffs happening in Los Angeles. I'll be in the crowd. You'll see Genome on stage. I'm sure Dax and Rexy, you guys will be chilling there, screaming at the screens from the background. And it's just going to be an excellent show. But thank you, everybody, I guess, for watching the...
03:07:10 Pro League qualifiers with us today, the finals. It happened in five games. Congratulations to Colton Hell and the rest of the teams joining them. We are the Longshot Production. And a big shout out to our production team as well. You make this seamless and smooth. So thank you so very much. And I'm hoping we can see you guys back in May for Split 2.
