ALGS Year 5 Split 2 Pro League: Match Day 5 Americas Group A vs C – Einführung und Meta-Analyse
00:11:41
00:11:41 Das heißt, wir sind jetzt hier zu finden, wer ist der beste von den besten in Apex Legends. Es ist ein Minute, zwei Wochen, seit wir haben das letzte Mal, und das heißt, wir sind jetzt hier zu finden, wer hat die Momentum gewonnen, wer hat es, und wenn diese Roster-Swappen, und vielleicht mehr importantly, Patch-Note-Changes, haben, was die Räste für 1st-Place in EMEA ist. Das ist alles zu finden hier und mehr in heute's Saturday Action, bevor wir in Nordamerika wiederholen. So sit back, relax, grab your coffee...
00:12:10 Grab your water, grab a bagel, whatever you want to eat. We're here. I'm excited. Let's go. And I'm not alone, by the way. I'm your host, Rain Day, but I've got two of the best commentators in the ALGS to join me for this day's action. Of course, Vicky Kitty and Jamerson here on the mic. Vicky, how are you doing this Saturday? I'm doing fantastic, Rain Day. We got some changes going into today, and I cannot wait to talk about the action between you and Jamerson because it's going to be a lot to unfold.
00:12:37 Ja, Jamerson, obviously we're on the desk a lot. We were finding ways to discuss the minutia of what's occurred between these players and really bring that to the forefront for our audience. But there's not a lot of minutia now. There's some major changes that have happened over these past two weeks. Players are going to have to get to learning fast. Yeah, it's been an incredible split. I mean, there's been so many changes like you had mentioned. We had a patch in the last two weeks since then. And so a lot of these teams are still adjusting and really trying to figure out this meta. I think we have a handhold on it.
00:13:06 But there's still so much to come.
00:13:08 Well, with that, we'd like to introduce the show topic for the day. We work on this throughout the week to kind of set the tone for what this broadcast might look like for you at home. Today's show is called Embracing the Change. We want to find ways to see which team is navigating these changes from a roster perspective, from a character perspective, a map perspective, starting on Storm Point again. We haven't done that since Match Day 1 and how they can get through it and what does that mean for the rest of the season and for teams who are going to be playing.
00:13:38 So all of that to say, a lot to talk about, and we'll be keeping an eye on that. But if we look forward, we kind of have to also look back to set the stage of what occurred before this patch got hit, guys. And of course, that would be match day five. Now this one, if you notice a lot of PKs, well...
00:14:01 Trust me, your eyes aren't wrong. It's not a replay. This is just the meta at this point. PKs are going to be seen in every single one of these final circles. Just like last week, where Alliance and FaZe, Synetic popped off in an early game one. Synetic with the slide, the maneuver, and the clutch. It's got to feel good for FaZe playing. Tons of potential there.
00:14:21 Can Mags and Sinetic find their rhythm together? I'm really excited to see how they improve. Endorse, speaking of a team that's improved, they did great on this match day, but they wouldn't be up to the task to deal with Henchman from above with a Kostak Ultimate in hand, no less, and a PK aimed straight onto Phoenix. Crawl, Duck, Dash, Dive, Dodge, and Duck. You can't get away from that PK with Henchman on top of it. Yet again, go next. The team's been so good. Probably the second best.
00:14:50 In EMEA, maybe getting close to a top contender in the world behind Alliance, finding themselves against Alliance as the circle gets smaller and smaller. Alliance played a waiting game, but unfortunately that's not the game that pays dividends. Go next, leave one up top, send two down below, and that takes them the win in match number three, Vicky.
00:15:08 Ja, du sagst Allianz, Allianz also immer wieder finden sich hier in einem besseren Position auf World's Edge. Und du sagst auch die PKs, die nicht stoppen hier. Du hast es nicht nur in deinen Rang-Games gefunden, denn es ist nicht nur in deinen Rang-Games. Du hast diese Weapon auf dem Helm des Meta. Allianz ablehört auf Height auf der Nordseite von Epicenter. Es war nur ein Zeitpunkt, bevor sie auch ablehört Game 4 war. Und das war die 12K-Key, übrigens. Und dann geht's auf Game 5, es war ein bisschen anders. Es war Epicenter.
00:15:36 WLK here playing the Rampart Newcastle and Pathfinder composition. Talk about patient play, but also how the Newcastle comes in clutch in some of these later matches if the Newcastle hasn't been banned out already. Not even the Spirit Ultimate can save you when you're already low and you get two tapped by a PK. Until the very end though.
00:15:55 Wir hatten dieses crazy 1v1 zwischen Allianz und Navi. Es ist Hockies auf der Pathfinder und sogar mit Slab sehr low. Look at das amazing Patient Play. Ich meine, es ist wirklich die Cherry auf dem Top zu enden Matchday No. 5. Aber auch mit Hockies Pain, das Slow ist, auch mit dem Health Advantage. Look at das wie du Spiel auf das Knockdown Shield spielen. Der Catalyst kommt in Clutch und Navi zu nehmen das DUB für das letzte Spiel mit AKP.
00:16:20 Obviously, Navi trying to get back up onto the podium. Winning that 1v1 should give them, even though they didn't get a top five in terms of points, a little bit of top five in terms of mentality that they can still go toe-to-toe against the best currently in EMEA. Alliance go next, endorse FUL and NVMI having a day. We'll talk a little bit more about our Decky and 9 Impulse's reunion there with Kazakh splitting the trio. But Jamerson go next, a team we don't...
00:16:47 Ja, Allianz sind in 1st place, aber das sind vier Matchdays für sie. Das ist die 4th Matchday.
00:17:00 You can't feel bad about the fact that they got second. So consistent, such a high performance.
00:17:23 Any other team would swap spots with them, maybe except Alliance. So go next year, have a rare opportunity to take advantage of the moment Alliance, the giant of EMEA, is sleeping. But let's take a look at what has happened in these past two weeks. We watched those games, but like we said, things have shifted. And in one way, you're going to notice that the numbers have shifted. You land into a lobby with 20 teams in Apex.
00:17:46 But now it's going to be 19 because Sha-La-La have disbanded. No longer can we sing Sha-La-La and get into our dance party here. It's unfortunate, but it does mean that with the small sin from Ron, from Evos to Ronan, Tyler FBS goes to Sha-La-La and Kay Swinney goes from player, historic player, to coach. Vicky, that is a team with a lot of experience under their belt.
00:18:10 Yeah, you talk about the importance of having a coach and an analyst right now when there's legend bands, different maps in the rotation, constantly shifting every single weekend. And that is so important to have somebody at the helm of helping out your team and dissecting what you want to lean into for your strength. And what better way than having veterans on your team to be able to make up for that?
00:18:30 Yeah, if you tallied the amount of money earned, the amount of lands that they've been to, the amount of games they've played in the Pro League, it's probably competing with most top 10 teams out there in the world in terms of overall hours, experience, and cash grab. That's a crazy squad. Excited to see them today. But what they'll be playing is also a lot of the conversation. There's, you know, sometimes that we see certain legends continue to be involved in similar ways. Catalyst kind of stays relevant here and there.
00:18:59 Bangalore, obviously, has been a part of that. But Gibby, no significant changes. Yet, the big boy, the man who needs a passive to take less damage because his hitbox is so big in this game, has now come back into the meta with flying colors, Jamerson. Yeah, and it was match day two. That amazing three-map run by VP when we did swap over to Stormpoint that really showed the strength of the Gibraltar, but really came down to just how to play the meta from VP.
Strategische Teamzusammensetzungen und Kartenrotationen in der ALGS
00:19:26
00:19:26 So we had 9 teams running a variant of the New Castle and...
00:19:51 Die drei Teams, Allianz und Doris, mit Roadhouse und Röderhause haben, das ist keine Überraschung, denn die drei Teams haben, natürlich, Draft für ein Trident und man sieht es sofort für Roadhouse. Und ich denke, das ist eine große Herausforderung für Roadhouse. Das ist eine große Herausforderung für Roadhouse, um zu spielen, oder zu spielen mit dem Newcastle, aber der Gibraltar für sie auf Stormpoint war, war großartig. Again, man muss von Position zu Position sein, das ist extrem safe mit der Gibraltar Dome.
00:20:20 The next time you get into another position, you just wait out the cooldown. If you get into trouble, you have the fail-saves of the Newcastle wall along with the Rampart walls to keep you safe. And again, it's just about biding time. For Rodas here, they try to go deep into the zone. Of course, they had to rotate early into Barometer coming out from Mill. So they didn't have the time to really try and get the Blues. So they had to take this mid-game in a very safe way. You can see as they work their way out in.
00:20:46 Es ist wieder über Leipfrocken, deine Position zu setzen und für deine Cooldowns. Und ich denke, das ist das ein vieles Wettbewerb für deine Cooldowns ist. Ultimately, für Roadhouse, Alliance und Endorse. Ich glaube, Endorse endet auf 5.0 hier, weil sie zwischen Alliance und Roadhouse sind. Aber du kannst es wieder sehen, es ist wieder über die Zeit.
00:21:08 Das war so gut für Roadhouse, denn das letzte Mal mit der Newcastle in Deutschland war es so eine gute Sache.
00:21:36 Still running the Rampart, still running the Gibraltar Alliance. Notably, make the swap off onto the Pathfinder. And we see how crucial it is for them going into map number five. They have that rotate down to Barometer once again, coming all the way from the north side of the map. But because they have this Pathfinder, this time on Hakus, even though traditionally it's been either effective or lucky to pick that one up.
00:22:00 Allianz, slow play things like they love to on the edge. They're not gonna find the fights that they usually like to, but they're able to hit the map scans, they're able to hit the survey beacons, they're able to hit the reset bins, and of course get themselves up into full loot in time for the fights at the end of the game. Allianz, we know what they do when they're able to slow play their way into the late game. Again, that bubble transition into the center of Barometer just helps out Allianz immensely.
00:22:29 Und sie waren able zu tun, ich denke, mit ENDORSE zu spielen, excuse me, Roadhouse zu spielen, eine Natural Counter auf der anderen Seite. Sie nicht opt für den Pathfinder und, excuse me, Roadhouse zu enden opten für den Mad Maggie. Sie sind in der ersten Zeit. Allianz, die Leute wissen, wie sie das ausziehen können, sie einfach nicht zu machen. Und so, wir sehen uns beide Teams für Roadhouse. Just vor dieser Halte, sie hatten, ich glaube, eine win mit 17 oder 19 killpointen Spiel.
00:22:57 Und jetzt haben wir noch einen zweiten, einen zweiten, einen zweiten und einen dritten für sie. Und wir haben nicht den Screen for it, aber für Endors, das war die andere Team, die wir auf dem Swap übernommen haben.
00:23:21 Und Dors ended up with a fifth, a sixth, and a second place on Stormpoint. And that Gibraltar came in huge for them to be able to get those consistent placement points. You know, what's great about that is you could kind of sum it up in the fact that Gibby is giving these teams a unique power that they haven't had in a while. Especially with the fact, Jamerson, that...
00:23:42 When you consider Gibby hasn't had any changes, it's really kind of this comedy of errors that's allowed him to be so successful with the PK being such a good weapon and shields and more and more shields.
00:23:53 Vicky, you gave the highlight of Hockey's trying to zipline onto Slab. He does the PK shot, he hits three shields. That's what happens when you have three shield characters. It's hard to hit your shots, but it also works really well to have protection while you have a PK, which Slab used against Hockey's. Whether we see Gibby doesn't mean it's going to be the end, because with this new patch, we've seen Mad Maggie get a huge buff. We've seen Seer get a major buff, Vicky. All of those things potentially change us to look out for.
00:24:22 as we head into games today. Yeah, and then you talk about Gibby and you talk about the PK. Let's also not forget that Gibby's got that perk that allows him to really get more done with that shotgun. So it goes hand in hand, but then you also look at what has changed. And although Gibby hasn't been within that realm of conversation.
00:24:38 Yeah, we have changes to Mad Maggie and we have changes to Seer. And I think that also begs the question, which of these teams will lean into those changes depending on what maps we'll be starting off with here and which of these teams find those strengths with either Seer or Sparrow.
00:24:53 Yeah, it's such an interesting thing. We could talk a lot about this. I'll bring that up maybe later on if we have some time on how changes get made, how changes get decided by pro players, how they stick with something or how they experiment. But overall, I want to take a look at what the experiment has led to thus far in this league, right? Every team deciding how they're going to play it. Well, this is how it's landed. Alliance up on top again. You just got to give it to them. I call them the giants in EMEA. There needs to be a David that is going to slay them if they are ever to.
00:25:22 They finally have a match day here without Alliance involved. So can they take advantage and grab the 25 points that they are looking for? And speaking of that, let's narrow in now to the lobby they'll be facing. All the way from Citadel Gaming down to Take Flight. Teams that have done well, but maybe are looking for their breakout moment. Teams that need to keep improving if they want to have a chance at not only Split 2, but Reach 4.
00:25:52 Das ist das Wichtigste für mich, wenn ich mich an das, es ist N-V-M-I. Hardecki und 9 Impulses Reunion, nach den Firebeavers zu kommen.
00:26:09 Sie haben sich zusammengefasst so gut, wie Puzzle-Pieces, die sich für einen anderen für eine lange Zeit haben. Literally, es ist die Fakt, dass sie wirklich auf die Welt gezeigt haben, mehr als alles, während Matchday 3. Weil hier, sie kamen durch, nicht nur mit consistentem Placement,
00:26:24 But their call on zone positioning and when to take fights, I think needs to be studied extensively. Like this clip doesn't even do justice what they were able to do behind them to make sure that their backs were cleared. And basically they made this playing field and put it into their advantage because they knew the teams right below them were forced to collapse on one another. And it was like Thanksgiving came early for them because all they had to do was walk in and clean up the remnants of a third party opportunity for them that was inevitable as the teams below them knew that they were unable.
00:26:53 mit Nvmi in eine bessere Position.
00:27:20 für sie zu also carry over zu, was sie werden sehen für den nächsten Matchdayen. Für mich, Match 2 und Match 6, ja, die Wins sind, aber die Kills, die Wins sind, die Wins sind, das sind große, große Spiel. Und ich denke, das ist ein tolles Zeichen für ein Team, das eine Chance hat.
00:27:34 To make it here, especially now with Alliance out of the lobby. Well, if you guys want to check out any of these teams we've mentioned to highlight before the game gets started or during these games at any point, remember, we've got Face It Watch on deck. It's your friend in Multiview. Whether you want to see NVMI and Hardecki get some of those clutch plays, maybe another 10 plus kill win, or maybe you want to focus on who we were talking about a little bit earlier, go next and see if they've got what it takes to go to the top spot in Europe.
00:28:04 Eclipse Alliance. All of that can be controlled here. Open up multiple tabs. Throw the map tab up as well to see every rotate, every team comm, and every fight. Watch the ALGS your way at faceit.com slash watch. Of course, if you want to stay involved with us as well, make sure to follow us on socials at Play Apex Esports, on our X, our YouTube, our Twitter, and Newly Art.
00:28:25 oder, excuse me, our TikTok and our Instagram, which are both new, and of course on Twitch here at twitch.tv slash playapex. And most importantly, guys, this sets up for what we have next, which are the games. It's always exciting. We do this little prelude and everyone says, let's get into it. We feel the same way because this meta has brought a lot of new differences, but I want to kind of levy this point while we have a little time, guys. Vicky, I'll leave you to start.
Meta-Entwicklung und Teamstrategien in der ALGS Pro League
00:28:51
00:28:51 How do you think these metas get started? Because for me, when I look at Gibby not actually having any changes, but the PK changing, I mean, that just looks like to me, there are these little cross changes that can allow a character, maybe there's Mirage. I mean, what characters are lying in wait that with the right gun tweak, with the right little adjustment to the meta, can actually be coming in? Or do you think that this was just Gibby's moment all along?
00:29:16 I think it has to do with the map rotation starting off anything, because obviously depending on which map we start off first, it will also open up the opportunity for certain legends to not be banned yet. Since we are starting off on Stormpoint for the first three games, Jamerson and I were all talking about which, you know, when was the last time we saw Stormpoint in rotation to start things off? It's been since match day one. And now with these changes and Jamerson's point with Gibby and helping out a lot of these rotations, we know Alliance likes to play objectives. This is where they like to shine. Then you add that together with their...
00:29:45 wie sie lieben, Tridents und andere Teams, die zu folgen, in der Kapitalisierung auf das ist. Ich denke, das öffnet sich nicht nur an, was wir bereits gesehen haben, mit der PK für kleine Dinge, wie was Gibby relates zu, mit der Perk, als Mad Maggie, ich kenne sie die Warden, für ein Grund, mit der PK selbst. Es kann sein Lethal, und es hilft auch die verschiedenen Characke, in allowing diese Teams zu trainieren, was sie fühlen, was sie ist der Strength. Denn dann, wenn du Rampart, wie wir sah, in den Clipsen, und natürlich in El...
00:30:14 LMG is another form of conversation, whether you want to look at maybe a spitfire that's been popping off here, too. Well, there's so many great conversations. I know you guys are going to have a blast of a first cast here. And speaking of it, the game and the lobby seem to be ready to go. So without further ado, let's send it over to Vicky Kitty and Jamerson to kick off our LGS Match Day number six.
00:30:36 Oh, thank you so much, Randy. It is thundering, by the way, right now, Jamerson. And it was like right on cue, as Randy said. Let us kick off the day. I mean, I can't frame it any better than that. That's a good sign. As we go on to Storm Point, living up to its name, it seems, as we look at the POI draft for today, Jamerson, for Groups B versus C. Yeah, like you said, a storm is a brewing here on Storm Point. One thing I do want to note, I mean, I did, of course, highlight Roadhouse, picking up that Gibraltar composition for themselves. But like you had mentioned,
00:31:05 This is the first three. This is typically where we'll see the Caustic and the Watson and the Alter Band. But for Roadhouse themselves, they don't even have a Trident actually coming out from Checkpoint there. So we might see something different out of them. I haven't been able to watch scrims. I don't know how the teams have been playing this one. So this is going to be an interesting thing for them. But we do have teams like Navi, Onyx, Pot, all on the outer edges there, all that do have Tridents.
00:31:35 So I do want to keep an eye on the one on what the compositions are going to be Interestingly enough one thing I do want to note go next are going to be picking up the Gibraltar and the new cast for themselves along with that classic and so they're opting away from their old style that we have been seeing which has been a crypto core for that composition They have been using the crypto I think since like day one and so they even see the strength of that
00:32:04 Ich glaube, es ist auch so interessant, als wir über all diese Legend-Compositions sprechen, und die Changes, die wir gesehen haben, und wie es das affected...
00:32:29 Das Problem ist, ich habe immer gesagt, dass er ein 18...
00:32:37 So 95% of this lobby is running Caustic right now. So he will be the first legend out of the six match series for now as we take a look at where that zone is going to be pulling. And it's going to be a Stormcatcher zone. So Nam are actually going to be able to feast off of that as they do have a ring console and even an evil harvester to their self. And once again, I do also want to remind you guys at home watching, if you're wondering why we're missing a slot, Shalalala did disband. So this is going to be a 19 team lobby.
Frühe Spielaktionen und strategische Rotationen auf Stormpoint
00:33:03
00:33:03 Yeah, so like you had mentioned, that Stormcatcher pull, this is actually going to be pretty nice for teams like Ondogs, Onik, along with Go Next, right? We know that there isn't sometimes enough playable ground, but you can make it yourself. You can utilize a lot of these mountain ranges around Stormcatcher for yourself. You kind of pin yourself in with that Trident, indestructible cover, throw down the new castle walls, and then keep yourself relatively safe. For the teams with the Gibraltar, they're going to be able
00:33:33 Das ist das Rampart-Wall, aber es sieht aus wie wir haben, wir haben hier in Stormcatcher.
00:34:00 Oh, my. I mean, the action already starting off off the rip. This is a pretty big pileup that we're already seeing over on the south side of Stormcatcher. And what's scary here is that if you are one of the teams with this new castle, if you don't really have the ability to bunker down, like thinking about Ronan, who are running the Sparrow, Alter, and really the Caustic, you're kind of going to be out in the open here. It can be a little scary. Yes, you can utilize the hills and the rocks to get some cover. But with the Evil Harvester being to the south side, a lot of these teams that do have the cover from the new castle
00:34:29 kann eigentlich prevent other squads and deny them the opportunity from being able to get that Evil Harvester. There it is. We got to see it real quickly there, Ralph from Onik. As soon as they take a shot, you throw down that dome, you move on in. Importantly as well, right? You can utilize the boost from the Tridents to make so much ground. And again, you utilize both the dome along with the mobile shield, and you just wait out the cooldown of the boost. I think with the dome and with the new castle,
00:34:58 um mobile shield and then a few seconds later you'll have another boost ready which i think is what they're doing they're just stopping off to fill up the tank get some gas and then they're gonna be moving
00:35:09 I like the slow approach, too, because they're also pinging around to make sure they want to call out what Rotate they want to take, because they do not want to get called out like this, as the timing on the bubble couldn't be any better here, as Uchaku had taken a lot of damage. Hierarka had just lost out on the shield, and Slab is going to pause real quick to pop this shield cell. The action's been non-stop, but over by that choke that Navi find themselves in. They were getting gatekept, I believe, by Citadel, who were looking at them originally, because the majority of these teams have already found themselves on the edge of this next zone.
00:35:53 Now with Pot now moving up here full blue evo shields one of the teams with the altar which I have to know altar being the second most picked legend it doesn't matter whether you're a world's edge whether you're on e-district even on a map like storm point just how important having a void nexus is too that could be active at the same time that could basically cover two po is you can hear it in my voice just the way that ultra has been played and unchanged has just been on another level and helping out a lot of these teams here
00:36:21 So a lot of these teams have to forcibly rotate from the south side of Ring 1.
00:36:48 We are going to be able to try to either go through Launchpad to get that information to play objective as I think the only evil harvester in that south side is either going through Pylon or committing to rotate over to the no-name buildings outside of Launchpad.
00:37:01 We see a lot more poke pressure now coming down from Citadel Gaming with the G7 and the Peacekeeper weapon loadout. But I like the way that Citadel are playing this. They're going to be able to try to gatekeep these other teams. I'm wondering though if they were able to get that circle information as I'm not really seeing it on their mini-map as they make their next move. But at least with the Evil Harvester up ahead and being able to get some poke pressure in, they could be able to try to take a lot more of an aggressive fight, Jameson. Yeah, but I think, you know, for a lot of these teams, they're just poking and prodding again.
00:37:30 Mit den Weaponsen jetzt arbeiten, werden die BIN gesetzt werden können. Wir wissen, dass viele G7-G7-G7 in der Lobby sind, dass man sich dann einfach nur durch die 3-2-1-G7-G7-G7-G7-G7-G7-G7-G7-G7-G7-G7-G7
00:38:00 Ja, das ist sehr awkward.
00:38:30 This kind of 14 pilot, but I think all the teams have the same idea, right? Get that information for yourself, Navi, hit that scan, and they're instantly out of there. They're going to move up to the north. For Citadel Gaming, I think they were looking for an opportunity to try and get in there, hit that scan. But for right now, things have slowed down. Cybercats have backed away. Citadel Gaming are going to try and keep the south side of the zone pretty clear for themselves, but again, don't see how many other options they have to move on up.
00:38:58 You can see on the north side of the map right now, NVMI are moving into position. They've got Nameless in their way over at Lightning Rod. Roadhouse playing inside of Command Center. Again, the team that were not able to get a Trident Spawn for themselves, so they do need to play off of a more defendable position. So without that Gibraltar, they are huddling right inside of Command Center. They got SLR on the other side, but...
00:39:22 Currently, about half the lobby inside of the next zone. No surprises here, Vicky. It is going straight into Stormcatcher.
00:39:28 I'm just impressed to see that it's only been like one KP in favor for Citadel with how crazy these pileups have been. Showcases the patient and respectable play that we're seeing, but with the new castle taking a lot of pressure, Empire's Force will drop down and coexist for right now on the low ground. Also allowing for that quick reposition if you need, because there's other teams, once again, that have not left the edge of this zone. As Citadel are now looking at Cybercats, home across Cybercats, trying to play this extremely patiently, but without trying to overcommit. They also want to be able to have the option to back.
00:39:58 Es ist so schwer zu finden, das 3rd-party timing hier zu finden. Sie müssen ein guter Platz finden, mit dem G7-G7-G7-Scout.
00:40:21 Wir haben Rodehouse aus der Kommand-Center jetzt. MVMI hat eine gute Leidenschaft, aber es wird Hardecki, die erste zu fallen hier. Wir werden das erste Nutsch bekommen, als MVMI hat auch eine gute Anzahl aus dem Pressure. Hardecki...
00:40:35 Er hat die R9. Er hat die R9. Er hat die Hitfire Shots. Er hat die Krag. Er hat einen Player One. Aber das wird nicht genug sein. Du hast es auch zu sehen. Akku, voll heil. Und mit der 30-30. Sie nehmen sie aus. Und VMI, ein Team, das wir vorhin in der Show highlighten. Die erste Team zu gehen für Nummer 1.
00:40:55 One thing to note, though, for NBMI, is that this is probably when their composition is weak. They play off of that Sparrow, having so many Cossacks. Hold on just a moment, and Na'Vi get themselves in the middle of a fight. Uchako gonna get that res onto Slav, and now they're back into the thick of things. Ryarka throws down that dome, and it's gonna be an easy cleanup. Na'Vi pick up that plus three. That's gonna be SLR falling. We are now down to 17 squads, but as I was saying, Big E...
00:41:22 This is the hardest point of the game for any team that's trying to run that Sparrow core, right? Now that the Caustic Gas does cut down on that mobility, a lot of times your Fracker is going to be on that Sparrow. Now that he doesn't have the double jumps when he's in the middle of the Gas, it's incredibly hard to fight. So you do have to be careful here. But I think moving forward, MDMI will have things a little bit easier once the Stinky Boy is gone.
00:41:45 Ja, es ist wie ein Schlapp in der face mit einem Slowwall, aber es ist einfach nur ein Passing Cloud, hier, dass du einfach nur mit einem Pink Eye gehst. Aber mit der PK, es ist alles aber peaceful, hier, als Empire Gaming...
00:41:57 Das ist eine miscalculation von Empire.
00:42:27 zu hören.
00:42:27 Das ist der Nucastel. Das ist der Nucastel.
00:42:57 Geht eliminatet.
00:43:24 Wow.
00:43:40 Kyler finds one. It's down to the 1v1. Never mind. SJP2 end up getting cleared out here and CyberCats survive. They still have Empire rotating around on the edges. Zone closing in. I don't know if they're going to be able to fully recover here. Citadel gaming in the middle of the fight as CyberCats will end up going down. But here's a slide in from Zuni, Vicky. Look at Zuni's weapon loadout too. Gold PK. Graber shot in hand. And another team they have cleared out. Look at the amount of...
00:44:08 Caustic Gas Traps that are set up here in this corner, uncontested, while they still prevent other teams from being able to secure any evil Harvester if they do not already find themselves in purple. They have plenty of shots left on that as well. Empire creeping on up. The Citadel Gaming half spot in the mouth, the ping's out, and Zuni's gonna instantly get into position for this one. They have so much utility. Back this one up too. Here's the line of the 128.
00:44:36 Citadel Game, he smelled blood in the water.
00:44:38 Ich denke, es ist ein großer Charakter wie Kossack, ein großer Typ aus hier mit dem Tuff-Guy. Zuni ist jetzt noch für einen Schaden, aber dann haben wir ihn zu stellen. All right, Zuni, sind Sie ihn? Können Sie ihn in eine bessere Position? Sie müssen die Newcastle-Walls, die Leidenschaft, und die Möglichkeit für andere Teams zu gehen, während Citadel Gaming sind jetzt nur zu einem nur einen, mit Remix nicht klatschen. Instead, es wird Empire, die auf die Highbrimte auf den Highbrimten, und jetzt die Third-Party von Legion Gaming. Christmas kann nicht kommen.
00:45:08 Das bringt uns jetzt zu neigen Quatschern.
00:45:34 So Legion Gaming, how do they navigate this one? They don't have full information, but they will start creeping their way back on up. Luckily for them, Na'Vi haven't spotted them quite yet. Ring pulling all the way on over to the eastern side. Take Flight, Ronin and VCGO are in position. Notably, Onik are there on the north side. Again, one of our teams that are running the Gibraltars. So his ultimate might come into play here massively in the late game.
00:46:01 Oh, der Altar für eine Zone wie dieser, wie das, geht so hart. Ja, die Zone ist weg von Stormcatcher direkt. Es wird ein Bloodbath sein, wenn du nicht einer der Team auf dem Eastern Lot bist.
00:46:15 from Stormcatcher, because there is so much open ground, even if you got these new casuals, even if you try to cover yourself with the amount of stinky caustic traps you could put down, it's not gonna be enough makeshift cover to go into the safety of where this next zone is. That's why you have Ronin playing on the edge of that next zone, a very good call to play by the fence line, but even then, it could be really risky with the other teams that are gonna try to force their way into that next zone, and Roadhouse, being a team that's a duo now, have to try to play this slowly with the team playing right above them while still being
00:46:44 Das ist die ganze Zeit, der B.C. Go.
00:46:51 Blast, though, does have that Nox Gas Grenade to utilize it. They end up getting pushed. Honestly, at this point, they are just trying to wait things out. They're so close to hitting that top five. Roadhouse, since they made this compositional swap, right, they were not running the Newcastle before they saw this up until match day number four, I believe, is where we finally got to see them make the swap. They were running some things that were a little bit more aggressive. I think they might have been a Sparrow Corps before this one, but now, again,
00:47:20 Sie werden das Newcastle nutzen können. Sie haben sehr gut gemacht. Wir haben sie auf einen Aufwärtsswingen. Wir haben auch von Luke gehört, dass das Team ist, dass das Team noch immer wieder zu kennen. Sie sind einfach besser und besser. Und das, wie es so hoch ist für die Squad. Nambo, die Lose auf der Caustic zu verlieren. Offren, die High-Ground hier hat. Sie haben zu bemerken, Sampe für Legion.
00:47:43 Wir sehen uns, dass die Eastern-Edge ist, dass die Ring-Full ist. Wir haben jetzt drei Teams, die hier auf den Stormcashen stehen. Das ist NAMM, Legion und Nameless.
00:47:57 Sie kommen aus und sie schwingt, literally. Blumenflower, nachdem sie gewonnen hat das Spiel gegen Citadel mit dem 3P, haben jetzt die Gold Peak. Vielleicht haben die Krayberg selbst, als Legion Gaming still hält auf die Highground. Spitfire und Justibloomag manchmal ist all du in der Zone wie dieser, aber es geht aus dieser Rund 5-Zone. Und das ist, wieder mit 8 Squats left, das ist, dass die Bloodbath ist, weil sie dann wird die Bloodbath.
00:48:25 Das ist ein schönes Ding mit den Amps. Mit der Heal Overfall ist, dass du einfach nur auf einen Cell hast, auf einen Springe hast, und man muss mit ihm weitergehen. Sie versuchen diese Mobile Shield zu nutzen. Die Healung wird geöffnet. Sie versuchen ihre Bestes zu verwenden, aber das ist eine Derspannende Angle von Take Flight. Region Gaming ist jetzt auf die Lose. Sie sind in der Ring.
00:48:47 And Legion Gaming will get taken out. Take Fight. Hold on to their position. They've only got a solo right outside of their house right now. Take Fight. Have a lot of room to utilize here on the south side. As we have a 3-14 pileup on the north end. Nameless. Be able to find one more. That's Nazeria going down there. Now Nameless. They're at this northwest corner. Have a minute to breathe. To drive by some time for their cooldowns.
00:49:15 We've also seen the strength of the Accelerator on the PK.
00:49:45 Ich weiß nicht, wie schnell die Wall back ist, wie schnell die Ultimates back ist. Und es ist so einfach. Die PK ist so einfach. Der PK ist jetzt sehr stark. Für Take Flight, die Triple Take ist in play für Pablo. Ich habe die PK, wenn es dann kommt, aber es ist einfach ein Double Sniper, Double Shot Confernt. Aber die Weise, wie man die Wunschung mit den Wunschung mit den Wunschung. Take Flight ist einfach, dass der Stout ist. Sie haben Roadhouse als Duell.
00:50:10 Und Akku, Lufka, hat nicht gemacht. Aber Roadhouse ist jetzt zu weit entfernt und zu weit entfernt und zu weit entfernt und zu weit entfernt. Ich bin ein großes Minecraft-Minecraft-Fan, besonders mit dem Tate-Flight-Ahr-Holden.
00:50:25 Die Kossik-Gas-Traps sind vor der Augen.
00:50:54 Anik, VC, Geo, und Ronin. All full 3s, aber wie du schon erwähnt, Anik ist da. Der einzige Ramport in Play. Er hat die Schiele amped auf, aber jetzt YQ findet das erste Knochen an zu Guts. Und es ist bombardment nach bombardment. Huge connects hier, as YQ will das Schiele aus.
00:51:14 Let it rain, EQ with Ashila. All you need is to break down these Newcastle walls. No cover for you to hide in. Look how low the opposition is, as Ronin, one of the teams rocking the Sparrow, maybe the only team honestly rocking the Sparrow for this first game here, are trying to get the res. BCGO gets a slam down with the Newcastle wall, and they're having a stair-off with Onik, who are safely inside a Gibby Dome with another Newcastle wall, and these amp barriers set up by a Rampart.
00:51:41 All these walls allows them to wake down the cooldowns. They need the mobile shield up. They need that Dome of Protection up. The nades are coming in. Onik now are backed up into a quarter, but they should have enough time here. Defensive bombardment out, and now it's Onik trying to push the charge. With the Gibi bombardment going down, trying to face face, EQ goes down, and Ronin!
00:52:01 Das Team hat die Kostler-Gastrup set up, mit der Altar als der letzte Mal alive. Take the first chaotic dub of the day. Man, was an impressive performance, but immediately getting to see the strength of the composition of the Gibraltar, of the Newcastle, along with that Rampart. A dividends, even though they didn't get the win, you saw the strength of it at the end. And they'll be able to run it for the next two maps, at the very least,
00:52:29 We are not, I believe, getting a Newcastle bet. It should be that caustic heading into game number two.
00:52:36 Ja, und das ist mit Ronin-Landing Launchpad, bei der weh. Remember wie crazy Launchpad aussieht für die Teams, die wir geholfen haben, von der South-Side geholfen haben? So, talk über die Timing in der Weise, die wir able, zu counter-rotate auf den Nord-Side auf der Launchpad. Instead, als wir sehen uns, die Match Resultat, aside von den Dubs zu bekommen, haben wir mit 6-KP, aber wir sehen, wie Chaotik das Final-Zone war, von Storpointen, da zu der Seite, und Anik, die 6-KP zu bekommen. Ja, so, nicht nur eine Massen-Massive-Gabe, aber ein Win ist ein Win.
00:53:06 End of the day, 6 KP, you're just waiting for that late game. And you know, unfortunately, if you run into dead center of the zone very early on, it's difficult, even with the sniper meta that we currently have, to try and find all these skills, especially at Stormcatcher. There's so many different ways to break LOS that you don't really have access to all the teams rotating in to try and get the potshots off and try and get some free kills off here. And so you can see that they weren't able to capitalize as much, but a win is still a win at the end of the day.
00:53:34 Es ist und es ist toll zu sehen, dass auch mit einer Composition, dass nicht immer auf Stormpoint, an dem Spiel Nummer 1 für viele Teams sind, die Patient-Player funktioniert. Und das Cover-Kate in Clutch ist hier für Ronin. Wir haben mehr Stormpoint-Action kommen zu Ihnen bald. Auf der anderen Seite von diesem Break. Don't go anywhere.
00:54:03 Das ist Gapwang mit der IRE-45. Wir haben gesagt, es ist ein bisschen über ein Komfort-Pick, aber die Schöpfe kommen in Clutch. Und 5-MHz wird das Ganze geben.
00:55:38 Gib mir alt, Mago Nucleur.
00:56:28 Vicky Kitty off the mic with Jamerson. I'm your host and now Castor Rayday joining Vicky on the mic for Game 2. Give Jamerson a little bit of a rest and I'll kind of lead into a little bit of the analysis quickly. Top of the billing, what's the statement, what's the takeaway from Game 1 in your eyes, Vicky? The amount of makeshift cover.
00:56:49 und wie wichtig es war für eine Zone wie das. Ich denke, wir haben alle erlebt eine sehr similare Stormcatcher-Zone wie das, wo wenn man versucht, die Logitech-Zone zu spielen, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt, man denkt.
00:57:15 Very hard to uproot these squads. You would mention Crypto EMP. We may see some crypto now that we'll see some bans coming in for Game 2. But I wanted to give a shout out to those who are interested in what they see. It's rare that you see this and you go, I could do that. Because that would mean you're already probably Masters or Pred.
00:57:34 I happen to be casting with someone who thinks they can do that for sure. And I believe in you. I know you would be on this if we didn't have to work on casting the circuit. But for those who think you can be a part of it, man, the Challenger Circuit registered now. September 6th through 8th. You might have missed that one. But the 27th to the 29th is also one that was just closed. But that means your last chance to do it.
00:57:56 ist October 4-6. Es closes October 1st. So get it in your last chance for the Challenger Circuit Registration. Do you think you got what it takes? Jump on it. Let's take a look at that final circle as well. Thank you. Walk me back through that play.
00:58:12 Es war super chaotisch hier. Und wie gesagt, meine intrusive thoughts waren, man, kann man imagine if there was, like, one Krypto left in this lobby, all this chaos. Es wäre ein bisschen schade. Aber das ist nicht der Fall, right? Es gab keine Krypto, so diese Ghibli-Bubbles, die wir able, um, was wir wollen. Aber dann, noch mehr importantly, haben wir eine Bombardierung für eine Zone wie diese, du musst, um, ein viel zu verändern. Und Gamersen, specifically, highlighting die Importance der Amps, die haben sich über die Angelegenheiten gegeben, zeigt, wie schnell du das Ultimative hast, oder...
00:58:42 zu bekommen. Ronan, am Ende, wie wichtig ist, wie wichtig das Ultra war. Das Ultra war die Portal zu sein, nicht zu tun, von einem Kossack-Gas-Trap oder sogar die Ring. Und es war ein Stahl, sehr ähnlich wie wie Wraith Portalstahls spielen. Beautiful. Chefs'Kiss ist die Möglichkeit, unsere erste Match-Of-The-Day hier in Amiga.
00:59:06 Ja, das braucht viel mehr Zeit als Wraith. Sie bekommt viel mehr Lewey. Und ein Charakter, der nicht in der Fall ist, ist Kostik. Er ist aus. Du wirst nicht sehen ihn, wenn alle Kontrollen sind. Und dann bringen wir ihn zurück, das wäre eine Option. All die Kontrollen würden würden, wenn wir Rampart, Watsons und Catalyst wären. Es ist nicht möglich, dass Rampart und Watsons einen Rampart in den mixen, für die meisten der Lägen.
00:59:31 Und ein paar kleine Quali-of-Life-Life-Things.
00:59:56 in line with the other legend seems like it might have worked here no longer that auto one auto two band
01:00:02 You know, it's really funny Ash was like not the number one most picked legend for one day I believe after like the split changes it was like seer took over and then it took like I think a day and a half later and the natural is back to number one So it took a little bit of time. It's just having a mobile legend especially in the current state of rank and even in ALGS a lot of we're in poke pressure meta right now like there's a lot of 30 30s you see some people you know with a bow check until they get a 30 30 monsoon literally like yesterday
01:00:32 was talking about how the Charge Rifle is still good, but also that's like Monsoon talking. Monsoon's literally just, I think about a Charge Rifle, I feel like his face belongs on the Charge Rifle as just a mainstay skin. But you know, Ronin coming out of that dub are one of the teams that didn't run that composition that everybody was running with Bunkering Down, right? Yes, they were one of the teams that did have the Cossack, I believe, but with the Sparrow nonetheless, they're out for blood and they're already taking this early fight after getting that Beacon Scan with the Bocek and Carr in the hands of McClutch.
01:01:00 Monsoon sagt er mag die Charge Rifle und wie es ist. Es ist halt wie Warren Buffett sagt er mag die Stock Market. Ich denke, er wird auch gut sein. Monsoon ist mit dem Sniper, egal was es ist. Rohde versucht zu weitergehen.
Team-Kompositionen und Strategien im Fokus
01:01:16
01:01:16 Tracks on the upper end, no Ash in sight, opting for the Alter and the Maggie and the Sparrow. Sparrow recently with a little bit of a touch to some of his ability to track players going from 15 to 12 seconds. Also some adjustments to his skills, his ability to have a certain amount of traps. Now increased a little bit with one of his perks out in the world, but overall just making him a little bit less...
01:01:44 when it comes to knowing where you are and also giving you the big question of, do we push this? Because now that ultimate, that Stinger Bowl, it does damage to you and enemies if you're in the radius of it.
01:01:55 And it slows you and your team down. Like that was the number one thing that I took away from that where I was like, wait, why am I being griefed by my own team? Because I did not know that that Sparrow ultimate like slows you down entirely. And that cuts your momentum too. Yeah, we don't have Caustic anymore in this lobby. And Jamerson brought up a good point about how it halts their momentum when you're trying to use mobility around that gas trap. Well, guess what? It acts as a double-edged sword when there may not be a gas trap in front of you, but it ends up being your own ultimate. But I also want to highlight where this zone is going to be pulling because we talk about Ronin and how they were able to come.
01:02:25 Out of that dub and they were already trying to take a very early fight and this zones actually pulling towards them so they can actually play on the edge of this still be able to prioritize objective and be in a really good spot comparatively to a lot of the teams have to forcibly rotate from the north side of that zone.
01:02:38 Yeah, looks like a lot of good things are happening from Ronan again. You win game one, now you have a good zone pull. Seems like a great opportunity to just seize it and keep pushing your momentum as it stands. A couple of great shots there from Nono. Says don't take that gravity cannon in front of me with a 30-30 in hand. You see this loadout quite often with the PK. Just the farming of sometimes the ultimate, sometimes just getting your damage up. And then again, that PK for the close range, especially with the character.
01:03:08 like Newcastle as we zoom in on one of my favorite places, Echo, to play around in Storm Point. It's going to be a south zone for sure, Vicky. And Onnick, they've got a different way of going about it. It means, yes, teams are like Ronan in a good spot early, but with that Gibraltar, every team, even from the north, is going to have a chance to rotate with that bubble on that Trident.
01:03:29 It really comes in clutch here. And they're still rocking that same comp that we keep highlighting because it's perfect when it comes to Stormpoint Rotate. And then you have Yi-Q out here with the Sheila, my Sleep Paralysis Demon, and my Nightmares. And I hear that weapon just ringing. And they are able to put in some pressure themselves. But look at this. Even if it doesn't go far, that Void Nexus, as you break down the doors, allow this team in front of them to reposition. Slightly isolated as it's Trojan, I believe, up on the high.
01:03:59 Und dann geht's weiter nach dem, während SJP 2 ist auch noch viel Platz über bei Echo HQ.
01:04:21 It's going to make that choke very difficult. Bihonic right now, feeling the firepower back and forth. Airpart wall is going to allow them to hold this, but do they want to stay here is going to be the question. This gravity cannon spot is really nice too. Up on the high ground, lots of pug potential, really difficult to siege uphill, and really just have to watch your back. So in many ways, I do like this position from SLR. They kind of came in late, but they feel like they want something else, Vicky. They're not happy with it. They want to move a little bit lower.
01:04:49 Hmm.
01:04:59 But they don't want to hang out by the Gravity Cannon, because that's also when you rotate there early, especially with only Round 1 closing in. It's third-party central. You want to bunker down here. You're already getting pressured out by a 30-30 G7 from across the field. They did find safety. They are looking to reset. And we talked about Pablo Minecraft, one of my favorite names I've probably seen in a long time out here, as Ronin now closing the gap. They see a Newcastle slam down, and they're one of the teams without a Newcastle. So they have to be safe here, because with that Newcastle Accelerator wall there too, the Energized wall, it could prove itself as well.
01:05:28 Was lethal if CJ cracked wants to try to use that spare ultimate clear space, which he did use a little bit earlier. Going for the triple old for Sparrow wasn't what we started out with, but now it's become the primary choice for a lot of pro players. Just the flexibility.
Kämpfe und Team-Dynamiken im Überblick
01:05:42
01:05:42 Sie wissen nicht, wenn Sie brauchen es. Sie finden das Option, Flight. Sie werden aggressiv. Sie finden Nate. Ronin ist in Ordnung. Maglutsch weiß es. Legion Gaming ist auch, dass sie eine Chance haben. Und sie werden mit Kalamidus verletzten. Das ist ein 3v3. Aber Flight, sie werden von der Rückseite verletzten. Klohne ist in Ordnung. Sie nehmen Flight aus der Lobby. Ronin ist vielleicht der Glückwunsch, dass Legion Gaming kam in und hat sie escape.
01:06:08 I just want to give a little shout out to one of my favorite weapons, man. I love the car. Especially, like, everyone's always like, oh, car R9. They're both very, very good guns. But what's really clutch is when you have these weapon arsenals now, the fact that the car levels up with both the light arsenal and the heavy arsenal, you should get the double whammy if you ever wanted to. If you need any of those extra attachments. Sure, it packs less of a punch as the R9, but it's got more bullets in the mag. And it just really helps out, especially if, like, you see these Newcastles, they haven't picked up a better knockdown shield. Just fully sent.
01:06:38 At that case, you have the advantage. And we keep seeing these G7s as Kinda gets the next knock. Roadhouse, Lufka, going down. Tons of damage. Artillery from the skies. Ordnance is raiding from above. And there's a defensive bombardment. Blast says, I know my name is Blast, but you don't have to send them all towards me. He runs away with the bat. But I'm not sure he's going to find safety in his escape. He gets a little bit of a corner here. A bit of a spite.
01:07:06 But he goes down just as quickly. Roadhouse takes down the remaining members of Blast and his squad. And that's going to leave them in a decent spot. Remember, Ronan was the one who was fighting. And thanks to Legion Gaming, got out of that fight with Take Flight. And now doing plenty of damage here as we follow along with Cybercats on the backside of Echo. And there's Ranches doing the same game that we saw Blast just trying to win out.
01:07:33 You know, Ranches right now, being on that Bangalore, hearing that Sheila to his right, shoot at me Bangalore dash over to the left side, says, all right, gonna be able to recover for now as the solo. It's tough. We've all been in a situation like that, but you have to stay alive. Let's see if they're gonna be able to get a reset. It's gonna be incredibly difficult with the amount of teams not only finding their safety behind these rampart walls, but up on the high ground on top of it. Look at who shows up a little bit late to the party, fashionably late, I'd say, with a Trident as well. It's Na'Vi, our world champion.
01:08:02 Sie vergessen. Ich glaube, acht Monate, ich glaube, acht Monate, in Japan, diese Leute haben die Trophäe gesucht. Jetzt ist es ein bisschen anders. Sie haben noch Schocko und Hierarcha, jetzt mit Schlab, zu finden, ihre Weg zu den Topen hier in EMEA. Take it to the southern side.
01:08:25 Vicky, everyone's kind of got a different plan on how they want to approach this. Navi going on the south, slow playing it. We still have Empire Gaming as well, a team who has not even jumped into zone. Ronan, they've survived, and so in a way, they've kind of been forced to play like this, but they've gotten back up, still on blue, haven't really engaged much except for that kind of final kill onto Blast. And now we jump into NVMI with 9 Impulse and Hard Decky, looking like they're in a pretty good spot, although in the middle of a big firefight here, our bridge trying to hold.
01:08:55 Yeah, it's unfortunate because Empire also landed northbound, so they have quite a ways to go. And for teams like NVMI here, who had it a lot better, have been able to secure that high ground relatively early, force a lot of teams off playing a lot more aggressively, have been able to secure KP themselves. And that's the game plan when it comes to playing on the edge like this. That's why this works into their composition. Even with Hardeki being on the Watson, they have the ability to utilize that void nexus, get right back inside of a different building or reposition if they...
01:09:24 Ja, und VMI, I know Ronin ist in front of them a little bit, but they want to make sure no one's coming in from behind. Empire Gaming, I mentioned then, on the west side of Storm Point. They've now found a little bit...
01:09:52 von einem Sniper Tower, einfach zu gehen, auf drei Purples. Ein ganz guter Platz hier, 10th Platz overall. Arktik versucht zu sehen, was er kann mit der Altar getrennt. Oh man, Liffin geht's mit der Altar. Aber man, Liffin geht's ein paar Shots von Taskmaster auf der G7. Looks wie das Pog-Battle nicht geht sein. Und Empire ist auch für's zu gehen, um sich der Taskmaster nicht zu aggressiv.
01:10:18 I actually think this is so smart that the Newcastle did not use the Void Nexus because just in case they are in trouble in the future, it's not on cooldown from taking it. So he ends up just walking back because he's right there. They get the rest because, of course, it is Newcastle, so you also get that passive healing. While Artic understanding his role when having to cover his teammates from recovering still holds a very aggressive position. Talk about communication right now from Empire, a team that we were just talking about that had an unfortunate outcome of the zone pool because they do land in North.
01:10:47 So they had to strictly play objective here. Still one team outside of it. Arctic trying to get revenge, 93. That's enough to push forward. Arctic likes what he sees. Throws an eight up into the air.
01:10:59 Will it fall now? It does, and it hits some damage. Taskmaster almost getting reversed here. Prestes forced to fall back. Big shot from the PK. One, two. That's one down. Looking for the second now. He doesn't know where Taskmaster went, but he's going to get this KP. At least he should, unless this Alter Portal causes him a little more trouble than he's worth. Taskmaster's still up on high. Arctic now finds him, takes the shots, but Liffin has the angle. Taskmaster will fall. Prestes goes down, and that's just one left.
01:11:28 So, great take and great reset there from Empire Gaming. Is he still crawling, by the way? I was wondering if they were able to finish that off there. Oh my gosh, very pesky, but terrifying. So put yourself at risk just to get that Thurseras. And MVMI now, off this low ground, have been able to bunker down exactly the way that we were wondering. They did the deed, they suppressed other teams, now they're forced to drop down while recognizing where the zone pool is going to be. How do you like this spot?
Entscheidungen und Wendungen im späteren Spielverlauf
01:11:55
01:11:55 I personally like this spot because of the composition that they're running. And considering that there is no Caustic now in this lobby because Caustic's the first Legend banned out. Yes, we know that Watson's gen could delete those Caustic nades, could take care of those Caustic traps. But it's even more important when it comes to the space around this in case you're forced to get out of this position. So I think with the Watson, this is great. But I'm wondering how that's going to work better against a new Castle composition that will have a wall in their favor. You can see here the same exact opposite side.
01:12:25 Aber mit einem Watschen, auf Ronin. So, Krax, Nate, Gluttsch, mit der Maggie, der Sparrow. Es ist nicht die gleiche Sache, wenn man das Stinger-Bolt sieht, wenn jemand auf den Fertig ist, dann geht's. Jetzt hast du das. Und so, du musst du nicht auf die Team in einem Verkauf, wenn du siehst. An interessantem Platz, aber ein guter Platz zu halten, zumindest für jetzt. Du musst du den besten mit dir geben, in dieser Situation in Echo, als es starten zu getrennt. Es ist noch 13 Quads remaining, als wir jumpen.
01:12:54 Und jetzt noch eine Runde. Und 1.33 von Guts, mit einem grossen Verlangen auf den Fully-Leveled-Up. 30.30 von Range, aber nicht ganz auf die Kille.
01:13:04 He's going berserk right now with that gold 30-30. And I'm also impressed to look at the circle pool because it is not only out in the open with that gravity cannon being the only thing like in the middle of it. Remember we were talking about how to rotate there could be scary, but guess what? That zone's pulling right there. And with the spare ultimate, everyone's getting funneled out. Talk about some damage pressure as they're stuck inside and the gimmick push with the bubble to start things off. And the new castle has to run away and it just throws them off. No shot.
01:13:33 Easy opportunity, and look how easy that was not. Hierka goes down. Na'Vi lose one, and now VCGO and Babylon's up on top.
01:13:44 Der perfekte Arktar ist, er wird ihn aus und er nimmt den Void-Nexus zurück. Obviamente, wenn man sieht, dass Wraith positioniert und geht in die Portal, es hilft, dass sie aggressivt in und rauskommt. Aber auf der anderen Seite, Nameless, dass die Aktion stopt. Mehr PKs, Back und Forth, Vicky, und Nameless, Looking zu clean up Robin und Empire Gaming.
01:14:08 I mean, I'm honestly still reeling from the fact that imagine being the only Mad Maggie in the lobby, and then you are the Gibby on the other side that just so happened to throw their dome down to be met with a wrecking ball. Like, just talk about playing chess for real right in front of your face and being the unlucky draw there, but that's what the matchup's all about, and we don't really get to see Mad Maggie, the warden herself, really come out as Onik.
01:14:33 One of the teams that are trying to still re-stabilize after the Gibby Dome of Protection had been broken. YiQ now trying to heal up. The Thunder's getting worse in the background, and it's only going crazy as Round 4 closes in right behind them. Trying to line a sight. The Spirit Ultimate's gonna take a lift up to the top and use that just to get on to height, but they realize Migluch is there, and Ronan is still holding down that area. Not sure if they've recovered back to a 3.
01:15:00 So they're going to go back down to the low ground. They see the damage and they feel it from Na'Vi. We're patiently just holding that corner and it's just nowhere to go for Onik. They tried one side, they saw Ronin. They went the other side, they got taken down by Na'Vi. And it's just Yeku holding in place saying this has got to be better than either of those options.
01:15:20 Oh, Navi got the respawn on Hierarka, though, with the Mobi that is right there, splitting away so much attention, something that Onnick wants to do, and look who is the only team in that next zone who has high ground. It is nameless, and they're one of the teams with the Rampart wall set up. Navi with 11 points right now, 6th place.
01:15:43 Das ist der Ende von Navi.
01:16:09 And as they keep falling, nine squads left. NVMI are still alive. And Nine Infos is trying to keep the Dream here with the PK in hand.
01:16:19 Hier haben wir die Blau-Purple-Bolt hier. Und sie spielen das patiently und isoliert. Und sie sind auch noch auf der Seite des Zones, das ist unglaublich, hier. Weil die Team, die sie auch noch haben, haben die Evo-Shields. Und sie haben 70. Ich denke, das ist der Grund. Ich glaube, das ist der Grund. Die Eko-Leron in der Mid-Battle, als auch. Sie verlieren. Kazak findet die kill, da. Und das ist NBMI, auch zu spielen. Das ist unglaublich. Und Sie können es auch sehen. Sie warten zu nehmen, diese Patient-Play.
01:16:46 Von dem, Ardecki, 9 Impulse. Kazak, das ist gut zu sehen, Vicky. Mal sehen, ob sie können etwas aus dem.
01:16:53 B.C. Go getting eliminated. Seven squads out. Howard Dekke slides in here together with Kazak. The Sparrow Ultimate has come out. And that's what it takes here when it comes to that new castle wall slamming down right next to you. And it's just a matter of time. But this fight is going on for as long as possible. Good thing that they were inside that one corner. But with the zone closing in, SLR do get eliminated. Six squads left. And Nameless have not given up from this high ground. Because everybody has to funnel into their line of sight.
01:17:17 Wir haben Riematsu und Guts. Ich habe dich, Dicke, ich habe das Spot von der Gravity Cannon. Aber sie haben jetzt den Team, die hier ist. Es sieht aus, dass sie ein Gottspot sind, als der Rest des Chaos ist, auf den Boden des Hillen. Und wir sehen uns, wer ist das Ziel.
01:17:33 Das könnte es sein, kein Allianz, 2nd place in Europa. Aber sie müssen Nvmi durchführen. Kozak zu der Seite ist Light, Peaks mit 1. Finds 1. Kozak mit einer großen Kill. Was kann Nite Impulse 2 sein? Er wird ein BAT. Hartek, er muss es halten, um es zu halten. Er kann. Er kann. Er kann. Er kann. Das könnte Nvmi schlafen für Nvmi sein. Der Fakt er hat, dass er übernommen hat, bevor er auf dem Fall ist. Sie spielen so gut, als Nameless.
01:18:00 mit drei Quads leften hier. Sie bekommen das nächste Knot. Die P20s kommen in Clutch. Nice Heald-Topp-Mount kommen in von Gutsch hier. Und remember, sie hat den Back-Side von der Zone gemacht. Aber mit einem PK-Shot, sie können nicht diese Raum geben. Sie wollen diese Abilität haben über die High-Ground. Das ist warum sie die Void-Nexus haben.
01:18:18 Wow, Boyden X is so good. And R and Ryumatsu providing such great support and cover. This is how you take advantage of it. But right here, there's free KP. We may not win this whole game, but we certainly feel like we can win this fight. And that Alter Q, so importantly kidnapped. Say hello. Oh my goodness, to the PK. Come down here, little fella.
01:18:38 Der Impulse macht eine Statement. Und jetzt sind es nur zwei Quads leften. Nameless, auf der High Ground. In VMI, down below. Sie werden eine Ultra-Q zu kommen. Sie sind raus. Und jetzt finden Sie eine kille für Deku-Tack!
01:18:57 Es ist nicht möglich, wenn NAMLESS hat die Spiel-Winne-Position. Es ist wirklich auf Guts hier, als NVMI mit der PK und Knochen nach Knochen. Hardecki, keine Med-Kit-Necessary hier, als sie in die Sparrow sind, mit dem Sparrow-Ult zu finden, das Pesky-Ultar zu finden. Und Guts, oh, er ist einfach der Inevitable, ist er? Sie wissen es. Sie kämpfen hart. Von Down Below, sie gewinnen die BATTLE.
01:19:23 I cannot believe that this team, who was not on high ground, who did not have the positional advantage, who did not have rampart walls with a 30-30.
01:19:41 walk up and we're able to find these pigs the rampart I saw that Sheila and I saw that pressure and it could be really lethal rain day when we have that damage amped up behind those amp barriers I mean I'm still a you're right getting over what we saw when you when you consider the the layers that they had to navigate in order to be successful there
01:20:02 Das war eine der größten Werteilung der wir in EMEA gesehen haben, während dieser Splint zu spielen. Denn du spielst du low-Ground, aber du spielst du auch...
01:20:13 Ihr spielt eine isolierte Position, unter dem die Leute erwarten, die die ZIP-Line sind. Wenn du nicht Alter in dieser Position hast, kannst du wirklich nicht gewinnen, denn es ist zu easy zu holen, auf der ZIP-Line zu gewinnen. Das ist der einzige Weg zu kommen. Mit Alter, die Pop-Up, die Surprise-Ar, und weil sie split sind, Ar nicht hat seine Team-Mate, und Ryumatsu und Guts...
01:20:36 Er ist nicht möglich, Vicky. Und das führt zu Hardecki, Naid, Puls, und Kazak mit der Plan, die 3-1-1-2-1-2-1-2-2-1-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2
01:21:04 These guys were incredible. Are we hearing, uh, I know you might have some tea or some coffee, but are we hearing a different kind of matcha in the background? Yeah, yeah. My little Shiva, she's scared. The Thunder, I wasn't joking. That Thunder was not playing out here in Florida, man. It's been storming as we actually go over to another game of Storm Point here. But it is NVMI who lead the pace right now, but not by very much here, as they are only leading the pace with only one point.
01:21:30 Well, we're playing on Stormpoint and you're casting with Rain Day. I have a feeling that you have just called whatever version of a thunderstorm that is possible to call from your actions down upon you. So Macho, we love you. Hopefully you realize it's going to go away. It's going to go away soon. We're going to take a break as well. We're going to go away. We'll be right back. And with that, we'll start match three here to finish off our time in Stormpoint.
01:22:00 Oh, ich habe einen Maggi-Ball, man.
01:22:41 Ich habe das Team, ich habe das Team!
01:23:10 Ja, das ist ja, das ist ja, das ist ja.
01:23:49 Los, los, los!
01:24:27 Sony Inzone, the official monitor of the Apex Legends Global Series.
01:24:41 We won two games already in the books as we move on to our final game on Stormpoint. We got to see the chaos unfold as I cannot believe NVMI just take over the high ground and take the win for game number two. Yeah, like Rain Day had said, it was just excellent target acquisition for them, right? As soon as they came out of that Alter Queue, they pushed straight onto the first target they saw. They were not able to turn their back.
01:25:07 in time to get to safety, and it was just an excellent performance coming up with MDMI. Taking a look at that final circle and how it all played out, you talk about that focus out here too, and I'm here wondering, you know, we see the poke pressure, we see the void next to set up, this allows Nameless to still get into an aggressive position, at least in one player out while two players still lay behind, but this play right here with the kidnap was disgusting.
01:25:32 Beautiful representation of what Cheeky Alter play could look like, especially at high level. Don't forget, you could kidnap anybody hiding in a corner there, and with the lackluster cover, with the zone closing in behind their backs, they got got. And Nameless got a little overly extensive because they were not expecting the Alter Portal from underground to perfectly split up the team of Nameless as NVMI walk up and finish what is left of Guts as the last player alive.
01:25:59 The thing was, Nameless did do the right thing there, right? They need to go in for the third party regardless, because we saw the full reset coming out from MVMI. Unfortunately for Nameless, MVMI almost took no damage in that fight, right? So they came up as a full three, and they were able to just barrel forward. With Ultra still in play, that anything could have happened for Nameless. They had to take advantage. They had to have hope that they were going for a reset. They had to hit some sort of cell or bat or anything that might have caught them off guard, but...
01:26:28 You saw how cleanly the NVMI were able to take that fight. It was all players, all three players on that squad that did everything correctly, like you had mentioned, that kidnapped as well. Just made it so easy for them in that fight for the reset, and then they were able to move together as a unit to finish them off. They literally could not have done that without Alter 2. That's the most craziest part. Like, that is a note for anybody at home that has to play ranked on Stormpoint. Keep note.
Strategische Anpassungen und Team-Dynamiken im Finale
01:26:54
01:26:54 ... ... ... ...
01:27:23 auf Klasik in Newcastle.
01:27:24 Ja, und hier ist die Sache, wir sehen die kind der Effekte, dass Starting Off on Stormpoint hat, right? Historisch, Alter hat die 2nd ban hier in EMEA, mit, ich glaube, only in Matchday Nummer 5, wo sie eigentlich die 1st ban hat. Aber weil der Prevalenz von der Newcastle jetzt ist, sie eigentlich survives into Match Nummer 3. Wir sehen, ob sie still bleibt. Ich denke, sie eigentlich will probably go out hier, und dann haben wir E-District Shenanigans danach.
01:27:54 So, again, um, just, just seeing how the importance of that Newcastle has pushed down the priority of a lot of these other legends is kind of important here. We'll have Watson still available when we go to E-District more than likely. And, and, uh, importantly here in match number three, Gibraltar is still alive. We've seen teams still utilize it extremely well. Onik.
01:28:14 Das ist, dass sie nicht die beste Ergebnisse haben. Sie haben noch nicht gewonnen. Sie haben noch einen tollen Job gemacht. Aber hier geht es um Nummer 3, der letzte Mal hier auf Stormpoint für den Tag.
01:28:28 Let's get it going here. Final game on Stormpoint. And NVMI in a flashy way just took game number two. Also, with 13 KP, that's why we had to highlight them and go next. Even though go next week, they had gotten that fourth place spot. They had gotten it with 12 KP. So, our team's finding that high octane action with a lot more of an aggressive comp. And you were talking about the Watson that we're probably going to see going on to E-District. We're going to have to see because NVMI are still sticking to the same comp that they were running prior.
01:28:58 Yeah, and I love this. Since the beginning of the split, right, teams were trying to figure out what is our core going to be. We know that the Caustic and the Alter and the Watson are going to be almost immediate bands off the first three maps. What are we going to be rotating around for NVMI? It's been this Sparrow, and the Sparrow does provide so much more utility. At the beginning of the split, he was a much higher pick. Now we are seeing a lot more of it on Dogs are picking that one up. Hot have swapped over to it as well.
01:29:26 Ronin, we saw them use it pretty extensively there in the last map. The SJP2 along with the cats have picked it up. But we do have our first seer sightings. It's going to be Empire to pick that one up along with Take Flight as now we do have the ring being pulled up going over towards the God Rocks and a lot of this Lagoon area for the mill in between Cenote and the mill.
01:29:52 And Roadhouse there too. It looks like the Seer is starting to make that rotation. And again, it's that conversation of Sparrow v Seer in terms of utility and playstyle. You want to play more Bunker Down, you have a nice control legend that you want to play for Endgame, especially if you get Circle Bless. What better way than having Seer for some information with that heartbeat sensor, with that invisible platform that you could just stand on, as well as being able to have Stern and Amps that allow you to just get that tactical faster. Talk about unlimited tacticals. It's insane.
01:30:22 You'll just be zooming around everywhere like you got Sonic shoes on and get that information. As you can tell, Jamerson, I've had quite an experience with the new Seer look as we see more teams now rotating on the outskirts of Cenote, closer to that no-name spot over by Bean. I think it's going to be very hot here because for the teams that do find that positioning inside these buildings, they won't be out in the open forced to play off the high ground or to little to no cover out in the open.
01:30:47 Oh, I actually missed one other squad that was running it. That was Roadhouse, who ended up losing out on one. Trying to move in early on here, but looks like the res will come through for the time. Big, big fight out now. This Kalabani is going to hold the line. Utilize that smoke back away. Take flight. Looking to get a little bit more aggressive, but they haven't been able to do it quite yet. Again, though, they do have this altar that can just change up the battlefield real quick here. Clone.
01:31:16 Das Anker in der Back holding die Linie hier für Take Flight, sie müssen sich auch bemerken. Auch in dieser Fight, die Third Partie kommen wirklich schnell. Sie sehen Long Rage Shots kommen aus dem Hintergrund und jetzt Take Flight. Sie sind jetzt aus dem Platz. Sie sind geflüchtigend. Sie sind geflüchtigend. Sie sind geflüchtigend. Sie sind geflüchtigend. Sie sind geflüchtigend. Sie sind geflüchtigend.
01:31:42 Das ist die Exzibit, doch. Sie haben die Exzibit online. Und also, dass sie nicht vergessen, dass wenn es eine enemy Seer auf dem Opposite team ist, die enemy Seer könnte nutzen die Exzibit als auch, für ihre eigene Gain zu bekommen, dass sie das double-jumpen haben, wenn sie einfach nur Stagger und einfach nur in den Luftflug haben. Aber das ist nicht ein Kampf sie wollen. Sie haben die Informationen sie brauchen, und sie wissen, mit der current Evo Shields, dass sie sie rocken wollen. Sie wollen einen Evo Harvester auf den Outskirts, wenn sie nicht bereits bekommen haben. Aber sie haben die Zeit, wenn sie auch noch die Zeit haben.
01:32:11 Sie sehen, dass der Retreat kommt. Das war viel zu lange. Sie waren auf der anderen Seite von Legion Gaming. Das war ein schönes Retreat für sie. Sie wussten, dass es nicht mehr Zeit ist.
01:32:35 They're holding the line for themselves. Currently, we do have most of the lobby inside this next zone. I'm not over. A few teams still straggling on the north side. NVMI, FeeCGO, Nameless, and OnDogs. But over here at Cenote, it's GoNext and Pot. They're just taking their time. Pot actually in a really strong position here. GoNext looking to just control this outside.
01:32:59 I don't know if they want to try and get aggressive with this composition. They have go next have swapped on over to that crypto.
01:33:08 So they might have an opportunity with an EMP, but honestly, I think it's just about slow playing this side of the zone right now and waiting for that Zone 3 poll information. I just hope no Gibby team runs into Navi because Navi have a Mad Maggie and a Crypto. It'd be a sad day if you were the unfortunate ones to deal with that rotate here as we get to take a look at Go Next and just being able to scan and ping the teams that are in front of them.
01:33:34 Die Team ist auf der Zonflug, aber sie wissen hier, dass die Zonflug wird, vielleicht nach dem Nordflug.
01:33:42 I've seen the zone pull closer to the Armory and uphill out in the open by Pride Walk. It could be lethal here as Omdogs take this fight over by Mill, get a little bit of invincibility here as Trick tries to move all the way up, but with the Spiral taking already so much damage, I don't think trying to push in that position was the move here for Trickz, as they were already kind of isolated from the fight with Billy Force of Papa Phoenix getting in. And this is a full isolated fight as well. Empire leading up one now.
01:34:10 Undogs, wenn sie weitergehen können, dann sind sie auch noch weiter. Aber wie gesagt, es gibt noch zwei andere Teams hier auf der Nordseite. Und es wird die VCGO. Ich denke, sie haben ihn aus. Wir sehen, wenn Billy kann.
01:34:36 Jetzt sehen Sie, dass es sich jetzt wiederum und schlimmer für ihn ist. Er ist tatsächlich ein Duo von BCGO da. Und ich denke, sie haben ihn einfach gesehen.
01:34:44 Oh no, I mean, they got the scan and said, all right, that's a solo. We've all been in that position when you see that server beacon scanning before your eyes. Do they chase it, is the question, or is this going to go against their timing on their rotate? We're going to have to see if we can get away with Navi now closing in the gap. Remember what we're talking about? The Mad Maggie, that Crypto. If I'm a Gibi team, I'm running in the opposite direction, and it looks like that team had called in a Void Nexus in the distance.
01:35:08 Empire. Now on the retreat here. Na'Vi finding some great timing on that push. Empire getting pushed into Nameless right now. Guts charging forward. R is there. One more player of Empire will go down. Now, once again, with two solos, it's Ondogs at Empire trying their best to rat things out. Ondogs will ultimately fall. Nameless doing a nice job of clearing out the northern end, but they still have to deal with Na'Vi.
01:35:35 ...who have a nice position for themselves over at the mill. Nameless though, a team... ...that had... ...the dub in their sights... ...getting Alter Portal'd on have had enough. Still in this game, still looking to boost up those evil shields while MVMI...
01:35:53 Out for Blood once again. This Ultra composition for this team, allowing them to play incredibly aggressive, said no Ultra Void Nexus for other teams, only us. They delete that Void Nexus at their feet, and more teams with this tricky rotate have been showcasing themselves with a later rotate through Cito, right? Teams like Ronin, who have to now go in from, I believe it was like North Pad before, and now being able to rotate all the way south side of Launchpad, actually, rather, and they were able to get that Evo Harvester now, see if they can try to get through Cito.
01:36:22 Weil diese Zone ist komplett über die Pride Rock auf der auskirchen von Mill. Ja, Onnick ist die Team, die sich set up und sie sind noch die Gibraltar und die Rampart.
01:36:35 Of course, they have the safety of that Crypto to give them advanced sites and make sure that they have all the angles around that rock covered up for themselves. But again, Onyx with that Rampart will be able to play that position. It's so incredibly difficult too if you don't have that Rampart. So I'm glad that they were able to get that. And I believe they also have priority. I forget if they ended up coming out from Mil. I believe they did. So again, it was just an easy convert for them. We'll see if they can pick up mobile points. Currently in second place with 25.
01:37:05 Roden hier in 3rd mit 23. Das ist ein Kampf, wie ich schon erwähnt habe. Sie wollen die Fights, aber sie haben nicht geschafft. Sie haben sich nicht geschafft. Sie haben sich gegen Legion gespielt, die auf der anderen Seite zu gehen.
01:37:18 I want to follow up. You're absolutely right. Onik with that POI advantage, being able to exit out of Mill early on and having that ring console obviously right there too. Just set them up to get into the position way earlier and works into that composition that we keep seeing and noting here. Except with the inclusion of that Korto instead to try to combat the other Gibis in the lobby as the EMP does get rid of that Dome of Protection. Na'vi though, playing off these lips inside this room, have bunkered down themselves with the Catalyst. Different form of a control legend that we don't get to see as Onik.
01:37:47 Aber es scheint, besonders auf Stormpoint. Und mit der Mad Magni 2, sie werden nicht mehr so weit gehen. Sie könnten sich das Zoll weiterentwickeln, aber es geht darum, dass sie die Information auf den Nr. E.V. auch. Sie haben einen Objektiv-Fight hier, auf der Nr. E.V. auch, als die Mythic Bin ist spawning in. Nameless, nicht mehr als die Teil des Zolls backen, oder nach Downbeast, für jetzt. Na'vi.
01:38:14 Just in this positioning battle up against VCGO, Hierarcha is going to try and find an angle for themselves. They did spot one solo. The slab wanted to push in, but VCGO instantly call it in. We've been spotted. Let's back away. Nom is coming in behind us. So VCGO are in an awkward position for now, but it's down to Navi to really hold down the inside of that building.
01:38:40 We love our business sitting with that boy, Nexus. Just is the insurance policy sometimes, whether it be getting out of trouble or getting information here, especially with the emotional changes that we've had, taking a little bit longer. But Ronan got full purple here, nothing to worry about.
01:38:55 As they're still playing on the outskirts of Sido, the only thing they do have to worry about is just getting into that next zone and getting through Legion Gaming who are trying to gatekeep them. Luckily in their position and looking at the time now, they have less than 55 seconds to decide whether they want to commit to rotating here or if they want to wrap around to the south side of Barometer. But if they do decide to do that, it may be a little too late right now and they could be at risk of getting gatekept by another team that have already found a building over to the southwest side.
01:39:21 Guts gets taken out instantly by Light. Now Gonext. They're not chomping at the bit. They are not charging forward quite yet. They know that this is a precarious situation. They don't really have a new, you know, you don't have a Newcastle. You don't have the Dribralster. It's difficult to follow up on this one.
01:39:48 But they are keeping an eye on it. They do have that drone out giving them information. Light charges forward. They're going to look to finish them off. There it is. Nameless going down. Go next. Clear out this western side. Now it's going to be Na'Vi VCGO to the north side who have a fairly isolated fight if they want to go ahead and take it.
01:40:08 Wir reden über Kinda und Henchman, von der Wettbewerb, von der Wettbewerb auf heute. Kinda Alone, nach den letzten zwei Spielern und jetzt in der zweiten Spielern, hat 8 Kp zu seinem Namen. Und Henchman hat, ich glaube, 7 Kp, so literally hand in hand mit einem anderen. Die beautifulen Follow-Ups von diesem Squad in generell haben, in diesem Jahr in der ersten Teil des Spielern. Als mehr Nox kommt mit einer Nade. No, no! Sending das aus, und es ist der Fight for Heiko. Oh, no, no! Ich wusste nicht, was er hinter ihm ist. Oh, eine große Nade!
01:40:37 EJ cracked, he's cracked himself with the PK. Ronin, excellent timing here. Legion gave me actually went really early on, backing away, didn't apply enough pressure. And so Ronin were able to walk up for this one for free, essentially. No, I'm still trying to find a little bit more here, but it looks like Ronin has the full three, can apply the pressure on the right hand side. Ronin with a huge opportunity now, currently in third place again.
01:41:05 Wir sehen uns auf Onyck und unsere 1st-Place-Squad. Wir sehen, Na'Vi ist in dieser Kampf. Es war zu passieren. V.C. Geo und Gohnext sind für die 3rd-Party. Na'Vi nicht hat den Klinis zu fighten. Der Schlag ist die Einwohner-Left.
01:41:31 I think he does live. He does survive. He's got Go Next right on top of him. Excellent third-party timing. That fight just needed to come so much sooner from either of those squads, but they just took way too long. So now Go Next. We'll go ahead and pop that Nexus looking for the next rotate in. The ring is going to pull down towards that south side as we've got another fight breaking out. Legion up against Trojan right now. Trojan.
01:42:00 Do have a nice backup position inside of the building here. They've got another 30 seconds to try and finish off Legion Gaming. Who I believe might be trying to hit this res for now. But Trojan are not letting up on this pressure. They are not allowing them to get this one off for free. You can see they're continuing to look for this. Oh no, the Syracuse comes in as well. Everything is just going wrong for Legion Gaming right now.
01:42:26 Trying to survive on sticks basically now. Go next. Beautiful G7 shots from Henchmen. We were just talking about how they've been fragging out. Legion Gaming eventually fall.
01:42:38 Und Henchmen, der Kiel-Leader in der Lobby ist, ist der perfekte Pace-Maker für wie Gonext ist so agressiv. Sie bekommen den Nacken mit der Pique und sie sind aus für Blood. Sie sehen, wie Sharks in der Wasser sind, als sie in den Nacken zu sehen. Gonext, die Leading in der Lobby mit 29 Punkte. Taskmaster, Kalonkazik und Hardecki.
01:43:01 Now the lobby is thinning out. We're down to 8 squads. 23 players remaining. Go Next have been able to slowly creep up here on the western side of the map. For Ronin, they have actually worked their way towards that north side. Following almost a similar route now. Coming towards the western edge. They've got angles on to Go Next. Roadhouse lose out on one more. It's all up to Blast to try and survive. Here with this Watson, but the ring's at his back. He does not have any options. He charges forward.
01:43:30 He will go down. Roadhouse out in eight. And look at this positioning right now that we're seeing Onik from. Remember, the team that had the POI advantage moving here very early, the only thing that it's really costing them is the objective Evo Shield Chargers, but they will just be able to form that right here with a fat...
01:43:49 162 Heade off the Charge Rifle. No stock, no extended mag necessary here when you're YiQ and you are just him with 20 bullets of the Charge Rifle in the reserve. Oh boy. Caught now on the road. They get caught in between Trojan and SLR. They will go down. That clears out a lot of space here on the northeast side, but NVMI still have a lot of teams to their backs to deal with right now. They've got Onyx and Ronin.
01:44:16 Killing in from that north side, a nice knock there from Zedan. Might make things a little bit easier here.
01:44:24 In the time being, NVMI are just playing things out. They can walk this one forward. We got Onyx trying to hold on. They do have the ring to their back right now. 15 seconds to try and find a way in for this rotating. GoNex might actually make it for them. Henchmen is literally one shot, by the way. Hopefully, they're going to be able to try to recover right there because GoNex have been on fire, and they want to keep extending that with placement points. Six squads left, and there's a team right below them.
01:44:51 Ronin are trying to fight for their life, while SLR in the middle of this fight, the PK shots, gets the next knock. Taiko, who is on the altar, though, can't get to safety, cannot get behind a knockdown shield, and gets pinged by Hardeki with the G7 and VMI. The griefers right now, all this lobby. Sorry, Atenam, you're the next to go as Trojan get eliminated. Great timing out there from NVMI. That brings us down to our final three squads. Go next, Anika.
01:45:20 Und NBMI. GoNext, aber sie haben nicht die Deployable Coverage für sie selbst, also haben sie ein bisschen mehr Konzert. Für Onyck, sie haben die Cooldowns, die Rampart Walls, mit der Gibraltar Dome, die sie hier für NBMI haben. Sie können sie jetzt in die Krebs für jetzt. Und sehen, wenn GoNext kann, sie versuchen, einen Angle zu finden.
01:45:44 You can see they are playing low. NEMI. Spot out light. Get some decent damage off. There's the crack, but they can't follow up.
01:45:51 You have to watch for these EMPs. This is going to be crazy. There may only be one Gibby left from Onik, but before these fights start with Go Next getting the first knock, they don't want to give up too much space even with them having the advantage. They're looking for the dub and VMI get eliminated. They knew the other team would eventually walk up here. Still Crypto's in the lobby here even with one Watson, but eventually they're going to have to start moving. It'd be ashamed if an EMP would delete all the hard work of these Watson fences, but even better for life.
01:46:20 It was just a matter of time for Go Next. This has been one of the most consistent teams across the split and ultimately taking the win here. But you saw the coordination. You called it out, Vicky, waiting on that EMP, instantly jumping in.
01:46:44 Not only that, they got the dub with double digit KP.
01:47:04 We kept talking about, you know, what we were seeing from henchmen, Kaida, Kazak, and they were going crazy in that lobby. Henchmen and Kaida alone before that game.
01:47:14 Ja, again, they kind of understand what's going on with their composition, right? They do want to fight, but unfortunately, they've gotten these ring pulls since they swapped over to that Sparrow to the more aggressive composition. They just haven't been able to do much with it.
GoNex's Dominanz und der Druck auf Alliance
01:47:39
01:47:39 Aber Sie sehen, wenn sie diese Isolated-Fights sind, wie stark die VMI sind. Unfortunately, sie enden in ein Sandwiches. Sie sind auch von einem anderen Seite. So es war ein sehr schwieriger Spot für sie. Aber Gonext, wie Sie schon erwähnt, hat sie eine sehr gute Arbeit. Onnick hat das sehr early Spot. Godrock waren nicht able, die Angle zu versuchen, aber sie haben noch einen Kurs zu verlieren. Aber sie haben noch einen Plus-9-Kill mit den 5-Kill-Points.
01:48:04 I can't believe this. GoNex have gotten 29 kills over the course of three games alone. And that's on StormPoint. That is actually crazy advantage moving on to our next map. As we take a look at the series results and where they stand. Yeah, it's a gap here, but not by much with Onyx right behind them. And still things could shift with NVMI. Also, one point difference between themselves in that third place spot and Onyx in that second place spot. As we bring back Rain Day after seeing the action that we just saw right now.
01:48:33 Game number three, GoNechs are farming this lobby. And they should be. That's the key.
01:48:39 Das ist das wichtig, das wir brauchen, für diejenigen, die nicht gesehen haben, der Start of this show ist. Allianz ist endlich aus dem Lobby. Das ist die 2nd place team in EMEA. Das ist ein Team, das viele Leute, wenn sie ihre Welt ranken für Apex Legends haben, haben sie in den Top 6, weil sie so gut sind. Und ich weiß, dass meine Kollegen nicht quite hören können, aber Sie können hören, das ist die wichtigste Sache. Die wichtigste Sache ist, dass das ist, wenn sie zu sehen sind, und das ist...
01:49:08 So that game, not only does it signify that they're here to play today, it means that when the opportunities are given to them, this is a team that has something to prove. And I love it. Go Next certainly showing up the way we anticipated they could. And I think that's a great sign, Jamerson, as we head into the rest of this not only day, but I think just in terms of Go Next mentality saying, listen, Alliance is going to be there, but that doesn't mean that
01:49:37 We're going to play any differently whether they're there or not. And that puts the pressure on Alliance. Yeah, I mean, it puts the pressure on Alliance. But again, if GoNex end up taking the win, they get the plus 25. Possibly they get bonus points here because they are so good at getting top placements in these games. If they can, maybe they get a plus three advantage on Alliance after match day four. But right now we're looking at possibly a plus two for themselves. So Alliance.
01:50:04 They feel some pressure, but again, it looks like these two top dogs are going to be fighting it out for the rest of the split.
01:50:10 I think that's an exciting part as well. Finally, maybe we're going to see EMEA have two big contenders here. And again, they're still the NAVI. They're still the NVMI. But let's take a little bit of a break here as the players reset. It's halftime here at the ALGS. And I did have to just say that there's some great action across all of our regions. We cover EMEA in North America here and the Americas here. But we had APAC South get down with some action earlier on this week. And let's lead you into what you might have missed.
01:50:39 Das war schon ein Rekord-Breakungsverfahren über die Orgs und die Familiar-Facen. APAX-South, in Matchday 6, haben sie die Double-Header gewonnen, um Round 2 zu starten.
01:50:53 Remember, this is a round robin, so every round the teams go ahead and play each group, and then they transition into the next phase, trying to do a little bit better than they did when they show up with that matchup. Five fears, they started off that series with back-to-back wins. But Gen.G., man, they put up a crazy 29-point second-place finish. You look at Dexter right here. He's got eight kills, seven assists. What in the world? 2,600 damage. Is this a pub? No, this is 8-pack.
01:51:22 Es war VKG, aber jetzt Gen.G. in den letzten Jahren.
01:51:51 Also, I mean, look at this, 84 points, 33 placement points.
01:52:20 Das ist Dominant, Vicky. Ja, ich meine, das war das warm-up day für Gen.G. vor dem sie weitergehen. Shout-out für Gen.G. von Gen.G. zu.
01:52:50 Gen.G just did not stop at all. Whether it be them being able to terrorize the lobby in that previous day with the double header that they had ahead of them, sometimes that could be a detriment to teams where they need to actually be but have more time to fix it on what they need to iron out. But in this case, there wasn't anything to iron out for Gen.G. It was about just coming up and showing up and doing exactly what they did the day right before. Look at the way that they've always been finding themselves in a better spot in these final zone positioning, which sometimes can get tricky depending on which legends have
01:53:19 Oh my gosh, with the R9 shots, by the way, with the one-times, looking at high ground and even through a bank smoke. I mean, look at this. These guys no ball for a reason. Asia, Dexter, these guys are cracked out. And with the gold R9, I do not want to be on the receiving end of the destructive damage from Gen.G. Because they definitely meant business before Wolfs E-Sports were able to at least catch a dub from underneath their feet.
01:53:42 Ja, das war unglaublich, Vicky. Und wenn man das Team ist, dass das Team performatet, aber auch das Team performatet jetzt, hier in der Doubleheader, findet das Rhythm. Ja, das könnte nicht sein, dass es nicht zu Gen.G. wassauber. Das ist so, wie ein sehr großer Contender. Und ich denke, Apex South, ich glaube, wir haben es schon gesehen, sie haben wahrscheinlich den 2nd-Most in Bezugreifen in Apex Legends. Aber das geht in Matchday 6 und in Matchday 7.
01:54:07 I think these are the Match Day 6 results. But Jamerson, it just goes to show how strong these individual players are and how strong they are collectively. But Asia, man, he had himself a day. Yeah, I mean, they're doing it in a region where they like to play relatively aggressively too, right? And so to be able to just kind of keep up that momentum where he's fighting and fighting and fighting, that is absolutely insane. Finally taking away from Effect.
01:54:32 34 kills in a 6-game series. Shoutout to our boy Genome for pointing that one out for us. But that is amazing. It is really kind of going to show Apex South on top right now in all ways. Like you had mentioned, Rain Day, that they are our most recent LAN winners with VKG.
01:54:55 Und jetzt sehen wir uns jetzt wieder einmal aus dem Kiel-Leader.
01:55:15 A fair lead up against the second place squad there, 95 right underneath them and then of course five tiers in 30 place with 81. So right now Gen.G are looking so comfortable with what, four more match days left. Yep.
01:55:31 And the final doubleheader of the split is on October 4th. So that should be next week. And you can see that action conclude. Obviously, Gen.G. and Wolves in a great spot. VKG in 17th place. But that team has done so much. Winning midseason should almost guarantee them, I would believe, a spot in our LAN coming up in Sapporo, believe it or not, in January. It feels like we've just been waiting all year for that thing. But that is still coming up, Apex Legends fans. Are you going? Let us know in the chat. We had some fun fan interaction.
01:56:00 Vielen Dank.
01:56:19 Das ist sehr, sehr süß. Das sind die lustige Interaktionen wir haben. Und natürlich, wir filmen auch noch Spaß, wenn wir an LAN sind. Und darüber haben wir einige Shorts, sind sie live? Ich habe noch nicht gesehen, diese sind. Ich habe noch ein paar Mal gesehen, weil ich weiß, was die ALGS-Videoteam haben.
01:56:39 Ich bin hier, ich bin hier!
01:57:08 Das Gun just shoots for centuries.
01:57:46 Let's go!
01:57:58 And remember, if you like that content, there's more ways to enjoy it. More content available on our TikTok and Instagram. And if you need another reason to follow, well, we're doing a giveaway. That's right. 23,000 Apex Coins. That is right. 11,500 on Instagram. 11,500 on TikTok. Split between the platforms. So follow and comment on either of those channels for a chance to win. But make sure you guys get your accounts ready for that.
01:58:25 Awesome. I always love a little bit of coin giveaway there, guys. It's always fun to see some free skins get delivered and say, this is because I watched the ALGS. So hopefully that's you, Vicky.
01:58:35 Um, I'm gonna need you to stop creating new accounts in order to be a part of that because I think, you know, we need to somehow let people who are watching have a chance, okay? Not Vicky Kitty cannot win, okay? They can, that screen name cannot win. Vicky, take a break. Don't do anything crazy while you're gone. Jamerson and I are gonna cast here for this one. Uh, Jamerson, all right, man. It's been four games. We're coming up on our fourth game here. Three, we saw Storm Point.
Meta-Verschiebungen und Team-Strategien in E-District
01:58:59
01:58:59 Talk to me, what's your roundup after 3, looking at the Stormpoint game so far as we head over into our next map? Yeah, this is going to be interesting because we got such an early Newcastle ban, right? He has been kind of firing his way up to the top in terms of Newcastle ban, so it does allow for a lot of teams to play a lot more aggressively. So for the teams that were running the Sparrow that we saw on Stormpoint, I'm expecting a lot more carryover there.
01:59:27 um more maggie's in play i i want to see that here because she is so good now um particularly here on e-district because you can just poke away with the riot drill when you know that teams are playing behind so many different walls but the alts are gone now again makes the rotations a little bit more difficult for go next here though they are gonna stick with that uh crypto for themselves and honestly the crypto core is what they have been able to utilize all split long
01:59:54 Watton will provide them if they need to play more center zone with that option. Of course, they're going with the Ashe, which is kind of interesting here that even between that split between Ashe and Wraith for the mobility, that it is pretty close. No, never mind. Never mind. Wraith actually is stomping on the Ashe pick, right?
02:00:16 There's a lot more flexibility for the teams that are running the Wraith at this point. But I think just with the movement that Ashe has as a skirmisher, she might be able to tip a lot of these fights, especially for GoNex, who might look to get aggressive. But we do have our first look at the ring. It is pulling up towards the northwest side here over at City Hall. So for teams like Nameless, Empire, Nom, they've got their pick of the litter for where they want to set up.
02:00:39 That's a great overview of where we're at. Meta shifting a little bit, maybe seeing some Maggies. We've obviously seen her intermittently throughout these lobbies, but really only three or four in this one here to start off on E-District. And you've got to be thinking maybe that's map dependent. It also could be thinking of without the altar, how do we shift our awarenesses of game winning opportunities? You're not really going for a good squad. You're going for the squad that's going to win the game. And that has to somehow counter what people
02:01:09 are going to do and then also put you in a position to be successful we see a lot more seers and a lot more cryptos i think coming out here but again leaning in on the rate without the altar the movement is so crucial like you mentioned jamerson to be able to get through these
02:01:25 Tough spots where E-District has, I think, more so than most in terms of maps. Very, very difficult if you get in a bad spot to get out of it unless you have a Portal character. And so that's where Wraith is going to play a big, big movement. But on Dogs, they say, you know what? We're going against it here. Bangalore and Trix, this is a combo they like to see. Bangalore, obviously, tremendous buffs over this last season, Jamerson.
02:01:48 Vielleicht sehen sie ein bisschen weniger als ich erwähnte mit der initialen Kraft von den Buffs und den Destroyingen von so manyen Traps und Ultimates mit der Smokes. Wir sehen uns, dass sie weitergeht, wenn sie weitergeht. Die schwierigste Stelle mit Bangalore ist, dass sie so stark ist, wenn man, ja, mit der Caustik ist, und die Traps sind da, aber er ist immer wieder 1-Band. Except für, ich denke, 1-Gabe, um, alle 4 Regionen.
02:02:17 Ich glaube, es ist nur ein Spiel, wo er nicht der erste Bann war, um, um, all our, all of our days played. Er kind of does lose out in, um, some of that strength. So, he's not as strong once that composition's gone, right? You're working on that counter. So, uh, even though I think in day number one of the split, we, we were seeing, like, eight, nine Anglor compositions. It has really fallen out of favor with how the meta has played out.
02:02:42 Und ich denke, wir sehen uns ein bisschen action von Empire Gaming. Lufka ist auch auf Korne, so Roadhouse ist zurück in den K.P., das ist sehr wichtig. Blass und Akku sind auf das. Sie sehen, dass Bangalore, ihr richtig, hat sie einen Wert in die Smokes, außer der traditionelle Weise, dass sie die Smokes spielt.
02:03:05 And without the Caustic, you're going to see a lot less of an effectiveness against characters like Rampart. And Sparrow doesn't really have enough for that to be warranted as Pac finds a couple of kills there with Oi Rain. So we'll see. I think later on in these matches, maybe match five, once you start to see Watson Ban potentially, or you see some of these legends that really can hard counter, that don't have the traps, maybe start to lean on Ramparts, things like that. We'll see Bangalore come in.
02:03:32 So far so good for Pot, who have found some kills as they made their way towards the edge of zone.
02:03:40 Yeah, for Pot, they do have to be careful. This has been a long fight, and they are picking up the kill points, but a lot of teams are still kind of rotating around the area. We've got Cybercats here, On Dogs, Legion Gaming trying their best to survive. So it looks like it might be an alleyway brawl in just a moment with all the strays showing up, but Pot do end up getting out of there in time. They do avoid the third party of On Dogs, but On Dogs are still trying to hunt this one down, while Pot are keeping them in mind.
02:04:08 While they hunt down the last member of Legion Gaming, you can see that, yeah, that ever-looming threat of Undogs is going to stop them for the time being. What? They're not giving up on it right now. You can see now Nate about to come up on Ronin here. MG Clutch holding this position for them. Right now, Ronin currently in fourth place with 29 points. They've got the northeast side of the zone. Onik to their back.
Strategische Zonen-Rotationen und Team-Kämpfe
02:04:37
02:04:37 The zone pulling up to the north side. Now, this is kind of interesting that a lot of the teams have favor to go for the very far northern pull, even though we've been seeing out of a lot of these ring interactions, the kind of ping-ponging that happens, right? It'll hard pull one edge and then go toward the other. And so there's a lot of commitment coming out from teams like Nameless, Trojan, VCGO, Noms.
02:05:00 Und das ist ein guter Start für sie.
02:05:22 A couple of syringes, and mostly positioning is going to be important here. He's close to the zone, so positioning and really who gets that first blast of damage that forces someone into a defensive stance. You take too much here, you're going to have to start healing, means you can't shoot back, and then that basically means that that fight is over in more ways than...
02:05:43 Anyway, you try to slice it so gonna with the seer have to stay alive here just being extra patient extra vigilant throws out the queue focus of attention realizes no one's there She's gonna take this side route and peek up on the height which he expects them to be and yes, there they are So take flight 13 points of their name 12th place overall here I have a tough spot, but maybe open to wait this one out They could last two to two zones here if this team doesn't let off the pressure But I think anarchy is gonna try to find a way around
02:06:12 The difficult part is that they're all out of heals. They are all out of heals. And so despite getting the kill and confirming on the one player from Nameless R, they're in a difficult spot. They've got Go next. You can see rotating over from that boardwalk side. And so they might run into the MSLR with the help of Nameless can keep them.
02:06:33 We're able to pick up a plus 3, taking out SJP2, our first victims in this lobby. NVMI rotating towards that north side. A lot of teams are starting to coalesce there. And this is going to create an interesting dynamic. This is the, you know, quote unquote, the slow side of the zone where Onik and Ronin are playing. But that's where we're getting the pileup. Typically, of course, you know, when we have a...
02:07:00 Ja, das ist eine wirklich, wirklich strong Northern Pile-up. Und all diese Teams sind still alive, nur 1 down. So 19 oder 18 squads, remember in EMEA, Shalala, would have been in this. They've disbanded.
02:07:28 Und sie haben eine neue Version von 07, die auf K-Swinney und Tyler-FPS zu sehen. So wir sehen sie in anderen Lobbys dieses Weekend, aber nicht heute. Und so, obviously 18 Squads left, eine Team hat sich verloren. Das ist SJP2. Und jetzt, über die Fast-Side der Zone, Jamersen, ist Legion Gaming. Sie haben einen Rund für ihn hier. Die Difference ist, sie haben...
02:07:54 Decent amount of meds so they should be okay when they get there as well, but Definitely got some distance to cover pot in front of them and on dogs holding that area So pay attention in case they do try to kind of jump into this that there might be some friction for some of those teams holding him out Yeah, they desperately need these bins as well after getting the rez onto the two players there so
02:08:16 This is going to be a difficult one for them. They're rotating in. This is the farthest they can rotate in from this zone. They're never going to be able to catch us of the ring. And they've got teams on the south side that could look to gatekeep them on dogs are currently holding that southern side right now.
02:08:32 So this is going to be a difficult spot. And again, once they get out of the ring, most of their meds are going to be gone. So Ondogs can just slowly pepper away at them, crack someone. There's the first one going down. That's going to be Sampi. I don't even know if they're going to be able to get this res. I mean, do they leave him? No one's going to res. Blue Flower seems fine. Probably popped a med kit there. Decision was maybe let Sampi do that and then let the heal come up so they can get the heal passive region from getting, obviously.
02:09:00 Das ist eine gute Idee. Es ist eine sehr gute Strategie zu tun. Aber was ich überrascht, ist On-Dogs haben die Krypto. Sie sind jetzt sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr mit der Usage. Aber es ist nicht so, Trixx kann einen Weg finden, mit Billy, zu sehen, dass Legion Gaming kommt auf der Right-Side und weiterholt sie.
02:09:21 So we'll see if that takes place in VMI over on the north side. We transition up to the very top of that circle in the buildings where we now see it's going to pull slightly down from setting up their Watson fences. This should be good for this next zone, particularly with Onik, SLR and Nameless right on their border trying to fight for their position.
02:09:42 Nameless, I think they were just too busy to really try and gatekeep NVMI, right? They had to get the res onto their third, and so unfortunately, that momentary lapse in the defense allows NVMI to creep on in. They were able to move their way past Onyx. Fur Pops, though, find themselves stuck here on the edge. Take Flight, looking at the gatekeep him right now. Take Flight themselves have to be careful on the other side of this fight. They've got Go next, looking for...
02:10:12 An opportunity and GoNex have always been a team that's just really good at the timings here to find that third party timing on the edges, clearing out their side of the zone. And if a fight breaks out here, this could actually be what GoNex used to transfer into possibly another win in this game. They have a great position right now. Zone's going to be pulling towards them. It's a simple walk-in for GoNex, but it does look like both teams.
02:10:39 Ja, es wird schwierig sein. Ich denke, Pott hat viel zu viel Zeit mit Take Flight zu tun. Aber Pott hat sich noch zu viel Zeit mit Take Flight zu tun. Aber Go-next ist, mein Gott, wie gut der Kastemaster hat, mit diesen Riffeln. Mein Gott, er hat die Scout, die Himmloch, jetzt die Himmloch.
02:11:05 Absolutely make anyone who peeks at them. Hey, we saw it earlier on Stormpoint. And it almost changed Ronin's fate. But now it certainly changes Gonex's ability to pressure them out. Taskmaster single-handedly opening up some space where we felt Gonex is going to be able to really shut them down. But they're not.
02:11:24 Sie end up securing the Thirst at the very least and so now they will go ahead and stabilize.
02:11:52 It does seem like Ondogs will go ahead and back away the threat of the third party from Empire. They can't take this fight. We just have to back away from this one. They do have the Crypto up so they can recover this banner as long as that drone doesn't get taken out. For Navi though. Uh oh. We're in a little bit of trouble here. Hierarcha extremely low. They'll be able to back away from the time.
02:12:17 Pablo connects, Slab will be the next one to fall and take flight now with the 3v1 advantage here Reign. It's just who Chaco left. And I love the impact we're seeing Seer have.
02:12:31 Das ist der Grund, warum dieses Charakter ist zurück in der Arbeit. Und das Fokus ist so viel mehr wertvoll, weil es so viel mehr consistent ist. Und die Pressure zu gehen, die von ihm ist almost unmöglich. Und jetzt sehen Sie Ronan, die gleiche Value haben hier. Los geht's und Listen in, als sie das Fight mit der Seer Exhibit haben.
02:13:02 You're about to get picked.
02:13:16 You know what's interesting about that one, Jamerson? It's the absence of the conversation. Nate simply silent, knowing things didn't go their way. I wonder if there was some screaming, some yelling, or if this is just how Ronin's been playing. Cool comic collected, Nate knows he's got a job to do, and everyone's just watching. Maggie Ball goes down, and he falls yet again. I think it was just an admittance of their fate. Tough spot for Ronin, and obviously, that exhibit only put them on display. Yeah, it's just not where their composition wants to fight.
02:13:44 Wir wissen, dass die Wraith und die Watssinn auf die Watssinn kommt.
02:14:12 um really on the storm point so quick swaps coming out from them we'll see if they can convert with that swap into a little bit more slr though in a fight take go goes down and zonzi as he's trying to heal up gonna go ahead and throw down that q over the resin doesn't seem like nameless will chase after this one and it's smart to kind of hold off here especially if you're nameless there's no reason to over commit you're zonzi you use a lot of resources there to stabilize not gonna
02:14:42 Not get offensive, and that obviously hurts. Nine Impulse sneaking in on the side of NVMI. And he's going to lose this trade, I believe, with the Mozambique. Or they're going to come out even. But now our deck, he says, let me just finish that thought, my friend. Nine Impulse. Make sure a couple lose the pulse there. Take Kotki.
02:15:00 Oh, boy. Kazak.
02:15:28 Es ist ein Wettbewerb. Sie wissen es, aber nicht werden können. Ja, Cybercats wissen, dass sie viele Threats haben, zu ihren Backen. Das Kozak geht um, NBMI zu machen. Die 30-30s und die G7-G7-Skälte sind. Es ist nur 9 Impulsen. Die Verlade ist rotatend mit dem Squad, um sie zu leben. Für die Zeit für die Zeit. Empire Gaming ist zu stabilisieren. Er wird die Krux von dieser Komposition sein.
02:15:56 Ich würde gerne sehen, Roadhouse.
02:16:22 Stabilize here. Every team seems like they have been so close yet so far from finding their footing. And again, with Roadhouse being pressured out by CRQs left and right. You're seeing the impressive nature this buff has led to for this character.
02:16:37 Overseer ist der perfekte Weg zu beschreiben, denn sie haben eine gute Vantage-Position.
02:17:06 ... ... ... ...
02:17:31 Cybercats aren't able to find the opportunity. You can see now Pot up top. Nomm moving through the lower. Bliffin ends up going down for Empire as Cybercats are looking for a little bit more. Now Empire Gaming's estate will fall and it's all up to Arctic who keeps them alive. It's top three. Go next Cybercats. Empire on the verge of getting knocked out here but Arctic is doing his best. This is a huge opportunity now Reign for Go Next to finish things off.
GoNex's Dominanz und strategische Anpassungen
02:17:58
02:17:58 Das ist einfach eine clean-up crew. Sie haben sich in den Klingeln gemacht. Und dann geht es weiter. Das ist eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine, eine
02:18:23 Gonext hatte eine große Herausforderung mit CyberCats. Sie waren ein bisschen zu aggressiv. Sie sahen all die killpoints. Sie sahen all die Trades, so sie gaben viel Positionen, um Gonext zu geben. Sie bereits hatten eine gute Position, und sie gaben eine bessere Positionen. Und sie gaben eine bessere Positionen.
02:18:43 Mit Gonext's performance, we've seen them overcome a couple of different things. I think we saw the fact that NVMI had that great win with that push, but I also think when it comes to consistency, Gonext has clearly been the most impressive team across these final circles. They are not missing these crucial shots, and because they're doing everything right on paper,
02:19:04 It's making it look so easy. It makes it feel like they have the right position, they have the right composition, they hit their PK swing, they finish off of the other, and they walk in, and it's a simple fight, Jamerson. This is a team we talked about at the start of the day, and they're showing again and again what we thought could happen, which is Alliance is out of the way, it is Go Next time to shine, and they are taking full advantage of it. Yeah, this is an absurd performance coming out from Go Next. Yes, we talk about the consistency, but this is...
02:19:33 Das ist eine von der besten Performance so far. Taking that back-to-back win there in match number four now puts themselves so easily in the lead. This is how good Go Next have been across the split. In the first three match days, right, they were able to convert 13 out of 18 games into the top 10.
02:19:51 They had a 50% conversion into top 5 with 9 out of 18 games. They were able to win 3 out of 18 games in the first 3 matchstates. Now they've already added on another plus 2 for the win percentage there, so that's going to go up. I mean, that's a 16.6% win percentage for GoNex. That is how good they are. The fact that they're able to consistently get all these placement points, you can see why they are currently in second and on the verge of taking first place here for EMEA.
02:20:22 Look at this, 69 points after four games. This is often what teams end the day with, around 70 points. And if that's the end of the day, it could mean that they're first or second place overall. This is just after four. They've got two more games. If they keep this up, they're going to break over 100 points. And I don't know which team can stop them, especially now that we're on E-District, Jamerson. That's what's making this difficult, the stabilization before that we saw with Gibby's and Ramparts and Newcastle's.
02:20:51 they're no longer available in the same way teams are opting for these kind of more aggressive information focus builds with wraith with with seer with sparrow but it's not having the same level of sustain and they're just not able to make it work i'm excited to see what you and vicky pick up on as these last two games come to our doorstep more algs action more amia can go next win yet again making it three times in a row we'll find out after this break
02:21:29 Ja, Dexter hat den vollen Reset. Ich glaube nicht. Vixiria hat das zu tun. Und Gen.G, keine Ahnung. Das ist der PK und Team Mango.
02:21:58 Ich glaube, es ist richtig, SOTY, es wird Gen.G.
02:22:27 Das sieht so gut jetzt. Der G7, der PK. Es gibt nur einen Mann.
02:22:36 ...weights as well for them to move on into Firepairs. Looking really good at the moment, but D-Cross Gaming also 16 Qs in this game. ...we can see DCG going in, Peacekeeper comes out, and DCG on the high ground, smoke everyone out, and it looks like Gen.G are going to take this one.
02:23:05 Man, he has 300 damage and two R9 guns in his sleeve. Gen.G looks so good right now, but they've overextended a little bit here. Why are they not fighting each other, the other teams? And they're going to lose again when they get the win. ...winterred right here, but Buffett does help the cause for Gen.G to somehow stay alive.
02:23:35 Red Bull is the official energy drink of the Apex Legends Global Series.
02:24:01 Next, they showcase why they're so consistent. They take another win here within our six-match series in EMEA. And it's not just on Stormpoint Jamerson, they do it again on E-District. Again, one of the most consistent teams here in EMEA here. Globally, honestly, with how strong they perform.
02:24:19 Every single day that they've played, they've just been outclassed a little bit by another squad, and so this is their huge opportunity now. They're not, you know, well out of the storm, well out of reaching range, right? There are other teams that, with two more good games, can catch up to them, but with the way they're playing, they are not letting go of the gas whatsoever, Vicky.
02:24:40 Es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es heilt die göttliche Kraft!
02:25:09 und wenn sie sich auf einen Schilder verlieren, sie nicht versuchen, zu überzealous zu werden. Ja, das ist auch für Go-Nex ist, dass sie eine solid-Game-Planse haben, wenn es um es geht. Ich habe gesagt, am Anfang an, dass du, wie du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du, dass du,
02:25:37 Every single game, exactly what they're gonna play, and how they play things out. Go Next are just on another level right now.
02:25:43 They really are, and we're still going on to E-District, obviously, as our final map within the six-match series, as E-District comes right back over for match number five, but with the exclusion of Raith being integrated here. So you're going to have to have another Rotate Legend available to you, which we have seen side by side with a potential chance of having the Pathfinder involved. The Pathfinder, the Ash is still available for us, so again, not much changes for Go Next in terms of composition. They can basically still run it.
02:26:11 die sie wollen. Und jetzt schauen wir uns auf diese Draft. Sie haben sehr gut gemacht. Ich denke, ich liebe die Veränderung, die wir für den Draft System gemacht haben. Es gibt keine Veränderung für GO-NEXT, denn egal ob die Position, egal ob die Draft sind, sie sind sehr gut gemacht aus allen Spots in der Draft.
02:26:32 Wir wissen, dass es eine Evac-Tower auf der Nordkirche ist, und wenn man eine Zone-Polle auf der Nordkirche ist, dann muss man auf der Nordkirche gehen. Und wenn man eine Zone-Polle auf der Nordkirche geht, dann muss man sich auf die Nordkirche gehen. Und wenn man diese Fights hat, wir wissen, dass GoNex hat, dass sie nicht wirklich überraschend sind, aber sie finden die Erfolg, weil es um die Smart-Fights zu machen, um die Zone-Polle zu machen und um die Compositions zu machen.
02:27:02 und Konex haben bereits auf die Aufmerksamkeit gespielt und Konex haben die Konex gescheitert.
02:27:19 So easy for them game top five is even easier. It's a coin flip whether or not they're gonna make it the top five He's again. They have a 50 or before today. They had a 50% conversion rate into top five Across all of their 18 games of those first three days. So we go next it's can about just rinse and repeat
02:27:39 It's crazy. You know, you talk about Battle Royale and the high-level competition that we have here as we get to see the little flyby of the fishes and then looking at where this next zone's pulling. To have that consistency still, no matter what.
02:27:53 This is incredible. And seeing where the zone is pulling and the different legend compositions that we have, you talk about the Ash and we talk about having those rotate. Some teams, very rarely, I mean, we literally have one Pathfinder in the lobby, but a majority of them opting for the Ash here. You still have the Watson in play, which also allows teams that may like to lean into that crypto a lot more often going later down in the series to shine in these later zones once these rampart walls come up and these Watson fences as well. Yeah.
02:28:21 This is, uh, I think gonna be one of the most difficult rotates now. Possibly one of the most difficult games for Go Next, right? Because they do have...
02:28:30 actually the longest rotate for themselves going all the way up towards EDAM and Galleria. This is going to be interesting to see though. Is this ring going to pull up towards EDAM or is it going to go into Galleria? There's still actually an option where it actually goes over towards Roadhouse. We've seen a few of those zones. So this one's a little bit difficult to read even if you do have that ring 2 scan. So for a lot of the teams that do like to play a little bit slower on the edges, try and wait for that ring 3 information. It can work out.
02:28:59 their favorite.
02:29:01 Ja, das ist ein schwierig für sie.
02:29:30 They're in a position where they can't even really try to get the damage off, right? To get the evil charge for themselves, to upgrade their weapons, any of that at that point. But see, Ronan, who started the day off strong and slowed down just a little bit here, looking to bounce back. Currently in fourth place, I believe 13 points down from third and then about 15 points out from second. So they still have an opportunity to catch up, but...
02:29:57 I think they might be out of reach of taking first place away from going next, unless they get two monstrous games in a row. But Ronin are looking to get aggressive. They have a composition. They've been running this composition, or a variant of it, right, with the Sparrow, with the Mad Maggie for a while. They just haven't gotten the ring pulls to really utilize that. Hard fight on the edge, in safe spots, in safe isolated zones. Unfortunately for them, they have to play center zone, basically, at this point. And so they're not able to utilize this comp to its full potential.
02:30:26 Yeah, and this is an isolated fight, at least for them here, while they are in high ground. This is their POI, so it was Nameless that are playing underneath them that rotate around from Resort. And we saw the plethora of nades that they hurled in Ronan's direction. I was wondering when it was going to stop, and it seemed endless. Ronan waiting patiently, though, still on the high ground, seeing if maybe this team, Nameless, that were underneath them, wanted to scan a beacon, and they're now on the other side of them. So they're just going to be able to try to get some poke pressure down, because this is a team that is going to not only try to get the scan,
02:30:55 if they can on the ring console, but get those white evil shields up too. Empire now. They do have a hold over this chokehold. VCGO was just ahead of them. I think they were taking some popshots off onto them. Moving forward here, they've got the rampart along with that seer to try and creep up onto them and not get caught out by any off angles that they've been spotted by that crypto. You can see how difficult it is to take the fights when that crypto drone is available.
02:31:24 So they're just going to go ahead and hole up in this spot for themselves. They have to worry about this EMP though. Ha ha ha. That was smart. They took down the Rampart wall just in time. So that way we didn't delete the damage amp part of the...
02:31:39 Rampart wall here, but with the Sheila out, it's just to build up some space, and Empire now rotating around the side of the building, noting that there is this team not only next to them, but there could be a 3P, and it's all thanks to that evil Harvester that these teams are fighting for, as Empire trying to fully swing, beautiful shots, even through the PK, though they have to be careful. Safe still alive, Arctic charging forward, Nam get cleared out, Empire with a great move, of course.
02:32:03 Sie finden sich in der Sandwichen, und sie nehmen sich auf einen Enden. Und es ist die Safer-Wine. Just behind them, da. Roadhouse wird die nächste Elimination. Wir bringen uns zu 17, die Quads remaining in 19th place. Und die Zeit ist salvageable für sie. 2 Good Games in a row können sie in 3rd, vielleicht 4th place Position.
02:32:26 I mean, luckily, because GoNext has been gobbling up so many of the points in the lobby, SJP2, the next team to fall, and EMEA are just getting so aggressive here in game number five.
02:32:38 I love it! This is where a lot of these teams know where they stand already after five games. This is why I always say it every single broadcast, Jamerson, that the chaos really starts up in game number five when these teams start getting desperate. Hierarcha, the only one alive right now for Na'Vi, and it is the Crypto. If you do have one player left alive on your team, this is the best case scenario so you could have that Crypto drum pick up those banners if they could recover. Ronin now, too, another team that's just trying to fight their way outside the edge of zone, as we continuously have seen, are gonna be able to recover for now.
02:33:07 Das ist auch ein 3-P kommt von GO-next auf der anderen Seite. So als Trojans waren, waren sie auf den Weg auf in. Und dann haben sie geteilt von GO-next. 71 Punkte für sie. Und das ist was ich liebe es zu sehen.
02:33:23 um a lot of our top teams right once a lot of these more defensive compositions are gone by game number five got by game number six regardless of the region the winners tend to get really aggressive in game number five and game number six go next though had the perfect opportunity for it they have the longest rotate um as this ring does continue to pull up towards edam so go next are going to take their time get every blast didn't reset get every last scan on their way on in and find every third party ronando will survive
02:33:52 Und jetzt, Na'Vi war able zu stabilisieren und getrennt die Rez. Also, Hierarcha ist ein guter Job, um sie zu halten. Aber Onyx, die Team in 3rd place ist. Die Snare geht um. Yiku sagt, nope, ich werde. Nothing zu worry about. Hier ist Zidane. Still healing up. So Onyx are looking to try and get aggressive, aber ich weiß nicht, ob sie haben die Timing hier. Mehr Teams sind zu kommen.
02:34:16 From that south side of the zone, Ondons, we're keeping an eye on it. We got Hot rotating in from the south side as well. So I think the timing for our fight is just gone for Onyx now.
02:34:25 Yeah, now at this point, you just want to be able to hold that northern building if you can. They're playing a split position on purpose to deny other teams from taking up that space while the rest of Onyx still get information. You can see even with the Sparrow Recon arrows, just being able to have that scan there in case somebody walks within that pathing really comes in clutch to let you know if somebody's trying to round up right behind you. And that could be the case if POT aren't too careful, if they are able to at least successfully rotate from that north side. As you can see, the teams that aren't in that next zone and VMI who are now coming out of energy.
02:34:54 Jett Bank playing objective they have an evil harvester a ring console and a survey beacon to work with as well as Ronin who are also going to be coming into that southwestern side yeah they saw go next take the evac tower and just creeped in with them so this is going to be a good opportunity for them to basically restabilize their economy
02:35:14 And they know that there was a team ahead of them. They're going to try and largely avoid that. So look for them possibly rotating in towards that cyber cat site for on it. They're doing a great job of keeping an eye.
02:35:27 um all around them and we were mentioning pot and on dogs rotating in from the southeast side so pot aren't able to get any further in on dogs i think took over the position that pot we're playing off of here for pot this can be a little bit difficult right they don't have the same kind of information that a lot of the other squads that are running the crypto um have they don't have the eyes on the other teams around them they don't know exactly what the battlefield is quite like
02:35:53 But this is a safe position for them. They're on the slow side of the zone. They're just hoping the ring doesn't pull away for them. And just now, the Mythic Bin spawns on that high ground, I believe. We'll see if anyone tries to contest this.
02:36:09 R1-2, schlussing in behind Pawt, und sie sind nicht mehr von diesem Spot. Die Team ist in der Bunker-Down-Composition mit dem Watton-Variation-Press. Das ist immer noch nicht so, dass er das Knock-On to Pablo-Minecraft ist. Und mit dem Knock-On here, schauen auf den anderen Team um ihn zu sehen.
02:36:25 Man muss einfach mal auf den Reset sein. Das ist ein Problem. Minecraft ist gleich wieder zurück. Niemand wird versuchen auf das Spiel zu tun. None diese Teams wollen auf den Platz geben. Und das ist die E-District-Settung, auch. Wir wissen, dass es ein vieles in ein paar Gebäude gibt. Das ist warum man so viele Spiele in diesen letzten Zonen sieht so viele Spiele in diesen letzten Zonen. Aber wir sehen uns mit Go-Nex als sie planen ihre nächste Rotein. Und ich sehe sie in fronte von ihnen.
02:36:55 Ich bin hier. Ich bin hier. Ich bin hier.
02:37:20 Ja, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, für sure. Ja, ich luchte schnell. Ich habe insane amount of nades.
02:37:49 Ja, ja, wir werden. Okay.
02:37:57 Dude, this look right now at Go Next is on another level. Taking that fight from low ground, staring at the Sheila in the face, not even having to reposition with an Ash Portal up on high ground, winning the fight, and then you could already hear in the comps, aside from them beaming with confidence, they're already on the move for their next fight with the next plan that they have to go up on hill. Yeah, that was up against an exhibit. That was up against the rampart walls.
02:38:22 Sie sehen, dass die Positionen nicht ganz gut für SLR war. Sie waren nicht mehr able, mit den Wallen zu haben, die Positionen nicht mehr zu haben. Die Schiele hatten nicht die Angle, so SLR kamen sie in, um ein Bad Fight zu gehen. Die Teamfighting ist immaculat, aber auch ihre Makro-Lease sind so gut. Sie wissen, wie die Teams aus.
02:38:44 into these really bad fights go next i don't even think the emp hit all three players and the first team uh first uh player they ended up knocking did not get hit by the emp but here we go go next now making the next move is sitting down gaming on the other side of this one who we're looking to try and three feet this one henchman takes a lot of damage will back away kind of covers him
02:39:09 Und jetzt geht's weiter.
Go-Next's Kampf ums Überleben und Oniks Aufstieg
02:39:30
02:39:30 Go-next, you're going crazy. Yes, you're landing these PK shots, but Empire timing that even better with full health, sliding it at the right time, and that's why Ash players are usually always the quickest ones to get out of trouble. Like staying alive and keeping the dream alive for Go-next here as it keeps soaking up more KP and VMI. Hard decade with these PK shots. Knockout Shield galore. Say hello to my little fence here, though, off the little Watson fence.
02:39:56 Und jetzt die 3P kommt in und machte was ist der 3P. Die 3P kommt in und machte die 3P. Die 3P kommt in und machte die 3P. Die 3P kommt in und machte die 3P. Die 3P kommt in und machte die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3P. Die 3P kommt in die 3
02:40:25 Ich glaube, Go-Nex hat sich hier auf. Wir haben eine Re-Spawn-Beacon. Wir müssen die Re-Spawn-Beacon sehen. Und da ist es. Hedgmen und Kinder sind jetzt in die Zeit. Für die Ring zu close in. Und wir haben die Evac-Tower. So wir werden auf den Weg gehen. Aber Empyre Gaming haben wir zu spoten.
02:40:50 Gonext droppen in now. Oh, the fact that they time it well to get right back on top of that evac tower going all the way down. You hear the G7 shots, none of them landing. As Gonext tried to find some safety. Playing off this low ground though, Henchman drops down right alongside the rest of his teammates. And it's just survival of the fittest at this point. Because we all know how it feels to be on the sticks with an Ironside G7. And now there's so many natives as Cybercats have the high ground position.
02:41:18 Go-next, though, at least make top 10. So they are able to back up their kill points with some placement points. We'll see if they can get a little bit more light once again. Surviving for the squad. There's the push out. He's going to try Q, but no. He gets tethered back right now. Kinda will fall. And now light just getting sent by every team here. Go-next, go down in A's. And so they will be stopped here, but they made good headway in maintaining their lead for the time being.
02:41:45 We're now down to eight squads remaining Empire Gaming trying to make the push onto Cybercats and this is excellent timing. Two knocks, there's Cybercats gone. We're now down to seven but the third party from long range. Arctic trying his best to survive but you can see Tate Flight starting to give chase.
02:42:04 Artic is spinning and dashing, slip and sliding right now, and hiding for his life. But you're inside the exhibit, by the way, and Pablo Minecraft knows exactly where you're at. Sends out the grenade because he's still playing it safely because he knows he's got the PK, but Pablo getting beamed by, what was that, hipfire on a charge rifle? Still gets tethered, though, at least with the arc snare, thanks to the ash, but they're still showing very much respect right now as Artic is just trying to recover.
02:42:31 Es ist Arktik auf den anderen Seite. Sie haben ihn zu zeigen. Sie sehen, er hat ihn zurück und zurück. Klone tatsächlich hat er die Dämme von Rage gemacht. Pablo ist noch nicht zu Ende. Sie haben ihn noch nicht gemacht. Und für jetzt, Sie sehen, er hat einen Knockdown-Shield. Kannecke ist er zu versuchen, aber es ist ein Purple-Knockdown-Shield. Er hat sich das in der Lage, für jetzt die Zone zu halten. Die Zone ist jetzt auf der Fall.
02:42:59 Good thing there's no more Alter allowed here, right? Imagine if they were able to take a Void Nexus, but that's not the case here. Alter's banned, and Onik now take up on the hologram with that Crypto, Watson, and the Ash. They're the kings right now looking down at the feast that they're about to take on. G7 shots, no light mag necessary for Zidane. And still, everyone is in their line of sight. Everyone below them needs to be careful, because while they try to take more poke pressure with five squads left, eventually Onik will be able to at least hold this spot for now.
02:43:29 Until that next zone. This is a massive opportunity now for Onik to try and catch up with our first place squad. They were down by about 23 points heading into this game. Now they are out placing and having the opportunity to pick up some kill points here from on high. It's Take Flight, Hot, Nameless Onik and Navi in this late game. But it's Navi set up in the center of the zone. They've got the Rampart walls down for themselves. Take Flight.
02:43:56 Sie haben das gleiche Option. Sie sind nicht auf dem Rampart. Und so, es kann ein bisschen schwierig sein. Luckily für sie, sie haben das Aschport, um sie ein bisschen closer zu den Center zu bringen. Die große Majoritye der Fighting ist hier auf der Northeast Seite. Navi findet ein Knock-Onk zu Oirein. Wir müssen sie versuchen, das zu schießen. Aber wieder, wir wollen dieses Spot nicht. Navi bekommt ein Knock-Onk, mit der R9. Und sie sind so aware, nicht nur Onyx Positionierung.
02:44:24 Es ist nicht nur die EMP, sie haben so viele Names!
02:44:48 So many Nades to throw down into this late game. I don't think they throw a single Nade this entire time. They could take that from Zidane to keep Nameless in place. R is going to go ahead and back away to EQ. Trying to chase after this one. And these are the Nades that I'm talking about. Just follow this up. They don't have to chase it down. Nameless ends up getting finished off. There's EQ will pick up that kill onto R. And so Onik will back away. They still have a wealth of utility.
02:45:15 Wir haben zwei 3-V-3-V-3 gelegt. Pot vs. Onnick, Navi vs. Take Flight.
02:45:29 Now try to climb up though, if that's not Minecraft Steve, that's Minecraft Pablo living up to the name and he's got the Kraber in hand, PK as well. Can he make this happen as they're stuck against the wall? They have information off the Seer technical too and with the EMP, this is the green light. Pablo lands a Kraber shot, can he get another one with the Feet Seas? Misses out on the next one, the Ash Portal right on time to reposition.
02:45:53 Onyx jetzt auf dem, Take Flight zu versuchen, hier zu pushen. Das ist jetzt hier, Navi, auf der höheren Seite der Zone, mit Pott zu versuchen, auf der anderen Seite. Pablo endet auf, oder, excusez mei, wieder ein Knot auf Taskmaster hier. Take Flight, auf dem Onyx, wie Sie jetzt.
02:46:10 The pressure has been alleviated just a little bit. He still has 6 shots remaining here with the Kraber, but he's coming to close quarters combat. Nice tag there as he backs away. That's a knock. Ante Kizeron making things so much more difficult for Ante against our final 3 teams. I think that too.
02:46:25 Oh, they gotta respect the Shiloh, though. The Shiloh just immediately annihilated Onnick. Now, our final two teams and Na'Vi have the high ground. They have the momentum and they have the aggression right now. Before they drop down, Pablo gets a peeking shot and looks like, oh, actually, we're at the Kraber shot, but it's fine because Na'Vi hold their position and they get the next win for game number five.
02:46:42 Navi war einfach nur für Navi der Zeit, sie hält die Linie, sie nicht aus der Position zu weit entfernt, sie waren so nahe zu der Zentren der Zone, sie sahen all die Bewegung aus dem Gateflite, von Onnich zu sehen, es war so viel einfacher für Navi am Ende des Gage. So, es war einfach eine gute Defense für sie, sie sind in der Stairwall zu spielen, aber ich muss auch sagen, Pablo, mit dem Kraber, macht es viel mehr hecht für unsere Gruppe in der Endgame.
02:47:10 Ja, und das ist mit Navi in Uptown und immer wieder zu spielen, unter Onyx Nose und immer wieder aus der Linie zu nehmen, um sich zu machen, um alles zu verabschieden, um alles zu verabschieden, um sich zu verabschieden, um alle anderen zu verabschieden. Wir sehen uns beim Match 5, der 11 Kp ist, um für Navi zu verabschieden. Und obwohl sie 3 Kp ist, um Anik zu verabschieden, um 3 Kp zu verabschieden, um Anik zu verabschieden, um auch ein 6 Kp zu verabschieden.
02:47:36 Unfortunate for Onnick, dass sie nicht mehr Konverte auf ein paar Kills waren. Sie waren so close, sie hatten Wealth of Utility, sie hatten all die Nades, aber Pot war es dann auch nicht so gut. Das sind 3 Kp, Onnick zu versuchen, zu versuchen, auf zu Gonext zu treffen. Aber über diese Mappe hier in Match Nummer 5, sie haben nur eine Net-Gain von plus 2, also Gonext ist noch leidend unsere 2nd-Place Team in der Lobby bei über 2 Punkte. So, Dinge sind wirklich gut für Gonext zu treffen, hier in Game Nummer 6, aber Navi...
02:48:04 mit einem tollen Bounce-Back-Performanz hier in Game Nummer 5. Das wird wirklich helfen.
Go-Next dominiert weiterhin die ALGS Pro League
02:48:10
02:48:10 And we take a look at the series results. And now Na'Vi kind of situating themselves after Code Next wanted to soak up all the points. And they still do with 77 total points as they lead the way. It still has allowed Na'Vi to slowly start climbing up even after that fifth game. 39 points for them with NVMI. Also on top of them with 46 points. But with that placement that Anik was able to get even with 3KP, they still find themselves in that second place spot. Yeah, but they're well within reach of NVMI, Na'Vi.
02:48:39 Ronin hat eine Möglichkeit, aber sie brauchen eine große Pop-Off-Gabe. Ronin ist ein Team, das ist ein Team für viele mehr Fights. Das ist ein Team, das wollen sie auf den Edgern. Unfortunately für sie, sie haben nicht den richtigen Rotaten für sie. Und so, obwohl sie die Möglichkeit haben, es nicht funktioniert für sie.
02:48:57 And that's them coming out of Lotus, too. It can be tough when you get contested for just Objective, as we saw from Nameless. But we still have one more game to go within our six-match series with an EMEA. Don't go anywhere, because that's coming to you on the other side of this break.
02:49:46 Ich weiß nicht. Ich bin mein Herz auf da. Reckon-Bose fired up, LITERALLY, Cuff! Some days, es ist einfach zu easy. Oh, finally. Ich dachte, es wird niemals aufhören. Well, die lustige Sache bei Wildcard ist, sie immer wieder aufhören.
02:51:30 Ja.
02:51:49 We still have, of course, a lot of movement available left, but right now it's coming down to the wire for a lot of our teams, right? They need to turn around this split. So I'm expecting game number six to just be pure aggression. We already saw it there in game number five, but we're taking a look at the final ring in game number five here. Pablo was doing an amazing job with this Kraber. Unfortunately, there was too much pressure onto them with Onik making the move, utilizing Zidane and that ultimate to get to the other side of this fight.
02:52:18 Es war einfach so viel zu viel. Navi hat ihre Zeit. Sie sehen, Holdau ist in der Stair-Wall, für die Trades. Pablo ist einfach für das Highlight-Real-Shot.
02:52:28 Honestly, es war sehr interessant. Wir sahen ihn auf den Killfeed ein paar Mal, auch wenn er mit dem Graber gespielt hat. Aber bevor sie sich auf die High-Ground hatte, es war Navi, der sich auf die Schiela aufzunehmen hat. Und mit der Schiela, es gab viel Druck. Klone, der nur auf die High-Ground aufzunehmen, hat das geholfen, und das hat Navi aufzunehmen, auf eine sehr blunderte Team. Das war einfach für Navi für Navi. Und mit dem Win...
02:52:56 Can we talk about the fact that a lot of our winning teams, too, by the way, have just been popping off? Like, double-digit KP, look at that damage output, too, as a squad. Emilia is turning up right now, as, again, we move on to our very last game here on E-District.
02:53:23 Ja, ich denke, vieles kommt an zu den Effekt, dass wir mit Stormpoint angefangen haben. Das Newcastle-Gon, nach Game 3, macht die Defensive Setup sehr weak, jetzt. So Teams kann man sehr aggressiv, kann man still push-up. Was interessant ist, dass, you know, Wottson somehow survived die ganze Bandstage, so...
02:53:44 While we were seeing a pretty upward trend in almost all the controller legends getting banned out or nearly banned out and almost getting us some resets, we have swapped on over. Half of our skirmishers are gone. It's only been caustic in the controller side that has been knocked out. So interesting dynamic here for EMEA.
02:54:04 It's so interesting, too, because then you also put into consideration, like, do you, instead of Watson, like, do you want to run the Catalyst here? Because obviously some teams are very comfortable with the Watson. But equally, with an EMP, it may not destroy Catalyst Dark Veil Wall, where there's a lot of enclosed buildings on E-District, but it could destroy those fortified doors as we move on.
02:54:23 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal in der EMEA-Region.
02:54:48 Ich glaube, es gibt noch eine gute Spielzeit.
02:55:09 der Wealth-Werings-Werings-Werings-Werings-Werings-Werings-Werings.
Strategische Zonen-Kontrolle und Teamkämpfe
02:55:19
02:55:19 You know, when it comes to Energy Zones, though, it's some of my favorites, because usually if it does pull over to the south side, a team coming out of DraftPoint, in this case, VC Go, who has the ring console, they have a survey beacon. You could probably find where that next zone is going to be pulling, and they want to maybe hold that southern choke here, try to deny that from other teams. It also depends on that EVO Harvester that is on the outskirts of Energy Bank is going to be the most contested EVO Harvester when it comes to a lot of these teams who are already taking an EVAC tower to make their rotate.
02:55:49 Yeah, VCGO also have that option to just stay in DraftPoint, right? Um, keep an anchor inside the choke, but it looks like they want to get much deeper in. Roadhouse making the move, you got Na'Vi, everyone heading towards that southwest side of Energy Bank right now. Legion Gaming even making their way on forward. Na'Vi look to get aggressive, force back SJP2. Both teams take their time here. Hierarcha has to back away as he's been cracked.
02:56:15 E.K. Shots very early on to deal with when you have white Evo Shields. It makes your eyes water and on the other side they're dealing with a team that has a lot more health to work with. I'm seeing blue and purple Evo Shields and maybe if they've been able to tag them they don't like the situation but the fight has not stopped. I'm hearing cracks here in the audio as Trojan also with the Mozamps get the follow-up and get the first team out of this lobby. That is SLR getting eliminated. And that's them out in 15th place with 19 points.
02:56:43 So the bottom of Lani have an opportunity to catch up at the very least there for Go Next. And they have such a comfortable lead right now. It's 26 points. It's going to take Onyx just a monstrous performance to even try and catch up to them. And that's with Go Next if they ended up just like going down here without any KP, right? But we know how consistent Go Next are so far on the day. They have an 80 point conversion into top 10. They've got two wins. They're looking to try and...
02:57:12 Finish this one off with another one, get some bonus points for themselves, go next. They're just doing such an amazing job today. Yeah, because not only do they recognize that they have the lead, but look at this composition. Despite even having the lead, they want to soak up as much points as possible just to make sure that they're in a comfortable spot in the overall standings in the region here. And while rocking the Watts and while rocking the Crypto, they're going to be able to take their time, get the scan off that Survey Beacon if they haven't already, and plan out their next move with an evac tower, it seems.
02:57:40 Ja, um, die Survey Beacons werden so valuable, so valuable für sie. Hold on, though. SJP-2, um gegen Tape Flight jetzt. Oh, der 1v1 train! Denzei hat's been poppin' off für SJP-2. Still needs to do a little bit more Clone. Not gone quite yet. Nades on in. Here comes a third-party as well. Clone will be able to utilize these Knockdown Shields for the time being, as Anaki does end up getting finished off. SJP-2.
02:58:07 Nv2v2, da wir gehen, Take Flight, Get's Delimited, S.A.P.2, die Re-Establish, Na'Vi in eine FIGHT, das ist Empire fallen zu der Weisheit. Na'Vi, mit dem Momentum auf Game 5, sie sind Nade, aber sie haben Rampart Wall, sie sind sicherlich.
02:58:24 This is such an Energy Bank fight that we're seeing right now too, right? Just a 3P on 3P. That's why you see a lot of teams when they recognize it being Energy Bank. They like to hold the position that Na'Vi is in right now. And that works into Na'Vi's composition beautifully. As Onik was that team that came in to 3P take flight after they took an exit out of this lobby. And Onik, with the KP that they need, they only have a little bit of damage on the board with 16 squads left. They see the team that's neighboring right next to them. If they want to have an opportunity, they need to frag out this game.
02:58:53 52 points right now for them. They could also just try and maintain this lead, maintain that second place for themselves. Again, it is so difficult when you have to have, what, 15 kill points and the win to try and overtake them at the very least. That's, again, without GoNex finding a single placement point, finding a single KP, but we've seen that they have been able to get these opportunities, being able to find these fights.
02:59:21 We'll have another opportunity here to get the map scan as soon as the ring closes as well. So they'll have much better information going into ring number three while everyone else that's in the center of the zone right now will be flying blind.
02:59:35 Playing on the edge, just so they like it here. It's nice to note that Henchman now has 19 KP throughout the course of the last five games and kind of is tied with him for the kill leader of this lobby. Zadon is gonna keep putting in some pressure with the G7 shots, warning shots as you could really say here, but I just really like the integration of the G7 as it's been able to really make it so prominent as a weapon in this poke meta.
03:00:05 Sometimes I miss the double tap. I was just talking about that this week, by the way. I was just talking about it. I actually liked using the double tap on the G7. It hits so good, especially if you aim at the chest, and when you hit the double tap shots, it automatically aligns with the headshot. It's so good. Yeah, I mean, that's what the double tap is for, right? You make sure you hit that second headshot. You make sure, you know, any zombies aren't...
03:00:28 So roaming about, you got to make sure the threat is gone. No surprises here whatsoever with this pole continuing to go over towards that southwest side of Energy Bank. VCGO Roadhouse are straddling that southern side. They do have a lot to deal with. CyberCats, Legion Gaming, Trojan, NBMI with the possibility of go next and pot backfilling there. On the north side though, Ronan with a pretty clear path in.
03:00:53 Maybe some friction from Nam and on Dogs, but with how much fighting we've already had, there is a lot more space here in Energy Bank, so things might level out for the next couple zones, but as I say that, it seems like Trojan and Cybercats might get into a fight there on the southwest end.
03:01:12 With GoNex creeping up right behind them. And Trojan trying to commit whether they want to take that fight or not. You have to imagine how risky that could be. Because with there being a circle beacon on the edge of draft point. Trojan have to have that awareness that there could possibly be a team coming in behind them. And I even see Sparrow arrows right there too. So it seems like they had already scanned that server beacon earlier. While Alonzi taking a good amount of that pressure. I'm just seeing and hearing these G7 shots find their mark. It is lethal out here. As Ranches is forced to back away too and pop that shield back.
03:01:42 Yeah, their ring console also draws a lot of attention their way. Cybercats. Just trying to hold the line here up against Trojan, but Trojan are slowly creeping up for the time being. Not all of this though, that third party threat from Go Next. They are biding their time. They are waiting things out. Cybercats will go ahead and give up the position. More on dogs though. I think they were trying to follow up on that knock. Trying to get a little bit more off of that JP2, but they're not going to be able to at this point. We've got a team coming up.
03:02:12 Right behind them. On Dogs. Don't have too many threats of third parties for the time being. But we still have Ronin. Citadel Gaming coming in for the northeast side. So it's not all clear for them quite yet. SJP too though recovering here. Playing off of the Watson Fences. Giving them a lot of space inside the room for now. For Onik. Again, it's about maintaining the second place spot for them. They're not in a position to pick up KP unfortunately for themselves.
03:02:41 Sie sind in der Mitte der Energie Bank. Sie haben nicht die Linie der Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight-Sight.
03:02:59 It's just so hard for a spot to hold, but that's why you have to show presence, and that's why you have to keep putting down the pressure while, you know, kind of working with whatever you've got. Thankfully, the Lupins do reset in the next 55 seconds, and with this team also being one of the crypto teams, they probably have already scouted to see which spots are available thanks to the crypto drone, and we've seen zones like this who actually, right on top of where Na'Vi have found themselves underneath that bridge from the very beginning of the game. DPS called this out back in the Americas,
03:03:28 Das Teamfighting ist so methodical.
03:03:57 Just in touch with each other. They are absolutely moving together as a unit. Taskmaster ends up going down. Pot survived for the time being. Now go next, have some space to work with. It's Legion Gaming on the other side of this. And we're looking to possibly steal a kill or two. But now for go next, it's all about hunting down that final player of Pot.
03:04:17 He is out of there. If you blink, you would have missed him. He went out to La Vista. He's going deep in the zone. Hopefully, he can survive as Ring 3. Obviously, you can survive through this as long as you have the meds for it. But for how long is the question? How many meds does that one solo player have from Pot? While GoNex are looking like Sharks looking around them. And again, with the Crypto, it's going to be pretty difficult. But while they take their time here, there's other teams waiting for them once that next zone starts pulling. Legion Gaming, hearing the fight, looking straight.
03:04:47 3P, as well as VC Go on the edge of that zone in that one house, bunker down with the Rampart, Roadhouse right alongside them playing Neighbor, as well as Trojan, who are still not inside the next zone. So it's still a very big cluster that GoNex has to consider unless they have an evac tower. Citadel Gaming is holding out while OnDogs try to get aggressive. And OnDogs, this is an important fight for them because they do have control over...
03:05:11 Ich glaube, es hat eine Ring-Console für die Zeit von Bing. Ronin ist es auch einig. Citadel Gaming, nachdem sie aufhören. Ich glaube, sie hat eine Ring-Console an Draft-Point. Das gibt es so großartige Informationen. Die Ping-Pong-Nature dieser Ring ist jetzt auf der westen Seite des Energy Bank. Mit der Norden-Poll. Für viele Teile, VCGO, Roadhouse...
03:05:37 Ich habe das SOUTHWEST PORTION OF E-BANK. Ich habe die Idee. Sie wissen, dass sie einfach nur auf dem Weg gehen. Der Trojan ist auf gegen NAMLESS. Sie haben bereits auf 2. Jetzt haben sie nur NAMLESS.
03:05:53 Wow, Pot actually survived, by the way. Go-next, left, and the solo that was the Watson was counting their blessings. Let's see if they can survive the zone pool, though, with Trojan. No-no, falling incredibly low, trying to drop down here. Guts incredibly won here, and Kiner with the hip-fire shots on the G7 is all they need after they eliminate Nameless, and he's crowned the kill leader for now.
Go-Next's Dominanz und das Ende des Spieltages
03:06:17
03:06:17 We have a number of fights taking place across the map right now. Ronin versus Citadel. Citadel. Lost down on Zuni for the time being. Zone's closing in. They are safe within the zone, but I don't know if they're gonna be able to recover him. Especially looking for an angle now. Zuni stealing him from behind. Gonna be Ronin with them corners of the back. EMP possibly to come on in. Remix powers backs away and it's a third party from the other side.
03:06:43 Das ist nicht genug, wenn du in eine 2-V-1-Situation bist. Denze ist auch für Blut, die 3-Tricks sind, als Gonext ist. Aber mit dem EMP wird erleden, die Hard-Works von der Wottenkinder werden. Und Gonext ist alles geholfen. Wenn es nicht der EMP ist, dann ist der Sparrow Ultimator. Aber das ist das, wie man muss das Engagement starten gegen Gonext.
03:07:11 Und es ist...
03:07:39 Looking like it is going to be the day for Go Next. It's all about who's coming in second. Onik maintaining their position, but now they are forced to rotate here. They've got Legion Gaming to their back. They have multiple teams also threatening to backfill from the south side. VCGO, Roadhouse, Nagi even gatekeeping on the other side of this one. For Ronin though, it's a pretty clear path from them. They do have Ondogs still behind them at this point, but it looks like NBMI are a little bit split.
03:08:06 Allowing Roden to walk on in. For Onik again though. They're just trying to creep forward. Navi holding the bridge on the other side. Keeping an eye on them throughout all of this. Oh, Zadon gets beamed the moment he looks through that door. And I do like the patience from Onik. Notice how they waited till the very end to get the scan on that Survey Beacon when they knew everybody was already going to be in this next ring. And with Roden now moving up.
03:08:29 Trying to get into position with Nick being still on that Mad Maggie here and PK in hand. They're gonna try to harass Onik, who are now forced outside of those bunker doors. Onik, or rather OnDogs, get eliminated and Onik just move up to collect that KP. Yeah, Ronin all rotating ahead of them right now. Zidane with the zipline down. Might give Ronin some pause. MDMI should have spotted that out as well. As now they reposition on in Kazak.
03:08:55 Und NBMI, auf der anderen Seite des Zidane ist, als Kizeron versucht, seine Bestes zu Survive, aber es ist nicht genug, EQ will fall, Onik ist jetzt in 2nd place. Es ist Navi's opportunity zu versuchen, mit NBMI zu treffen. Ich denke, NBMI ist nur auf 4 Punkte, so 3 KP und nur ein paar Position Points. Das ist gut für sie. Das ist eine große Herausforderung für NBMI und Navi.
03:09:22 See if they can capitalize with VCGO. Also getting EMP'd. Navi slide in. Slab looks behind him. And the moment he tried to extend, Navi got sandwiched. Talk about timing. This is the positioning that a lot of the team wanted to fight for safety. And with his own fooling away, Legion Gaming now follow up with the 3P. Talk about an invitation to a bigger party. VCGO get eliminated and now MVMI. They walk up with a slowdown off their own friendly Sparrow Ultimate. And it's been working out nicely for them. As you can see, McClutch trying to hold a nice little...
03:09:51 Jetzt mit N.V. Clutch auf der anderen Seite. N.V.M.I., haben jetzt genug gemacht.
03:10:11 4th place position with the KP to take 2nd place here. Now they have an opportunity to go for the reset. I don't know if they'll be able to get the res onto Hardeki. I don't see a mobile respawn beacon. Therefore 9 Impulse and there's the re-knock onto Kazak as 9 Impulse will try his best to survive a little bit longer to make sure they secure this, but...
03:10:31 No, No, will not give them that opportunity whatsoever. It's three teams remaining here, Vicky. Trojan and Legion Gaming fighting it out as now Nam are looking for the third party.
03:10:42 The only team right now in the best position out of all these squads is Nam. Uncontested as they walk up to 3P this fight. They try to sandwich Trojan from right behind, making them the ham to the sandwich. But Ofran with the Kraber shots finds the knock onto Atnam. Trojan in a lot of trouble here as Nam move up. They are feeling themselves. They have the Kraber here to go for it. They already got the original knock and they get the finishing blow to get even more KP. Last two squads as now Nam look down at Legion Gaming.
03:11:10 Die Legion Gaming haben sich in den 3-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V
03:11:38 Ja.
03:12:00 And again, Bangalore came in with a lot of buffs, by the way, as well, right? So we haven't been able to talk about her as much, but she is still such an incredibly strong legend. That movement speed is absolutely insane right now. You saw how quickly he got there. I was even surprised. I was like, how the hell did Tephi get there? But, you know, our man Rain has been watching all the games. Rain, how the hell did he get there with that Bangalore?
03:12:24 Well, you know, that's the question we're always asking ourselves here. I mean, how in the world do they get these things done? I think ultimately people have underestimated this character because she's not really been in the forefront of the conversation lately. But the potential of what she can do, it's on display so clearly now that we're going to see more of her. I think we're going to see choice decisions on including her in a little bit more of these lineups before you start to see some of the options just dwindle and dwindle and dwindle.
03:12:53 I also have to say, guys, this is a particularly tough rotation of maps. You got Stormpoint. You go straight to E-District. You use so many different elements that you're prioritizing on Stormpoint. E-District often can be a little bit of a toss-up. It leaves for moments where people get surprised. They haven't practiced it. They haven't seen it. Bangalore, what she does in this meta, with that level of speed, that potential to turn fights around. Legion Gaming, Sampi had a good time dealing with that one, and I think we'll see some teams follow suit.
03:13:21 Very, very shortly. Guys, however, that leaves us with the end of a day that really was a dominant day, not just for some of the teams that we saw recently. Legion winning with a great, great win there, bringing them up to about, I think, 44 points overall. That 25-point win just over doubling their total points. So that's a massive move in the standings for them. But teams that were consistent, Ronan played a really good role of a threat across the board.
03:13:50 So did NVMI, VCGO, and Navi, Vicky, across every single moment. But when it comes to the series results, there's only one team that we can really talk about. It's GoNex. They didn't get their three wins, but they might as well have. 80 points, 25 points ahead of the next closest rival, NVMI, who tied with Onyx, by the way, and just edged them out in terms of the biggest game. But, Vicky, what a performance from GoNex. What do you have to say about this team that certainly has taken advantage?
03:14:20 It's their timing on when they call fights while also prioritizing their rotates. I love listening to their comms. You can tell that they're feeling very confident and I want to keep seeing this attitude. And I also just want to give a shout out to Legion Gaming because after taking that dub in that last game, I do believe they were sitting in like 13th place overall before taking that dub. And that basically just pushed them up half of that up to 6th place here. So that was very necessary.
03:14:44 Yeah, that was massive. Jamerson, taking a look at these overall standings now, we mentioned it might push them a little ahead of Alliance with those two extra points after the series is played. That could be the difference. Yeah, and the scary part is that GoNex have...
03:15:02 Been on the verge of just absolutely dominating EMEA. This doesn't completely tell the tale of the tape, right? Because they came in second in three match days. And I think in two of them, it was only by like four or five points. So they could have, you know, a possible like 10 point lead of Alliance if they had just two or three more better games overall. So I think this undercut go next dominant so far.
03:15:28 And that's crazy to say when it's Alliance on the other side of this one
03:15:33 It certainly is. And I love the way that this is shaking up in EMEA. It's made things even more indiscernible between who's going to navigate to the top spots of these leaderboards, who's going to fall by the wayside. We said this was the beginning of that back nine, people embracing the change as an idea for what this show meant. And we'll see it in North America, but EMEA has already shown us that the teams embracing the change are the teams that have...
03:15:59 Already been leading the pack here with GoNext for the first part of this split. We'll see if that continues.
03:16:07 We also should take a look at the top individual performers. You talk teams. I want to see who's at the top of that Sony Endzone Kill leaderboard. And it's none other than Henchman and Kinda. But Vicky Henchman, the performance across the board from Match Day 5 and now doing it again in Match Day 6. Just pure excellence. Yeah, he was popping off. It's funny because it always seemed like it was him and Kinda going back and forth one another. Kinda literally just a 1K key difference away.
03:16:37 von Henchmen und das zeigt, was ein starkes Team Go-Nex ist. Nicht nur in der Position des Endzones und wie Jamersen war der Conversion Rate. Wir sahen so viele crazy Nade-Shots. Wir sahen diese Insane-Picks mit der PK hier, und dann die G7 mit der G7, die wie gesagt, mit der Weapon-Usaage für heute. G7 war Leidig in der Long-Distance-Poking-Weapon versus der 30-30. Aber diese Team war einfach auf eine andere Level. Henchmen, specifically.
03:17:06 Das zeigt, wie du kannst, auch wenn du Bunker-Down mit Wadden gespielt hast. Ich meine, die Patience, Jamerson. Er hat alles gemacht. Ja, er kennt die Zeit. Er kennt die Tempo in diesen Fights. Er kennt die Zeit. Er kennt die Zeit. Er kennt die Zeit. Er kennt die Zeit. Er kennt die Zeit. Er kennt die Zeit.
03:17:22 His teammate got cracked and he instantly slides in to swap that position and hold the angle for them. I think that's what's catching a lot of the other teams on the wrong side of these fights off. The fact that they are this cohesive and that the anchor is able to fill in once the initial fraggers are forced out or if a refraggers is forced out of the fight, henchmen is instantly there as that swap off for themselves. They just tag him in so quickly.
03:17:49 Und es ist so impressionant zu sehen, weil es nicht nur ihn, aber die gesamte Team weiß, wann sie in die Position zu verwenden. Wir haben eine Quick-Listen in mit ihnen und wir haben nicht wirklich gehört, dass sie für die kinder Werte. Ja.
03:18:05 It felt very seamless watching the way that they would even peek and poke and then, you know, either reset, take a different approach to the fight, you know, both kind of settle in, have some patience, wait with those PK shots. Sometimes it's just tracking, tracking, tracking, and then shooting forces the player on the other end of that to do some wild stuff, thinking, okay, when's the shot coming?
03:18:25 Oh, when's it coming? You know what? All right, let me jump. And then you're immediately exposed. I felt like one of the things too that went in his favor today specifically was he never got banned really off of his champions after round one. Caustic went away, but then you have Rampart, you have Watson, and he played Watson throughout the rest of the day. That's super, super comfortable for someone who's already playing well. We don't have target bans like in some other esports where you can go up against a player and say, I'm going to make sure Henchman feels uncomfortable. But it certainly feels like the rest of the lobby.
03:18:54 would benefit from this guy not popping off as much on watson so i don't know if we see any other priorities for these bands or if it's just the state of the game and henchman needs to take advantage of it jamerson i'd say it's closer to that because uh the band's clearly prioritizing you know the alters the the the um you know the early on caustics the new castles it's gonna leave watson open for quite a while interestingly enough we were talking about kind of the effect that you know um what vp did on storm point would have a huge
03:19:22 Ich denke, dass Wottson was able to survive throughout Stormplay and survive throughout the day did largely play into that. A lot more teams...
03:19:30 kamen mit dem Newcastle. Wir sahen Newcastle den Bänden im zweiten Spiel. Wir haben nicht wirklich gesehen das aus EMEA, wo Newcastle gets Bänden im zweiten Spiel. Es ist typisch ein swap zwischen Kossik und Alter, auf die Bänden im zweiten Spiel, aber Mostly Alter und dann Watson ist die dritte, die Bänden im zweiten Spiel. Das ist einfach, dass er, ja, er war able, das für die ganze Zeit war. Er war großartig für sie. Er hat nicht zu viele Ärzte gemacht. Und das ist interessant, weil...
03:19:58 Ja.
03:20:24 Yeah, I agree with you, Vicky. How do you feel about that statement? Go next, top five team in the world.
03:20:30 Das ist ziemlich tough. Ich fühle mich das ist ein ziemlich boldes Statement, aber mit der Art, die wir jetzt performieren können, es könnte definitiv sein, mit der Art, die Hentschmann ist. Ich bin ehrlich, mit der Art, die er in und aus mit der G7 war, ich war ja, mein Boy ist auf Kontrolle, für sicher. Mit der G7 hat er in, ich sah es, aiming in und aus, das ist die Nummer 1, die man usually look out für. Und er war fragt, und ich definitiv agree mit dem, was du gesagt hast, wenn du ein Legend hast, dass du von Game 3, um Game 6, er war auf die Watton, ich glaube, Game 2, er war auf die Rampart, um, du get to actually...
03:20:59 Also, es macht es noch mehr interessant, wie diese Spieler, die sich auf die Charaktere zu machen. Ich habe ihn auf der Linie, hier. Ich habe ihn auf der Linie, hier. Ich habe ihn auf der Linie, hier. Ich habe ihn auf der Linie, hier. Ich habe ihn auf der Linie, hier. Ich habe ihn auf der Linie, hier. Ich habe ihn auf der Linie, hier. Ich habe ihn auf der Linie, hier. Ich habe ihn auf der Linie, hier. Ich habe ihn auf der Linie, hier.
03:21:29 Hallo, hallo, how's it going? Hey man, how are you? Not as good as you. Congratulations on the win today. Thank you, thank you. Doing good, doing good.
03:21:41 You know, I wanted to jump into your role on this team. Obviously, you got to play Watson quite a bit, and I love that for a couple of reasons. One, your consistency with the character. You had your highest kill game of eight kills on that third game on Stormpoint, but you got to play four out of six games on Watson yourself. Talk to me about what you do for your team by being able to be so consistent on that character and how maybe this meta has freed you up and you guys to have a lot of success.
03:22:11 Well, so I'm just there, just anchoring for my team. Got the GOAT kinda, just droning everyone on Crypto and Light just going crazy. And I'm just like following up on Light basically. And like off kind of ZMP work and whatnot. So it's pretty chill. Can't lie, it's pretty chill.
03:22:32 Can you talk to us a little bit about your mindset looking that you guys were so close.
03:23:01 getting those first place spots. You finally get it. What is your opinion right now with you guys trailing behind Alliance?
03:23:09 Oh, yeah, well, for sure. We've been going crazy. I'm really confident in the team. I think we're first overall in Pro League now. Just got to keep it consistent, get more top fives even. We're aiming for first place, first in Pro League, for sure. And honestly, I've been, you know, seeing you guys accolades all day long. Well, we all have. We all have, by the way, but...
03:23:34 Es ist, ich denke, dein Teamfighting das hat den meisten beeindruckt für uns. Kannst du uns überlegen, wie ihr kam? Es war sehr cohesiv und sehr einfach. Wenn jemand krank wurde, jemand war in die Position zu cover. Wie kam ihr zu diesem Punkt?
03:23:55 Well, we got the GOAT coach, Michael, fucking helping us out with the comms and whatnot. Obviously, like, we just set up the plays and we've, like, practiced a lot of our plays in scrims and whatnot and we're just, like, just flow state, just wiping squads.
03:24:16 Well, you guys have brought a lot to EMEA. I'm excited to hear more from you and from your teammates a little bit about the intricacies of what is making this work so well. All three of you have really been in premier positions, whether it's orgs, whether it's top of the league, whether it's just the ability to everyone look at you and go, this is a top tier player in the ALGS. Now you three have meshed and found something special together. So I'm excited to see that this is maybe just the beginning for you guys.
03:24:45 Before we let you go, you know, if we say, you know, go next top five team in the world, you guys, you agreeing with that henchman? Oh yeah, for sure.
03:24:55 Oh, yeah. I have a feeling he could have even said number three, number two, number one. That's crazy. But you know what? I love a heart of a champion. I love the heart of a champion, man. So we will be watching with bated breath. Congratulations on your win in Matchday 6, Henchman, and good luck. I'll celebrate with the boys. Thank you. Thank you. Have a good one.
03:25:17 All right, Hitchman from GoNext, guys. Vicky, you know, not necessarily, you know, the craziest day in terms of we don't know what's going to happen. GoNext came out swinging, and they never really stopped. But what does it say about Europe as we close out the day and where EMEA sits? After the break, how confident are you feeling that they're going to be presenting the quality needed to hoist that trophy when we look at Japan and Sapporo in January?
03:25:43 Very confident. I think I said this at the very beginning when we started off, I think last split season, where I believe personally that the regional gap that we used to see across the entire world of Pro League.
03:25:56 Ich glaube, Amea ist auf die Helm. Sie haben viele andere Spieler darüber gesprochen. Sie haben etwas zu tun, und ich denke, das ist das Motivator. Wir sehen, dass das Gap close ist, zwischen dem Allianz, die Titans der Region und den Resten der Region, die jetzt in den Regionen zu close, und finden sich in der Lage, Gonex zu beherrachten.
03:26:21 I think one of the best signs coming out from EMEA is that we have...
03:26:50 Three distinct teams that are really leading the charge for the squad in three different ways, right? You have Alliance, of course, doing an amazing job with the Newcastle. That's been their core for the large majority of this split. Going out from GoNext, seeing them being able to pull out the Crypto. And then, of course, all the Sparrow teams that have been doing extremely well so far in EMEA. So I think when we do get to Japan, the fact that we do have kind of versatile compositions, versatile ways of playing coming out from EMEA is a good sign.
03:27:20 Well, it's a great sign whenever I see you two next to me on my three box. Thanks so much for being a part of a great start to the day. We got more coming up in North America. But take a break, guys. Get some lunch and we'll see you in just about an hour. That's right, ladies and gentlemen. We are not done yet. While EMEA is coming to a close and on its sunset, it's about to be sunrise for North America. Coming up, it's Match Day 6. And you know what that means. We've got all the action that we just saw.
03:27:50 mit First Look.
03:27:51 Bis zum nächsten Mal. Bis zum nächsten Mal.
03:28:21 My friends, my family, it's been amazing to be with you today. I am your host, Randy. I'll be with you on that second broadcast as well and throughout our doubleheader this weekend, so it's going to be a lot of fun. But if I don't see you next for North America or I don't see you tomorrow, make sure you follow us on our socials. It's TikTok, it's Instagram, it's YouTube, it's X for Play Apex Esports. Or if you want to watch on Twitch, which you might be watching right now.
03:28:45 It's the usual, it's the old twitch.tv slash playapex. It's been so great. What a great day and me and Match Day 6 gave us all the fireworks we were hoping for and a big shout out to Vicky and Jamerson, all of our crew at Esports Engine, everyone at EA and Respawn for this game. I'm your host Rain Day and I'd like to remind you to never give up, never stop gaming and we will see you all in the Americas.
