ALGS Year 4 Split 2 Pro League APAC-S startet mit neuen Teams und Formatänderungen

00:10:11

00:10:11 To the Split 2 Pro League, where we will be covering all the Apex Legends action here at Apex South. My name is Lace and we're here to bring you the highlight and passion that our region has to offer. Now to introduce the casters who bring the game alive, we've got the ever so exuberant Dax and the knowledgeable king of the casters, Gino. Dax, such a goddamn pleasure to have you here back once again. Are you ready to see what our pros have installed for us today?

00:10:40 I've been waiting for this moment, Lace. I am so excited that we are back for Split 2. Split 1 is already incredible, and I know there are a bunch of teams here who want a bit of that comeback punch after the playoffs that happened in LA. Exactly, and you know what? It's such a pleasure to have you here as well. You've already covered so much in our region, following through the Split 1, going over to LA and following them there. Do you think our fresh meat has what it takes?

00:11:08 Das ist sicherlich ein Weg zu sagen, ist es? Es ist Spaß, richtig? Und ich bin interessiert zu sehen, wie die Teams, die die erste Taste aussehen, wie Wonton Dumpling, nicht so gut sind. Aber jetzt kommen sie zurück, sie haben die Erfahrung, ihre Erfahrungen zurück in den Apex-South, dann können sie wieder dominieren? Können sie wieder dominieren? Können sie noch mehr dominieren?

00:11:33 Yeah, you know, we had such a thrilling start to, you know, our Split Ones. And like you said, you know, we had the likes of Wonton Dumpling, you know, Weebo now, they've had a wonderful name change. Also, we can't forget about Legends Gaming and how these two teams, you know, dominated through our region, Dax. Do you have any special highlights you can take us through from, you know, our excellent Split One? I mean, honestly, it was a fun story for me.

00:11:57 Und dann mit Reject gewinnen. Super, super Hype Finals.

00:12:23 Ja, und Gito, Sie haben sie dort auch. Sie haben sie sitzen in den Stands. Sie haben sie, ich soll sagen, sie sind sie, und sie gehen Hand-to-Hand. Und wie Sie gesagt, Sie sind sie zurück in unsere Region, und sie waren unsere Top-Kontenders. Sie denken wir, dass wir eine sehr gute Leistung haben, sagen Sie, dass sie diese Erfahrung zurückbringen können? Ja, ich denke, wir haben eine Persistent-Buff von den Teams, die haben das Land-Experience gehabt.

00:12:52 M.D.Y. White, who, you know, had been picked up by an Org recently. We'll get to that later. But I think after they came back from their first LAN, you know, they've been a much, much improved team. So I do expect to see that from our other teams, like Monton Dumpling, getting that taste of LAN experience.

00:13:13 Ja, und unsere Pro-Teams locken in, Leute, ich weiß, dass sie es gut sind. Wie geht's euch durch, wie das alles funktioniert? Wir schauen uns auf Split 2 Format Video.

00:13:24 Let's jump straight into Split 2 of the Year 4 Pro League. Here's a quick reminder about our format. Each region is made up of 30 teams. Eight of those teams battled through the preseason qualifiers, and 22 earned it through established winning form, invites from EA, or by being the best of the rest. Those 30 teams will be split into three groups of 10 teams and play a triple round robin with each group playing the others three times.

00:13:52 At the end of the regular season, the top 20 teams in each region will play a match point regional final, where a number of the top teams of each region will then advance to the split two playoffs. Looking forward to the second split, we're going to find out if the teams that topped their regions have what it takes to make another deep run.

00:14:16 And here we go. We have our schedule. We are back here for Split 2. We're ever so excited. We are here at day number one, starting a little bit earlier than we usually do, Genome. So, you know, it's nice to be able to bring you the action early on, but we are going to have our day one competitors go hand to hand and, you know, all the way, I guess, we've got another day tomorrow, Genome, actually. We've got so much action happening this whole weekend. Exactly. It's like a bit of a super weekend.

00:14:45 Bis zum nächsten Mal.

00:15:01 Yeah, but you know, at the end of the day, what are all these teams going to be playing for? And it's not just, you know, a ticket through to land, but we've got some dollar signs on the horizon too, Dax. You know, we've seen this prize pool before, $125,000 spread out through all these teams. But, you know, even teams 21st and 30th walk away with some money.

00:15:18 Ich meine, ja, es ist einfach nur mit Split 1. Wir haben jetzt mehr Geld, aber es gibt noch ein bisschen mehr Geld für die Apex. Aber ich habe noch ein paar News gehört, dass wir jetzt nur 7 Slots für Grabs haben, statt 8 Slots haben. Also, wir versuchen das 5k Threshold zu machen. Es ist immer noch gut Geld, aber es ist immer noch über Land für diese Teams.

00:15:48 Ja, es ist definitiv ein bisschen schwerer, nach der Ausbildung an Slit 1. Es ist definitiv eine der Weaker-Seite von Apex-South gesehen. Natürlich ist es schwer, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du deine Besten-Teams zu den NA-Region hast.

00:16:02 Of course, you know, we still love all the Australian players and stuff that are absolutely killing it second and fourth, of course, for Dark Zero and for Moist. But yeah, definitely some decent performances, you know, Legends Gaming still definitely showing up and doing quite well. And hopefully, you know, like we talked about before, teams like Wanton Dumpling, who, you know, hopefully have shaken their nerves off after their first performance and make it again.

00:16:30 und haben eine bessere Begründung von was sie wirklich gemacht werden, nächste Woche.

00:16:34 Yeah, and when they show us what they're made of, we can have a look at and see how all the scoring works. Now, this is going to be, you know, the traditional ALGS scoring. We've seen it before, you know, 12 points for first. We've got nine points for second, so on, so forth. Dax, you know, we've got the one additional point per kill. You know, we saw the likes of Weibo, which is, you know, wonton dumpling, really utilize those kill points as they steamroll the lobby. But, you know, we also want to touch on series points as well, Dax.

00:17:03 Ja, ich meine, du hast es bereits, 12 Punkte für 1st Platz in Placement. 12 Punkte, du hast 1. Aber es geht wirklich darum, wie du am Ende des Jahres in den letzten Endes. Denn das ist 25, wenn du am Ende des Jahres bist. Wenn du am Ende des Jahres bist, dann ist es die gleiche Sache für den nächsten Set. Du wirst durch diese Gruppe Stages über drei Stunden, bevor wir zu den Finals. Und wenn du das Top Cut bist, wenn du...

00:17:26 When you have enough of those points near the end of the season, then you're good to go. Even if you don't win the finals, it's still enough for you to make it the LAN.

00:17:35 Ja, und so wir haben sechs Sets und sechs Matches. Du kriegst die Rewarded-Series-Points an den Ende, und das ist das was kind of matters. So heute, wir werden sehen, dass die Punkte und die Spieler gehen. Aber wir werden sehen, wie unsere Teams werden. Wir werden sehen, wie unsere Teams werden in Split 2 spielen. Wir haben über 30 Teams in drei Gruppen, 10 A, B und C. Gino, unsere ersten zwei Kolumns werden die Teams werden heute sehen.

00:18:01 Absolutely, that is Groups A and B. And as we look through these 30 teams here, Lace, you'll see some familiar faces. You'll see some teams with a bit of a facelift. Those who have been picked up by organizations. Fantastic to see people like Tom Young-kun being picked up by makers. You've got MDYY getting picked up by LGD Gaming. And you know, it was...

00:18:29 Not long after we saw the end of the first split, you know, you had teams like, you know, Divine or Team Burger getting picked up by Virtus Pro, right? So lots of teams there, you know, that we've got to pick apart. And then you've got, of course, those teams who are joining us from the Pro League qualifiers as well. Ones like Fruit Salad and Barbecue joining the ranks now of those Elite Pro League teams.

00:18:55 Yeah, and you know, we had some major changes for Season 20 for our pro team. So all these poor souls, you know, they came in with a character meta and the release of Legends perks. And now we have amped it up even more with a massive change. And you know, we have ourselves the new POY draft system. Now, who better to explain, I guess, this POY draft system than our wonderful Rain Day to give you an insight into what our pros will be facing coming into these matches.

Neues POI-Draft-System und World's Edge Draft-Ergebnisse

00:19:25

00:19:25 Hey Legends, today I'm here to explain the new ALGS POI Draft System. This format change aims to even the playing field, while challenging teams to adapt to different POIs and different playstyles. How, you might ask? Well, this is how it works. Prior to the Pro League regular season, each team receives a random assortment of draft picks for matchdays 1 through 9. The assortment is perfectly equal.

00:19:51 Meaning, if a team receives the first draft pick, they'll also receive the 40th draft pick on that matchday. This draft style is called a snake draft, and the order of draft picks changes with each matchday, which means that teams may not always get their preferred POI. On draft day, each team will make two draft picks, one Storm Point drop spot and one World's Edge drop spot. Strategizing is crucial.

00:20:17 als Dropspots auf beiden Maps sind auf der gleichen Zeit. Es gibt immer mehr Dropspots als Teams, das bedeutet, dass selbst wenn du die letzte Pick hast, du hast mehrere Optionen zu wählen. Once ein PoI ist wählen, ist es auf die Linie zu allen anderen Teams für die Match-Serie. Auf der Match-Serie, jede Team ist von einem individuell Dropship auf der Dropspot. Es ist ein ganzes neue ALGS.

00:20:42 Well, I hope that explanation clears things up on how the POI draft system is going to work in the ALGS. If you want a more detailed breakdown, check out our latest blog post and follow Play Apex Esports on X to stay up to date with all things ALGS.

00:21:01 You know, that's insane. You know, this format, I guess, changes the playing field and challenges our teams to, I guess, adapt to different POIs and playstyles, Gino. It's a massive change for so many reasons, right? I mean, contests are almost a thing of the past now. Sometimes you can get a little bit of some skirmishes at some very limited POIs, like Syphon.

00:21:24 There's only a few options where it's even possible for that to happen. You're certainly not landing directly on top of each other. You actually have to go towards each other and meet. And as we look at this first video that will show us how the teams drafted on World's Edge, which will be our first map today, you can see this is the order in which they drafted. And you can see the numbers here. That represents from 1 to 40.

00:21:52 So HKUF took Skyhook West immediately, right? They had the number one pick, amazing. It means obviously their pick for Stormpoint is going to be nowhere near as good. But if you look around you can see very interesting things happen that we never would have seen before. Legends Gaming, one of the strongest teams in the region, are going to be landing Geyser.

00:22:17 Ich meine, das ist einfach unheard of, aber es wird faszinierend sein, Dax, denn wir werden sehen, wie diese IGLs können von POIs, die sie noch nie hatten zu tun. Es ist all über die Adaptabilität, und besonders die Fakt, dass...

00:22:33 If you have over a 20 hashtag on the screen, right? If your number itself is on the late 20s, over the 30s, it just means that you prioritize your store point pick itself. So speaking of Legends Gaming, there's stuff on Geyser. You see Weibo Gaming, which is Wanton Dumpling. They're nowhere near their old school Thurman Station. They're the ones picking up Syphon East there. And there's always a chance for one of these teams to contest that, right? There are some POIs, like you mentioned, Syphon being one of them, that you can share, that you can declare that you want to contest.

00:23:02 Not really happening right now. The most we see is no credit in HKUF sharing Skyhook, which is pretty much far from the norm. Dreamfire still around there. Also by the trees. So many shifts right now. And the most interesting part about this is every single week, every single session, we're going to see changes for POIs.

00:23:22 Ja, und nur noch etwas, was Mirage Atoile ist. Das ist MXF für einen Weg da. Das ist ein POI in seiner eigenen Art, weil es nicht mehr zwischen Staging oder LARP oder Fissure ist. Ich meine, wenn niemand geht da, dann wird jemand da in der Ende sein. Aber wenn ein Full Team ist da, dann gibt es nicht die Möglichkeit.

00:23:45 Ja, und ich denke, es ist wirklich interessant, wie du sagst, wie die Teams sind, wie die Stronger-Maps sind. Wir immer sagen, dass wir das, wenn wir von World's Edge zu Stormpoint haben, wir sehen, die Teams bringen es zusammen. Ein paar Teams, ich habe gesagt, Boogie Boarders, die nicht so stark auf World's Edge sind, aber können wirklich mit Stormpoint nutzen. So, Teams like that will definitiv pick Stormpoint, take that.

00:24:11 I guess, before anything else. So that's, I guess, Dax, that's where we see those sort of, you know, the 20th team sort of choose that. But yeah, very interesting, you know, Legends Gaming on Geyser. Like, such a strong team picking probably what I would say one of the worst POIs.

00:24:40 Sie haben ihre erste Draft für World's Edge gearbeitet. Ich habe die Nummern gesehen und ich habe es gesehen und ich habe es gesehen und ich habe es gesagt, dass wir die erste Draft für World's Edge sind. Und als ich gesagt habe, Legends Gaming ist, sie sind nur geholfen zu gehen, denn sie sind nur der P.O.I., sie sind nur von anderen Teams geholfen, und man kann es auch nicht contestieren.

00:25:00 Yep, and let's get everything started. You know, they've got big changes. We've had massive changes to Apex. Let's take it away for game number one of World's Edge.

Erstes Spiel auf World's Edge: Makers sichert sich den Sieg

00:25:15

00:25:15 I missed the dropship already here, Gino. We are straight onto the ground, man! There is no dropship exactly. They are free to go where they chose. And the draft already looking exciting. But this is Split 2. This is Apex Out. And we are kicking things off on World's Edge.

00:25:33 Und für was, Dax? Ja, look, nicht viel action passiert. Und wir müssen uns zu haben. Die Viewers müssen uns zu haben, denn das ist ein Teil für den Kurs, für die vorstehenden Zukunft der Apex Legends E-Sport. Was eine große Veränderung zu Apex Comp.

00:25:53 I mean, stay hello to downtime. We're gonna be talking about, of course, the roster swaps that have happened between the splits. Later on, we're gonna be checking out who needs to get where quickly. And speaking of, you can already see the ring pulling on in. Landslide, Lava Fisher, Boogie Boarders, Fruit Salad, teams that did pick around the countdown area. They're gonna be pretty happy once they get that information.

00:26:16 Ich meine, die Ring-Pulls sind jetzt schon ein bisschen darüber diskutiert, um, wie immer sie sind. Ihr könnt auch einfach mal schauen, Apex Legends' Stattus haben sich ein bisschen von einem Compendium für die Ring-Pull, um zu sehen, um zu sehen und zu sehen.

00:26:35 ...decision for yourself. But certainly we have been seeing a few that will go up here towards Lava Fissure, towards Countdown. And that's very much where it seems to be pulling. So as you said, a couple of teams very much happy about that. Kill Devil. Not so much.

00:26:51 Ja, Kildevil ist sehr weit entfernt. Ich möchte kurz kurz sagen, Ring Console ist in Countdown, so ein Team wie Fruit Salad, die sich da geholfen hat. Aber Kildevil ist ein Team, die sich ein bisschen verändert hat, als wir in den Challenger Circuit gesehen haben, Genome. Bo Linh ist ein unglaublicher Spieler mit einer guten Geschichte in ALG. Sie sind schon erwähnt, und sie sind in der Squad. Und jetzt geht es mit Fruit Salad. Sie bekommen Kontakt hier in Countdown, als LGD, formerly MDY-White, will sehen sie auf der anderen Seite.

00:27:23 It's an interesting swap, Dax. I mean, we've seen some other players try it and honestly struggle for quite some time. Of course, Killipoz is the one that always comes to mind in Apex South when I'm thinking about goated M&K players who have decided that they're better off on the sticks.

00:27:43 Not everyone agrees with it, necessarily. I don't know. For me, 8-pack stat has always been a bit of an M&K region, right? Especially in the past year, personally. But on the other hand, I know there are a lot of controller players as well that we have seen. Come on, like the Wanted Dumpling guys or Weibo now, some incredible controller players. The Australians have seen a lot of incredible controller players, too. It's been a bit of a mix here in this region, don't you think?

00:28:12 Ja, es hat. Nein, du bist right. Ich denke, uh... ...either uns oder APAC-North, ich denke, haben die höhere MNK-percentage-regionen. Und... ...different zu, you know, North America, wo es almost 50-50, ich denke, eigentlich, zwischen denen. Aber APAC-South sind... ...kloser zu 60% oder 70%, ich glaube, in terms of das split favorieren die MNK.

00:28:41 Ich weiß nicht, dass die M&K selbst ist. Natürlich ist EZFlash. Er wurde missed. Er war nicht zu LAN. Er war nicht zu L.A., aber jetzt ist er hier in der Region. Wir wissen, wie gut Legends Gaming ist, ohne ihn bereits. Wer weiß, wie weit sie können jetzt gehen können. Vielleicht ist er vielleicht mit einem Championship in dieser Split später.

00:29:06 A little bit of a tense standoff there between Legends Gaming and Weibo Gaming. Obviously two of the very, very strong teams of this region. And they're fighting over some of these objectives, right? There we go, picking up the brick. That's a big pickup. The Prowler as well, something that's... It's interesting. You can see the choice here. Do I take almost a naked Havoc?

00:29:32 Or do I take a gold Prowler? I mean, that tells you a little bit of something about how good that energy weapon is at the moment, doesn't it? Yeah, rifles have been king recently. You have the Havox, of course. You have the Hemlock also being such a precise pickup. And we're still keeping an eye out here on Boogie Board. They just happen to stay where they really landed. They've been very familiar with the Lava Fisher side.

00:29:57 Es ist ziemlich großartig so far, als diese Teams sind die Reim-Console-Knowledge zu bekommen. Sie haben Bogeyboarders auf einen Seite und ich glaube, Sie haben Serenity, einer der Stand-Out von der anderen Seite, auch neben der Seite, und sie sind zu machen. Ja, sie sind von Serenity und Bogeyboarders.

00:30:18 Definitely people split at the moment. You know, maybe half the team sort of finding a home in Countdown, half doing it over in Lava Fissure. You know, a couple of teams still coming in from Mirage Atoile, Skyhawk, all that sort of good stuff, of course. We are seeing this shift as the year goes on in Year 4 of the ALGS DAX towards more of an Edge play style and the introduction of the new EVO system of EVO Harvesters, EVO Pacers.

00:30:48 Es hat wirklich verändert den Play-Style ein bisschen und hat die Hard Rotate-Style nicht mehr als Powerful als es war.

00:31:08 Oh, ja. Und ich meine, wir sehen ihn hier auf Longshot schon, Dax.

00:31:33 When he was playing for Wonton Dumpling back in the day, he was dominating. So the fact that DF have lost longtime leader Roy has been a big shift for probably the most recognizable Chinese team in the region. But if there's anyone who can fill those big shoes, I think No Name has a chance. And just to let you guys know, his tag today will be I Hate the World.

00:32:02 We'll be calling him No Name, but yeah, Synonymous. Man has so many names, but you can see here already. I don't want to notice something here, Genome. We haven't talked much about the Legend Selection. Bang, Blood, sure. But there's been a bit of a shift recently. Some good Watson, some with Catalyst. A little bit of Fuse Action, too. But WMFP, here they come onto the action already. They are under pressure by NumNib, who's playing inside the truck. Rolling Thunder can be the Blaze Shark.

00:32:30 Ja, als du sagst, eine große Veränderung. Du kannst quasi sagen, was die Stylke des Teams wollen, nur durch ihre Composition zu spielen. So wenn sie Wotzen haben, sie werden optieren.

00:32:56 um, closer towards that zone playstyle, that hard rotate style. If they're picking up the catalyst, that says they want to be a little bit more flexible. Uh, it doesn't mean you can't play zone, but it does give you, um, some better options if you need to make those rotates. I will also notice, uh, note that we've got only one Thorstic player in the lobby. What a change from Split One. Yeah, I was actually checking around anyone playing the Gas Legend there, and it's only outside, and...

00:33:25 We've seen one team eliminated so far. No credit. Actually, only playing as a duo right now. It's a little bit unfortunate. Hopefully, we do see Savior later on into the lobby. But MxF, they've been high on this perch for quite a while in Mirage 12. But all of the other teams nearby have already left them behind. WMFB, trying to rotate into Lava Fisher. Same can be said. Numb Nim. And speaking of, Lava Fisher, again, even more crowded now.

00:33:52 Definitely some teams starting to pile on in, but the wing hasn't really given us much of an indication of where it's going to end up. It's still a little bit split between the two POIs, perhaps favoring, I want to say countdown a little bit, maybe towards the Raven, but honestly, I'm not entirely sure of that, and I think even the teams...

00:34:16 Uh, mit dem Late Beacon Scan knowledge. Um, ein Team wie Final Dream, die... Oh, okay. Nope. They could've scanned at Staging, but, uh, I guess they haven't. Maybe they were held out by Weibo Gaming, uh, who have scanned that next ring. Uh, but you've got other Teams, like MDY Black, all the way up here. And, uh, they're gonna be looking for a spot. It's tough, though, when you've got Makers.

00:34:42 Chucking Knuckle Clusters down at them out from Countdown. Yeah, Makers especially. They have the Ring Console knowledge that we're talking about. And it doesn't say much still, even since it's still a bit of a 50-50 between the two POIs. And I guess I want to hear your thoughts about the Fuse right now. It's something we were talking about.

00:34:59 Es ist Bobo, der erste Knoll ist, aber...

00:35:24 Weibo in control so far, they see exactly what's going on, the piece of the hunt online, and that's 2000 opponents, Weibo holding strong here. Oh, Moku just trying to use the knockdown shield, but they are going to get right on top of his head there. That's a nice start to the game from Weibo, and a nice start to the split as they get some loot, some KP, and will be able to move on.

00:35:53 Es hat Numnim vor dem, bevor sie in die Circle gehen. Aber ich bin nicht so worried. Numnim war über die 3d-party, aber Weibo ist so bereit für ihn, wenn sie nicht. All die andere Seite sind. Hier bei Skyhook, Legends Gaming geht für die Long Rotate. Und sie werden in die Ndewey Black gehen. Beef to Hunt, wird Popped hier bei BabyS. Legends Gaming looking für die Push-2, EZ Flash.

00:36:21 Ja, beide sind die Team. Wir sehen MDY Black benutzen die Fortify zu versuchen...

00:36:47 Sie müssen die Rotationale-Options-Araund-This-Fight werden. Die Tactical-Options-Options-Gene in-and-out-of-the-Building-By-Controlling-Those-Doors. Of course, the Bloodhound scans are very important in information. As the teams start throwing grenades back and forth here. And Legends, now that they've lost Easy Flash, are going to struggle.

00:37:10 Waeboh hier!

00:37:35 Oh, well, the 3v3 mightn't have been the problem for Weibo Gaming there, it was really...

00:38:00 Sie waren 3rd Partie bei der Ring, einfach nur um die Rotation zu machen. Und es hat nicht wirklich funktioniert für Numnium, mit Dreamfire auf dem Backend. Der Circle hat sehr viel verändert unter Raven. Wir haben 55% Chance gegeben, und das bedeutet Teams wie Killdevil, die mit den Wadsen Fences sind in einer absoluten Killer Spot.

00:38:28 Teams that have to make a rotation, like Warmonster Firebird here, this one's a lot tougher. They're gonna be pushing all the way through Countdown. They might just have to get a, maybe if they can find a spotlight underneath, down on the bottom level of Countdown. Um, I think there's a chance there. Other teams are making a big rotation. Serenity Dax, I wanna hear what these guys are doing next, because this is a tough swing into the next circle for them. Let's go to the listen-in. Oh, fuck me.

00:38:58 We're just gonna have to give her kills. Mhm. They're fighting like north side. Let's reposition there. Yeah. Can you come to this building? Yep. Let's find it. Yeah, they're back there. Yes. They're e-backing. We're gonna go round through the corner hill. Uh-huh. Not combating. I'm running. I'm running. I'm running.

00:39:28 Ich mache eine Krasse und Bang-Ultig. Oh, Bang-Ultig. Oh, Bang-Ultig ist ja nicht. Unter, freie Schocken. Sie sind nach rechts! Sie sind nach rechts! Sie sind nach rechts! Sie sind nach rechts! Sie sind nach rechts! Sie sind nach rechts! Ich bin nach rechts! Ich bin nach rechts! Ich bin nach rechts! Ich bin nach rechts! Ich bin nach rechts! Ich bin nach rechts! Ich bin nach rechts! Ich bin nach rechts! Ich bin nach rechts!

00:39:57 Was this rock this rock right here they're pushing

00:40:06 Oh, Seranty in absolute danger. They did get a wipe onto one squad, but right now it's Bearclaw Gaming waiting for them. Jesko again, the only survivor. There were standouts there in LAN in LA, but here in AFAP South, they're the ones hurting now. Even from above, Jesko finding pressure, but for now, surviving, piercing spikes. We'll shield that too just to go for the resets. Bearclaw sitting next to them as they exited that circle with the reds and the purples a little bit too much.

00:40:35 Für Serenity zu bear. Ich meine, look, Jesko currently Kilt Leader mit drei Kills. Es ist nicht sicher, dass es ein schlechtes Spiel für die Australien ist, aber...

00:40:48 Very tough on that Rotate coming out of Lava Fissure. So, we move on to the other squads as most of them honestly shoved into Countdown here. Other teams like Killdevil who have actually taken a knock just there. You can see Heck gets Krabered. Will they get him back up in time? Interestingly, we've actually got Luhan taking the res perk there for Watson.

00:41:15 Oh, das ist interessant, als Killdevil push in. Bearclaw Gaming eliminated. Und das ist großartig für Killdevil. Sie hatten das für so lange Zeit. Sie halten den Augen auf der leften Fläche. Und sie haben das 1 von Bearclaw geöffnet.

00:41:34 A good reset from Killdevil means they maintain Godspot, incredibly important. Being able to have those fences set up and be able to reset after that always scary Krabber shot comes in to just give them a heart attack.

00:41:51 Ich bin so froh, jetzt mit Countdown und Kildevill. Ich bin so froh, jetzt mit Kildevill. Ich bin so froh, jetzt mit Kildevill. Ich bin so froh, jetzt mit Kildevill. Ich bin so froh, jetzt mit 4 Squads. Und es ist schon ein Blutbad, hier in der ersten Map. Immediately, Fruit Salad ist noch alive. Sie starten die Spiel in Countdown. Sie sind noch da, als 3 Acquaintance. Aber sie haben so wenig Platz zu arbeiten. Das ist alles, was sie jetzt haben.

00:42:19 Yep, just waiting for it. Sometimes that's what you've got to do with four teams left. They have VKG right on top of them. Or right underneath them, I should say. But then you've got Makers and Kill Devil kind of staring at each other down, but then also staring...

00:42:42 Um, at the team's just in this tiny little pot. Ow, wow, as Biola actually goes down to the ring there. Ah, touch the quick little heat there. I know it's shiny, but you don't want to. And they, they kind of can't revive him. They're trying to revive him, but because there's so little space. There's, there's no way. Yeah, yeah, as soon as they go for the revive, it pushes them into the ring, and he lets himself die for the shield swap.

00:43:09 Horrible situation here for Fruit Salad.

00:43:33 Now it's up to VK Gaming. They've got just a second to hide behind this interception pylon here to try and make something happen. And then they need to get out full blues. That's not really going to cut it against these other two teams as they get chipped down. Even 951 in Beast of the Hunt here tries his best to put some damage down on these other two teams, but surely this can't last that long.

00:43:58 Killedem will have the set of advantage, but Makers have the aim and the rents do. Makers now looking to make their mark here as VK Gaming is eliminated. And this team picked up so very recently. Tom Young-Kung was their name before. Makers is the name now to be known. And Makers is the game winner of our first bout here in Split 2. Awesome sixth kill win from our newly picked up team. Congratulations.

00:44:27 What a win here for the squad, Thailand and Lace! It's immediately a good game to get things going here in APAX South.

Analyse des ersten Spiels und Rückblick auf die Split 1 Playoffs

00:44:38

00:44:38 Yeah, Apex South, game number one locked away. You know, we're kicking off the split with the new POI draft system, Dax. You heard us talk a lot about like Weibo, which is previously Wonton Dumpling and Legends Gaming. Two of these teams getting knocked out quite early in that match, you know, but it's of course two early days to tell who could potentially give us, you know, some run for their money. But, you know, our brand new teams could be getting some confidence seeing these two heavy hitting teams just getting knocked out early there. It was awesome to see, you know,

00:45:08 Fruitsalad, did an absolute clean wipe on Dreamfire, Dax. But, you know, got a little bit punished there moving into zone, it seems. They couldn't move into zone. I guess that was the biggest problem. Gino mentioned they tried to res your teammate. You're into the ring and you're on your...

00:45:25 Baut them at the very end. I do want to say, though, it's quite poetic that Makers took that win, because if you remember, right, the finals for Split 1 was Demyon Kong taking that victory in a, what, endgames? Now we kick things off with Makers under that new name doing so well, but we can see it here. The Edge team's getting a little bit punished, too. I saw with...

00:45:46 Weibo looking for a fight here and there. They numbed him attempted the first time. Eventually, it was them going for the second fight later on into the ring. But Dreamfire finding a bit more aggression now with no name into the roster. Also pitching in and finding KP along the way. Killdevil doing a very good job playing zone there. Lace, especially with the Watson setup and holding off Bearclaw. But eventually, Makers just had everything they wanted and more. Especially, I'd say, Ziggy with this fuse. He's just putting so much pressure.

00:46:15 mit dem Cluster-Nate zu verabschieden.

00:46:18 This final zone, there's only a couple of spots where teams can be, you know, surely protected here. And there were already Makers, you know, dominating on that rock and holding steady. So it is a little bit difficult, you know, like the looks of Fruit Salad to sort of make it into that zone. You know, once those three teams are sort of set up, that's about it. You're pretty much done and dusted. And here we have Makers taking out our top there with nine kills. Dexter, Ziki and Aegis. It's so good to see this dominating team back, Dax.

00:46:46 It's just great to see that they're keeping up with their form. Actually, before even we started here in the ALGS, they were doing so well in a weeklies to being at the top spot. So the form of makers is something to watch out for, especially for the Kill Devil, though. Already such a good side for a team that was at the very bottom of a split number one. Fruit Salad doing well. LGD, MDY White still with their usual zone antics, but you can see it here already, Lace. Makers above and beyond everyone else with 21.

00:47:16 Yeah, you know, it's nice to see, I guess, touching on some of our new teams, Fruit Salad coming in there. Just seeing these teams sort of battle it out with a lot of these heavy hitters. We see Legends Gaming, you know, about 17th. Boogie Board is even sitting at about 14th there. But you know what? It's nice to see Dream Fire hitting in those top 10s. If we look at anything about Split 1, you know, they started out having a bit of difficulties, I think, in our Split 1 Dax. So it's nice to see them in the top 10. And Serenity...

00:47:45 Of course, one of our teams that went over to LAN and absolutely dominated. Nice to see them show up today as well.

00:47:53 Ja, das sind die zwei Sorgen. Serenity ist so gut, um es zu den Lobby zu befinden und Dreamfire nicht zu landen. Es ist ein bisschen ein Schiff für Dreamfire. Ich möchte sehen, dass dieses Experiment wirklich leidt für ein Team mit so einer illustrieren Geschichte ist. Und alle, die für Dreamfire ist für Dreamfire, die das Team erwartet, das Team zu landen. Aber was Game No. 1, es ist hier.

00:48:16 Und was wir tun ist, wir tun ein bisschen Licht auf was passiert in Split One. Wir tun uns über ein Video und zeigen Sie genau was wir durch.

00:48:27 This is the Split One Playoffs. And this is Los Angeles. We have the 40 best teams from around the world. 120 of the greatest players to ever play the game. All fighting for their chance to win a land and to hold up that ALGS trophy. Every single one of these players have given everything they have for months to be up on the stage. Because this is ALGS. A violent action.

00:48:56 Natsky moves in there, he has to reload, it's Finder!

00:50:03 Three days ago, we started with 120 of the greatest players from six different regions from around the world, and now we're down to just 60. Their journey started back in January, and this is everything that they've been fighting for right now. Only one team will be crowned our newest ALGS LAN winner, but all 20 teams will be fighting for their share of one million dollars.

00:50:34 Und die Frage, die alle haben, in dieser Woche kommt, ist, ob jemand die Dynasties entdeckt? Hier kommt Legend Gaming. Und remember, können sie die Final Kills bekommen? Ja, sie können. Aber leider gibt es immer noch mehr. Und es ist Cloud9. Und das ist nur die Tür öffnen.

00:50:54 To talk about Dark Zero again, we're talking about how much point saved, this could be the

00:51:23 Ich habe eine gute Möglichkeit, um meine Pointe zu holen.

00:51:29 One more placement is all Reject Winity need so far. And there we go as Serenity and Dark Zero eliminated. Reject Winity will cross that threshold. Two teams already at Match Point, but we need to get that done. They think they're safe, but they're waiting for them. They're waiting for them. The jump from LMA to catch Match Point and Dark Zero off guard. No banner for you.

00:52:03 Aber das könnte es sein für sie in diesem Spiel. Zero geht es um 0 zu 0.4. Die Legends vielleicht haben sie den Spiel gesehen. Und jetzt müssen sie es fortan, um es weiter zu gehen. Es ist um sie, aber sie nehmen es um 3.07.

00:52:36 Ich habe es geschafft! Ich habe es geschafft! Ich habe es geschafft! Ich habe es geschafft!

00:52:54 FNATIC ist in der Zeitung!

00:53:26 Es wird die Skyschläge!

00:53:34 Sie haben das Wettbewerb ein bisschen früher. Sie gewinnen die Wettbewerb gegen DSG. Und jetzt geht es darum, eine weitere Wettbewerb zu gewinnen. Look at C9. Look at die Position Serenity sind in. Alles fällt in die Position. Reject Winnerty, die sich jetzt auf die Wettbewerb zu sehen. Surely, es wird der Moment für APAC North hier sein. Biding ihre Zeit, warten für ihre Moment. Als alle Reject Winner-Team finden sich auf Red Evo.

00:54:04 Es ist ein riesiger Moment für Apex! Es ist ein riesiger Moment für Apex North! Es wird Reject Winner-Team sein, das in dieser Arena sein wird, das in der Apex-Szene sein werden. Put your hands together für die Winners der AOGS Spiel 1 Playoffs! Reject Winner-Team!

00:54:46 It was just absolutely the best being able to sit in that crowd, Dax. Next time I think I'm going to...

00:54:52 Ja, ich war ein Day Late und ein State Away, aber es geht nicht mehr. Ich fühle mich die Passion und die Vi ...

00:55:21 Und es war toll, dass ihr so ein guter Zeit habt. Und APAC won, nur nicht our APAC. Aber in Nr. 2, we're still keeping on World's Edge.

00:55:32 After everything that happened in Split 1 Playoffs, I do feel like Apex Out, especially starting today, there's a lot of us trying to prove something. There's a bit of a chip on our shoulder with some of these teams, like Makers, Tom Yan Kong, they were, what, 35th place, if I remember correctly, back in LAN, so a return to form is so good to see from them from that Game 1.

00:55:52 Ja, und Sie können diese Erfahrung zurückbringen. Ich glaube, es ist eine andere Erfahrung, weil Sie haben all das Energie und das Passion, und es ist etwas anderes. Aber es ist ein bisschen anders. Aber wir sind zurück nach der Apex-South Region, wir werden zu sehen, dass wir ein neues Faces kommen. Eine Sache, ich bin sehr froh, Dax, und ich wollte es auf die Charakter-Compositionen. Wir haben die Meta-Change, wir haben die neue POI-Draft-Change.

00:56:21 We've seen less Caustics this time. We've had another meta switch up and it's been, you know, excellent to watch to see the Catalyst come back and the Watsons come back. We obviously had a brand new character alter release for Apex Legends. No alters just yet. Hopefully we can see, you know, somebody utilize these brand new characters, but I feel like we've had a nice composition meta switch up.

00:56:43 Ja, und ich liebe Katalys zu sehen, es ist so interessant zu sehen, wie die Wallen sind, für die Transitionen. Es ist immer so spannend, denn diese Games, honestly, werden mehr hohe-octane, wenn man fühlt sich an, wie es in die Aufmerksamkeit ist. Ja, dann lass uns das weg. Wir sind hier für Game Nummer 2, das ist World's Edge.

00:57:10 Again, straight to the ground we go. And we are at World's Edge yet again. Welcome back, ladies and gents. Game number two in our first split two matchup. Group A versus Group B. Nax and Gino are still together here for this one. And Maker is the ones that took the win last night. Why did you laugh at that one, Gino? I know we've been together for quite a while, huh?

00:57:33 So what every time someone says that it just makes me think of the Simpsons meme where I think it's like it's the it's it's the can I believe it's nuts and gum and then and like the little sticker on it saying together at last

00:57:50 Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

00:58:16 Ja, wir hatten ein paar... Ah, ich weiß nicht, es wird eher Skyhook sein. Ich glaube, es war die... Es war die lefte Seite der Trials, die wir überrascht haben. Aber dann wieder... Ja, du bist genau richtig, in terms of, wenn wir über Priorität zu Zone reden, es ist die gleiche Handvolle von Teams, die sind das. Dann wieder, wir haben auch gesagt, wie Teams auf der anderen Seite der Map, die spielen Edge und werden in ein bisschen später getrennt.

00:58:45 Ja, und ich glaube, es ist ein bisschen ein trade-off da, Dax. Ja, und ich glaube, es ist interessant, dass wir die Makers ein paar Mal haben, dass, seit niemanden wählt oder wählt BigBod, jetzt haben sie zwei POIs hier, als nur Stats.

00:59:05 Ich denke, wir haben das schon gesagt.

00:59:33 Dax, I don't think we've ever seen two Legends at 100% pick rate. Genuinely. There's been Metas, where there's been one, right? Whether that's been Gibraltar, whether that's been Wraith, whether that's been... I think there might have been one other as well, where they were close to or at 100%. Yeah, Sia might have been there. Even then, I feel like Sia was maybe 90%, something like that. Anyway, but having two Legends.

01:00:02 100% ist, frankly, nuts. Wir sind noch ein bisschen... Ja, so du hast einfach nur eine Flex-Pick. Und das ist ein Controller Charakter. Es ist gut, ich suppose, dass die Controller-Klasse ist, dass wir einige Picks sind. Und dann auch mit der Ältation von Fuse, weil er kann als ein Controller-Player mit dem Ringmaster-Perk sein. Das ist wild.

01:00:28 Ja, das ist wirklich sehr schön. Und besonders mit Bloodhound zu nerfen, mit den Taktik-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund-Kreund

01:00:57 I mean, it was interesting because we did see him switch off the Watson at some point during the EWC qualifiers. Of course, you know, it was Lightning Unicorn, the only team who managed to make their way through that and get to that land. But no credit. It was good effort. That said, yeah, interesting to see a little bit of flexfic there. We'll have to keep our eyes to see if that happens as we move across to Storm Point in the latter half of the series today.

01:01:26 Es ist ziemlich interessant, wie diese Teams gerne spielen. Wir sprechen über Weibo-Gaming wieder. Und mit der Catalyst, Vogel wird die Quickescape in den Tunnel setzen. Aber sie sind auch vielleicht ein Re-Engage. Spikes sind auf die Tür. Weibo jetzt haben die Insel. Und vielleicht sind sie die Leute zu spielen.

01:01:49 Ja, of course, both the teams still not on Purples. They're, you know, both about roughly 700 away.

01:02:00 Und MAKE ist definitiv worse off. Wir sind jetzt in den Ring. Als wir jetzt über Numnim sind in Skyhook. Ich denke, sie werden einfach nur ein bisschen chillen. Ich denke, Numnim ist eine interessante Sache. Sie waren ein Team, das eigentlich qualifiziert.

01:02:23 Für die Pro-League ist bereits auf der Outside, wenn ich mich richtig. Sie haben noch über den Challenger Circuit mit einem neuen 3. Und sie sind sehr gut im Konzester. Aber jetzt mit der Draft-System in der Play, Sie werden nicht sehen das sehr oft von ihnen. Sie sehen uns die Zone zu sehen. Legends Gaming, also ein schneller Rotein this time around. A lot safer hier, vielleicht. Aber es ist KD, nebenbei. Keep going Gaming, also da. Und Fruit Salad.

01:02:47 Wow, mit der Down hier, auf Weibo Gaming.

01:02:59 It's actually Final Dream this time that are sieging them. You can see the Knuckle Clusters being thrown in there from FD7. These two teammates are just going to keep pulling back, pulling into Fragment as they keep their eyes on Weibo and try and make sure that they know where they are and they can hopefully force them to just burn meds after meds as they're trying to get out of this now with an evac.

01:03:28 I mean, that's what's happening to Weibo, that's what happened to Merkers, who eventually makes their way in through the Harvester area. But HKUF happy to be inside the next ring already. How many squads gonna be collapsing onto Skyhawk here? All these buildings will have at least a team or two nearby. You can already see it. HKUF, they're gonna have Serenity for company. You can see Outsides there. You already have Nomnim. The list goes on and on, but...

01:03:57 Eventually, it's the latter teams that will struggle to really get into this area, especially if it does keep going towards Skyhook, maybe outside the marketplace, an area we were able to watch last split, actually, where as soon as the ring really closed, all these teams who play the building, they were forced out, and Legends are already trying to anticipate that.

01:04:18 I like this spot that they've picked up here. I actually remember Dark Zero playing this spot, popularizing it in Split 1 of Year 3, when they were playing a little bit of Watson back then.

01:04:33 Das macht Chucky ein bisschen schrecklich. Es ist ein bisschen schrecklich, ehrlich gesagt. Ist das wahr? Ich meine, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist, er ist,

01:04:57 Somebody loves to play hardsport, and looking back at the records, I think it was a game where DNZ actually took it last split, just fending off everyone who tried to go towards the outside of this market. Speaking of Serenity here, I guess I want to hear your thoughts about Serenity, Genome, because not many expected them to make that run in LA, and really notable for them, three second places in a row in one of the group stage games series, and right now they're looking to bring that success back home.

01:05:26 Yeah, well, I think when we look at the teams that we send over from Apex South, I would say generally they fall into three categories, right? There's your mad fragger teams, there's the really smart teams, and then you've got like the whole package, right? So, you know, your DZ, your Moist, the teams that can really do it all. You know, we've got...

01:05:51 Teams like Tom Young-Kung that I would say are probably a little bit more on the side of just, you know, really being able to frag out. And Serenity were kind of the opposite, right? They were a team that managed to make it to LAN a lot on the back of their fantastic macro. And of course, that is the kind of playstyle that shines if you can make it into that final lobby. And it was impressive to see Jesko and Legacy especially step up.

01:06:18 Um, and were able to provide enough firepower to get into that final lobby where Bugi's IGLing and their macro, um, could really shine. So, yeah, look, well played to Serenity and, uh, kinda like we were talking about Wonton Dumpling at the start of the show, Dax. I'm hoping that they come back and do even better here in Split 2. I mean, Wonton or Weibo, no, it was a bit of a struggle back in LAN, just contesting TSM over and over again. And sure, there was that one moment where they got the white men and we saw them.

01:06:47 Ich weiß nicht, wie es die Schönheit war.

01:07:07 In der Draft System waren Monkey King von der Challenge Circuit. Sie waren wirklich struggling gegen die Konces. Aber hier geht's. Der nächste Ring ist sehr familiar. Wenn du schon seit dem Regen gesehen hast, ist es genau das, was Legends Gaming ist.

01:07:22 Well picked from them. It has shifted north. Serenity playing within Market, probably also going to be plenty okay. I mean, there's a ring console right next to outside here, but the chances of them actually getting outside to pick that extremely low is a nice grenade comes in here for VKG. We saw these guys really popping off at those, uh, the E-

01:07:48 WC qualifiers. So, this actually looks like a team that I feel like could be on the up here in Split 2.

01:08:19 Nice take from Makers. They get this building. It's not that far into the zone, though. I guess that's the issue. They're still gonna have to get even further north, as you can see here. Not even... Yeah, there's a couple buildings free in front of them. They're pinging it right now. You can see the thought process happening in real time here. But that's only part of...

01:08:47 Die nächste Wurzation, die diese Leute sind jetzt zu machen.

01:09:18 Over at Killdevil in that Dorito. You gotta keep going, Gabe. Definitely one of the, uh...

01:09:27 More surprising teams from Split 1 Weibo popping in Jackie Chan he's looking for it back now after doing a bit of damage in just the in and out here of Weibo putting pressure on they're only a duo though but he can't able to hold off acquaintance there looking for the confirm right now reinforcement to arrive and fruit salad they try their hardest but Weibo will still eliminate them Jackie Chan though needs to get away now a solo here left for Weibo

01:09:55 Yeah, he's just using that double time to beat it basically. And I don't know if he's going to survive very long. No credit, no where he's at. They hop in the fence just to make sure that he cannot close that door on them. And boom, here we go. Doesn't matter if they get the knock there onto Saviour, they're back up and ready to go immediately.

01:10:19 Ja, wir sehen uns nicht, dass 111 in der Single-Shot ist. Legend ist tatsächlich das Final-Kill mit dem Weg. Aber VK Gaming ist jetzt noch immer noch jemanden, der ist nebenan. Jetzt Eliminate auf der Seite. VK Gaming ist jetzt ziemlich gut so far. Und viele haben ihre Augen auf VK Gaming gesehen. Du hast es gesagt, Genome, dass sie so gut sind in der off-season. Ich weiß nicht, wie weit sie können. Aber Legends Gaming ist jetzt...

01:10:44 Very, very much pristine in their location. And they're just happy to chip away. Hemlock, so popular, if you're going to be playing a zone like this. I mean, we have to give it to Legends Gaming as well, right? So you remember, they're playing from Geyser. This is a POA that they're unfamiliar with. Of course, we can say that for most of the teams in the lobby now as well. But they've flown over very late, taken the balloon from North Tunnels, and found this spot. Honestly, just fantastic IGLing from...

01:11:12 Strafing the Flame, and you know, it's what we've come to expect from him. They made it so far on that plan LA run, but Bearclaw Gaming also looking to run rampant right now, acing off against Aflow and the rest of NumNimb, and Bearclaw able to just gouge them out here, an easy wipe for Bearclaw, they do lose Lime along the way, but it's enough to at least hold off this building for now.

01:11:40 Die Team versuchen ihren Weg in zu finden, aber es wird die Final Gasp für sie. Bearclaw, als auch, verliert ihre Chance in Game 2 hier. Und keine Kredite haben, sie haben eine fantastische Spot nach dem Puschen. Es ist M.D.Y. Black, die Closest-Kompetitor. Serenity, natürlich.

01:12:03 Holding the market, Ring doesn't pull to them sadly, sometimes it does, but this time, they now have to start planning the next move.

01:12:31 Good beam onto Kasa, Kasa is going to get eliminated there. But VK Gaming still standing as a duo. Pushed up to shove again. This Rock providing a bit of cover. QQ now climbing as high as he can. Formerly of AGL now ready to run rapid here for VK. But VK Gaming's the one gone. And Serenity have come to shine. A quick Dark Veil to the set on up.

01:12:53 Gives themselves a spot to reset. Serenity, they do eliminate, kill them all the way. Legends Gaming wanting a piece of the action. It's Utter Chaos now here by the Single Rock. Here we go again. Dejavu! Vajesco's the one taking advantage of the altitude adjustment. From up top right now, Serenity tried to hold. They're left to a duo though. It's looking very, very dicey here. Arxar gonna get thrown on over. Boogie trying to get the crack going. The Pylon's still into play. Vajesco gets the knock now.

01:13:22 Easy Flash, Serenity still holding steadfast, and Serenity looking shining shimmering splendid now after everything said and done. Oh, that was such a long fight there, Serenity. They're going to try and get this reset, but keep going. Gaming are probably just going to charge straight through it and deal with him. Oh, man, that's it. Legacy might be able to get this bat off, actually. And all of a sudden, he's got a Devo in his hand.

MDY Black sichert sich den Sieg in Spiel 2 und Kill Devil führt weiterhin die Gesamtwertung an

01:13:50

01:13:50 Never know what will happen with that gun. At the very least he's managed to get top three. Try to grab a couple more kills here as he pushes into MDY Black. They don't expect it. They don't expect it. The Devo doing so much dirty work, especially now. It's a care package gun and eventually it will be Serenity eliminated there by MDY Black. But this effectively genome hands this game.

01:14:15 Hoho!

01:14:41 Celebratory Latins go up in the air. MDY Black coming up the goods here in Game 2, Lace. Game number 2, nothing short of amazing genome here in Apex South. You know, we witnessed Makers take out the first match. Now it's MDY Black collecting theirs.

01:15:05 I just have to give a little bit of credit to no credit, though. They really shined in that match, too. But, you know, also no surrender for serenity. I feel like they were just fighting for their life there. Such a stellar effort from the swarms of teams just coming for them. I mean, I feel...

01:15:21 Probably worse for Kill Devil, when they started the initial fight, and then it was like a land sandwich, and you had Serenity coming from one way. Legends Gaming left their fantastic spot to try and get in on that fight, and it may have been the correct decision in the end, but it really spelt the end for every single one of those teams that got involved, basically, and yeah, it was MDYBlack who was just able to stay out of it for a little bit longer and pick up the 12 placement points.

01:15:50 Ja, ich habe das ZONE schon gemacht und es kann ein bisschen zu tun sein für die Teams. Wie Sie sehen, es war einfach action-packt. Poor Dax, die einfach nicht zu sprechen. Die action einfach nicht zu stoppen. Aber du findestellst du, wie viele Teams haben, die sich in die ZONE zu erinnern, wenn die ZONE zu erinnern. Und wir kämpfen für diese Rock hier. Kildeb, wir sind großartig. Aber es ist einfach schwer, ich glaube, zu stoppen die Fights und stoppen die Third-Party und einfach zu werden. Ja.

01:16:19 Sometimes, uh, Apex doesn't afford you that place. You've got to just keep going. Armor swap after armor swap. One clip after one clip. There's no stopping it if you want to come out on top. And sometimes, yeah, it's just, uh, it all becomes a little bit too much as we see an epic stick there from KPG. So they get a double stun. They do like 70 shield damage for two of them and they still can't win that engagement. That's actually...

01:16:47 Quite surprising there from KPG.

01:16:49 Yeah, it definitely looked like they should have taken that out. But here we go. MDY Black, our victors of game number two. Absolutely abolishing the lobby there with the seven kills. And great to see keep going gaming as well. You know, they came to play a little bit later, I feel, in that match. Cleaning up, you know, just a little bit of KP. But Serenity here as well, as we saw them sort of fighting for life on that rock. Collecting six points there. KP, sorry.

01:17:19 von Jesko. Ja, 1600 von Jesko. Controller, Demon there on Serenity. You know, Legacy obviously, no Slouch either. Playing that Bang Blood duo. Now, moving across here to the scoreboard, you can see Kill Devil are on top. That is...

01:17:46 Probably not something we've said a lot throughout this year.

01:17:49 Yeah, they came second in our first match there. Just to see them sort of, I guess, collect a couple more kill points along the way and sneak up that ladder against Makers, you know, not too far ahead. But yeah, usually we see them, I guess, under the top 10 Genome. So crazy to see them sort of push first in our second match. You know, we obviously have a couple of brand new teams coming through and some, you know, old faces showing up. So it's, I guess, giving a few different teams a run for their money. I wonder if these POI drafts, do you know, have anything to play with it as well?

01:18:19 giving these teams that generally couldn't pick such a strong POI the chance to make it to the top placements. Yeah, well, I mean, you could say that, I guess, but KillDevil, they picked SurveyCamp, and typically that's not being a strong POI, and it's even less strong in the POI.

01:18:43 Draft world, essentially, because usually it was bundled up with Epicenter. The way it works at the moment, you pretty much just have to play the POI by itself. VK Gaming have taken over Epicenter. They actually took it in the very next pick. No, they didn't. It was actually way later. It was a second round pick for VK Gaming. Anyway, regardless, it's really tough to...

01:19:09 Ich würde sagen, wenn du, wenn du, ich würde sagen... Ich würde sagen... Was war das? Das war der 10th pick für Killdevil. Sehr interessant, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du...

01:19:29 While Mill was available on Stormpoint. I mean, these are just some of the fascinating decisions that we will see happen under this POI draft system.

01:19:39 Yeah, and you find, you know, teams will probably, being such a new thing for them, they're still probably just working it out themselves. You know, they don't have it locked in. Neither do we. So, you know, they're going to, I guess, as the split moves forward, grow a little bit when learning about which POIs would be a little bit stronger for them. You know, taking away the large POIs that most teams would fight for or even contest for. So, you know, it's only time we'll tell to see, you know, if these teams change their strategy. But for Kill Devil, coming out of Survey Camp, seems to be working for them.

01:20:08 Is it because maybe some of the other heavy-hitting teams don't get the POIs that they want? Could that be it? But you know what? We're going to have to wait and see. We're going to take ourselves a short little break, and we will see you back shortly.

01:20:43 Freak.

Kill Devil überrascht als Spitzenreiter, Legends Gaming zeigt Potenzial, Catalyst erlebt Comeback

01:23:46

01:23:46 And welcome back, everyone. We're here to shine some light on the Apex South region here for Pro League Split 2. Makers took out the win in our first match and then we had MDY Black steal the show, Gino, in match number two. However, our current overall standings are showing that Kill Devil, a team we did not expect to sort of sit on top, you know, they're back here for Split 2 and they're ready to show us what they're made of.

01:24:12 Ja, sie haben bestimmt auch die Punkte bekommen. Ich habe schon mal die Stats gesehen gesehen. Die Makers, die du gesagt hast, haben sehr gut gemacht. Alle drei von ihnen sind in der Top 10 für Damage. Aber dann, wenn du es über die Kills switchen, dann ist es da Kill Devils kommen. So manchmal ist es das Konversion. Es geht darum, dass es die EFFICIENT mit deinem Damage und tatsächlich das an der opportune Zeit zu bekommen.

01:24:40 which will help you move you up the scoreboard.

01:24:43 Yeah, you know, it's not all about, I guess, sort of just placing in those top sort of spots. You know, obviously that gives you quite a bit of points here going into the series. But you know what? It's really good to see, I guess, different teams flourish. You know, we've talked about Weibo, which is, you know, previously Wanton Dumpling, where they utilized kills. They were very, I guess, killpoint-hungry types of teams, which really, I guess, skyrocketed them to the top of the leaderboard. Having a look at them now, though, Gino, not...

01:25:12 Wir sind so gut in unsere ersten zwei Matches, wie wir uns zu sehen sind. Wir sind über 15th Platz in unserer ersten Match, unserer zweiten Match. Und dann wieder, wenn wir auf eine andere heavy-hittinge Team, Legends Gaming. Sie haben eine bessere Performance in Match Nummer 2. Aber wieder, wir sind nicht die zwei Top-Teams, die wir in Split 1 sehen, wirklich skyrocketen.

01:25:37 Ja, no, look, a 17th with 0 kills for Legends Gaming in the first match, not so great. Obviously, you know, the second game was pretty solid. Did they need to get involved in that fight at the end there? Yeah, not quite too sure. But this is something that we have to talk about, Lace. There have been a total of 6 Legends picked so far.

01:26:06 I'm not sitting here clapping, Genome, because Caustic is right down the bottom there, you know, coming out of Split One. All we saw, I guess, was Caustic, Bangalore, and Bloodhound, and I'm...

01:26:17 I'm so excited to see Catalyst back in top picks here, along with some more Watsons as well, because I feel like the style of gameplay that Catalyst can do, especially in final zones and blocking off an entire team with a wall, just makes for great viewing.

01:26:36 Forgive me for sitting here and being super excited that Corsic is down the bottom. But you know what? We still got Bangalore and Bloodhound as our top pick's genome. But I think this is exciting stuff for us. It is. Yeah, look. We've got the 40-40 vision. It looks like we've already started in our game three here.

01:27:00 So we'll catch you next time, Lace and Dax. You're back in, mate. Back in with you, me, 40 Bangalores, and 40 Bloodhounds. And I'm just double-checking, is that the case again in this game? Pretty likely so far. It has just been Bangblood all throughout. I'm a little disappointed, Genome, because remember back in Child Circuit, there was a different kind of composition we would see, but yep, it's confirmed. 20 Bangalore picks.

01:27:29 Bloody Bloodhound hit fix, and it's Watson and Catalyst very close to one another as a third pick. No Caustics now this time around. Yeah, you know what? There's always one lobby though, right? Like, I feel like as we take a gander at where the rings are heading, and we see it is going very much towards Epi and Survey Camp. Not ultra north though, so Kill Devil who look to be going towards the Survey Camp tracks, the train tracks up there.

01:27:58 Well, maybe that'll suit them, maybe it won't. But we do often have one group matchup with groups A and B here, where they're very conservative. They'll go for that meta composition. And then we have like the aggro lobby, right? The one where everyone goes a little bit crazy and you do see, who knows, maybe we will get that Revenant lifeline pathfinder. Honestly, I kind of doubt it because these teams are generally a little bit too smart and a little bit...

01:28:27 Hey, I just want a little bit of diversity, okay? But you make a good point. I think this is kind of the case also. Last time around, the one day, six map kind of day, everyone wants to play...

01:28:48 Ja, turns out the diversion is pretty good.

01:29:17 Oh ja, ich bin, ich habe mit Rexy ein paar Mal gesehen, und ich denke, das ist die einzige Gun, sie glauben, sie hat mich zu tun. Wow. Ich bin nicht zu lieben, es ist, vielleicht aus dem Original, Freibar, die beste Gun we've ever seen in der Game gesehen haben. Ich wirklich nicht verstehe, wie kann man einen 1v1-1-1-1-1-1

01:29:46 Pretty much any other gun at like a 10 plus meter range. Yeah, fully kitted, you basically have Exodia in your hands. Once you get the magazine, that's the Forbido one himself. In any case, we'll see it perhaps later on. I remember Legacy also doing some damage as that solo on Serenity near that top three, but it's getting pretty crowded in Survey Camp quickly here. Dark Vale set up, Salad in position now, taking the building across everyone else.

01:30:15 We're seeing this here. LGD, on the other hand, another zone team that loves to play into the ring quickly. They have one building to themselves. No credit, too. Forced to stay and play back. Of course, there is four buildings in Survey Camp. Two caravans. And currently, all four buildings occupied. Got no credit. Got Fruit Salad. Got Serenity. And we've got LGD Gaming.

01:30:42 Caravans, no one's sitting in them for the moment. All the way up north, we do have Killdevil playing actually like literally outside the ring. Yeah. I guess they're just hoping to hold that and then, you know, not have to worry about their backs as they walk it in. Isn't that been their strength so far though? We've seen them be a bit of an outlier as soon as they get ring console knowledge and especially the fact that they got that ring console.

01:31:08 In SurveyCap itself, they're watching the Northern Train Tunnels. Where you might see Bearclaw Gaming, a team that already wiped out a while ago in game number one. Could be a repeat there, but NumNym on the other hand rolling under. Bit of a menace for them. Legends Gaming keeping away and NumNym trying to give chase here.

01:31:35 They've dodged each other, but the Boogie Boarders, no such larkers there. Having a fight over here against HKUF in Skyhook. Both teams have managed to grab one knock so far. HKUF though, they're going for the res first. Boogie Boarders, they're going to try and trade it back as they throw in nades to delay them. Oh boy, it's getting very pesky on the inside. And Racky has a stellar angle.

01:32:04 Der Veteran-Leadership hier auf der Boogie Boarders fronten, Killipoz also chiming in mit der Rampage. A new face on the block für Boogie Boarders, ein bisschen ein trade, wie wir sehen in den Rostern mit Akuma, in terms of players. Aber in der End, Boogie Boarders, sie stave off, anyone fighting sie da. Ja, straight up 1-for-1 swap, da, mit Killipoz und Fussy. Obviamente, both very accomplished players.

01:32:30 Das ist es, Fossi hat wohl die besten results auf LAN mehr als letztendlich. Und deshalb, du musst du fragen, ob Boogie Boarder, wenn du dich glücklich mit dem Switch bist. Aber nur Zeit wird sagen.

Legends Gaming dominiert, Kill Devil bleibt konstant, Weibo kämpft mit Anpassung

01:32:48

01:32:48 Ich glaube, wir sehen uns auch nebenbei. Ich glaube, wir haben eine Probleme mit dem Landriot in der 36. Ich glaube, das ist wirklich eine der L-A-Runder-Genome in Split 1. So viele Teams von Apex-South nicht mehr in den Lobby. Diese Region braucht ein bisschen...

01:33:12 A buff-up, you know, coming into Split 2, just to prepare themselves for international competition. And hopefully, we're gonna see some of these teams get back the confidence. We already saw it for Makers, Tommy Kong, Boogie Birders perhaps in the future. But this ring now, still looking to hold in Survey Camp north of Epicenter. And it just might be where MDY Black is stationed here already.

01:33:37 Und das ist definitiv der Weich heute. Und als Sie sagen, sie haben das Haus auf dem Heel geöffnet.

01:33:46 ...above Climatizer. Every central for this ring. So many other teams shoved into Survey Camp. Potentially from the outskirts in Epicenter. But MDY, they're the ones who can sit pretty for a while now. I mean, I guess we don't even really need to differentiate anymore, do we, Dax? Because...

01:34:09 After having MDYY finally picked up by LGD Gaming. Um, I'm gonna double check. For the first time. I'm gonna double check the interview. No, I literally, I just pulled up Likipedia as well, yeah. No, they are the only MDY crew in Apex South right now, yes. Okay, we can just call them MDY. I press CTRL F on Likipedia, MDY, and I'm like...

01:34:34 It's finally happened. Only one single color and only one single MDY. Yeah, I know, as far as I know, as far as I know, VK Gaming has an MDY in it, but hey, they're VK, we call them that way. Bearclaw, on the other hand, they have an angle here, but we wait to see what Bearclaw would find as they've been stalking these train tunnels for quite a while. Apparently, the answer is the boogie boarders who's coming in from Skyhawk.

01:35:04 Das war das Initial Fight win für sie. Sie sind mit den Double Purples.

01:35:13 Legends sitting in over here. They're right next to Keep Going Gaming, but I think they'll be fine for quite a while because they've got the next circle, and then still some of the building here will be in the circle after that, Dax. Will they want to take up a position earlier than that? Possibly. It'll be interesting to see if they decide to take the fight, or if the fight comes to them, actually, with KPG.

01:35:40 Pushing up a little bit, but you know, maybe they're just waiting for that opening. And if they don't get it, perhaps we can call a truce. I mean, it's been a standoff. Keep going gaming and legends nearby one another. Actually, Bearclaw and Boogie Boarders finding one another, but dissuaded from the fight itself. And Killapaw is under pressure on the other side of the map. But it's just a waiting game here. Keep going gaming. If they make a single mistake, especially against Setup of Player K.

01:36:09 Hier sind die Menschen in Trouble, Skans 2 geteilt. 3, Cleaner! Erased from Existence! Und das ist der opening. Legends Gaming ist für ein Dark Fail, Out of Desperation. Kei Age ist für Cover mit Fiercing Spikes 2. Aber Legends Gaming, sie brauchen ein Knopf, sie brauchen ein Reason. Und es ist der Zeit, der Shine ist jetzt.

01:36:30 They have routed KPG here. And there we go, the Catalyst player does get finished off. Killdevil adding to their tally, actually, by stealing that one away from Legends Gaming. That was so quick. And that's the beauty of the Legends Gaming system. Really, as soon as you see a single knock, Striping Flame, he's gonna go for call for the advanced. Easy Flash, so much so on it. Player K, providing it an accurate treat.

01:36:59 Ja, mehr of a nightmare for those guys to start off with.

01:37:26 ...as makers make their way even further into this game... ...off the back of that Fuse Pig. ...as we saw, not one of the more common ones here, but... ...certainly teams who want to have a bit of extra firepower... ...and use those Knuckle Clusters and that Motherload... ...to add to their arsenal. ...It's an issue with Weibo nearby, YR.

01:37:52 He needs his health back up, Braun, so Sato's setting up defenses too, but you know that Weibo wants it now. They get the beam going though. Aflo, he's fallen, why our answer back versus Bobo, but NumNymphs can't handle the pressure, and when Wansan or Weibo wants it, they will get it, but have they gotten too much to handle now, as there's contact from above?

01:38:17 Es ist ein Warmonster, Firebird. Und sie haben ein Triple Blues, Dax. So als sie aufhören, sie eigentlich aufhören, in der Ende, als Aizu ist sehr low. Und jetzt ist er noch ein Charged Rifle von irgendwoher. Aber, honestly, sie haben irgendwie gemacht. Waeboe hat zu bleiben, Boring, hier.

01:38:42 They run into the circle. Makers also trying to do the same, albeit a little more healthy on their way in. Other teams set up with Watson Fences, Pylons already around them. Teams like Dreamfire, teams like Outside as well. You can see spreading out around the position that Makers are. Killdevil have picked it perfectly. It does indeed.

01:39:10 Ja, mit der 1-2-Split haben sie eine Position. Weibo, doch, left zu Solo. Und es ist Jackie Chan in der Mitte, all das action. Dreamfire, doch, will be found by VK Gaming. Boogie Boards Eliminated. Weibo Gaming Eliminated. Und ich denke, das ist das Problem für Weibo, so far. All diese Teams haben studiert Weibo mehr, kommen in den Nr. 2. Sie wissen, wie strong Wants-On-Dumplin kann sein. Und wir haben in diesen Fights, hier, Genome, dass Weibo...

01:39:37 They're not as clean as they were compared to the last split. They're always taking at least a knock along the way and then a third party comes along and prevents them from resetting the way they want to. Yeah, it has been a little bit tough from Weibo here. I mean, let's go and check. I mean, we can't just think back to our historical knowledge of where these teams have been landing, right, Dax? We have to check every time now and be like, okay, is there a reason for this? And...

01:40:06 Und jetzt schauen wir uns jetzt. Sie sind von Siphon. Sie sind von Siphon, genau. So, historically, eine der, you know, der Top 2, Top 3 P.O.I.s in der ganzen Welt's Edge. So, das Gespräch, dass wir sie durch so far haben, ist nicht erklärt von der P.O.I. Draft.

01:40:26 Warmonster Firebird ist nicht so gut, aber es ist noch nicht so gut. Warmonster Firebird ist mit 3.0. Er hat die Reset, aber es ist noch nicht so gut, aber es ist noch nicht so gut. Es ist noch nicht so gut, aber es ist noch nicht so gut. Es ist noch nicht so gut, aber es ist noch nicht so gut.

01:40:55 Schark, die nur noch stehen, Gerwandmonster Firebird und M.D.U.I. Eliminated. No back-to-back für sie.

01:41:04 Hmm no mobile respawn beacon currently in the inventory either. Maybe there's one in those death boxes, but so many other teams struggling to find their way into round five. You can see the shadow caps coming out of here and it's not going to be enough for no name. He brought a bow check to a gunfight and in the end it wasn't enough. Dreamfire VK war monster firebird are feasted on Sorrenti gone too.

01:41:33 Und es ist das Klassik Apap South Fiesta. Wenn wir die Ring close in sehen, diese Teams sind zu sterben. Und von oben, von der Perch, Legends Gaming, einfach nur ein Augenblick auf. 100 da, und die Frag ist da. Und Bearclaw Gaming eliminated, Legends Gaming feasting wieder. Sie wissen, es ist ein einfaches Mark. Versus Outside.

01:41:53 Es ist so gut für sie, und unlike Killdevil Dax, die von SurveyCamp waren, haben sie sehr viel zu gewinnen, Legend haben auf diese anderen Teams festgestellt, und sie haben eine Art von der Circle zu sichern, eine Direkt Line in die nächste Zone, als auch ein Gold Nemesis in Strafing Flames Hand, und wie viele Backbats, wie man sich ein Stick an.

01:42:22 So, Legends Gaming, honestly, you know, sitting in a fantastic spot here. And I really think it'd be cool to get a listen in with Legends Gaming in a second to see how they play this out as they move towards that final second. Let's go to that now. We can't get Mirren. It's blue armors, bro. One has purple. It's only solo. Only solo.

01:42:52 Ich bin sicher! Ich bin sicher! Ich bin sicher!

01:43:19 Okay, okay

01:43:34 Du bist gut, du bist gut, du bist gut, du bist gut!

01:44:02 Lost aim, lost aim. Ja. Oh, I died. You win this player. I'm holding on two. Speak smart, speak smart. Oh, this is insane, but it's not enough for Legends Gaming. The godly nades Player K step up. It was so much going in favor of Legends, but no credit. They got in there, and they got the job done.

01:44:37 Dax, Team's dropping like flies as Zone 4 closes in, giving Legends Gaming a collection of KP and a...

01:44:46 Das war's für heute, Dax.

01:45:09 I was freaking out the whole time. Legends Gaming was doing that. It started with the nades, as I mentioned. But Player K, usually he's your anchor. Usually he's your support. And with an RE Fortified, sure, it had the Hammer Point. But that was just so, so decisive from Player K. And because of it, Lace...

01:45:26 16 Kp for Legends in 2nd place. Das ist ungefähr 25 Punkte, wenn ich mich richtig in die Nachricht habe. Das ist verrückt zu sehen von Legends Gaming und genauer was wir für sie sind.

01:45:39 Yeah, you know, usually holding off a team, you sort of pepper a couple of shots from far back. Player K just decided that, no, I'm going to decimate the teams that flock in for us to be able to get the revive there on easy. But that was absolutely exceptional by them. M and K is as well absolutely decimating all in their path. They did sort of manage to get a little bit further into zone, but it was sort of held out in this section of the game.

01:46:09 Ich glaube, es war sechs Teams in dieser Final Zone. Ja, und ich habe zu sagen, das ist ein Spiel, das die Anker-Player hat, wie die Anker-Player von Legends-Gaming hat. Und tatsächlich Killed Devil, sie hat gut genug gemacht.

01:46:24 Aber Legends hat das extra firepower. Und das war ein Ding of Beauty. Die EZ-Flash von oben. Es ist ein Toss-up für sie. Aber ohne Player K.'s Antics. Und ohne Player K.'s Position in der ersten Place. Legends Gaming würde nicht die Möglichkeit haben. Sie waren sehr niedrig. Aber 25 kills.

01:46:48 Das ist etwas für die Books, wirklich. Und ein Marker, ein Standard, ist so early in den Splits. Sie wissen, dass sie nicht die Win-Win für Legends-Gaming gewinnen werden, sie werden zu den Top-Sky-Rocken gehen. Und die Spieler-K-K-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A

01:47:10 Excellent position in that last zone. And they just had to wait idly by to collect all the kills there to take out the win. And Kill Devil, again, placing quite high for our teams today, Dax. Didn't have really a lot of KP, I guess, in that one. But, you know, getting that top three position is excellent for them. And as we take a look, we'll have a look exactly where they sit, Dax.

01:47:36 Das ist genau das, was wir erwartet für sie.

01:48:05 Getting knocked out about 15th place, having a few kills along the way, but, you know, that is not a usual thing for them. This is exactly what we want to see from Legends Gaming. This is exactly why they made it to Split 1 Playoffs. They can absolutely decimate all that's in their path with the cohesion that this team has. It's awesome, I guess, Kill Devil still kind of taking charge, taking the lead, not, as I said, collecting the kill points as we wanted them to see, but again, Makers as well.

01:48:34 They've been going toe-to-toe with Killdevil in our leaderboard recently, but I guess that match showed that all their hard work really pushed them to the top for a reason.

01:48:46 Ich meine, es ist etwas, wir waren mit Genome, wie die Edge-Teams kann so eine große Herausforderung machen, und es hat sich nicht so gemacht. Aber es ist nicht der beste Weg für sie zu machen, dass sie so lange in der Spiel ist. Die einzige Spiel, die sie eigentlich gewonnen haben, war, dass sie in der Zone waren, und sie hatten B2B Vantage, sie hatten Red Armored, und sie hat die Floor gegen jemanden, sogar mit den Watsons.

01:49:10 Right now, das ist wirklich der Fall der Team wie Legends Gaming in Rally Pack. Once sie finden eine gute Position, und sie haben Step Up Place von EZ-Flash, von Player K2. Wir sehen jetzt wie gut Legends Gaming kann sein. Und jetzt bin ich so froh, Lace, wie das Spiel wirklich unfolded. Ja, Killdevil war gut. Ja, Makers war gut. Aber Legends Gaming, wieder zurück.

01:49:35 Basically in control of how this lobby can go here. Yeah, we call it like a snowball effect. You know, once they ramp up, you just can't stop them. That was our game number three. We're going to take ourselves a short break and we will see you guys back shortly.

01:52:14 We are here for Apex South Pro League here in Split 2. I'm here joined with Dax today. We just witnessed an absolute blessing of a game from Legends Gaming. But let's not take away the credit from no credit who took out the win in match number three. I feel like Legends Gaming has just got the source and they're going to make their way to the top.

POI-Draft beeinflusst Strategien, Kill Devil sichert sich Sieg in Spiel 4, Legends Gaming beeindruckt weiterhin

01:52:39

01:52:39 I mean, they got back into the game. And now we're going to be going into a next map. Storm Point is up next. And when it comes, a new draft too here, Lays. And I guess what's most interesting for me coming into this draft is we saw priority for certain teams, for most of the teams actually, back in World's Edge, around 14 of them. But right now, only six of the squads.

01:53:01 Ja, wir sah Legends Gaming pick Geyser, glaube ich, auf World's Edge.

01:53:27 Teams shine a little bit brighter on particular maps. Weibo Gaming, Wonton Dumpling, we knew them as edge hunters. They found it, I guess, a little bit difficult, I think, in World's Edge decks, but they can really do some damage on Storm Point. So this could potentially be their game and bringing in this POI draft system, getting to pick, I guess, going over to Pylon could be massive for them because this is such a great POI.

01:53:54 Speaking of Pylon, Weibo Gaming, that's exactly what they used to play as Wanton Dumping. Dreamfire also 12-pick going back to the mill. So you can see if it's a sub-20 draft pick, it's something that they've already played from split number one. And it just goes to show that it's what they're prioritizing. And not only that, it's something they're very familiar just to rally back in the bottom half.

01:54:16 Yeah, it's going to be exciting just, I guess, to see how these teams move out of their selected POIs, just because, you know, this could be something different for them. But we're going to take it away. We're going to head on over to our first game on Storm Point here. This is going to be match number four. Let's take it away.

01:54:38 We are halfway into the session already here, Genome, and we are moving into Storm Point. And look at what's happening to kick things off. A finisher even. No way for Ransacker to get out. Final Dream, picking up KP early. Was that no contest? Who said that? Was that me? Probably. Did I say that?

01:55:02 Well, look, it turns out, as it so happens, that yeah, well, we do have HKUF running into Final Dream very quickly, right? I think there are some flight paths from some of these POIs that can actually get very close to each other, right? So with Final Dream being over there at Cliffside, obviously that's like, you know, literally one of the worst ones.

01:55:30 Um, and then having Trident as well, I mean, we're gonna have to start referring to them as, oh, sorry, as these names now, Dax, because, um, yeah, that's literally what these teams are picking, right? So Final Dream, um, they were over at Lightning Rod, of course. Um, and then, yeah, HKUF, they got Cliffside, Cliff underscore side, because it was literally pick 40. Yeah.

01:55:57 I guess that's the problem, because it's a snake trap. You get your first pick for your first map, or whatever map you want to prioritize, but now, coming at the store point, this is where it's gonna hurt HKUF, Eastrail, Cliffside, whatever you want to call it, that early contest for a car.

01:56:10 It just doesn't pan out for them and they can't even rotate quickly enough to get anywhere else. MDYBlack had their number towards Launchpad even. I do want to say though real quick here, Genome. Legends Gaming usually strafing. He's looking for something like a Trident. Can't do it now because they all drop towards Seto and they're moving into Jurassic.

01:56:30 Ja, so some shots are ringing out and I guess yeah as going back to that snake draft Dax Some teams, you know, they'll get two middling picks and perhaps they've got an equal chance to play out across from either Welts edge or from storm point and other teams like HKUF who get the one and the 40 They've just picked up only eight points

01:56:58 von Pick 1 und jetzt haben sie einen besseren Weg von Pick 40. Das ist so schwierig hier, speziell jetzt, wenn alle diese Teams schauen, um ECHO HQ zu gehen. Das ist etwas sehr familiär für diese Apex-Out-Squads. Es wird so chaotisch.

01:57:14 Especially with this ring pull like this. Moving from the pylon towards the southeast. Huebo's got them in there successfully. They already have NumNym in on the inside. FruitSalad again. One of the faster rotating teams right beside VKKB2.

01:57:32 Very well set up now between the two separate buildings. Ah, Weibo. I'm seeing a couple of different teams come in now. MDY Black have just pulled up.

01:57:47 Und sie versuchen, in die unter-Echo position. Dreamfire geht von der Trident zu der Evac, aber es wird Snipe-DOWN! Das ist Unlucky für Dreamfire. Und Weibo war auf der zweiten Chance, doch nicht, sie haben noch einen zu sparen. Knowing wie Weibo war, sie werden sie bemerken, vor allem die Flightpapen.

01:58:14 Oh, no. Oh, no.

01:58:43 Und ja, es sahen sich, dass sie ein Knochen in den skydessen könnten. Aber sie haben tatsächlich geschafft. Aber jetzt ist es ein sehr starkes Position.

01:58:54 Greenfire safe for the time being Unfortunately couldn't make the mark that they want early eliminations in the past few games after a relatively decent game number one LGD on the other hand formerly MDY white and why we still have the MDY color convention naming here I mean we've seen some of these squads here G&M more so play the zone based on their history

01:59:22 Lusal ist einer der MDY, oder LGD, aber noch nicht. Auf der anderen Seite habe ich einen Kontakt auf Pylon. Es ist outside, um jetzt in den Outdoor-Circle zu gehen. Und noch nicht, dass die Tabs und Tabs auf dem.

01:59:37 Yeah, just the two sitting in Pylon at the moment, Dax. Will we get a pullback? These two teams would love it, but the other 10 teams sitting over in Echo HQ right now who are banking on that would not be so pleased. That said, they're just going to juke around a little bit. Nice little isolated TDM match between.

02:00:03 So true. So true. I guess what's interesting is outside, as a team, if you look at this roster, it's a little bit new with Nyuku and Emilias, formerly of IBG from last year actually, coming back to return.

02:00:31 ...in competition under the outside banner. And at least, stay alive for now. Get away from the likes of NoCredit. And relatively, they get this pyramid building here that can be good for the rotation later on. They're still looking at them, still wondering about this. As we do get the next ring pull, and it is indeed an Echo HQ Zone. That said...

02:01:00 A little bit over to the other side towards Devastated Coast. I think teams pulling in, playing the hill above Echo HQ. Between that and Devastated will probably be okay too.

02:01:14 But because it's pulled a little bit north, that means, yeah, the teams we're looking at here, LGD, Fruit Salad, and VKG, have some of the better spots now. And look, we still haven't lost a squad at this point. Yeah. Why did the squad still alive? This has been one of the cleanest games, cleanest starts so far for Apex Out. The only one we've lost there was from HKUF, contesting the initial trial then towards Lightning Rod.

02:01:43 Und ich glaube, meine Augen ist auf Killdevil. Sie versuchen zu spielen, wo die Majorität ist, aber sie sind immer nebenbei. Sie sind hier auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U., auf der E.H.O.H.U

02:02:11 Killdebler haben sich in die Boxseite wieder einmal gespielt. Ich meine, es scheint, dass das Bellwether Team heute in dieser Serie ist. Sie sind jetzt 35 Punkte, einer auf der Topf der Leaderboard, die Makers ist. Und wenn Killdebler einfach ein paar KP, ein paar Placement Points hat, dann wird ein absoluter Plakker aus dem Start gespielt werden.

02:02:37 I picked them up especially because of the addition of Bolin. And on the other front here it's Final Dream. Now facing off against Bearclaw Gaming in Jurassic. Now it's Final Dream looking to find an angle here from the elevation. And aim on SWQ as well as Moku.

02:02:54 Ich habe ein bisschen von Chip-Damage, aber dieses Hype ist gut für Final Dream. So far, Scan jetzt, um zu schauen, wo Barretklau ist, um zu hide in Cover zu finden. Ich habe noch genug, als noch nicht. MXF Eliminate Offstream, derby Keep-Going-Gaming. Sie sehen, Moku zu spielen, ein bisschen zu weit zu spielen. Aber Lutz, eigentlich mit der ersten Knoche hier. Und jetzt, es ist Trouble für Final Dream. Sie sind schon so weit in die Lobby.

02:03:20 Two points over three maps, you're in the fort, get nothing to, as Bearclaw eliminates them.

02:03:27 No credit. Masters of the third party. Princes of turning up when exactly you don't want them to. But they will take two knocks straight up here. Incredible turnaround from Bearclaw. Pentru goes for the clutch and he will get it. They got the flesh early on and Bearclaw Gaming survived to tell that tale. No credit.

02:03:56 Das ist eine große Herausforderung für die Third Party. Sie sind sehr gut in den Rutschen. Aber wir haben gesehen, dass sie einen von ihnen get knocked down so oft in den Kampf. Saviour ist der Frontline. Und nicht in die beste Weise. Er wird es early auf. Wir sehen es, die Peacekeepers da von Weibo zu sehen. Und dieses Mal, sie payt die Preis für ihn. Versus Bearclaw. Incredible Clutch. Usually, es Saviour kommt auf in diesen Situationen. Aber nicht dieses Mal.

02:04:27 Legends Gaming ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

02:04:52 Would you drive a car like that? There's just like a spinning top of electricity in front of it rather than like the engine block peeking out or something. Yeah, that's some back to the future Looney Tunes kind of nonsense Legends Game you've got going on here. Wow, even Easy Flash makes it in. They've got the next pylon ready to go as well so they can't get besieged.

02:05:19 Even more important in these lobbies where you have the Fuses playing, Dax. Of course, we've definitely seen more Fuse on World's Edge. If we note how the teams have mixed up their compositions going from starting off on World's Edge and now moving across into Storm Point.

02:05:41 Wow, it's actually been the other way around. Bearclaw Gaming have switched from Watson to Fuse. Uh, HKUF have switched from Catalyst to Fuse. We're seeing a bit more Fuse right now. They know some teams will love to tuck themselves into these kind of corners and try to punish whatever they can. Numb them though. Central location stolen Echo HQ. Next ring calling in the favor of MDYY, who are one of the better teams to call those kind of rings, but Legends Gaming...

02:06:07 Oh my god, yeah. With the amount of actual playable space left in this ring.

02:06:35 We are going to say goodbye to so many squads So, so, so many

02:06:41 Das ist irgendwie nuts. Das ist wie es funktioniert. Es ist so wenig space. Und du kannst sehen, half of es, mehr als half, 60% auf der Cliff-Side sind. LBVs arbeiten mit dem, aber es ist wie Trouble Afoot, die gehen. Sie haben einen zu arbeiten, aber sie sind diejenigen zu arbeiten. Sie sehen, die Äsias, und die resten von Makers, auch.

02:07:10 Wie ist das, dass sie alle das Pressure haben? Sie sind in der Ring, aber für wie lange? MAKERS jetzt versuchen zu machen. Die Fences sind in der Weg. Yuku ist mit dem Stand-Up in der Pylon. Und jetzt Ong-Sang hat ihn geholfen, wie er mit der Hunt. MAKERS, die Eliminationen von der Weg ist, außerhalb der Steadfasten.

02:07:35 Oh, they're gonna get some of these guys back up. We had Killdevil getting involved in that fight with the Sentinel. And on the other side, Warmonster Firebird getting rinsed here by Weibo Gaming.

02:07:51 It's a struggle again, and here we go with Chaos afoot. Armor Survivor, they thought it would be a free third party, but Kano, the only one still standing now, as you can see that Weibo wants a piece of the action, but they need to go for their own reset to have been knocked down. While this happens, though, Fruit Salad will take advantage. Rarely do you see this team venture outside as much as they would like here. Right now, they're hunting the stragglers of Weibo. They find...

02:08:18 He got along the way, they find Waybo Shore, but eventually they turn on the round and they realize that it's Boogie Boarders now in position. War Monster Firebird, they're eliminated and Fruit Salad need to get out of danger as soon as possible. Yeah, Boogie Boarders, they've actually created a nice little pocket for themselves. You can see there with the intersection of the cat walls. It gives them time to get Killer Paws back up and running.

02:08:45 Incredible timing from Boogie Boarders there to actually make this and slam. Of course, they were around the other side of the wall. There was a pocket in Pylon where you could still play up until now. So they've evac'd around that to come in for a desperate last minute attempt. As you can see, just plundering these boxes for ultimate accelerants because they need every ult they can to try and make their way into.

02:09:12 Die 5e Runde.

02:09:33 The time for watching is over and the time for getting involved is now Killdevil with their position on the hill

02:10:00 Looking down, sneering at the rest of the lobby. We're getting their hands dirty, but they're above that. They're above the frays and the worries of the peasants below. LGD Gaming. They've managed to carve out a little bit of space for themselves on the left-hand side here. Not only that.

02:10:20 Mingyue hat 6 Bullets in der Kraybar. Das sagt, sie haben nur Blues, also sie müssen auf die LGD und Legends Gaming auf den Händen.

02:10:33 Und Legends kann eigentlich commit auf das. Was ist Feiju? Knochs Player K from afar. Und Legends muss jetzt gehen für den Reset. Du hast es gesagt. Killdevil moving in. Sie senden Blood in the water. Und es ist der Zeit für Shai. Killdevil. Lying in wait. Watching, waiting. Und jetzt sind sie auf der Hunt. Es ist nur ein Smokescreen. Das keeps...

02:10:53 Legend Gaming Alive here as LGD will be eliminated, but Kill Devil, they've had a stellar date today, and they're looking to continue now with a win here. Game number four goes KDW. Incredible from Kill Devil. Just from strength, strength is team.

02:11:17 Es ist nicht so, dass sie sich gebeten haben, diese Spielstack. Ich meine, das war ein unglaublicher Weg zu spielen. Identifizieren die Armoury early auf. Looking für Kills in der Mid-Game. Und dann einfach in den richtigen Zeit zu kommen gegen Serenity. Und spielen von einem höheren Ground. Ich liebe es.

02:11:38 um, the macro and the decision making from Kill Devil so far today, Lace. Yeah, something crazy happening for them, you know, they were kind of pushing around that rock just to get into that zone and absolutely obliterating all in the path, just to sit Ili by, I guess while Legends Gaming sort of had to fight for their lives there, but Kill Devil just absolutely decimating in these last couple of matches and then again in match number four, it's excellent to see them, you know, they're sitting about second.

02:12:07 um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,

02:12:19 I feel like it's going to be pretty close to that at the very least. Look, Legends did put down quite a number of kills that game, Lace. I've got to say that as well. They might not be taking out the Dubs, Legends. They've had two seconds so far, but they have scored more than 10 kills in two games. Yeah, we saw Legends Gaming take out VK Gaming, who's just sitting underneath them on the leaderboard. So I guess that's going to, you know...

02:12:48 Ich habe sie in eine viel größere Leid wieder und sichergestellt, dass sie das Top-Spot sind. Aber ja, wie wir sehen, diese Ruckpläge hier von Serenity kamen. Es war nicht genug, mit all den Nadespams kamen und zu kämpfen, um ihre Leben zu kämpfen, um diese Position zu gewinnen. Was Kildevil.

02:13:09 They were lying in wait and they pounced just when they needed to. You know, they weren't content to sit up on that high ground. They saw the trades coming out from teams two and three. And that said, of course, it's the time to go in. You can see how easily they mopped the floor with the last team as they flew into a first place with seven kills. But...

02:13:35 Das ist 19 Punkte für sie. Es ist 21, aber für Legends Gaming. Ja, ich denke, du hast es da, dass es Skyrock in Legends Gaming ist, richtig zu der top. Dax und ich waren über die ersten paar Matches für Legends Gaming, 15th und sehr low auf der Leaderboard da, und hatte eine Kräcke in Game 3, haben sie in 3. Ich glaube, wir können es wieder machen, aber wir finden jetzt, G-Dome!

02:14:04 We're correct in both avenues. Yeah, it's a tie there. We've got Legends Gaming. Of course, they're going to be, if it was a tiebreaker for these two right now, it would be Legends ahead because they've had that massive game with the 16 kills, a 25-point game, the highest point game being the first tiebreaker.

02:14:27 für die Teams. Aber natürlich haben wir noch zwei Games zu haben. Es wird mehr als sichergestellt werden, bei den points zwischen den zwei Schluggern zu gehen. Makers, um, sie kämpelt ein bisschen. Das war ein schweres Spiel für sie in Spiel Nummer 4, so das heißt, sie sind jetzt ein bisschen behind in die Pace, aber ich meine, wenn sie am Tag in 3rd enden, sie würden immer wieder zurückgehen.

02:14:51 was that something like 19 split points 18 split points i think it is which is uh yeah a really good effort still yeah we're so used to seeing i guess legends gaming at the top genome along with uh weibo previously once on dumpling but to see you know legends gaming and kill devil up there this is why i absolutely love this region you just have no idea who i guess has put in the absolute work to just change the game uh you know they've been thrown into this new poi draft system as well

02:15:21 In der 4th match we saw a little bit of a contest, so it kind of feels a little bit funny to see teams landing on each other with these changes. But you know what? They just adapt so well, our region. Yeah. I mean, I guess one of the adaptations that Kill Devils made, we've touched on it a little bit throughout the day, but considering how well they're doing, I feel like we have to mention it again, the addition of Bolin.

02:15:45 Um, who of course was playing for DNZ last split. And, uh, Heihua leaving Killdevil seems to have just completely revitalized this team. We know how good Boland's been. We've seen him do it at LAN a couple of times. And, yeah, look, Killdevil, um, he was struggling last split. This split, completely different story. That's it. Rostamania can change things for us. We're going to take ourselves a short little break and we will see you guys shortly.

02:19:45 Oh, it's a...

02:20:10 Big gap there between first and second and the rest of our lobby here. And it's a big gap between Kill Devil's split one performance of 30th last place and the fact that they are on track to start it off in first place here after match day one.

02:20:31 You know, before the break we were talking a little bit about Rostomania and I guess the changes, and you were speaking that, you know, Kill Devil has had a little bit of a change, and this is exactly what they needed, Gino. It's nuts, isn't it? Yeah, I mean, look at this, consistent on the kill points, consistent on the placement points, yeah, three out of four games today have just been bangers for Kill Devil, and we've actually got a lot of vision of it sometimes, you know, you see a team,

02:21:01 Und du denkst, wie das eigentlich passiert ist? Du hast einen J-Hawk gemacht und den VOD den ganzen Weg durch, um das zu arbeiten. Aber die Observers sind auf es, um, um, wir haben wirklich getroffen, um, wir haben wirklich getroffen, um, wir haben wirklich getroffen, um, wir haben wirklich getroffen, um, ja, es ist so cool zu sehen, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um

02:21:28 You know, that sort of stuff. But they have made the most of it. That is the absolute truth, Blaze. Yeah, and you know, we can't, I guess, not talk about Legends Gaming. We saw them play in Split 1 Playoffs. You know, they've made it to LAN. They are always performing extremely well, you know, in the top of our leaderboards. And let's go and watch them perform wonderful again. We're going to take it away to game number five, guys. We're back on Stormpoint.

02:22:01 Two more left in the set here, Genome. And we got two teams at the very top of the leaderboard. Killdevil and Legends Gaming tied in points. Also tied in damage. Over 10k for both, effectively. And it's getting exciting at the very top. But we have so many other squads looking to find their form. Serenity? Perhaps one of them who can play spoiler within the top five right now. Yeah, you know, we keep having to sort of go over some...

02:22:30 Aspects of this POI draft and how it's affecting this. Because it really is one of the biggest changes we've had to competitive Apex in a long time, if ever. I mean, we thought that the Legend upgrades system was a big change. I feel like it actually didn't affect things that much in the end, right Dax? I mean, the Evo changes, that certainly had a big effect in how you play the game. Upgrades not so much. The POI draft system, I think, is going to be a big one. And we've seen some teams...

02:22:59 Ich glaube, für Komfort Picks. You know, Legends Gaming, they picked Seto Station over Mill when they had the third pick today. And obviously they played from Seto before, but I think one of the things we have to point out here is they played from Seto, but they usually stole the Trident from Cenote Caves. They can't do that anymore. When you land there, you don't have the distance to get all the way and grab the whip down from down south.

02:23:28 So it's a big difference from them. They could have played a similar position, a very quick looting POI and still have to try it had they picked Milt first, but they leave it for Dreamfire and that's interesting that we're seeing teams go for, you know, what is more of a comfort pick. You know, who knows, maybe Legends do think Cedar is actually a better POI.

02:23:52 Either way, there's so many little dynamics going on behind the scenes when these teams have to make these choices in the POI draft every week.

02:24:07 Das war's für den Shields 2. Und VK Gaming ist bei mir. No Credit. Sie haben bereits ein Stück von Damage auf die Seite von Killdevil. Aber weil von VK's Presence, Killdevil hat die Early Rotation, die sie immer noch immer auf für die Spiele haben. Oh Gott, ja, das war ein bisschen ein bisschen für Killdevil, war es? Aber sie finden ihren Weg zurück in einer dieser Geburt.

02:24:35 They're glad they're here. They're joined by a couple of us. I think they'll probably be able to sit behind here and just, you know, play nice for now. Because you've got no credit. They're looking across at Legends, Hill Devil, VKG sitting in the Zip building. And then more teams are pulling up, though. Teams definitely just want to get in and around this NumNim. Taking some shots on the way in, as well as Fruit Salad.

02:25:00 Evac'ing in just under VK Gaming here. So as we see that gold longbow with the 410 scope. Reminder, 1x digital threats are vaulted. They are no longer in the game. That is the only digital threat scope that you can now get. And I've been watching some of the tendencies for some of these teams. Fruit Salad, as soon as they see that there's contact in the building, they actually swing east and go back the way they came.

Strategische Spielzüge und Teamdynamiken in APAC South Pro League

02:25:27

02:25:27 They're waiting, perhaps, for Weibo Gaming to come their way. We're looking at outside right now. He's also trying to move on in. But I do want to build on what you said a while ago. Instead of teams like Legends Gaming getting the Trident, Warmonster Firebird, it's a reason why they prioritize getting Cenote came, so they can get those Tridents. They didn't even see HKUF contest that initial Trident towards Lightning Rod, and they're only now looking to try and take it. But Legends, a faster rotate.

02:25:54 Just by flying in, it's a little bit different from the usual gameplay on this map. It is different, and, you know, if there's a ring like this, Dax, it's not too much of an issue, because assuming they get the evac towers required, which, you know, in Cenote, sorry, in Seato Station, you're almost certain to get, it's fine. It's just, there's some POIs where they can make a different, faster rotation if they've got a trident.

02:26:22 um, dass es wird ganz anders sein, von der alten System. Nice, mit der Thermite zu bekommen, das erste Runde der Tick, aber Cheeky kann man nicht mehr finden. Und da ist der Shift-Assistent, wie du gesagt hast, wie du gesagt hast, Saviour ist ein bisschen anders. Er ist auf die Kalos-Kalos jetzt, und ich glaube, das ist die Veränderung für Stormpoint. Für keinen Kredit.

02:26:49 Ja, aber was weird, Dax, ist er, dass er Wotzen in der ersten Game of Stormpoint spielt. So er hat sich nur über die Catalyst hier in Game 5 verändert.

02:27:14 Es ist eine Vintage-NoCredit-Thinge. Und nicht nur das... Sie haben das letzte Pick aus dem Snaketrap. Sie haben das erste Pick in der zweiten Runde. Sie haben das erste Pick aus dem zweiten Runde. Ja, das stimmt. Sie haben das Klassiker, für NoCredit. Die Jurassic war der Dropzone, bevor es sogar die Revamp hatte. Es ist ein Rotation-Path. Es ist sehr interessant, dass sie auf den Catalyst-Türkern.

02:27:42 Ja, und wenn ich über die Teams über die Komfort-Pits war, was ich wirklich gedacht habe, weil sie 20 und 21 gespielt haben, und sie einfach nur für den POIs waren. Sie waren für Skyhookies, sie waren für Jurassic, es ist wie...

02:28:01 Ah, sorry, I don't feel like doing a new Looting Path. You know, we'll leave that for next week. But now we're just gonna, you know, stick to what we know. Of course, that's not necessarily gonna happen every week. The teams, the picks that they get change every single week. They will be essentially the same weighting, but the numbers will change from week to week.

02:28:26 Ja, und wenn ihr euch nicht mit der Draft-System sind, in jedem Set werden wir eine andere Draft-Order haben. Wir haben die Drafting für die Woche bereits gemacht. Ich bin sehr gespannt, Genome, für morgen. Ich weiß nicht, dass ich nichts, aber es ist sehr verändert, als wir heute sehen. Und jetzt haben wir die Draft gemacht. Wir reden über die Draft. Wir reden über die Ring wieder. Jeder hat für die Lift. Jeder hat für die Bildung. Und SmackDap in der Mitte. Das ist genau da, wo wir gehen.

02:28:52 Yeah, straight down the guts, as you'd like to say. Hilldevil. They're buildings, because they're split-holding at the moment.

02:29:02 ...are going to be right on the edge of the ring. This is a good spot, Dax. It gives them some kill potential, as well as a safe rotation path into round four. Yeah, not many teams couldn't get that ring console info now. Dreamfire being one of them actually moving in with a trident from Cedo Station. We watch Serenity play from the wall.

02:29:26 Oh Gott. Oh Gott. Oh Gott.

02:29:50 Perhaps might be enough here, but Boogie Boarders can't find the sightline to clear out Serenity here. Oh, there they go. They find him. And that's it for Serenity. Oh, Raki matches the speed boost of Bugi there with the blood of the hunt. And that little bit of extra M&K movement around the corners will be enough for him to catch up and finish off the last Serenity member.

02:30:20 Es war so ein guter Plan von Serenity. Sie wussten, dass jemand von der Norte kommt, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Ring. Und sie wollten Boogie Boarders zu sein, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte, um die Norte zu sein.

02:30:52 Hier gibt es das K.P. wir waren über den K.P. für K.L. Devil. Das MxF hat versucht zu kommen auf der OUTSIDE und das Sauron... ist er zu über den anderen Böden, tatsächlich zu setzen auf die Wotzen Fences von seinem eigenen.

02:31:13 But meanwhile, he's given two Death Boxes worth of loot to Killdevil. Yeah, Killdevil. Still not on Purples, but it's at least a little bit more ammo for their push later. Oh, and Weibo, though, on the other hand, we haven't seen as much impact from the team who was the champion of Split No. 1 here in APAC South. Then their pushes being red, being caught on by other teams, and especially...

02:31:42 wenn der üsual plan relies on all three still standing after a first fight. Just not panning out as much, and we're seeing Weibo play a bit more careful here all the way in the southeast. War wants the Firebird though, here by Jurassic, and they're the ones rotating elsewhere.

02:32:01 I mean, they've got this tunnel to hold at the moment, Axe. I'll keep them safe for another minute or so. They've also spotted Dreamfire running into outside up in Cascade Falls, but kind of hard to get involved in that fight.

02:32:25 Interessant, Warmonster Firebird, so far as I know, warmonster Firebird hat Sharp, so he got his own individual land experience

02:32:37 Das war eine Überraschung. Aber Final Dream wieder. Die Struggles continue. Für die Team formerly known as Monkey King. FD. Trying to stay away. From any kind of contact point here. The left to two now. A push on in though. A perfect chance for Final Dream to get the knock going. KP can go their way here. And exactly what they needed. HKUF gone now from the lobby. Final Dream adding a few more to their tally. But Danger is a putt again.

02:33:06 Three teams collapse upon them. Boogie boarders from the north. LGD coming from the west. But it's MDY Black who look like they're going to get the final kills from the east. The building now left fallow as those three teams decide to disengage. Sensing things are getting a little too hot in there. No one wants that room. No one wants that vacancy.

02:33:33 While that happened, I do believe Dreamfire eliminated again, so struggles from Split No. 1 continuing here in Split No. 2, unfortunately. Keep going. Gaming, though, bobbing, weaving in the air! The movement from KH and Bible, that at least keeps them alive, but it's still a delicate scenario here.

02:33:51 Ich meine, ich dachte, sie waren okay für ein bisschen, aber...

02:34:17 Perhaps not, Weibo, after seeing the zone shift away from them, realize that they have to take this game into their own hands. Gugu there. Such a close call, playing with fire. But they've done enough to get rid of KPG ahead of them.

02:34:41 Und das ist das Spiel für Weibo zu spielen. Ja, es ist ein Safer-Player hier von Weibo, es bleibt ihn auf jeden Fall, für den Rest der Lobby. Für jetzt, wir sehen uns die Bogenborder versuchen zu finden, in Dinger zu finden, aber gegen die Teams, die die Gebäude haben, sind in Zone 2. Du schon sehen.

02:34:59 I mean, this is a much more tenuous spot from Boogie Boarders here. It's not in the next zone. Often these, you know, this spot actually the zone will pull here, but it very much doesn't. And so now Boogie Boarders who have committed to this spot

02:35:29 Sie haben einen Weg nach links und nach links zu finden. Sie brauchen eine Katwall. Und dann, ich weiß nicht, dass das genug sein wird, um sie all den Weg zu kommen. Hanna hat die beiden Katwall-Pirks hier. So, er hat die extra Distanz. Das wird ihnen ein bisschen helfen, um zu den Rockstack zu kommen. Aber es ist ein schweres Problem für die Boogie Boarders.

02:36:03 Boogie-Boarders, still perilous, perilous flight so far. And it's a standstill for them. It's a bit of a stalemate, really, for the Boogie-Boarders here. They just can't advance, can't absolutely put Fruit Salad still there watching out. And it's those scenarios where it's a rock in the hard place as the ring is pulling towards the east, where you already see Makers looking to set on up. But Panna, the shields are gone, needs to get back into cover, and this ring's gonna close in soon.

02:36:36 It is closing in now. These buildings are starting to get a lot more bloody. You can see the cat spikes everywhere as well as the fences down. Teams relying on the defensive encampments here. Okay, the ring closes. We've got 12 squads. We're about to lose five or six of them here, Dax. Yeah, MDY now. They're going to go for their own deathbed squad.

02:37:05 So close versus Weibo here. They're already our left to a dual. Single player left standing. August Stern trying to set up the dark bill. Allowing himself to isolate these angles. And look to knock out Weibo one by one. But LGD eliminated now. VK the one's in trouble here. Versus the likes of Legends Gaming. And Maker's happy to play from afar. MDY now gonna get eliminated. This is a flat being covered here by Maker's.

02:37:32 But these squads are getting so close to one another. Futsal got Legends still in the fight. So it's more 3k looking to be their victim. It's a 3v2 effectively. The Nox going in favor. VZ Flash and Legends Gaming getting the one up versus VK so far. An elegant fight though. The cover is good here for Straffing Flame. Shields are getting cracked again. Descans there. And this is the ghost signal for Legends Gaming. Nothing can stop Legends for now.

02:37:58 The singleplayer from Killdevil actually just throwing some bullets out towards Legends, but as he goes down he confirms that Legends will finish this game in the number one spot. They are not done yet, Dax. Easyflash has six kills to his name, but they wanna add NumNym to the list. It's what we said a while ago. Layson, I mentioned it once Legends gets going.

02:38:26 Es ist schwer zu stoppen, mit den EZ-Flash getrennt. Das kann die Chance für alle anderen Squaden in den Top 5. Boogie-Boarders, sie haben so lange gehalten. Lass uns in und sehen, was sie hier machen können.

02:38:46 Coming! Bang, bang, bang, bang! I can't see, I can't see anything! He's alone, he's alone, he's alone, he's alone. I have a pun out, I'm coming out. Can I be back? I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm off now.

02:39:06 Oh, Boogie Boarders, they can't deal with the very good position that Makers have on the rock above them. It was a good opening salvo, actually, but once that first 100 damage was done, the element of surprise wasn't able to overcome Makers in that fight. Three squads left now, Dax. We've got Warmonster Firebird, taking a bit too much damage, and then we've got NumNim sitting up top with the Kraber.

02:39:36 Well, Makers have been able to.

02:40:03 Get the res off here, and after this medkit goes off, they will be back to full health. And not only that, two of them have the red armor. Warmaster Firebird, they're a little bit in shambles. Probably in second place, the best that they can do. But with the height, with the Kraber, with the bow check, NumNim can put in so much damage from range, just like that.

02:40:29 Ja, aber Warmonster Firebird ist der Victim wieder. Es muss sich gegen die Likes der Makers hier sein. Die Hesitation von NumNim ist jetzt die High-Ground, die ELEVATED ANGLE, die sie spielen können, besonders mit YR. Der Smoke ist da. Allows die resten der Makers zu versuchen, und die Push. NumNim ist jetzt noch immer noch ein Nummer, ein Nummer, ein Nummer, ein Nummer von Warmonster Firebird, left oder Rat, left.

02:40:56 Shark just popping in at Evac Tower. He's really trying to do anything he can to distract as he tries to run it out towards the second place and the other two teams are getting into it. You never know. Maybe Shark can actually do this. He's going for the respawn right now. Yo, Shark, he's able to hold it down and...

02:41:17 Single becomes a trio now! Makers, though, still in a fight for their lives! They got the advantage here, versus the likes of NumNim. It's Asia's holding steady towards the truck, but where is War Monster Firebird? Azu and Kano still dropping from the ship. It's up the shark to initiate the fight, and here they come without the attachments. It's danger here for War Monster Firebird. The scan comes online again.

02:41:42 Kürtese von Makers, der sich die Position des Numnim von ein paar Mal vorhin ist. Schark ist jetzt nebenbei, aber er ist bereits zu Fletch. Und Looks like Makers geht für Doppdown. Tiki-Doh, Checking his Corner. Schark, Gone from the Fight, hier. A 3v2 für jetzt. Asias Knockdown-Shore, aber Makers haben eine Name für sich selbst. Und es ist ihre Chance, wieder zu bekommen. Makers will win Game No. 5, hier.

02:42:09 Oh my god, the last minute respawn from Warmonster 5. It is almost enough. The naked Havocs come in, but makers run away with Game 5.

Dominanz von Makers und Legends Gaming, Herausforderungen für andere Teams

02:42:21

02:42:21 Makers are back. Gina, they're back to stay. They're back to show us exactly what they're doing. And Dax, that was nothing short of amazing. If you guys are just tuning in, we just completed match number five here in Apex South Pro League. Well, you know, we had a team on the very bottom in split number one. They're no other than Kill Devil. Make their way all the way up to the top there, Dax. They're going toe-to-toe with Makers. They're going toe-to-toe with Legends Gaming. So it's exceptional to see.

02:42:50 Diese Teams flip the switch and absolutely decimate. But we have to hand it over to Makers, Dax. They are doing extremely well throughout all these games. It's just some of these rings, some of these placements from Makers. As soon as you see them in position, you know the game is over. But that got very dicey. I wanted to call it already. As soon as Numblim didn't actually push against Makers the first time around.

02:43:15 Das könnte sein, Makers zu bekommen. Aber Warmonster, Firebird, sogar Gmoe hat es. Sie haben die Mobi. Shark geht es in die Zeit. Wir wollten es nur ein Wrapp für Top 2. Makers hatte es zu arbeiten, aber es ist auch noch extra Kp für Makers.

02:43:33 Yeah, Legends Gaming here also fighting for their life and just swinging so perfectly on VK Gaming as well. And Boogie Boarders are finally turning up a little bit in this game. It may be a little bit too late in the game for them to sort of pull something out of the bag, Dax, because they haven't really been performing too well today. But here we see Makers.

02:43:55 I quite literally thought that they were ended here, but Asia's just holding on for dear life without a shield and taking out NumNim was just exceptional.

02:44:05 Ja, das ist der Respawn-B-Kind. Und in der Ende, Makers... Ich glaube, es ist ein bisschen wie das Gehau-To. In einer straight-up 3-defeat-3-Fight. Wir machen sicher, dass die Corners check, die die Potenzial Flags sind. Wenn Schwerk tatsächlich geht weg mit ein guter Damage, dann könnte es eine Chance für einen Monster Firebird. Aber in der Ende, sie sollten sich happy mit 2nd Platz und 2 Kills. Aber es gibt große Spiel hier. Nicht nur von Makers, aber auch Numnim. 3rd Platz, 8 Kills. Legends Gaming, das sollte 1st Platz für sie mit 9...

02:44:34 Ja, wir haben Killdevil da in 6. Sie haben die Chance für die ganze Zeit. Aber nicht mehr. Legends Gaming sneaks their way. All the way to the top. Sie sind, ich glaube, toe-to-toe mit Killdevil. In our previous tournament scoreboard. But look at them go. Now Dax, they have just absolutely...

02:45:04 Ja, es ist eine 3-Way-Race.

02:45:31 für die Top-Spot. Interessant, unsere 1st Pläser hier in der Leaderboard-Laze haben nicht gewonnen. Die Closest-Won war das Spiel, das die No-Credit war. Guild-Devil hat eine 1-Win gemacht. Makers haben einen 2-Win gefunden. Das ist deshalb in die Top-3 Pläser. Es ist sehr spannend, aber es gibt noch einen mehr Platz zu spielen, und es wird wirklich weitergehen. Die Last-Map werden sehen, wie die 25 Punkte von diesem Set nehmen.

02:45:57 Ja, und ich glaube, dass ich richtig mit Series Points bin. Wenn wir ein Team haben, das ich glaube, macht 3 Wüns. Ich glaube, wir haben einen Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus. So, MAKERS könnte das auch machen. Ich glaube, wir müssen die Series-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-Bonus-

02:46:25 Es hat sich jetzt auf den Punkt heute mit Zicchi zu tun. Und ich liebe das, dass wir immer wieder sehen, dass die Makers immer wieder haben, dass das Fallback-Fallback-Fall ist. Alles hat sich auf Asias zu halten, und das hat er gemacht. Das war das 1-up, und das war das 1-up. Und das war das 1-up. Und das war das 1-up-Fallback-Fallback-Fallback-Fallback-Fallback-Fallback-Fallback-Fallback-Fallback-Fallback-Fallback-Fallback-Fallback.

02:50:26 Surprise.

02:50:34 Well, we just saw Makers get yet another win, taking out the first win in match number one and now taking out another win for match number five. You know, can they do it again, Dax? We've basically geared ourselves up for the final game of the day. If you're only just tuning in, Legends Gaming is taken at the lead with 67 points, followed by Makers and our underdog team at the moment. Dax, kill devil totaling and they're tying at the moment with 60 points.

02:51:04 Es ist sehr spannend, an der sehr top. Kildevil, wir sehen sie haben die Struggles in Split 1. Mit der neuen Roster-Adingin-Bowlin hat es so ein heftiger boost zu dem Team. Aber auch für Luhan, und insbesondere Levy, die schon sehr gut gemacht haben. So eine gute Entscheidung zu machen für Kildevil, besonders von den Apex-South-Chaotik-Rotations.

02:51:29 Ja, ich fühle mich, das ist ein tolles Mal.

02:51:51 Dax.

Strategische Anpassungen und überraschende Wendungen im Turnierverlauf

02:52:17

02:52:17 Hier ist der Quickest Set heute. Wir haben nur A vs B. Das letzte Mal der ersten Tag des Spiel Nummer 2. Willkommen zurück, meine Damen und Herren. Vielen Dank für alle, die wir aufhören. Aber, Genome. Wer kann es in der Ende? Will Legends-Win? Will wir sehen Makers-Win getein? Oder will Kildevil-Surprise in Impress again?

02:52:41 Oh, a couple of fun options. Every single one of those dax would be a fun way to end the day, I dare say. But Legends Gaming, I don't know, man. They did pretty well when they were playing from Geyser. When they played from Sito, they looked like gods coming out with abrasive kills for every single game. And not only that dax, but the circle right on top.

02:53:09 Und was interessant ist, dass es für Kildevil ist, Legendsgaming kann für eine QuickRotate zu gehen. Sie haben eine Konsole nebenbei. Und ich denke, Genome, es ist sicher zu sagen, es ist ein 100% Pick Rate für Bangalore und Bloodhound, all throughout sechs Maps.

02:53:27 Nuts. Crazy. Lack of diversity. There's a lot of ways to put it, honestly. We do prefer to see a little bit more. Yeah, look. Controller character is obviously in a good spot right now. The rest of the meta, I mean, it's crazy, right? You would have thought that taking the digital threat out would potentially make Bangalore less.

02:53:54 Weil es nicht möglich ist, weil es nicht gegen die anderen Teams gibt. Aber die Teams haben sich auswählen, und jetzt kommt Blood-Alt und das ist dein Weg zu sehen durch die Bangalore Spoke. Und es ist auf jeden Fall, unlike die Short-Range, die Digital-Threats haben. Ja, Blood-Alt ist die Digital-Threat, eigentlich. Er sieht alles, er weiß alles, und sogar ohne das 2nd...

02:54:21 Tactical cooldown reduction perk there. It doesn't matter because all these teams, if they play the Bang, they have to play the Blood and everyone has to do that or else they're gonna be at disadvantage. I'd say he's more of an analog threat myself, but...

02:54:39 Das war ein Boomer Joke. Sorry. Ich weiß nicht, ist das ein Cassette Tape? Betmaps? Das kinder sind? A CD? Laserdisc? A Rekord? Ah, ich weiß nicht, dass es in Kilobytes und Terabytes war. Es ist okay. Genom, du bist jung.

02:55:08 Ich weiß nicht, ob mein Doktor agrees mit dem, aber hey.

02:55:14 Okay, so Gascade Falls, that's going to get crowded soon. A center ring like this can easily pull towards Ski Lift, but there are other squads like Dreamfire, like the likes of Outsiders, they're trying to back on some of these houses towards the west. And it's exactly what Legends Gaming is doing, taking the bigger one as soon as possible, right smack dab in the center of the ring here. It's a tough goal actually, you know, you get some teams.

02:55:40 They'll pull over to the left side and take the houses that are closer to the top of the waterfall. And then you'll have other teams that want to sit within Cascade Falls itself. You can see VK Gaming trying to shove their way into one of those buildings right now. They know that it is a little bit like all or nothing. Trying to get into those houses is extremely important. And they're trying to coexist.

02:56:07 Die Outsides, aber ich denke, das ist möglich. Ich denke, das ist so insistent, dass sie versuchen, sie zu bootstern aus, aber VK kann nicht alle die Schöne gehen. Und die Outsides, irgendwie, irgendwie...

02:56:20 Es ist schon mal für heute, aber Dreamfire ist auf es. Sie haben einen Knocks von Afar für so sehr lange. Und sie wollen zu capitalizeisieren und versuchen zu K.P. auf die Board. Es ist NoName zu starten, aber Pete ist bereits auf die Flores. Player K. Snipe von Afar mit der Triple Take. Und es versucht Dreamfire zu re-thinken ihre Plans. Sie müssen sie wegnehmen mit einem Member Lesson starten hier.

02:56:43 Not been a fantastic day for Dreamfire either, has it? I mean, their woes from Split 1 continuing on into their first matchday here, Dax. VK Gaming, they were looking a little bit more promising. They were in 6th place coming into our final game. But then...

02:57:03 mit einem Risky-Play und einem Early-Exit. Es gibt jede Chance, dass sie ein paar Replacements verletzten haben. High-Risk, High-Reward, aber der High-Ground ist hier, von WarmonsterFirebird und das machte die Likes von NoCredits zu bleiben. Sie sind bereits ein Mitglied hier. WarmonsterFirebird kapitalisiertes auf die Pressure, das ist es, als Kano sieht alles.

02:57:28 Heimloch ist mit Gott's work! 2, down! 3, down to his hand! And no credit eliminated! Basically, single-handedly by Slithouten.

02:57:39 Legends looking to put this one beyond doubt. Certainly isn't going into the game with a lead of less than 10 points. Teams absolutely can catch up and surpass them, but they have the chance to put it even further. Now, final dream! Taking a little too much damage there from KPG.

02:58:07 Rough day for them. Yeah, final dream. We're seeing the event in the Challenger Circuit. Their weakness, really, these early ring rotations. Yet again, they lose a member early on. So Boogie Boarders, on the other hand, capitalizing on a few mistakes here and there. Slowly climbing up the charts. They made it to the top 10 before. They're 11 right now. Spike's getting thrown. Dark Vale set up here by Panda 2. And this separates Boogie Boarders from the rest of the Field of Views.

02:58:35 So, jetzt versuchen sie zu sehen, ob sie sich jemanden nebenan kann. Aber Final Dream und KPG bleiben.

02:58:47 Final Dream actually going to get the Respawn. You can see they've smoked it off, but the smoke does not cover the very big shining green beacon that tells every other team in the area what they are doing. No way. Two of them go down, but because they hit the Respawn Beacon first, Moku is actually going to drop in, most likely to deliver a KP directly to Pookie Base.

02:59:15 Ich bin, er liegt auf dem Rock, so er bleibt für jetzt. Das ist nicht der beste Traum. Der Final Dream ist für sicher. Boogie Boer ist hunting, und da geht es. Der Final Dream ist. Du kannst die Green Light nicht auf die Dropship nehmen. Und das ist es, dass sie den Lockern hängen.

02:59:37 Well, Boogie Boarders, there's some very well needed points. I was talking about BK Gaming before, you know, trying to hold on to that sixth spot. As they get the back of KPG, this is a really fortunate timing right now for Boogie Boarders.

02:59:54 Die Advantage von Bearclaw's Push-2. KPG ist es zwischen einem Rock und einem Hardplay-Sandwich. Interessant enough, Boogie Boarders, das ist genug für sie. KP, bit by bit, ist der Call. Veteran-Sie-Win-Titel, talking about Boogie Boarders. Smart Decisions. Slowly climb the charts, and as Bearclaw, do Eliminate Keep-Going Gaming hier.

03:00:18 Look at the position that Boogie Boarders is in. I think from last time we checked, they're now up to 7th place. Not too bad at all. It's a big difference there. Yeah, and you can see, you know, the points from 7th to 5th, if they were just able to get another few points and surpass Serenity, can make a big difference to Axon.

03:00:42 Just those couple of points, it'll grab you an extra couple of split points. And then, you know, maybe that's them just barely making landing. And you've got to remember, Boogie Boarders didn't have a convincing entry into Los Angeles. They didn't have a convincing tournament either. And with their change of roster here, bringing on Killapoz and Farsi moving back to Akuma or over to Akuma, you've really got to hope that they can have...

03:01:11 A better performance than they did in Split 1. It's a bit of a revamp, but I guess the best thing right now for Boogie Boarders is they're just still keeping tabs of competition, not cracking under the pressure of being in that bottom 10. But everyone is now looking at Kill Devil, excited to see where the squad ends the day. The top three effectively all but confirmed. Maybe they can slip to top four if another one of these teams have such a big game. But as of right now, it's already good.

03:01:39 Stage points for them. Wingman in hand. Keeping an eye at this building. Controlled by Killdevil. And this is one of the few instances. They're a lot closer to the rest of the field. Than they usually are.

03:01:55 We haven't really got an answer to where that zone's pulling yet either. I think actually Boogie Boarders honestly might have picked the best spot. Well, we will see. 30 seconds will give us another indication. Boogie Boarders have set up quite a few shield swaps with themselves up in that northern position. Eventually, they'll have to deal with Bearclaw Gaming, who were sitting up in the choke to the northwest of them, numbing him over to the northeast in the buildings.

03:02:20 The other team, obviously we had a look at Kill Devil there, the other one we have to worry about at 60 plus points. They're really the only three teams in the running to win this lobby right now, Dax, is Makers. They're still all the way down in Cedar Station taking their sweet time.

03:02:36 Decks are almost up to red armor for them, as they want to push in. They have of course gone the Ringmaster console Turk on Fuse. That means they'll get the next scan over at Cito. All these other teams are fighting it out very much in the ring. And it's actually pulling down towards outside the Dreamfire in those buildings close to the tunnel. And Legend is slightly in

03:03:01 Und hier geht es bei der Wunderfall. HKUF zu machen, um die Lobby zu machen. Es ist Weibo auf der Opposite End. Und er hat die Purple Army zu arbeiten. Es hat nur die beste Zeit so far, aber vielleicht hier, das Spiel kann es nicht sein. Das ist ein Knopf-Onton-One. Das ist ein Knopf-Onton-One. Das ist ein Knopf-Onton-One. Das ist ein Knopf-Onton-One. Das ist ein Knopf-Onton-One. Das ist ein Knopf-Onton-One. Das ist ein Knopf-Onton-One. Das ist ein Knopf-Onton-One.

03:03:29 Und das ist einfach zu sehen, HKUF zu sehen, zu sehen, HKUF zu sehen, von Weibo zu sehen. Oh, Spiders haben sie gehört. Ja, HKUF Spiders zu sehen. Teeming. Teeming, agreed. Und sie werden mit NumNim, der Team ist auf Weibo-Gaming. Sie haben die Beobachtung, aber beide Teams haben diese Informationen.

03:03:59 Via the Eye of the Allfather.

03:04:04 Even the Allfather saw that from afar. A single nade erasing a blow and anything he had in the shield and health department. That's enough for Numnim to bail out of there. But contrary to Bumperl, I believe Weibo is not going to get up their heights. It's been a safer play for the past few games from Weibo. Not pushing as deep and as much as they would like, but this is what we've been waiting for. Makers now are landing right on top of Dreamfy here. Here we go.

03:04:32 Oh, amazing. Amazing fight win by Makers there. I mean, the use of smokes the way Dexter...

03:04:57 Had enough nades to just push in and actually use the damage ticks from the nades to give him the positioning on the enemies to get the last couple of Havoc bullets in and do the damage. Unfortunately, you know, in that kind of fight, it's almost impossible to do it without losing anybody. He just does go down and they don't have...

03:05:21 A mobile Respawn Beacon for them at the moment. So does that spell the end of their chances to get first in this lobby? Maybe, but top three they'll still be pretty happy with. I mean, they have to share with Fruit Salad now in terms of the housing situation. I do want to say also, all the way offscreen, NumNym returning nades back at Weibo and eliminating them within the top 14, 15 place. So it really hasn't been Weibo's day. Not a good sign.

Legends Gaming dominiert, strategische Einblicke und Teamdynamiken

03:05:50

03:05:50 für eine Potenzial-Back-to-Back-Run, in den Splits, mit Boogie Boarders. Wir haben sie ein paar Mal ein Auge, G-Dom. 11 von dem wir 10 von dem starten. Jetzt sind sie alle in 6 von Top 5. Das ist wirklich sehr schwierig, die wie sie spielen sind.

03:06:09 Gonna be the disguised of Apex South here and become the big game six players to turn their series around. There's a chance they do it here. Obviously, they picked up a few kills already. Bearclaw Gaming. I look kind of scared of them right now, if I'm being honest. They're trying to slip past them into the circle, but I don't think Boogie Boarders will let them do it. Legend Gaming.

03:06:35 Oh, no! Hilldevil had a much harder rotation down to the south. Yeah, they were trying to stay away from the contact.

03:06:47 Warmonster, Firebird und M.D.Y. Aber instead, der Rolling Thunder ist tatsächlich ein bisschen zu nehmen. Es ist noch nicht der Focal Point, aber es ist noch nicht der Focal Point. Es ist eine Chance hier jetzt. Wir bringen einen zurück. Luhan ist auch für seine eigene Push-Kill-Devil. Es ist ein tolles Run, aber wir sind für die Watsons zu versuchen, für Kill-Devil. No Chance jetzt, Kill-Devil. Sie müssen für die Top-3 sein, aber M.D.Y. Black ist der Rallye zu versuchen, und sie versuchen in den Fruitsalad.

03:07:16 Oh, still a commendable effort from Kill Devil. So many teams now being eliminated.

03:07:30 Legends Gaming hold a fantastic spot in the zone and most likely the first place on the leaderboard when all is said and done. I'm in motion looking to go rampant. An easy flash. So too ambitious there gonna get knocked on down but...

03:07:49 It's still Legends, you can just punch him back into cover, and look to go for the res elsewhere. This ring closing on in, and while you see Makers in position within that northern house, there's still a duel. Legends at 3-0 sniping from afar with Player K, and it's their chance here. Slowly reset, bring the shields back to easy flash, and look to find another fight elsewhere.

03:08:13 Nice little reset there, I guess. When you look at how close they are to getting Purples, it makes sense why they're getting aggressive, Dax. Blues and not only, like, it's not only just the fact that you're losing 75 health across the board in your team, it also makes you a target. As soon as they see those blue shields, other teams will want to try and get aggressive on Couples. And it's not the best cover here for Makers, but they're making do with Dax, they're stepping up to the plate.

03:08:42 The Grab Cannon, the only thing keeping bullets away, but eventually it's Makers who will fall. Legends Gaming, first place, is all but secured now, and it's their chance now to rack up even more points. Bearclaw eliminated two, we're down to the top five, but this lobby, this session is Legends to take.

03:09:01 Incredible. Coming in on other teams far superior armors, but because of their immaculate timing and macro getting them into a better spot to start with, Legends are able to convert the third party into purple armors and now they have so much of the zone and a well set up position with an interception pylon here to take the dub. And they do it against the other four squads left alive.

03:09:30 Well, they've got a good chance, they've got an even better chance of being the number one team.

03:09:59 What an amazing way to cap it off that would be. Outside or inside. MDY. Just playing underneath. Trying to hide from the bullets. Peppering in now from Legends Gaming. Hemlock. Hemlock. Nemesis. They've got all of the long range goodness they need to just continually keep up the pressure on the two teams.

03:10:25 ...Left alive on the opposite side of the ring. Look at that cover. I mean... ...So much there. The tree, the rock, the fence. They've got everything they could possibly want, including a devotion in the hands of Easy Flash. Everything has been crafted in favor of Legends Gaming now, and they made these opportunities, especially with the stellar calling we've seen here from Sprayfing Flame, as well as the pushes to go for the third party.

03:10:52 I don't think we're going to see much of an adjustment now on the scoreboard, unless it's outside, who can get some KP going their way here. Push them up from 14th place. And by Black 2, just right under their noses. But this is everything Legends wants and more. Ult Accelerant piece of the hunt at the ready. I mean, Legends, they don't even need to aim. They're literally just firing bullets into the doorway because they have enough to spare with that.

03:11:18 The ultimate comes up for easy flash and no matter what gets put down no matter what smokes come in their way He will have full vision of this final fight and I think legends gaming are gonna do this without a hint of trouble

03:11:35 Legendary performance from Legend Gaming, and that is gonna be it for the day. They cap it off with a victory to Hoots, and it's just perfection, really, especially in the last game. A lot was theirs, a lot was theirs, and now they get a final win. We'll wrap it all up.

03:11:53 And indeed, that was our final game for today in Apex South. So many jaw-clenching moments with our teams really showcasing the reasons as to why they made it to Split 2 in Pro League. But Legends Gaming, Genome, you know, this is exactly why they made it to the playoffs in LA. Really proving it to us again today. Yeah, I mean, I think with some of the problems that Strafing was having, you know, some of the unfortunate issues he had at the start of Split 1.

03:12:22 We really didn't see the best of them until we got closer to land. Then, of course, they come out with an awesome result. That said, you know, they had Poifold, not Easy Flash. You know, in some ways, comparable players in terms of the impact they can have on the game, but not necessarily in the way they play. So it was still, I feel, a bit of a question mark in terms of, you know, how they would go back and adapt in Split 2 running.

03:12:52 ...at Regular 3. And today, if anything, was a statement that it's going to be all gravy here for our team Legends Gaming. And Dax here, right? Make is just absolutely decimating in here. And Genome sort of commented on the Arc Stars being placed so strategically to absolutely clean up in that. But of course, Jax, we can't forget about Kill Devil.

03:13:17 I mean, top 3 finish is not too shabby. Honestly, it's such a big improvement compared to their split one placing. And it really has been this roster revamped and at the ready to go for more. But I do want to tackle what Makers does in these kind of fights. The micro adjustments and just the in-game knowledge to utilize whatever information they can plus the aim that they have. It's always been the standard from the Tom Yum Kong roster. It's good to see them really get picked on up. But I have to go back to what Gina must have been talking about.

03:13:47 The questions have been answered and we got an x-factor especially for today. Player K playing out of his mind, especially in that World's Edge RE45 Showcase. You know, it's really been Legends Gaming firing on all cylinders in all fronts. Yeah, and as you can see, they're sort of sitting really pretty there again in their final match with 12 kills. They just absolutely steamrolled.

03:14:14 The competition, they started out a little bit slower in today's matches and we were a little unsure, you know, if being on the big stage might have made them shake in their boots a little bit more. But here we go, the snowball effect that we love to see by them. They just keep picking it up as each games go by. And that is just a testament to their absolute skill together as a team. I know you and I, Dax, were sort of commenting on a game of World's Edge where Player K really shot.

03:14:43 für die Team und, you know, ich glaube, haben sie geholfen, zwei Teams, weil sie versucht, die Reset zu haben, und das war einfach so unglaublich. Und wieder, MDY sind die 2nd da. Sie haben sich sehr, ich glaube, in dieser ganze Spiel heute in diesem Spiel. Sie sind, you know, einfach über die Top 10 da, und sie sind wirklich gut durch als Team.

03:15:12 Das ist eine große Wünschung von Legends Gaming.

03:15:40 Oh, like, you know, Makers had two wins. Let's not forget that. So that's how they end up in second there with 68. Everyone who doubted them in split one now eating that regretty spaghetti as Kill Devil come up in third place with 61 points. It was a very pop-heavy lobby today, Lace. Yeah, and like, let's touch on Serenity as well. You know, they were...

03:16:08 They're incredible at playoffs in LA. We haven't really spoken too much about them today, but again, an excellent effort from them. Even, I guess, Warmonster Firebird started off very slow at the start of these matches as well, Genome, but seemed to have pulled it together right at the end there. I saw them absolutely decimate, I think it was Kill Devil at the top. They are doing something crazy this time around in Split 2.

03:16:38 Ja, du musst daran erinnern, dass, um, Warmonster5 hat, aber sie hat eine sehr gute Leistung. Ich denke, sie hat sogar einen Lobby-Win in Split-One, an einem Moment. Und sie hat definitiv noch ein Highs. Sie müssen das einfach nur gut auslesen, und finden das Konsistenz hier. Und ich denke, eine andere Sache, dass es mich gefragt ist, ist das ein POI-Draft Diff?

03:17:06 Warmonster Fireword, um, coming in as a very new team, would have struggled to find decent POIs, but now that the field, the level, the playing field has been leveled, are they able to show their true form a little bit more?

03:17:23 Ich persönlich denke, Wormons of Firebird war eine der größten Vorteile von Split No. 1. Sie haben sich hier und dann mit Shark zu haben. Sie haben ein paar Land-Experienz in L.A. mit dem Hybrid-Team. Sie haben mit den Chinesischen-Region. Und als von jetzt, sie bringen diese lessons. Sie haben diese bessere Fights. Und zu den Top 5. Das ist bereits ein gutes Zeichen. Und das ist mit Serenity. Ich möchte auch auf die Scoreboarden schauen.

03:17:51 Ja, Daxon, ich will ein bisschen weiter runter.

03:18:12 Ja, das ist eine sehr gute Frage, Lace. I mean, you know, obviously they're running the same roster that they were, won Apex South in Split 1.

03:18:42 Um, I don't know how much support staff Weibo have behind them. I mean, they don't have a coach listed. And obviously, the teams that have that available to them are gonna have a big advantage here going into Split 2. Because, you know, the amount of macro that you need to keep track of has just like, you know...

03:19:05 Quadruple, Quintuple, Sextuple. Depending on how many different POIs you end up drafting throughout the season. And if we think about what POIs that Weibo went to today, they ended up picking up Pylon, which they already were at, but then they also got Siphon. So you wouldn't have thought that they'd struggled from there.

03:19:29 Yeah, and you know what? It's tough to tell. We are only in our first day of Split 2, so there's going to be some tinkering and things that these teams will sort of need to figure out going into the POI drafts and the massive changes that are ahead of them. But from today's performances, I feel like a lot of teams actually got to shine through because of these changes, having these bigger POIs not gifted to the teams or not having as many contests as we see.

03:19:58 Und ich fühle mich, dass es ein sehr guter Start ist und ein sehr guter Start zu sehen. Aber was wir machen, ist, dass wir uns über die Team die heute dominated. Die Team, die ich weiß, was ich auf der Seite gesehen habe. Und das ist Legends Gaming. Wir bringen sie in und sehen, wie sie fühlen sich nach heute.

03:20:22 Hallo? Hallo? Hallo? Hallo? Ja, es ist mein 12th Tag hier. Können Sie mich? Es ist zu busy, Dusting, auf der Sweat, die Faschen, die sie in heute haben. Sie müssen, um, ein bisschen nachzummen, ein bisschen nachzummen, nachzummen. Ich meine, was das letzte Spiel? 24 Punkte? 12 Placement? 12 KP?

03:20:49 They were right, Lace. They got started. And then they kept going and kept going and kept going. And they weren't even keep going gaming. They were Legends gaming. It's just, how do you even stop a powerhouse right now? Because I kind of want to compare it. Oh, we hear him. Hello, hello. Yo, hello.

03:21:06 Hello, Strafeing. It's so good to have you with us. I'm going to chime in here first because I've been sitting and thinking about this, and I know Dax is probably going to back me up on this, but there was a game on World's Edge where you guys were fighting around, I guess, Survey Camp Rock.

03:21:25 I just saw, obviously, you know, you were there play, but Player K going off on their own to just decimate two teams coming for you guys, trying to get the reset. How do you put so much faith, I guess, in Player K as the anchor, but how does it feel to sit back and just have so much faith in your teammates to be able to do that kind of outshining work?

03:21:49 Ja, ich meine, es fühlt sich wirklich gut, richtig? Wenn du endlich hast eine Team, die alle an der Champions-Level sind, alle Spieler, die sie gewinnen können, ist es sehr einfach zu spielen und glauben, sie zu tun, was sie müssen.

03:22:03 Yeah, no, that is exactly right. And, you know, Genome and I sort of watched you guys at LA and, you know, absolutely do an excellent job. Have you brought, I guess, much of that back into today's games? Have you, I guess, taken from the stage and, I guess, really revamped something to be able to perform the way you did today?

03:22:27 Yeah, absolutely. We worked on, I guess, the things that my coach, like Neil, has been focusing on for the last few months, and we've just kind of tunneled down on that, and that's been really, really helpful for our consistency as a team. Yeah, look, we have to get your opinion on some of the POI draft stuff that's been going on, strafing, right? Obviously, it's been one of the biggest changes to Apex Competitive in general. I want to hear your thoughts.

03:22:56 um about how you guys approached it this week obviously you've gone for cito station which uh uh you know you guys are very familiar with um apart from the fact that you can you know you no longer get uh you can you can't steal cenote's car um and then of course uh you have to go for geyser so can you walk us through both of those decisions uh and how this is all played out for you in this new poi draft system

03:23:20 Ja, so I think it's been really interesting to play. Obviously, it's a lot of adapting, right? But I think objectively, we would be sort of playing worse just because we're having to adjust to everything else, but because everyone else is also having to adjust, we actually end up just getting a pretty big buff here because no one else really understands how to play the game.

03:23:44 We just got ourselves a Twitter clip there from that!

03:24:07 Ja, ja, ja. Ich habe noch etwas zu sagen. Ja, ja, ja. Ich habe noch etwas zu sagen. Ich glaube, jetzt haben wir die EZ Flash zurück. Ich glaube, mein Frage ist, wie ihr euch re-adjustiert habt. Obviamente, ihr habt super gut gemacht. Ihr habt die ganze Zeit. Aber ich glaube, mein Frage ist, was ihr habt?

03:24:34 Ja, es ist einfach ein Synergy und Kommunikation. Und da gibt es eine slight Lange-Barriere, dass wir mit der Z-Flash ein bisschen harder haben, als es zu sein. Aber wir arbeiten durch das, ironing out all die Probleme, und wir sind sehr confidente jetzt, weil wir alle all-in committed sind.

03:25:02 We're wanting to really take home the trophy this year, and preferably all three of them. I mean, yeah, I'd love to see it happen. It'd make me very happy. I want to throw in one more question there, Strafing, about your playstyle. So, you know, you guys have been very, you know, lovers of Watson, especially, you know, PlayOK, picking that up throughout the years.

03:25:28 Um, but now with the different POIs, the, the space you find yourself in, uh, within APAC South today, you guys were fragging out, right? Like you, you were playing like, um, you know, you were such an aggressive team, but obviously you've got this comp that is also somewhat geared towards being quite defensive. Um, how do you kind of juggle those and have a day like today where you have like multiple, like 10 plus kill games, um, and just ball out with a defensive character?

03:25:58 Yeah, we just focus mainly on our timings and our fundamentals. And when you reach a high enough level in those, the comp differences are very minor. Obviously in Caustic Meta, we couldn't really do that as much, but when everyone else is running Watson as well, they don't really have barrels, they don't have Caustic Gold. There's no one-hit alt and then it just kills all of us. And we also have Watson Gen.

03:26:25 Es ist ein ganz einfaches Spiel, ich würde sagen. Jetzt ist es mehr einfach nur Gun Skill und einfach Teamfighting Skill. Und ja, natürlich werden wir alle anderen rollen. Und wir wissen, du bist gut an das.

03:26:41 Exactly. Thank you so much, Strafing Flame. It's been an absolute pleasure watching you today. I was going to say I was a little bit worried for you right at the first couple of games, but you got it together. But did you have any shout-outs you'd like to make?

03:26:57 Shoutout to my gym buddy. He really wants that one. This guy called Andre. He's actually stopped going to the gym with me since like four or five months ago. 12 horses couldn't drag him to the gym. It's wild. He just knows that you've got to practice some Apex. He's been called out on stream. He has to come back to the gym. You can clip it.

03:27:23 Und sende es zu ihm und sagen wir sind wieder zurückgegangen. Ja. Danke so sehr, es ist ein absoluter PLEASURE.

03:27:32 Yeah, I mean, he really led from the front.

03:28:01 Ja, und dann starte mit Nummer 3!

03:28:30 Es geht weiter und weiter für Legends Gaming. Ich muss sagen, Strafingflame hat so viel besser, besonders in der eigenen individuellen Skill. Starting von L.A. Land, jetzt geht es weiter. Leading von der Front und Legends Gaming, die Scoreboard sagt es, es ist einfach nur sie in der Kontrolle so far, wie Apaxout ist.

03:28:53 Yeah, and I guess, you know, we'll take a closer look at exactly what happened today over our six matches as we head on over to the scoreboard. And we can see exactly where, I guess, all these teams sort of started and how they worked their way up. We had Groups A versus B today, Genome, and they just came out of the cannon.

03:29:13 Absolutely incredible from them all to see, you know, I guess Legends Gaming do exactly what we know they can do. And Makers and Kill Devil shining through today as well. Yeah, I mean, two of those three, I'm sure a lot of people would have expected to see up there. But that third name is a little bit of a surprise. And you know what? Makers are doing excellent. You've got 21 points from them. And yeah, Kill Devil just on AT. Will it be?

03:29:41 Their first time, well not both of them.

03:30:09 Ich habe gesagt, in der Kast, es scheint, dass viele dieser Teams, oder die meisten dieser Teams haben wirklich studiert, wie Weibo Gaming liefst, wie sie ihre Fights liefst. Und sie haben wirklich beantwärt, dass das Tape und wirklich die Knochen auf Weibo auf Weibo in mehreren Waren, hier.

03:30:25 Yeah, just really surprising for them today, Dax. Like, we usually see them just as the frontrunners. But, you know, we are only day number one. They still have, you know, a lot of time to sort of take back what they did today and, I guess, adapt. Not only are they adapting, you know, to today's games, the new POI drafts as well. A lot of these teams are coming into this, you know, it's so new for them. They've got a lot to sort of learn going into, I guess, even the games tomorrow.

03:30:54 So, some of these teams, you know, will probably really outshine tomorrow and some, obviously, we're going to have a new group come through. They're going to be learning against, I guess, a stack of teams that have already done a little bit of, you know, I guess, exceptions to these POI drafts.

03:31:17 Ich meine, genau. Tomorrow ist ein neues Day und neue Drafts. Every single Session we do here, guys, we're gonna get new Dropspots for all these teams. I'm excited to see what Group C will bring. You have X and Y there, you have Virtus Pro there. You know that those teams are gonna look to impress the lobbies, too. So even though tomorrow's gonna be a longer day, you know it's gonna be even better with the amount of games and teams we're gonna have.

03:31:40 Yeah, so Gino, you know, we've obviously got some heavy-hitting teams coming through. I'm very excited to see Virtuous Pro, another team that, you know, followed us to the playoffs and did an incredible job over there. Are there any exciting teams that you're going to be excited to see? Oh, there's a bunch. I mean, heroes, you know, overperforming at LAN. You've got Akuma. Let's see what they look like with Fussy. XNY almost made LAN last time. Honestly, have a good chance to do it here in Split 2. Lightning Unicorn just qualified for EWC in electric form.

03:32:09 This is going to be a great set of teams to watch tomorrow, Lays.

03:32:13 That's it. And as we get ourselves organised for tomorrow, a big thank you to everybody for the production today. And again, Genome and Dax again for joining me. What an exceptional day we have had so far. Don't worry, everybody. We will be back tomorrow the same time to give you some matches. And we're not doing six, guys. We're going to be doing 12. So you're going to have a lot more Apex action here from the Longshot production. But a big thank you to everybody for joining us today. And again,

03:32:43 Thank you to Play Apex Channel for showcasing our wonderful Apex South Region. My name has been Lace. I've been your host for this evening and I can't wait to see you guys tomorrow. So make sure you get yourself some beautiful sleep and we will see you then.
