Apex Legends
00:00:00
00:06:37 Just like it ended, on fire. If he didn't catch us in Sapporo, one of the greatest esports events in all of Japan had just occurred a few months ago. We've had a break. We've had now time to reset, teams to swap, and characters and storylines to build. And now the beginning of year five takes hold as we get to kick this off.
Start von ALGS Year 5 und Vorstellung der Kommentatoren
00:06:58
00:06:58 Ceremoniously online as we usually do and start a whole new year of Apex Glory. My name is Randy. I'm your host, but I'm not alone today. I have two of my good friends, my compadres, my buddies ready to go and call the action today. Of course, I'm talking about Onset and Gaskin. Mark, we have so much to look forward to. Year five, certainly starting off with a bang. It feels like a new era. I don't know what it is. We've got new teams, new rosters, new legend bands, POI draft. We've got new maps.
00:07:26 So much to talk about. And the fact that we start here in EMEA and we get to see the ALGS Championship Champions, it just feels good, man. It feels right. I'm excited to get into the action. I'm super excited for Year 5. Yeah, more rules. I like rules. More rules being added means more numbers, more stats. I like stats. The Legend Bands has been one of the most fun things to watch in scrims leading up to today. And I can't wait to see whether actually the bans that have been happening in scrims will happen the same today in competitive environment. But we'll see what happens.
00:07:55 It's interesting, that's life. Everyone's talking about how things evolve and adapt, and that's the same conversation we had with our Commissioner John Nelson. We got to adapt. We have to keep adjusting this.
00:08:06 this eSport, this competitive pace of the game. And Legend Bands, like many things, are going to now force these players to do things that they've never done before. Let's take a look at actually who is playing, as well as we have our participants coming up on your screen for our Pro League in EMEA. We'll see A versus B today. C, we'll take a break, obviously, and we'll have North America later on this afternoon. But, Mark, you mentioned Go Next eSports now under a new banner of Nadis Vincere, the team that just won in Japan.
00:08:34 Willkommen zurück, Na'Vi. Was ein Pick-Up, right? Du kannst die Welt-Champs pick-up, warum nicht? Das ist ein Smart-Thing zu machen. Aber es gibt so viele neue Roller-Rosters, die schon wiederkommen sind. Es gibt so viele Spieler, die auch wieder zurückkehren. Und dann haben wir auch noch einige Teams, die auch noch bleiben. All deine Lieblings-Favorite sind alle da, aber es ist ein bisschen ein Mix-Up. Und ich denke, Amir hat es geschafft, und hat es geschafft, ihre Respekt zurück in den letzten Jahrzehnten. Ich freue mich sehr, dass diese Teams gehen.
00:09:00 Unless Navi are a curse.
00:09:18 Und das ist all ich sage. Es könnte passieren. Ich möchte sie auf einen Blast machen. Aber wenn sie sich dann auf einen Blast aufbauen, dann ist es einfach nur ein paar Minuten. Das ist drei Minuten in der ersten Show. Dann ist es Karser und Karser. Das ist crazy für mich. Es gibt viele Curser in Apex. Wir wissen das für sicher. Aber ja, vielleicht ist es vielleicht die EMEA-era. Ich meine, nicht nur, of course, die reine Champions-Navi, aber auch die Likes von Allianz, die ist arguably eine der Strongest Teams noch kommen. Ich denke, das ist ein sehr spannender Zeit für uns.
00:09:47 Well, let's talk storylines, guys, because obviously coming in, you might be watching Apex and saying, oh, wow, Pro League's back on. What have I missed? What's going on? Mark, let's walk through some of the teams that maybe you might be familiar with. Have you, you know, had you have watched Apex for the last few years? And I want to see some familiar faces go out today. Amongst the roster main, there's always a few rosters that stick together. And it's usually the ones who have had the most success. And we mentioned Na'Vi, Natas Vincere, obviously picking up the roster, the Gonex roster, who won in Sapporo, Japan, who are...
00:10:16 Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute.
00:10:39 Allianz, another EMEA team who won a trophy last year. It was a magical moment for them. It was a little bit of a different feel. It wasn't so much the underdog story for them. It was more like they were fulfilling their potential as a roster. The EWC win for them was a massive moment for EMEA, a massive moment for them and proved that this roster is one of the best in the world. And also we know with Legend Bands coming in, they're one of the most flexible as well. So I think they're a team who are going to really thrive this season as well. Next up, we have a team who almost, almost...
00:11:08 Picked up a trophy as well, but didn't quite manage to get there. That's going to be GG. Of course, Mannheim, Germany was the stage where they were so, so close. So, so close to becoming champions. They were on match point first. They got out of the gates extremely quickly, but then just weren't able to close out in a series that just kept feeling like it was going to be theirs and then got away from them. The lineup stays the same, understandably so. They've had some good results in the last year or so. And the final team is a team that I like.
00:11:34 Well, teams staying the same, but of course that means other teams will be changing things up. First up, the Cybercats, a team who became very popular amongst
00:11:58 und uns als Kommentatorn, weil sie so gut geändert hat, dass sie ihre Kompositionen haben. Sie haben all sorts von Legends in die Fray. Und vielleicht wird das sehr gut helfen, wenn es zu diesen Legend-Bands kommt, weil sie sich zu haben, ein sehr diverser Pool zu haben. Up next ist FaZe Clan. Ich freue mich für das, weil FaZe Clan sind ein Team, das wir vielleicht erwähnt haben.
00:12:16 Und dann, wir haben Exoclan. Es wäre nicht ein Pro League.
00:12:44 Das stimmt, Dan. In this capacity we've got so many familiar names, a lot of looks.
00:13:11 Das ist die Liebe von Apex Legends. Diese Teams und die Spieler haben jetzt ein bisschen Geschichte. Kann sie tun? Kann sie finden das richtige Ding?
00:13:22 They're trying to do it as well. We have some teams from the PSQ, the preseason qualifier, that have made their way into it. Taxington may be a name that you have seen already as well. But it's not just Cat, it's Ronin that have come up and been a part of this. Jay Hanzo, somebody's been playing since 2023. Now, with that proseason qualifier, sticking with it. You know, somebody said the other day, stick-to-itiveness is what my father taught me, which is hilarious. But it's like, you know, we have these pros coming to it.
00:13:50 where it's like they've been here this entire time. Is this the moment that they get over the hump and they find it? Infinite as well, coming from our PSQ. These are those Cinderella stories we always try to highlight. So hopefully, as you take a look at Cat, Ronan, Infinite, and WEH over the course of this season, maybe there's something that you can root for in terms of the fact that they have now found their way into the big leagues. Can they push in and be the next go next? We'll find out.
Legend Bans und Team-Vorstellungen
00:14:14
00:14:14 in just a few moments. Obviously, as we take a look at it, too, there's so many things coming through from a character development here and story for players, guys. But in terms of the league, I mentioned, you know, we've had some big changes. One of the biggest changes for sure that I want to dive into are Legend Bands. Year five has added this huge depth.
00:14:36 für diese Spieler. Sie haben natürlich auch schon gesehen und hat Apex gesehen, aber es ist immer die drei Legends zu sehen. Das ist nicht der Fall. Wir werden natürlich auch beendet werden.
00:14:58 Things like this, as you can see, have changed the game, but I kind of want to dive into more of the legend aspect with you, Mark, and talk about how that might have an impact on these players. The way it works is you can play a legend. The most played legend in that lobby of 20 teams is now going to be banned. You cannot play that legend until you come back around and all of the legends in that category, whether it's support, skirmisher, et cetera, are banned so that it would be unlocked. This is going to mean you've got to have depth, you've got to have backups.
00:15:27 Und das ist nur noch zu machen, dass unser Spiel besser ist. Es bedeutet, dass wir ein Meta-Shift sehen können. Nein, zwei Spiele sind die gleiche. Es wird ein reales Test für die Teams werden. Sie werden zu tief in die Welle sein. Ich bin sicher, viele Spieler würden viel mehr Rangt-Games haben, als sie früher früher waren, um zu machen, dass sie auf bestimmten Legends sind. Die größte Herausforderung für mich ist, dass ich von einem Legend von einem Legend von einem Legend von einem Legend von einem Legend von einem Legend von einem Legend von einem sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.
00:15:52 Und du musst du adaptieren, die Situationen und die Abilität, die du hast, mit deinem Team zu interagieren. Es ist wirklich die ultimative Skill-Test, ich denke, für viele Spieler, die vielleicht spenden ein Jahr oder so, perfecten ihre Kraft an einem Legend, und jetzt werden sie müssen. Und jetzt werden sie müssen, sie werden müssen, sie werden müssen. Und das ist wo wir werden sehen, die mehr Fehler werden können, weil wenn du Dinge um, die Fehler werden können. Und wenn du dich um, die Fehler werden können, dann ist es schwierig. So, ja, ich freue mich. Legend Band ist großartig.
00:16:18 Dan, I feel like we've seen different metas really thrive for different players. You look at Hal, one of the most historied players in all of Apex Legends, winning on Horizon, more of an aggressive style meta, but kind of falling in terms of third place, nothing to shake at, but having some issues when it became part of the conversation of Gibraltars, Newcastles, things that are a little slower. Does this mean now players are excited about this? Or do you think there's going to be some trepidation that this isn't
00:16:48 My wheelhouse in terms of these bands. How do you feel players are heading into this looking as Year 5 begins with Legend Bands? I think there will be a split. I think there are going to be players that are very excited to show their depth in how they can play these Legends and we will get games where Wraith is a 90% pick rate for that game and you'll start to look at the Imperial Howls of the world and people who have succeeded with Wraith in the past. There are also going to be teams that play a composition that isn't necessarily...
00:17:13 So it's going to be exciting for sure.
00:17:41 Yeah, to me, I love the idea that you're looking at the way this game is being played, and now it's got to change every single match, every single map you're looking at now. Okay, well, we were successful with Gibraltar, with Newcastle, with Catalyst, but now we've got to play Ash. Now we've got to play Fuse. Now we've got to play Ballistic.
00:17:59 Can we still be successful? It's really going to open up the idea of who is the best team in Apex Legends Esports. If you've been joining us here now in this broadcast, you might be wondering, all right, New Year, you know, what's going on? We know the champion go next, and now we're under the banner of Na'Vi. We know Legend Bands are here. We know we've got Broken Moon and World's Edge is out. But what might...
00:18:20 Have you missed as well? We have a little topic today that we're going to run through some conversations and just open things up for those on Twitch chat. So feel free or YouTube chat to comment with us. We'll read your chats. We'll get engaged. But for me, I wanted to talk about one of our favorite coaches.
00:18:35 The best part about this is that he's not here to lose his voice. Privacy, I always joke with him saying he talks so much to these players that he's always got his voice lost by the time he comes on broadcast for us. But he doesn't need to have his voice lost for a tier list. Let's take a look at Privacy's tier list heading into this year. Obviously, he is a great, great analyst. He works for Falcons. Give him some love. Check out the tweet. He said, fight with me if you do not like it.
00:19:02 Ich weiß nicht, dass ich es nicht weiß. Ich weiß nicht, dass ich es nicht weiß. Ich weiß nicht, dass ich es nicht weiß. Ich weiß nicht, dass ich es nicht weiß.
00:19:11 Alter is up there. And I think one of the things that we've seen in Apex Legends as well, big shout out to Respawn, the entire team, obviously some huge aggressive patches that have pushed some of these characters into relevance. Ballistic at B, somebody I played, but Alter more importantly at S. We know how good Ash has been. We know how good Catalyst has been consistently, but really you're going to see a lot of Alter, I think, in this moment. So excited to see that. You guys let us know if you agree in the chat as well. And obviously that impacts who might be.
00:19:40 Ich weiß nicht, aber ich weiß nicht, dass die Team kommen auf Top ist. Was ist die Edge? Ich weiß nicht, aber KPPoll.com ist es gut zu sehen. Sie haben ein paar Teams aus der Welt zu sehen.
00:20:05 You've got to find me in New Orleans on Bourbon Street. That's not true. KPBall.com, check it out. One team I do like seeing on there, by the way, in that top 25 is Stallions, because I think they're a little bit of a dark horse. I think they've been performing extremely well in scrims, so I kind of like what I'm seeing there. And we'll have to see at the end of the season if it's going to look something like that. Dan, Gaskin, what have you been doing? What have you been up to?
00:20:29 I have been on Scrimwatch. These glasses are wrong. The glasses are wrong for it. Stylish, man. This is where we've been at, guys. I mean, of course, it's very important for all of these teams to be practicing leading up to Pro League and to LAN events. And we recently had A and B scrimming against each other. Big shout out to EEC, the Eternal Esports Club, for putting these scrims on. So we can kind of see where people land. Now, Alliance did lead these scrims. They won it with 65 points. Legion Gaming following up, as did GG in third. Alice fourth. And you can read that.
00:20:58 Das ist das, was wir heute sehen? Es ist das, was ich erwähnte, was ich erwähnte, aber vielleicht gibt es ein paar Veränderungen.
00:21:24 Ja, so interesting, too, to see, you know, how these bands will develop. We'll have a chance to see that firsthand in just a few moments. The players are getting ready. But if you have not caught up with one of the best teams on that World Rankings Alliance specifically, then you need to. One of the best ways to do it, maybe to check out Jumba's YouTube channel. He works with us all the time.
00:21:44 Jumbo ist ein Video über die Rise von Apex.
00:22:07 At the end of the day, we do love Gemma and all that he does for us. Amazing stuff, man. And congrats as well. Obviously, Alliance, Mark, heading into this has got to be the favorite. Obviously, EMEA, too, the favorite here. So it's great to highlight this org, sorry, not this org, Alliance, but also this region and the impact that they've been having as we kind of come to a close on what you've missed.
00:22:30 Ja, ich denke, Allianz hat ein viel zu gehen mit. Ich denke, dass sie ein Team ist, was sehr excited über Legend Bands auch. Wir wissen, Historisch, dass Allianz hat, die Dippen in die Pool ein bisschen, hat sich zu versuchen, zu versuchen, die Meta ein bisschen zu machen. Und ich denke, sie sind sehr confidente auf verschiedene Legends. Und ich denke, dass ich nicht wirklich wollen, dass ich jemanden will. Das ist ein weirdes Narrative, das bereits startet. Es ist Jahr 5, Jahr 5 Mark. Jahr 5, ich verabschiede mich. So, ja, ich werde mit meinem Willen.
00:22:58 Yeah, yeah, no, Mark, really lovely guy. Really more of a hugger than a fighter, to be fair, even though he is quite big and goes to the gym quite often. Yeah, don't cross him, but really... Guys, it's awesome. And of course, if you are checking out Apex Legends here in Year 5, we're welcoming you. We're excited. In the chat, remember to keep talking to us. We will talk back to you at halftime. We will highlight some of your comments and some of your...
00:23:24 But also, if you are watching, there's a few ways that you can tailor your experience to really be what you desire. And of course, I'm talking about Face It Watch. You can go to faceit.com slash watch. And the beauty of this multi-view is not only the fact that you get to enjoy Face It Your Way with Apex Legends, whether it's clipping something and bringing that into the conversation, like we mentioned, at halftime, or just watching a player that you love. Remember, Na'vi?
00:23:53 You want to see them, you know, and how they talk to each other. Every rotation your way when it comes to Face It and the ALGS. So check out faceit.com slash watch. Guys, what a time. You know, Year 5 is really on the cusp. It's right here. And obviously at the end of the, you know, kind of, I guess, end of the year in...
00:24:18 February, you know, my time is all locked because I just had a daughter two months ago. So February, January, I don't quite remember where we are, but coming from such historic proportions, having the opportunity to now, you know, look at this year and say, you know, we ended and we started. There's a real opportunity here, Mark, to kind of state your claim as to what this is going to be about, especially with the MIA region that has clearly shown and proven now they're not just contenders, they're champions.
00:24:44 Yeah, I think it's a really interesting last year that we've had. I think if you looked back at year four at the start, there was this general feel that EMEA was not the region that maybe people thought it was, maybe in year one and year two of the ALGS. And there was this fall off, but boy, did they prove everybody wrong. I think everyone almost felt like they were waiting for Alliance to get over the line. They weren't sure if they were ever going to, and they were like the great hope. But then seeing the performance of GG, the performance of...
00:25:12 We'll see them a little bit later on this afternoon. If you're watching with us, we've got a full day of Apex Legends Esports. But for now, guys, the players are loading in. The game is about to get ready. So it's time, Mark and Dan, to get it going. Let's kick off year five here in our ALGS.
00:25:41 Let's do it. Let's get going. It's been a while, hasn't it, Dan? When was the last time you did this? Because I've got to be honest, that rehearsal was very important for me to remember how to do this job. It's wonderful to be back. Dan, it's great to be back alongside you. And boy, have we got some stuff to talk about over the next few hours. It's been long enough that when I turn my camera on, it didn't work. So now I have to use it back.
00:26:01 Ich bin sehr froh, ich bin sehr froh, ich bin sehr froh, für diese ersten Setzen, weil wir einfach nicht wirklich wissen, was zu erwarten. Ich meine, erst einmal, wir haben jetzt die Frage, dass wir nicht World's Edge haben. Wir haben e-District für heute. Ich bin sehr sorry, aber alle in den Chat, auf YouTube, Twitch, auf jeden Fall, bitte in Dan Gaskin und mich in ein Moment für World's Edge.
Map-Rotation und Team-Zusammensetzungen
00:26:28
00:26:28 Okay, Stormpoint is where we're starting. You can carry on now, Dan. I just felt that was respectful. You know what I mean? There's so many moments. It was needed. World's Edge has done us so proud throughout the years. But, you know, sometimes we just have to move to new things. And that is going to be E-District back on our screens. And, of course, Broken Moon is in the rotation, but not today. Only Stormpoint and only E-District. Now, a big thing from the POI draft leading into today, Mark, was that...
00:26:54 Everyone focused on Stormpoint. I think there was only three teams who picked in their first pick something on E-District. Everyone else prioritized Stormpoint, and I think that is going to be something to discuss as the season goes on. We know full well that E-District is a little bit more fair when it comes to POIs. There are plenty to choose from, whereas Stormpoint, there are going to be key areas you want to go for. Of course, people want the Tridents, so they start picking those POIs, and others just prefer certain areas for their rotations.
00:27:23 Well, here we go then, everybody. Year 5 is here. The Apex Legends Global Series is officially back, and we are underway here on Stormpoint. It's going to be Dan Gaskin, the beautiful, the handsome, the talented man, alongside me, who just keeps getting put back on the broadcast. Anyway, let's start off with the World Champions, who probably completed the biggest underdog story we have ever seen in the ALGS, but now expectations happen.
00:27:48 Wir sprechen über Navi. Ja, würde wir haben gedacht, wir würden sagen, Weltkampions, die diese Röster haben letztes Jahr. Es ist ein großes... No, es kam aus keinem, aber es war eine der größten Geschichten zu kommen aus Jahr 4. Just zu zeigen, dass, von Challenger Series...
00:28:06 All the way to the World Championship, it was so good for these three gentlemen on your screen. Now, one big thing I'm going to point out straight off the gate here, Mark. They are not playing Ashe. Now, we are expecting Ashe to be banned. He's going to be the most popular legend in this first game, but they are opting for a different kind of composition here. Maybe something that will stick through several games. Yeah, it's interesting to look at actually going with Valkyrie as well early on. Maybe not a legend that we've seen as one of the priority picks, so to speak, but one...
00:28:35 The legend that they do have in their composition here is going to be Fuse. Now this is an interesting talking point because we're talking about controller legends and when you look at the power of certain legends that we're seeing picked at the moment some of the controller legends maybe fall a little bit behind the curve with what they offer but of course they do offer that ring console. Now Fuse fills that role for you. You get them onto blue you can hit the ring console so that's why we're going to see quite a lot of Fuse and I think a lot of teams are actually using it and...
00:29:01 We don't see Fuse banded to a little bit later on, maybe just because of that. Kind of getting through the cracks when it comes to the Ring Console Legends.
00:29:10 Ja, ich denke, da werden viele Veränderungen durch die Saison gehen. Leute versuchen, was der beste Weg zu starten mit den Legends zu starten. Was du für etwas, was du ein bisschen unter der Radar ist? Was du für etwas, was du ein bisschen unter der Radar ist? Was du auch, was du für ein Spielstil ist? Und, was du folgen? Ich meine, es ist etwas, was wir sehen, Jahr nach Jahr, wo die Composition starten zu verwendet werden, jeder copies wird. Und das könnte einfach nur in Game-to-Game sein. Jeder weiß, du musst in Game-to-Game spielen, also du verlierst, zum Beispiel.
00:29:39 A team that showed us they had plenty of legend depth last year was the Cybercats. Now, of course, they have made changes. It is going to be a different roster that you see on your screens, but they're going to go for something a little bit more normal, what we would expect. You've got Ashe, you've got Alter, and you've got Catalyst. I love this composition. You've got Assault, you've got Skirmisher, and you have a Controller too.
00:30:00 Well, just to give you an idea of where Zone is going to be going, I think we've got a little bit of an issue with the HUDs to show you at home, but we are going to be going towards Jurassic, so it's a bang-ten zone. As we're seeing, Na'Vi, World Champions, being reminded that everybody else is now chasing them down as they have a big target on their back. It's going to be infinite to take down two players, and one did manage to score for a while, but not the start the Champions would have wanted. Yeah, I think that's just an indication as well that you can very much go from hero to zero in a Battle Royale.
00:30:29 Es gibt ein paar Teams, die all zu scatteren sind, die jetzt durch die Mid-Ground zu kommen, um das Endcircle zu sehen, wie wir vorhin erwähnt haben. Und die Leute haben zu nutzen, die Kat-Wall zu kommen, um andere zu können. Das ist eine andere Grund, warum Katalyst ist so eine große Auswahl an dem Moment, und warum wir oft sehen sie in den ersten paar Games sehen.
00:30:51 Es gibt viele Teams bereits in und auf Jurassic. Es gibt viele Quick-Rotations hier in der ersten Spiel, das ist immer etwas, was ich liebe es sehen. Man sieht, man sieht, man sieht gut, man sieht gut, man sieht gut, man sieht gut, aber sie spielen so anders als die Pro-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League.
00:31:09 Ich glaube, wir haben eine 164 Fester. Ich glaube, es ist eine halbe der Lobby, in der wo diese Zone ist. Die Ring-Console hat die meisten von den Tieren geholfen. GG hat es auch. Und wir können sehen, dass nicht viel Platz zu spielen. Und alle, die hier sind schon hier...
00:31:23 Ich hoffe, du hast einen Katalys zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten, zu retten. Aber du musst dich so bewusst auf Alter jetzt. Es ändert sich die Dynamik des Bildung, denn du kannst du durch die Wände, du kannst du durch die Wände, du kannst du durch die Wände, du kannst du durch die Wände, du kannst du von der anderen Seite kommen in. Es macht dich nicht nur die Hände auf einem Schwimmel, sondern jeder Körper und der Körper und der Körper und der Bewegung.
00:31:44 You just need to be careful, you're not touching any wall, otherwise you could be abducted as you say. We might not see as much Alter on Stormpoint, but we've already seen a couple poking through on our screens. She'll definitely appear very prevalently when we get over to E-District though, that's when I'm expecting her to eventually be on the Legend ban list. Now BPR going for that Watson that I was speaking a little bit earlier of as well, just having a controller that isn't Catalyst so that you can stick with it throughout the rest of the series, or at least...
00:32:12 Ein paar Worte haben jetzt gescheitert, die Teams sich jetzt auf und sehen, welche Spots sind eigentlich noch playable. Denn es gibt drei Punkte, die in diesem Bereich sind. Und wenn man einen Moment hält, dann könnte man ein guter Kp zu kommen.
00:32:40 Das ist ein Problem für BPR, bei der wei. Es gibt einfach nur White Armour, bei dem Moment. So, wenn man einen von diesen Schöpfen hat, wenn man einen Schöpfen hat, einen Schöpfen hat. Wenn man einen Schöpfen hat, hat man einen Schöpfen hat. Wenn man einen Schöpfen hat, hat man einen Schöpfen hat. Wenn man einen Schöpfen hat, hat man einen Schöpfen.
00:32:52 Very interesting look at Alliance composition as well, because I mean, these are three legends that are probably going to get banned game one, two, maybe three, if not four. So this is when we will see that depth we were talking about from Alliance. Who do they change to? Are they good at doing it? Well, they certainly showed in scrims they are, as they really want to be able to take this team on right now. You can see there's big pings coming out of unlucky.
00:33:21 wenn er die Dämpfe von dem Dämpfe
00:33:42 Es wird eine Nucke bekommen.
00:33:54 Es ist ein Franconnade von Effekt. Und Zayn sagt, ich werde es nicht gut für Faze. Wir haben Zayn gesehen, aber es ist nicht gut für Faze. Wir haben Zayn gesehen, aber es ist nicht gut für Faze. Es ist nicht gut für Faze. Oh, nein. Faze wird sich nicht überleben. Faze wird sicherstellen. High hopes für Faze in dieser Serie, aber es ist leider ein Early Exit für sie in Game 1. Allianz sieht aus, dass sie zurückkommen zu einem 3-3-Becon zu können. Und ich denke, Gonext wird es nicht so schnell zu pushen. Aber vielleicht sehen Sie die Dropship in der Sky, wird sie ein bisschen schneller geben.
Allianz dominiert und Ashe wird gebannt
00:34:23
00:34:23 Can we talk about what an insane hold that was from Alliance, by the way? They were essentially getting pinched by GoNext and FaZe. Managed to wipe FaZe and had done enough damage in the meantime to GoNext to back them up. And now Attenham is going to be the first one to go down. Alliance, scary looking. We didn't actually get a chance to mention the P2020.
00:34:43 Es gibt noch mehr Feuer, noch mehr Duress und es sieht aus wie zwei von ihnen haben already fallen. Uchako geht es jetzt an.
00:35:04 Ja, es looks like...
00:35:31 Navi will at least get the chance to live and fight another Rez, maybe, and it's just gonna be the battle of trying to get back on your feet over and over, but there's going to be less space to do so now we've got further into this Ring 2, and at the moment it's just about trying to avoid all this gunfire, but it looks like Zidane has done the job, and maybe, just maybe, Navi can get back up on their feet, because of course they do have the Newcastle available to them, they have got the support legend, they've got the ability to get him back in the game, and it's gonna be fun, because I think Newcastle is...
00:35:59 Es ist ein sehr popularer Legend choice, aber er hat nicht wirklich geblieben, als ich dachte, er wird.
00:36:13 Es ist über ein Laki-Stay, dass wir jetzt wieder in den Spiel gehen. Das sind zwei Fights, die nicht nach dem Plan waren, hier für Navi so far, aber noch immer noch in den Spiel. Wir sind zurück in die Zone, zurück zu wo wir gehen. Wir sind zurück auf die Hill-Side ein bisschen mehr, wo wir die Interaktion um die Bühne ein bisschen früher. GG in die Feed für die erste Zeit. Das ist die Taskmaster, die zu den Scouten fallen.
00:36:37 Well, ExoClan, who I mentioned and highlighted in the pregame as well, they struggled a little bit in the latest scrim where I watched them. It wasn't A-B, it was, I think, A-C. They were down in 19th place, just couldn't get going on any of the games where they got into things. They struggled a little bit with their composition choices, which surprises me. Maybe they can be a little bit better today, as Legion now started to march on towards, and it looks like they think they might have found someone to fight here.
00:37:09 Der Schatz kommt in von Biskam. Der Kattel ist auch zu gehen. Sie versuchen, die Feuer zu kommen, von der Topf zu kommen.
00:37:16 Ja, das ist eine große Halt von Ronin. Du musst sehr sicher sein, wenn du auf die Team bist.
00:37:43 Ich weiß, dass sie die P-20s haben. Aber jetzt wird es noch ein weiterer Schritt sein. Es könnte sein, aber es ist nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es Legiongaming wird. Wir haben einige verrückt 1-VXs, besonders mit den P-20-20 in die Leute's hands. Ich bin fattig, by the way. Ja. Und das ist... Ich bet Sie...
00:38:06 Even though it will only be 5% of the people in chat who will go... Oh! Still worth knowing, right? Hey 2020, everyone else you know this. It's cool. Hey 2020, what the fuck? Don't have to tap. Just hold it down. Those two things will go off.
00:38:21 So that's why you're seeing a lot of very, very, very convincing looking sprays from them. Huge output damage as well. Our next will be down to two here and outside of zone. So they've got about 55 seconds to make their move. They do have the Ashe available though, kind of. We'll be able to look for a port, but doesn't actually have it available. Still 60% needed. We'll get the banner. They'll have an evac if they want to try and rip that out of the back of the zone at the moment. Try and force their way in, but it's looking pretty rough for them.
00:38:50 Speaking of messages, by the way, 90% pickrate on Ashe, so she will be banned going into Game 2 with the new Legend Ban system. So any players who like to use her are going to have to change things up. But that's to be expected. That's what scrims have showed us throughout both regions. Every region, really, is that Ashe has been the number one pick. You can see in the killfeed as well, Kat currently under a little bit of fire. Max Strafi getting the knock and finish.
00:39:17 Und jetzt werden sie in der Mitte kommen. Und jetzt werden sie in der Mitte kommen.
00:39:23 Well, third time lucky here for Navi, maybe. They do have the Valkor available here for Zidane. That looks like it might be the plague. Have just been eliminated. Like you mentioned, that was the team who were banging the center of zone in one of the priority spots. UAE have also gone down as well. They were one of the teams who were involved in that fight. So everybody who's in zone is still scrapping to try and create more space for themselves. As you can see here, as soon as one fight takes place, usually in the middle of zone, everyone else wants to try and third party to claim that spot as their own. And that's what you're seeing.
00:39:52 mit dem E-Exchange of Fire in diesen Buildings.
00:40:19 Das ist immer eine der Grund, warum man ein Barsch anbieten kann, wo man ein Barsch anbieten.
00:40:40 Kylos versuchen, was er kann, aber GG. Sie wollen diese Kills. Sie müssen 3-KP sein. Wenn sie nur die LOS sind, die in die Zone und in die Cascade sind, müssen sie sich able zu cleanen. Ich was wondering, ob der Blast war, dass er durch seinen Dark Veil geht. Und der Dark Veil geht, und es ist einfach, als es geht. Die Kürtchen ist offen, und es ist viel zu warten. Oh, BPR-Gone.
00:41:09 Leit's got to be careful here. He has the port back towards his team. Just about manages to do it. They were a little bit low in resources the way they were sharing things around and they still have some distance to go. No surprise to see them opting for the Newcastle in their composition in game number one as well. We know that Lufka is one of the best Newcastles in the world.
00:41:29 Let's see how this Lobby plays out with Legendbands as to how long they're going to be able to play it for. Unlucky, Hackes and Effective Alliance, though, who have already got a huge amount of KP at the start of this game. They are that team who's pressuring them in Cascades. Let's go next. Having got back up to three, find themselves at two again. Find themselves at two and also in a terrible position right now. Look how far they have to go and traverse this map to get to the next zone. It is a matter of just trying to survive.
00:41:54 Maybe you have to change your style here, maybe you just have to try and feel like you're paying for some kills, but you're just getting pressured from every angle. Everybody wants a piece to go next, but Henchman's back on his feet somehow, so with the E-Vac going down, they're gonna try and escape this. Are they gonna be able to spy out that this is a duo below them, A and X? If they can, they might be able to pick up the KP, but Clinder's gone down as well.
00:42:19 Es ist ein bisschen messer für sie, sie bekommen die Kills, aber jetzt die Zone ist ein Problem für sie. Sie waren nicht able, die E-Vac zu haben, die E-Sport zu halten sie. Die E-Sportler haben 14 jetzt gehalten, und Gonex haben sie die langweiligen. Sie treffen einige Teams, die sind schon da und warten. Eine von ihnen ist Allianz, und sie versuchen auch zu bleiben. Hackers hat bereits gewonnen, Unlucky ist auch zu fallen, aber Effekt ist still alive, und das bedeutet, dass es immer noch eine Chance gibt. Cybercancel ist die Katwahl.
00:42:50 Die Zonen sind nicht so gut für sie. Die Zonen sind nicht so gut für sie. Die Zonen sind nicht so schwer für sie zu bekommen. Die Zonen sind nicht so schwer für sie zu bekommen. Die Zonen sind nicht so gut für sie zu bekommen.
00:43:14 Cybercats go down. By the way, where the circle's moving, not a lot of playable space. All the teams are currently outside of the next zone, so everyone's gonna have to fight their way in. So there's gonna be some big fights that happen when people realize that. Maybe you have to take as much space as possible and might need a little bit of aggression, but this is where you can pick up some big points as well, because there are some vulnerable teams in these spaces, teams that have just been able to force themselves into zone and don't necessarily have the same kind of cover.
00:43:43 So Na'Vi, by the way, who we mentioned is third time lucky for them, trying to get anywhere near the zone. Well, they're just outside of it. They're still alive and they're almost in the top ten. GGL's going to find one on the light, but that's going to be an easy-looking reset. Maybe not, they're going to swing them. And that's GGL. They are not going to be able to reset. A really, really good push. Nemesis will fall as well on Atlas. It might be a team to watch this season in the EMEA Pro League.
00:44:09 Find some nice KP and much importantly I think for them it was very efficient in the way that they cleaned that fight up without taking any knocks themselves.
00:44:18 You're already seeing some impressive fights from some of these teams. You always wonder where the nerves are going to be on show in the first games of Pro League, but some of these squads are not demonstrating that whatsoever. This is the kind of so-called I was looking at, you know? Danish, they have to try and traverse from the south-east here and force their way past two teams. It's going to be like gladiators. Can you actually get past the first? And if you do, there's just going to be a second there waiting for you. But it has to happen soon. Zone's going to start tickling their back.
00:44:45 Q is going to go down as well, just to try and hold them up a little bit more. They want to try and delay that push across. Na'Vi still on the bottom as well, so any damage taken by either team, top or bottom, there's a third party opportunity that could present itself. Danish now, we saw them win that fight against Chi Chi, but now they've got to try and win a fight and do some damage on their way towards Zone. Trifold Thor's going to find one for them, that's going to create something, but Atlas will be eliminated as Na'Vi now, somehow or other, into the top eight.
00:45:10 ...ein der Top 8 und einfach zu überleben. Die Newcastle ist so wichtig hier. Und so wichtig für ihre Survival. Jetzt haben sie die Shield, sie können sie durchführen. Und jetzt haben sie die Team zu der right. Na'Vi ist sehr gut hier.
00:45:38 19th respectively, and now in the top 3 Theratanaschi go down, Thadis go down
00:45:45 Das war's. Das war's. Das war's. Das war's.
00:46:11 Well, an explosive endgame there. It slowed down for a short while as everyone was trying to creep towards the zone. And it was almost a heroic attempt from Na'Vi as well. They were almost eliminated in 20th position and then somehow get to the top three. I think I said, you know, that's Apex. You can go from hero to zero, but they did not quite go down. They kept fighting and they showed that champion mentality to get into the top three.
00:46:36 Ja, sehr, sehr impressive. Es fühlt sich wie es die Klasse, die Navi-Kurse, aber nicht meine Worte, sondern nur deine Worte. Aber es fühlt sich wie es vielleicht was, dass es sich wieder einmal wieder auf der ersten Klasse wird. Und dann die zweite Klasse, und wir haben gesagt, okay, vielleicht ist das nicht die Navi-Klasse wie wir expected. Wir sind in den Top 3.
00:46:53 von der Adversität, dass sie durchgeführt wurde. Sehr, sehr impressionante von ihnen. Aber es ist Forbidden, der kam auf den Topf, wenn es zu points kommt. 12 Punkte, of course, für das 1st-Place-Finisch. 6 Kp. Aber Ronin...
00:47:07 Ja, das ist eigentlich ein win für sie. Die meisten Punkte in der Lobby, Forbidden-Tick zuerst. Na'Vi bekommt das 3rd-Place. Und dann ist es ein guter Average für diejenigen, die in den Top-9 gewinnen sind. Of course, es geht ein bisschen weiter.
00:47:25 Wenn du in den zweiten Halten gehst, ist es, wenn du in den zweiten Halten gehst, wenn du in den zweiten Halten gehst. Although Allianz, 4kp, consistency ist alles. Durch die Pro-League ist, natürlich, dass du auch viele Punkte hast. Und wenn du eine DUD-GAME hast, wenn du nur 5-6 Punkte hast, dass du dich da bist, in der Gespräche. Das ist nicht der Ende der Welt für Allianz. Es ist meistens eine schlechte Zeit, wenn du 0 Punkte hast, wenn du ehrlich bist.
00:47:49 Top tier analysis. Zero points, not good. Michael would be very proud of that. If you notice in the top right as well, you just saw the next legend to be banned, who won't be available for the next game is Ashe. So there will be no Ashe available due to the pick rate in that game number one, kind of following on what we expected to see from Scrimsdown. Yes, I think Ashe has just been the most popular legend in game one, is so integral to some of these compositions for her abilities to kind of...
00:48:16 Enter fights quickly, exit fights quickly, and just, well, she's damn fun to play, let's be quite honest. I think we've all had a run with her in Ranked, but not going to see her for the rest of this lobby, sadly, as she's going to be banned in Game 1. But that leads to, you know, who comes next? Do we see a wraith start to be added a little bit more? Are people going to start to head for another Assault character, for example? So I'm intrigued to see where we go. Yeah, it's very interesting to see what these bands are going to be, and we'll of course find out when we get back.
00:48:44 From this break, as game number two is just around the corner, we're heading back to Storm Point in just a few moments.
00:50:50 He was late today as well, camera broken
00:51:15 By the way, I like how you're getting closer and closer to me. I'm trying, man. They said basically get as close to Mark as possible so that you can have a great time casting with them. I can't. You know, at the end of the day, it's a new year, guys. We're getting back into it. Huge, huge plays, though, Mark. Walk me through kind of what happened.
00:51:41 Obviously, with Dan here in this final circle.
00:52:10 Ja, ich meine, das ist großartig. Du hast die PSG-Teams, Ronan, vorhin kommen in und haben einen Erfolg in diese Early Moments mit Year 5. Das ist eine große Sache, um das Gefühl zu haben. Und ich denke, Ash, ich meine, eine andere Konversation für diejenigen, ich meine, sie hat Spaß.
00:52:39 We all played her in our rink games. It's true. Like, Ash has been the kind of story of the last maybe month or two. Obviously, she got so buffed to the point where they actually had to tune that down, get a little bit of nurse. But now that she's gone, Mark, where does that leave us, you know, heading into it? I mean, obviously, we've seen different bands, different play styles. But, you know, with 90% of a pick rate, I mean, a lot of these teams already have to have an understanding of where they're going next.
00:53:01 Ja, understandably so. I think the wonderful thing about the timing of Legend Bands coming in right now is that every Legend is viable at the moment. With TTK, with everything that kind of combines together, every Legend is genuinely viable to play. Even, you know, you look at Privacy's tier list and some of the ones down at the bottom, you could probably still play them and get away with them. It's not like it's so out of reach that you're not going to be able to do any damage with it. But I think when you're looking at, you know, Ash falling out...
00:53:26 It's one of your aggressive fragging characters, right? So you're going to look to replace with something that's going to fulfill the composition. So you're probably going to look at something like Wraith coming in. And I've got to say, I've been having so much fun playing Wraith recently. How have you felt about her queue changes? How have you felt about that? I absolutely love it. You get that perk where you reduce the wind-up time at 30%. It just feels like Wraith used to. You can get into battles. You can be annoying. You can queue out.
00:53:54 Portal on to third parties. You have that rotational ability. I really do feel like Wraith is like, everyone started to fuel Wraith again. And like the old Wraith players as well, you can tell. Like they're pretty happy to be back on that character and she's playable again. So I think Wraith is certainly what I would expect to see come in to fulfill some of those, that role that Ashe has moved out. Kind of a similar pattern in what you can do with the abilities.
00:54:16 Yeah, obviously taking a look, you know, at what we have in store with our next map at Storm Point for the first three. We got three more. After that, a little halftime recap. We got some fun segments coming up at halftime. So, by the way, chat, YouTube, Twitch, stay tuned. You know, we've got some good things. We're adjusting in year five and continuing to try to incorporate more and more of you. But Eat District, that's going to be fun. And, of course, Ash.
00:54:42 Ich sehe sie, sie ist BANN jetzt. Und das ist eine Assault-Klasse BANN. Aber Marc, wirklich, die kind of flavor von der letzten, ich würde sagen, WEEK, die, du und ich, du und ich, haben schon ein paar Zeit in dieser neuen Patch. Ich bin sicher, viele von euch, haben schon ein paar Zeit in der neuen Patch. Die Skirmishers, Wraith, nicht nur die Frage, dass sie eine Queue fühlt sich, sie hat ein paar Upgrades.
00:55:03 Das ist ja, ich meine, das ist ja, wenn ihr Pathfinder, zum Beispiel, der nicht so popular ist, in Comp at the moment...
00:55:23 Ich bin Rangt, wenn du ein Team in ein Team bekommst, dann bekommst du ein Nog. Wenn du ein Wraith gehst, dann bekommst du ein Nog. Du Ques, dann bekommst du ein bisschen Zeit, während du Teammates kommen. Es ist so ein starkes Ding. Und es ist ein Health Regen. Du bekommst ein Nog, du bekommst ein Health Regen. Du bekommst ein Team. All diese Dinge machen die Skirmisher-Class so viel mehr appealable.
00:55:44 Das war's für mich. Es war's für mich. Es war's für mich. Es war's für mich. Es war's für mich. Es war's für mich. Es war's für mich. Es war's für mich. Es war's für mich. Es war's für mich. Es war's für mich. Es war's für mich.
00:56:06 One of the best things about a new year is a new look, a new opportunity to continue expanding, a journey that is beginning. And yet we all know that with Apex, somehow we find a way to end even better than we started each and every year. Year 4 in Sapporo, now Year 5 here online as we kick it off. Game 2 out of 6.
00:56:34 für EMEA. Die Champions sind in dieser Zone. Will die Champions be crowned jetzt wieder hier? Wir sehen uns, ob Nadis Vinciar kann die Pace picken. Als wir ein bisschen schauen, über Mill.
00:56:49 Beautiful mill. I still love the thatch work they did. It's just gorgeous. You know what I mean? It's like Apex Legends in general, you look at the maps. It's a lot of industrial feel. Somebody kept it old school. Kept that craft alive. It's so true. Zero nothing and forbidden second place overall in the lobby. And grabbing that scout. We've seen a lot of P20s.
00:57:13 But pretty much if you're jumping into Apex as well, and we've kind of gotten into this, it's just everything has been buffed. That's kind of been the state of the game so far. All SMGs, extra bullet inside each level of ammo, from blue to the base mag.
00:57:31 All the way up to purple tiers. G7 also got a little bit of attack speed buff as well. But, you know, P20s, 30-30, headshot bonuses. These things have been kind of what we've seen a lot so far. Zero-nothing with the G7, though, with already a purple barrel. Gonna keep that one for sure. Yeah, good points on the board. 18 points, first game, four for bidding. If you're wondering where the zone is going, by the way, I've got you covered. It's my favorite zone for a number of reasons. And this one is a little bit of a behind-the-scenes reason. Right, okay. You ready for this?
00:57:59 So, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about here. We have a wonderful floor manager at the ALGS Events called Mark. We do. He's Scottish. Hearing him say launchpad is one of life's great pleasures, is all I would say, in his strong, strong Scottish accent. So, if you're at the event, I'm just saying, if you see him, just ask him to say...
00:58:22 What's your favorite POI? Launchpad. I would say he would love the shoutout, but he's obviously at a Celtic game right now, so he's not watching. More than likely. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah. Celtic may not even play, but he's still, you know.
Frühe Spielzüge und Team-Rotationen
00:58:37
00:58:37 Just walking around outside the ground waiting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout out to everybody behind the scenes. I mean, there's really nothing like it. New Orleans, May 1st to 4th. You guys make sure to come out. It is the best to be live with us as you see that devastated coast launch pad kind of pull towards the south. And Navi already in a little bit of duress here. It's Hierarcha, almost down to nothing. Hits a quick shield cell, excuse me, and tries to stay alive as they're under pressure.
00:59:03 Yeah, this is going to be a really good play from the Newcastle there. Jaco slammed up onto the height to get an angle behind one isolated player, which was MG Clutch, which has now allowed Navi to just reset a little bit. He gets that nod. They get the finish now to 2v3. And the team on the other side of this just can't afford to push it. However, they've got to be careful because Danish are around the area as well looking for these pieces. So it's an interesting one. I'm really interested, by the way, how certain teams are rotating so quickly.
00:59:32 Es ist eine große Rolle. Es ist eine große Rolle. Es ist eine große Rolle. Es ist eine große Rolle.
00:59:56 Heading into kind of the new version of how Apex looks. Big Crypto ult as well. Tempo always found by Kay Sweeney somehow. Dan said it's not a pro league without Kay Sweeney, I agree. And he knows it as well. Infinite trying to fire some shots and say, well, let's get Kay Sweeney out of this. Another headshot as well. You see why the 33 is so on point here. As Infinite with eight points trying to climb up a little bit higher in the rankings. Yeah, welcome back to the Peter. Peter is back for sure.
01:00:25 A couple of knocks going down elsewhere, by the way. I want to say Shoutout to Chaotic as well. You may know from previous C9 rosters over in NA. Back in EU now. His accent will feel more at home.
01:00:36 GG moving up the hill a little bit more away from this zone. They're chasing down Forbidden, the winners of game number one, and you can see exactly why. They get that knock onto Aku, which is not just going to be a KP, but it's going to be the winners of game number one, now very much on the back foot. Last being highlighted here is so much of his story has been on display in year four. It's been amazing to see what GG have done over the course of last year, Mark. I mean, really a team that...
01:01:06 We hadn't talked about until last year. And then now suddenly is kind of the main focal point of EMEA conversation. I mean, they're so good, so consistent, and they perform well at LAN. Obviously haven't got that final win, but I think if you look back to Japan and you go, go next, I think a team that you also feel like outside of Alliance and EMEA that could have lifted that trophy easily, GG. Yeah, I have to agree with you. I think it was a breakout year for...
01:01:29 Not just the players, because I think people forget that Lufka was so close to winning a LAN previously as well. On the Ascend roster, you know, the moment that everybody knows and loves. If you're a TSM fan, maybe not if you're an Ascend fan, an EMEA fan, but very, very close a couple of times now to being one of those EMEA players to break through and lift that trophy. By the way, Zone is packed right now. Absolutely packed. We've got a lot of teams down Devastate Coast. We've got teams still over Launchpad as well.
01:01:58 Und es wird ein sehr interessantes Endgame geben. Es wird ein sehr ähnliches, was wir in Game 1 gesehen haben. Jeder wird in die Zone schnell und schnell und schnell wie möglich. Der einzige Team, die in der Momenten sind, war Exoclan, die wir jetzt an den Souten sind, die wir schon ein bisschen earlier gesehen haben. So 19 Squads still reigned, wenn ich nicht so.
Wraith's Popularität und Team-Strategien im späteren Spiel
01:02:18
01:02:18 So Wraith has come in 65% pick right now. That's a great call man. I mean right on the money Wraith being used. MG Clutch now needs to clutch it up. Choco kind of pressuring the issue as he should. Trying to find an angle here. Our most recent champions in Sapporo just a few months ago. 600k richer to the name. And of course these guys feeling not only that.
01:02:46 und auch die Werteilung der Trophäe in Apex Legends. 10 Punkte. Obvious, was du brauchst. MG Collections, Jayhanzo. Und GG!
01:02:57 Getting involved in it's a little bit of a distraction and actually allows All of these teams have got to make way and just ignore each other a little bit. It's too much going on Yeah, I think Ronin went down to two zero tenacity Excuse me, I've just been eliminated from the lobbies the second team But yeah, that kind of actually worked out a little bit for Ronin cuz they're down to two and we're trying to head back towards being to get a craft Of those banners and get back in the game. So the fact that they
01:03:24 Das war ein Team mit Trident, die wahrscheinlich panikten und gesagt haben, wir müssen zu gehen. Das hat sich wohl gut gemacht. Aber sie waren nicht auf Trident und sie hatten zu kämpfen. Das wäre wahrscheinlich ein GG für sie.
01:03:34 Und natürlich, Sie können sehen, dass sie diese Linie sind. Sie sind von der edge-Position. Und Zidane ist zu tun, was für sie in den letzten Jahren worked. Frick ist hier, als wir auf Dänisch gehen. Sie spielen auf das Wraith, jetzt dass Ash ist. Und Krypto ist auch. Wahrscheinlich ein Charakter, das nicht für eine lange Zeit wird. Das ist ein element von dieser Komposition, aber es ist bereits ein Tast.
01:04:03 A bit of a kill, Sherb as well. Tricks goes down, it's just Fricks. Looks like this could be the end. Yeah, Vushy was really good shots actually coming out there. He's actually trying to move in to make this all his own. He's gonna... You see that the EMP went down to try and buy some time, but the counter EMP also goes down, which just makes this a very, very difficult reset. And it's more about survivability now for them. Elsewhere?
01:04:25 Ronin und Forbidden haben einen kleinen Look at Death Boxen und diese werden von der Beziehung von Forbidden von den looksenken. Na'vi haben wir jetzt einen Blick auf das ansehen. Haben Sie das auch gehört? Oder haben sie eigentlich gehört? Oder haben sie einfach gehört? Oder haben sie einfach gehört? Oder haben sie einfach gehört? Das Evo? Das ist vielleicht eine der Situation, wo es so, oh, wir gehen für Evo und dann all of a sudden, du hast du fighten. Und das ist das, was passiert jetzt. Ende des 1820s. Und ein Dream. No mehr a meme hier. Die Dominanz von Zidane in so viele verschiedene Versionen. Was ein All-Star.
01:04:54 Und Apex Legends Esports, jetzt ein Champion. Und versucht es jetzt wieder zu machen. Rundt in den Newcastle Wall, aber es ist sehr stolz, aber es ist sehr stolz. Und versucht es zu stoppen. Hier geht's Valkyrie. Tactical in-between, und Zidane geht's down. Es ist MG Clutch und Ronin, die finder die killen. Ich habe mich für den 3rd-Party hier. Ich habe mich für den 3rd-Party. Aber es sieht man, dass sie wieder zurückkommen sind. Aber es sieht man, dass sie wieder zurückkommen sind. Sie sind gesund genug zu halten, dass sie auf die Zip-Line kommen. Aber ich muss sagen...
01:05:22 Ich meine, 2v1-ing in Apex.
01:05:49 Let's take a listen in with Alliance, see how they're going to manage this fight.
01:06:20 Ich habe zwei Q's in my back.
01:06:35 Das ist in der Castle, 2.
01:07:05 Ja, ich komme zurück, ich komme zurück
Allianz überlebt und Atlas' Portal-Strategie
01:07:31
01:07:31 Voidnext is possible here for Alliance if they need to take it, but so far so good. The P20s doing more work than a G7 scout at that range mark. They feel confident with not only those Legend picks, but also those weapon picks as well. Yeah, I'm down to rename the P20s to the P120s, because if you hit anything under 120, you're not a good enough player to be in this lobbyist.
01:07:52 Ich glaube, dass die Voiid-Nexus sehr gut ist.
01:08:20 Hey, Rupiah, great shot coming in again. Ballistic ultimate as well, giving faster reloads, infinite ammo, and the ability for their team to move faster also. One of the benefits of effects having that, and you can pop it in a way that, you know, feels a little bit more... I would say like you feel almost you can waste it, right? It's one of those ultimates that you don't want to waste it, but you can use it liberally, and at the end of the day, maybe they did...
01:08:46 Ja, das ist ja, das ist ja. Ja, das ist ja.
01:09:11 Ja, ich meine, die enemy ist mein Freund.
01:09:36 Ihr wisst, dass die Team nicht auf dich schwingt, weil sie nicht auf die Pressure haben. Lines ist jetzt zurück zu 3. EFFECT versucht es zu tun, ohne eine Shield zu tun. Geht! Geht! Geht! Geht! Weil EFFECT ist hier! Das ist das, was er machte. Er machte das Headshot. Und er machte das Ding auf, das ist die Situation der Ende.
01:09:56 Für Alliance now looks like the beginning of their story, and they're looking in prime position here now to have a chance at Game 2. Yeah, Faye's eliminated in the meantime. Atlas looks like they're in a bad spot as well, but let's take a second to appreciate Alliance. That's the second time we've seen them in a situation in two games where you felt like surely they die here, and they somehow managed to survive. Ronin's just looking for some KP here. Q gonna come in from MG Clutch as he tries to just survive for a few extra seconds, but he's inside the zone here. In Zone 4, he's gonna find somewhere to play, somewhere to try and survive.
01:10:26 G-Dolk wird das 1-V-1 gewinnen und das ist der Ende von Rohde.
01:10:32 G-Dolphin bringt die Erfahrung, genauer genauer, wie er ist. Er hat sich in Battle Royale schon immer, besonders in Apex. Er macht großartig content, hosts Tournaments und natürlich jetzt in Pro League. Wir werden ihn über den nächsten 10 oder so haben. Es wird sehr, sehr spannend sein. Er wird immer weiterentwickelt, mit Atlas, der neue Squad. Alter Portal ist hier dabei, und Marc, besonders auf die Allianz und wie in der Fall ist, das ist.
01:11:00 der Atlus-Portal, der Void-Nexus, der Survivability, die Option zu resetten, zu haben, eine Nox-Team-Mate zurück zu haben. Es ist wirklich ein... Du hast es nicht gesagt, es ist die falsche Worte, Janz ist hier, aber es ist so Impactful, dass Jadolfen immer noch zu spielen, auf der Staircase-Low-Ground. Und sie versuchen hier zu empfehlen, um sie zu finden, um sie mit den P-20 zu finden. Die Atlus wird ein paar mehr zu den Talent.
01:11:27 Ja, ich mag dieses Spiel auch. Sie wissen, wie busy es war, in und über die Gebäude waren, die sie in den Launchpad waren, also dass es ein Isolated Fight war, dass sie das Spiel spielen können, um das Spiel zu spielen, und dann schauen, um ein bisschen mehr Platz zu spielen. Die Catwoll ist auch ein bisschen zu spielen. Die Evac geht auch, die Evac geht auch, was sie werden müssen, um sich ein bisschen zu nutzen, um die Zone zu bewegen. Aber es ist extra KP, es ist extra Placement für sie, und ich wirklich mag das Rekognition, wie isoliert das Team war, als wir sehen, dass ein Catwoll ist, das vielleicht...
01:11:55 Es ist nicht so lange, wie es ihr wollt. Diese Dinge passieren auch. Wenn ihr Apex spielt, ihr wisst genau wie es ist. Aber in diesem Level, ihr könnt nicht mehr Raum für Mistake. Verbennend ist das jetzt, als Slab geht es um. Aktuell ist ein bisschen weg. Hits die Schild-Batterie, aber geht es um, zu den P-20-Push! Allianz! Eliminated! Atlas ist still... ...moving in von diesem...
G-Dolphin's Aufstieg und die Endphase des Spiels
01:12:19
01:12:19 und finden sich auf der anderen Seite auf der Zone zu finden, kann man auch noch mehr Platz geben? G-Dolphin, vielleicht eine Secondary Storyline hier in diesem Spiel, hat jetzt vielleicht become die Primärinheit. Wenn sie das Team in frontieren können, dann haben wir ein guter Platz zu Ende. Ja, sie haben einen guten Kp, sie haben eine gute Position hier, sie haben die High-Ground, sie haben auch ein paar Spieler auf den Low-Ground und das ist genau was sie tun. Sie müssen sehr bewusst sein, dass sie das Team auf den Fokus aufhalten.
01:12:46 At the moment, if they can do that, again, they clear their backs. That's what they tried to do previously that worked out for them. Nemesis eliminated in the meantime. We're into a top 10, making top 9 as Alex will be the next to fall. Legion Gaming still up north as well. Next to BPR, it's the team inside. Kyla, Optimus Vigil trying to push, make something happen. It feels like that's a desperation push there. Sees something, Black Venom goes down as well on Atlas. It's a 2v2. Slayers getting the kill there, formerly with Kay Swinney.
01:13:15 und Füda mit einem anderen Exo-Klan, jetzt eine andere BPR. Und G-Dolph ist einfach auf der Wraith. Er hat die Queue in Hand. Er hat die Portal. Er hat die Situation. Es fühlt sich auf die Situation, Marc. Aber es ist so gut zu Reset. Der New Newcastle-Wall geht um. G-Dolph geht's der Pool. Er hat Vuchy auch. Er hat die Queue in der Voigt. Das ist ein bisschen ein sketchy position für sie, aber...
01:13:43 Es ist nicht möglich, Stay Healthy wird in der Top 3 sein.
01:14:04 Und das ist Atlas.
01:14:31 Und das Cyber-Cat ist weg mit Top 5.
01:14:57 Von hier wollen wir, wie du gesagt hast, mit einem Top-3-Denken, aber auch mit KP. Und es sieht aus wie sie genau das machen. Ja, ein guter Spot. Für StayHealthy hat es, hat die Call. Und ein Teil von Apex ist, dass es diese Callen ist. Diese Zonen sind die Sprengung, sie verstehen, sie praktizieren. Und am Ende des Tages gibt es zwei verschiedene Versionen. Somebody, wie StayHealthy, die sich in die Position befindet, und jemand, wie...
01:15:19 G-Dolphin, I use it with Atlas, because we just saw it onscreen, just kind of trying to navigate. Now we're in a situation we don't want to be in. We don't know how to operate here. Let's do the best with what we have. That was a great spot. Bottom two, three placement points. But now at the end of the day, you're seeing the strongest positions, infinite, stay healthy, have really a commanding lead here. You aim also alive for Bidden as well, as well as Danish, who's in the corner as a trio. No one really paying attention to them, but alive and well in the top five.
01:15:49 Nae für Steil.
01:16:16 Four squads left. Stay healthy. Third place in the entire lobby. Alter Portal there to be taken if they want. But also getting Vision potentially. And the swing is real. Stay healthy. Not healthy anymore as Infinite turns it around onto them. Yeah, Queen and Kizarone trying to survive now. Zero nothing will fall. Also, as now it's just Artico and you aim. Claiming the victory. We told you that no one was paying attention to them. Well, better look up.
01:16:44 Denn sie sind die Champions von Game 2.
01:17:13 Für die Leute, 3v2 ist eine Situation, Sie werden sie nicht sehen, sehr oft zu sehen. Und ich glaube, UAM, du hast einen tollen Punkt für die Leute zu sehen. E-Sports ist oft eine sehr volatile Industrie. Wenn man die macro-aspektive macht, Teams stehen für mehr als ein Jahr, das ist relativ rare. Even in Apex E-Sports, wir haben schon...
01:17:34 Es ist ein Element, das ist rarer zu sehen.
01:18:03 Ja, ich wirklich will, dass diese Leute qualifizieren. Ich muss ehrlich sagen, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will,
01:18:29 I wonder what Alters is as well, I gotta say, as we get a look at the series results. It's like looking through a dictionary of words. It is. It's so cool though, but it's also, it is a little bit of a dictionary as well. You know, when you have like six Legends or nine when you start out, but now the game has 20, you know, it feels like Legends at least. You start to lose track of some of these kind of sub.
01:18:53 Ja, wir sind in 3D. Wir sind in 3D. Wir sind in 3D.
01:19:22 Wir sehen uns wieder auf E-District.
01:20:01 I'm the protector of the weak, defender of the just, and lifter of damn heavy swords.
01:20:55 Ich werde meine Worte aus einer Stone bekommen, aber ich werde noch arbeiten.
01:21:30 Sony Inzone, the official monitor of the Apex Legends Global Series.
01:21:48 I did enjoy both simultaneously, actually. It was good to watch the game with a small cup of tea. But now we have to talk about what's going to happen with these compositions, Marc, because as you alluded to, we lose Wraith, so now who do we see banned? Now Catalyst is probably going to be the next up to be banned, I would have thought, because I think she was very close to being...
01:22:17 So maybe we see a few more alters start to pop up. We have seen Bangalore be a pick in EMEA, which is not something we've seen in the Americas. So we'll have to see whether that pops up. Well, let's take a look at the final circle from that game number two on Stormpoint, finishing right down in the southern western side of the map.
01:22:37 Es ist Infinite, die wir in diesem Spot haben, für ein paar Zeit zu nehmen, um FG in front of sie zu nehmen. Vorbittig Game, by the way, haben sie gute Punkte, um sie wieder einmal zu haben, weil sie ein bisschen ein starkes Start zu diesem Spiel haben. Aber wenn wir über die P20s haben, können wir nicht vergessen, wie Devastating the Havoc kann sein. Und dann, wenn man Havoc hat, ist es immer gut zu haben P20s, weil...
01:22:55 Just think of the output of damage. They go down to two, unfortunately, and it was a simple job to just move in in the 3v2 at the end of this. But Euane, one of the teams, like we mentioned, not making that change in the offseason, all coming back together to play in this split and looking to make it a statement season for them, as we can see here. One more match on Stormpoint before we head over to E-District. And I like that you mentioned, you know, I really want to see...
01:23:18 Alter be available by E-District. And I think everyone would like that. And it should happen. I don't think Alter will get banned here. I think it's more likely to be Catalyst. But again, we'll wait and see when these compositions are actually picked. But you can see how games 1 and 2 finished and where the bans came through. We lose Ashe, we lose Wraith, and we won't see them for the rest of today. But one more game on Stormpoint. A chance for those teams who did prioritize Stormpoint in their POI draft, which was pretty much everyone, I may add.
01:23:46 Das ist die letzte Möglichkeit, die Punkte zu bekommen. Und da ist die Wahrnehmung von den Bans zu kommen. Wir verlieren unseren ersten Skirmisher. Weil das bedeutet, dass wir nicht die Ashe zurück in Game 6 bekommen haben. Es ist eine kleine Möglichkeit, wenn jeder Assault-Charakter wurde, dass sie wieder zurückkommt. Das ist nicht passiert. Aber wenn wir zu Match Point kommen, bis wir nach der Linie kommen, bis wir in den Open kommen, etc.
01:24:08 Es wird so interessant sein, wenn wir zu einem Match 10 sehen, was diese Bands sehen und die Compositions sind. 10 Teams sind auf Match Point und wir sehen, wie ich in der Topf der Show habe, ich fühle mich alle, aber ich würde gerne einen Match 13 sehen, mit den weirdesten Comp's we've ever gesehen haben, wie jemand mit Vantage gewinnen oder so. All Pound, Vantage und Mirage. Ja, und wenn das passiert, by the way...
01:24:34 We maybe do have a script, but it's not going to happen. But yeah, I mean, the legend bans, like you see, Ash is gone, Wraith is gone, and I mentioned how it kind of changes things a little bit. You've got to think about what both of those legends offer. Very similar, right? You've got Ash, who has the dash, and the portal available. You have Wraith, who has jumping into the void to stay alive, and also that portal available. So those rotational abilities...
01:25:00 Ja, ich sehe ein paar Bangs.
01:25:20 Trying to manually count it here and there. I'll try and get a number for you a little bit later. But definitely Bangalore has been included from a lot of these teams at the moment. And again, you talk about rotational ability. The smoke is going to help you just cut off some of those sightlines and move forward. So it is understandable. And also the movement and the speed of Bangalore being offered to those same players who like to play Wraith, who like to play Ashe. It does make a little bit of sense. Like I said, not something we see as much in Americas, but something that has been somewhat prevalent.
01:25:49 in Amir. Now, can Uem go back to back? Can they find even more points to hurtle themselves up the leaderboards here? Very successful. And well, there you go. There's all the legends for you. Quick math. Try and work out who's going to get banned next. I'll give a shout out to the graphics team, by the way, who have put together new graphics for this season. Everything looks so clean. You know what I mean? Like everything is so digestible. Oh, wonderful stuff. I'm enjoying it. Hopefully everyone who's watching at home right now is enjoying it as well.
01:26:15 For a team like Ronin, they're going to enjoy where this zone is going. It's looking like it's pulling out right towards the back of the kind of eastern side of the mill towards Cenote. We do see those rock finishes. Godspot probably going to be there, but difficult to play very, very, very early. So don't be surprised to see teams trying to play for those rock formations just to the north of Cenote. Might pull in a little bit later. Could be a Zone 3 kind of game. Hit that beacon Zone 3. Find Zone 3 and play off that.
Bans, Team-Positionierung und Strategien
01:26:42
01:26:42 My quick math would suggest that Catalyst is going to be banned next. Don't quote me on it. I trust you. I trust you. 13 teams with Catalyst and just slightly less. I think 10 or 11 with Bangalore. So we'll lose Cat most likely. Confirmation from behind the scenes. Yeah, Cat 13, Bangalore at 11. And that means we'll lose her. But that does mean we get a little bit more bang action, which is not something I was necessarily expecting, but the Cybercats are not opting.
01:27:08 für eine Bang. Sie werden noch ein Alter und die Good News, Marc, haben wir einen Alter für E-Distri. Wir all love ein bisschen Bang-Action und das ist was wir in diesem Spiel sehen. Wir sehen schon ein Smokes! Distracting some LOSs, Cybercats, die haben etwas von einem quieten Start gehabt. Es ist ein Team zu sehen, in diesem Spiel zu sehen. Es gibt so viele Spieler in dieser Linie, wie wir vorher gesehen haben. Taskmaster ist immer da, wenn es zu Topfraggen ist, die Ender-Splitzen sind.
01:27:34 So we see Zero Tenacity make their way into Cenote. Reinen have stayed by Cenote as well. They did have a ring console at Cenote, which is going to give them the info where that second zone is going to be pulling. Danish are playing out towards the eastern side of it. So it looks like a lot of teams are banking on it, pulling in towards Cenote, by the looks of things.
01:27:51 Yeah, looking at where the ring's going, I think that's going to be the judgment from most teams. We're going to see a lot of early movers, but that means there's going to be a couple of early fights, probably to fight for some of these more priority positions. And those who are going to arrive later just going to have to pick up the scraps of...
01:28:05 ...spots that are available to them. One of those being Danish. They're going to go for a big old southern Rote here to try and pull in from the south side of Cenote. And actually, they can go deep in and find a building to work with. And even though it might not pull all the way down here, this could guarantee them like a top 10, for example. So I don't hate this play. Yeah, going into the drone straight away as well, just to see what other spots a little bit deeper in zone might be available. This is a pretty smart, like...
01:28:30 Simple basic Apex Legends, but very smart. Also gonna be able to hit the UAV, which is gonna give them info on what buildings are free, so it's not just gonna be manually kind of scanning with the drone, it's... Hit the survey beacon, get the information, and see what is gonna be the next plan for them. Smart rotation from Danish. Hit Edge Zone, they know they're gonna have priority over a lot of other teams, and then kind of just inch your way in. You saw they were dropping the evac tower as well, just to be...
01:28:58 Maybe considering redeploying and finding a new spot to play, but they've noticed no one's really going to be shooting at them, so they'd be able to walk on up. Speaking of people trying to reposition, a few teams are now taking to the sky and desperately trying to get over other squads that have been able to beat them on foot. Now BPR, we've been able to check in with them a few times throughout, only two points at the moment and a very interesting composition to be used by them. Optimus fish 20.
01:29:27 Das ist all I'm going to say. Gaming Gunnyers! Good damage going in early for them. And that's going to be on to you, Aime. Winners of our game number two maybe not going to be able to repeat the same recipe here in game number three. GG send it on to them. They get two knocks. And it's going to be a reset rescue mission here for the last remaining member. Alter Port is going to be down. They're going to be able to escape for now.
01:29:51 Es ist interessant, dass ein paar Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton-Watton.
01:30:20 Showing our age again, Dan. We used to have a thing called carchers in, aren't we? We had to use our left foot to drive. We had to use our left foot to drive. Anyway, FK, you're gonna be good. GG on top of the rock formation I was mentioning. Right at the start of this game, there's gonna be a really good spot to play. Maybe not for the final, final endgame, but certainly a lot of KP to be picked up from this position. Everybody rotating in a little bit later who doesn't move from the southern side and comes in from the north side. Checking in elsewhere, just on our map overhead here, while GG just kind of surveying the area.
01:30:50 in front of them alliance who had a couple of really really good fights in the first couple of games but just the end game management their rotation in towards the final zone not quite there for them they're a good checkpoint at the moment we have a lot of info to play with they have a ring console they have a survey beacon there as well so they can plan their next stage of their rotate elsewhere just looking down the southern side you got alex esports are rotating from barrow exo and go next two drones about to collide in midair there air for air traffic control drone battles yeah
01:31:18 Wir haben schon gesagt, dass ein Blut von Krypto ist, dass ein Drone kann shoot werden können. Das ist gut. Oder würde es? Da ist ein Land, wo Onset war, über die Rotation kommen. Ich denke, über die Allianz zu sagen, dass sie ein Team einfach nur auf und haben eine große Spiel, und das ist deshalb immer ein sehr gefährliches Faktor zu sein. Aber sie müssen über Phase sein. Ich denke, dass Phase sind hinter ihnen.
01:31:42 Und Phaser wahrscheinlich auch wo Allianz ist. Jetzt geht's, die P-2020s sind auf der Exoclan auf der anderen Seite. Das ist ein wirklich gut Fuse-Alt, aber es ist gut. Der Fuse-Alt ist gut. Der erste Knoll ist nicht der Weg und der Exoclan ist ein bisschen der Momentum für sie. Wir sagten diese zwei Teams, wir haben einen Bump-Heads und es gibt nur einen Team, der Exoclan ist. Es ist Exoclan, alle healthy. Arsic hat viel Zeit, um die Batterie zu holen.
01:32:05 Gonext hat eine member, die jetzt übernommen hat, über die Looks-O-Thing. Es ist nicht der Ende des Spiel. Ich weiß nicht, ob sie das Ende des Spiel ist. Ich weiß nicht, ob sie es schlafen. Ich weiß nicht, ob sie den K.P., die Space nehmen, und dann weitergehen. Ich denke, das ist ein K.P. Das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K.P., das ist ein K
01:32:31 Wir sehen uns nach Fae's Clan. Sie waren sicher, dass sie hinter ihnen sind und sie versuchen sie zu holen. Wir schauen, ob sie sich die extra K.P. zu holen. Interessante Entscheidung hier von Allianz zu spielen für dieses Spiel. Sie waren auf Checkpoint. Sie haben all den Weg zu Downbeast. Ich weiß, ob das was für Evo-Evo? Ich meine, es gibt den Trident die Option.
01:32:56 Es gibt noch mehr Platz. Wenn sie nicht wollen, dann können sie auf die Zonen gehen. Sie können nicht auf die Zonen gehen. Sie können nicht auf die Zonen gehen. Sie können nicht auf die Zonen gehen. Das ist ein Problem auf der Rückseite. Mir ist es frei für sie auf die Zonen. Es gibt wirklich keine Zonen. Es gibt keine Zonen.
01:33:22 Ja, jeder muss schnell erneut werden, als sie das in der Zone 2 sehen können. Es ist eine der größten Werteilung auf Stormpoint. Es hat sie zu spielen und ein paar Teams verletzten zu spielen, denn es gibt Positionen, wenn sie nicht die besten sind, ihr könnt. Und dann sehen Sie, was die Lage der Land ist, könnt ihr ein Verzichter von einer Unbezichtung Position spielen.
01:33:45 Aber es werden diese Teams wie Legion, Exo, Allianz, BPR, alle Teams aus der Zone zu haben, werden sie in den Moment werden müssen, und diese Teams, die sie sicherlich sind, werden sie für ihre Position zu kämpfen, und das wird sicherlich sein. Das ist sicherlich zu entwickeln. OptimusFish20 ist... Das ist eine meiner Steam-Name. Ich kann nicht sagen, ob es einfach nur generatet ist, oder ob es generatet ist. Es ist generatet.
Allianz' Schwierigkeiten und das Finale in Cenote
01:34:13
01:34:13 I've now got my favourite player in the Epic Legends Global Series OptimusFish20 wins the ALG E5 Championship Never know Nobody said GoNexon's gonna win it Yep And here we are, living in that world Alliance then, we mentioned how they rotate towards Mill would be good They're gonna be safe inside this next turn They did hit their next rank console as well, so
01:34:36 Und wir hatten gedacht, dass wir das Rotation in planen haben. Das war wie wir es glauben. Aber das ist die Difficulty für sie jetzt. Wir arbeiten ihren Weg in. 19 Quads remaining in dieser Lobby. Nur die erste Elimination so far ist. Die Nummer 2 ist in 30 Sekunden. Ja, die Allianz sind nur halbwegs da. Sie müssen weitergehen. Es gibt zwei Teams im Moment. Es wird eine Frage, ob sie versuchen, ob sie von einem neuen Angle attackieren.
01:35:01 Whether they just try and cinch over the top of other teams. I think kind of was doing that thing that you used to do when you first got your driver's license, your mate tried to get in the car. You know what I mean? Just as they go to open the doors, pull away about five feet. Yowie!
01:35:16 Ich versuche, du hast das zu mir in-game gemacht. Das ist ein Klassiker. Es ist alles gut und gut, wenn es gut geht, und dann jemand schießt dich und klickt dich. Und dann ist es wie, oh, nein. Das ist das, was der Zone ist. Cenote ist, insofern, unser Final Location. Teams wie Danisch, die wir sehen, haben wir das Early Rotate gemacht. Sie sind in eine großartige Spot. Annex eSports, die wir also Rotate von der South haben, ein fantastisches Spot. Ronin, die wir hier auf Cenote haben, gut für sie, sie haben das Ring Konsole.
01:35:45 Die Nasky-Root und alle haben zu haben, wie wir in den letzten Szenen haben, als wir zum Cenote haben, keine Ring-Console haben, und dann haben sie in einem guten Platz. Es ist ein sehr guter Platz hier. A lot ist auf der westen Seite, um Cybercatsen zu bleiben. All diese Teams werden zu halten. Rotation wird es einfacher, als der Mythic Bin wird für Allianz geben. Und der Mann, der auf den Impossible, in der letzten Spiel...
01:36:12 Good news for Alliance is they do have a Newcastle, as do half the lobby. There's 10 Newcastles in the lobby, so there is going to be a lot of temporary barriers set up. Newcastle will go down so people can survive, and that might be another reason why we see so many teams still alive as well, with the amount of Newcastles people are being picked up, even if they get knocked.
01:36:39 Und das ist, die Leute zu empfehlen, weil die Angelegenheit der Nukastel ist. Ich glaube, es ist nicht so gut, dass die Gonext zu empfehlen ist, sondern es geht darum, zu empfehlen die Faze Clan zu empfehlen.
01:36:57 Oh, he's been very quiet so far. I only just hope two points on the board. When you look at this team on paper, it's got every single piece that you would want to put together to have a successful, not just game day, but season as well. Two of the best controller fragments. Synetic has proved himself as an IGL. Let's go next. Ascend the ropes towards the balloon and we'll take to the skies. Yeah, where'd you go? Where do you go?
01:37:26 Okay, they found a little slot, yeah, a little bridge. This often is the... Oh, where did that come from, Hackis? Says, thank you for arriving to my party. So the second shot here is going to have to deal with his fuse queue. The knock-loss is going to be annoying, but certainly not damaging. I like this from Hackis as well. You see, he puts down the port there, trying to drag the attention away. Now he can use it to not just portal through and get a good angle.
01:37:53 Und auch.
01:38:10 Into effect. Gets back up to red, but Alliance now find themselves down to just one. Puts the bat into himself, not into effect. That would be interesting, though, if you could do that. Instead, now Hakkis has to try and make some reses here, thanks to the portal. Does go down. And looks like Alliance have a chance to reset here. I think because they started that fight, a lot of teams started to look towards Alliance, and they just got caught in the crossfire. Well, Atlas have gone down. Hakkis is still alive somehow.
01:38:38 Es ist ein bisschen unkomfortabel, mit dem man ihn bewegt. Aber er ist still alive, als ist Kinder, in der Senote, oder eben außerhalb von ihm, ich würde sagen. GG! 1v1 geht um hier, die Tick-Down-Kat! Das wird die Lighten-Klutzer für sie.
01:38:54 Boy Nexus is going to go down as well as he's going to try and get his teammates a little bit closer to look to get him reset for them. GoNex now moving in on to GG. There's that spray from the P20s kind of. GoNex to have managed to get back up to a full complement. It's going to be two for him. He's looking for the third as well. Last is going to be eliminated. GG will go down in 16th. 15 squads now remain. Yeah, from nothing happening to suddenly everything. Four squads getting eliminated. It was a lot of teams that were on the outskirts of Cenote that were trying to force their way in.
01:39:23 So we have our winners of the outskirt battles, but now they have to do it all over again, because the teams who have found themselves centerzone and over to the southwest side of Cenote are just going to be kind of hearing all this commotion, looking around, and they'll be eagerly awaiting the arrival of more teams so that they can pick up some KP. Now one of the teams that does have to move in here is EXO. They're actually the furthest team east here, and they've got CyberCats and StayHealthy ahead of them.
01:39:48 Und ich weiß nicht, ob die Team daheimlich sind, dass Exo da sind, so sie vielleicht können sie hier schaden. Exo hat es versucht, wenn wir sie in sehen. Allianz, Glück ist zurück. Effekt ist zurück. Hackus hat eine Miracle gemacht. Skynade ist zurück, Effekt ist zurück. Effekt ist zurück. Sie müssen die EMP haben, das bedeutet, dass sie ein bisschen Zeit haben, die nicht aufzunehmen. Instead, Batterie ist in der Hand. Sie sind healthy, haben sich in der meantime verletzt. Wir sind zu 30, aber irgendwie oder andere... Allianz?
Allianz' Comeback und das Finale
01:40:17
01:40:17 As Infinite will fall as well, are still alive here. They're going to use the Q to get inside of this building. This is an insane rotate coming in from Alliance. This has been an ultra masterclass and really demonstrating why she is so important in some of these compositions. She's been able to keep Alliance alive on several occasions here, and now they should be able to fully reset and assess this scenario of how they actually get to the endgame. Go next, starting to lay down a little bit of suppression fire as well. Nemesis will fall, 11 squads now remain. Go next.
01:40:45 Ein Team, wie Allianz, hat sich ein ähnliches Rotation gehalten, als sie noch alive sind. Und sie haben K.P. auf der Weg zur Zone. Wir sind schon in den Zonen-Digit. Die Team sind noch 11 in der Lobby. Aber wie sie es auf Exo-Clan sind, wird es um 10 zu 10. Exo-Clan haben wir noch 10.
01:41:04 Ja, 10 squads, aber ein paar von ihnen sind. Es gibt über 5 von ihnen auf der eastern Seite. Sie wollen ein bisschen mehr. Sie wollen mehr Action, mehr KP. Und sie werden immer weitergehen. Und sie sind großartig. Cybercats eliminated, Legion Gaming gone down. Sie sehen, sie wollten zu EMP initially. Die Drone wurde destroyed. Das heißt, sie werden ein bisschen Zeit für die EMP kommen, um die Zonen zurückzuziehen. Und speaking of which...
01:41:30 Everybody's outside of it, except for two teams. And Danish, the one team who owns the entirety of this building. Now, it's not a building that can be shared. One team can play underneath, maybe one on top, but the actual inside area is going to belong to them. Six Catalysts left of these eight teams as well, by the way. So expect this to be very hectic. A lot of Dark Veils are going to be going down. A lot of people are not going to be able to see. Actually...
01:41:53 Excuse me, five Catalysts, because Effect is currently down. Unless they can get him back up, it would only be five Catalysts. But that means that anyone who is playing Catalysts are going to be very important in this endgame, because then they can dance through those walls and are not going to be impaired with their vision. I like this from Hackers, by the way. He sees two teams fight and he doesn't want to engage. He just wants to force them to take each other out. Cat walls have started to go down as we see the crosses. Make their mark.
01:42:19 Aufgrund von Stormpoint, Forbidden. Haku, auf seinem Weg. Er ist ein R9-Spring. Er ist ein 1v1 mit Jayanzo.
01:42:28 ... und Akku wird Clutch.
01:42:51 Sends out the Ulmer aus der Fuse zu versuchen, das Team zu versuchen, das Team zu bekommen. Navi4 wird in unsere Top 4. Henchman mit mehr KP hier für Go! Henchman just fired, he sprayed, he prayed and he was rewarded. Alliance still alive, Danish still in the building and Annex are on the south. They get the Reset Alliance, get the Reds! They get the Reds! They're gonna get that Catalyst I was speaking of. Effect is welcomed back into the lobby.
01:43:18 Ja, sie haben es. Aber werden sie ein bisschen focussen können? Weil viele Teams sind ein bisschen auf dem. Sie sind die einzige Team, die auf dem Souten sind. Nur drei Teams bleiben, weil...
01:43:40 Just saw the fourth eliminated. So Allianz is going to be on that north side. Danish are still within this building, but they are technically the closest to this circle. So in theory, they have to move last. But if you stay in that building too long, you could become the focus. This is always the thing with Apex Legends. When there are three teams left, how do you play this? Do you play for points? Do you go for second? Or are you thinking you are in a position to win this game? Well, Hackers, it looks like they might try and play for second here. They're certainly going to try and win this fight. It's isolated enough.
01:44:11 Aber wenn sie es schnell genug ist, dann werden sie es bewegen können. However, wir wissen, dass die andere Team werden überprüfen. Sie werden eine 3rd-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt. Ein paar Ports-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt-Fahrt
01:44:40 Ja, sie warten für einen Knochen, aber es ist nicht ein Wunsch für Annex jetzt. Sie haben jetzt einen Wunsch für Annex-E-Sport geholfen, aber niemand geht. Ja, sie warten für einen Knochen, aber es ist nicht ein Wunsch für Annex-E-Sport. Es ist nicht ein Wunsch für Annex-E-Sport, denn sie haben jetzt einen Wunsch für Annex-E-Sport geholfen. Sie sehen, dass es ein Wunsch für Annex-E-Sport gibt.
01:45:09 Effekt hat sich für ein Stick in die Queue zu finden, aber Effekt hat sich noch einen! Die Läden sind noch healthy hier!
01:45:19 Ja, gut patience initially von Annex.
01:45:43 Die Height, natürlich, aber ich hatte Angst, dass sie sich nicht mehr verletzten. Und es war ein, wie sie sich zuerst verletzten, aus dem und Allianz. Aber Allianz hat sich zuerst verletzten, weil sie einfach so schnell verletzten. Und dann, ich dachte sie waren, sie sind nicht verletzten. Es war eine schwierige Herausforderung, vor allem gegen Catalyst zu gehen. Die Spikes zu gehen, auf den Stairs zu gehen. Du bist nur reluctant zu push-up, du bist nicht zu push-up.
01:46:03 Aber ich denke, Allianz hat sich 2nd Platz in der Ende von dem Spiel, so ich denke, dass sie sich glücklich sind. Das ist das, was du aimierst für, wenn du in einer solchen Position bist. Du wirst diese extra... Was, 6 Punkte ist es, wenn du, wenn du die 3rd-Squad abgehst, und du die extra Placement Positions bekommst, du kriegst die extra 6 auf dem Board. Es wird 15 in der Ende für Allianz geben. Annex top es mit 18, dank der 12 Placement Points. A shout-out zu Gonext, 12 Kills auf dem Board. Wir stellen sie auf 17, so technically, sie sind 2nd in der Lobby.
Ergebnisse und Diskussionen zur Halbzeit
01:46:31
01:46:31 Very impressive performance from both GoNex and Alliance for the rotates that they had to make. It was through everyone, essentially. It felt like, I mean, Alliance, if you would have taken them back five, six minutes, I think before that endgame, they would have said, yeah, we'll take second, quite happily, because the position they were in with Hackers left on his own, very, very, very tough to try and make something work from there. But Annex Esports, like you mentioned, they're the team who take home first place with those placement points.
01:46:55 Kills confirmed. And after three matches have been played, this is how things look in our series. Forbidden on top by just two points over Ronin. And then a little bit of a gap between U-Aim, Infinite and Alliance. Danish go next, all very, very close behind them. And you have to say, after three games, Dan, it's very much looking at E-District in an all-to-play-for situation.
01:47:15 Yeah, especially considering, you know, we mentioned it earlier, the POI draft, everyone heavily went into their picks onto Stormpoint, so not many teams prioritized E-District whatsoever. FaZe Clan down in 20th position is going to be the biggest concern from this graphic for me. You know, they've been performing well in scrims. I think there's a lot of high hopes for this FaZe roster that maybe they can trump previous FaZe rosters, but not really turned up in the first three here, Rain Day.
01:47:39 Yeah, no, not at all. And I mean, you look at Forbidden, you look at Ronan. I mean, we're talking about, you know, kind of the teams jumping into Pro League. Now they're the ones leading the lobby. It could be a whole different conversation if you twist it one way or the other. But I love that you guys brought up Alliance too. And Mark, you're kind of like, okay, the situation that we were in, if we get second in the version of our life right now, where I'm almost dead with one HP and all my teammates are dead.
01:48:06 I'll take that. And honestly, I had a little bet with myself. I'm doing a little off script moment here. I had a bet. I told my wife, I said, listen, Kelly gave me this for my daughter. Okay, you can't see it because it's green.
01:48:21 I said, if they win, I will actually put her in this and bring her on camera. And so they didn't win. So second place, it's not good enough, guys, unfortunately. But you were close. And we do have this yet again. So, Mark, hopefully, you know, this little inspiration there for Alliance. I was worried for a second that you said you were going to put that on. And then I was like, well, that's amazing. Well, you know, I would, but it won't fit. Probably not a good idea if you want to be back for another week. But, you know.
01:48:46 Maybe we'll get the viewers in if we have viral moment. Yeah, right, right. Guys, you know, it's halftime. And as we get into this, you know, we've had so many fun things happen to me. It feels like it's kind of shaking things up. We also have seen an immense amount of parody in my eyes. Like the fact that we have these legend bands has given.
01:49:05 Every single team an opportunity to showcase themselves. And it feels like teams that I kind of mentioned this and alluded it to, to howls, the Falcons, right? One or the TSM back in the day, these aggressive menace they love, they dominate, but then maybe like a Newcastle Gibby meta, not so much yet. Now we don't feel like it feels like we don't have that anymore, Dan, which is kind of so interesting adding into, you know, the fact that.
01:49:29 What does that mean for teams like Ronins, teams like, you know, we're focusing on Alliance, you know, in terms of that, to show up and be now leading this lobby after three? Yeah, I think it's a very exciting moment for Apex Legends, the fact that we've got...
01:49:43 All these teams that have to try and work out, you know, how this meta is going to develop, how we can have to change our compositions as the lobby goes on. Do we follow the path or do we try and go under the radar a little bit? We've already seen that a little bit today. You know, a few picks that have come in just so you can keep that controller. It's a very exciting time. I think both Mark and I, when we were leading up to this one, we were like, you know, this is, it just feels, something feels different about this season. And it's almost that element of unknown.
01:50:09 Yeah, it's such a great thing as, you know, we look at the action after three. We still have three more to go, but it's halftime. So we need to have a little bit of conversation here, guys. We're not bringing a guest, okay? But we are doing a little something fun and funky, okay? Dan, I see you dancing. I see you moving. Have you seen this guy on the dance floor? He's next level. Yeah, that's just a little easier. Because he's going so strong, I'm going to ask you first, Mark. This is our section called Hot Takes. So we want to know what our casters, what our talent happens.
01:50:37 Das war's für heute. Es ist interessant. Wir waren told, was die erste Sache ist der cardinal sin in Apex Legends? Mine ist der IGL. Wenn du ihr IGL ist, dann ist der IGL der Worst Person. Ich würde sagen, auf Earth, das ist ein bisschen zu hart.
01:51:01 But you need to listen to IGL. Even if you see your IGL is making the complete and utter wrong call and everything in your point of view, you can feed them that information, but do not counter call them. Don't be one of those people who is like, yeah, that's cool, but...
01:51:13 Wenn die Zonen hier ist und ihr denkt, ich denke, die Zonen ist hier. Listen zu Ihren IGL. Listen zu Ihren IGL, da ist ein Grund, wenn Sie ihn in charge stellen. Wenn Sie die Zonen sagen, am ich ein guter Job machen? Sie denken, am ich der Beste für meine Team? Die Zonen denken, am ich der Beste für meine Team? Die Zonen sagen, am ich die Beste für meine Team? Die Zonen sagen, am ich die Beste für meine Team? Die Zonen sagen, am ich die Beste für meine Team? Die Zonen sagen, am ich die Beste für meine Team? So, keine Zonen call Ihren IGL. Wenn Sie die Zonen...
01:51:33 So hot that they had to take you down to medium after that Dan Mark hit a medium. What do you have? What's your hot take for today?
01:51:45 My hot take is playing for second place or for points when someone else is on match point, right? You do not want to give the opportunity for someone else to win the tournament just so you can get a little bit higher in Surprise Ball. Or maybe, let's say, I don't know, qualify for the World Championship. Yeah, I'm talking to you, EnterForce36. You were on top of the cake building. You had a chance to make history, but instead you said, oh, we just want to qualify for the World Championships. No one remembers EnterForce36 finishing 15th in the World Championship.
01:52:15 Wir wollen noch mehr Games! So play for first place, keep Matchpoint rollin!
Diskussion über 'Hot Takes' und Legend Bans in der Pro League
01:52:40
01:52:40 Well, I mean, after that. I think for a second, Dan was going to say, nobody remembers End of Force 36, having gone on a massive rant about End of Force 36. That's amazing. That was some hot takes, guys. Chat, what do you guys think about those? Dan did a great job kind of leveling up the spice. I mean, you know, going second's not easy. Mark obviously started off with, you're the worst person of all time, if you counter call your IGL. Yeah.
01:53:05 I feel like that's the hottest take possible, but it is good. A bad plan executed well better than a good plan executed poorly. Listen, decide, and do it. And yeah, your heart is racing, man. Caliente. Guys, you're watching on X, you're watching on YouTube, you're watching on Twitch. What did you think? Let us know. We want to hear your thoughts on those hot takes. Do you have anything?
01:53:28 It certainly has, and you've seen why in just in those first three games, right? And I think if you add on the fact that the Scout is still very, very, you know, usable, very, very prevalent.
01:53:58 Also mit den Arsenals spawningen, es ist sehr easy zu bekommen. Es ist nicht so, dass ihr beide die Weapons habt. Ich denke, wenn ihr Apex-Status habt, habt ihr die Idee, dass ihr das mal anschaut habt.
01:54:16 He's counted, they've counted each round. Yeah. Yeah. Each one, all 42,355. These are the things that we need. Chat, what else do you have to say to us? Because we have another take here. Wig said, oh, first of all, you started off. Wig said, I don't know if I can, you know.
01:54:33 Let's read this here. The Legend Bands have made the most skilled Pro League ever, which should be true if P20s haven't lowered the skill ceiling significantly. If we had a real gun meta, this could have been the most healthy split ever, maybe. Interesting, guys. You're on the fence a little bit here, Real Fake James. Firstly, are you even James? Are you James? Calling you out on that one. And then, your hot take is...
01:55:00 Dan? Ja, ja.
01:55:15 Ich denke, Wig ist korrekt. Ich denke, die Legendbans haben das die größte Schilfe, weil du musst, dass du eine Deep Pool hast. Du musst, dass du viele verschiedene Legends hast, aber du musst, dass du es smart hast. Wenn du nicht das Pool hast, dann kannst du etwas unter der Radar gehen. Ja, die P2020 sind sehr stark. Ich denke, wir werden es nicht so gut, wir wissen es. Wir wissen es, wir wissen es, alle anderen wissen es. Aber du musst, dass du auch was vorhanden, was du anstattest. Und wenn du anstattest, wo die P2020 nicht...
01:55:40 Ja, das ist natürlich der Fall. Ja, das ist natürlich der Fall.
01:56:07 Okay, P-2020. Es ist eigentlich nicht wirklich nicht anwendbar, oder nicht wirklich ein Weapon, oder wirklich nicht anwendbar, denn es ist schon immer gut zu diesem Punkt.
01:56:17 Guys, I'm not sure if we'll see that slowdown this week, maybe after a mid-season patch or another one coming up, but it's been a fun halftime talking with you all. Some spicy takes. And Mark, you know, I think you need some reflection on how bad people can be if they don't counter call. So I'm going to send you on break. Dan and I are going to take this one and just hopefully you come back having just thought about, you know, life a little bit more. All right, you can't hear me anymore. Yeah, he's gone. Dan.
Neuerungen in der ALGS Year 5 Pro League und Teamstrategien
01:56:46
01:56:46 Ja, man, das war Spaß. Obviamente, looking at it, too, it is great to kind of get set into now what looks to be a very new start of this year. Storm Point, obviously, we started. That's familiar. But E-District, No World's Edge, as we head into these next three maps, we get a new look, which is great. And I think this is one of the things that...
01:57:09 P-2020s sind da, aber alles über das Jahr 5 Pro-League hat sich verändert und verändert in ihrer eigenen Weise. Es hat wirklich.
01:57:19 One of the funny stats, by the way, you know, we saw the Light Ammo is the most used. Somehow, still, Imperial Howe will be pinging for Light Ammo, despite the fact there's still that much on the map. E-District is where we're going to be heading. Now, I mentioned it briefly, that only two teams actually prioritized E-District in their picks, and that was Alliance and Infinite. Alliance picked Lotus as their POI, and Infinite picked City Hall, and then next was Nemesis, who actually took 20th and 21st pick. Everyone else went for Stormpoint.
01:57:48 So I'm going to be looking at Alliance and Infinite as my teams to watch coming into E-District here. And here is the list of the bans so far as well, just for confirmation for you guys at home. We lost Ashe to begin with, and then we lost Wraith, and then we lost Catalyst. So we've lost an Assault, a Skirmisher, and a Controller. Now we go to E-District, I think we're going to be losing another Skirmisher because this is when Alter comes into the fray. It is her bread and butter.
01:58:13 Yeah, it feels like Alter is going to be the one that's most played now. So teams having an opportunity to use her earlier on. This might be the last one that you've got Alliance specifically. You know, I gave them a fake kind of challenge that they didn't even know about. Almost won it though. That's how good they are. Second place overall. And they're landing at the top of E-District Lotus. Nemesis all the way down at the bottom at Old Town as well. And these are some of the...
01:58:41 Das ist das, was wir müssen zu schauen, Dan. Es ist, dass, ja, Skirmishers und Alter sind wichtig, aber der overall...
01:58:51 Ich glaube, es ist eine große Tempo-Tempo-Tempo-Tempo-Tempo-Tempo-Tempo-Tempo.
01:59:17 You can understand the potential impact and tempo is super adjusted here. And it's made it for a great game, not only just to play, but also it's impacted Pro League a little bit. Oh yeah, and a great watch at times as well, with the speed of which it can be...
01:59:31 You know, quickly buzzed through by some of these legends that have had buffs. Or, you know, sometimes they've had nerfs just to reduce things as well. But Alter is going to be very much prominent in this lobby. I can already see from that screen she's going to be banned in this game. I don't even need to count it. There's far too many Alter pieces popping up. One of the main reasons why Alter is kind of...
01:59:51 Prominent on E-District is for her rotation ability through the likes of Energy Bank and other areas. You can get through some of these thick walls that otherwise you wouldn't be able to. You'd be forced into a choke, but instead you can kind of go through them instead of over them or under them.
02:00:06 And that is allowing a lot of rotational ability for these teams. Also, you know, we've got the new changes to Alter as well in her perks that you can kind of select whether you want to be support, for example, or recons, get the abilities of those support characters or recon characters as well. She's just become far more viable. And yes, she wasn't, you know, the most picked in games one to three, but now we're going to see her on almost every comp.
02:00:29 It's always interesting, you know, when you have a legend come in that is maybe a little bit underrepresented early on. And, you know, Ian talked to us. This was in year four, live at LAN. I believe this might have been in Los Angeles. And just gave us a conversation about Alter, revealing her and what she brings to the table. It took a while for her to really come into the fray. But these recent buffs do one of the hardest things you can do, which is have a character kind of come out, not really be picked.
02:00:59 Und jetzt wird es dann wiederum die Kreme von der Krop. Und das ist das, was ich immer wiederum nach Game Changers und Trendsetters, wie Allianz Hockies, die in Alter hatten. So es ist jetzt, dass sie viel mehr prevalent ist, die Leute die Zeit haben, die die Zeit haben, auf einen Charakter, die hat ein bisschen ein High-Skills ceiling und ein High-Floor zu verstehen und zu verwenden.
02:01:26 Ja, ich denke, dass sie immer wieder in Pro-League kamen. Einige Teams haben sich gemacht, dass sie mit Krypto gemacht hat. Einige Teams haben versucht das zu tun. Und dann wurde sie ein bisschen zu stark mit dem, was sie tun konnte. Und die eine Sache, die sie gut an war, hat sie für eine kurze Zeit gemacht. Aber jetzt ist sie wieder und sie ist sehr viel auf unsere Schrein. Es ist eine Early-Fight passiert hier, Zero Tenacity zuerst.
02:01:50 Busy with the P20, he only has one this time around, trying to get that second one. Maybe a kill and looting that box will help Bambino on the rush. Also playing the fuse. MG Clutch holding down this angle helps Zero Tenacity to back off a little bit. But MG Clutch still knowing that he's kind of under pressure here. Bambino with the fuse. Knuckle Cluster is just going to help out, but they've got to find an answer. Phoenix Kid happening for Mizzy and they'll probably push after that. Or at least...
02:02:20 E-District hat einige Rhythme. Es hat einige Rhythme. Es hat viele Rhythme. Es ist schwer, schwer zu gehen. Und wie auch noch andere Rhythme. Aber die Stadt, diese High-Low Grounds, manchmal ist es wirklich nicht so viele Routes zu gehen.
02:02:36 Routes, Routes, Routes!
02:02:54 By the way, I will never stay round. It doesn't make sense. I agree, though. I mean, I love E-District. I love to watch E-District. I love to play E-District. I'm so glad it is part of the ALGS ever since I worked for the first time at Champs as well. And a lot of these teams have started to learn how to manipulate the map in their favor. You know, yes, there are some routes that you take where you're going to be a little bit vulnerable, but that's when you use Legends, like Alter, for example, so that you can manipulate it in a way where you aren't as vulnerable. So you do have the cover. Yes, Catalyst has been banned, so you're not going to see much Dark Veils coming down to cover you instead.
02:03:23 So who do you bring in to maybe add that? What controller legend? Do you need a controller legend? Do you need the ring consoles? Are you just going to play off Survey Beacons, for example? Bit of a far cry from where we experienced Apex Legends just a few months ago. I mean, in Japan, obviously, we had so much support, control, the domination of the meta, you know, ended up looking like a lot of teams who you had patience on their side. Now you have...
02:03:51 Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute.
Taktische Anpassungen und Überraschungen in der ALGS Pro League
02:04:12
02:04:12 Does it make sense to have this level of bans? Do we need to work on an altar beforehand? Is this the first time we're playing altar because we lost Ash, we lost Wraith? You know, a lot of these questions are things that players are answering right now. As you can see Synetic trying to stay alive. And going down here, just Zane and Tyler FBS trying to pick up a little bit. And they're doing enough with that P2020. My goodness. As Tyler gets a kill and tries to keep his team alive.
02:04:39 Ja, das sind die kinder Kills du erwähnt von Tyler, ein sehr Impressive Controller, Fragger, und jetzt hat er die Chance zu repositionen mit Alter, um zu re-engagieren, in dieser Fight und zu halten sein Team. Es ist ein 2-2 jetzt, wenn der Rest kam durch. Und wieder, Tyler, Schredding mit den P20-20s, wir sehen die Power aus dem. Even von diesem kinder Distanz, man hat es hart. Wow! Ich meine, warum, warum, warum haben wir einen Mimicis? P20s sind nicht nur mit Close-Range, das ist Mid-Range und Farther-Zayn. Du hast ihn gesehen.
02:05:08 Und das sind die Fahe zu sehen. Wenn man sich die Fahe zu sehen sehen, wie das Team ist, und, ja, Sie haben...
02:05:25 Synetic there as the core anchor of the squad. But you look at the likes of Tyler to be able to come through and win those fights alongside Zayn. Even if it is a one versus two, a one versus three, they should have a chance to do it. And Faze is going to be back on their feet. And maybe E-District is going to be their opportunity to pick up some kills here. Because you might have noticed when you look through the compositions of a lot of teams have been checking in on, not so many controller legends, not many teams have ring control. Most teams are going to be playing off Survey Beacon, playing off of information provided by other teams and their positions.
02:05:55 Aber jetzt sehen wir Caustic Gas hier, Rain Day, so wir werden einen Controller sehen, zumindest in diesem Builder. Huge. Und wenn du das so spielst, das ist das, was wir schauen, dass du das Schmerz in der room bist, oder nicht. Wie Marc sagt, der Schmerz in der room ist, wenn du Countercall. Ich denke, du wissen, Caustic wird es durch. So was das bedeutet für deine Strategie? Fritz, auf die Krypto.
02:06:24 ...to have a presence on that character, not banned yet. Probably not going to get banned today. Alter Portal here from Trix. Just potentially trying to get some vision... ...as they're sharing this building.
02:06:36 Ja, ich werde ein bisschen Abduktionen hier versuchen, einen durch den Boden und dann haben wir die Lead für den Engagement. Es gibt drei Korsiks in der Lobby, die ich gefragt habe. Ich frage die Frage, wer ist Catalyst? Und es sieht aus wie ein paar Korsiks, ein Watssons hier. Aber die meisten Teams, die Watssons spielen, haben wir sie.
02:07:04 Ja, look at that! I mean, they know what is about to happen, an attempted kidnap from Alter.
02:07:29 An abduction, as we've started to call it here, behind the scenes as well. That's also Mark, so I'm not just going to credit him for stuff that's a hot take. I'm also going to credit him for good things. Abducted attempts here from Zane, Tyler, and Sinetic. They're continuing that pressure. Knuckle Cluster, but the Newcastle Shield will stall any of that as they kind of look to hold this low ground. 19 Squat still left.
02:07:58 In this game, round two about to close. And, you know, this is kind of right on par for the course. Wow, my words today. I mean, I feel like for the course. But, you know, it's right on par for the course. I don't know what it is, Dan. We start laughing and I start saying words differently. But for how we've seen, 20 squads have been alive for most of the time up until round four.
02:08:28 Ja, nicht zu viele Engagements. Ich denke, es gibt genug Platz auf dem Map. Und mit der Anzahl von Recon Legends, plus Alter in der Recon Perk zu nehmen, die Leute wissen, dass die Position der Recon Perk sind, so sie sind einfach nicht auf dem Moment, bis sie finden einen Spot, dass sie nicht kommen, als die Allianz gefunden haben, auf dem Weg in die Zone. Big Pick, von Effect als auch, rocken die 30-30-Peter. Trying to keep that up. Another Headshot als auch, Knuckle Cluster, die Pressure des Wallen stopt.
02:08:57 Für ein Moment ist es noch etwas zu tun. Und Newcastle, zurückzuführen. Allianz ist vorhanden, und das ist ein Problem für jemanden in ihrem Weg. Drone detected hier von Hockey. So, jetzt geht es um, und zurück zu health. Als sie versuchen, zu pushen. Ein bisschen aus der Zone, aber sie haben noch Zeit, um es zu machen. Und mit Effekt, um die Pressure zu machen, ist es einfach. Team in fronte sind, also zu evakten.
02:09:28 Not to go back to legend compositions again, but you know fuse being used now as the ring console legend for a lot of these squads with the lack of catalyst so you know all these changes and what's great is the variety I think one of my worries when legend bands came through is we were just gonna see everyone move to the same composition after game one after game two after game three but we are not seeing that and that really makes me happy because it does create a lot of variety and a lot of different play styles and different kind of attempts at trying to break the meta as it were
02:09:57 Und es macht für viele verschiedene Fights, weil es so viele verschiedene Dynamiken gibt, ob man sich gegen eine Caustic Barrel zu gehen, ob man sich gegen eine Ballistik, das wird, dass ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr, ihr,
02:10:23 gonna be able to take this high ground, force Zane down to the bottom here. He's gonna have to take a zipline, maybe an ultral portal to get back up, but so far so good as Fricks looks to have a chance to be revived in just a moment. Tyler, Zane, a little bit low, and so they're not gonna push this. Also BPR right next to this engagement, so everyone feels the presence of that third squad. Maybe both teams just realizing that it's not worth
02:10:51 Trying to continue this engagement unless we can have an advantage now face plant rotating on this outside Possibly gonna try to push up and maybe make the the middle
02:11:02 So funny, how scared people are to stand close to walls or floors or roofs or anything. You don't want any of your body parts to be near them, otherwise you might be abducted. You have to be careful, just a little toe, and you might get taken away from the rest of your squad. It's a very strange dynamic to have to try and play the game with this many alters in the lobby.
Strategische Wendungen und Team-Performances in der ALGS Pro League
02:11:30
02:11:30 Das Phase Clan, jetzt sieht man, dass sie wieder geimpft sind. Und das ist wieder passiert. Huge swing, da auch. Optimus findet die Kill in Zane, und es kind of setzt die Tempo. B.P.R. vielleicht runter? Nicht, wenn Kyler hat nichts zu sagen. Take South Cynetic, Phase Clan eliminated. B.P.R. macht die Rotation, und geht die Rez, dankz zu der Void Nexus. Das ist eine große Rolle, was Alter bringt.
02:11:56 Wenn du Knot hast, du hast eine Chance zu vollständigen Reset. Was ein Charakter sie ist. Und klar zu kontrollieren die Pacing des Lobbys. OptimusFish20 macht es wieder. Remember der Name, denn du wirst du heiratst a lot. Throughout EMEA Pro League. Und hoffentlich, of course, die ALGS Open in ein paar Wochen. Die Allianz sind noch alive. Und sie haben sich in der Zone befinden, Reinde. Just auf der westen Seite. Ich denke, es ist Infinite, die zu sein.
02:12:26 Und sie haben ein paar Pop-Shots gegen sie aber auch. Aber die Alliance haben sehr gut gemacht, um zu navigieren, in eine Weise, dass sie sich hier auf der westen Seite befinden, und eigentlich in eine sehr gute Position zu kommen, um die Final-Circle zu kommen, als du, AIM, geteilt in 18. Unlucky, auf der Newcastle, ein Charakter, dass wir in diesem Lobby sehen, aber Far Cry, von dem wir gesehen haben, die Meta über die letzten paar Monate, die wir in der Championship haben.
02:12:53 G-Dolphin, auch auf Atlas. Wir haben gesehen, was er kann, was er kann. Auf der Bangalore ist es nicht wirklich ein paar Bangalores. Vielleicht ist er der einzige Bangalore in diesem Lobby, das wir gesehen haben. Und wir haben die Smokes, hoffentlich, hier. Aber es geht um, so es wird es schwierig für Atlas zu machen. Ja, wir haben nicht gesehen, wir haben ein paar Bangalore gesehen, auf Stormpoint, natürlich, in Game 2, als wir die Initial Bands kamen für Ash.
02:13:21 Ja, Bangalore ist nicht so popular auf E-District, weil die Rolle von Alter genommen ist, aber weiter geht. Sie haben den Van als bester Sie können, auf der Southeastern Seite. Sie haben Dänisch nach der Selle, aber über sie ist Zero Tenacität. Und sie sind gerade bei einem Ring of Fire. Johnny Cash, E-Heart out. Sie müssen hier auspuffen, sonst werden sie einfach getrennt. Träume auf den Topfire, unten. Sie sind nicht in gutem Platz. In der Mitte.
02:13:48 von diesen beiden Dingen. Gonext ist einfach so gut. Sobald, so gut. Sobald, sobald und stabilisiert. Kind of Henchman und Attenham. Pushing just a little bit with P20. Zero Tenacity here also. Trying to hold off. Henchman finds an early kill. Gonext ist einfach so gut. Getting the revive here with the Newcastle. Trying to just get Numbers back in their advantage, but kind of realizes this is something they cannot finish off. Jayhanzo and Ronin.
02:14:14 Pushing down, they should clean up kind of here with the P20s. Or at least have quell this and find two out of the three kills of that team keeping their spot. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, but you know, Ronin had been one of the more impressive sides that we've seen today.
02:14:30 Und ich denke, das ist sehr spannend für die Pro-League zu kommen, auch für diese Teams, die einfach zu zeigen. Und wiederum es geht es um, wie gut sie sind, in ihren Compositions zu verändern. Wir haben eine Pathfinder für sie, die wir nicht so far gesehen haben, so alle experimentieren mit etwas ein bisschen anders. Aber jetzt müssen sie versuchen, die map aus dem Süd-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South-South
02:14:59 Das ist das, was ich mit E-Distrikt bedeutet. Huge shots hier von der G7-Scout. Ich weiß, die P20 ist oft die Wahl von jedem Rang, aber das Scout hat den Attack-Speed-Buff in den letzten Monaten gemacht. Die Pros haben jetzt in ihren Händen. Und eine HUGE, HUGE MOTHER-LOAD von Fuse. Zero Tenacity.
02:15:22 Und jetzt haben wir noch eine Chance, eine Chance zu versuchen.
02:15:39 Und jetzt geht es um Portal Mania zu sein. Es geht darum, um zu bleiben, um zu bleiben, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen, um zu gehen.
02:16:06 Great spot for Na'Vi. Gaming Gladiators as well. Fighting against Kat. Find the kill there. So it's now just five squads remaining here as we head into round six. Unbelievable patience. And you can see Gaming Gladiators in a pretty good spot. All isolated by themselves on the southern side. Exoclan staying alive in that building. And also sharing a little bit with Alliance on the left hand side. And Infinite Nanus Vincere again also isolated.
02:16:34 On their side as well, Dan. Yeah, Gaming Gladiators and Na'Vi should be the lead contenders of winning this game, just with the amount of space they currently command. But, you know, that can all change very quickly. It's going to be really who survives out of Exoclan, Alliance, and Infinite, and how they actually traverse the map to the point. You've got the portals to get out of the building, but then you've also got the new castle to maybe build a little bit of a base here for Alliance. And they're actually starting to march towards GG, which could ruin GG's plans.
02:17:01 Beautiful von Unlucky!
02:17:21 Rez after Rez, make your opponent just slightly doubt what they have to do, and then you whip out those P2020s, and now Alliance is gonna be back up, and it looks like maybe they avoid the gunfire, Na'Vi are looking towards them, but Alliance now have to worry about Exo, who are still close to them, Infinite, who are still alive in that building as well, but this is all leading up to a Na'Vi win, you'd feel, as they have so much space, so much coverage of this map. Alliance shouldn't win.
02:17:45 There's no reason that they should win this game. They shouldn't have even won that fight, but somehow they have. And that just seems to be the story of Alliance. Maybe their luck is running out. Na'Vi in a great position here. Our winners of our Year 4 Championship in Sapporo just a few months ago. Under the banner of Go Next, now representing Na'Vi. Can they get a dub? Heading into game number one on E-District. We'll see here as Exoclan falls.
02:18:13 And it's just Arctic to remain. Yeah, Na'Vi, now it should just be cleanup crew. Only one squad left. However, they are on the low ground here. This is not as easy as it first looked. And there is a chance for Infinite, albeit a slim one. It's not going to happen. Na'Vi proved that it was not just a one-hit wonder. They are going to make a full-on album as they are back with a bang here in Year 5.
02:18:34 You gotta love it. Notaspensier, find a way to get the job done. Bangalore Crypto. Ballistic. Wow. Unbelievable. And thank you for kind of calling that out as well. I mean, Notaspensier, they absolutely have pressure on them to keep performing, Dan. And if they do not, people are going to start to say, well, maybe that was a fluke. It's clearly not. This is a team to be dealt with, to be...
02:19:02 Wir haben immer gesagt, Consistency ist eine der hardeste Dinge zu tun in Battle Royale, in Apex Legends und wir haben zehn Teams geschafft. Ich meine, für ein paar Mal durch Apex, wir haben nur zwei Teams, die wirklich nicht die Trophäen hatten, aber das hat angefangen.
02:19:21 just as good and have their moment. But is it just a temporary moment in the spotlight or can Navi prove that it wasn't just a fluke as some may have said they deserved every moment in that spotlight and now they are proving that they are back with a bang here at 23 points in game number four which is going to send them quite far up those leaderboards even though they've been a little bit quiet here and there they now find themselves at the number one spot. That's what one big game can do for you. Remember they started today with a top three after all
Team-Dynamiken und Strategieanpassungen in der ALGS Pro League
02:19:50
02:19:50 Und jetzt sind sie die Nummer 1, 38 Punkte.
02:20:27 100 Thieves look like a force to be reckoned with, including Imperial Howl and Zero's former teammates Verhulst and Jen Burton teaming up for ALGS Year 5. They are joined by Phony, who is back competing in America with a big point to prove his own. On paper, this looks to be a truly fearsome team. There is a huge amount of land experience with...
02:20:50 Almost every ALGS LAN in history won by at least one of the new 100 Thieves roster. Phony sits in a very exclusive club of IGLs with a LAN win under his belt and is now backed up by some of the game's best shooters. If this roster can hit the ground running, they could easily run away with the Pro League if left unchecked. One of the teams looking to stop 100 Thieves is NRG.
02:21:17 who can easily claim the super team tag for themselves. Guild and ItsTimi are reunited, having last played together over at Moist Esports. Rounding out the roster is Yanya, who brings some pure aggression to this team. Keep your eye on this roster. ItsTimi expressed his desire over the last few months to really step up into the IGL role, and with Guild and Yanya in tow, he has his best chance yet to prove that he can guide a team to success.
02:21:46 Mit seinen neuen NRG-Team-Maten, Gild will have ambitions of better results in Year 5. NRG's comeback story starts on April 6th, when Pro League returns for Year 5. Now for VDR. Rep's departing TSM was truly the end of an Apex era. But a brand new one begins for the multi LAN-winning Apex Superstar. He will finally...
02:22:11 He'll be stepping into the IGL role, a mantle that many fans have wanted to see him take up over the years. This split will be a fresh start for Reps in more ways than one. Joining Reps on his new journey are Deeds and Vaxlon. Both players have found strong success over the last few years. Vaxlon was part of the Furia team that was one of the year 4 surprise packages, as well as having a great showing across year 3 with 100 Thieves.
02:22:39 These will be best known for his efforts on Tripod's roster, as they work their way from Challenger Circuit to Tier 1 Competition. All three players are terrifying, to face it their best, and all have their own points to prove. If this roster can get going, they might really shake things up at the top of the Americas region.
02:23:10 Welcome back, everybody. Two more games to go. And I'll tell you what, that break has refreshed me, Dan. I'm ready to get into these two games. Na'Vi with the big win. The World Champs coming through with a performance that we would expect at this point of a team who can call themselves World Champions. Oh, that's seven, just for anyone who is keeping track, as Mark asked during Game 1 how many times he's going to say World Champs today. Seven it is, I think, if I'm counting correctly. I'll get my licks in. But honestly, you've got even more reason to say it after a performance like that, right? They...
02:23:38 ...dick so well at taking down teams whenever they were under a little bit of fire. But then towards the end, it was just about the amount of space they were able to command. I mean, it...
02:23:46 Often is when it comes down to just three squads, like who has the most space, who has the most coverage. It looked a little bit worrying when they were down on the low ground. And I was suddenly thinking, wait, if you can't get up here, this could be a struggle, could allow the other team, it was infinite, to reset. Alas, they were able to climb up, they were able to sort it, and everything went well. But they did take down Alliance in fourth. By the way, Alliance coming fourth was pretty nuts in that game. They did really well to survive, which seems to be the theme of today for Alliance, is somehow, someway surviving moments that they probably shouldn't.
02:24:15 Ja, ich meine, das ist einfach wie der Cockroach-Approach. Das war sehr schwierig zu sagen, aber ich habe es geschafft. Aber sie hat es geschafft. Und Battle Royale ist es einfach nur über die Zeit, um sich in die Position zu gewinnen. Das ist die letzte Moment, natürlich, von der Navi-Win. Aber ich liebe Staying-In-Touching-Distance. Das ist das, was wir darüber gesprochen haben, nach Game 3. Wenn du in-Touching-Distance bist, kannst du in-Touching-Distance in den ersten Platz bleiben, kannst du in-Touching-Distance bleiben. Wenn du in-Touching-Distance bist, kannst du in-Touching-Distance bleiben.
02:24:43 Ja, und ich denke, dass die Art der Rhythmen, die Nervs haben, ein bisschen, und alle haben eine Möglichkeit, zu convertieren, auf was schon ein sehr guter Start ist, um ein sehr, sehr guter Start zu enden. Ja, und ich denke, dass die Art der Allianz...
02:24:56 Surviving and winning the fights when their backs are against the wall is impressive. And I think that's something that Alliance have always done very well. And when this team was built, you know, when we lost Yukeem and wondering who was going to come in, Unlucky comes in for Alliance and you saw the value of Unlucky just in that game as well. The ability to win a one versus X situation when Effect is down. And that's, I mean, Hackers must be in dreamland, right? Because Hackers goes down and he's like, well, you know, it's fine because either Effect or Unlucky could take out this entire lobby on their own. And that's what makes Alliance so terrifying.
02:25:25 Let's take a look at the map schedule as Alliance do look terrifying. We've got two more to go here. If you're just joining us, of course, you missed out on Stormpoint, but you've got two more E-District to come. And now we're going to see Alter banned, Dan, which again changes the dynamic of this map completely. It changes the dynamic of how these compositions are going to work. We mentioned, and you and Rain were talking quite rightly about how I think out of all Legends and map combinations, Alter probably has her biggest impact on E-District, but we're only going to see it for one map here.
02:25:55 Wer wird in die Rolle gehen? Das ist eine sehr, sehr interessante Frage. Ja, wer wird zu werden? Das ist immer das nächste Frage, das ich zu fragen. Aber gleichzeitig, man muss die Rolle spielen für Rotation sein. Wir sahen Bangalore war sehr, wenn Ash war, aber in E-District.
02:26:12 There wasn't as much bang. Will we see more bang come into the fray here? Will we see a few more teams start to hit more recon characters, for example, because losing Alter means you lose the ability to get the recon through her perks. Will we see more cryptos pop up? A few more ballistics, maybe? I know that ballistic and kind of crypto at a 50-50 with the ban sometimes in game five during scrim. So remember, this is going to be the last time a legend gets banned here in game five. And then for match six, that will be the pool open.
02:26:42 Let's see what happens. Let's see what Legend steps up and if they're going to have an influence on how this match number five is going. One thing that is very exciting about where we find ourselves in this series is...
02:26:52 Ich denke, was interessant ist, dass es so viele Teams nicht haben Ring-Console Informationen haben, dass sie einfach nur auf die Nummer 5 gehen können.
02:27:21 The Survey Beacon through Recon Characters or through Alter. They then had to try and traverse the map a little bit differently. We saw less teams committing to buildings early on. And more teams just kind of skirting around the map. Which created some interesting 3v3 scenarios. And we might see that again. I don't know. Maybe people will lean towards Fuse a little bit more. You can see Navi's comp is going to be again Ballistic Fang. And it is going to be Crypto. So you've got the two Assault Characters available to you. I mean that is...
02:27:48 Not fun to go up against. I will say, I hate playing against Ballistic, and I think a lot of people would agree with me, a very difficult legend to try and take in a 1v1 when he hits you. Shout out to the first picturesque cinematic view of Chicken Beak, by the way. I feel like that would slap Chicken Beak. I feel like they'd have like a... Great sources. Exactly what I was going to say, like a very unique source that people would travel miles around for.
Taktische Entscheidungen und Map-Kontrolle in der ALGS Pro League
02:28:16
02:28:16 All right, we get our first look while I think about the unique sources of Chicken Beak. We see our first lifeline of the day, but it's not going to be the ban. Pathfinder is featuring there as well. A lot of Newcastle. We do often see Newcastle banned around Game 5, and I think I'm counting about 15 off the top of my head. So maybe Newcastle is going to be banned going into Match 6. I'll get confirmation a little bit later. A few more Caustics still. Yep, Caustics is going to be a pick for the teams that have them previously as well.
02:28:44 You want a building-heavy finish, I think, if you're one of these Caustic teams. And maybe you'll get it, as we're going to be looking to head towards the east side of the map here. Yeah, I mean, for FaZe, this is a golden opportunity, right? You're looking at Heights. They've got Ring Console over at Heights. With, obviously, the Heights itself, you have some really, really strong elevated positions to play, not only for KP, but also towards the endgame as well.
02:29:06 A couple of just very interesting to kind of highlight here as well. You know, FaZe have Ring Console. You also have Stadium that had Ring Console. That's going to be Kat. Uaim had Ring Console as well. So everybody who's kind of very, very close to where this zone looks like it's going to be pulling already have Ring Console information. So everyone who's arriving later.
02:29:22 Es ist nicht zu sagen, wo diese Zone ist, weil alles wird klar sein, bis sie werden bis zu Höhen. Also, wenn Sie eine Ring-Console haben und Sie sind da early, es wird eine wirklich gute Möglichkeit für Sie zu convertieren. Faze, wir sind in 20, mit nur 6 Punkte.
02:29:36 After four games need to convert this kind of game into one where their final standards at the end of the day look a lot better. Interestingly as well, the three teams you pointed out who had Ring Console do have the ability to hit Ring Console as long as they get their fuse up to blue so that you can pick and he can scan the Ring Console. Because there are some teams who only have the Survey Beacons, for example. You can see at the top, the Legends are going to start to tick through about the pick rates as well of who is going to be selected. Newcastle is going to be the ban, as I previously thought, because there's...
02:30:06 Just so much Newcastle, and maybe he can help out with the rest of the teams here coming into this next one. But yeah, those teams do have ring consoles, so they can get into this position over towards heights, and they can start to now think about how they want to navigate these final circles. I wonder if we're going to see a scrap between Cat and Cats. Cybercats versus Cat. I would back, like, on paper, a Cybercat to beat a Cat.
02:30:30 Ich würde sagen, dass es so ist, denn ich würde sagen, dass es so ist, weil es so ist, wenn es so scientifically engineered ist, als ein normaler Cat ist, würde ich sagen, dass es mehr erfolgreich ist, in irgendwelchen Engagements oder Scrap ist, was Sie sagen, Sie werden es tun? Sie werden es kämpfen? Sie werden es spielen? Ich weiß nicht!
02:30:52 Es ist wirklich gut für mich, meine Alistin, zu sagen, mit was ich sagen und zu sagen, dass es Sinn macht. Vielen Dank. BPR jetzt. Wir spielen ein kleines Cubby hier. Hotel Colbert, ein guter Platz zu sein, wenn du ein paar Vakation auf E-District bist. Wir werden die Newcastle Wall down. Und das ist ein sehr interessantes Spiel. Wenn du Newcastle pick rate bist, wird es sehr, sehr hoch in diesem Spiel.
02:31:12 Wenn du auf E-District und Champs in Japan hast, Newcastle war so ein großer Faktor für die wir so viele aktive Endgames haben, mit so vielen Team still alive. Ich fühle mich, dass wir so viele Endgames haben. Wir werden viele Teams stacked, viele Corners spielen, mit dem Castle Wall down. Wir sind in 6th Platz, in einem sehr guter Platz. Es ist interessant, dass... Ich möchte noch ein bisschen über Navi reden, warum wir hier ein Loll haben, und jeder macht ihre Rotation.
02:31:40 Disrespectful comments, I would say, after their win in Japan from a few players in the scene. And I feel like coming out in week number one with a new meta, with the legend bands improving yourself, I feel like they've got a chip on their shoulder and there's nothing worse to do as a player who is going up against a team who just won a championship than to give them a reason to knuckle down and try and prove you wrong. Yeah, I think...
02:32:02 As commentators, as analysts of this game, you want to see consistency and you want to see success replicated. So it is good that it hasn't just been a one-off for this team and they are showing up here today. And as you said, answer all those critics in the best way possible.
02:32:18 You want to go one better. You want to be number one. You want to finish first place today. And they have the opportunity. They lead right now in match five, but they still have work to do because you saw how tight it was. You can very much be caught up here and you might drop down somewhere in that top ten and not necessarily be able to answer those critics as successfully. Annex Esports have found themselves in a building on this eastern side at the moment, as really have the majority of the lobby. We have about four teams that aren't within this circle. One team extra who are in the circle, but are not on the eastern side.
Strategische Positionskämpfe und unerwartete Wendungen in der ALGS Pro League
02:32:47
02:32:47 Das ist ein sehr interessantes Endgame. Und ich denke, für die Teams, die bereits hier sind, ist es ein bisschen mehr Predictable, von dem wir in den vergangenen Spiel gesehen haben, dass es kein Alter zu haben. Niemand wird auf der Topf der Bühne sein, durch die Seite des Wallen, oder so. Es ist einfach nur ein LOS. Denial ist es, dass ihr gut angeln, dass ihr Newcastle position ist gut für das Endgame. Es ist ein bisschen mehr Tradition.
02:33:14 In the sense of how we see these endgames with these stacked buildings. But I think it's going to be a slow burner here, Dan. A lot of teams, like you mentioned, already stacked up in height. It's only Alliance, Zero, Tenacity, Ronin, GG, and Danish who are not within this zone already. And not just within the zone, but like deep, deep within the zone.
02:33:31 We might see a couple of fights happening on the outskirts. For example, Gaming Gladiators are currently chasing Danish and looking to see if they can pick up some KP and send themselves further up these leaderboards. But it doesn't look like Danish want to play that game. They are very much looking to rotate instead. Don't want to be a fighting whatsoever. Maybe Ronin would have third-partied if it had happened. But yeah, you're right. It's going to be a slow burner. A lot of teams within buildings. And what did I say? You know, those teams that do have a Caustic, for example, they wanted a Final Circle.
02:33:59 Das ist Ihr Map-Overhead. Das ist was wir sprechen über.
02:34:26 It is in Heights at the moment. Every single team pretty much already there. It's only the teams that we mentioned previously who aren't there at the moment. Now, you've got to wonder how tough it's going to get in, going to be, excuse me, to get into this zone. I mean, you're looking across a couple of the teams. I mean, Z10, they've got a Valkyrie, which might be something which will be influential towards the endgame a little bit, but they're already, I mean, they're over by Electrodam, so they might be looking to play this one a little bit slower, collect as much EVO as possible, maybe even play for,
02:34:56 A Mythic bin, wenn etwas auf der Seite von der Zone kommt und dann Valcol in ein bisschen später, wenn die Teams starten zu kämpfen. Although, ich denke, weil es Height ist, Valcol in ist, und du Valcol in ist, und du hast den gleichen Level als die Teams, die auf den Topen der Gebäude sind. Und du bist easy pickings. Du bist nicht in den Skyen, und du bist nicht in den Skyen, und du bist auf den Weg mit dem. Jetzt, GG, du bist ein bisschen mit den Engagement hier gegen Danish, auf der Rotation durch. Legion, also in der Region, in der Region, und Ronin, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region, in der Region.
02:35:24 Ja, es wird Dänisch sein. Sie werden die Kastle-Wall gezwungen, aber die Gigi haben die Kastle-Wall geschlossen.
02:35:32 den Newcastle, das heißt, ich werde es nicht mehr haben, wenn es ein paar mehr Alt-Excel in den Backpacks ist. Es gibt eine kleine Veränderung von diesen Teams. Und das ist interessant, wenn man die Stadion sieht, wenn Alter hier ist, wird es sehr unterschiedlich sein, weil man durch diese Wallen kann, man kann die Rotation ein bisschen mehr komfortablieren. Aber ohne Alter in die Composition, jetzt ist es all über, wie ich bereits erwähnt habe, wie ich bereits erwähnt habe, und Teams kann man haltet ihr aus. Ja, es kann sich sehr frustrieren, wenn man auch geteilt hat.
02:36:01 But perhaps you've got the ability maybe just to get aggressive on them, depending on what composition you're going to be running. Legion Gaming are going to be the furthest ahead of those teams now, though. They can start working their way into Zone and avoid all of that commotion that was happening just behind them. Now teams are starting to fly in. Everyone trying to worm their way through. This is going to be Danish that we're currently watching, and they should be able to get ahead of Legion here. This is a race, a race for the choke, and I think they might have beaten them.
02:36:30 Ja, Danisch werden jetzt erst einmal geteilt und jetzt werden sie gleich wieder holen sie aus, weil das Zone ist zu sein, und das Zone ist zu sein. Oh, das ist etwas zu vieles Worte. Wie gesagt, sie sind mehr als bewusst auf ihre Position, und sie sind vielleicht noch mehr als Morph, um sich in eine kleine Rodent-like, eine Art Rodent-like.
02:36:55 Did you say that because there's a pink graffiti on the wall there? I did, yeah. That's where my brain went. By the way, I think Legion know they're there. I'm going to be honest. I'm just looking at the map overhead, and there's just one player from Legion's Arrow staring right at where Danish are. So I'm not sure Danish are...
02:37:13 ... ... ... ... ...
02:37:41 Ich denke, es ist einfach ein Rodent, nicht? Es ist einfach ein Rodent, ja. Es ist gut, dass wir hier sind, um sich zu retten, um sich zu retten und zu retten, um sich zu retten, zu retten und zu retten. Oh, ja. Aber hier sind wir, wie du gesagt hast, wir sind nach dem Norden, und meine Augen sind in der Phase, an dem Moment. Ich habe gesagt, dass wir auf Heitz sind, in der Ring-Console sind, jetzt sehen wir die Zone kommen, und natürlich, sie werden können, um die Ring-Console wieder zu retten.
02:38:07 Das ist ein bisschen mehr Zone-Informationen und gut-undes, sozusagen. Exo-Clan, sie haben sich zu arbeiten. Sie sind auf der outside der Zone. Sie sehen, wo es zu sein wird. Und 30 Sekunden ist genug Zeit für sie zu sein. Aber es ist ein wirklich schweres Rotate. Ich meine, E-Districh ist immer ein schweres Rotate, wenn du da late bist. Aber du hast, dass ein Action ist in fronte von dir, wo ein Opportunity presentiert sich. Und endlich, wir werden sehen, Danish versus GG. Das ist passiert.
02:38:37 Dänisch vielleicht nicht die Team sie erwarten zu sehen und zu sehen, aber sie finden einen Un-Expecting Team in GG. Lofka wird die letzte Spieler sein, aber wir werden sehen Rez kommen, die Lichter zurückgekehrt, und GG zurückgekehrt, um Dänisch zu nehmen. Aber das ist jetzt, wenn Legion kann sagen, wir wissen, was das passiert. Und sie bekommen die letzte Lauf, als GG ist erinnert. Ja, das war ein sehr guter Spiel von Lofka. Er drängt die Spieler zurück nach Newcastle, um das Rez zu versuchen.
02:39:05 Sie finden, dass es ein Schnelly-Mann in fronte ist. Zero Sinassi, in der meantime, als der Caustic-Goal geht. GG. Just fell. GoNex might be looking to add some victims to their kill tally as well. Henchmen on that Caustic. Just trying to get as Schnelly as possible, as you mentioned. Nade's going to hurt quite a lot. Another push comes to him. Wait a minute. Some armor swabs here. All of a sudden, this one's turning on its head. Legion Gaming will eliminate GoNex. That did not look like it was going to happen.
02:39:34 But a few shield swaps being available on the floor for them from that previous fight we just saw keeps them in the fight. And even though they've lost to Newcastle, they should maybe be able to collect that banner.
02:39:49 Using the Crypto Drone, and then look to get a reds. But losing the Newcastle in that fight, probably the one legend you don't want to, knowing how this endgame could potentially go. Should be able to get them back up, though. They've got enough space on this south side where they should be able to avoid anyone else. You can see that beacon's just gone down on the southern tip. Excuse me. So Legion are going to be back up to a 4-3. And now the zone is going to be shifting further northwest. So you mentioned FaZe Clan. You know, they had the ring console.
02:40:17 Sie haben die Info gesehen, aber sie haben gesagt, dass das nicht wirklich sehr hilft, denn wie wir da sind? Als Exoclan jetzt ein paar Maze in hier. Ja, Dragon Force Flat, Fans get excited. Through the fire and the flames, Exoclan might be exploding, and they are eliminated. A little bit too aggressive, they're a very good hold, but now PPR, I've got to refocus on resetting, because there is another team who might be looking at this.
02:40:39 To take advantage of the damage that was done. But that was a, we'll call it a false end. An unsuccessful false end coming in from Exoclan. And it looks like they will be able to reset.
02:40:49 I appreciate the full send. Sometimes when you are in particularly this position in the open streets, you have to take that fight, because otherwise you're just going to be peppered from the team that's within the building. You don't know what's around the next corner. You know, there could be a Rodent, so you have to be careful. And sadly, they're unable to win their fight. It's a tough one, though. Exo obviously don't know where this zone is pulling next, right? But they were kind of isolating. The zone was pulling back to them. Do they need to take that fight?
02:41:16 Es ist ein all-or-nothinges Spiel, wenn es so viele Quads still alive ist, es ist eine solche Rewards-Rewards. Wenn es gut aussieht, wenn es gut aussieht. Wenn es gut aussieht, dann 0 Punkte.
Spannende Entscheidungen und Teamdynamiken im späten Spiel
02:41:30
02:41:30 Ja, manchmal ist das auch der Cookie mit Apex, mit Apex zu nehmen, wenn du das Risiko hast. Legion Gaming, wenn sie das Spiel nehmen, ist das Spiel. Die 2020 ist in der Hand. Legion Gaming hat so gut so far, aber ich bin jetzt sicher, du kannst du es noch einmal machen. Nein, du kannst. Legion Gaming hat 14 Squads left. Ja, Forbidden got me worried, weil hier kommt Cybercats und wir werden sehen Kat, also involviert in das Spiel. FaZe Clan hat eine Kraber, Forbidden Eliminate. 13 Squads now remaining. FaZe will be safe für das nächste...
02:41:59 Zonetik kann also hit the Manscan hier. So, he kann die Leer der Land. Even though he's going to see this Zone pull away from them, the fact that they've got a Kraber in their hands, and they can also hit this Survey Beacon, is going to allow them to see what spaces are available. But what have they got as far as rotation is concerned? Do they manage to find an Evac or something that they can hit a little bit later on from the Heights?
02:42:22 Some interesting decisions to have to be made here by FaZe. Yeah, with their composition, they lack the ability to traverse the map in a way that a Pater Finder Wood or Valkyrie Wood, for example, is now U-Aim are going to be just below. FaZe Clan will hear all this commotion. There's just so many teams, you just like through the glass, you can almost just touch palms with each other, as you all say and accept the same fate of, we have to move now. Can we do it together or do we have to take this fight?
02:42:51 Die Rez ist gekommen. Sie sehen, dass wir die Chance haben. Na'Vi nicht hörte. Na'Vi nicht pushen.
02:43:20 Und Allianz, ich meine, die Newcastle ist jetzt wieder zurückgegangen. Und dann Hackes sagt, jetzt kann ich den Kampf gegen Navi beginnen.
02:43:48 Ich bin, was erinnert. Ich bin, was erinnert.
02:44:16 Und mit seinen Team-Mate, Cyberkats, werden sie finden, dass sie eine Kraber haben. UAM hat sich sehr gut auf den Weg gebracht. Und da ist ein Team rundherum der Körner, die Infine zu versuchen, zu retten von den anderen Seite zu retten, aber sie haben die Chance zu retten, weil der Newcastel ist. Aber Newcastel wird das Spiel verabschiedet. Sie werden nicht in Match 6 sehen, also nicht auf diese Spielstelle. Es ist eine große Möglichkeit für UAM, wenn sie gut retten können, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten, um sie zu retten.
02:44:43 One of those first place finishes that they're so desperate for. Max Trafi is going to be last alive, though. He does have this Kraber still. Doesn't connect this time around. Gonna have to play around knockdowns. There's going to be a shield swap available for him as well. Syringing for the meantime. The knockdown has been taken down. And finally, Yuen will fall. Four squads now remain. Four squads left and a chance to try and put up some big points here for a couple of these squads. Infinite have moved up into the top three in the leaderboard as well.
02:45:08 Und eigentlich, sie haben eine der wenigen Gebäude, die hier sind, also werden sie bleiben. Ronin wird auf der westen Seite sein und BPR unter dem. Und wir sehen ein Rampart für Infinite, also. So ein Fake Cover wird werden, und wir werden noch mehr Rampart in Match 6 sein, aber wir werden darüber reden.
02:45:29 Der BPR muss sehr, sehr schnell sein. Die Zone ist hinter dem. Mein Mann, OptimusFish. Der Grateste der Cyborg-Fish, der mit dem Team geht. Cyborg? Nein, Fax. Alright.
02:45:49 A lot of these teams now that are left are just trying to find as much space as possible to avoid one another because you don't want to be the first team to engage as Ronin have lost one. Ronin do lose one but it's going to be exchanged and Nemesis will now fall as well. So we're into our top three and they will be able to get the res. MG Clutch with that grapple on Pathfinder by the way. Now I want them to win. Was able to get close enough to his teammates and the Newcastle of Jayhanzo to get back to his feet. So Ronin.
02:46:13 Ich sage, sie waren in der Top 3, aber jetzt haben sie noch mehr Punkte auf dem Board.
02:46:40 This is going to be quite the leaderboard to look at after this game is done with just one game remaining. Woo, it's Infinite who come out with a win here in game number five on E-District. And you're looking at those final moments, Dan. I've got to say, playing for second in that situation, recognizing you've got a 1v1 you can take, if you can win that, not only is it KP, like I say, extra placement points on the board, it's good decisions all round. And sometimes it's just a decision that's made in that moment, right? It's fight or flight.
02:47:08 You might be the last player, and the consideration is not how do I win this game, it's how do I pick up as much points as possible. Can I take someone down with me? Infinite put up 19 points. Ronin put up 18 points. These boys don't even have a logo, yet they are 1 and 2 in this game. BPR in 3rd, that's an interesting logo. Nemesis finally, maybe with an official logo coming through, and you aim in 5th place, but big points from Infinite and Ronin.
Ausblick auf das Finale und Legend Bans
02:47:3202:47:32 Yeah, really, really impressive from them. Good KP alongside the placement points, like you say. Looking elsewhere, a little bit scarce. It's a bit top-heavy for those two teams when it comes to points. Newcastle going to be the next one banned, legend-wise, like you mentioned. And this is what it looks like going into our final game of the day. It is one point separating Infinite and Ronin at the top of our leaderboards. Na'Vi chasing them down just under 10 points, 9 points wide.
02:48:00 Es ist viel zu viel zu tun, wir fokussed auf FazeClan, ich sprach über CyberCats, wir sprach über Allianz, die sind noch in die Gespräche, Navi natürlich, aber Infinite und Ronin. Ich meine, Ronin war eine der Teams, dass Reindeck hat gesagt, aber 55 und 54, sie lead die Charge und werden die wahrscheinlich zu gewinnen in dieser Serie. Aber da ist noch eine Chance, natürlich, für die Likes von Navi, über 10 Punkte aus, und wenn sie dann vielleicht auch diese Teams haben, dann könnte es ein bisschen interessant sein.
02:48:28 Matchsticks is going to arguably be the most interesting of today because now we will have our fifth Legend ban. No Newcastle. And we saw how important Newcastle was for so many of those teams throughout that game. Where doth you go now? Where doth you go now? That's what Dan Gas can ask and we'll find out after this break. No Alter, no Newcastle. One map remaining. We're heading back to E-District.
Team-Updates und Strategieanpassungen
02:49:03
02:49:03 We are all very familiar with the damage Oblis, Sangjun and Kurumpu can do together in Apex Legends. They won the Split One Playoffs in Los Angeles and looked unstoppable across that tournament. Tougher times followed, but after all, absence does make the heart grow fonder. They are now reunited to try and rekindle the magic that helped them become the first Apex North Land Champions. Write them off at your peril.
02:49:31 The ALGS Champs in Japan didn't have the dream ending that Fnatic hoped for, and there have been changes in the offseason ahead of Year 5. Replacing Meltztera and Laika is former Reject Winity player Colonel Garcia.
02:49:46 und Meteor's Liebel-Ace. On paper, both of these players lack major LAN experience, both having just one appearance each. However, under the guidance of Fnatic and new coach Shuhei Yamato, there is huge room for growth across Year 5, as he looks to build upon a team that has a great record of showing up when it matters. Colonel Garcia finished second in Year 4's Split 2, and Liebel-Ace took second in both the LCQ and the APAC North BLGS fighters.
02:50:15 Duke F has won the last four Pro League splits back-to-back. Yeah, really. And will have had the pick of almost any teammates he wants. While it would be nearly impossible to find teammates with that level of consistency, it does seem a slight risk to team with two players who, despite stepping up when it matters, have not yet found consistent success at the highest level.
02:50:41 NoiseFox ist eine andere Team mit einem neuen Look für Jahr 5, mit Arrufa und FNATIC-FNATIC-FNATIC-FNATIC-FNATIC-FNATIC-FNATIC-FNATIC-FNATIC-FNATIC-FNATIC-FNATIC-FNATIC-FNATIC
02:50:59 im Jahr 3. Sie performen sehr gut in der Zeit zusammen, mit einem sehr speckten 6th in Mannheim, 3rd in L.A., und mit einem Jahr 4 Pro-League-Split. Jetzt mit dem Rufa, er wird erhört, seine Aggressionen und erhört, und er hat die Kraft in Skirmisher-Legend. Er hat ein guter Pro-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League-Score-League
02:51:28 Das ist eine große Helping-Hand für Noisevox zu starten in APAC North.
02:51:45 Ja, ich denke, wir werden jetzt jetzt schauen, Leute, um sich über die Ballistik zu machen.
02:52:08 Krypto kommt in es auch. Ich meine, es geht nicht wirklich darum, wer ist die meisten gespielt hier. Aber für Science, und zu denken über Matchpoint in der Zukunft, ist es immer interessant zu sehen, was wird die Majority gespielt werden. Als wir zurückkehren, die Final Circle der Match 5 sind, war ein bisschen hecht. Es war ein Team, es war ein bisschen hecht. Es war ein Team, es war ein paar Spiele zu bekommen, zu avoid den ersten Team zu nehmen. Aber BPR, sie hat so viel damage zu den Team, die waren auf dem Toppen. Aber es war einfach in die Hand von Infinite. Sie sah was passiert.
02:52:38 Und es war nur ein Problem, wenn es erreicht hat. Es war sehr easy, eigentlich, von der POV für Infinite. Aber sie haben sich jetzt in die Top 2. Es wird Infinite und Ronin als die Favoriten zu nehmen hier in Match 6. Ja, wirklich gut play von Hoodie, als auch, zu isolieren, das 1v1-1, zu machen, dass sie 2nd place sind, als das extra point. Das kann man die Unterschiede machen. Wir sehen, wie tight es ist, auf der Topf der Leaderboards ist.
02:53:01 in the overall standings and you might look back on a moment like that when the games are done here today as the one that gave you the difference between first place second place third place who knows we'll have to see how this one plays out but it's always fun for me as well just looking at different things here looking at ballistic having that rampage as the sling weapon as well it's such a thing you have to be worried about when you go into a fight now knowing that if you see a ballistic it's more than likely they're going to have that charged up rampage in the sling it just again adds another dynamic to a team fight
02:53:28 Ja, es wirklich...
02:53:45 You know, those players who historically would track compositions, track skins that people are playing and everything like that, their job just got 10 times harder, if not impossible at this point of, oh wait, which Caustic team played this skin? Yeah, you're never going to be able to track that in any reality, but going into match 6, I think we're going to see a lot more Rampart. We saw a couple...
02:54:05 Aber wenn man sich über die E-District wünschen, was Newcastle offers und jetzt ist es nicht mehr, weil er es nicht mehr gibt, vielleicht Rampart kann das machen.
02:54:28 Hold ground, hold buildings, hold space. And I think that we started to see it creeping a little bit in that last game. And I think that may be where teams start to lean. But our legend bands from week number one here at Amita just to run you through. Ash, she was first to go. Then it was Wraith. Then it was Catalyst. Then it was Alter. And now we find ourselves with the final game of the day. With those legends on your screen still available that do not find themselves with a red X next to them.
02:54:53 Well remembered, by the way, I will say. Just being able to keep on track with that. Paying attention. Without a graphical asset of saying what number it was. Thank you.
02:55:00 Aber wer wird in Match 6 geholfen? No one! Weil das letzte Spiel in dieser Serie ist und eine Chance für die Teams zu machen für sich in Week 1. Will es be Infinite? Will es Ronin? Will wir die reinen Welt-Champs, Na'Vi, finden die Punkte zu nehmen? Da ist nur eine Möglichkeit, als wir in E-District gehen. Und meine Frage ist, wer werden wir sehen, als die Best-Picked-Legend hier? Will wir sehen mehr Rampart? Will es mehr Ballistik? Nur eine Möglichkeit.
02:55:27 Also, you can see the Challenger Circuit is about to start as well, so head over and check that out if you want to compete in the ALGS, if you want a chance at getting yourself into the Pro League, getting yourself to one of these huge events that we do have going throughout the year, and maybe being the next name that we're talking about on broadcast. But full focus now onto our final game of the day. Amir has not disappointed. It has been an amazing day of action so far. Let's see who closes out.
02:55:54 Noobie times for some of the teams that are in the bottom 10 as well, that were in the spotlight a little bit. I hate to say it again, but FaZe Clan down in the lower end of this lobby. One big game though, and they can give themselves quite a lot of points to try and at least give themselves a shot of staying within the conversation as we move further. It is only week one, so of course, no reason to panic just yet with the aim being...
02:56:19 Regional Finals, eventually, and then qualifying for the mid-season playoffs as the eventual goal as well. And the fun thing is, Marc, we're going to get to see all these teams in action in the ALGS Open prior to those Regional Finals and prior to the playoffs happening. So we'll get a sneak peek of what they look like on LAN as well. 160 teams. That's a lot of teams. Gives me a mild amount of anxiety, but also a lot of excitement at the same time.
02:56:46 Thank God I'm not in charge of sorting out the travel. Anyway, let's focus on where we're going in this final game. We're going towards the north. Good for Na'Vi. Good for Cybercats. And Na'Vi, who are a team within striking distance, of course, of taking home first place. Our current world champions. Might be able to close out here, Dan. It's a great zone for them. Just trying to count out the amount of legends as well that are popping up. A few more Bangalore is going to be there. Mad Maggie I'm seeing pop up. Valkyries. There's not a lot of Caustic. Actually...
02:57:15 All the Caustics that were in Selection, only one of them has survived. I think that's because a lot of the teams who were selecting Caustic previously maybe struggled and felt like they needed something else to chase points here in Match 6. So you start to get more aggressive compositions, which is another factor of the Match 6 effect. Not only have you got five Legends banned, but you've also got people that are just searching for points here. So start to change things up and go for Legends that might allow for that aggression. The likes of Ballistic, for example, which is why we're seeing more of him.
02:57:44 Got Lifeline, got some more Ramparts for sure, but Mad Maggie I think is the notable addition. Yeah. Ronin's still running the Pathfinder, by the way. Love that from you guys. Certainly more playable now with the skirmish of perks, or I should say the skirmish of changes that we saw from the latest patch. As we jump on board with GoNex, 7th place overall, 30 points on the board, and with how close it is, one big game here.
02:58:10 Und das ist ein sehr guter Start für sie.
02:58:37 A win and some kills, and they could put themselves a 20-point game, which does send them up to the same kind of numbers as Infinite. Speaking of Infinite, they're in an early fight here. This could be an opening for a lot of other teams if they go down. Yeah, it's just a little bit of a scuffle, maybe just an exchange to see if one team can control both buildings. It looks like everybody's decided that, you know what, let's just relax a little bit. But the problem for Infinite here, as the care package comes down, it makes it even more tempting to leave this building.
02:59:06 Ja, BPR ist jetzt jetzt nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein, und es wird nur ein,
02:59:34 Geht ein bisschen weiter aus der Zone zu kommen. Und Na'Vi wird Center-Zone dabei. Du hast nicht gesehen, Optimus-Fisch. Cyborg. Ich bin wieder. Cyborg-Fisch-Mechanical-Gills.
02:59:53 Do you think Transformers are Cyborg? Dan told me to stop speaking. Infinite inside of this building. What I was going to say about the composition, right? Across from Cybercats. If I'm not mistaken, Cybercats have Mad, Maggy and Fuse in their composition. So it's going to be so difficult to avoid consistent riot drills, knuckle clusters that are coming in. If Cybercats get an opportunity to strike and find some damage, we know that there's a type of team who will take it. So it's going to be a very tough hold for them.
03:00:21 This one fight on our screens could impact the entirety of this series, which is quite scary. And going up against CyberCats as well, a team who is not afraid to be aggressive when the moment does present it to themselves.
03:00:35 See whether that fight eventually breaks out as Gaming Gladiator's 8th position at the moment on 29 points. They would need a big game, maybe a record-breaking game to be able to win this lobby, but they can certainly put themselves further up in the leaderboard. They haven't been bad today, but not been as exciting as maybe they have been previously. GG. A little bit of drone work at the moment.
03:00:59 Let's see if they can scope a couple of teams out on their rotation for now it looks like hats are down to just two and tax is I'm gonna pop some shield cell just to see if he can survive but they've lost Adam This is looking like a rescue a situation for them
03:01:17 Briefly saw the Legend pick rates at the top there. Something that we were discussing earlier. You can see the amount of picks for the compositions. Some teams exactly the same as others. But variety, as we've mentioned time and time again. Just how different some of these comms can be. Just off of preference of Legends. And also how deep that Legend pool is for you. As now we can see this squad back on their feet. Nemesis will be walking up onto Go Next though.
03:01:45 I think they heard them, so that's why they're just gonna back off here and try and reposition. I sit down in 17 for 17 points, which makes my logical brain a small part of it that's left very happy. The small part of your brain is logical? Yeah, the small part of my brain that's logical that's left.
03:02:09 Wir haben jetzt einen Rettetriebe für heute, als wir sehen uns jetzt. Wir haben jetzt einen Schuss in, auf die Low-Ground. Plexus ist jetzt noch ein für Legion Gaming, die haben sich ein interessiert. Sie sehen, dass sie 17 Punkte und 16 Punkte sind, aber es geht nicht so gut, aber sie haben wirklich gut gemacht.
03:02:26 Ja, ich denke, wenn du an scrims und du an scrims sehen kannst, und die Leute nehmen, und sie müssen lernen, ob sie sind schrecklich sind oder nicht. Würde sie passieren in einem konkurrenten Bereich?
03:02:40 Did we find success just because we did something that was a little bit idiotic, or was it a case of a good push? And I think you find out when you go into actual competitive games, when you're scared to make that same push, you learn that, okay, what we did in scrims maybe wasn't the smart play, and perhaps we ruined a game for someone else. GG now rotating themselves in and around BPR, finding the bottom floor of this building. EMP is going to go in. I think they're going to try and play off of this, taking the second floor here, Lufka.
03:03:08 Er ist nicht in der Newcastle mehr, denn der Legend hat sich gegründet. Er wird gegen den Nix gewonnen. P20s wird es tun. Und auch auf der Fuge, er wird viel Arbeit gemacht. Ja, er wird viel Arbeit gemacht. Gaming Gladiator jetzt hat die Hand in der Kampf. Das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein, das ist ein.
03:03:28 Gamer Gladiators push themselves up into 7th position. Now, as I said, still doable, albeit unlikely to be winning this lobby, but we might see them within the top three if they have a good game here. Getting really, really good reset there. And you saw again the effect of Ballistic having that charged up Rampage in the sling can just output so, so much damage. As we take a look at our map overhead, we take a look at the zone and it is pulling more towards the north. And if you're looking at the position of Na'Vi, are they playing for a pullback or are...
03:03:56 They are now in a position where they're thinking, we're going to have to make a little bit of a traverse here, maybe one that we didn't want to make. It's a difficult rotate for a lot of these teams, actually, because even though it's quite central, which would...
03:04:08 So those two teams arguably could be some favorites already in this game to might take the win here.
03:04:38 Ich weiß, dass ich jetzt nicht mehr von der LGS-Pro-League habe.
03:05:07 Ja, ja, ja, ja.
03:05:21 Die P2020 gibt es manchmal, aber manchmal kann es nicht so sein. Es kann so sein, wenn es nicht so ist. Aber es kann einfach nicht so sein, wenn es nicht korrekt wird. Aber es bleibt Navi alive, so sie haben vielleicht eine Chance, um sie wieder zurückzunehmen. Wir haben jetzt eine große Herausforderung.
03:05:43 Ars Paralive ist hier auch, und das ist Gonext Eliminated. Der Tag ist fertig, hier in Week 1, und die Pro League, NX Esports, wird sie runter und werden können. Aber Faze ist nicht gut, wieder zu sehen. Synetik, in der Zone zu sehen, wie die Last alive für seine Team. Und Faze ist voll, wieder zu sehen. 17 squads bleiben, als Faze exit die Lobby in 18th. Und Sie, Aime, wird wieder zurückgekommen. Sie haben einfach einen 3. Sie haben einfach gespawned Artiko und Sanya.
03:06:10 A couple of days ago, I watched FaZe's top scrims. It was an eight-match scrim, but still, they were putting so much points on the board, but just not been able to find the same amount of success here in AB as they did in that scrim earlier. So they're going to need a big week, too, to try and catch up for lost points here in the first week. But enough about FaZe and more about the teams that are still alive. You can see Zidane just bled out, so Na'Vi down to just one officially.
03:06:37 Und Exo, natürlich, wird das K.P. Legion Gaming ist noch in der 16. Aber sie werden von der Süd-East. Atlas wird von der Süd-East. Und Annex wird von der Süd-East auch. Also, sie senden die Dronen, um ein bisschen mehr Informationen zu bekommen. Infinite ist in der Zentren-Zone, bei der momentan. Das ist für sie. Die BIN-RESET zwischen Infinite und Cybercats. Sie sind in den Städten, die wir in den Start gesehen haben. Uchi wird sehr glücklich sein, dass er sich selbst...
03:07:05 Ja, ein paar Qualitä-of-Life-updates kamen von der Re-Spawn-Team in der EA zu geben, die uns mehr exciting Dinge in der Endgame geben, so dass, wenn man nicht able to loot up, wenn man starved von Loot...
03:07:29 Du hast das extra 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-
03:07:53 We'll have to watch on from the Observer screen for the rest of this game as Legion Gaming have to force their way towards Zone ExoClan. Oh, I turned that back at just the wrong time and Kaosick will get out first. Goes down and Legion Gaming with a chance to really take out Kay Swinney. The P2020 is maybe going to come back to haunt him, but from the other side now, Arctic tries to hold off for Kay Swinney to escape, I think, but I don't know whether it's going to be successful. There is a few little nooks and crannies you can hide and run around here.
03:08:21 Ja, Sweeney ist nicht so easy zu finden. Und das wird der Ende der Exo-Clan, als auch. Alliant ist noch in dieser Lobby. GG ist in einem sehr guter Platz, auch. Auf der westen Seite dieser Zone, Atlus ist noch ein Solo dabei, dass sie ein bisschen bemerkbar sind. GG versucht zu über-Extend hier zu bekommen, aber Annex hat eine.
03:08:50 Ja, ein paar KP haben bereits geholfen von GG. Wenn sie sich in diesem Endgame befinden.
Entscheidende Momente und Team-Eliminierungen im Endspiel
03:09:18
03:09:18 So they might have something to say on these overall leaderboards. Gonna have to go through another team as we jump on board with Kat here. Couple of kill points going their way. Ronin have been eliminated, so they will be able to pick up those kills and reset very, very comfortably here. Kraber in the hands of Taxi as well. So let's see if he can find a few big, big shots to force their way in towards Zone. They're just on the outside of it for now, but one shot with this Kraber creates an opportunity. I mean, Ronin eliminated. What an opening that is for Infinite here.
03:09:45 ... die Nr. 1-Finishing-Team. Na'Vi wurde auch wieder eliminiert. Aber das bedeutet, dass andere Teams vielleicht auch noch ein paar Teams verabschieden können. Ich meine, was ein Tag für Infana, könnte es sein für Infana. Ein Team, die von der PSQ kam aus dem PSG und jetzt versuchen zu versuchen, 1st Platz hier in Week 1 in Pro League.
03:10:06 Oh GG, sie sind wirklich gut so far, aber es ist Trait early in dieser Kampf. Sie müssen ihre Weg zur Zone. Die E-Virate ist Spray, es ist nicht ganz verbunden, aber es ist Glück genug, Lufka ist da zu Ende. Blaster hat sich nicht gewusst, dass sie nicht die Ballistik zurückkommen sind. Es wird ein Hard Reset sein, wenn es nicht. Vielleicht ist es nur der Ende der Spiel für GG und E-Sport zu halten.
03:10:28 I mean, what a turn around there, just to actually deal some damage and stop Annex from pushing out, but it won't matter. GG do get eliminated, as do stay healthy. We're down to nine squads, a lot of teams falling here just because there's no room to play, all these chokeholds, and no Legends to help you. You don't have the Alter, you don't have the Newcastle, and it means sometimes you just have to take these fights pretty raw and use Gun Skill instead. Zero Tenacity also go down, eight teams left.
03:10:53 Cybercats über-Extendung zu Ende des Spiels, von dem Gebäude sie waren in ein paar Zeit. Infinite ist es, um zu Purples, in der Gebäude sie waren in von der sehr, sehr Start des Spiels. Allianz, die in 5th place sind, als Dänisch wird, wahrscheinlich denken das ist ihre Chance zu gewinnen. Sie haben mehr Platz als sie haben in einem früheren Spiel. Sie haben clear Rotation, und jetzt können sie einfach nur fighten. Mit diesen Eliminations, Infinite ist jetzt 1st place.
03:11:21 Und ich glaube nicht, dass sie nicht mehr werden können. Aber wer wird das Spiel gewinnen? 5-Squads remain. Allianz, können sie sich direkt auf den Topen bringen. Das 52-Point-Mark ist jetzt bei Infinite. Das ist noch nicht möglich. Allianz könnte sich das ganze Tag gewinnen, wenn sie die KPMG gewinnen. Und der Unterschied ist, dass die Lägen-Banz ist, dass die Lägen-Banz ist, dass es alles für alle zu wissen ist. No Newcastle, no Alta, no Jabraltas in der line-up ist.
03:11:50 Everybody is having to play, like you say, with raw gun skill and simple positioning around the geometry of the map. It's been a fascinating change in place in this final game. And the amount of assault characters we're seeing as well, just to be able to get that damage, get the shield off, and then get that info so you can push that fight, you can be aggressive. CyberCat's still alive in this building, they've been hit right from the start, but they might be...
03:12:12 Ich liebe das Spiel von Janz, es gibt mehr mit dem R99-Spray, und dann geht's, bleibt's, bleibt's, bleibt's, wird's nicht überkommiert, und dann gibt's Cybercats die Chance zu fully reset hier. Aber Cybercats, für jetzt, sind sie alle in einer Karte. Annex eSports, sie werden das erste Stock auf dem Taskmaster. Die Mothalone geht in als auch, und sie versuchen zu gegen die Fight.
03:12:31 Wir wollen die fighten. Wir bekommen den ersten Knochen. Aber wie sind sie angekommen? Sie sind auch sicher, dass ein Team Infinite aus der anderen Knochen kommt. Die Nummer 1 Team. Die Team der Leitung, die von PSQ kamen, durch die Qualifizierung. Die Team der Pro-League-Week-Number-One. Und sie versuchen, eine Statement zu machen. Die Damage sind in fronte von ihnen. Cybercats sind auch noch alive. All drei Spieler sind noch alive. Natürlich nicht so gesund wie sie wollen, aber gesund genug zu kommen und versuchen, diese Kampf zu versuchen.
03:13:00 Die Zonen ist zinging weg. Die Zonen ist zinging weg. Die Zonen ist zinging weg. Die Zonen ist zinging weg. Die Annyx hat die Spieler verloren. Er hat seine Team-Ate life in der Lowen ground. Und wo sind die Allianz? Die Allianz controlen alles.
03:13:19 3 squads now remaining Alliance just overlooking all of this they control the most ground here but there is so much space to play for everybody the difference in pace in this game from game 4 and game 5
03:13:48 So, so notable. We have so much space with three squads alive, nobody on top of each other. And I think this is the most time you're going to have in an Apex Legends Global Series lobby to reset as a top three situation.
03:14:02 Ich denke, es gibt noch viele Punkte für Allianz zu catchen, die wahrscheinlich hat die Warte auf die Warte auf die Warte zu gewinnen, aber eine Chance für Allianz zu senden sich weiter auf diese Leaderboards und bekommen mehr Punkte in den Overalls. Allianz hat das Gebäude, hat Grenades, hat Utilität und es wird Cybercats down low und Allianz und Allianz und Allianz watching von oben. Cybercats haben die Maggi auch.
03:14:24 Und wenn sie eine Wrecking Ball in dieser Final Zone bekommen, könnte es GG für alle anderen in der Lobby werden. Wir werden sehen, ob das hat einen Influencer. Schieler auch in der Arsenal hier. Auf der anderen Seite für Allianz ist es Fuse und die Motherline. Vielleicht wird es nur Raw Gunskill von EFFECT. Great shots von den P2020s, aber niemand going down. Ja, notice wie er nicht drauf ist da. Das würde einfach nur geben. Allianz denken sie können das Spiel. Sie sehen, wo Infina kommt, und du kannst die zwei Team zusammen.
03:14:53 Allianz send themselves into the top 3 of the overalls, just a few points shy of Ronin in the end, and they do not catch.
03:15:20 Infinite, es wird Infinite, die wir hier in Pro-League-Week 1 sind, die Team von PSQ kamen. Ich meine, es ist eine andere Geschichte, die wir von Na'Vi gesehen haben, von Challengers, von Qualifiers, bis zum Championship. Können Infinite werden die nächste Team, die wir über den Ende dieser Saison reden reden? Es wird ein Team geben, sicherzustellen. Was ein Phänomenal start es für sie in Week 1 war. Wir sehen uns die match-resultaten. Es war Allianz, die mit 17 Punkte kamen, die 5 Kp haben.
03:15:49 Alongside the 12 for that first place finish. Fantastic. Infinite was 16 just behind them and certainly enough to solidify their place at the top of the leaderboards elsewhere where we look at maybe quiet days for a couple of teams. You look at the likes of Exoclan. You're looking at FaZe. I think Na'Vi will be a bit disappointed with how their day ended after the first five games looking so, so good. But overall, you're looking at the top of the leaderboards. Alliance with that win.
03:16:13 I think today has been a tough day for Alliance for some of the zones they've had to play, but coming out with a win in that final game certainly just reminds us how good this squad is. Yeah, I think Alliance showed great resilience throughout the games where, as you mentioned, was a difficult rotation for them, but they once again display their dominance and why they are arguably one of the best, if not the best team in EMEA. Regardless of previous results, when you look across their consistency throughout the entirety of Year 4, they are definitely up there with the likes of Na'Vi as one of the best teams in the world.
03:16:41 Let's bring Rainnay back in as we head towards our series results just to confirm who is going to be winning things. Rainn, what a crazy end. What a different feeling E-District game that was without the likes of Newcastle in those compositions.
03:16:53 Yeah, it's beautiful to see, guys, and great call as well. I mean, pointing out all these differences and what teams have to adapt to. Specifically, I thought it was interesting how sometimes you do have these things that we break down around the lineups, but it's sometimes a lineup that doesn't need any breaking down. It's just about gun skill. It's just about putting yourself in a position to actually win that fight through just the angles that you're taking. Apex has so many different dynamics, but we got to see almost like a raw version of Apex there, which is...
03:17:22 Ich liebe die Tempo-Shift.
03:17:41 Dan Gaskin, ahead of Alliance. What a performance from our PSQ teams. Thank you for using my official title. I appreciate it. If anyone can do it, it's rain day. That's all I'm saying. I will take it. The knighthood. Thank you very much. But yeah, what a performance from Infinite. I know I've mentioned it a few times already, but to do it from PSQ to now be leading Pro League in Week 1, I think is an eye-opener for how different this season could be. And maybe...
03:18:11 Those ranked grinders, those teams that are good with plenty of legends are finding success. It doesn't matter what composition that you're using. I am very intrigued. I'm going to go back and I'm going to check what composition they were using throughout game one through to game six to look at how much changes did they have? Did they try and play something a little bit under the radar? They are a team who have really kind of opened the eyes for everyone else in the lobby.
03:18:32 Yeah, and how fast are you navigating this? I think a lot of teams with experience, you look at Alliance, right? They've somehow found a way. They didn't win today. They won that last game. They somehow found a way to get the results that they needed, even though it wasn't necessarily a day where they were the dominant force. They show their experience is able to make adjustments on the fly. Some of these PSQ teams, though, we don't know how deep that roster goes for them to be able to play. So Ronin Infinite obviously showcasing that even if you have the backing of a team like Alliance or not as Vincere,
03:19:02 There's still ways for you to be effective as a player here heading into this pro league where things are different. And that's kind of the season theme for year five. We've got new maps. We've got new adjustments happening. We've also got new opportunities for you to showcase your skill. So a team like Infinite being able to get the job done, it's a great sign of what is to come where maybe year five is going to see a new champion.
03:19:28 again, which would be very, very exciting as we saw in year four as well. Mark, I kind of want to get your final thoughts too on this. Like you mentioned how different it was. What to you was the most striking element of the difference that happened in that final game? Was it just the bands? Was it the state of the game? People do sometimes throw a little bit at the wall, right? At that final game, just to see what's happening. But what happened about those bands that made it flow that way? I think it was kind of
03:19:55 Ich glaube, es war eine große Herausforderung für E-District. Es war mehr open ground. Und wenn du nicht haben eine Newcastle, all of a sudden, du bist in der Open. Especially wenn du ein bisschen später in der Zone bist, du hast einen Priority Positions. Es ist nicht so viel artificial cover für dich zu spielen. Teams sind für KP on Edgezone, knowing dass sie nicht wirklich tun, was die Endgame.
03:20:21 Ich denke, in der Karte, es ist die meisten Zeit, dass wir ein Top 3 sehen, mit jeder zu haben, zu resetten, zu nehmen, zu nehmen. Das ist etwas, was wir nicht normalerweise sehen. Und es ist nur wegen der Legend bans, das wir sehen. Es ist ein sehr guter Beispiel, was zu erwarten von diesem Jahr. Und ich denke, es wird eine der größten Zeit, die wir immer hatten, weil jeder Spiel ist anders, egal ob Legend bans, Map bans, was es vielleicht. Es wird so, so fun, zu sehen, diese Teams gehen.
03:20:49 I mean, a great response, too. And I think it's interesting. We don't necessarily feel settled. I think that's kind of the thing watching this. Every game felt different in its own way. And that allowed some teams to stand out like Infinite. It also allowed some traditional high performers to stand out as well as we introduce you to our Sony in-zone kill leader race. As, of course, that is one of the things we like to highlight. Those top performers throughout the day. Yes, it was about Infinite. But somebody?
03:21:18 Er ist Leite. Er ist Leite. Er ist Leite.
03:21:44 A position where Gaming Gladiators, they perform well, but maybe had a lot of hopes around them. This isn't the start necessarily to Pro League that would make them feel like we're back on track exactly. Obviously, wanting to take the win would be important. But the fact that Light is still performing well, and you can see the Lufka and Blast synergy is still there, certainly marks still a team that is a part of the conversation in terms of the best EMEA, despite it going infinite's way today.
03:22:09 Ja, ich denke, es ist ein guter Finish von ihnen, eine wirklich solid Week 1. Ich denke, jeder Team, die in Week 1 in der Pro-League kommt, eine solid Finish, etwas sie können. Ein Team wie Faze kommt in diese Woche, wie Dan gesagt, sieht gut aus den Scrim-Games und dann in Week 1 in der Pro-League.
03:22:25 Oh, no, we need to go away and rethink exactly maybe how we're approaching these games, because they've played out a little bit different. So as long as you're solid enough, top six, top seven, I think you're going to be happy knowing that the work you've done looks like it's been successful. There's probably some things to work on, of course, but this is going to be a learning process for everyone, I think. This is the first week of real lobbies. This is the first week where everyone is playing for the most points they can get out of a lobby, not just...
03:22:50 Dan, do you feel that there's some element of like kind of recapping today where you build a lot of momentum as a team, you know, you look at Alliance, you look at Gaming Gladiators, but then Apex kind of changes underneath you. You also have a new year happening and you have these new kind of pace things that are coming up, the Legend Bands obviously.
03:23:14 Is it hard, do you feel, for a team with experience who's had a little momentum going into this year to keep that up? Or do you think, hey, the fact that they've got the experience is actually the gift for them. They're going to be able to handle all these changes. Yeah, I think experience is going to play a big part because it's about adapting at the end of the day. Yes, some of the more experienced teams might not have found success today, but they will be the quickest to learn and change things going into week two. And I think...
03:23:40 What we've learned from today and about this meta is it's about adapting on the fly throughout every single match. And whether you have the plan of, all right, we're going to go under the radar a little bit and go for a composition that allows us to stay similar so that we're not having to change, or we're so confident in one of our players changing legends every single game that we are happy to fit the meta, for example.
03:24:00 So for a team like Alliance, for example, were they happy that they fit the meta? Were they happy that they followed those bands? Or would they prefer to do something a little bit more consistent? That's going to be the discussion that will happen for a lot of these teams that are more experienced. Some of the newer teams are probably just going to go with the punches and see what happens elsewhere. And maybe they'll adapt and maybe they'll follow. And I was looking at the Legend selection for Infinite. Interestingly...
03:24:24 Kiz stayed on Crypto Games 1-3 and then Rampart 4-6, but Vushi actually changed legend every single game and was often the meta legend. I think there's a lot of credit to be shown to Vushi for being able to do that and being able to put up so much success being a different legend and how important players like that are on your squad.
03:24:43 Yeah, it does. It does kind of, you know, the player that we're going to be previewing in a little bit here in North America, reps, you know, the conversation of, you know, this is what I love. This is kind of my thing. I've always been flexible. I've always had the ability to outperform by my kind of experience across the board. And that is truly a different play style than someone who just hyper is successful on maybe a more aggressive meta or a more defensive meta. And I think that's starting to now be the players that we can highlight looking into year five.
03:25:13 Also a call for people who are not in that position to say, hey, flexibility is the name of the game. Now that we've seen this in action after day one in EMEA. We also saw a new name on top of the leaderboard today, and it was infinite. And we have a chance to talk with them as well.
03:25:31 Listen, I know that this is, you know, we're usually talking to Alliance. We're talking to Gaming Gladiators. The fact is we got EQ up here with us from Infinite. Congratulations on the win and thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. How are you feeling?
03:25:47 I'm feeling good, like the victory, you know? So when you're winning, it sounds good every time. You are very happy. I can sleep well. So it's good. I didn't sleep for three weeks, for three days. So so much stress, so much effort, and we won. Yeah. Well, you made a moment happen here, which is amazing. Coming from the PSQ and now winning Pro League, obviously stressful. You're having this opportunity.
03:26:16 In front of you, though, is there a little bit about you that maybe people don't know that you're on the stage? You can help just explain a little bit of your journey getting here.
03:26:25 Ich habe viel Erfahrung. Ich habe bereits drei Jahre Erfahrung. Die erste Mal, wenn ich in die Pro-League kam, haben wir bereits einen Tag gewonnen. Das war mit Voschi, mit Vesidio. So diese Mal haben wir diese Erfahrung, um zu gewinnen. Das ist gut.
03:26:47 Wir machen die PSQ und wir haben zwei Probleme. Me und Voschier, wir arbeiten wie ein Job, so wir arbeiten 35 Stunden pro Woche. Und wir haben so viel Disziplin, wir arbeiten harder. Und wir haben gesagt, wir spielen zusammen, Leute. Und wir werden es machen. Und Kizaroun ist viel harder, viel harder IGL. So, ich denke, die Wins ist wegen des Kizaroun IGL. Danke, Kizaroun.
03:27:15 Congratulations on the win. You say you haven't slept for three days. It's been very stressful. How different is this season for you as a team with the legend bands? How much more thinking has to go into your game plans ahead of a week like this?
03:27:33 The things is, like me, I'm lucky to play only two characters. I'm playing Watson and Newcastle. So it's fine, because I have this whole experience in this character. But for example, Woshi, like the fragger, the fragger people now, they have to learn so much character. And when you're learning so much character, you have to use all the abilities. And sometimes, like, you forgot you have these abilities. Like, for example, a bang guilt when you're pushing a building because you're playing bang.
03:28:02 Und das ist viel schwieriger. Aber die gute Sache ist, dass es League of Legends ist. Es ist viel schwieriger. Ich weiß nicht, wenn du gewinnen bist, du bist so glücklich. Weil du musst auf multiple Teams spielen, multiple squads, multiple Charaktere spielen. Und es ist sehr, sehr lustig. Du musst besser lernen. Und ich denke, es ist einfach nur Leute, keine Stress.
03:28:29 Be focused on your character. They're going to not make a misplay. And that's a better team winning when they're making that. Like, they have the focus players. You know, it's interesting, you know, kind of wrapping up. I want to give you a little bit more of a window to talk about anyone that you want to kind of highlight or just share this moment with. I feel like you're still getting to it. Like, you just won day one of Pro League in year five. You know, this is a huge deal, you know, against people who have lifted trophies for half.
03:28:58 So I just want to give you this moment as much as you can. So is there anyone you want to shout out, talk to or describe, you know, about this for your final thoughts, because it's great to have you and we're so excited for what you guys are going to do in the future.
03:29:15 Thank you, thank you. I didn't tell Justin, like, can you repeat, please? Yeah, like, what is this? Is there anyone you want to shout out? Is there anything else that you want to expand on? Because I think this is a big moment for you guys. I know you're kind of in the zone. You haven't slept, maybe, and you're just kind of in the stress. But, like, the fact that you guys are, you're the champion of day one, I feel like that's pretty momentous. So I just want to give you the time if you want to shout out anybody supporting and just, yeah, give you more time. All right.
03:29:44 Vielen Dank an meine Familie, an meine Freunde. Und wir haben keine Org. Wir suchen Org, okay? Wir werden diese Lande gewinnen. Wir werden so viel Arbeit, so viel Arbeit, so viel Arbeit. Wir haben die Talente, wir können. Wir haben die Feuerpower. Wir müssen nur arbeiten und sein Freunde. Wir haben so viel Liebe in den Spiel. Und wenn du mit deinen Team in den Spiel mit deinen Team machst...
03:30:13 you're gonna win this is the key love in the game i love that eq thank you so much for hanging out with us and congrats again to infinite on taking the win in day one of amia in our year five pro league congrats man and we'll see you soon bye bye guys thank you
03:30:32 All right, man, what a great interview. I mean, I love the element of just kind of being in the moment. And to me, he's still here. I think we heard him a little bit. He's heading out. Thanks to our producers for wrapping that up. But Mark, just really, really, you know, I love the sentiments there. You put the time in with the team that you love and good things happen. Yeah, that's what I tell Dan every time he moans at me when we play around. He should just show me some more love. But, you know, it's true, right? It's the hard work. It's the passion. It's everything you want to hear from someone who's...
03:31:00 He's going essentially from, you know, three years of experience playing, competing, and now having his moment. And he just wants to go on and do more. I love, like, we're going to go to, we're going to win, lad. I love that. Guys, let's kind of start to wrap it up because, of course, what a great day in EMEA. Dan, this set the tone for Year 5, right? And obviously you see Infinite coming in from PSQ. I feel like that, again, is just only a symbol of Year 5 is going to give us the unexpected. It's going to give us something different and exciting as well.
03:31:29 Yeah, and it leads to the question of, you know, how is Americas going to look when we get to that later as well? We had a few heavy hitters in EMEA, but maybe the unexpected victor comes through. Is that going to be the same thing when we get to Americas? Are the usual suspects going to top the leaderboards or will someone who maybe comes out of nowhere and puts their name on the map as well? I think one thing we learned today is that anything can happen. The Legend Bands are very exciting. We're seeing so many different ways of trying to play the game, and this is going to be a fun season for sure.
03:31:57 Well, speaking of the Americas, as we let Dan and Mark go, it's time to look forward just like Yi Q was doing with Infinite. He's going all the way to the ALGS Open. I'm just going into like the next hour because Americas are coming up. That's right. Your favorite teams all across the board will be playing to finish off our doubleheader of the day. What an exciting time. And we'll be starting that off in just about an hour.
03:32:27 Also, the Open, like I mentioned, that's May 1st or 4th. Grab your tickets now. Throw up your phone. Use that camera and go instantly to book your spot at what will be...
03:32:39 As it always is, the best Apex Legends event ever. We somehow find a way to keep outdoing ourselves. Big shout out as well to PlayApex Esports. Make sure to follow us on all things there for Apex Updates and when we go live. My name has been Randy. Thank you to everyone behind the scenes, Esports Engine. Of course, my talent with us, Dan and Mark. We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, Americas is on. Congrats on a great year five. We can't wait to see you there.
03:33:09 Okay.
