EMEA Pro League Match Day 6: Teams, Veränderungen und Erwartungen
00:05:39
00:05:39 Legends Global Series. I am your host for today. Yes, your host. You heard it right. Dia.
00:05:46 Since we're getting into the last bit of the second round robin, the stakes are climbing ever higher here in the Professional Apex Legends Leagues. Now, I wouldn't be able to tackle this kind of stuff alone, but I got on the show for a very specific reason, and it was to spend time with two of my favorite Brits. I want to welcome the first of them now, a Pathfinder main who is getting all the more excited in the recent weeks of the EMEA. Onset, how are you doing?
00:06:13 I'm doing very well. And the reason being, like you said, not only is Pathfinder starting to reappear, I'm very excited for the patch notes of recently of what's about to happen as well with Pathfinder. So a lot to look forward to there, but also a lot to look forward to today. We are over the halfway mark, right? We are getting into the business end of the season and we're going to start talking a little bit about who's going to make it to LAN because that's what this is all about. Of course, we have prize money. Of course, there's placements. There's all that good stuff, but it's all about who makes it to LAN.
00:06:38 Yeah, Match Day 6, we've only got a few ones left to go, but I introduced Onset by his main, so it's only fair that I introduce our, I imagine soon to be retiring from solo queue colleague. Gaskin, are you doing alright now that you've seen the patch notes?
00:06:57 It's tough, isn't it? It's tough for anyone who plays as Bloodhound, but maybe I'll stick through, who knows? But very excited for another day worth of competition. I think that EMEA has provided a lot of entertainment with different comps. We're not going to get, of course, those changes to the Legends for this weekend, but next weekend, I mean, there's going to be even more changes. I can't wait for it, dear.
00:07:17 And changes really are occurring, not just in the standings, but in the league, in the teams, in the players. I want to talk about some of the most impactful changes that we'll see going into even today's matches, because we've had a whole team basically up and disappear on us, splitting into three different squads. I want to take a moment and talk about passion. We've actually got a tweet from Zero Nothing to bring up on the topic. It's pretty straightforward. It's to the point.
00:07:45 Passion is dead is perhaps a bit more of a flair for the dramatic than I would have gone for, but it certainly makes its mark, and Passion, the team, is in fact gone. Now, if you've been watching for a while, you'd probably be going, which one? This isn't Passion UA, this is just Passion, and their three players have gone their separate ways, but are still individually spreading their love of the game over at Blacklist International, over at Forbidden.
00:08:11 und auf ExoClan.
00:08:32 So...
00:08:52 Let's talk a little bit about where they went, because with all these three players going in different directions, it certainly changed up the landscape of EMEA Pro League. Blacklist International has taken my seat out of the roster.
00:09:04 Und jetzt auf Exoclan...
00:09:30 They've been changing compositions, why not change a player? Taking out Jans, putting in Fyodor, who's also been really remarkable for Passion. These are three teams that I would say, coming into this latter part of the split, do really need these changes, because it is at the point where if you're not in the top couple of squads, if you're not sure that you're going to land, let's, you know, let's start trying some things. We've even seen, as we said, some legends that are changing up.
00:09:58 But let's talk about the teams that will be participating today. We've got them up. It is Groups B and Group C that will be playing during today's matches. And again, though you are seeing a couple of teams, or all the teams listed here, Passion, the one with no players underneath it, will not be playing. So when we get into Lobby, don't worry, you haven't missed any action, but there really are 19 teams playing in today's Lobby. Passion, in a way, I suppose will be playing, but...
00:10:25 All on their respective teams. Because we're thinking about these teams, however, because these are the 20 playing today, I do want to draw this directly into a comparison with how many points they're going to be looking for throughout the rest of the season. We are blessed over here in Competitive Apex Legends to have a very passionate community and a very passionate subreddit that has put together some great numbers for us. Go and check out the post by user Xander Commander on Reddit.
00:10:53 As this has been incredibly helpful and will continue to be in contextualizing where our teams are. We've of course got their series played, that's how many matchdays they've played in. The projected points needed is on top of the score that they already have, what the expected amount that you would need to make it into LAN is. And of course, projected points needed per match, to sort of speak for itself, you need a certain amount of points per matchday. And this will give you an idea.
00:11:20 Wer ist wirklich in der Rune? 2-2-Land.
00:11:42 Gaskin, I'm going to ask for your help in identifying some of the teams that we can be really looking at over today and of course the next few weeks who are the most pivotal here in the EMEA region. Yeah, I think anyone who is down below a projected points needed per match lower than 16, considering you get 16 points for fourth place. So that would mean you would need to get top four.
00:12:04 So that magic number of around 96 to guarantee yourself.
00:12:33 Das heißt, es ist einfach zu tun, dass du alles in deinen Händen hast und nicht auf andere Teams zu verlieren.
00:13:00 Everyone is trying their hardest to make big impacts, to make big performances. And speaking of those big performances, I do want to give you boys a moment to highlight some of the teams that you're looking forward to coming into today. Onset, we'll go to you first. Who are you feeling most passionate about?
00:13:16 Well, it's gonna be Passion U.A. And even though there was a lot of talk about Passion and how they unfortunately have kind of gone their separate ways, it's good news for us because it means now when we say Passion in the lobby, you know exactly who we're talking about. It's these three gentlemen on your screen right now. And one of the reasons I want to talk about them a little bit is not only did they have a fantastic last game day where they came out on top, but I think it's the pick up in form, which is the talking point. Because coming out of LAN, having qualified, gone through so much hard work to get there, we know the story of these three gentlemen.
00:13:45 Sie waren ein bisschen disappointed und fühlten sich die Performance ein bisschen flat.
00:13:49 Max Strafi
00:14:18 Just shy of 5k damage, 12 kills as well. A lot of work done with the Kraber in one of those games as well. So he's a standout player and it looks like Passion U8 is starting to pick up form. Now usually Mark, I would follow you and I would get a team to watch as well. But today I thought I would highlight and switch things up and give us three players to watch because we are blessed to have three of the players with the highest average kills per game in the league right now, all competing today. We've got...
00:14:42 Blast. GG, they're currently in second place and of course a large factor of that is down to the impressive start from Blast. On mouse and keyboard as well, I will always give props to anyone who's up there in the slaying department in a statistic that has been dominated by controller players and I have noticed that Blast bring a great calm to comms when we jump into listening so expect GG to continue their momentum today. Now speaking of calm comms, NIP are everything but its high octane gameplay, loud, passionate, energetic, sometimes even mental comms and
00:15:11 Und Zayn ist ein unglaublicher zu diesem Team, weil in dem Chaos ist, er ist ein Spieler, er kann Lock-In, er kann Thrive und er ist ein Spieler, er ist vital für ihre Damage-Output. Als er die coolte, wer ist, wer ist, wer ist, wer ist, er wird die Rest. Wenn du ein Havoc in den Havoc kann, er kann auf die Welt nehmen. Und mit NIP in 7th Position in der Moment sind sie in gut form.
00:15:32 Jetzt würde ich nicht sagen, über die besten Fraggers in der Region zu sprechen und nicht mention Effekt. Seitdem er auf den, wie er auf den, will er nicht succeed, will er nicht succeed, und er wurde sofort ein Staple. Er hat sich in Close-Counter-Engagements gewonnen. Er hat sich auch auf F1-Driving zu machen, mit dem Trident Ability zu sehen. Wir sehen Effekt 1v2, 1v3, und er ist immer entrusted zu gewinnen 1v1.
00:16:01 Das ist wie viele Kills sie erreicht haben, und die Average Kills. Zayn mit 37 Kills, eine Average von 2.06 Kills. Das ist in Zayn, wenn Sie mich fragen.
00:16:24 It certainly is. The fact that he is basically doubling the damage differential of Effect 2 right behind him is something that wows me. Zayn, really matching the freak of Natsuki, has made Ninjas in Pajamas look so exciting over the past couple of weeks. Now fortunately, you at home have the opportunity to actually watch Zayn in action, watch Effect in action, watch Blaster Max Strafe in action.
00:16:51 All, of course, powered by FaceIt Watch. I know you're probably catching us on Twitch or YouTube right now, but if you want a chance to balance what you see here with perhaps a map stream, perhaps a couple of player perspectives, you've got the opportunity to do that. I, for one, have been really overcome by FaceIt recently as it's now got VODs available where you're able to watch things as they happen in real time. But don't wait for after the stream. Catch it.
00:17:20 It's a pleasure to have you with us today and I can't wait to listen to your voices as we get into match number one.
00:17:45 let's do it let's do it i mean a very very kind and warm hearted dia as always very kind words i will say dan i feel extremely safe with dia in the host seat i don't know what it is about him he just has this aura of kindness and love and
00:17:57 Das hat mich perfekt für eine gute Day-Action heute gefühlt. Ich fühle mich warm, ich fühle mich, ich fühle mich, ich fühle mich bei einem Campfire mit einem Tee, bereit zu geben, mich zu erinnern. Es war perfekt, aber ich kann mich jetzt in die Action sein. Ich kann meine Tee wegwerfen und starten, vielleicht ein Energie-Drinks, um die Energie aufzunehmen, hier, Marc, weil es wird wieder eine unglaubliche Day-Action sein.
Kartenrotation und POI-Draft: Stormpoint im Fokus
00:18:16
00:18:16 It certainly is. We'll keep the tea. You'll need the caffeine as we have a look at how things have changed a little bit when we talk about map schedules because we've been starting on World's Edge for the first half of the season. Well, as you can see here, things have changed, everybody, and we are kicking things off on Stormpoint. So a little bit of a change up to the action, what you're going to be seeing in the visuals, how the rotates, the maps, the POIs. They're going to be starting the conversations around Stormpoint. Before, of course, at the back end of today for 4, 5, and 6, we head back to World's Edge. Now, they're the map.
00:18:45 Now we get to talk POI Draftdown and this is where you come into your own.
00:18:50 Yeah, usually when we used to talk about Stormpoint or World's Edge first, it would be like, which team's good at Stormpoint, which team is good at World's Edge? Now it is a lot about the POI draft. With Stormpoint starting first, are you a team who prefers to get your points on the board early, or attempt to, or would you like to be chasing points in World's Edge? Because with the way that the POI draft works, you are usually going to get a good pick on one map, and then a less good pick on the other map. Of course, if you are in the middle, you're probably going to get two average picks, so you might not have that same dialect.
00:19:19 Now we move over to the Storm Point picks first. Players are going to go with Lightning Rod, which has been a staple first pick alongside the Mill with Nine Lies. So those two teams should be, in theory, two of the highest point scorers in the lobby, but we know that just having a good POI does not guarantee you points. You still have to play accordingly, and there are others who might disrupt you picking POIs that are close to them.
00:19:42 Yeah, one thing to note as well, you know, Passion aren't going to be in this lobby. It's 19 teams because they disbanded, of course, which kind of helps the people at the back end who kind of get shifted up a spot. An extra POI might be available that wouldn't have been had Passion been in the lobby. And as we move over to the second page, we'll talk about one of those teams because I want to kind of highlight Alliance. They didn't have a great pick in the draft. They were 35th and they've taken Trident, which is going to be right down at the bottom of this graphic. But North Pad is completely open as well. And I think...
00:20:10 Ja, es ist worth noting, Alliance decided to choose a World's Edge POI as their first pick in 6th, and they've got Harvester, so they have got one of the better POIs. If not, some consider the
00:20:40 Dramatisch!
00:21:09 Ja, ich denke, es ist ein wichtiges Spiel für Allianz. Es war ein sehr, sehr langes Start. Und ich denke, dass sie...
00:21:35 Ich glaube, es ist heute eine gute Zeit. Ich glaube, es ist heute eine gute Zeit.
00:22:04 Ja, wir wissen nicht, wie die Veränderungen werden, die Veränderungen werden, die Veränderungen werden.
00:22:32 An opportunity now to make sure you put points on the board when it's something you are comfortable with and something you have practiced with, because everything could change going into next weekend's gameplay. So I'd certainly be thinking that these teams now have to put something on the board here. And you know what? With how people have been playing in EMEA, I'm always expecting entertainment because we have seen...
00:22:53 Maybe slightly different comps than North America, we have seen teams experimenting a bit, and those experiments have worked. We have seen crazy compositions, I know it was the crazy cats, the cybercats, that came out on top with the kind of difficult and decision makings that you have to make when it comes to those compositions. Like, do you want to play something that doesn't give you a ring console, for example? Do you want to play something that doesn't give you a survey beacon? Well, cybercats just tried to play something that gave you a little bit of everything, and I wonder whether EMEA are going to see more...
00:23:23 Oder wenn sie sich die Tried- und Tested-Test-Compse immer wiedersehen.
00:23:28 Well, here we go then, everybody. The EMEA Pro League is back. The ALGS is back for another weekend of action. And we're on Storm Point to kick things off. And I've got to say, it makes me feel uncomfortable. I was very comfortable with World's Edge. And now all of a sudden they change it up. You've only got to feel how the players are going to be feeling as well. And we talked about a lot, right? We talked about how some teams historically have played better on Storm Point. But then you put into account that, you know, this is a POI draft. Maybe they're not going to get their POI they were comfortable with before. So...
Spiel 1: Frühe Kämpfe und Zonenverschiebungen auf Stormpoint
00:23:55
00:23:55 As always, we're going to be learning a lot in these first game or so. The first two games of the day is usually a good way to indicate what teams are going to be looking strong. And already you can see that Blacklist International, with their new pickup, of course, are going to have a ring console to play with, so they're going to know exactly where their zone's going. Yeah, and I think that as long as you have a ring console to work with, it makes you feel a lot more comfortable with the speed of your looting. But in terms of where we are heading, it looks like we're going to be going down towards Jurassic Park and the surrounding areas of Seto Station as well. Now look at this.
00:24:24 Es ist bereits ein Watch Party. Wir sehen uns, ob sie vielleicht können, wenn sie etwas tun können. Vexed on the push.
00:24:30 Ja, great job from Vex doing the best wig and greek impression there and now trying to move in themselves to clean up some damage, pick someone off who was being a little bit, shall we say, overextending in that circumstance and Vex won this kill and 9 damage with the Peacekeeper, 11's not great, 36 is enough to get it done though and now Vex, a very, very smart play for them to try and take this fight early, catch someone off guard and that's exactly what they've done to slay us. Yeah, that's the downside of Exoclant, being at Devastated Coast, you are vulnerable if a team decides they want to get aggressive onto you because Devastated Coast
00:24:59 Ich bin, ich bin für ein Team mit Parthi. Zip Lines. Eine Eye, Grapple and Die.
00:25:26 Very difficult to push. So Exo can kind of buy a little bit of time here. They can take a little bit of time to maybe reset, try and wait out this push and hope that a third party comes into the area to give them a little bit of help to get out of here. But the evac is one way to try and get up there. And now you've got Denze on the Pathfinder. Well, there's another way to get up here. Zip line up.
00:25:46 Ja, gegen die meisten Teams wird sicher sein, auf der Hype. Aber gegen die Pathfinder ist es leider nicht so komfortabel für dich, weil die Leute einfach nur hinter dir sind. Jetzt, Vex, ich erwarte, dass sie die Wipe haben. Ich würde mich überraschend, wenn Exo kann, aber ich habe schon gesehen, dass es nicht passiert. Exo-Clamm wird verletzt, 18 Quads jetzt noch bleiben. Sie können auch sehen, dass sie in der Killfeed, dass sie zwei Kills haben.
00:26:14 A lot of it happened in and around Jurassic, and yes indeed, that's where we're going to turn our attention, is the full English. Well, they're feeling hungry at the start of today, and they're getting a couple of KP on the board as well. 18 squads remaining. Just remember that we did start this lobby, and we'll have this lobby with 19 teams today because of the disbandment of Passion. So one team eliminated, but also some bodies on the floor already here. Full English in a pretty good spot, just as to where this zone is going to go. Looks like most of the lobby is banking on it going towards Jurassic.
00:26:43 So the Full English, you have not really had the best of starts so far to this season. And if the projected points needed per match are somewhat accurate from what we saw from Reddit as well, they'd need around 20 points per series. So that is going to be them having to get top two each time.
00:27:11 Aber wahrscheinlich. Sie können eine 1st und eine 3rd sein, und es kann ebenen sein. Aber ja, es gibt viel zu tun mit dem Fullenglish. Aber die Fakt hat es gewonnen zu Jurassic, sie haben gewonnen die erste Fight, sie sind in eine Position, wo sie gewinnen können. Es sind sehr early days, aber es ist sicherlich, dass die confidence auf dem Board gewinnen, weil wir das Early Engagement haben, weil wir die Fullenglish haben, in den ersten Wochen in den ersten Wochen gesehen haben, wenn wir sie auf dem Landen nach Stax gewinnen, und dann sie nicht able zu gewinnen. Aber...
00:27:39 Everyone who is in the kind of central areas of the map of Stormpoint have already found themselves within or around Jurassic Park, but then you've also got the late movers, Alliance that we spoke about earlier dropping over towards Trident. They'll be arriving a lot later than everyone else. One team has had a little poke at the tunnel. It's going to be Passion UA. Danish are holding down the tunnel themselves. They're on the inside, whereas Passion UA will have a little look.
00:28:01 Oh, Controversial, folks!
00:28:30 Gaming Gladiators, by the way, a team who I highlighted at the start because of Blast, has just gone down. So I highlighted Blast, but they have made their rotation, but they found themselves in the thick of it here. Yeah, they're going to be able to get the res at least as they get the Bangalore down and the smoke. But the question is, is that team going to be able to push through? But a little bit of damage coming down is going to stop that and should allow at least a battery to be popped. But it looks like that gap was closed. They ran through the Bangalore. They're trying to take a little bit of damage and try and stop this reset.
00:28:59 Ja, GG reset. Es ist ein Risky move. Es ist ein Risky rotate, aber...
00:29:24 Wenn du dich in einer dieser Geburtstelle bist, bist du in einem Ort, wo du kannst die Kills abwärts werden. Sie werden die Information in der Circle gehen, die ein bisschen weiter nach hinten gehen können. Aber dann können sie dann stoppen diejenigen, die von den Nord-East kommen kommen. Es werden die Spieler auf der anderen Seite kommen, Passion Uwe zu der anderen Seite. Aber ich denke, Passion Uwe werden die Bewegung in die Circle machen, so es wird nur Gigi auf die Spieler machen, und vielleicht in der Isolation gehen, wenn sie die Möglichkeit machen.
00:29:52 Looks like players are going to take the opportunity while the fight is kind of calming down a little bit and both teams decide to reset to hit the evac and try and get ahead of some of this traffic. It looks like GD want to play for the Survey Beacon so they'll get a bit of information and well, it looks like NIP at the moment are finding that there's teams where they didn't expect them to be trying to force their way through Boromaster at the moment and there's a team up on height. Yeah, it's nine lives that are going to be there waiting for NIP.
00:30:17 Frustrating them here. Huge thorn in the side. It's a full-on stick.
00:30:22 Das ist ein Nade von dem Nade-Master. Natski lief seine Nades, und wir sehen uns das letzte Mal, mit dem 9 erzeugt, auf den Skyhook. Aber für jetzt sieht man das Nade aus, hat das Nade geöffnet. Das ist ein Nade aus dem Nade-Master. Natski lief seine Nades, und wir sehen uns das letzte Mal, die 9 erzeugt, auf den Skyhook. Aber für jetzt sieht man das Nade aus, hat das Nade geöffnet, das sie so stolz für. Sie bekommen das erste Kill, sie bekommen das Finish, und nicht nur die 1, sondern sie bekommen 2.
00:30:52 So NIP Ninjas in Pyjamas, well, they're looking pretty strong at the start today. So how do you remove a thorn from your side? Not with tweezers, but with grenades is what I've just learned. Also, Natsuki with nades is now something I want to see as a content piece. Actually, no, wait, no, I don't. That would be terrifying. Let's just keep it with cooking with Natsuki. That is the safer approach, I think, for content pieces. Cooking nades with Natsuki? There's far too much paperwork to be done for this kind of content idea to come to light. Alliance, though!
00:31:20 Forcing their way into the zone outside of Jurassic at the moment and just kind of outside of Seto. And this is an interesting side of the zone to play actually. They're going to have to force their way up, you would imagine. The zone will probably move a little bit more towards Jurassic. But for now, Alliance already on Purples. One of the benefits, of course, of landing over at Trident having Northpoint, Northpad, excuse me, to yourself is you can get that Trident, you can hit Ring Console and Survey, which I'm pretty sure they had both of over at Northpad.
00:31:50 And then use that Trident to collect some Evo on your way through. So as far as fighting is concerned, they're going to be in a really, really good spot. Also, we're seeing Hackus on the Pathfinder again.
00:32:01 Es ist ein guter Tag für mich. Es ist ein guter Tag für mich. Es ist ein guter Tag für mich. Es ist ein guter Tag für mich. Es ist ein guter Tag für mich. Es ist ein guter Tag für mich. Es ist ein guter Tag für mich. Es ist ein guter Tag für mich. Es ist ein guter Tag für mich. Es ist ein guter Tag für mich. Es ist ein guter Tag für mich. Es ist ein guter Tag für mich.
00:32:28 Knowing the patch notes that are coming in, is it an idea for teams to maybe be playing a different comp? Ouch, not quite. Is it a chance for teams to maybe play comps as well that they are going to get used to that they might try and use in future weeks as well? That's a question that... Because there's another Pathfinder! It's a great day! There's three in the lobby!
00:32:52 Oh, maybe we'll see even more of this next split. I'm being weird today, everyone. I like to apologise. I've had far too many coffees to kick the day off. But the real question is, how many is too many? Well, I'll let you know at the end of the day, because I'm not going to stop. DMS. A little bit of damage coming in from them at the moment, but not enough to get that first knock. And now they've got to navigate through a fuse ult themselves. So Taskmaster trying to move out from this fight to be the centre of gravity and try and be the one to...
00:33:17 Das war's für den Wettbewerb.
00:33:40 Ja, ein wirklich gut start für sie. Sie sind so gut, und sie sind so gut, und sie sind so gut, und sie sind so gut. Ich denke, es ist klar aus dem IGO, von dem sie starten zu machen, und natürlich, die Spieler, die die Dämme gemacht haben, sind die Schmerzen, die wir immer sagen, ist sehr wichtig, als auch. Wir werden ein bisschen mehr Circle-Informationen bekommen, und ich werde darüber reden, um es zu machen, um es zu machen. Aber jetzt geht es um die Räuel-Teams zu versuchen, aber es sieht man, dass sie sich jetzt auf die Räuel-Teams zu retreiten, für jetzt, als ein paar andere Teams haben sich in diese Richtung, und sie nicht wirklich wollen, weil sie sich in diese Richtung zu machen, weil ich denke, es ist
00:34:09 3D Max from a distance who are doing some damage here, which just means rolling teams can't force this fight just yet. One thing to note as well that NIP just lost Nasky as well. He was finished off with his FA Kids who got that kill and it was Zidane who took down Nasky. And if you were watching them 1v1 yesterday, well, it's kind of the story continuing when it really matters is in a match day. And this time it's going to be Zidane who's going to come out on top with his hand raised. But we'll have to see if they can get him back in the game elsewhere. You can see the rolling teams are trying to watch their back.
00:34:37 Und der nächsten Rotate, in dem Moment haben wir die Wasson Fences down, das wird die Perimeter geschehen, aber sie werden nicht sicher sein, wenn die Zone zu verlassen. Und das Zones, Dan. Ja. Es wurde von Jurrasik aus dem Seto Station zurückgekehrt. So jetzt Allianz sind in einer der besten Spots.
00:34:55 Ja, wir haben nicht gesehen, das Pullen all season lang. Das ist der erste Mal, wenn es nach Jurassic geht, dann nach Jurassic geht es dann, nach Cito. So, die kind of cut-off choke point, die Blacklist International ist, ist ein vital für sie, weil sie alle Team in Jurassic haben, dass sie sich entweder durch oder über sie, das ist, dass sie viel KP, vielleicht für Blacklist, wenn sie able, ihre Shots auf. Now, Gaming Gladiators, sie sind 2-2 auf dem Moment. Sie sind auf der northernen Seite, sie sind geholfen von Danish.
00:35:25 Sie haben wirklich nur eine Option, und das ist zu einfachen, aber als ein 2, wenn Sie hier landen werden, Sie werden wahrscheinlich ein 3-3 sein können, weil es nicht so viele Positionen auf dem Map gibt, mit 16 Squads leften.
00:35:39 Full English, you mentioned how they had a pretty good spot to start the game with off of the info they had. Well, like we mentioned, that's changed very, very quickly due to that zone pull. They don't have that information as yet. That's why they're trying to just kind of creep up a little bit, see if they can take a fight. And take a fight, they will. Lifin will get the first knock. And now you can see they're trying to chase down these final couple of players to take out Vex, who have been, I would say, one of the most engaged teams at the start of this game. Nine Lines will be...
00:36:03 Der Fall ist in der meantime, so eine andere Team fallen aus der Lobby. Da ist der Map-Overhead zu geben. Und jeder, wie du sagst, die in und auf Juratik warst, hat sich jetzt zu gehen. Vex hat in der meantime fallen. So happy KP zu starten, aber nicht ein Happy Placement. Ja, 3D Max ist jetzt in der Fall. Und sie haben einen, aber es ist noch eine Möglichkeit, besonders mit der Damage aus dem Vault zu kommen.
00:36:25 Ja, das ist ein wirklich, wirklich stark push und NIP haben alle diese Team...
00:36:54 Zayn hat eine große Dämme, so Amphi hat er was er zu tun, um ihn zu unterstützen. Aber sie sehen eine 2v2-2-2 hier, und Amphi hat nicht zu beherrsched twice. Es ist mehr KP hier für NIP, die vollen Englisch nehmen. Der erste Knot kam in, es ist ein 2v3, und NIP, auch als ein 2...
00:37:15 Managed to put some points on the board here.
00:37:40 Das ist genau das, was sie machen.
00:37:50 Ja, ANC, Danish and Rolling Teams, even Forbidden, have to move. I mean, Forbidden might be able to just slot themselves to the left side of that building and survive shortly. But Blacklist International, they are going to be the checkpoint, right? They are going to be the toll bridge and people will have to pay if they want to get past Blacklist at this point.
00:38:19 Rats might be able to intercept and potentially fight against Alliance, but it's Alliance and FAkid who hold some of the more powerful positions right now. Yeah, Rats will be able to play the tree spot, so they'll be fine. Like you mentioned, Forbidden can move up to the tree spot on the right here and try and play that, but it looks like Danish are trying to beat them to it, maybe rotate ahead of them.
00:38:37 Und dann geht's. Aber wie gesagt, Blacklist International, die fighten, auf dieser Seite des Wallen, wird sich über ihn, versuchen, zu holen. Es ist eine reale Möglichkeit, für sie zu tun. Und jetzt sehen Sie 0-0 auf seinem neuen Squad. Try and Force Forbidden, um auf der Treepspot, wo sie sicher sind.
00:38:54 Ja, Dainish got absolut obliterated, by the way. Rolling Teams have managed to get to that fence line. ANC Outplayed have also found a spot. Rolling Teams do have the ability to at least hold off Forbidden and ANC Outplayed, because Blacklist have...
00:39:09 Pulled away a little bit here and not got too aggressive. Maybe worried of those teams who are already on that Seto side, shooting them in the back. And this is what you have to consider. Yes, you can be those who gatekeep and get kills, but you want to try and think about how you win this game from that position if you're blacklist.
00:39:26 Das ist nicht perfekt, aber es ist gut genug, dass die Team zurückkehren. Ich denke, sie wollen diese Kills auf diese Seite wiederholen. Und dann haben sie ein leichter Weg durchgeführt. Natürlich werden sie mit Blacklist International machen, aber wie gesagt, sie haben sie Probleme auf dem Seto. So, Forbidden haben wir hier eine Möglichkeit, hier zu nehmen. Die Frage ist, was Ultimates haben sie zu helfen?
00:39:50 Akku ist in der Alt-Excel zu versuchen, das Bloodhound zurück zu bekommen. Die einzige Möglichkeit, die wirklich haben, ist zu tun, wenn sie zu tun wollen, wenn sie eine Late-Evac haben wollen. Und es kann funktionieren, aber auch...
00:40:05 Es kann ein Problem sein, aber es könnte ein Spielplatz sein, unter Allianz hier, unter diesem Gebäude, das ist genau das die Last Player Alive, der sich für den Ball ist. Er hat sich unter dem, für die Teams zu kämpfen, und es sieht aus wie die Team zu kämpfen, aber es sieht aus wie die NCR-Plane, die sich nicht verletzten. Tried, Tested, das nicht funktioniert. Das war nicht so für sie. Forbidden, jetzt zu einem 2. Sie sind jetzt auf die Räueling-Teams. Sie müssen versuchen, sich zu agressivieren. Sie haben gut gemacht, und sie werden gewinnen. Aber das ist jetzt wo...
00:40:29 Blacklist International kann sie einfach ausfüllen, aber vielleicht Rats könnten sie sich überlegen. Remember, Rats sind auf der Norden Seite und sie könnten diese Position ausfüllen. Ja, ich mag dieses Spiel von Blacklist nicht überlegen, dass es nicht überlegen, dass es nicht aufzüllen, dass es nur die Möglichkeit, dass es durch die Tür zu gehen. Und wenn sie durchführen, werden sie drei Jungs getroffen sind. Es ist nur ein Fall von der KP-BUDS!
Spiel 1 Finale: FA Kids sichern sich den Sieg
00:40:55
00:40:55 You gotta do that first. And finally they do. They should be able to get the reset. But no, like you said, the worry was always there.
00:41:01 Fakids swoop in to clean up the remaining members and now Forbidden Down, Rats down as Alliance just overextend a little bit as three squads now remain to see if they can get some damage down before they try and take game number one. Alliance had eyes on Rats for that entire game and as a duo they were holding it out and now Blacklist International get wiped and we've got a straight 3v3. Alliance versus Fakids, the two teams we mentioned in the better spots when we saw that zone shift over towards Seto. But now Fakids on the south, they have to fight uphill slightly here.
00:41:30 Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es. Sie versuchen die Height wegzunehmen. Ja, sie versuchen die Height wegzunehmen, und sie haben so gemacht. Sie versuchen die zwei Spieler zu isolieren, die ein bisschen split von Hackis auf den Pathfinder aufzunehmen, die wahrscheinlich denken, hey, wenn du die Dämpfe verletzt hast, kann ich in die Dämpfe gehen. Aber die Dämpfe ist eine Sache, die auf diese Rock ist eine Sache. Und Zidane, die auf den ersten Kills in der Spiel gewonnen hat, möchte die letzte Dämpfe auf den letzten Dämpfe. Er ist fließt, und er spielt mit all sorts of confidence. Sie nehmen die Height. Sie sind auf die Dämpfe auf der Dämpfe, und es ist großartig in dieser Dämpfe.
00:42:00 Big, big damage coming in from Zidane. He should be able to get this knock. J Savage will help him out in that situation. And Lucky Down as well. And Hackis on the Pathfinder. Welp, he's going to use a Zip. It's not his own. But he's made it a little bit more winnable here. He's got the Spray with the Havoc. But it's still a 2v1 situation. FA Kids will take it. Hackis can't make the magic happen.
00:42:21 Then it will be FA Kids who managed to take the height of Alliance in those final moments to beat Champions again, number one. Well, the aggression from Zidane there, the amount of space that he was able to take really opened up that fight for the FA Kids. Getting on top of that building just commands so much attention. You say, look, we are above you. You have to either stay inside and then we'll slowly surround you or you're forced to peek. And when they did peek, Zidane was there waiting and shredded through those shields in a very impressive fashion.
00:42:50 Ja, sehr, sehr gut für Allianz. Ich denke, sie werden ein bisschen frustriert mit dem finalen Moment, weil sie alle Red Evos haben, wenn ich nicht verstanden habe, und FA Kids haben einige Purples.
00:43:14 Ja, und ich denke,
00:43:41 So it just shows the chemistry of that squad and how well they're playing in the moment.
00:44:07 Also shows that Alliance form is still looking pretty good as well. We mentioned how they had a very good previous match day in comparison to maybe a very slow start to the split for them. A little bit of tinkering with the composition always happens with them, but when it is the business end of the season, it always feels like Alliance start to come good. And again, we talk about Zone Pools, Dan. It was another one that I think took a fair chunk of the lobby, a little bit by surprise of how it shifted back towards the Seto side.
00:44:33 Yeah, I was looking through the previous Circles that have been around Jurassic and we haven't seen that so far this season. So any similar Circles from Zone 2 have always shifted towards Jurassic. So you can understand why most teams went for that prediction, went for Central of Jurassic. But for the teams that arrived late, we mentioned it. Alliance were one of the last to move. They were playing edge. They didn't really have a choice. They kind of had to play any building that was offered to them.
00:44:57 And it turns out it worked out for them. So sometimes playing edge, it can be a reward. We have seen teams who are on the edge and are late. They get punished because the heavy zone teams can take away a lot of those priority spots. But for Alliance, they take full advantage of being one of the later rivals there. Yeah, very, very impressive performance from both teams. And I've got to say, FA kids look very, very good in that endgame as well. And I've always been a big fan of Zidane and the way that he kind of impacts a lot of teamfights.
00:45:21 I feel like sometimes when you go into game days, it feels like he's on, I don't know what it is, he's on a different level for some reason. And it just feels like today, maybe it's only game one, of course, but he's looking very aggressive and looks to be hitting some extremely good shots as well. We'll have to find out if that continues in game number two, as FA Kids will be the winners of game one. But game number two is coming up just after this.
00:47:16 is the official PC and monitor partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.
00:47:26 Welcome back, everyone, to ALGS Matchday No. 6 here at EMEA. After Game 1 got off to a, I was going to say, explosive start to a very downhill one in the best way for the free Asian kids, Alliance managed to grab themselves a second place, and that's just the first of our maps on Stormpoint. Yeah, a very exciting start, an interesting zone shift as well. I mean, it always is going to be the case when you get a zone shift that heavy, which teams benefit from it, which teams have...
00:47:55 Predicted it, and which teams are just a little bit fortunate that they were last to the zone, and they kind of had to go with a position that they found themselves in. One thing that I was impressed with, with both FA Kids and Alliance in that game, is when that zone shift happened, they realized the commanding position they found themselves in, and they took that space. They spread themselves out so that they stopped anyone landing on them and taking a position that was nearby. Alliance, as a twos, flit up to dominate Ratsu on the northern side.
00:48:22 Und die F.A. Kids dann nahm den Souten, und dann machte sich niemand durch die Jurrasik-Gate durch die Position. Und wir haben uns in ein 3v3. Und es war alles um die Aggression von Zidane. Especially mit den Euros jetzt passiert. Seeing a Zidane name popping up, es fühlt sich richtig an. Es fühlt sich an, wie es zu den aktuellen Sporting-Welt ist. Es ist eine sehr gute Leistung für sie.
00:48:47 Yeah, I mean, one of the things that really impressed me about this, you said we haven't seen this circle before during the course of this split. When we get rings like this, however, it really does demonstrate who is putting in a lot of time in scrims, who's studying rings, who's playing a lot of ranked, and you could see a lot of those zone predictions, even though we haven't seen it in ALGS, still be made by teams like...
00:49:10 Allianz, Free Agent Kids, and especially Blacklist International. Even though we didn't see them in the real fight for the endgame, since they got wiped out by a nice push out of Free Agent Kids, I want to give credit where it's due. That was a great zone prediction by Blacklist, and had they been able to hold on to height, they very well could have done a lot more than third or fourth place. It is okay to call them FA Kids, by the way. I'm just going to let you know that you've said Free Agent Kids every time, dear. We're okay to say FA Kids. We can shorten it. We can make your life easier, I promise. That's true. Alright?
00:49:39 Imagine if they're in the thick of it and you have to say Free Agent Kids every single time. I'm just going to save your tongue right here, right now, okay? FA Kids, let's try it together. Ready? FA... FA Kids, FA Kids, we got it. I was very impressed. I think that you're completely right that teams are going to be playing ranked. They're going to be playing scrims. They are going to be finding that position to just put themselves in.
00:50:06 A spot where we can find ourselves getting a good circle.
00:50:11 Und wir haben gesagt, dass man immer wenn jemand in die Zeit hat, wenn sie die Zeit haben, wenn sie studieren die Spiel. Du hast die Möglichkeit, deine eigene Studie zu zeigen, auf die Challenger Circuit. Wir haben die Challenger Circuit Nr. 2 Finals, um, ebenso this Monday. Du kannst sie auf Twitch.tv-verses-gg-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g
00:50:41 We've got several teams on stage now in EMA, NA, leagues all around the world that are making their way into top 10s, top 15s and are doing so based off of their Challenger Circuit performances, Gaskin. Challenger Circuit always provides entertainment and we have seen teams break through from the Challenger Circuit and then find themselves at the tippy top of Pro League. So if that was...
Analyse der Teamstrategien und Spielentwicklungen in den frühen Phasen
00:51:05
00:51:05 Something you want to find yourself doing, then get involved with Jazzercircuit, and I can't wait to see who is the next rising star to come out of it. I'm really remembering Made in Heaven, I suppose. I know they've undergone an aim change, a bit different, but that was the really big impressive story to me coming out of Split 1 Playoffs, or into Split 1 Playoffs, and they had a fantastic performance. Now as we get the chance to move into game number two of the day.
00:51:33 We'll get a look at who can put up perhaps an equally if not more impressive one during the course of this game. It is going to start pretty slow, but the FA kids have started over here in Barometer, as they did last game. Didn't have Ring Console last time, still predicted the zone really well. Let's see if they can do it again.
00:51:57 Replicating success from Game 1 to Game 2 is always going to be difficult because Apex Legends is going to have different zones, right? But we have seen people find that same kind of success and that same kind of consistency by adapting and thinking on the fly. Now, one thing we have to give credit for those teams who are finding success in the moment during Pro League is those that can adapt. The teams that are struggling...
00:52:19 are those who cannot adapt. We have seen teams that are so used to being at a certain POI and rotating in a certain way and they haven't been able to find that same form because they are just struggling to adapt to the same ways that others are. Now, circle-wise, I guess I said zones are going to be different.
00:52:35 Es wird ein bisschen anders sein. Es wird nicht so weit aus dem Seto sein, aber es wird immer noch in die Jurassic Park sein. Vielleicht ein bisschen north, es wird es vielleicht ein bisschen nach oben gehen. Es könnte auf der anderen Seite der Mountain in Jurassic Park gehen, oder es könnte auf der anderen Seite der Jurassic Park gehen. So, das wird ein schwieriger Prediktion für viele Teams sein.
00:52:56 I am definitely keeping my eyes on Lyft, and I'll say I'm surprised even now to see Forbidden making a rotation into Jurassic when they could have stayed in Pylon and gotten a free scan for next ring. Now actually sitting in Jurassic, that's gonna be much harder. I do value Zone 3, whether it be Survey Beacons, whether it be Ring consoles, both of those can be incredibly valuable, and whoever's actually holding onto Pylon during the next zone close will get that advantage.
00:53:25 So Forbidden, who were in a good position in the previous game, because of course landing down here allowed them to play Jurassic. They're going to be one of the squads we have to keep our eye on for where they go, because having the ring console information now, are they going to be able to put themselves in a spot where they can get to the endgame? Now they're already being contested here, as all teams are trying to find this same spot and trying to find this same place to play in the early game.
00:53:49 Ult for Ult, as Forbidden end up forcing a Catwall by using their own Rolling Thunder. They still haven't managed to actually find Purchase on the outside of this wall, and it might be in Forbidden's best interest to play a building, reset, wait for some of the cooldowns to come back. That's exactly what Aku goes for, but 0-0, still low, and finding it very difficult to escape on the immobile Caustic may be the one that struggles to rejoin with the team.
00:54:18 I think they're probably gonna back off. Most of these fights shouldn't really happen. There is enough playable space where you don't really have to engage and with the zone pulling in the way that it is, it is not a dead cert of where this zone is going to be going. I don't think any team really has a proper idea of the final circle here. So the priority position they think they might be fighting for arguably could not even be a priority position. It may not be worth scrapping this hard, but the pro players are appropriate.
00:54:45 We are pro players for a reason, and if they believe that this is a position that they absolutely need, then that's when we'll start to see them commit to a fight. I mean Vex, just by sitting here in the open, are certainly taking a risk. It may not be a full commitment, but it is very easy.
00:55:02 So ANC and Forbidden are both committing to Jurassic.
00:55:27 There is a large portion of the Circle that is not currently in Jurassic, which does worry me a little bit as the Gaming Gladiators get a kill onto Bazaar here. And they are maybe going to continue with this aggression. They're holding the northeast side of this zone at the moment. And there's going to be a lot of teams coming through this kind of choke that will struggle.
00:55:44 So you can pick up a lot of frags if you do find yourselves in an area like this, because as teams come sliding down the hill in the late game, you can pick them off. Even though we talk about the height of Storm Point and how it's so difficult to fight from low to up, you've also got to consider if you are arriving from high to low, you are sliding into danger so often. Especially on lift, like there's basically no cover when you move down towards these buildings where we...
Taktische Positionskämpfe und Rotationen im mittleren Spiel
00:56:10
00:56:10 ...we can realistically say the zone will be ending closer to. We're just not going up to the highest of highgrounds here by Command Center. Things are more likely to bring us towards Jurassic, it's just a matter of by how much. It's for that reason that I like positions like those of Vex, who are able to play outside of the zone, or rather outside of where the center of zone should be. Problem is, they're currently fighting up against DMS. Neither of these teams, really fond of coexisting with others, are sharing the bounty of Survey Beacons.
00:56:39 Ja, und beide sind wohl wohl sicher, dass, bei jedem Punkt, die Free Agent-Kids, die Sie callen sind, könnte kommen, von der Süd-East kommen. Also, du wirst wirklich nicht in den Kampf sein, dass es ein Third Party auf der Horizont ist, also du musst, und du musst einfach auf den anderen zurückkehren. Und das ist dann zu...
00:56:58 ...knowledge of who's dropping where as well. Even though we don't have the same kind of system now with POI Draft, of course teams will have a list of who is dropping where, and you have to be aware of those squads arriving a little bit later, and they could really mess up your game if you are not careful. Now, a team that I do want to talk about and the position they find themselves in is Nine Lies, who are just in the kind of northern building and tunnel of Jurassic Park, and they could be in one of the priority positions for the late game as well.
00:57:26 Especially when you're playing the tunnel that you talked about, the nice thing about it is that you have access to either side of the ring, whichever way it pulls. You don't have a whole lot of cover when you exit the tunnel, but in this case, it looks even better because they don't have to make a decision. They can even gatekeep squads that make late rotates and punish, find KP, and then commit even later on.
00:57:49 Ich liebe sie, ich liebe sie, Blacklist International. Ich denke, das ist eine andere Zonen-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone-Zone
00:58:04 Again, it's another zone shift away from Jurassic Park, and similarly to what we've seen so far in ALGS, a lot have pulled down to the southern side, into Jurassic, but because there was so much coverage on the lift area, it was more likely to pull to the northern side, so that is why we have seen teams like Blacklist and Stay Healthy predict that, and now find themselves in one of the better positions, as now Gaming Gladiators, we were speaking about this choke that they've been holding, and teams may be arriving a little bit later, it's Passion UA here.
00:58:31 Light does a lot of damage right back, but it's a low to high ground fight. Can Light actually make this happen? Havoc and Hemlock in his hands and a bit of cover inside the smoke gives the game in Gladiators a chance to reset. Lufka gets taken down and Passion UA critically overextend. 3D Max, do watch the fight happening, but it doesn't look like they're too keen on finding a third party against a terrifying performance from the game in Gladiators. Yeah, I think 3D Max already recognizing that they are in a pretty good spot, having the Watson to be able to...
00:59:00 Ich glaube, dass die zwei waren, um ein bisschen aggressiv zu sehen, aber es ist auch sehr wichtig, dass ihr aware.
00:59:19 Wenn nicht zu überzealous werden. So 3D Max wird gut für jetzt. Gaming Gladiators will survive und kann das North-East-Side. Aber dann ist es Stay Healthy und Blacklist International, die sich in Center-Zone befinden. Jetzt noch eine Art von Contest ist Cascade Falls. Du hast NIP und Fullenglish hier. Fullenglish hält NIP und Allianz sind nicht weit entfernt. So das wird sicherlich sein, wenn es passiert.
00:59:43 And if you're checking out the Face It Watch map stream, you'll know that with Alliance coming up behind these two teams, there's always the opportunity for yet another fight to break out. I like the proactive Bangalore Ultimate out of Natsuki. Could buy his team enough time to evac or just use the zipline off the evac to take height in this building, which is still technically in zone and can extend the fight. Natsuki is farming damage. Does need to find an entrance into these doors somehow with just that little bit of space.
01:00:13 A little bit of an oversight, Lippen goes down, Del goes down, Faye is gone, and full Anglish are out. It is literally two inches of a difference, but that's all that Ninjas in Pajamas needed. Two inches can make a big difference, and Ninjas in Pajamas will be very happy with that, and there is going to be conversations happening inside that team, because not holding the door is very poor for you. It's very poor for them allowing that gap. Now, Alliance, they are...
01:00:41 in a fantastic position to maybe jump in on this fight. Let's go into a listening and see how they do.
01:00:51 Es ist ein Katz, ja? Oder Bain? Ja, Katalist, ja. Das ist gut, ich denke, wir sind weg. Ja, das ist gut. Komm, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg. Ja, wir sind weg.
01:01:17 Ist er noch ein Tunnel? Ich habe noch ein Tunnel gesehen. Das war schon vorher. Das war schon vorher, ja. Ich meine, wir sind einfach verletzt hier. Okay, listen. Late-game, wenn die Zone ist, wir können wir von der Rooft hier auf den Boden landen. Wir spielen den Trennen und spielen den Binsen. Und dann können wir den Trennen zurückgehen. Das wird okay.
01:01:48 Ja, wir sollten ein E-Vac einfach ein bisschen machen. Ich werde ein E-Vac hier, und wir fliegen.
01:02:02 Ich habe die Plan aus Allianz gesehen. Es sieht gut aus, aber wir finden, weil sie selbst haben, das ist eine schwierige Position, Gaskin. Es ist eine schwierige Position. Ich meine, es wird auch benutzt, aber es wird auch wenn es ein schwieriges Spiel wird, und Allianz wird das in Stormpoint erwartet.
Strategische Zonenrotationen und Teamauseinandersetzungen im späteren Spielverlauf
01:02:27
01:02:27 With a POI that isn't necessarily one of the best. And with the zone moving central again, it is a slightly longer journey than maybe they would have expected. But having the Pathfinder does allow for rotations, but it looks like they might be getting involved in a fight instead. But we'll go back to that later as ExoClan are pushing in and Slayer is doing a lot of damage right now. The Disruptors, he's really opened things up, but it's not enough. ExoClan, turn around and just...
01:02:53 Sweep them away like it never happened. That is absolutely ridiculous. Alliance's rotation going a lot more smoothly than Exo's. They've made their way into dead center of the next ring pull. Got a few care package scans on the way. Their Evos are looking good. Their position is looking even better. But they're going to need to hang on to Bangalore Smokes to cover crucial lines of sight.
01:03:17 The damage reduction on the zipline proving to be vital for rotations across the board now from Pathfinder, and perhaps one of the reasons why we are seeing more Pathfinders crop up, especially here on Stormpoint. And now Alliance are theoretically in a very good position, right? But you are also under a lot of duress if teams start to push around you. There is a lot of angles you can be shot from, so you need to be big, you need to command space, as now you see Jay Savage under a little bit of fire here. It's Vex on the other side who are also taking some damage too.
01:03:47 Ja, sie haben, aber es geht darum, wo sie von hier sind, weil die zwei Bühne sind, die in der Finale sind in der Finale sind.
01:04:15 They're already held at the moment, but elsewhere players, they're also in a little bit of a scrap. They've already lost one, but it looks like it's fine. It's Nine Lies who get taken out. Remember earlier we mentioned this position from Nine Lies that gave them the versatility to push north or south. Well, players said, in fact, we don't like you sitting there having that choice. We'll make the decision for you. And they pushed in, got aggressive, and they are rewarded for it. But now players have to try and rotate all the way around on the northern side in a very exposed area. And they are going to struggle, as are Danish, as are Rats, as are...
01:04:44 Fürbidden, FA Kids, 3D Max, all of these teams are going to have a tough move into this circle. I do wonder how those teams that are already in a ring can navigate the squads that need to move towards them. We're actually watching through Calamitous' eyes Alliance move into an even more central position towards the next zone that could put them in a spot to take out Forbidden, to take out FA Kids, but it could just as well...
01:05:12 Do the opposite and put Alliance in a position where they're taking too many engagements at once and have them giving up their spot.
01:05:18 Yeah, I wonder whether Alliance are going to say, alright, this is too difficult to try and play zone here. Maybe we hold out teams, get some kills first, then we can see how we are. Because if they can hold the entire south, there's still a chance that Alliance could win this game. But if they move too soon and then they try and take a spot and they just get absolutely griefed on their way, it's not really going to be a fun scenario for them. Now Danish also in a position where they have to go from north to south. FA Kids going from south to north though, and they're going up against 3D Max.
01:05:47 If only he had a Sky name who would look really good, but Izzadan doesn't have that height he had last game and goes out. FA Kids, having now fallen, open things up for Danish on the opposite side of Ring to send it in, and 3D Max have got what looks like complete control over this Gravity Cannon. They've just got to fight the game and Gladiators coming from the north.
01:06:08 So Danish finally take the fight against players, but they've already lost one, but it's a great reply with the Havoc as well, and players will be eliminated. Danish come out on top, but they've of course lost a player on the way here.
01:06:19 Das war ein bisschen verrückt. Das ist ein bisschen zu schnell, diese Kills zu kommen. Der Chaos ist tangible in der Lobby. Danisch hat es Kontrolle für einen Moment. Looks wie die Gap ist geöffnet und mit Fricks down. Fricks, die letzte one left alive, in he swings, picking up NO ONE! Unabelt zu machen, mit der Havoc work. Und es ist für Ratz, die jetzt, auf einem member, haben die Chance zu resetten, als eine Jouette.
01:06:44 Rats, die vorhin waren Kniecapp, wenn ihr werdet, wer die Rats sind. Aber sie haben sich in viele Positionen in dieser Reihe, in dieser Reihe. Sie sind in der letzten Reihe von Nummer 1. Und es sieht aus, dass sie die Möglichkeit haben, hier in Nummer 2 zu tun. Sie sind sehr low in die Leaderboarden, also werden sie wirklich zu haben, eine sehr gute Reihe von diesem Punkt zu haben. Aber es ist ein gutes Zeichen, denn die Name-Change ist jetzt 3D-Max. Wir haben sie schon gesehen, aber sie haben sie verloren, aber sie haben sie verloren.
01:07:12 D.V.O. auf der anderen Seite macht es ein schwerer Engagement, aber Allianz, auch mit einem Krayt-Weapon, kann nicht überleicht die Push-Out von 3D Max. Wir sind frohletzt, dass wir ein Early Knocks haben, zu starten. Das war ein tolles Spiel von 3D Max, um ihre South-Side zu haben, als sie keinen Contest von den Teams über sie haben, zu spielen.
01:07:33 So Blacklist International, the only team who are alone within one of these two buildings that we spoke of. But when you look at where that final circle is going to move into, Blacklist International would have to move before rolling teams or Gaming Gladiators or staying healthy. But because they're all on top of one another, they might get involved in a fight when that zone begins to move. And it's going to be about where Rats and 3D Max try and play here, because Rats could jump onto Blacklist International.
Entscheidende Kämpfe und strategische Positionierung im Endspiel
01:07:58
01:07:58 There are quite a few teams that in this situation, it's more about which fight they commit to than whether they commit to a fight or not. The game in Gladiators up on high ground do have a little bit more wiggle room and you can already see them watching now the interaction between Rats and Blacklist. 3D Max, play on the low ground and again have a position that no one else is able to control or making great use of the Watson and I have to say I really like this position from 3D Max, Gaskin.
01:08:26 Ja, es ist ein guter Ort und ich denke, dass sie sehr glücklich sind, weil alle anderen sind auf dem anderen und sie sind in Unmatch- und Unseet, so sie können mit den Watsons nehmen. Sie werden in den Watsons gehen und dann werden sie in den Watsons gehen, aber die gute Sache ist, weil es so viele Teams in den Watsons gibt, werden sie mehr bewusst und mehr auf einen anderen fokussieren. Und ich liebe das, dass sie so viel Platz nehmen können.
01:08:52 Every time the EQ is able to walk up, he lays down a fence, gets them, I'll say semi-permanent, but still tangible control of that area. Blacklist on white shield, or rather on blue shields, will have to fight brats on the outside who do not have nearly the same problem. Full perks, full evo even on Mania.
01:09:14 I do love the fearless play we're seeing out of Rats, though. As I mentioned, quite low down on the leaderboards, and they are just trying to push the narrative of we have to have an incredible series here if we want to even have an opportunity, but...
01:09:43 We see the first kill has gone to Blacklist International, and now Rats, despite their aggression, might have to fight in a 2v3 here, unless they get a chance to res.
01:09:52 Rats sure to follow, however.
01:10:18 Ja, Gaming Gladiators took advantage of that, and even though the 3v3 fight was isolated, as soon as the Zone came in, it allowed Gaming Gladiators to get into a spot, to join in, and now they hold one of the better positions. But it's 3D Max who are going to be their biggest concern, because 3D Max are watching all these three other teams now, who all have to move out of the building at the same time. The only downside for 3D Max is if they get targeted. If all these teams within the building look south at the same time, 3D Max could be obliterated.
01:10:48 Ruling teams. Not the wrapped up. Rampage running a little bit low on ammo. Don't have a lot of ways to fight up against 3D Max. Their nades aren't finding purchase because of this pylon. 3D Max sit back and control a lot of space. You just got to make sure no one walks up on you. And the Devo is going to make that easy work. Up on top, however, Game and Gladiators have made the move. They're playing on top of the silo, picking up kills. Stay healthy, go down, and Game and Gladiators are farming.
01:11:16 Somehow 3D Max need to survive on low ground! 3D Max should still win from this position, though, because the other two teams are still scrapping, but we've got the hype from Gaming Gladiators, which actually threw a spanner in the works, and now GG with a fantastic opportunity to win here!
01:11:30 Es ist einfach, dass nur zwei Teams, die sich mit einem anderen befinden können. Und als Rollen-Teams expire, Game & Gladiators wissen, was sie müssen machen. Marvellous play von ihnen, um die Kontrolle der Silo zu nehmen. Die einzige Team, die es tun können, und niemand kann es tun, aber es tun können.
01:11:48 Ich denke, es war schwierig für 3D Max, weil sie nicht wirklich aufzunehmen, weil sie nicht auf die Heite gehalten haben, weil sie die anderen Teams kamen. Hat sie nicht auf die Heite gehalten, und vielleicht nicht auf die Box gehalten können, sie könnten auf das Silo gehalten haben. Aber als die Gladiator auf das Silo hat, war es all sie geschrieben, sadly. Ich war wirklich...
01:12:10 Hesitant as to whether they would do it as well, because that spot is really vulnerable to things like grenades that would have completely obliterated the gaming gladiators. And the biggest part of it is really managing to stay relatively unseen. That they certainly did. 3D Max really only noticing them as we dropped into top three. Yeah, I think 3D Max were almost hoping that everyone else would look at one another within that building, but as...
01:12:34 The concern that I brought up, if everyone starts looking at 3D Max, they are forced to cower away and just say, all right, well, we'll leave it to you guys, which then gives the initiative to a team who is on hype, Gaming Gladiators, to then take a priority position off of them. Because once they can be on top and avoid all of that potential damage, then they're just going to be with a player advantage at that point in the game. Now, while the endgame may not have gone 3D Max's way...
01:12:58 Getting 2nd place with the amount of kills they did and a great position is going to look really good on their resume overall looking at today's matchday. It is going to be a pretty high point game for them and the game in Gladiators of course will take their points quite happily as well. Top 3 actually looking pretty stacked although KP not exactly the name of the game in buildings that were center zone. Let's take a look at the match results from last game.
01:13:25 Not to this previous one, but Match 1 instead, where the Free Agent Kids, FA Kids, excuse me, ended up taking the win. 19 points and Alliance just behind them.
01:13:37 Ja, nicht weit entfernt, gut zu sehen, dass die Kills, wir hatten keine Chance zu sehen, aber viele Punkte für FAKids und Allianz sind für ihre Position in der ersten Match und auch Roller Team sind 10 Punkte auf dem Board, weil sie ihre Kills sind. Es ist schwierig, die Kills zu finden, in diesen Games zu finden. Vollenglish ist, dass sie 5 Punkte auf dem Board haben, wenn sie sich dann auch gut in die Kills getrennt.
01:13:59 Maybe in positions they are struggling with their rotations, then they can perhaps have a better game once they get to the final circle for a better zone that they have. Now Vex also did the same thing, six kills on the board, find themselves in a pretty good spot, and I think they'll be happy with that as well.
01:14:16 Now, let's take a look at how this contrasts with match number two, the match that we just witnessed. The game in Gladiators do manage to break the upper point threshold of game number one, moving themselves to 22 points. It's not a massive, it's not an explosive game, but it is going to mean a lot for them in the terms of the standings. 3D Max managed with second place to keep themselves in the conversation, and I'm still noticing that Alliance, despite the fact that they weren't at the endgame conversation, put up a...
01:14:45 Unrespectable amount of points. A 6-point game is not a bad one, especially when you're already able to make your way to top two. Yeah, we are expecting Alliance to be getting more points on World's Edge when they have Harvester as their POI, not Trident here on Stormpoint, which is one of the less desired POIs, let's put it that way. Now, as the bottom 10 here, again, a few teams struggling in the early game. NIP getting three kills on the board and getting four points, but sadly...
01:15:14 in der Push-To-Try-And-Get-In-To-The-Zone. Wenn Allianz-Re-Treat-Ed via-The-Zip-Line, NIP-Wer-Not-Able-To-Have-That-Same-Kind-Of-Ability-To-Transfer-From-Building-To-Building-And-They-Got-Deleted-By-The-Rest-Of-The-Lobby. I do want to take a look at the teams that were able to make that transfer. The team, rather, that was able to make that transfer. Gaiman Gladiators.
01:15:34 Yeah, I think Game Gladiators are a team who trust in their ability to fight and...
01:15:58 You can put yourselves in those spots, which are a little bit more open, a little bit vulnerable if you have the gunpower and you have the chemistry to be able to take on teams and also be able to reset quickly. I think resetting fast is, you know, it's something that every pro team should be able to do at this point, but there are teams that do it better than others.
01:16:15 It's allowing someone to maybe get a shield swap while someone else is still covering, rather than everyone dashing for a shield swap at the same time, which can often be people just thinking for themselves. If you can place one player who has a little bit extra health or shields to just hold off the others while the other two shield swap, they then switch and you get your shield swap after. It can make a big difference in those kind of areas.
01:16:35 Und es hat natürlich gemacht, in diesen ersten zwei Spiele. Game & Gladiators sind jetzt hinter Allianz, die sind in den ersten 24. Game & Gladiators, 23. F.A. Kids sind nicht so weit entfernt. Wir sind wirklich so nah, in den ersten zwei Spiele. Nein, eine Team hat eine massive Leid, obwohl...
01:16:52 We'll see what teams can do with their final map
01:18:58 Zilla ist der öffentliche Chairpartner der Apex Legends-Global-Series.
01:19:28 Yeah, even just getting to that point by deleting the remainder of Blacklist International etc. from the other building with the position they found themselves in. But yeah, this was a risky move to make. You could see they had already lost one by that time. And had they been focused or a grenade had arrived as Dia had mentioned, then it could have been very difficult for them. But as soon as they got to this position, the other teams had no real chance to stop them in this height.
01:19:51 And sadly for 3D Max, who had commanded so much space on the southern side and looked to be the favorites to win that game, they couldn't stop the aggression that happened from the other teams. And they were too weak in the end when Gaming Gladiators did arrive and they had to just succumb to second place in the end, which they'll still be pretty happy with, but maybe a little bit frustrated that Gaming Gladiators were able to get that silo so comfortably.
01:20:13 Sie sehen, 3D Max war kind of desperate to get that damage on the team behind the silo, and then maybe would have forced GG down from the height to try and pick up the KP. They're trying to force teams to play for second, essentially, and they ended up being the team that was forced upon by a team who was playing for second. So those little moments can really change the outcome of the game as to who comes second, third, and of course, who claims the champion banner at the end of things. But heading into game number three now...
01:20:36 Ich denke, es setzt uns auf sehr, sehr gut. Wir haben uns über die Emeer gesprochen, und auch in Nord-Amerika, die letzte Mal wir waren, war so, so close, um in Game 5 und Game 6 zu sehen. Und jetzt ist es ziemlich ähnlich, mit dem Fall.
01:20:48 Ja, und in der Start der Show, wir waren über wie viele Punkte die Teams werden, wenn sie sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um sich um
01:21:13 Für diejenigen, die 20 Punkte pro-Series brauchen, müssen sie sozusagen Top 2 für die remainder der Pro-League sein. Das ist eine Aufgabe, für sicherlich.
01:21:36 ... ... ... ...
01:22:01 The zone and where we're going to be going is going to be for NIP. So Note Cave is where we're going. We're moving away from the center of the map for the first time and we're going out towards the edges.
01:22:09 Yeah, and this one often does shift all the way down towards Cenote as well. There is a small chance it could be on the northern side, which we have seen zone finishes there, or I've seen them within ranked and within scrims. Haven't seen it necessarily in ALGS this season, though. But you can see Stay Healthy on your screen making their rotation, and they are just going to take the northern side at the moment, perhaps a little bit concerned about committing to Cenote.
01:22:33 straight away, because NIP are going to be there, but now they've just dropped the Balloon, you can see. So at Evac Tower, maybe they can take the spot off Cenote, because you have to remember, NIP don't have a ring console down there, so NIP don't yet know that it is pulling all the way down to the southwest. NIP might be in a bit of a sticky spot here. You can see, I think one player's on the Trident at the moment, or trying to grab the Trident to retreat, but...
01:22:54 They were very, very split for just a second there. I was wondering if they were going to take a lot of damage because, like you mentioned, Stay Healthy were flying in. ANC Artplate have already arrived as well. Nine Lies are already there as well. And it looks like NIP have managed to, I will say, I was going to say that NIP had managed to get back together. But Natsuki, unfortunately, was not invited.
01:23:17 ...to the trio and will be taken down. So the speed at which teams have rotated into Cenote here with that ring console information is why you see Natsuki caught off guard. They had, like you said, no ring console information. They didn't know exactly where the zone is going to be going. Or maybe they just took a little bit too long and overextended a little bit too much for loot that's caused them to now be in this horrible spot.
01:23:38 Ich denke, dass die Zone noch nicht weitergegangen ist, wenn es ein bisschen weitergegangen ist und es nicht so schwer zu tun hat, dann würde ich es gut sein. Aber ja, ohne die Ring-Console, sie waren nicht zu wissen. Und als sie gesehen haben, die Team war sehr schnell zu ihrer PoE, es war ein bisschen zu late. Sie waren zu split, und es war ein Desperate Scramble, aber leider nicht, sie können nicht weg. Jetzt, ob sie die Banner von Natsuki bekommen haben, weil ich sehe, dass eine Re-Spawn Beacon ist für NIP.
01:24:03 Maybe they can get back up to a full three, but at the moment gonna have to fight as a two. Now our previous winners, Gaming Gladiator is gonna be approaching from the northeast. It's gonna be a long old journey, most likely through Seto Station and then continuing to move southwest. But Gaming Gladiator, the way they fought in the previous game, still has me confident they can get to the late game here with the way that they have been approaching. Yeah, I mean, we'll have to go back and watch the VODs, of course, of the NIP decision. I wonder if they thought it was a mill zone and maybe...
01:24:32 Das ist warum sie so viel Platz auf der Loot-Path haben, zu versuchen, alles zu machen, bevor sie ihre Bewegung gemacht haben. Und dann waren sie ein bisschen off-guard. Aber ich habe zu confirm, dass das für sicher ist. Vielleicht war es ein Wrong-Zone-Call. Vielleicht war es einfach nicht so, dass sie nicht mehr Zeit für andere Teams kommen. Aber FA-Kids? Es ist ein ziemlich guter Tag für sie so far. 3rd-Place-Overall mit 22 Points auf dem Board bereits. Und jetzt spielen die...
01:24:56 We might get a few teams that now just have to play north of Cenote and hope for a desperate ring pool that most likely isn't going to happen with a zone like this that is so heavy to shift to the southwest, but I know we've seen a few odd pools happen.
01:25:25 in weeks of late, so you never really know what scenario you're gonna find yourself in. I like this move from FA Kids, though. One way of trying to avoid commotion is by taking a wide route around, and they will try and find themselves on the southern tip, but they are not the first team to do it. Blacklist International have beaten them to the punch here, using quicker means of travel, and now FA Kids are gonna be held out by Blacklist. Those guys have got some bouncy shoes. They certainly have moved in a little bit quicker, like you say. Just beat them on that rotate, and...
01:25:52 You have to understand as well, FAK is probably not wanting to take that fight based on the fact that they had two blues and a white. If you've got white armor, even early in the game, at any point in the game, if someone cracks that and gets the information, they're more than willing to be a little bit over aggressive to try and see if they can get that knock. But Vexu in ninth overall.
01:26:09 Been very aggressive at the start of games so far and picked up some decent KP, but that's where most of their points have come so far. It seems like when we get towards that top 10, it's almost a fight too many for them or maybe an ill-advised fight, maybe just an unfortunate position they find themselves in, but just struggling to force their way into that second part of the game at the moment as NIP will be eliminated. Nine Lights get the info, probably scanned off of the Bloodhound of Vives to get the info that that was a duo. And now...
01:26:37 Not only did they get the KP, they probably get one of the best prior buildings that you could ask for as well. Yeah, I think everyone will be happy with this far southwest building. Could still pull to one of the buildings just a little bit further north, but you put yourselves in a good spot, or you would have put yourselves in a good spot if you were the only team down here. I think the downside is...
01:26:55 Three teams are now in this area, which is going to be difficult to poke out and get any extra damage, and you might just have to resort to holding this building until the end of the game, wait for that zone to move, but sometimes that's how you play a little bit of Apex. But as the zones shift and as the circle comes in, we get a little bit more information and confirmation that we will be going to Cenote Cave as first thought.
01:27:18 So Sonote is the place to be, as you can see on your map overhead now. NIP been eliminated, a very unfortunate game for them. And we talk about golden game opportunities, right? I mean, the heartbreak for them is no ring console. They didn't know it was going directly towards Sonote. They wouldn't have the same info as some of the teams that were arriving to get picked off to be dropping at Sonote and be the first team eliminated. That's a heartbreaker because they're the games you wish for, right? They're the ones where you...
01:27:44 Es zeigt, dass es eine Zone ist. Es ist in den Zentral-Zonen. Es ist in den Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-Zonen-
01:28:13 They were not. But now Alliance, who are going to be holding the northern side and have the chance to stop a lot of teams arriving. Both Rats and Gaming Gladiators are moving from Mill. You can see them in their crosshair right now. And there is kills potentially on the board here for Alliance. Just couldn't quite connect with the Sentinel shot. You can see that may have been a different situation, but it's Gigi who actually rotating away from Rats or inside of the Mill. So Gigi taking a wide kind of western swing.
01:28:39 Through the Egg Buildings in towards Cenote. They will be safer for quite some time as well, even if they play outside of Cenote. But Alliance will be in a very similar position. I think, like you said, they're just trying to hold out for some KP at the moment, make sure their backs are clear. Other teams are arriving a little bit late. You can see players, they're coming all the way down from the north. They're not even in zone yet. DMS are kind of just about arriving for now. But GG are winners, of course, in the previous game. Well, they're inside of Cenote.
01:29:05 And they're in a pretty good spot for now. They have to kind of work a little bit harder later on in the game to force a spot and wait for a third party opportunity, which is probably their best, I'd say, opportunity to get a little bit deeper into this zone. But two purples and a blue, they're pretty good for now. Yeah, maybe they hope that someone jumps onto 3D Max and they can join that a little bit later. But there are buildings next to where 3D Max are residing. They are open. It's just getting there. Like, sadly...
01:29:32 You can think about, oh, well, look, there's a building. If you can hit a Survey Beacon, which of course we can see Gaming Gladiators do have the opportunity to hit said Survey Beacon, you could maybe take one of those buildings, but you could get focused so heavily from all those teams on the Southwest that it might just be too much of a risk. Another option for GG is they could stay northern side and go for KP if they notice that there's a few teams that are a little bit open. But for rolling teams, they're currently being held out at Barometer by Exoclan.
01:29:58 This is always going to be one of those frustrating scenarios where you think you're going to be on a comfortable rotation because you are so late, and then you're like, why on earth is this team still here? How do we get past them here? And sometimes the answer is you just have to fight them. Well, the zone's going to force them to make a decision. It looks like it's going to be an evac tower past them. This is an evac that won't be able to be shot down thanks to the cover that you can see. Actually, it's a little bit more vulnerable than I thought initially, but...
01:30:25 Looks like they're going to try and play towards where Full English are landing at the moment. Or maybe they're going to try and play for the bridge position. Yeah, it's going to be the bridge instead. So a couple of shots being reined in from distance. But they should be safe-ish. Not as safe as I thought they would be. As it's forbidden to poke from inside of the tunnel and managed to get the knock onto Denze. And I think it must have been a little bit of maybe broken communication. You can see the other two members of Vex landed together.
01:30:56 A little bit of a strange one here. Rolling Teams kind of as a duo inside of the bridge. It just seemed like they weren't quite sure where they wanted to play together. It was a little bit split. It's the panic decision that you're forced into because you were being held out. And that's exactly what Exoclan would have wanted. But now Rolling Teams have been able to find themselves within this building and will get the damage to take this nut for now. And actually, I think they're going to be able to take almost entirely.
01:31:20 Vex down. Vex have lost 1, maybe lost 2, and there's other teams that are joining in. Players are not so far away at the same time. So it's good for now for rolling teams, but they're still going to have to keep moving west here. You can see they would have known that was a duo because of Dense going down on the Pathfinder. So they move in and Vex will be fully eliminated. Now it will be Babylon's the last player to go down. So we have 17 squads that are still in this lobby. Rolling teams, by the way, 4th place overall at the moment, although...
01:31:47 With how tight the leaderboards are, that can change kill after kill, placement point after placement point, game after game at the moment, as ExoClan, who were inside a barometer, now try and make their rotate. And they're going to try and maybe land up on this high ground and play underneath this big rock, but a little bit of a vulnerable position, excuse me, but a couple of smokes should keep them covered for now, as K-Swilly's on the Pathfinder as well. That means the zipline's going to get them into a safe spot, and it looks like they've actually made a really, really smart rotate here.
Pathfinder Pickrate und Teamdynamiken
01:32:15
01:32:15 Exoclan, eine andere Team auf der Pathfinder. Ein 20% pickrate in diesem Spiel, für Pathfinder. So das ist 1 in 5 Teams haben eine Pathfinder, und wir haben nicht gesehen, eine Pickrate wie das für Pathfinder in ziemlich viel Zeit. Und es wird nur um, wie gesagt, Stonks sind jetzt auf die Pathy-Boys. Und es hilft viele Teams mit ihren Rotationen, einfach zu haben, die Zip-Line zu haben. Teams haben versucht, um die Zip-Line zu nehmen.
01:32:38 die Leute aus dem Weg zu gehen, und die Leute aus dem Weg zu gehen. Es hilft, natürlich, mit der Height-Difference in Stormpoint. Die Zone ist weiter zu trenden, und weiter zu den Südwesten zu gehen. Es ist nicht so weit nach Südwesten, wie die F.A. Kids finden sich selbst. Es ist ein bisschen mehr centrales, als sie vielleicht gedacht haben.
01:33:08 Ja, Bullying is the right word. Bullying is what you need to do sometimes when you find yourself in that position. You have to be aggressive and take advantage of a composition that allows you to play in that manner as well. So Alliance, they will now hold the northern side. Their next point of contact is
01:33:37 Es ist vielleicht auch DMS, die jetzt ein bisschen nach hinten zu gehen, oder sie weitergehen mit den gleichen Aggressionen und nehmen die Rats, die jetzt zu ihrer East sind. Aber sie haben ein wenig Zeit zu entscheiden. Ich bin sicher, als sie die Zone-Informationen werden, sie werden sich jetzt mit ihnen entscheiden. Wir sehen, dass GG und Blast haben gewonnen und gewonnen, aber du hast zu fragen, wie lange er sein wird, wie lange er sein wird für. Und speaking of survival, gut luck, everybody.
01:34:03 Maybe time to say a prayer because nobody is inside of that zone. No buildings, maybe even like the slimmest corner of 3D Max's building potentially might be in. But then again, leaving that building is going to be very, very tough.
01:34:17 Ja, ExoClan ist jetzt sehr bewusst, dass die anderen Teams in der Nähe sind, und sie wissen, dass sie nicht zu tun können, weil sie nicht zu spätigen. Weil wenn sie zu spätigen, dass sie zu spätigen, dass sie zu spätigen, dass sie zu spätigen, dass sie zu spätigen.
01:34:47 Ja, ich würde sagen, du kannst eine Thick-Jacket auf mit dem Damage-Reduktion, aber du musst noch da sein, und Exo-Clan wird nicht da sein.
01:35:03 Well, the fact that they have a...
01:35:22 Dark Veil zu gehen danach, gibt es die Chance zu bekommen, aber ich denke, sie haben auch schon wieder geholfen. Sie haben einen 1. Sie haben einen Rez, sie sind zurückgezogen. Und sie können, in fact, bleiben gesund für jetzt. Und sie können den South-East-Side halten. Aber sie werden wohl aware, dass es mehr Team zu joinen ist. Es ist mehr Arrivung! Es ist mehr Arrivung! Jeder sieht die Zip-Line und ich verstehe es. Du siehst die Zip-Line, du siehst die Zip-Line. GG wird in der meantime.
01:35:46 Now we're going to see another team jump onto this height and this is going to be a huge point of contention and Stay Healthy will be eliminated as well. This height is going to be one of the best positions for the endgame. The question is, how early?
01:35:56 Das ist so chaotisch auf der North-East-Side.
01:36:25 Und wenn sie wieder ein paar Kp werden, dann wird es ein paar Kp für ein paar Kp für ein paar Kp.
01:36:53 Their drop spot over at the north side towards north pad. So Rats, the only team at the moment who are safe inside of the next zone. But you can also see players. They've got full red Evos. Danish trying to play underneath at the moment. Scans coming in everywhere. And it's just a really hectic feeling, kind of chaotic endgame.
01:37:10 Ja, Rats, by the way, is just a solo. So yes, there is a team within Zone, but it is a solo RAT, which is quite fitting, I must say. Players in Danish are currently squaring up against each other, but they have that rock formation to kind of dance around right now. ANC Outplayed and Black Mist International also could have a somewhat isolated fight. And then you've also got 3D Max and DMS on the northwest side who might have an engagement as well. A team that might be able to go unnoticed is Nine Lies if they can just walk their way into Zone. But everyone is outside of the circle apart from the Zone.
Endgame-Chaos und Nine Lies Triumph
01:37:40
01:37:40 der Rats-Player jetzt. Aber Sie sehen, die Spieler werden einfach nur die erste Team in dieser Zone sein können. Die Spieler haben die Fuse auch, das wird wirklich helfen, von jemanden, die sich in die Open-Space weiterentwickeln, und versuchen sie an den Knuckle-Cluster zu machen. Und jetzt werden Sie die Möglichkeit haben, eine große Herausforderung zu machen.
01:38:00 Players up on this high ground are just waiting for the opportunity, but don't take too much zone damage, because this might come back to bite you if you don't all push at the same time. Zanai's gonna go down, and now players try and move in to clean up these final pieces, and will do, but is that gonna cost them? Was that a little bit too aggressive? Well, the solo from Rats suddenly comes into play and says, I'd like a little bite of this, but it doesn't quite work out. Rats get eliminated. Players will be able to hold off.
01:38:24 Ja, das ist jetzt eine große, große, große, große, große. Aber es wird eine Chance geben für 9 Lies. Aber Blacklist International und Outplayed sind jetzt noch immer wieder. Ja, das ist jetzt eine große, große, große, große, große. Aber es wird eine Chance geben für 9 Lies. Aber Blacklist International, absolut Wipe!
01:38:45 Anc outplay. Don't take any knocks. Don't take too much damage. And now they can move away, reset, get that gen down, and think about their next play. It's a 3v3v3 here in our endgame. It's players versus Blacklist International and Nine Lies. Wow, players are making a big move here. The Evac Tower sends them on top of Blacklist International. Yes, they took a lot of damage. You can see they're all chunked, but they had the time to do so, and now they have the height over Blacklist. But again, it's still advantage Nine Lies at the moment because they are isolated on that side.
01:39:15 So finally, a little moment to breathe, a little moment to get some oxygen back in the lungs, as everybody who has fought their way into this zone has either succeeded or fallen. Players are going to be smoked off by Nine Lies as well.
01:39:37 Und du wirst wundern, ob 9 Lies wird in der Position sein, wenn sie das Spiel nehmen. Players in Blacklist International zu 3rd party. Es sieht aus, es sieht aus, es sieht aus, ein paar Knochen auf die Seite, der Finish kommt in. Kaushak ist für die Armour Swap, er wird die Armour Swap auch. Und Players still haben 2 Alive, aber hier kommen 9 Lies. Das wird sicherlich sein, aber nein, nein, nein. Die Offensee hat sich geblieben, aber nein, nein. Die Offensee hat sich geblieben, aber nein, nein. Die Offensee hat sich geblieben, die Swing wird es. Und ja, in die 9 Lies E-Sports, sie pickt ihr Moment und sie convertt das Spiel into a win.
01:40:06 He had Nine Lies, who had that western side. Just being able to take the building on the southwest and go unnoticed whilst everyone was moving amongst the chaos there. And having the catalyst was very important for them to make their rotation and of course having the Bangalore as well to get the smokes so they couldn't be.
01:40:25 Schott in that final moment. It's very easy. If you are the one team on one side and there's two teams that are above and below each other, if you don't have the cover, they both will shoot at you before they start to get involved. But the fact that they had the smokes, they had the cover to kind of avoid everything, allowed them to force the other teams to get into that engagement. Yeah, very interesting game from the start to the finish. We mentioned how the game went right at the beginning for NIP, who will desperately want to have that game back. Unfortunately, it's gone and they don't get that opportunity.
Unvorhersehbarkeit und Strategie in EMEA
01:40:5201:40:52 Pulling down to Sonota, dropping at Sonota, getting picked off by teams who are just rotating so, so quickly. And maybe an incorrect zone read will have to get confirmation on that. We don't know, of course, we haven't heard the comms, but an opportunity missed for them that is taken, unfortunately, by another team in the lobby. We have three different winners now, Dan, across three games. And once again, it's just showing, you know, every single game in Amir at the moment is very, very unpredictable as to who's going to come out on top. Yeah, everyone is...
01:41:16 putting their best foot forward here in what is a very important week as well, because we have seen some teams that have already played 4 Series now, and as we get through the second round of Round Robin, essentially, this is when you need to be putting yourselves above those teams that have already been able to play a game, so that when you get into the next Round Robin, you know where you lie, you know where and what you need to do to be able to get to playoffs, as those numbers start to be in your favor when we talk about that magic number of how much you need.
01:41:42 Yeah, so I love the Senote endgame where you see it pull away from a lot of the buildings and everyone's kind of forced to engage. It's like, oh, okay, everyone decides apart from maybe two or three teams, we have to play for KP because there's no cover, right? There's no way to play for a spot in zone if everything is already taken and there's only two or three spots to play. So I think if you can kind of navigate, I love the rap from Nine Lies as well around the eastern side of Senote. A lot of people will try and get in, play one of the buildings, obviously, but...
01:42:09 If you kind of think how much traffic is going to be coming from one side of the map in comparison to the other, with the amount of teams that have to move from north and from the east in towards Cenote, if you can win that one fight.
01:42:20 Und du hast es genau das, 12 Placement Points für sie, 8 Kills und 20 Kills in total. Players nur hinter ihnen sind gut Kp für sie. 18 Points für sie, Blacklist International, unser 3rd Team in der 3vv3v3. Sie kommen aus dem 1 mit 14. Und du hast Allianz gesagt, 5 Points auf dem Board. Ich denke, es ist wichtig, dass wir die Konsistenz von Allianz in diesen ersten 3 Games sehen.
01:42:48 Sie sind komplett auf da in den overallen Standings. Sie gehen in World's Edge mit einer der besten POIs. Wahrscheinlich eine der zwei besten POIs auf World's Edge, also eine gute Chance zu catchen. Und einfach nur die Punkte auf dem Board ist wichtig für sie auf Stormpoint. Das wird auch gleich für einige Teams hier. Sie werden eine viel besser POI als in Stormpoint haben.
01:43:07 And we'll have to see whether they can make up for that. One of those teams is Exoclan, who were down at Devastated Coast for Stormpoint, but now going into World's Edge, are going to have one of the better positions for sure. One team is feeling pretty good after three games. Stormpoint is going to be Blacklist International. Sat at the top there, 17 placement points, 10 kills, and a new look lineup. Well, the success is already starting to come to the fore for them. Alliance just in behind them, but look how close it is. It is just a couple of points between every single team in the lobby at the moment. And Dia, this is shaping up.
01:43:36 Das war's für heute, als wir nach World's Edge sind.
01:43:42 Bis zum nächsten Mal.

CyberCats' Innovationen und Meta-Diskussionen
01:44:33
01:44:33 I want to speak to somebody who has been on the forefront of innovating the meta here in EMEA. You know him, you love him. It's CyberCats Elanze. Welcome to the broadcast.
01:44:46 Hi. Hello, hello! I've been looking forward to having a member of CyberCats on for a while. However, you really made that almost impossible to avoid when we look at last week's games, because CyberCats were the talk of the town. You've done so...
01:45:06 By bringing out a lot of different compositions, I do want to showcase a clip, actually, of one of those very same compositions that really brought a lot of attention to the team. This is, of course, the big Pathfinder Rotate that you guys can already tell at home has inspired a lot of teams during the course of this week. This is the dream they want to live out. This is what ExoClan was trying to do just last game, was rotate through the center of zone in the chaos with a Pathfinder zip line. And it's this kind of innovation.
01:45:35 with things like Gibraltar and Caustic, big boys that not a whole lot of other people are running, that has really made CyberCats a team to take note of. I'm also noticing that you're running things like Mad Maggie, like Wraith, and then swapping things out for the Pathfinder. You actually change compositions a lot, even within the same set of games, even within the same map. I want to ask you...
01:45:57 How is it that you're able to navigate changing compositions so often? Why would you do that in the same set of games and how has it benefited you?
01:46:07 So, most of the time Ranch is responsible for the picks. But Ranch and Cliff are filling the lobby so hard. So they can pick any legend that they think is the best right now. So sometimes we just pick Maggie or Gibi or whatever. They just know what to do.
01:46:33 I was going to jump in and ask you a little bit about some of the conversations that happen around the compositions you're going to play. Because it feels like after a few weeks of Pro League, we get the set meta. And it's been Bloodhound, it's been Bangalore, and it's been plus one for the majority of teams because of how they interact together. The strengths kind of mirror, and the weaknesses mirror a lot of the other teams. And I want to kind of get the...
01:46:56 The behind the scenes of the conversations you guys have about how you come up with these compositions and how you think this is going to be an impact in this lobby knowing what everyone else is going to play.
01:47:09 So the main idea of the pick of the GIBI Pathfinder Encaustic is that you're getting the scan of the ring and scan of the people at the same time. And you can easily rotate with the zipline and stabilize with the GIBI bubble. And so we just felt like it was the right time to pick it.
01:47:30 Well, you certainly are entertaining us, and every time you're on my screen, I'm always excited with what composition you are going to be playing. Now, you've been watching the first three maps that we've had on our screen so far today in Amir, and I'd love to get your thoughts on each one of the final circles and how they played out. Match number one ended towards Jurassic Park, but then shifted away towards Seto Station. What did you see here in map number one?
01:47:57 So basically, FA-Kids took a lot of space on the right and they had a huge high ground with the Wath handles and everything. Unfortunately, FA-Kids almost killed two of them on the roof, but there was no way they could win it.
01:48:17 Ja, es ist sehr schwierig, wenn ein Team nimmt High Ground, wie sie gemacht hat, und ich liebe die Aggression von Zidane, um sich in diese Position zu bringen. Und als sie haben die Initial Damage bekommen, natürlich, sie waren able, um die Final Kills zu bringen, um die Map von Victory zu machen. Now, Map Nummer 2, wir zu Jurassic Park wieder, aber es geht ein bisschen weiter nach. Hatte du diese Position von Gaming Gladiators auf den Silo gemacht?
01:48:42 Ja, es war eine sehr schöne Position, um all die Kampf in den Lowgrounds zu holen. Und, unfortunately, all die Teams in den Lowgrounds nicht hatten die Grenad oder nichts, um sie zu töten. Es war ein leichtes Wunsch für sie.
01:48:58 Es ist so einfach als das, nicht wahr? Wenn man das Highground hat, dann wird es ein einfaches Win, wo niemanden kann wirklich in dieser Position stoppen. Und es war nur eine Sache, um zu cleanen. Aber in dieser Position ist das wo Gaming Gladiators so toll. In Map 3, wir gehen all den Weg zu den Südwesten, zu Cenote, zwischen diesen Rocken. Wie schwierig ist eine Final-Circle wie dieses mit so viel Open Space?
01:49:24 Es war eigentlich schwierig für die Teams auf der anderen Seite, weil sie mit uns zu spielen spielen, also sie verletzten zu kämpfen. Und 9 Lies hatte keine andere Option für die 3rd party.
01:49:42 It was a very funny way to conclude this game as well, since Nine Lines really did just walk in and pick up a few people. Realistically, looking at this game, I had a really fun time watching how Exo influenced it with the singular zipline up onto High Ground. And you can already tell you guys are making an impact with the Pathfinder. A lot of other teams are starting to look at this pick. And I really appreciate how much you have inspired the...
01:50:10 Ja, hopefully our ideas with the new meta and everything will get us to LAN and we will succeed.
01:50:31 That would be really exciting because we do love innovators like you guys. I do want to shout out as well. Thank you very much for joining us on the broadcast. If you guys at home liked Ilonzi and want to follow more, as I imagine you did, you can follow them at at IlonziWasTaken. And of course, you can keep up with CyberCats at CyberCatsGG. Thank you, Ilonzi, for joining us for halftime. Thank you for having me. Thank you.
01:50:57 All right, it's time to get a move on, because the players are impatient. They've heard from Alonzi, yes, yes, they finally have their Pathfinder gospel, but we know a lot of people behind the scenes.
01:51:08 Thank you. Bye.
01:51:36 All right. Onset, we're going to start just saying that he's not here. He's not here anymore. He's still there by the way, everyone. He never moves. You think you got rid of him before you know it. He'll go, hey, was he talking about me? And you're like, oh, there he is. He just appears from nowhere. But I mean, it's great to hear from Alonzi, right? I think it's always interesting to hear some of the thoughts behind some of the compositions and some of the decisions that our players make. Because you're kind of looking at it and you're going, this is really out of nowhere all of a sudden. It's like, where does this composition come from? And then...
01:52:05 Once you actually hear the breakdown a little bit of it and the ideas behind it, things start to add up and make sense. And when you see the success behind it, it always inspires someone else to try something. So yeah, great to hear from Alonzi. Very excited to see what they can do in the rest of the split.
01:52:18 Well, I do wonder as well how much change they'll inspire across the league. We already saw with things like the Gibraltar maybe not being picked up as much as the Pathfinder. How much space is there for that both now and post patch? Because on set, we are going to be, we're not going to talk about it too much, but we are going to be changing a little bit of the meta when it comes to Tuesday. So how much innovation that'll free up for the rest of our teams is something that we can really look forward to. I do want to take a look at the POIs that were drafted moving.
01:52:47 in World's Edge, that's going to be very important. It's going to change a lot of folks' chances. And of course, we're starting things off with first pick, Exo Skywest. Tale as old as time, Exo finally coming back home. Probably got there and it goes, who changed the wallpaper? Because we haven't been here for quite some time. But one pick I want to kind of highlight again, and I've talked about Alliance and their pick over on Stormpoint, but Alliance going for Harvester is...
01:53:11 Ich glaube, das Pick 2 ist etwas überraschend für mich, denn es hat nicht die größte Lütepool, ich würde sagen, für ein Team, die historisch ließ zu Lütep und zu sein, um die Endgame zu spielen und zu spielen. Es ist eher ein Central POI, welches...
01:53:23 Maybe thinking about a little bit of a change of approach for Alliance. They want to start more in the center of the map. They want to use the Pathfinder to make some quick rotates. And maybe that's down to the fact that some of these zones have been a little bit unpredictable. They want to see if they can get a really good early spot and play from there. Use that Pathfinder a little bit later on. If they have to make a little bit of a stranger rotate towards one of those strange zone pools. But it's an interesting pick for me because historically Alliance have not played from center POI. So something to keep an eye on for sure.
01:53:52 And I can't help but wonder whether they're going Harvester to at least have equal access to all the zones, because one of the things the Alliance was really known for was playing out of a spot like Thermal Station, where they basically have negative access to almost every zone and are always playing from edge. Perhaps with Harvester you can do that more consistently, you can find better spots. There's a bit of mystery to this, but it's a mystery that will be shortly resolved. I am taking a look at a couple of other...
01:54:21 Notable POIs. 3D Max have Monument, but they also have Fragment as a result of no teams being there. And the same thing can be said for the FA Kids and potentially Rats as one of those two teams could inherit the loot over by Dome. Yeah, we'll say as well, NIP continuing their form and just saying, we're going Siphon. If you want to come with us, we'll fight you, which means that they just get Siphon. I mean, it's a good idea, isn't it? It's kind of one of those. It's like...
01:54:48 Es ist eine solche Chaotik-Decision, die ich denke, Natsuki hat sich sehr beeinflusst. Es ist so, okay, wir werden das ganze Zeit wählen, egal ob die Seite wir kommen, und wenn du willst, dann bist du eher willkommen, aber wir könnten deinen Spiel ruinieren. So, ich glaube es.
01:55:04 Ich glaube, ich glaube, dass die Energie, die das Team ist, dass sie eigentlich nicht so gut haben, dass sie sich nicht mehr überrascht haben. Das ist ein Team, das ist für das Kind, für das Chaos, für Thriving, und wenn sie zu Contest sind, wenn sie zu finden, wenn sie zu finden, diese wirklich wunderschöne Fights sind. In fact, diese ersten paar Spiele haben schon ziemlich non-Action für sie, denn sie sind sehr Standard für die Rest der Lottin.
01:55:28 Yeah, something to note here as well is looking at the Alliance composition, it looks like I moved away from Pathfinder onto Catalyst for this map. So you can expect, of course, a little bit of a change up when it comes to compositions headed into World's Edge. I would say historically more playable areas for a lot of teams, which allows quicker rotates, allows defensive legends to have a little bit more value in your composition and to hold down those spots for the endgame. But always interesting to see if we have any surprises to see that Vex was still running the Pathfinder, if I wasn't mistaken.
01:55:57 We're into game number four and welcome everybody back to World's Edge. Unfortunately for Jay Hanzo, it looks like he might have to reconnect beforehand.
01:56:05 Yeah, seems to have dropped off the map a little further away, perhaps getting oobed early on. So Nine Lies will be set behind in their rotation, sitting at Shree for a little while, and hopefully being able to recover the banner, perhaps with the creative use of an evac tower. Their movement, however, will be largely up towards the north, as it does seem that you'll have to pass through Siphon, not something that Nine Lies have access to in terms of where that future zone will go. They haven't quite hit the ring console yet, and will need to move to make use of one.
01:56:34 Speaking of Zone, speaking of Console, speaking of all that good stuff and where this endgame is likely to be going, I would put some pretty good money on it heading towards the Respawn Village just outside of Fragment and Overlook teams being very happy that they can walk down that big old hill and watch the rest of the lobby come towards them. And if you're wondering who that team is...
01:56:53 The team is at the top of the pile right now. Blacklist International are going to be smiling because that is a very, very good zone for them. Not only as well, you can see they have a couple of Harvesters to play with as well to pick up some Evo, but I'm also hearing in my ears, unfortunately, that we might be restarting this lobby. So bad news for Blacklist International, a zone that they might have been very happy with. Unfortunately, they're not going to be able to play out here, do you? Blacklist fans falling to their knees in a Walmart. Meanwhile, Nine Lies fans are just...
01:57:22 Weil das war eine schwierige Start-up-game für ein Team wie Nine Lies. Also, ich bin froh, dass sie eine Chance haben, vielleicht ein bisschen mehr Regulärer zu haben. Wir haben die Chance, wo das nächste Ring ist. Und ich will sagen, es war ein bisschen zu viel Plot-Armour auf Blacklist. Sie haben eine Zone auf dem At Overlook, es ist schlecht.
01:57:44 We know all about those scriptwriters. We'll have to check in with them and see what the plan is for the rest of it. But I mean, it gives us a little bit more time to just talk about POI, right? It gives us a chance to talk about teams who really need to produce a little bit here on World's Edge because their point tally is just, I mean...
01:57:58 Keep in mind how tight it is, right? And how one game can completely change things. And I think going into World's Edge, knowing that and keeping it in the back of your mind, even if you haven't had the greatest of storm points, if you're starting off here on World's Edge with one of the strongest POIs like your Exo Clan, Full English, 3D Max Rolling Teams, and you've got one of those top five picks of POI, you know that one big game here can put you up into the top 10, top five, top three, top one.
01:58:21 if you can convert. So I think for a lot of the teams who have just seen that restart, I think they're going to be pretty happy that the zone's pulled away from Blacklist International, has been kind of ripped away that opportunity, and they're going to have to rethink their next approach. Yeah, we're still early on yet into the day. I mean, first three games seem like a lot, but if you can have a good performance on World's Edge, like you said, you can start moving yourself into the points that, as we touched on at the start of the broadcast, are really necessary. I do want to take a look forward into the future, however. We did...
01:58:50 The patch notes earlier. I want to take a hard look at them now that we've got a little bit of time because Bangalore Bloodhound have been staples of the meta for such a long time here in the ALGS and now that might finally change.
01:59:05 Ja, ich denke, eine Sache zu erinnern ist, dass es ein Feedback gibt, natürlich, über das, wenn man die Spiel, wenn man die Spiel, wenn man die Spiel, manchmal visual impairment wird, das ist sehr schwierig, in bestimmten Situationen zu bekommen, mit ein paar Lägenen zu werden, dass die Lägen sind, im Moment in der Kompetitive Landschaft. So, eine Sache, die du gesehen hast, ist, von der Dev Note hier, eine von der Smoke Launcher, die Smoke Grenade, die dann aus der...
01:59:30 Basically are the go-to for Bangalore, right? Is that all the players within the smoke will now have a white highlight visible to other players in the smoke within 20 meters. So you can't just sit in that smoke anymore and have a team next to you reset nice and comfortably. You're going to be able to fight in and around those smokes. So it kind of takes a little bit of strength away from Bangalore. And you can also see from the dev note, the highlight is not visible from outside of the smoke. You have to be in it. So you have to be a little bit aggressive. You have to get up in the face of a team. And if you hear that res going off.
01:59:59 I'm very interested to see if teams are going to be more willing now, if Bangalore is still picked, to push through those smokes and try and take advantage of those audio cues that come through. I expect they would, and honestly, this changes the identity of Bangalore to more of the assault class catalyst, where it is more about blocking off lines of sight for your team and less about smoking.
02:00:22 ... ... ... ... ...
02:00:51 Ja, ich denke, es ist ein sehr wichtiges Thema, weil es viel über Bloodhound und der Smoke Interaktion und wie es fühlt sich wie es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es, dass es,
02:01:21 Das heißt, wenn du an den Angle probierst, der Bloodhound wird, dass du durch die Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmöge durch den Schmö
02:01:51 So I think you're quite right. We're talking about this partnership, how Bloodhound and Bangalore have been synonymous with quite, I would say, a stint of time. One does not go without the other, it feels like. And now you're going to see that little change, which has such a big impact on how these two legends interact with each other. I mean, it's looking like...
02:02:09 Things can change entirely. Now, this is changing just the singular ultimate, but the perks have also swapped around as well. Just to reflect a little bit of that, of course, when you are hitting blue armors, you've now got a small nerf to Bloodhound and the ability to get ult back nearly as quickly, changing this from being an ult-reliant legend and again back into the recon, whereas when you hit level 3, you now have the opportunity to pick up a little bit less cooldown on your tactical, especially...
02:02:38 und finden Ravens und, fortunately genug, Ravens sind jetzt nicht mehr in die Proximität, wie viele Teams sind in Proximität. Also, Anset, Sie können immer noch Ravens werden, sogar in die Endgame. Ja, das ist natürlich etwas, dass Teams werden müssen, was sie die meisten wert sind, wenn es das Level 3 gibt, wenn, of course, Floodhound weitergeht. So, es gibt viele Gespräche zu haben, natürlich, und ich pointe Leute in die Richtung, Leute wie Hodzik, die seine Reaktion hat.
02:03:08 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
02:03:23 You know, the theorycrafting before the practical implication when we get to game, because sometimes it doesn't quite line up. So keep your eyes, of course, on the next game day for when that's going to be happening. But I mean, back into the game here, dear. We're finally back on Wild's Edge and this one's for real.
02:03:38 Oh, all right. I'll stop talking about Bloodhound Bangalore for now, but only for now on set. I'll be right back on it as soon as I've got an opportunity. Blacklist International, the inheritors of previous Good Fortune over on Stormpoint, now are going to have to make their way a little bit further south, but a nice loop path in Overlook should take them right into an Evo Harvester as well. So still a pretty nice start, a pretty efficient one. And I like the fact that Uchako has chosen to land over no name as many teams that start in Overlook.
02:04:07 Look do to get an early scan on everyone else. Now, full information on teams that...
02:04:13 Ja, es ist sehr, sehr interessant zu sehen, ob sie ein Spiel auf den Back of that because obviously the Zone ist nicht so close as it was previously for them before we had the restart, but where we are going to be going is right down to the south side of World's Edge here. Launch Site is looking like a very, very strong potential endgame for some of these teams, and I've got to say I like Launch Site Zones because of the
02:04:42 I would say the interaction of different levels of elevation, right? You have a lot of teams who can play underneath each other, inside some of those side buildings, up on the extreme height. And I wouldn't be too surprised to see Rats already make an early move towards that height building. Because as we know, the highest building is always going to be the easiest one to hold because you have the greatest line of sight on so many teams who arrive in. And NIP have also left Lava Siphon. They're already on their way towards launch site as well. So all these teams recognizing...
02:05:08 If we have an opportunity to get one of these prior positions with how strong they are over at launch site, we need to take it.
02:05:14 Very smooth rotation from a team like Nine Lies as well. Having Looted Up Tree, they'll have the opportunity to play, in my opinion, the second most powerful position, which is that far south building that isn't quite as high as the one that Rats have. It does provide a little bit more insulation from teams that would otherwise come through the choke, with not nearly as much opportunity to participate in kills that rotate through the east side of Ring.
02:05:39 Also, by the way, NIP, I'm probably thinking, hey, do Ring Consoles spawn anymore on our POIs? Because they don't have one over at Lava Siphon, which is why they've had to head over towards Dome, which you probably saw, to at least hit a Survey Beacon, because they don't have one of those either at Siphon by the looks of it, to get some sort of information. So, we mentioned how they had good prior to Zone. Well, if you don't know where the Zone is, and you're not 100% sure, especially after what happened in that previous game, where you might be second-guessing yourself, then that can be the reason they've had to decide to go and get that info. Elsewhere, Alliance...
02:06:08 Well, we talked about how Harvester is where they're gonna be dropping, but the only thing that's dropping at the moment is Hakkis, because it's Vex who get another early KP on the board.
02:06:16 And Alliance just take a little bit too long to move through Tree. You saw them waiting for Nine Lights earlier when we were on map view. But that delay has caused them to lose out on one member. And actually finding the banner up against Vex, it should be alright. It should be doable. Getting a full res and reset for Alliance will be much harder. As it's not just Vex, but full anguish. Passion UA that are all headed down towards the south. And even Vex is starting to hear those shots from Passion UA now. Yeah, you have to one up their escape route.
02:06:46 Ich glaube, das ist alles gut. Ich glaube, das ist alles gut. Ich glaube, das ist alles gut.
02:07:15 Du kannst das erste Team hören, aber als Natsuki troughs eine Nade, egal wie die Situation ist, da ist ein Teil von mir, das hältst du hope. F.A. Kids, du kannst du den Kampf.
02:07:38 Having inherited Dome, they actually had a pretty smooth rotation here from Stax. They'll get Survey, Beacon as well, and a priority rotation into the south side of Launch Site that you actually can play really slow for quite a bit of time. I mean, I kind of, I've got to say, I kind of feel a little bit for NIP how different their games could have been if they had info at their POI, right? You look at that last game on Stormpoint, no ring console. Natsuki gets caught out because he's overextended from the POI. Maybe a poor zone call, who knows?
02:08:07 But teams, one thing we can confirm, teams are retaining quickly, knowing where the info was. And then the same thing here on World's Edge. First game of World's Edge. They land over a Siphon. It's not far to go to get here in towards where this endgame's gonna be, but they don't have info again, so they have to go out of their way. They're forced to take a fight they don't want to take, and then all of a sudden they're out of the lobby first. So rough games and unfortunate games for NIP here. They're gonna have to do some work here at the back end of World's Edge. But Babylon's gonna be careful here as Vex are taking a fair bit of damage here.
02:08:34 Das ist eine Art Art von Blood-Alt zu benutzen, dann kommt es in die Öffnung, und jetzt nicht mehr Wert aus der Öffnung. Das ist das Unfortunate für Vex, weil sie zu vollen Reset haben, eine sehr lange Kühle zu haben, um sie in eine sehr lange Kühle zu halten, um sie in eine Position wie die Ful-Englisch-Hold zu halten, um sie zu den Lowground. Das ist eine viel riskier Position.
02:08:57 See, they've got that Watson gen down, which makes it more playable. Always look at those areas. And if you don't have a Watson, it's like, well, we can just get naded out. And at some point, someone's going to get some sort of damage they can make a play off the back of. But if you do have the Watson, at least, you know, you've got the guarantee that you're not going to get hit by their splash damage or grenades and the fact that you can kind of swing out using the natural geometry to...
02:09:18 Ich weiß nicht, ob die Teams kommen in von den Trees zu kommen. Aber ich denke, dass sie das Spiel aus dem Spiel ausfüllen. Es geht nicht so, wie sie wollten. Und dann haben sie einfach zu retreaten. Das ist ein Secondary Spot. Aber Nein, Lies. Ich meine, sie haben wirklich gute Spots zu spielen in den letzten paar Spielen. Und sie sind in eine sehr gute Spots hier in Gendier.
02:09:35 One where they could even take a 3v3 later on into the game. Jumping down onto low ground, absolutely achievable if they find a favorable trade onto Vex. You will have to worry about pylon and fences as things go on, but lots of opportunity for fights to break out late game in the launch site. Early game, that's not going to happen. Blacklist International have made their way up towards, or rather up towards the next ring.
02:09:59 In this case, having moved over towards Stax, the smoke is providing crucial cover. The only reason Yarka is alive right now, but somehow I don't think they're going to hit that beacon anytime soon. I mean, they are getting shredded here, and it's going to be a combination of Raths, Forbidden, FA Kids, lots of teams in and around the area who have potential lines of sight at the moment, but nobody can overextend. So the damage that's been kind of eaten up here by Blacklist International means they can rotate away now. FA Kids over at Dome, they're going to be safe for now, but...
02:10:28 Everybody knowing there's too many teams in the vicinity who could third party means that any kind of damage cannot be capitalized on. You can't close that ground without taking damage yourself. So everyone sets down and I think Blacklist International go back into stacks and they think, okay, we now know that there's multiple teams in the vicinity, in the area around Dome. What is our next play? How do we try and plan our rotate?
02:10:45 Oh, wow.
02:11:15 für das Critical Error.
02:11:39 Und die Gämmen sind sehr schwerer zu gehen. Sie sind sehr schwerer zu gehen. GG, aber sie sind ein wenig zu sehen. Ist es genug zu schwingen durch die Smoke in die Range von 3D Max? Es sieht nicht so aus wie es ist. Gämmen Gladiators haben sich sehr gut, wenn Blast hat sich so viel zu tun, dass sie so viel zu tun haben, dass sie sich so viel zu beschäftigen. Wie geht es um diese Close-Range-Fighten? Los geht's mit den Gämmen Gladiators.
02:12:06 Ich habe einen Schaden, ich habe einen Schaden. Ich habe einen Schaden.
02:12:34 Was he jump out the calm something I just want to highlight their dear about the way the GG played that I always love seeing from teams is
02:13:01 Er ist ein ganzes Spiel, aber nicht genug.
02:13:27 Es wird eine Kombination von Vex und Allianz nehmen und die Final Player auswählen werden. DMS wird eliminiert.
02:13:32 So many teams, and I weep for DMS, who did get so close to turning that fight around. Just a few too many squads. Swinny swoops in taking out Alliance, whittling us down to just 15 teams. That means placements have started to come in, and ExoClan have got to make their next push onto Vex, who have held the Logrand for as long as I can remember. Well, this is going to be an interesting fight, right? Because you mentioned it. It's going to be the Logrand team versus Exo.
02:14:00 The good thing for Vex is they've been able to peek and do a little bit of damage from this position for quite some time. So it's not going to be a straight fight, it's not going to be an easy fight here for ExoClan, but they are going to have to force their way forward as that zone starts to become an issue. Now he's also going to be going in, going to be eaten by that JenoD, and that's what we were talking about previously, right? It is an ugly looking fight.
02:14:18 Fakids and Forbidden taking a pretty nasty one as well. Fakids do have high ground, but Forbidden have the caustic gaps that's obscuring a lot of vision and the ability to push. Izzadan waiting for their moment. We know wants to slide on the engagement, but hasn't found the opportunity to just yet. Instead, takes a chunk out of Forbidden, taking them down as yet another squad rolls in. It's players in here to clean up.
02:14:42 Ja, der Spieler sind die Kabel, um die Kabel zu holen zu holen. Wenn sie einen, dann wird es ein sehr einfaches Kampf für sie. Aber es sieht man, dass sie nicht so gut sind. So in dieser Situation, sie haben die Möglichkeit, ein paar Eaterbacks zu holen und sagen, hey, wir werden versuchen, die Zonung zu werden. Aber Kajak, unfortunately, ist lef zu drehen. Er war gezwungen, und jetzt Sie sehen, sie sind in wie Piranhas hier. Das ist ein free Kp für sie.
02:15:11 Ja, ich habe mich an das, was ich jetzt zu machen, was ich jetzt zu machen, was ich jetzt zu machen, was ich jetzt zu machen, was ich jetzt zu machen, was ich jetzt zu machen, was ich jetzt zu machen, was ich jetzt zu machen?
02:15:31 The FA Kids, 3D Max, are going to be to the south of them, and Lava Siphon seems to be the happening place. A lot of movement out here as Exo chose not to take the fight onto Vex, and instead is now playing low ground. Yeah, back to the other side, though. This is just about four or five teams just coming together on the northern side of this zone, and it's looking extremely difficult for anyone to get through. GG going to be one of those teams at the moment who are struggling to get through. Light's trying to poke up with the Havoc.
02:15:57 Unfortunately, he takes a little bit of damage. He's got traps all around him as well. He does have a knockdown to play with, but unfortunately he's going to have to play with it in the death box because he's not going to survive long enough. And GG will go out as FAKids now move into first place in the overalls as well. And a gold knock is going to help them get back up and be ready to fight in just an instant.
FA Kids dominieren, Vex eliminiert, Blacklist International lauert
02:16:1502:16:15 All right, kind of reset, almost fully, with high ground, with plenty of loot boxes, looking very, very good for the FA kids, as now they do have to move a little bit further to the north, but note the complete lack of contest they have on that rotate all the way until you hit Blacklist International. No lies.
02:16:36 They're going to be taking on Vex. This fight has been waiting to happen for quite some time. It's a 1v1 here and Vives is trying to find a knockdown shield but cannot find it. And Nine Lighters will be eliminated. It will be Vex who continue to hold this position. And hey, they've got a gold res as well. So they're going to be able to get back up at least to fight. You have to wonder if there's going to be a Moby around for them to get their teammate back on the map as well. But I just want to quickly go back as we saw that map overhead, right? Blacklist International, who we said disengaged from that crazy fight that was happening out towards Staxx. Well, they're now in a...
02:17:06 Das ist eine große Position für dieses Endgame. Das ist auf der Tipp, wo alle anderen sind in front of sie, so viel Arbeit für sie ist, hat sich gemacht, von der einfachen Rolle. Exoclan wird ein bisschen anders machen, aber das ist ein bisschen aggressiv. Es wird ein Kampf für sie zu kommen, um die Zonen zu kommen.
02:17:22 In fact, we can say almost the opposite for Exoclan, where we're looking at Blacklist International going, wow, this rotation saved you a lot of trouble. Exoclans has given them a lot. Now they're dealing with it very well as a 3v3 goes their way. Stay healthy, get deleted, but that's not it for Exo.
02:17:40 Ja, sie haben die Zone hinter dem. Sie sehen, Paschen Uwe. Sie sind in Trouble. Max Strafi wird die letzte Spieler für sie. Die 8-Squads bleiben, als Dänisch machen. Aber sie sehen, wie die Herausforderung für jemanden. Sie haben viele Zolls. Sie haben viele Zolls. Sie haben alle.
02:17:59 Just training their eyes onto these teams that are rotating, but Exoclan, the one involved is they have in this situation as their last to arrive, and they have red evos which allows them to survive for just a little bit longer. The immediate scan of somebody climbing over the rock on you, Slayers deals with this so well though, this actually could be the end of FA Kids. With one down on Exoclan, Swinny does have to take a reset, but they've got enough.
02:18:24 Es ist so funny, we talked about Blacklist International, who are chilling at the moment, over at Dome, feet up, you know, they're got a cocktail in their hand, they're chilling, they're absolutely loving what's happening in the killfeed, because they all have no one near them. On the other side, ExoClan...
02:18:47 Ich meine, sie sind absolut entzündet, aber voll von Adrenalin. Sie haben einfach aus dem Lobby genommen. Und jetzt werden sie sich über die Rats, die auf die High-Ground sind. Das ist die Team, die hier für die ganze Zeit haben, für die ganze Zeit. Sie warten auf den Moment, aber jetzt werden sie ein bisschen zu tun, um die Position zu defendern. Halken geht's.
02:19:06 Und mit Vex auf der Push, ziemlich healthy als auch. Ein Misswing von Densei könnte das Bight verändern. A Smoke macht das Push ein bisschen schwerer. Und ein nice Scan macht das auch. Vex wird von hinterher gezwungen. Das Reset ist nicht geplant, aber es ist auch nicht geplant, aber es ist auch nicht geplant. Note die Lack der Utilität an den inside. Oh, oh, surprise, surprise. Es ist ein Player Climbing-up hier. Absolutely. Oh.
02:19:33 Oh no! Mania! Mania!
ExoClan dominiert das Endgame und sichert sich den Sieg
02:19:57
02:19:57 Betrayal of the Highest Order is committed on the outside. And who shows up to clean this up? But ExoClan from the other side of the zone. Only four teams are left. Make it three as Vex go down. ExoClan hat height. We still have not seen Blacklist International touch the kill feed. But with three squads left, it's a solo from players, Blacklist and Exo. ExoClan have killed everything. Everybody, every team.
02:20:25 Anything that has looked at them, they have killed. It has been an enormous game for them. And remember, they dropped all the way from Sky West, which is quite the way to go. And the way they chose to go certainly wasn't the easiest path for sure. Now the Fuse-Ultz is going to go down as well, but that's going to get eaten immediately. So the one good thing that comes from that is players will be eliminated. And now it's a straight 3v3. As they have info, there's a Watson team below.
02:20:48 I'm gonna throw onto that as well. With a lot of the Fuse ult being eliminated, you do know exactly where everyone is now. You may not be able to do much about it with the Watson gen, but even knowing what height they have to control, Exo do have an advantage. The smoke is causing the problems, however. The nades not finding purchase is really hurting, and this is the second time that Exo, with their Fuse composition, has gone up against a Watson and been left a little listless. And look at this as well. JMW, that gen position is so, so smart, but it looks like Exo clan. I mean, they don't worry about it.
02:21:16 Sie wollen sich auf den Topf der Liederboarden fahren. Sie sehen, sie werden die Aufmerksamkeit verabschieden. Sie werden die Watton verabschieden. Und auch mit Allred Evo, mit all den HP man kann in der Spiel, sie können nicht finden, einen Angle zu spielen.
02:21:31 Und da ist kein Cover, wenn sie dann endlich entscheiden müssen, so Exo hat sich eine Kreative Way zu Bully Blacklist. Und jetzt kommt der Swing von Slayers. Das ist ein LOT von Damage! Slayers may einfach single-handedly have won this fight. Down goes Iarka, down goes Blacklist. Slayers eviscerates the 2nd Squad. Ich meine, das wird einem sehr lange dauern. Das wird einem sehr lange dauern. Wenn du 0 startest, Slayers shows, wie du es gemacht hast, wenn du keinen Cover hast.
02:22:01 Es ist einfach als das. Und ExoClan, ich meine, was ein Spiel. Was ein Spiel. Was ein Spiel für sie. Und ihre Position in den Leaderboards vor dem Spiel. Und danach wird es sehr, sehr unterschiedlich. Ein absoluter Spiel von ihnen. Und ich will sagen, es wird nicht mehr schwerer von dem, von der Rotate.
02:22:16 I am, I am terrified, having watched that game. ExoClan came up against so much adversity. They dealt with it so many times. Many of those times, just pulling a weird rotation offscreen, showing up, cleaning up squads, and we're catching the tail end of it. Getting to watch that fight start to finish, not just towards the south end of launch site, but even towards the north side, up against Stay Healthy. You could tell Exo are in prime fighting form.
02:22:41 Yeah, it's about time we saw them turn up a little bit, right? And again, there were another team that made a little bit of a change coming into this game day. And well, I hate to say after a few games, it looks like it's working, but that kind of performance when you're trying to add firepower to a team certainly does get the confidence in each other as to how those team fights are going to end up going. So keep your eyes, of course, on them as we move through the games. And remember, that's a tough rotate for them. Sky West down to the launch site is a very, very long way to go. A lot of teams to fight through. So you got to wonder what they're going to do if the zone comes a little bit closer to them as well.
02:23:10 Oh, mein Gott. Oh, mein Gott.
ExoClan's Triumph: Ein nuklearer Sieg und die Auswirkungen auf die ALGS
02:23:40
02:23:40 Das ist ein NUK, alle. Wir haben einen NUK auf der ALGS gesucht. Und es ist dank der ExoClan, es ist 18 Kills, mit den 12 Placement Points. Es ist sehr schwer, alle, dass du 30 in der Total-Column sehen. Das ist 30 nach nur einem Spiel. Das ist nicht total. Das ist nicht nach einer Kombination von Spielern, obwohl einige Teams wahrscheinlich nehmen das.
02:24:07 30 points is a monster performance from ExoClan. And let's just do a little bit of quick math now. Our production has informed me that this is 31% of the lobby that ExoClan was able to take out, but I want to make this even simpler. If we take a look further down the leaderboard at FA Kids, who have 12 kills, and we add these together, FA Kids and ExoClan killed 50% of all people that game.
02:24:33 Das ist ziemlich die Stat, ist es? Das ist ziemlich die Stat, und es ist einfach so spannend, wie sie es in so unterschiedliche Weise gemacht haben, richtig? Ich meine, Fakids hatte eine Position, die sie für ein paar Zeit haben, das war etwas, was das sie early an gemacht haben, und dann hat Exo einfach nur der Weg durch die andere Seite der Map und dann haben sie ihre eigene Path gemacht. So, es ist mehr als eine Art Art Art, wie sie sagen, und es ist mehr als eine Art Art Art Art, wie sie sagen, und es ist mehr als eine Art Art Art Art, wie sie sagen. Und ja, wir sehen es für alle. Und ich habe gesagt, NIP, wir hatten es an den Starten des Spiels.
02:25:02 Ich hoffe, dass sie eine Ring-Konsole werden, weil ich denke, dass ich es gibt. Ich sitze hier und ich schaue an Ninjas in Pajamas, aber ich denke, 07. Ich denke, weil sie so schwer für sie sind. So, Blacklist International, für alle, dass sie nicht haben, dass sie so viele Kills haben, mit den zwei Kills zu bekommen, haben sie noch nicht gewonnen.
02:25:30 But Free Agent Kids underneath them at 40 points. Alliance slotting next. And after all of that, it's Exoplan. That was a 30-point game. They have 31 points total. I should say quite a bit about how the rest of the day has gone for them, how much World's Edge can mean to them. And the fortunate thing is, we've got two more games of World's Edge coming up right off the break.
02:26:12 We know the truth of this world, that death finds a way.
02:27:21 This might hurt a bit. Battle Beaver is the official controller partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.
02:27:54 Ja, und wir immer sagen, dass du ein guter POI hast, aber kann man die Games count von said POI? Well, sie hat natürlich das mit 30 Punkten auf der Bord. Wir haben gesagt, dass sie eine sehr bad POI in Devastated Coast, nach Stormpoint zu haben, keine Zonen zu gehen.
02:28:19 And even a zone they didn't pull towards them then, they made it count from SkyWest and really prioritised World's Edge being where they wanted to focus their points coming into that POI draft. Very impressed with their performance, especially considering the team change that we saw coming through as well. But now Exoclan, they put themselves within that conversation right at the top of the leaderboard. We mentioned change, and one thing, of course, that is going to be changing very, very soon is some of the Apex Legends interactions and landscape, right? And here is a more in-depth look.
02:28:47 Ich denke, das ist wichtig für ALGS, die End-Rings werden sehr viel verändert. Wir werden ungefähr 25% auf die Quadrant sehen.
02:29:11 Das würde wahrscheinlich ändern mit diesen Patch Notes, das bedeutet, dass wir ein Fair-Fair-Final-Circle-Szenario für all die Teams in den ALGS.
02:29:30 Ja, etwas zu sagen, ist, dass ich ein paar Leute, die nicht die Havoc sind, die nicht die Havoc sind. Ich bin persönlich ein Controller-Player, die in Pathfinder ist, dass es zu sehen, dass die Havoc ein bisschen genug ist. Aber es ist komplett verstanden. Sie sehen, wie popular es ist und wie strong es ist. Und es ist, dass die mag size reduziert sind für alle mags, including no mag. Und wir haben zu sehen, ob das ist genug, um das zu haben, dass die impact das ist. Ich habe ein Gefühl, es muss ein bisschen mehr sein. Ich denke, es wird immer noch sein. Ich denke, es wird immer noch sein.
02:29:58 Ja, ich glaube nicht, ein MagSize wird es nicht sicherlich ausgehen, aber es wird sicherlich sein, dass die Leute nicht so viel Prioritieren. Aber nur Zeit wird es, als die Patchnoten kommen nächste Woche. Aber wir haben noch ALGS-Action. Wir haben noch zwei mehr Matches hier auf World's Edge. Wir sehen uns ein unglaubliches Spiel aus ExoClan aus SkyWest. Können sie auch noch mehr machen?
02:30:21 We're going to have to find out. It was an absolute monster game. And like I said, if you just joined us, go back and check it out when you get a second. Because it was a real kind of example of, well, what opportunity do we have? Not really too many. Everybody's in a great spot. We're going to have to fight our way to zone. And they just fought their way through 30% of the lobby, I think was the stat. More than 30% of the lobby. But this...
ExoClan's Herausforderungen und NIP's Unerwarteter Aufstieg
02:30:45
02:30:45 This could be a little bit of a surprise for them. Yeah, Rolling Teams are dropping over at Lava Fissure. They're deciding just to creep in because you always expect only one person to be doing trials here. Scans coming in. Three are gonna be scanned and you have to get the feed in the ExoClan.
02:31:05 Ich will sagen, dass Swinny sehr gut ist, um es zu werden. Es ist ja. Und Swinny wird absolut kremen an seinen Monitor. Ich will sagen, Swinny hat sehr gut gemacht, um es schnell zu werden. Und da ist noch viel Hoffdodd.
02:31:31 One player left remaining. Rolling teams are very weak, but Exo have lost Slayers and K-Swinney. And the real question is for the final player on Exo, do you try and fight or is it flight in this situation? And it might have to be flight, which will open things up for players who are, of course, on Sky East. But what a play that is from rolling teams. For all we talk about POI draft and we talk about the fact that there's no contests, things like that can happen. With no contests being directly going on, you can move very quickly.
02:32:00 zu einer POI und fangen die Spieler aus, die individuellen in bestimmten Bereichen werden. Sehr, sehr interessant. So Exoclan, luckily, ich denke, collected genug points von der letzten Woche, um sie zuerst wiederholen, weil sie nicht mehr bekommen haben. Allianz, jetzt machen sie eine Rotation von Harvester. Ich finde, Plan A ist nicht so gut. So sie werden die Back-Side der Brücke für jetzt und vielleicht re-assess, wie sie wollen diese Zonen. Aber all die verrückte Dinge, die zu Beginn haben, und all die Konversationen wir haben...
02:32:27 We haven't even mentioned where the zone is going, and there is where the zone will be going. Towards the train tracks, maybe, I'll tell you what, maybe, maybe, just maybe, don't get ahead of ourselves here, but potential geyser zone as well, maybe on the dome building, who knows? Yeah, I'm trying to look at previous circles. The closest circle we've had so far in ALGS, it kind of finished where...
02:32:50 Dänisch, wo wir jetzt residenken, und wo Allianz ist, in der Mitte der beiden Mountains, zwischen Mord und Geyser. So wir werden sehen, ob es mehr der gleichen und Trends ist. Aber das ist eine solche, wo ich glaube, dass du ein 50-50-spielst wird, von Leuten zu kommen, zu verschiedenen Seiten der Mountain zu kommen. In der Exoclan, wir kommen mit dem finalen Spieler, und sadly, mit No Support Legend...
02:33:15 Es ist einfach nur ein Fall zu versuchen, als Solo zu gewinnen und zu gewinnen, einen Punkt oder so auf dem Board zu gewinnen. Ich bin sicher, als auch, dass er die Beacon-Skannen hat, als auch, von Rollen-Teams aus SkyWest.
02:33:28 They're going to know exactly where he is, and I wonder if they're going to hit an evac or something to try and chase him down. But obviously, I'm looking forward to the final game now to see what happens between those two teams and if there's any beef that carries over, because I imagine that there will be elsewhere towards Big Maud or Large M, as I've now decided to call it, for absolutely no reason. Blacklist International, whose placements today, Dan, have been what puts them in first place. Yeah, I think Blacklist International, their positioning has been incredible so far in this series. They always seem to find themselves in...
02:33:56 One of the more dominant spots towards the endgame. And even though it hasn't necessarily always ended up in a victory, they've always got into those big points and consistently across the board find themselves now in a position where they are in the number one spot and could still be competing for the number one spot as we go into these last two matches. Now Danish, they find themselves on the train tracks. This is the area I was talking about of where the zone does sometimes finish directly where they are currently standing. So whether they will look to try and control this height or move somewhere a little bit different.
02:34:26 Der R-99 ist nicht so gut genug, aber in guter Hand zu tun, dass die Dämpfe ist, in Yung-Hong-Kong zu tun. Das ist ein R-9. Wir sehen, dass es noch ein Team ist, dass es in den R-9 ist. Also, viele Teams sind in diese Position zu kommen. Painish 3D Max ist die Team, und jetzt Forbidden, die sind auch durch die Evac gekommen.
02:34:48 Lots of teams, very, very close to each other as they're trying to play the backside of the eggshell for now. Last time we did see the circle as well, it was a team from Big Maud who won this game, by the way, with a simple-ish rotation as you come through as 3D max won themselves just on the one player now after taking all that damage.
02:35:07 So whether you can do something alone as a Caustic. Sadly, it doesn't look like it's going to happen. 3D Max will be our first team eliminated then. And Rats come out on top and now have one of the positions they can hold for quite some time if they don't get pushed by this squad up on height. I think you've got to be careful because they're holding down the position. You can see that when you... It's very easy to get walked up on this position, right? You have, like you said, the team on Maud who are probably going to be playing height, who have a line of sight. You have the team in Dome, the Broken Shell, I should say, who are...
02:35:34 Ja, ich denke, lack of angles ist immer eine schwierige Position zu finden.
02:36:04 Und das ist, wenn ihr ihr IGL zu versuchen, etwas ein bisschen anders zu kommen, um einen schweren Ort zu kommen. Jetzt, nach Stax, wir wissen, die Circle ist nicht all den Weg zu kommen. Natürlich, FAKs haben die Informationen nicht jetzt, aber ich sage dir was, das wird Vibes werden absoluten verletztert. Ja, das war ein bisschen zu tun. Zidane, für ihn, hat ein bisschen von dem Team in der Broken Shell, das ist fürbidden, glaube ich. Ich glaube, er war es nicht able, zu sofort popieren und schießen die Kills down.
02:36:33 Ja, seit wir Zidane zu sehen, mit der Aggression in der Early-Game und in dem Spiel haben, wir wussten, wie ein confidenter Spieler er bereits war, aber er scheint zu bewegen mehr zu sein.
02:36:58 Und FAKid ist tatsächlich um, um, DMS hier zu sehen, weil sie in der Backkirche sind, und FAKid ist nicht ein Team zu tun, um, ein Fight zu tun. Sie, sie, sie, hat auf einen Swivel gesagt, all right, wir schießen Sie zurück. Wir sind froh, wir versuchen Sie zu versuchen, hier zu versuchen, wenn wir ein Dramatis bekommen, aber Sie sehen die Circle, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
02:37:23 Could be in a good spot if they manage to survive and don't get pressured from teams on height, but being below the train track sometimes is quite difficult to hold. By the way, Exoclanet are still alive, everybody, so it's not over yet. However, as you can see, very lonely member over at Landslide at the moment. It's much more difficult to rotate into this zone in the way that they did previously if you only have one player alive. So, you know, it's simple math. Yeah, I was going to say, it's pretty rough.
02:37:51 But at least there's the option of, you know, getting into the top 15 and getting one point, maybe even getting further and getting a couple of points, because those placement points could be everything for ExoClan as we look towards the end of this series. Now, NIP, a team who hasn't really been able to find points thus yet, only on 11th and 16th position right now, moving from north to south, and they're being chased by both players, and then it would be rolling teams afterwards. But now they've got this position, they've got this choke, NIP are in a spot where they can gatekeep, they can hold out players and maybe...
02:38:21 Ich muss sagen, dass NIP für die 3rd game in a row ist. No Beacon. No Ring Console. Siphon. Es ist Poverty Games für sie, wenn es zu Informationen gibt, und es wirklich affected sie ein bisschen. Sie können von den anderen Leaderboards sehen, dass sie einfach zu spielen, und hoffen ihre Zone Call sind gut genug, oder vielleicht zu gehen aus der Weg, counter-rotate, oder negative-rotate, ich würde sagen.
02:38:48 Und dann werden die Info getrennt und dann alle anderen, natürlich, werden sie übernehmen. Full englisch jetzt, aber es sieht nicht gut aus, denn sie sind sehr gut für sie, weil sie sind viel zu tun, und sie sind in den Zonen. Es ist ein schweres Rotate für sie in den Stacks, aber es ist nicht ein ganzes Team in den Stacks, aber es ist nicht ein ganzes Team in den Stacks, so sie sollten in den Stacks sein können, wenn sie einfach nur in den Stärken gehen können, wenn sie einfach aus den Stärken gehen können.
02:39:11 Ja, ich meine, ich bin zwischen 9 Lies und Fakids, zwei Teams, die in Form sind, und die in Form sind, in der Moment sind nicht gut für dich. Aber Fullenglish, ich liebe das Rappen. Ich versuche, ein bisschen weiter zu gehen, um die Sightlines zu halten, um die Stacks zu halten, und stattdessen zu kommen, um die Back-Side zu kommen.
02:39:28 So, FullEnglish muss man sich in die Lage sein, wie sie sich in die Lage machen.
02:39:43 Well, they should be safe. And I do kind of like this play from them. You can see they got purple armors as well. And if they can maybe instigate a little bit of damage between these two teams, then there will be an opportunity for them to maybe third party. Also interesting to see, they made this rotate based off of ring console information that they've got as well. So they've got zone 3 info, not just zone 2, which makes their life a little bit easier. Like we were having the discussion, is it going to pull towards Geyser, maybe Siphon, or is it going to go to where...
02:40:10 Jetzt haben wir die Info. Die Lobby ist in der Vorstellung. So eine sehr kleine Rotate für sie. Aber ich verstehe. Oh, look at das eine. Ich bin in der Grange Spot. Wer braucht eine Konsole?
02:40:33 Und wieder geht es, was ich an der Starten sagte, es kann entweder nach oder nach dem Mountain gehen, zwischen Geyser und Big Mord. Oder es kann auch beide. Ja, das ist so viel Platz, dass es so viel Platz ist, dass es immer noch viel Platz gibt. Und das bedeutet mehr Fights werden in Zone 3 und Zone 4, weil Teams werden müssen, weil es nicht mehr Platz gibt, weil es nicht mehr Platz gibt, weil es nicht mehr Platz gibt, sondern es ist mehr Platz.
02:41:00 You have to force your way through other teams. So FA Kids, DMS, Lies, Forbidden, Full English, Black Mrs. National, stay healthy. They all are going to be arriving from that southeast side. And likelihood is only one, maybe two of them will survive out of those seven teams that I've just mentioned. Because yes, there is some room to play on the outskirts of Big Mord where all those kind of crates are that you can play around. But not really enough room for more than a team or two.
02:41:25 Ja, das Paintball ist nicht der beste Ort, wie du sagst. Wir sehen uns einen Endzonen da, aber ich muss sagen, ich habe nicht gesehen, dass ich einen für ein paar Zeit gesehen habe, und ich glaube, ein paar Teams sind ein bisschen surprised. Vielleicht ist es auch Dänisch und Gigi, die sind in einem fantastischen Spot.
02:41:38 Ja, Roling teams haben die Reward of Stealing Away Sky West, of course,
02:42:04 Sadly, it's not helped them out with the push, because Alliance have been able to pick off Adam. And now Rolling Teams are going to have to try and do something as a duo, and Alliance, knowing that, take full advantage. But I think Alliance are well aware that it's not just Rolling Teams arriving from the north, so they don't want to be getting too aggressive. And you see Alliance are currently on blues, so maybe a little bit reluctant to get excessively aggressive right now, and just picking and biding their time instead.
02:42:29 Sie sind sicherlich. Vex hat Eliminated in der meantime, so wir sind jetzt 17 in die Lobby. Und Allianz ist in 3rd position in den Overalls. Und jetzt vielleicht haben wir die Möglichkeit, um die finalen zwei Spieler zu clean. Aber Effekt wird ein wenig zu tun. Unlucky wird es auch ein bisschen zu tun. Und dann ist es der 2v2. 2v2, und es ist sehr winnbar für die Opposition-Team der Rollen-Teams. Sie haben die Armour, sie haben die Advantage, aber Allianz haben die Watson. Und die Chance ist, dass wir die Fence-Up und Reset sind hier.
02:42:57 Double Jenny goes down and they do have the Gold Knock as well, which is going to allow them to get back up to a three and have enough health to fight. Nine Lights will be eliminated in the meantime. Forbidden now making their forceful move through and it is going to have to be a force one because look at where the zone is in the top left of your screen and look at where they find themselves outside of stack. So any fight is going to be good for them. Zero nothing, even though he's down, it's still doing a job of providing information and DMS will be eliminated but forbidden.
02:43:24 Well, they might be next to go as well, as Aku is the last player alive.
02:43:28 Well, Top 15, so those who have survived have got one placement point, one of those being ExoClan, right from the very start, have been able to pick up one placement point as a solo rat. FA Kids now will hold the little dome area here, the eggshells that they can work with, and they'll be the only team really in this southern area, so they'll be able to be residing here until the zone forces them in. By the way, we did see rolling teams get eliminated, so ExoClan outplaced rolling teams in the end, and it works out, despite the fact rolling teams were very aggressive.
02:43:56 Ja, wir sehen uns also GGB eliminatet in der meantime, was Ratznell, die diese Tracks position haben und müssen in ein paar Moments Zeit gehen.
02:44:06 The winner of this fight has to then fight NIP, who are at the top of this hill.
02:44:35 So, es geht von schlecht zu schlecht hier. Wenn du diese Engagement gewonnen hast, wenn du Allianz oder Spieler bist, und eigentlich der Solo von Exo-Clan ist, ist, dass Exo-Clan jetzt in den Top 10 getrennt. Es gibt mehr Placement Points, aber Allianz ist sehr gut hier zu halten, um hier zu bekommen. Ja, wirklich, wirklich gut zu bekommen. Jetzt, kann sie NIP-Forschern zurückkehren? Das ist die Frage für sie. Sie werden sicher in diesem Bereich sein, aber look at die Angle NIP-Forschern.
02:45:00 So difficult to move through. Players eliminated in the meantime as we move over to FA Kids. They are looking like this might be the end of their road and at the end of their game here as Exoclan will also be eliminated. But an amazing job from Feuder to get into the placement points and keep his team on that roll of momentum after an unpredictable start to say the least. It's Danish who are commanding all of the space in the middle of this zone. Alliance do get eliminated. FA Kids also go down. Passion UA and Danish doing a job together to kind of...
02:45:28 Das ist das, was wir hier in der Mitte des Zones gemacht haben.
02:45:43 Und Scherb ist mit einem Mozan, mit einem neuen Attachments. Das ist die Giga-Chad-Wahne zu spielen. Und ich respecte es für einen. Full-Englisch, doch. Look at them. Sie haben gewonnen, dass sie sich auf jeden Fall haben. Hier sind ein paar Dettboxen für sie zu spielen. Und wir haben gesagt, dass sie sich auf jeden Fall haben. Und dann ist es sehr, sehr schwierig geworden. Nun sieht man, dass sie sich in die Position zu gewinnen, mit dem Traffic zu spielen.
02:46:05 Well, mit der Chance zu sehen, ob sie können sie gewinnen können, zu hören und sehen, wie die Fuhl-Englisch fühlen jetzt.
02:46:34 I'm only a bit wider right now. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go on there. I'm gonna go on there. I might get wide left by this dude. No, you need to watch that sniper guy, okay? I have only one bed if you guys have beds. I have a good angle for the duo though. Okay, yeah. Let me know if you're small, guys. Stand ready. We killed the Valk now. Yeah, no. I killed the Valk. I killed the Valk. I killed the Valk. Yeah. I got it. I'm buying, I'm buying, I'm buying. I got the fucking Valk. I'm gonna inch of it. I'm gonna...
02:47:05 Ich bin nicht. Ich bin nicht. Ich bin nicht. Ich bin nicht.
02:47:21 Go over the wall, go over the wall, go over the wall. No, no, hold no, it's Orioles, right? Yeah. I'm kind of good at me, bro. Can you crawl around to Lidl? Yeah, I'm going back. I'm going over the wall. Pick him, pick him.
Dänisch sichert sich den Sieg, NIP überrascht mit dem zweiten Platz
02:47:39
02:47:39 I went over the wall. Standing right back. Well, some big Skydates came in as we found ourselves down to three squads remaining now. And NIP, no beacon, no problem. They are in a great position here to turn their fortunes around. Yeah, you said they've just been playing off gut instinct. Well, the gut instinct has got them into one of the better spots now.
02:47:58 für dieses Final Circle. Es ist ein 3v3v3. Full English took viel damage, aber sie haben sich in den Wettbewerden zu resetten, aber Sie können in den Wettbewerden sehen, dass sie ein bisschen mit BATS und BATS haben, so sie einfach nur ein bisschen zu helfen. Also, im Moment, Dänisch haben die R.V. das wir vorhin schon erwähnt haben, so sie haben die größte Koffer in der Lobby in der Moment. Sie haben auch die kleinen Fences zu arbeiten, aber NIP sind in den Wettbewerden.
02:48:27 Look at this angle coming in from Natsuki as well. Shooting through the stairs. Gets the crack. He's trying to force the team or try and get a knock so that they can take a bit more space here. And NIP, what an opportunity this is. Three games in a row without information to play off of. The previous two missed opportunities for sure, but maybe not their fault. And this time they have their own destiny in their hands.
02:48:51 Taking a little bit of a peek on that staircase, but not able to get that damage again. And NIP, who are one of the teams in the top eight in those playoff spots as we came into today, but they don't want to fall behind. They want to keep pushing their advantages. Now Amphi's just gone down, and NIP should be able to get the res, though, because they've got the catwall available to them. Two catwalls down, one has already fallen, and now you can see Danish are going to be potentially pushed here by full English.
02:49:15 Danish should take this unless we see anything miraculous from NIP or Full English. But Danish have everything they could possibly want. It's as easy as that. Danish get the victory. They held their...
02:49:45 Danisch mit den Wynn. Es war eine Position they held for quite some time and when we first checked in with them, it was kind of like, how do they survive this? How do they get into a position to win this game? Or has the zone just kind of shifted and shifted away from where maybe some of the teams were expecting and towards where their position essentially was?
02:50:14 Getting hold of that RV, that truck was so important for them in that endgame. But I want to give a huge shout out as well to NIP. I mentioned how they've had to play with no beacons and really kind of had their games affected by it in the previous games. Sometimes that's just the roll of the dice. Well, getting into a second place there, I think they managed to close out in those final moments. It's going to be huge for their confidence, knowing that there's still a little bit more Apex to play today. Yeah, NIP did well as well then. When they lost their first player in that 3v3v3, very easily could have been pushed, could have gone down, finished in third place. But they were able to find a position.
02:50:42 to get out of the sightlines of Danish. And then Danish instantly shifted their focus and it allowed NIP to pick up more points. And they'll be pretty happy with what they've been able to achieve. Now, moving forward, NIP, they'll be hoping they get a beacon or a ring console to work with just so they can get any sort of extra information as maps go forward. I think if you're adding up the stats, they should get both is how I feel right now. And it should be...
02:51:05 Both with like 7 Evo Harvesters next to them as well, they'll probably say. And that's what we're owed at the moment. But one team who probably feels like they're owed an explanation is Exoclan for what happened at the start of that game. Because that was something that I did not have on my bingo card. They did manage to survive. The Rat got into the top 10 though. So at least placement points achieved. So job done for the solo. But yeah, rolling teams deciding, dropping at Lava Fissure to say, well, why should we give...
02:51:31 Sky West, just to the team that's next to us, how about we actually try something a little bit different? We know there's usually only one player that does trials on their own, and it is the biggest indication of being able to send it on someone with all the information that is possibly there for you. You wait until that button is hit, you wait until those problems come out, and then you full send.
02:51:51 Es ist nicht die Welt's Edge, die Allianz vielleicht hätte so far.
02:52:20 von Harvester, aber noch ein paar Punkte zu halten, um sie zu gewinnen. Und dann haben wir die Early-Leavers, Nine Lives, Vex, 3D Max und DMS alle gehen ohne einen Punkt. Aber was wichtig ist, dass diejenigen, die Vorbidden, Rolling Teams und Gaming Gladiators, die zu bekommen, um sichern, dass sie etwas zu finden, um sie zu treffen.
02:52:46 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal.
02:53:05 You can see they're probably a little bit frustrated they didn't get some of those kills of the teams coming out of Geyser. Only came away with five total KP in that game, but more important for them is they got the points on the board to put them within striking distance. And what I mean by that is you look at them at the moment, the overalls, they're down in 12th, right? NIP, 12 placement points, 13 kills overall, 25 points, but one big game in this last game, and you could be up in that top five, so their fortunes could certainly change. They really could, and, you know, the top five is...
02:53:34 Ich glaube, es ist Fakids, aber es ist Fakids, aber sie sind sehr nahe bei Blacklist International, die sind sehr gut mit der Positionierung, haben sich in fast alle Final-Circles gewonnen. Ja, sie haben nicht gewonnen, sie haben nicht gewonnen, sie haben nicht gewonnen, sie haben nicht gewonnen, sie haben nicht gewonnen, sie haben nicht gewonnen, sie haben nicht gewonnen, sie haben nicht gewonnen, aber sie haben in die Konversation, und wenn sie es wieder tun können, vielleicht haben sie eine Chance zu finden, wenn die Series enden.
02:53:58 So we find ourselves in a very similar position that we have in the last couple of weeks, right? Everybody's so, so tight. Everybody's so, so close together when it comes to those points. And the final game is going to decide how that leaderboard looks. Make sure that you're here in a few minutes because we've got our final game coming up on Wild's Edge. We'll see you in just a few.
02:55:50 It's time to join us.
02:55:52 Ja, wir haben unsere Lobby-Leaders, wir haben unsere Favourites in diesem Spiel. Aber wie wir gesehen haben, haben wir große Spiele gehabt, und wir haben bereits die Chance gehabt, und wir haben bereits die Chance gehabt. Wir haben bereits die Möglichkeit, die vorhin zu sehen, die vorhin zu sehen.
02:56:20 No ring console, no problem. They still got into the final circle and still gave themselves the opportunity to get into the top two. Yeah, interesting point coming in from Deir here, just feeling some stats to us from behind the scenes. This Blacklist International I want to kind of highlight because the last team, last time, excuse me, these two lobbies went up against each other, these two groups, they placed 20th. So a real turnaround for them and NIP were actually the winners with 70 points.
02:56:44 Well, if we do see the likes of ExoClan have a game like they did in Game 4...
02:57:08 then they can still find themselves at the top of the leaderboard. That's what's kind of scary for those who are leading at the moment is a big game can change everything for any of these teams.
02:57:20 One more game to go then, and if you want to watch it, of course, you can watch the final match on FaceIt if you want to choose a point of view to watch, and maybe ExtraClan point of view might be a good one to start with to see what happens over at SkyWestern Trials, but this is what it comes down to, everybody. One match to decide where the leaderboards end up standing towards the end of the day, because it is a couple of points between every single placement, and things can certainly turn around, even if you're in that, I would say, 15th and up spot. You can be...
02:57:48 Top of the world going into this game. At the end of it, you can be absolutely gutted. So here we go then. Starting off with the winners of previous game, it's going to be Danish. Danish, who found themselves in a brilliant position in the previous game, but of course dropping over towards Geyser, they had one of the priority spots and one of the priority rotates to get into that position they found themselves in. Is it going to be more difficult with the next zone? I can already tell you the answer is yes, because we're going to be heading a little bit further west this time. I was going to say northwest, but we're actually going to be going...
02:58:17 around Landslide, Staging, and Harvester. I am keeping an eye on the map. By the way, Rolling Team's not contesting Exoclan at Trials. It does mean that Exoclan did decide to take two players over towards Trials this time, just to ensure that they weren't going to get pushed. Well, let's talk about zone. Let's talk about where we're going to be going. And it's a good zone for Alliance. And if I had to... I was going to say, if I had to put my money on it...
02:58:42 And then I realised I'd said that sentence because I'm still not 100% sure which side it's going to pull. Although I will say the little respawn building between Staging and Harvester is a pretty good bet for now. But with how much of Landslide is in, still a possibility it might pull towards that, maybe even towards the tracks where Vex are at the moment. So a tough one to read once again. Maybe Zone 3 info is going to be vital, but at least NIP, they don't actually have a ring console, do they? Again, they have a survey beacon, but they don't have a ring console.
02:59:11 Just pure sadness for NAP. I mean, it's difficult as well. When you only have the Serving Beacon, do you want to hit it early? Do you want to hit it early to try and get the Evo? Or do you try and wait a little bit and delay your rotation to get the information? And usually it's A, you just want it for the Evo and then you move on and you just try and go with your gut instinct on where you think the zone is going to be anyway. But sadly for NAP, yeah, it's going to be a tough old journey for them once more as we can also see...
Team Positionierung und Zonen Vorhersagen
02:59:39
02:59:39 Team's now setting up in the areas around Staging. So PassionUA inside of Staging, they're going to be playing the main building. Elsewhere Alliance at the moment, they have the benefit of both Ring Console and Survey Beacon, although Survey Beacon was a little bit exposed. I imagine they would have hit that as quickly as possible, not for the info, but for the Evo, like you say.
03:00:02 The English now moving their way in as well from Monument side. They're going to be going into Harvester alongside Nine Lies, Full English. They're going to be also arriving from the south side through the train tunnel. And Vex who have moved up to this position in and around Landslides seem like they maybe have a little bit of a different read on where they believe things are going to be going.
03:00:19 Yeah, I think the closest circle we've had so far in the ALGS, it pulled towards Harvester, but there was a lot less of Landslide that was within this zone, so it's harder to commit to it. When it does pull towards Harvester, it goes into the north-west area of Harvester, just under the height, where you have to then drop down. It's not quite on the Snake like we used to see it, but instead it's just kind of in the cranny between the two. And we are seeing Alliance Nine Lies kind of playing that area right now, but...
03:00:48 Could still pull a little bit further away. I mean, passionately, they're banking on it going towards staging. And it's entirely possible that we get an area where it finishes towards staging as well. Between staging and landslide, we've seen Circles finish there too. Yeah, this is a pretty difficult one to read. And I think you're seeing that at the moment based upon a lot of teams' position on our map overhead. Like a lot of teams essentially spread. It looks like...
03:01:10 Vex, jetzt haben wir über die Landslide gespielt, um die Ring-Console zu spielen. Jetzt werden wir in die Tunnel gehen und zurück nach dem Harvester-Side gehen. So das wird uns ein guter Info geben, wo wir glauben, dass es weitergehen wird. Looks wie so viel Landslide ist, dass es weitergehen wird. Aber, ich meine, ich bin historisch ziemlich gut auf meine Zone-Calls, aber ich habe so viele Funky-Calls gesehen. Ja, ein paar...
03:01:36 ...difficult zones to try and predict for sure, and that sometimes means you just have to think on your feet a little bit more, which is what the IGLs have been doing successfully so far. 3D Max dodging, dipping at the moment just to keep themselves alive, and they should be absolutely fine here for now.
03:01:53 Bless you. Damn, I muted my mic just like a second too late now. I thought I'd finished my sentence at the perfect time, but a millisecond too late. God damn it. It's okay. You can mute up now, because there's always part two and part three of a sneeze. We always know that, so take your time. Take your time. It's all good. Not too much action taking place right now, although we do see a knock coming in from Tolkien onto Sir Del, so Phil English is going to have one knock. I'm interested to see if that turns into a kill on a death box, or if they'll be able to get him back on his feet, but 3D Max.
03:02:22 Das ist in der Skyhook im Moment. Die Exoclan sind gut. Die Exoclan sind gut. Die Exoclan sind gut. Nichts passiert. Nichts passiert. Die Rolling-teams sind auf der Souten der Skyhook West im Moment.
03:02:35 Players also kind of in and around Skyhook, Gaming Gladiators at the moment. We saw them a few moments ago. They were around the Beacon Building Grandma's house towards the north of Monument. Rats at the moment just playing the hype, holding some teams out for now, but a little bit of slow last game. And it doesn't surprise me to see that, right? Because everybody knows that this is one game that can change a huge amount of placements for them.
03:03:01 Especially when, right at the start of the show, we were looking at that magic number and we were looking at how teams are going to have to find themselves get to playoffs and how many points they would average feed every single series they played. And for a lot of teams, they need kind of top three each time to guarantee themselves into those playoffs. So for the likes of FA Kids, Blacklist International, Danish, who are in the top three at the moment, they want to stay there for those big points.
03:03:27 Oh, Natsuki is going to take a little bit of damage. And it's going to be Ratsua looking down on NIP at the moment from the area that we saw just a few moments ago. The kind of ridge line between where the majority of these teams find themselves right now outside of Harvester and between staging. So NIP are going to take a little bit of a wider rotate by the looks of things. The meds here. It looks like Hanfeet's got a couple of med kits. So they should be able to buy a little bit of time. But it looks like they might...
03:03:51 Ja, das ist ein bisschen weitergegangen. So, vielleicht ist es, wenn wir die in Zone gehen, wir können sagen, dass wir eine Ring Console haben. Ja, das ist ein bisschen. Ja, das ist ein bisschen. Ja, das ist ein bisschen. Also, Zone ist ein bisschen weitergegangen. Das heißt, wir können mit der Zone enden mit der Zone enden, dass wir eine Ring Console haben.
03:04:19 kind of on the northwest side of Harvester, under the height that Nine Liza's currently playing, and towards the area that Alliance find themselves as well. It's that kind of open area. It's not going to finish within Harvester. It's going to be the open area next to it if it continues to move the way I think. Now, Forbidden, who are going to be up towards Landslide, they can maybe get some kills on Landslide and then force their way through the Vault, but maybe they're unknowingly...
03:04:44 Walking their way into their demise if they do go through Vault, because Vex currently hold the Vault area. Yeah, a lot of these teams are trying to kind of funnel through a very small choke point at the moment, and as we always know, when that happens, there's usually only one team that comes out healthy from that position. One good thing here for Forbidden is they do have 0-0 on the Core Stick, so they can at least buy a little bit of space here and get an indication if a team does pop through.
Teamrotationen und Kämpfe um Positionen
03:05:0703:05:07 Ja, Exoclan, Rolling Teams and Outplayed are all in the same kind of rotation at the moment, making their way on the far west. Also, FA Kids.
03:05:35 They're going to be in a pretty good spot right now on the southern side, but they are noticing other areas and other teams in the vicinity. Yeah, there's some big, big shots. I mean, they didn't really poke that much, but just great teamfire coming in. And now they're going to have to burn the catwall to get him back onto his feet, but that's why you have the catwall, right? It gives you opportunities to reset as well as rotate. No armor swap going to come in so that everybody has a little bit of health to play with.
03:06:02 A few meds being shared out as well, but the only problem with getting Nox in that position is now you don't have the catwalk for your necks rotate. Now they will be safe and they will be able to hold this choke for quite some time, but one team who's probably not feeling too safe right now is NIP, because Amphi is out of the game and it's up to Zeyn and Natsky to survive. Yeah, the saving grace for FA Kids was that three teams turned up at the same time and they all started shooting each other, NIP being one of them, Rats and DMS, all trying to force their way through this same tunnel on the south.
03:06:29 Rats and DMS getting the job done working together.
03:06:56 Ja, I imagine all those conversations are going to be coming in from NIP as well. A little bit frustrated, I would imagine, with the cards that have been dealt today. But Rats, they take care of them for now. Elsewhere, you did see that GG and Blacklist International have a little bit of a poke as they try and work their way through the choke towards Harvester. But as we stay on board here with the fight that's taking place outside of Thermal, onto this Ridgeline, there's so many teams who have stacked up at the moment. You can see Rats, FAKID, and DMS all in the vicinity and all want to take control of this tunnel.
03:07:23 Ja, FA-Kids just need to be a little bit careful they don't over-commit, because they do have the high ground to work with on that eastern side. DMS might get forced back. Elsewhere you can see 3D Max, they're on the north. They're fighting players at the moment, just coming out of Monument. They might have to actually force this engagement, because I don't think they're gonna have time to try and move away and rotate out of this one. Yeah, this zone's gonna start hurting as well, so the longer this fight takes, the bad news...
03:07:48 Worst news, I should say, is for every single player who's involved in this fight, and for 3D Max of the team who are behind players at the moment. Essentially, both teams are just damaging each other, and you would imagine that Blacklist International, who are overlooking this safe in-zone at the moment, should be the benefactors of it. There are Blacklist International. I mean, it's a great shot from our observers to show you exactly how things are looking, and that's right at the top right-hand side of your screen. So everybody with some pretty tough decisions to make outside of Blacklist International on that side.
03:08:16 So Zone is continuing to trend towards the area I previously mentioned, so just north of where Nine Lies are.
03:08:23 In that open area has been the final circle many a times. Sometimes back in the day it used to drift towards the snake of where Alliance are holding as well. But I think it's more likely to be in the open space, which is going to be difficult for a lot of teams arriving late. Now Gaming Gladiators on this eastern side, they're being contested by Stay Healthy, but also other teams that could join this fight if you're not careful. So you either want to finish it quickly or just avoid it entirely.
Eliminierungen, Zonenbewegungen und Strategische Entscheidungen
03:08:46
03:08:46 Ja, das ist ein wirklich schwerer Spot. Sie sehen, dass sie gar nicht mehr cover haben. Allianz ist einfach nur ein bisschen zu öffnen hier. Hackers ist ein off-angler, um sie zu machen, um sie zu machen. Und, unfortunately, es sieht aus wie das Ende des Jahres für GG ist. Die Last-Swingen kommen und Gaming Gladiators werden beeliminatet. So, eine andere Team, die auf der Topf der Leaderboards ist, fällt aus early. Und für Teams, wie Stay Healthy...
03:09:07 Ja, Gaming Gladiator ist die erste Team in den Top 10 in den Overalls zu gehen. Aber das zeigt sich, wie du es zu sehen hast, 3D Maxx, Rolling Teams, 9 Lies, Vexx, die all die Gämming Gladiators sind.
03:09:29 And even further up, players also go down. That's another team in the top ten. They were in sixth coming into this, so they won't be able to get any further. They won't be able to progress. And then rolling teams go down. So we've just had three teams within our top ten eliminated in such quick succession.
03:09:43 We're about to have another team eliminated as well, as Andy Jax is spraying desperately, but unfortunately the Zone is going to claim not just ExoClan, but him as well, you would imagine. That's 3D Max, so the Zone's closing behind them, but there's still a little bit of time to craft on your way through. It will be safe, ANCL played eliminated, 13 squads now remaining, and all of these teams, on this northern side by the way, still have to rotate, and everyone has banked on the rotate through the Volt Tunnel, so everybody here...
03:10:11 Und das sind vier Teams, btw, die Vex zu behalten, die in der Moment haben zu gehen. Und ihr wisst, die es noch schwierig ist? Blacklist International. Sie nicht nur durch die 3D Max, aber dann für Midden und dann Vex. Vex, excuse mich, ich habe gesagt Vex drei times heute. Easy mistake. Easy mistake zu machen, es ist ein Habit zu machen. Aber ja, Blacklist International kann nicht nach links gehen, sie müssen nach links gehen. Sie müssen nach links gehen.
03:10:34 And sadly for them, even if they're able to beat 3D Max in a straight 3v3, it won't be a straight 3v3, because Forbidden are just waiting in the wings to try and pick up the pieces of what potentially could happen.
03:10:45 So weak, though. Forbidden have to be quick and take full advantage of how much damage they've been able to lay down.
03:11:14 von der Distanz. Und sie sollen schnell clean das ab. Blacklist International sind all die weg aus dem Tunnel, btw, um sich zu erinnern. Aber mit der Zone zu verlassen in fünf Sekunden, Blacklist International müssen dann eine Evac-Tower zu gehen.
03:11:31 Ich weiß nicht, dass sie nicht mehr Evac werden können.
03:11:50 Und sie haben gerade auf der High Ground. Ja, sie sind in der Mitte, in der Mitte, aber sie sind sehr gefährlich für diejenigen, die sich um sie befinden. By the way, jetzt FA Kids und Blacklist International sind in 1st place auf 50 Punkte. Vex, jetzt haben wir die Pfeifen von Forbidden kommen aus diesem Tunnel. Und Vex haben viele Dämmer gemacht, aber sie werden mit Dämmer auf dem Weg gehen.
03:12:09 Es ist nur ein Spieler, glaube ich, für sie zu tun. So eine 2v1 Situation. Vielleicht ist es ein 2v2. Vielleicht ist es ein bisschen closer, als wir dachten. Aber mit 11 Quads jetzt noch remaining, Vex haben versucht, die Zeit für diese Teams zu warten. Es ist ein 2v1 für sie, und sie sollten das Res.
03:12:29 Speaking of the rotator, speaking of the craziness, back to the Zone themselves. Danish down on the low ground, Blacklist International banged centre of Zone now as FA Kids, who are in first place overall at the moment, make their move.
03:12:41 Ich denke, was wichtig ist, dass Blacklist International survived und ihre Rotation war, und sie waren able, zu stoppen all die Dämpfe von dem Dämpfe. Speaking von Dämpfe, Fakids auf der westen Seite sind jetzt nach Blacklist International und Rats. Es sieht aus wie Rats ist die Team sie waren able, und die Fakids sind dabei, aber Fakids müssen diese Dämpfe, und dann finden sie ihren Weg in die Zone. In der Moment sind sie noch in Joint 1st und sie versuchen noch mehr Punkte, als Vex geht in 9.
03:13:05 Und der Zone ist pulling.
03:13:28 ...toward that Snake that I was speaking of, but it will be outside of the Snake where it finally finishes. So Alliance will be fine to reside here as they take down another squad. Passion U.A. are above them. But the big news with Blacklist International going down means it blows it wide open for FA Kids to win this entire thing. It's going to be down to FA Kids or Alliance here. Alliance at the moment are 10 points behind FA Kids, which they can catch up if they win this game and eliminate FA Kids.
03:13:55 I mean, Alliance are desperately trying to hold. You can see they took out the drone as well, so the EMP is not going to be able to be used here by Passion UA, which would have stunned them all into a corner. And Effect has also got an EVA-8, which is the perfect weapon to hold these narrow doorways. It looks like Alliance somehow will be able to reset through all of this. Holding off the third party, you've got to say, it's a combination of teams shouting towards those doors, getting those fences down as well, and just staggering this push.
Endgame-Strategien, Teamkämpfe und der Triumph von FA Kids
03:14:21
03:14:21 So Alliance just trying to keep Pashnuay at bay. Fakids are more concerned about Nine Lies, who are on the south side, on the height that we mentioned right at the start when we saw it was trending towards Harvester as well. But Nine Lies have just lost one player on their rotation, so that will open things up for Fakids. Yeah, they lost them to Zone as well, I'm pretty sure, as Nine Lies now play down on the low ground. Fakids have complete control of the height that you can see here, and they've got full red evos.
03:14:46 Alliance at the moment have the majority of the cover. If they can survive and wait for other teams to be forced to engage outside of this snake building, then they will be in a position to maybe win this game and they also have the weaponry to do it.
03:15:00 Alliance would have to get every remaining kill here if they want to find themselves winning the entire thing. But with Nine Lives going down and FA Kids picking up yet another set of kills, that probably confirms that FA Kids should take this entire series. But to be sure, they want to be winning the whole thing. But they have the high ground, they have the position, and they've got the armors. Everything you could possibly want to win this game now. Well, we might see a repeat of game number one here. Alliance versus...
03:15:27 Fakids. And last time it was Fakids in the 3v3 who got that win. And Alliance had the better Evos that time around. Well, this time it's Fakids who have got the better Evos. So we'll have to see if they can deal with Pash and UA.
03:15:38 No ult for Zidane, but I don't think it's going to matter too much. They just need to make sure they're playing together here. Don't overexpose yourself. Don't overextend and get taken out and put your team in a scenario where they have to fight as a two. Zidane is taking a very aggressive position, which can work out, but it can also be a detriment if you're not too careful.
03:16:05 Yeah, he's being looked over by his two teammates here, so they should be able to kind of help him in any situation where he has to escape or needs a little bit of assistance. Bang in center of zone and will be able to take the height. FA Kids have the zone for now. It's just about if they get the KP alongside a potential win to close out the day as well.
03:16:24 Max Strafi will go down again. This time they'll get the finish. And now passing ULA will be completely and utterly eliminated. Zidane will get the armor swap. And now it is that 3v3 we were talking about. But surely FA Kids with Zidane once again leading the line. Will be able to close out and get the win in the final game of the day here. But maybe Effect has got something to say about it. Jay Savage goes in now and it's a 1v2. I'm pretty sure to close things out here in the favor. Actually it's a 1v1 to close things out. Jay Savage is trying to move up here.
03:16:53 FA Kids get the job again, they finish just as they started with another victory hats off to Alliance for sending themselves up in tied second place with Black Mist International as well but it is FA Kids who win by quite a considerable margin in the end and it is all about their aggression and how they play as a team the confidence in every single fight
03:17:21 They find themselves engaged in. Yeah, one thing I love about how they play that endgame as well is they know that Zidane is the player who's going to output the most damage in a 1v1 scenario, right? So they position themselves essentially as him as the center of attention for them to deal with. Zidane is then feeding information back and saying, hey, I've damaged here. Now you look at that. Help me escape, right? And it's just a perfect example of synergy with baiting and switching from the team.
03:17:44 On top of the fact that they had such a strong position when it comes to the extreme height that they had. So an amazing job for them to win it. And then you need the clutch factor, right? It's the one thing you can never really quantify when it comes to 1v1 moments. And they had it. The 1v1 is won and they win the day. Also very impressive the way that FA Kids were able to move their way into that circle. We started to see it trending towards Harvester. The team within Harvester was Alliance. But sometimes you can see the difference for playing late and playing edge and taking...
03:18:12 kind of better positions rather than forcing yourself into that zone. Kind of have to if you are Alliance dropping over towards Harvester, but they were kind of stuck in that snake. And sadly, if you are in that spot, you can't take one of the priority positions. You're probably going to finish top three from there, but winning is very difficult. Now they were so close to winning it in that final fight. So we do have to give credit to Alliance for giving it a good effort, but sadly weren't able to come on top, but they still do.
03:18:35 Finish in joint second. And it is going to come down to a tiebreaker between them and Blacklist International for who takes second place today. Yeah, very, very intense final game there. And for a second, I thought that this was just all FA Kids in that final moment. I felt like it was a 2v1. And then all of a sudden I'm like, wait, this is a 1v1. Somehow Alliance have managed to equal this fight up and one player's got to climb and one player doesn't have to climb.
03:18:56 I almost expected to see an Alliance banner jump up, but it isn't going to be what we do see in that final moment there. But again, what an incredible set of games we had today, right? It comes down to the last moments of the last games. And I think Amira at the moment is pretty crazy to watch with the, I would say, the unpredictability factor that we are seeing. But FA Kids with 15 kills in 27, I mean, sometimes you just put it in your own hand saying, hey, I get it done myself. Yeah, I think that's the difference when you can move in with the zone and you can take fights, you can win fights, you can gain better armor, you can gain better loot.
03:19:24 On the flip side for Alliance, it was having a position to hold from the very start, getting a couple of fights when people do push your area and winning them, but FA Kids just making it no doubt that they would be winning this series today. FashionUA also giving it a valiant effort in the final game to try and get more on the leaderboard for themselves, 12 points on the board, and that it's the consistent six plus points for those who were just a little bit lower in the first half of this leaderboard.
03:19:51 Ja, es ist interessant zu sehen, wie Allianz dealt mit Passion U.A. auch, weil es eine wirklich große Moment für Allianz war, um einen Top-3 zu einem Top-2 zu gewinnen, mit einer Möglichkeit zu gewinnen, war das EMP, die sich in die Sekunde zu haben. Wenn das geht, dann wird das Stunnen, die Fences geschehen, die Watsons, und all of a sudden, Passion U.A. kann in und vielleicht take Allianz down. Aber sie hält es auf, hat das Drone genommen, bevor es zu viel von einem Nuisanz genommen ist. Und auf der anderen Seite, Sie sehen, NIP, ich meine, was ein Tag es für sie hat, und ich meine, das in der...
03:20:17 Ich glaube, wir haben auch ein Sympathy für sie und was sie haben zu spielen. Aber bei der anderen Seite sieht man, die Ancel-Player sind ein bisschen quiet heute. DMS, ich habe nicht gesehen, dass sie nichts von ihnen aussehen. Und das ist ein Day, wo viele Kills in den letzten Spielen gehen.
03:20:33 ... ... ... ... ...
03:20:52 Final standings before playoffs, when we look at which teams qualify, today could have made a huge difference. I mean, of course, every week, every series does make a big difference, but this one was significant because it was the last round again of the second round robin, when you're able to really put yourself ahead of certain teams. Hi dear, welcome back.
03:21:11 Vielen Dank.
03:21:37 Ja, der Exo-Balldozer ist das, was das Game wird bemerkt als. Wir waren lucky genug zu sehen, vieles von der POV zu sehen. Das ist das, was ihr zu sehen.
03:22:01 in positions where they're kind of forced to fight and with the Red Evos you feel so confident a lot of the time and the way that they pinched here towards the end we were thinking hey they have no cover to play with but we forgot that they had Slayers and he had havoc and it doesn't really matter if you have no cover to play if the team who are responding to you get absolutely decimated in that first push so a very impressive performance from them and that was a 30 plus point game I think they put on the board
03:22:25 Ja, absolut wild von dem. Und wenn wir auf den zweiten Spiel kamen, ich war gefragt, was die ExoClan machen würde. Sie eigentlich nicht mehr zu participate. Instead, es gab all die Spaß im Endgame für alle anderen. Danisch, of course, performte sehr gut, aber Ninjas in Pajamas fand eine sehr spannende Herausforderung. Notabeneh, wir haben nicht gehört, ohne Beacon zu tun, dass alles über das, was wir callen es, Large M, Gaskin? Large M war was Marc mit.
03:22:55 We have known as Large M for a few years as well, ever since he started putting on that muscle. But then Match 6 is when we saw just an incredible performance from FA Kids to dominate the lobby with kills and then also find themselves in a very strong final position. But we have to give credit to Alliance who competed in these final moments. And I just want to touch upon something you said, Dear, as well, with the difference between last time these groups played to when they played today. And the POI draft has changed everything. Previously in splits, we'd be like, oh, you know, slightly concerning.
03:23:24 If a team finishes first and then finishes 16th, what's happened? They're suddenly really terrible. But it can be down to a poor POI draft. Maybe you didn't get as good of selections as previous times, or for NIP's scenario, they just didn't get any ring consoles today, which can really hurt them. But it's about getting a good amount of points on the board when you have a bad week, whether that be via your POI draft when you're not in a good position.
03:23:47 Or if you just have bad luck when it comes to some of those rings and ring consoles, if you can pick up good points in your bad weeks, you will find yourself in a good spot as the series has come to an end. I mean, I'm really impressed with the way that a lot of our teams have been able to adapt. And I know that we are talking about quite a few of the squads that made it into the top couple. One that's really standing out to me is Blacklist International. We'll get the chance to talk to them a little bit later, but I spoke to Hiyarka.
03:24:14 Before Split One Playoffs, talking about POIs. And they were one of those squads that felt like they were going to be the most adaptable moving into this POI draft because they've never really cared about where they led. Their game plan does adapt so often from game to game. But I think with a lot of other factors.
03:24:33 including the Bangalore Bloodhound and every other team, I think, scrambling to adapt themselves. There's been a lot of unreliability. It's not just that you may not know what you're going to do out of your POI, but that a lot of other squads up until this late into the season...
03:24:47 Also may not have a great idea of what they're going to do. However, with the second round robin concluding, these are your results for the series of Groups B and Group C. Free Agent Kids, or FA Kins, managed to make their way all the way to first place, absolutely decimating their results from last time these two met, with 75 points, dwarfing the second place score. Alliance, they did well on set, but 50...
03:25:16 Es ist eine Far Cry von 75.
03:25:45 Ich glaube, es ist eine gute Zeit für die Zonen. Aber auf der anderen Seite, wenn man die Zonen sieht, wie NIP, ich denke, das ist ein Day-To-Forget für sie. Sie werden nicht mehr sehen, weil sie wissen, was falsch ist. Wir haben einfach nicht mehr Info zu spielen. Das ist für sie sicher.
03:26:12 It happens to everyone, and unfortunately, you are going to have to adapt. We are going to take a look, however, at how this has impacted the regular season standings. Now, every team across every group has played the same amount of matches, the same amount of series, and Alliance stand tall, but they're second place today. They move to the very top of EME. I can't say this is a surprise, Gasket.
03:26:35 No, considering Split 1, when Alliance absolutely dominated the competition, it was almost a matter of time to see when they would find form. And of course, with the POI draft and everything changing a little bit, everyone's kind of learning as they go. And Alliance started off a little bit rocky, but then after last week's performance, where they were able to pick up those 25 points into a second place here on this match week, now finds them at the top once more, returning to their former glory. And I think they will be very confident.
03:27:03 dass sie sich in den Play-Off haben. Wir haben die Magic-Number über 96 gesagt, aber wir haben auch schon gesehen, dass die Top-Eight-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number-Number
03:27:32 It was FA Kids that needed to average 15.5 points a day, very close to your 16 Doomer number, Gaskin. But the fact that FA Kids have managed to make their way all the way this far up should be, I want to say, lowering that threshold. There's a lot less pressure on the next two days of games for them. Let's take a look, however, at those teams that do have a little bit more pressure on them, because 11th through 20th is where the real concern lies. Now, some of these teams were here earlier. A lot of them have been pushed down on set.
03:28:01 Never to fear, many of the teams that have fallen places have fallen simply because they didn't play today.
03:28:07 Ja, es ist sehr, sehr gut. Und ich denke, es ist immer gut zu halten, es ist einfach zu sehen und sagen, hey, das Team hat nicht gespielt, aber das Team hat nicht gespielt, aber sie hat nicht gespielt. Aber das ist ein guter Indikator, das ist die 2nd Set-A-Round-Robin. Jetzt haben wir alle gespielt, die gleiche, die gleiche, die gleiche, die wir noch nicht spielen wollen, wenn ihr euch in die Pro-League spielt, das ist nicht gespielt. Aber alle anderen werden auch denken, hey, das ist ein bisschen closer, als wir gedacht haben. Und wir waren über die Magic Numble, wir waren über wie viele Punkte,
03:28:36 Well, Aurora, who are currently sat in 19th, will realise now that one win in a game day, and this can completely change their fortunes for the seasons. And I think a lot of eyes are going to be on them the next time that they play, because there's an air of expectancy about Aurora, right? They made the finals of LAN last time around. They were involved in some of the craziest moments that we saw. They were a real shining light for them here.
03:28:58 Now they need to prove it back in their own region that they can get back to the split two playoffs because it's looking like a long way off before today, but maybe there's a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel after the performances and how the points stack up. There really could be. I mean, ANC outplayed or another team standing out to me. They're falling down a little bit, perhaps towards these bottom 10 teams. And that's where I find the biggest surprise of the day. Yes, the biggest story so far of today's games has been Blacklist International, but through all of that.
03:29:28 Sie sind noch in den ersten 10en Teams der Liga. Das ist wirklich gut. Und Gaskin, wir haben gesagt, dass 16 Punkte, wenn man 16 Punkte braucht, sind es wirklich schwer. Blacklist International kam in mit 17.3 Punkte per Tag. Und was sie erreicht hat heute...
03:29:48 There's still a long road to the end of Pro League. Yeah, and whilst we talk about, you know, the magic number and what teams might be getting to playoffs, we're starting to realize now there are probably some teams who mathematically cannot get to playoffs. If you can imagine you can only get 25 points as a max each time you play, and we're seeing some teams on like seven, for example.
03:30:09 Sadly, I don't think we're going to be seeing them there at playoffs. And that sad realization is going to change how you play. And then you start to think about what happens moving forward. Are you a team that's already gained points from playoffs? You start to worry about champs. It's certainly a difficult position when you are down at the bottom of that leaderboard. Now in split two, things can get tricky. And as you said.
03:30:28 We can give them an MVP. And today's MVP...
03:30:58 is going to be going to none other than the monster of today's series, Zidane, who across all six games was putting on what I described backstage as psychotic performances. Just sitting back and absolutely decimating people, not from range.
03:31:20 But instead, being able to slide in, pick his moment, and honestly, statistically, Zidane was in Marvel. 16 kills today. That was the most of any player in today's games. 19 assists, clucking in at second, and 7.7 thousand damage. Again, topping the leaderboards. A lot of this is really due to the fact that Zidane...
03:31:46 Zidane dominates 4 FA Kids today and takes them in no small part all the way up to first place. Really incredible.
03:32:16 Ja, ich denke, es ist ein tolles Tag, und es ist ein tolles Tag, das ist nicht das erste Mal, das ist das erste Mal, das ist das erste Mal, das ist das erste Mal, das ist das, was man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn man, wenn
03:32:39 Ja, wir sind mit einem Org, und wenn du in der Moment bist und du willst, vielleicht ist das Team für dich, denn sie brauchen eine High-Res-Logo für sicher. Das ist das, und ich meine, vielleicht ist das, was ich sagen, Free Agent Kids, Gaskin. Ich versuche, es zu sagen, für alle, die aufhören. Bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte.
03:33:06 You're literally like, free agent kids. Just someone please sign them. And performing well and winning Pro League Series is going to put you in the spotlight and you are more likely to get signed. So they are putting their best foot forward by performing in this way. And I hope that they do find an organization to represent and one that they deserve most certainly. But also I want an org to, you know, truly believe in them and what they can do moving forward as well.
03:33:32 It's something that a lot of our players are very lucky to have, is orgs that represent, that believe in them. And for our interview today, I've actually chosen to pivot just a little bit. We're not going to be going with free Asian kids, but definitely a player and an org that's got a lot of belief. Please give a warm welcome to JMW from Blacklist International. JMW, welcome to the broadcast. We have been hyping you guys up all day. This was a very, very good performance from you.
03:34:02 Ich mag das. Danke für mich, Leute. Ich mag es. Es war ein sehr guter Tag für uns.
03:34:10 I mean, it was a pleasure watching, especially during the first couple of games on Stormpoint, how you were continually diving into Zone. But I wanted to have you on because you're not only part of a squad that did take the spotlight today, but also from Passion that has recently disbanded. And there was a lot of conversation about the goodwill that came with the Passion breakup.
03:34:35 So, I wanted to ask you a little bit about that. How was today playing with a new squad, no longer getting to play with the team that you've gone through the rest of Pro League with? And what do you look forward to? What do you miss? Well, of course, like everything was unexpected and I think everybody didn't really expect things to happen like the way it did. So, like I got an opportunity and, you know, I appreciate Passion for like, like feeling confident in me to have me.
03:35:03 Aber dann natürlich auch noch eine Erreise, die natürlich sehr erwartete. So, ich habe einfach eine Leib-Auf-Faith. Ich habe mit Blacklist, wir haben eine ganze Zeit, wir haben uns sehr gemütlich mit uns. Ich denke, ich bin genau das, was sie brauchen. Es hat sich für Hayaker und Nizako einfach nur zu spielen, mit ihnen zu sehen, zu sehen, was sie ist safe, was sie können. Und ich denke, sie hat es gezeigt.
03:35:34 I want to jump in for the next question here, because one thing that really stood out to me today about how your team was playing was how good you were at getting into great spots early for a lot of the zones, even when you didn't have sometimes the best priority to those zones. So talk me through the process of that, who's calling that, and how were you aware of moving around both maps? Because it seemed like both maps you were in great positions all the time. Well, we all talk about that. When we see the zone, we all talk about it. But initially it's Hayaka. Hayaka had a very good long reading of zones throughout this whole week.
03:36:04 He trusted his gut, you know, we also, which helped us was we did like a lot of these zones I played today. We've done it in scrims. So, you know, we knew exactly what to do. We were confident in our plays. We did it. And I think today just showed the execution right. And you were able to get into a lot of the final zones. It felt like almost every late game circle you guys were there, but didn't find that victory that eluded you in the end. What do you think you guys have to do next to kind of take yourself to the next level? Because of course,
03:36:32 As a new team, there's always going to be hurdles you have to overcome. What is the main focus for you moving forward?
03:36:39 I think together, moving forward, we just need to get more reps in, really. We just need to keep playing more endgames together. We need to realise what we're going to be good at, find our weaknesses, then fix them. And moving forward, I think we'll be very strong. I think it's no matter what time before, we'll be honestly top three, a lot of games coming forward. So, yeah, tomorrow we'll go and show it.
03:37:05 It was, again, I said it at the start, a fantastic performance from you guys today. And I have to say, we are the broadcaster, very happy to see you finding success with Blacklist and seeing the way this is changing the landscape of EMEAs. You guys did jump up several places yesterday. You've got a ways to go up until we move to LAN and beyond, but I do want to say best of luck. And as we prepare to let you go, I want to give you the opportunity to...
03:37:34 zu den Fans, die Sie jetzt in einem anderen Roster unterstützen? Vielleicht die Blacklist-Fans, die Sie für den ersten Mal begrüßen? Und was würden Sie sagen zu den Fans der Spiel, die Sie sich freuen, auf den internationalen Konferenz zu sehen? Ich freue mich, dass alle die Unterstützung von mir unterstützt. Obviously, ein big shout-out zu Blacklist-Fans und meine Team-Mates und alles. Big shout-out zu Passion. Sie sind zwei neue Team-Mates, zwei verschiedene Team-Mates. Ich hoffe, die besten für sie auch.
03:38:04 Aber für alle, die mich zu unterstützen, und natürlich Blacklist und alles, viel Liebe und wir werden weiterhin zeigen, warum wir unsere Top Team in der Zukunft sind. Ich freue mich. Vielen Dank, JMW, für uns. Vielen Dank, ich freue mich, Leute.
03:38:23 All right, with that, we have heard quite a bit of what JMW thought. We've seen a lot of the way that JMW and Blacklist were able to navigate the day. But on set, it wasn't the only story of today. We had several big ones. As we come to the conclusion of the EMEA broadcast, what are you walking away from today thinking? It was a couple of monster games in 5 and 6 that really kind of decided how things looked, right? Exoclan went from nowhere up into a decent placement at the end of things with a 30.
03:38:53 Ich glaube, es ist sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.
03:39:22 It is difficult, near impossible to predict, and Gaskin, I'd echo the sentiment of Onset here that I couldn't have guessed what was going to happen today, but we do have a lot more to look forward to. What specifically really impressed you about today's games? It was actually in the decision-making of the POI draft, and I always talk about POI draft because it's new, it's exciting, but the two teams at the top were two teams who prioritized World's Edge first, despite the fact that World's Edge was the second.
03:39:49 So confident that they could do something on Stormpoint, even with perhaps a lesser POI, but then getting the job done when World's Edge came around. But it's just the differences we're seeing for how people choose their POIs.
03:40:02 was POIs people think are better, what they think are worse, which they'd rather have, which they rather wouldn't have. And it makes it very exciting. I mean, it's so difficult to predict because of that reason. And now as we go forward for future splits and we get to champs, et cetera, we will learn more about these statistics. But for now, it's very raw. We're still learning. The players are still learning. And that's what makes it so exciting to watch.
03:40:24 And we've still got a lot of Apex Legends to look forward to today. That's what is really getting me, is that yes, we may have just finished our EMEA broadcast, but North America is going to be on in just a few hours. So I'm going to let you two go. I'm going to let you rest because in...
03:40:38 Was ist das? Ein Jahr und 25? No, ein Jahr und 35 Minuten. Ich habe meine Maths korrekt, und ich sollte nicht die Maths auf dem Broadcast haben. Wir kommen zu Ihnen mit North American Matchday No. 6. Again, Groups B und C in der zweiten Round Robin in North America. Es ist schwierig zu predict, EMEA. Vielleicht versuchen Sie Ihre Glück in North America. See how many games, see what teams you can get right. Very exciting region, and a lot to look forward to. If you're wondering about anything else, be it more interviews, be it more statistics.
03:41:08 Be it information on the ALGS, you can always follow us at Play Apex Esports, both on X and on YouTube, and honestly, mostly anywhere. I'm going to, with our casters, take a bit of a rest, maybe experiment with some Pathfinder, because I've been seeing a lot of EMEA teams run that, and see if I can get a few more games in. I'll see you guys over in North America in an hour and 35 minutes.
