ALGS Year 3 Last Chance Qualifiers: EMEA und Nordamerika kämpfen um Championship-Plätze
00:03:32
00:03:32 It's a beautiful day in London. Oh, wait. We're not there anymore. I'm so sad. But guess what? I'm still happy because we've got the best Matchpoint Finals show coming up for you today, even if we're not in the UK. I miss it already, and I know you probably miss it as well. What a fantastic week it has been. Just...
00:03:54 Reeling from the excitement that we experience in the Copper Box Arena. But the excitement continues in the ALGS today as we crown two teams to join us at the biggest event of the year, Championships. My name is Rain Day. I'll be your host today. We've got a slew of amazing talent. I want to introduce our first one, though, because he's bold. He's beautiful. Yes, that's right. His name is Onset. Mark, how are you feeling today, buddy? You had to be getting emotional there at the start of things. I was like, well, who's on set Rain Day? I need to cheer him up again, but it's all good. I mean...
00:04:23 It's going to be a great show. I think you teed it up perfectly, right? We've done split one playoffs. We've done the split two playoffs. We've done both splits of the Pro League. And now all eyes head towards the ALGS Championship. The biggest event of the year for every single player, talent, fan who's around, who wants to be a part of it. So this is what we've got to do today, right? We're going to find out who the players are going to be and the teams who are going to be, who are going to be going to that ALGS Championship. We've got a couple of spots to fill for both EMEA and North America. So I don't know. I kind of like it's got the juices flowing, you know, I'm ready to go.
00:04:52 Goosebumps are correct. I feel a little chills because as we introduce our man by Mark, whose name is Dan, it happens to rhyme. I didn't try to do it like that. I want to just set the table, Dan. This is the last chance. This is that moment that teams have been working all year for and they finally have a chance to see whether they do it or they don't. Yeah, only two spots available today in EMEA, which is so rough. When you look at the amount of teams, the amount of good teams they're going to be competing today, which is one last shot to beat at the World Championship.
00:05:22 Because that's where everyone wants to be, right? That's what all of this has been building up to. So it's do or die now. You've got to play your very best. When it comes to Apex, we think one thing first. Of course, for us, esports. But for a lot of the people who play the game, community. And there's nothing better than being in person at an Apex Legends LAN. If you missed Split 2, what were you doing? Where were you? But I guess if you did, here's a little sneak peek as to what happened.
00:05:51 Es ist ein schönes Tag hier in der Copper Box Arena in London.
00:07:44 Ja, ich meine, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist,
00:08:12 Dan, I'll start with you as we take a look at...
00:08:35 The 30 teams 30 plus teams here in a graphic who are already qualified to champs is dark zero the biggest story. Could they do it and submit their legacy as the best team in apex? Undoubtedly if they win.
00:08:47 Ich denke, ein WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-WM-W
00:09:17 Everyone has something to play for.
00:09:18 Man, that moment at Split 2 is indicative of the moment at Split 1, which is indicative of when you're live with a community that cares about a game that you love. That's what Apex is, and that's what Championships are. And it was our pleasure on that final day, Sunday, just a week ago, to announce that Championships has its confirmed dates. It is September 6th through 10th in the Resorts World Arena, Birmingham, UK. We are back in England, but we're at a different location for the very first time. And I cannot wait to...
00:09:48 in the moment at this beautiful location with all of you who need to get your tickets now. They are on sale and you will be able to see that information at
00:09:59 play Apex Esports on Twitter very, very easily. And of course on our ALGS website. That's going to be a fun time for anyone who wants to join us. But here's the thing, if you aren't a fan in the building, that's okay. We've got plenty already representing. We'd love to see you there, but I also want to give a shout out to the fans who have made their ways to split one and split two already and show you a little bit of the energy they bring to the stadiums wherever we are.
00:10:25 Let's go Dreamfire! Let's go MT1! Vamos Luminosity! Let's go TSM! Let's go Alliance! Let's go Dreamfire! Let's go Jalen! Let's go Dark Zero! Let's go Dreamfire! Let's go Dark Zero! Let's go E6! Let's go! Let's go E6! Let's go!
00:10:54 Ja!
00:11:01 I don't know why this image came to mind, but you know, the fans have a little bit of a battle royale going on themselves. You know, you run into a Lions fan who's hiding in the corner. Then there's three Vexed fans right there. Then you see a Northeption crew that you got or a Dreamfire crew you got to run the other way from because there's so many of them. MDYY, Dreamfire, they represented a lot at split two playoffs, but it is always super fun to focus on what our community is all about. Let's go though and turn our focus back to the LCQ, which is happening today. It is our last chance qualifier and we've got some updated rule sets.
LCQ-Regelwerk und Team-Übersicht
00:11:31
00:11:31 for those at home. And I want to get Dan's thoughts on this in just a moment. Basically, the LCQ is a matchpoint finals format. So if you're familiar with our final days, that is how it'll go. You've got to get over a 50-point threshold in terms of points earned in the game through kills and placement. And then once you're over that threshold, you've got to win the game. Here's where things are different though. Once that first team wins the game, they take first place and second place is given to the team with the second most amount of points, unless the games end before six games.
00:12:00 games are played. If that's the case and say our first team in four, which TSM could have done at our split two playoffs last week, we would play all the way until the six games and just remove that winning team already and let the other 19 teams compete and get
00:12:16 Dan, das letzte Mal kam ein bisschen Uncertain. Aber ich bin klar, wir spielen sechs Games und wenn wir eine Winner bevorstehen, dann wird unser zweckens Point total auch qualifiziert werden, als wir zwei Teams senden in der ALGS Jahr 3. Dan, der Grund für das ist, natürlich, Integrität und natürlich, dass wir uns die beste, accurate representationen von der besten Qualifizierung ist.
00:12:43 Ja, es ist ein Guaranty, 6-Games, das heißt, jeder kann sich entsprechend planen, wenn man muss, wenn man muss, wenn man muss, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will, wenn man will.
00:12:54 These teams right here mark so many to look at. Big overview of the teams competing in EMEA's LCQ today.
00:13:21 Yeah, I mean, there's so many names. I mean, this is a last chance qualifier. It almost seems like this could be, you know, a finals lobby in EMEA, to be honest with you. There's so many big names. You've got Vexed in there, Disappointed Performance, of course, again, at the split two playoffs, but they have been a powerhouse when it's online, and they have made a little bit of an adjustment. I'll let Dan touch on that a little bit later, but Phoenix Legacy in there as well. You've got Foot Esports. You've got Intra. You've got Aurora. I mean, take your pick. This is going to be a really, really tough lobby, and the fact that we've got just those two spots, remember, just two,
00:13:50 Ja, alle sind kämpfen für den finalen Moment, aber einige Teams haben ein bisschen besser als andere über die letzten paar Tage. In der Fall, wenn Sie uns heute hier sind...
00:14:03 It's important you know that this tournament has gone on over the weekend. So coming into it like our traditional Matchpoint formats, teams who have performed well gain bonus points heading into our finals. So Vex will start with 10 points all the way down to La Cique de France, which will have an extra starting point here as we continue into our matches. What does this mean? It means it'll be easier for them to cross the threshold. It'll be easier, hopefully, for them to win Matchpoint. And it's just a little bit of an earned, I guess, positive after performing so well.
00:14:32 Now, of course, we can talk about the teams up top, we can talk about the teams on the bottom who need it the most, but we have to highlight just a few as we kick this off and let the stories unfold. So I'll start with you, Mark. Starting out today, who is your team to watch?
00:14:46 My team to watch is one that I was watching at Split 2 Playoffs and thinking this might be a team who forces their way into Grand Finals. Just until that last moment, I thought they were going to do it, but they came up short. It's going to be Entropic who I'm talking about because I think if they were to look back on their performance from the Split 2 Playoffs and what they achieved, which is 28th place overall, they wouldn't be too disappointed because they were really in with the shout of being in that Finals Lobby. But by not being in that Finals Lobby, of course, it means they're here today to entertain us. These are the stats from Entropic throughout.
00:15:16 Now, for me, I do have... often...
00:15:41 Und das wird VexGaming. Ich freue mich auf die Leute, die gut sind. Aber natürlich haben sie nicht so gut gemacht. Es war, wiederum, eine Lange-Land-Performanz von ihnen, das gleiche als Split-1, aber dieses Mal, sie sind tot. An Organisation wie Vex und die Spielerinnen, ich war...
00:15:59 Ja, ja. Ja, ja.
00:16:29 der Lobby, aber sie haben in dieser LZQ gewonnen, und ich denke, dass sie wirklich ein Team werden, die und wollen das Champions-Spray sein werden.
00:16:38 Dan, they have fans that will travel with them through thick and thin. So I think Vex will still have some representation, even if they don't make it to championships, to be honest. But I want to talk about teams that are on that side of maybe not making it. Whereas Vex now looking pretty good with 10 points heading into it. It's go next in Aurora, who had disappointing performances, I think for them.
00:16:59 in that split two playoffs. Aurora, a team coming in with so much history and this kind of redemption arc of not being able to make it due to issues outside of qualifying in split one. Split two, it looks all good, but then they cannot get sunset with them and have to go back to their former teammate who they cut.
00:17:16 für Sunset, Maliwan zu joinen in den ersten paar Tagen. Sie beide machen es zu den Loser's Bracket, aber Aurora finden ihre Demise in Loser's Bracket 1, wo Go Next wird finden ein Weg zu den Loser's Bracket 2 und einfach nicht mehr auf den Finals zu machen. Sie haben auch gemacht und gemacht eine Veränderung, mit DC-TZR, einfach nach dem Spiel. Was hältst in store für sie? Wir finden hier.
00:17:42 in today's L. C. Q. Of co plenty of teams to highlight behind the scenes craft these stories to tell at home. One of our talent be with us today because in a place that's way better than where we are and he's mentioning something happening in a team to keep our eye
00:18:05 Hello everyone, it's Dia, jumping in for a quick update on our EMEA LCQ teams from the Challenger Circuit. I'm out here on a vacation in Spain. I'm inside because it's super hot outside, and you know what that means? It means I'm going to be watching the LCQ. So!
00:18:20 For our teams that have made it up here from the Challenger Circuit, Voltage and Blue-Whites. What can we expect from both teams? Well, Voltage came in as a bit of a last-minute team. They got together during the course of this Challenger Circuit. They focused largely on placement. Now, Blue-Whites, on the other hand, are a very interesting team. They started things off really strong in the Challenger Circuit, winning both Challenger Circuit 1 and 2 in order to make it here, and started off in the winner's bracket.
00:18:45 Looking really good as well. Blue-Whites thrive in Chaos. Whether it be at the beginning when everyone's figuring each other out or at the end of the matches where people are really looking for those final points, Blue-Whites control themselves like no other team and we can expect them to be making really excellent plays that capitalize on other teams' rotations. So keep your eyes out because if you're seeing a third party come in, a fourth party come in, the last team to enter should be Blue-Whites. They end...
00:19:14 mit high-placementem, oft getting at least one or two first-place finishes, and a lot of kills. So keep your eyes out for blue-whites and Voltage.
00:19:24 You know, my brother Dia, you know, I got love for you because you and I are both SEAL fans. You know, I love casting with you at playoffs, but man, Pozuela de Alarcón and you're showing us white sheets behind you, man. Can we get some nice Spanish scenery? I mean, can we get something? I'm just kidding. I love you, Dia. It's always cool to see our talent traveling and living their lives as well as being a part of the Apex community. And of course, traveling is something we do in Apex as well. That's right. I'm talking about...
Map-Rotation und Strategie-Überlegungen
00:19:50
00:19:50 The maps, you got it. We travel from one to the other. It's Stormpoint and World's Edge that we'll be playing today. But where do we start? World's Edge. That's right. We will rotate every two games. And that tends to make a difference here because you might see a team like Vex pop off game one, pop off game two. They've got those extra 10 points. Maybe they cross the threshold. It's time to win.
00:20:14 But then we switch to Stormpoint. Can they keep it up? That tends to be the challenge and allows other teams to get back into it, which is why this format is so exciting. All right, that's enough from me. I have had a pleasure introducing all the scenes here, but I want to kick it over to our commentators to kick this off. It is the LCQ, the last chance qualifier, where two teams are going to be making it to our championships in September. Let's start to see who they are. Mark, Dan.
00:20:39 Thank you very much, Evan. And I've got to be honest, Dan, I've got a feeling of trepidation today, you know what I mean? Because it's like, yes, we're going to send two people to champs. That's going to be amazing. But there's going to be 18 teams who, unfortunately, are going to have to watch from the stands. They're not allowed to watch at home buy the tickets. That's what I'm going to say to them and make sure you're there. But for two teams, with the format we have, it's about winning the games or it's about getting those points on the board. And it gives you a little bit of a kind of an interesting dichotomy, right, about how you approach today. Because do you play for Matchpoint?
00:21:07 Or do you try and think about points in that second place? It's kind of that interesting thing, right? And I'm not sure how this lobby is going to play out. It could be a little bit frantic. It could be a little bit messy. Or we could see some heavy zone play with teams looking for placement, looking for wins to try and take home that match point.
00:21:24 It could mean we get even more matches, because you're completely right. When you're on match point, you may not want to play for it and play just to go for zone, because you might not pick up many points if you fail. So instead, people might still be aggressive, still be looking for more points, and we could keep going. Maybe matches 8, 9, 10, who knows at this point. But everyone is dropping onto World's Edge, and Rain Day is quite right. It's very different when we look at these teams and what they're able to do on each map. I'll look at Vex to start with, just because they are the first.
00:21:53 Sie waren viel besser auf Stormpoint als World's Edge. Sie haben Lava Siphon, natürlich, weil sie nicht mehr über TSM in diesen Lobbys haben, also sie haben ein bisschen besserer Zeit.
00:22:04 Ja, ich will jetzt mal sehen, ob es gibt noch einen Contest zu sehen. Es sieht man sich alle haben einen Platz zu spielen. Ein paar Teams sind sehr nahe, mit Frag und Monument zu sehen. Wir werden sehen, ob es gibt noch einen Engagements, besonders mit dem Ring-Console in der Mitte. Aber für Vortex, ich meine, das beste Start possible ist. Du hast eine Zone-Polle, direkt zu dir. Smiles-on-Faces, besonders mit Matchpoint-Format.
00:22:27 And you would usually say that's good for Vexed as well, but Vexed have been playing a little bit more aggressive in these lobbies. They have been pushing for a lot of kills. They do have a ring console at Lava Siphon though, so maybe seeing it, they might play a little bit more slow. Now, these lobbies are going to be very intense because there is not going to be as much practice teams in where are people rotating, where are going to be the zones that maybe they're likely to be fighting and holding. Now, of course, you will know from certain scrims throughout recent weeks, but maybe not against some of these squads. The Challenger Circuit teams, of course, we have.
00:22:56 We have four Challenger Circuit teams that are competing in this lobby today with a chance to do the unthinkable, to get a world championship spot, which would be insane if one of them was able to do so.
00:23:07 Well, good news as well for Aurora. For the first time in what must feel like weeks for them, they've gone to Harvester and been able to loot without having to fight Dark Zero. So for Aurora, they're going to be able to actually get some loot on board and play uncontested. We expect maybe the zone to pull towards launch site, as you can see in our picture-in-picture here. So expect a few endgames potentially pulling towards the PY. We do see a few finishes on those bins just outside that door on the top left of the screen that you can see there. We also see some pulling down to that low ground.
00:23:36 And of course, we might even pull a little bit more towards Siphon. So keep your eyes on where that zone is going to pull. And looking for info, you're looking at where those ring consoles are, Dan. You're looking at Landslide Team. They're going to have that information. You're looking at other teams around Dome. They're going to have that information as well. So Vex landing over at Siphon. They also have a ring console. And that is why they found a spot to play right inside a zone early.
00:23:57 Yeah, and it's where Vex go from here. They're actually heading over towards Dome at the moment, which again, maybe is down to their playstyle a little bit. They're looking to try and pick up some pieces, or perhaps they don't feel like they're well enough looted. Now, I'm only seeing that off the map. I don't know what they've got right now, as Maestro are making their move through Tree. So everyone is moving pretty quickly who are on the southern side. For those who have now seen the ring on the northern side, it's just going to be a slow journey for them. But here's Vex that we were talking about. They've managed to get themselves Crafter. Now, that's the reason why they went over to Dome.
00:24:26 because they wanted to get these armors up a little bit and get the extra juice available. Yeah, I wonder if that was the ploy. Maybe they were looking for the Survey Beacon as well to see where other teams were rotating in from and they were going to play an aggressive first game here. At the moment, good old GDolf. He's going to be in the lobby as well. He's going to be playing Rampart on this squad. And one thing I do like about this pickup, obviously it felt like it was a change that was kind of forced, forced their hand a little bit with Tyler decided that he wanted to leave.
00:24:55 Das ist der Fall, dass du jemanden kannst, ein bisschen, ein bisschen, ein bisschen. Ich fühle mich ein bisschen, was für Vexed Gaming ist auf Metafe, als der IGL. Aber mit G-Dolf auf dem Team ist, er ist nicht bereit, ein bisschen, ein bisschen zu geben. Und manchmal kann das ein guter Ding sein, wenn man vielleicht ein bisschen unter-pressure ist, als an IGL, als Metafe wahrscheinlich ist, aus dem letzten Event.
00:25:15 Ja, und natürlich, wir wissen die Geschichte von Gdolphin. Er war vorher schon Coach von TSM, so es ist nicht so, dass er sich nicht zufrieden hat und nicht so, dass er sich nicht zufrieden hat. Ich denke, es könnte wirklich helfen, und ich denke, dass wir das in den LCQ gesehen haben, so far in Winners Round 1 und Round 2. Oh, dear! Du sprichst von Gdolphin, er hat einfach nur auf den Ruf. Ja, ich meine, es ist gut, wenn du Rampart bist, wenn du still bist.
00:25:37 Aber wenn die Walls in fronten und ein Team schießt ihr von der Seite, dann geht es schnell. Und das wird der Ende der G-Dolfin sein. Vielleicht nicht das erste Spiel erinnert. Für E-Sport ist es die Möglichkeit, diese Advantage haben sie auch. Aber Taylor geht es jetzt. Da ist G-Dolfin re-Knockt und es ist 2v2 jetzt. Ja, 2v2 ist es, das ist sehr winnable für Vex. Und das wird eine große Herausforderung für sie nehmen, denn sie haben das 10-point-Head-Start. Und jetzt haben sie alle in der Mitte. Oh, Foot ist großartig.
00:26:07 Ja, aber das Problem ist, ich glaube, ein 3rd Party hat sich jetzt aufgerufen. So jetzt, ANC Outplayed, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist es, hier ist
00:26:30 So we've got quite a lot of teams that have made their way into the circle right now, but we're starting now with the ring closing all the northern
00:26:59 teams to begin making their journey down as well so you don't want to get caught on a rotate you don't want to force yourself to through many to through many chokes i can't even say those words together through too many chokes is what i wanted to say because otherwise you might just get caught out by some of the teams already waiting there
00:27:13 It's a full week off we've had. You've got to remember how to speak. We've just been sat in silence for a week, everybody, after screaming for four days. So you have to forgive us for remembering how to put words in a sentence. But I'm sure that we'll pick that flow back up. Especially Dan. You're doing a great job. Don't worry about it. Horizon Union. They're making their way downtown, though. And Vortex CGO, they're right in the middle of the launch site at the moment. Just giving you an idea of what the lay of the land is at the moment. As Horizon...
00:27:39 Ja, wenn wir sehen,
00:28:09 3v3-Fighting Team
00:28:26 Ja, sie sind auch in Tropic. Sie sehen, sie benutzen die Utilität. Sie benutzen die GrabLift, die zu versuchen, um sie aufzuhalten. Das ist die Fuse, in der Composition. Ein paar Knuckle Clusters, und das kann wirklich Probleme haben. Nicht nur die Damage Ticks, aber auch die Visual Clutter, wie Sie hier sehen, kann ein Problem sein, wenn die Queue geht, wenn sie aufzuhalten. Aber für Tropic, Sie sehen die Plan hier. Sie haben das Extremes Highground. Und ich denke, das ist ein ziemlich smart...
00:28:55 für V2. Das ist nicht einfach ein Spiel zu gewinnen, so sie entscheiden zu repositionen, um den Rotate zu gewinnen und Entropik zu werden. Ja, ich denke, beide Teams zurückgekehrt aus dem Spiel, weil die 3rd-party war da. Sie hörten die noise, und sie sahen die Tee-Tee, so sie sagen, look, es ist kein Problem, das dann zu beherrschte. Let's instead be ein bisschen patient. Sie sehen, die Killfeed go-next, also getting a knock mit einer Arc-Star. Whether das wird beherrschte, wir haben zu sehen. Aber als das Circle beginnt, ich frage mich, wo es beginnt, wo es beginnt.
00:29:24 But it looked like it could move over towards the area of tree or at least that little corridor between tree and launch site as where a lot of teams are currently holding. So this could be a really good pool for some of the teams that are arriving late. And we see that so often, don't we, where teams will move early, they'll get the zone, they'll get what they think is going to be the placement, and then the zone can absolutely ruin their day.
00:29:45 We watch down to two right now. Cynetic was knocked a few moments ago, but they should be safe with nobody really in the vicinity to try and push them. Go next to the closest team to them just underneath the tracks. But I think it's a really good point. I think it's a really applicable thing to talk about when we're talking about maps as well, right? Stormpoint seems a little bit more obvious as to where that zone is going to continually pull to. But World's Edge does throw us a couple of curveballs from time to time. And it's throwing this lobby a curveball for sure. Because as you say, everybody was banking on a launch site finished by the looks of things. Everyone is stacked up.
00:30:15 Und jetzt, alle versuchen, um die Trunk zu ziehen. Die Trunk könnte sein, die in die Endgame zu halten. Wir haben ein paar Zonen enden in und um.
00:30:24 Ja, sie haben die Öpner bereits, sie sind jetzt auf die Maestro. Sie müssen das schnell machen, weil es andere Teams in der Nähe gibt, und die Dänisch sind auf die Pfeife. Aber die V2 sind sehr aware, und Sie sehen, sie sind nicht zu schwer in der Bühne. Sie wollen das zu finden, das letzte, final kill.
00:30:50 It's always that one player who just skirts away for a few extra seconds. Now you've got to be careful. Is the decision to push and chase this kill down worth it to give up a potential position of someone else coming in? Well, it looks like the call has been made and zero nothing. Well, there's nothing left of it. Maestro Gaming are going to be eliminated. That's going to be us down to 17 squads now in Tropic. Look at the rotate they made, Dan. They are right inside a zone right now. All the way.
00:31:15 from where we saw them a few moments ago over at Thermal, so a really, really smart rotate from there. Yeah, Entropic, Danish and V2 are in some of the power positions, as are Aurora. Now, as for Horizon Union, they're trying to force their way into not even the...
00:31:28 Third circle, it's just the second circle they're going to have to get into at the moment, as there are a couple of teams that had eyes on them. It was Blue-Whites who were holding them from the tracks. Now, of course, Blue-Whites, the team that's arriving from Challenger Circuit, a lot of eyes on them as they performed very well in winners round one and then managed to find themselves with three points coming into round two. For Horizon Union, I mean, this is a squad who I can see being at champs, Mark. These are three players who definitely have what it takes to be a championship team.
00:31:55 Well, this is the team that Dia was highlighting. Blue-Whites, winner of the Challenger Circuit 1 and 2, but struggling in game number 1 here as they find themselves just down to a solo. So, Blue-Whites...
00:32:05 Sie haben einen wirklich schweren Job zu bekommen, oder einen K.P. aus diesem Spiel. Vielleicht Survival zu versuchen, ihre Weg in die Top 10 Position zu erreichen. Aber Horizon Union, sie sind inside der Trucks, sie sind auf der Tracks, und sie sind auf die Tracks, und sie sind ein paar Shots, mit ein bisschen Tracking. Erben ist nicht so, dass er das Trigger ist. Jay Savage, he ist zu haben.
00:32:27 And now Horizon Union will get the information of where that circle is going to be going, and they'll be pretty pleased with it that it isn't going down towards launch site. Instead, it's going to be shifting a little bit closer to where they reside at the moment. But still, they have a long way to go, and they know a lot of teams will have already found some of those spots in that zone. But for now, they'll just be more than happy to...
00:32:45 Ich habe ein bisschen think about where they want to go next. They've got the Crafter to work with as well, just to get any additional loot. Now, if we bring up the map, we can see where the zone is going to be going. It is shifting even further west, like we were expecting, away from launch site and into the corridor between tree and launch. Now, there are two teams who currently hold those spots, Danish and Aurora, who are looking in good stead at the moment for a big placement. As we turn our attention over to Lava Siphon now, and we're going to have...
00:33:12 The most difficult team in the lobby to pronounce, and it's not going to be Pro League Rejects, but they're going to be fighting against, and I'm going to be careful with this one, Tuhu Tontut.
00:33:22 Ich glaube, TT ist safe, ich denke. Ich fühle mich, dass ich jetzt mit dem Kommen bin. Und jetzt werde ich jetzt vollkommen gehen. Hopefully, ich werde nicht mehr machen. Ich sollte nicht sagen, aber ich werde nicht mehr machen. Ich werde nicht mehr machen, weil ich werde nicht mehr machen. Ich werde nicht mehr machen. Ich werde nicht mehr machen. Ich werde nicht mehr machen. Ich werde nicht mehr machen. Ich werde nicht mehr machen. Ich werde nicht mehr machen.
00:33:51 You want to have a go at saying it?
00:34:15 No, I don't. No, he doesn't get to. He doesn't get to because we've moved on already. Horizon, like you mentioned, Horizon Union, they're going to be safe inside of this building and safe inside of Nexus Zone as well. And it does look like it's going to be pulling a little bit towards that truck in the platform we were talking about. And it's actually Danish here in the best position on the map at the moment. But we are going to see a little fight happening right now outside of Lava Siphon. And it is going to be Tohu Tontat taking on Adept Club with La Cite de France in the vicinity as well. You can see a couple of kids.
00:34:44 Aber das ist wie ein Endgame. Das ist auf dem Ende. Es ist isoliert. Jeder Team möchte die Last alive sein, aber...
00:34:53 You don't want to be the one to come in early and give away a third party opportunity in easy KP. Yeah, Adept have lost a couple. You can see Max Trophy's gone down as well in the killfeed. PLR have lost one, but TT's still looking good at the moment. And I love this. Commit together. Make sure you're all in the same area and you don't leave any stragglers who might just be able to pick Doff as U-Aim have been taken out. They've had a good performance so far, but it looks like they're going to go down here in game one.
00:35:15 Well, one difficult thing to do is fight when you're blind. And that's what's happening at the moment. And the zone is the Grim Reaper right now because everybody is being forced forward. And even though it looks like Le Cid de France might be okay here as a two, look at the shots just ringing down on them at the moment. From all of the teams inside of the zone, Gonex up on height, watching all of this go down. And they've got a pretty comfortable walk-in if they can clear out their left-hand side here when that zone starts to close.
00:35:42 Wow, we lost a few squads and we might lose a couple more as Vortex taking on this engagement. And the Prowler is doing a job at the moment. It does everything, but is it going to do enough? Yes, it will. UTFT eliminated and Vortex will hold on. But I think there might be some sharks in the water. Aurora looking to push up. Yeah, Aurora looking to cut the lines off with that Dark Veil. Looking to make sure they can isolate this 3P. It should be a simple one for them. They're trying to just chase down the horizon. What a win that was, by the way. A lot of work done.
00:36:12 mit der Prowler zu bekommen, aber Aurora kann nicht ganz gut finden, aber eine Sache kann man finden, ist die Lüge. Sie haben das Lüge gehalten, das Lüge zu haben, für so lange in diesem Spiel, zwischen Tree und Launch Sight, aber ich glaube nicht, dass sie viel Utilität haben, viel Lüge zu arbeiten, und natürlich nicht eine Möglichkeit, um die Schuss zu bringen, auf die Spieler und Teams, die sich um sie mit ihnen befinden. Sie können das Idee von den Blue Armors haben, aber bei dem gehaltenen Position und der 3rd-Party, jetzt werden sie sich um die 3rd-Party haben.
00:36:40 Yeah, Voltage saw Aurora walking away from that spot and said, you know what, that looks pretty...
00:36:47 Nifty for us will just slide on him. We'll take it and we'll hold this spot for quite some time. So we're going to have to fight very hard to get back in. But you can understand that when sometimes you need that utility, you need a little bit of extra firepower. But at least they are going to be within the circle so they don't have to worry too much. But certainly they're going to have a lot to do to get into the next one. Now, as this zone closes on set, we have six teams who are outside of this circle. So get ready for the kill feed to be lit up once more.
00:37:12 Yeah, it's going to be very interesting. A lot of those teams on the north as we see Aurora now trying to hold out Phoenix Legacy and Pro League Rejects at the moment. Phoenix Legacy might have an opportunity to pinch. Pro League Rejects, that was the solo player alive that Aurora originally were trying to chase down. Horizon Union, though, they're going to hit a little bit of a redeploy here.
00:37:33 Oh mein Gott, look at the killfeed!
00:38:02 Und D is 2nd pick. Not Blue-Whites today, but it's going to be Voltage. They are bang center of zone still on that platform around those silos.
00:38:28 NC outplayed, haben sie zu hoffen auf die Zone an der Moment, aber sie haben die Potenzial, die Katalys zu nutzen, um die Dark Veil zu cuten, um die Zone zu retten. Aber bevor sie so machen, sie müssen sie ein bisschen dämt, um ein paar Lanes zu öffnen, weil sie zu isolieren, in der Moment ist so schwierig für sie, die Position sie sind.
00:38:49 Ja, sie hatten zu pushen, Fenix Legacy, sie hatten zu versuchen.
00:39:14 Und sie sind! Oh mein Gott, das war ein Tor! Und das wird...
00:39:19 Oh, ich liebe das, dass du jetzt rauskriegst und ein bisschen mehr Platz hast, aber du bist auf der Backside und bist du bei vielen anderen Spieler. Kannst du in den Top 5 sein? Du hast ein paar Kills, du hast ein paar Kills, du hast ein paar Placemen. Kannst du ein paar Kills, jetzt ein paar Placemen zu finden? Kannst du ein paar Kills haben? Kannst du ein paar Kills haben? Kannst du ein paar Kills haben? Kannst du ein paar Kills haben? Kannst du ein paar Kills haben? Kannst du ein paar Kills haben?
00:39:49 Sie sehen, Outplayed, also Eliminated, als jetzt der Circle wird in den nächsten 20 Sekunden verlassen, und all diese Teams von den Norden müssen auf den gleichen Zeit aufsetzen. Oh mein Gott, Sie sind in jeder Sekunde, und Sie können sehen, dass Sie ein paar Placement Points haben, als auch andere Teams haben, und FeelingsLegacy wird mit einem Solo-Player Alive leben. V2 still.
00:40:10 And one of the difficult situations for Voltage, who did have Center Zone, look at how little cover there is. Even though they were Central Zone, it looked good from the map. No cover to work with. They got pressured by several teams from every angle, and they've lost members because of it. And now, V2 in one of the most commanding positions. Alongside Entropic, they are our...
00:40:39 Healthiest squads who are left in this final circle as eventually Phoenix Legacy will go down. Now, V2 have this headlitz to work with as well. They've got a great spot right now, but it's definitely Entropic who are their biggest concern. Voltage eliminated as well as we find ourselves down to three. It's a 3v3, v2 between V2, Entropic and Danish. Danish using that Dark Veil as well.
00:41:03 Just to try and buy themselves a little bit of time you can see in tropic they know exactly where they are they're just waiting for them to pop up and whack-a-mole is gonna be what they are playing the olds are gonna go down the black hole followed by the arc star the wombo combo but does it hit it does but not enough
00:41:18 Und jetzt hat sich Ako zu denken, um zu bleiben, statt zu finden, um K.P. Und jetzt, Entropik startet auf 7.0, nach 4.0 in den Winner's Bracket in 2.0, so sie bereits haben eine gute Leid, wenn es um die Threshold zu bringen. Ein Victory hier würde ihnen wunderschön, um eben noch 50.0 zu den 50.0, als jetzt, speaking des Edgings, die Circles starten zu close in, um diese Teams zusammenzubringen. Jetzt, Dänisch kann eine große Rolle auf dieses Final Circle machen, und ich denke, das ist warum wir V2 sehen, um sie von den Factor zu eliminieren.
00:41:47 Wenn wir sie einfach in den E.Q. haben, dann können wir die Arbeit erstellen. Aber das ist so schwer, wenn du ein 2-Jer bist, zu entscheiden, wer du versuchen und zu pushen.
00:42:03 Jollou ist das, was er kann mit Joll. Und jetzt ist die Entscheidung von V2 gemacht. Sie wollen versuchen, sie versuchen, die Hände zu versuchen. Und das ist genau das, was sie machen. Zidane wird das erste Knochen. Da ist die Knuckle Cluster. Da ist die Spray, von Jollou. Er hat sich versucht, zwei Quatschen zu machen. Und es wird V2, die die Zonen von den letzten fünf Teams verletzten, die in der ersten Woche verletzten. Und viele verschiedene Dinge, die V2 gemacht haben, nicht nur in der finalen Circle, aber auch in der Vorstellung.
V2 gewinnt das erste Spiel
00:42:33
00:42:33 Was war das? Was war das?
00:42:57 Yeah, Fuse, very, very influential in that final game as we are. We welcome back Rain Day after game number one is done and dusted. And I've got to say, it's good to see the motherlode having a big effect in those final moments.
00:43:08 Yeah, I mean, finally we're seeing what he's been carrying this entire time. You know, you say someone's got a mother load and you just want to see what is in it. Well, now we finally see a few knuckle clusters and a win for V2. Congratulations on them, Mark. Go ahead, obviously, and Dan, take a little bit of a break. I want to bring on another special guest who will be joining us today. It is none other than, should I say, I mean, red hair tends to give it away. I don't have an easier pronunciation way to do it, but Vicky, welcome back. I know you're not on too much.
00:43:38 But it's great to have you here and you'll be with us all day long. I can't wait. First off, when it comes to Apex, I'm always awake for that, especially when we have games like that to start off the day. Are you kidding me? The Fusey coming out. I knew immediately seeing V2's position, which by the way, that rotation from Skyhook, very nice to see how quickly they were able to get to the south side of the map. But the Fuse in the late game at that point, holding the space that they didn't, Chef's kiss to see V2 take that game confidently.
00:44:05 Well, I've always been a fan of V2. And by the way, let's intro this segment as a PlayStation Tournaments analysis. Thank you so much for PlayStation Tournaments and their support here in the ALGS. So excited to get into some analysis with you, Vicky. I agree. You know, V2...
00:44:21 Fuse, these are two teams that like there's particular points of interest for me. I want to go more on the fuse right now though and bring it back to V2 in a second when we watch the final circle. What's the fuse bringing to this lobby? Because we see teams go with a fuse here and there, but it's not caught on the way that we've even seen Rampart this season used much more than a fuse has. What's up with fuse and can he be utilized more?
00:44:44 I feel like the Fuse pick is also a comfort pick there too. It controls so much. It's a lot of CC and you have to think about the impact it has if we happen to have just more Watson making appearance. If there's no Gen, imagine what those cluster grenades could do when you're tied up just basically in a corner. The Fuse is also great in these late games. World's Edge, you could see a lot more Fuse too because sometimes these final circles end up being inside of these buildings where you want to capitalize since we're not really playing so much bunker down competition.
00:45:14 minus the catalyst coming into play, the rampart that we're also seeing. So I feel like, especially when it comes to the late game, once you see that Fuse out on the table, best believe that V2 is going to take advantage of something like that. All right, let's take a look at the final circle too and how they did it with that Fuse, Vicky. Because I agree with you, Fuse brings a lot to the table.
00:45:32 von einem Harass-Perspektiven. Also, die Motherlode. Marc hat es gesagt. Du hast Vision inside of es. So ein Catalyst-Meta, wo du Block-Vision hast. Fuse adds Vision zu deinem Squad in diesem Fall. Aber ich möchte auf Zidane focussen. Ich denke, dass dieser Spieler, fünf Kills, vier Assists, bevor sie eine Chance hatten, für unsere Play-Offs, wenn wir in den letzten Wochen der Pro-League spielen.
00:45:55 Dieser Spieler hat mir gefühlt, Vicky. Zidane ist nur ein Menace, wenn es um die Kälte zu bekommen und um die Bedürfnisse zu sein.
00:46:03 You can see Joke also with the Nemesis at 1.2. They were living off the sticks with the energy ammo that they were working with. Even being able to shoot through that cat wall, catching the gravity lift off the horizon. You talked about the mother load too. Able to get the knock originally off that mother load. Also controlling that space. It's not just the knuckle cluster, but it is with that ult when you're forced to rotate in. Also having the high ground. V2 knew that they had this in the back here. This is nuts right there. Can a knuckle cluster get more value? I mean, that was like one ability got like 150.
00:46:33 We talked about Aurora, Vex coming in with 10 to 9 points. I'm pretty sure that it's going to end up being V2 who are at least close to 2nd, 3rd, possibly overtaking depending on how well Vex did as well as we look forward bringing up our standings after 1. Vicky, when it comes to this marathon of a contest as well, you know, when you have a squad like Fuse being represented, which is maybe more of a win more character.
00:47:02 Does it start to get into your head that if things don't continue at this pace, do you switch off it? Do you try to change things up or is this such a comfort pick like you had mentioned? Do you just stick with this even across maps?
00:47:14 Well, I've talked to some teams before about why they bring out unorthodox compositions. Is Watson actually, back in the day, one of the players that I've actually mentioned this to? And some of these players, they like to settle for what they feel more comfortable with, even if it isn't exactly meta. We have two fuses in this lobby. We have a Pathfinder in this lobby. So it's really important to highlight that. If the usual comp that is meta right now is not working for your team, what Apex Legends provides is to work into your comfort here.
00:47:43 Fuse does provide that strength. Every Legend has their strength at different portions of the game. Valkyrie at the late game, what can that Skyward Dive do for you at that late game? Sure, the Mistle Swarm is great when somebody is low already, but you have to think about the process throughout each stage of the game and what each Legend could bring to you. Fuse at the end, like Caustic 2 with the Nox Grenade, these Legends provide so much CC. Once the Slower Circle is literally the size of a Skittle, you're going to capitalize amazingly like you saw right there with the Nades.
00:48:11 Hey, don't make me hungry, Vicky. All right, I haven't eaten breakfast yet. All right, stop telling me about snacks. Let's go, though, into the match results because that is something that I am going to snack on right now. I know the rest of you, ooh, V2 is going to be eaten, that's for sure. 25 points, Vicky, off 13 kills. They are off to a blazing start. Entropic right behind them with 14 in second place.
00:48:32 Insane, you talked about Zidane. Well, he made up seven of those kills in total. So not only did they get that first place win with those 12 points, those 13 KP to match that. In general, though, look at Le Cite de France being able to finish off with 5 KP. Phoenix Legacy, they're the type of team that plays very bunker down, was able to tune into Sabstream yesterday, was able to see how they were playing into their own racket run, being able to secure 4 KP at the very end when that final circle was closing in before they got third party. Even ANC outplayed here too with 5 KP.
00:49:02 First off, in this first page, we do see a good amount of teams here in this top 10 being able to secure the KP necessary. This is probably who I expected. I think Horizon Union, too, that story I always follow because I've been friends with Phoenix for a while. And just that 10th, 11th place is what has been his Kryptonite. Just getting out of that 10th place position. Can they climb to first? Keep an eye on that. Blue Whites as well. Dia mentioned they're in 11th right there. Another team as you stroll all the way down to it, coming in with 10 points.
00:49:31 Now with zero placement points and just one kill sits vexed in 20th position. They will not like that because they were 40th in our previous playoffs. It's not fun to have that type of an experience. We're going to take a quick break and get ready because more action comes up. Game two on your way here in your LCQ. We'll see you in just a second. Monster Energy, the official energy drink of the Apex Legends Global Series.
00:51:43 WD Black, the official storage partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.
00:51:53 Hello, welcome back everyone. While we let Mark take a bit of a break, I'm going to be joining Dan here to take you guys through our second game here on World's Edge. You guys got to call out all the action already early on, V2, with their transition all the way up north from Skyhook, all the way down south to our southern circle. Are we going to have a mix-up of circles though, Dan? I know Mark had jinxed it back at LAN, but I want to see some change up here looking at the matches that we had earlier this weekend, now going into the finals day today.
V2's Spielweise und Teamstrategien im ALGS
00:52:22
00:52:22 Yeah, I mean, maybe at this point you start rotating south before you've even seen the circle with how it's been some of the times. But you're right, it is Onset's fault. He always curses everything. So maybe we'll have some northern zones now he is gone. But I like that you pointed out V2's rotation. I mean, we saw them having that fight at Thermal. They didn't get too aggressive because they were worried about the third party and they get a brilliant position because of it. And I think it's a great demonstration of teams knowing when to hold them, knowing when to fold them, when to get involved in those fights and when not to be pushing too aggressively. Otherwise, you might find yourself getting third party. So V2 with...
00:52:52 We're starting to get a little bit closer, but now we'll start to see whether teams can be consistent. Will V2 do it again, or will they fall short? Because we of course saw Vexed start with 10 points, but they were the first team to get eliminated, so they weren't able to maybe take advantage of that 10-point lead.
00:53:12 Yeah, that's the advantage out here too without even having those starting points for V2. So already starting off strong for our teams here in that first game alone. We have to have another double-digit KP game though too going into this game too because that's when all the hype starts and puts a lot of pressure on some of these teams once some of these teams also start reaching towards that 50-point match point.
00:53:34 Vielen Dank.
00:54:03 Edgeplay has been getting punished a lot more frequently than earlier on in the first split.
00:54:08 Yeah, I think there's a lot of teams who have struggled. I mean, even at Split 2 playoffs, we saw it as well with those teams who'd like to stay in that zone for quite some time and then make their way in and hope to find a spot. There's just not spots available for a lot of these squads. Everyone has realized in this current meta that playing early zone is so important to try and get a victory on the board or even pick up some big points, even if it's not a win. But then it's also about timing those fights, keeping your ear to the ground, getting involved in third partying when you can. You saw how V2 did it in the previous game.
00:54:38 Yes, they had a good spot, but as soon as they heard some commotion on the southeast side, they said, look, we can't allow that team to pick up the pieces and get back on their feet. We need to be making sure we engage so that they can be taken down as well. They forced the Valkyrie ultimate, they then owned the southern side, and then the rest was history. So for a lot of these squads, if you are getting involved in a fight, you need to be expecting the third party to happen because everyone is on their toes at the moment. Everyone knows how important it is to quickly engage if you do hear a gunfight nearby.
00:55:07 Absolutely, and thank you guys once again for tuning in. We're just waiting to get inside of that second game. I'm excited here, but I want to just highlight these certain rotations and the way that some of these teams approach circles here. Some teams have the blessing of the ring console, and lately we actually have been able to find the ring console spawn rates here. And when you talk about some of these rotations, sometimes if you aren't blessed with that 59% of ring console rate in Skyhook West or you're being contested by another team there, some of these rotations, like Lava Fish,
00:55:36 You have Thermal Station. They have a much higher percentage rate for these ring consoles. And so in the middle of these rotations, once you do have that available to you, you're going to be able to know which of these teams land on that POI may take their time to rotate in or if they're a fast rotating squad that is already on their way to that next circle within less than a minute of rotating through that first circle. So it's really important to also kind of time that or else you will inevitably meet another team in these certain chokes once you're rotating either to the south side that we see.
00:56:06 more commonly versus the north side of world's edge yeah and these lobbies have been evolving and been changing across the week as well as we've been getting through the lcq or the weekend should i say
00:56:15 There are teams who have maybe performed really well in Winners Bracket Round 1, but then Winners Bracket Round 2, when more squads get added that they haven't played against yet, suddenly their rotation isn't as simple. Suddenly there's a team dropping next to them that is maybe going to have a quicker rotation or a composition that is slightly better at rotating a little bit quicker and getting in the way. So there's all these things that everyone has to think about when you get to a final lobby, and usually Match 1 and 2, that's when everyone's kind of sizing each other up, and okay, it's going to be like this, we're going to be rotating this way, but then we change map on Map 3.
Anpassungsfähigkeit und Kartenwechsel in der ALGS
00:56:44
00:56:44 They have to think all of that again once they reach match number five. But that's why I like the fact that we can go back and forth between World's Edge and Stormpoint. It doesn't get too kind of sticky for some of these squads who are maybe struggling. They get a chance in the match number three to just pick themselves up again on a fresh new map and just reset the mentals a little bit.
00:57:01 Yeah, it's adapting. And that's why we see different compositions sometimes when we do make that swap over to Storm Point, which would be in game number three, by the way, for those of you guys now just tuning in. We are still going on to World's Edge while we get set up here. And it does go into the way that some of these teams and like what Rain Day and I were talking about, whether you want to settle for these comfort picks and stay on that comfort pick, or do you want to make the readjustments going on to Storm Point? Some of these squads feel much more at home on World's Edge, being the fact that World's Edge has been played on longer for some of these teams versus Storm Point.
00:57:31 And the strengths that Stormpoint provides, especially with the low to high ground disparity of these POIs, thinking about Lightning Rod and the rotation approaches that you could have by putting down an evac tower in that command center area, is always nice to see because then that also allows you to have much more creative rotations. Even if you don't have a Valkyrie on the team, that's been the inclusion of these evac towers and what they provide for some of these squads. Yeah, I think Stormpoint is better for some of the edge teams as well. I mean, Vexed have been far better on Stormpoint than World's Edge. I think three of their four.
00:58:00 so far in this lcq have been from storm point but they need to knuckle down on world's edge they really struggled in map number one maybe no fault of their own maybe they were just caught kind of with the pants down a little bit they were hanging out in dome they were crafting and unfortunately g dolphin was one two three by another squad that arrived and maybe that'll be a lesson learned for them just to keep their eyes a little bit more peeled but they might look at it and say all right well it's just one of those things we move on we go next and perhaps our rotation is a little bit different maybe they don't prioritize craft
00:58:29 Das war's für heute.
00:58:52 Yeah, and talking about Vex's journey, because this is the team that started off with 10 points, being the fact that they had the most points in that previous lobby there, too. Looking at their journey throughout this weekend and G-Dolphin's inclusion into this roster. First off, despite even how that first game's progress went, I really do like the comms that are coming out from Vex. I feel like G-Dolphin adding his thoughts as like a co-IGL here.
00:59:15 Das ist natürlich, dass der Synergy wird, aber auch, was ein Zeitpunkt für D-Dolphin zu sein, wenn D-Dolphin ist, dass immer das erste Mal für D-Dolphin ist, wenn D-Dolphin ist, dass immer das erste Mal für D-Dolphin ist, wenn D-Dolphin ist, immer das erste Mal für D-Dolphin ist, wenn D-Dolphin ist, das erste Mal für D-Dolphin ist, das erste Mal für D-Dolphin ist, das erste Mal für D-Dolphin ist, wenn D-Dolphin ist, das erste Mal für D-Dolphin ist, wenn D-Dolphin ist, die D-Dolphin ist, die D-Dolphin ist, die D-Dolphin ist, die D-Dolphin ist, die D-Dolphin ist, die D-Dolphin ist, die D-Dolphin ist, die D-Dolphin ist, die D-
00:59:45 Highlighting that has been punished a lot more frequently now. Could that have been what Vex was susceptible for with that rotate to try to prioritize the crafter is what I'm thinking here too. Because then they could try to slow rotate through the south side of where that first circle was moving. Because then you have to really think if this is not working out.
01:00:04 Are they going to continue playing by the edge of the circle? That's basically what they did all weekend. Yeah, and I think the good thing for Vexed and the reason Vexed fans who are feeling Vexed should not worry is that Vexed have the potential for big games. They've already had a 14-kill game and a victory so far in this LCQ weekend. So it is not all doom and gloom that they went out first. Even though that 10-point lead they had now has been overtaken by the likes of V2 who pushed themselves to 25, they are still within a shot of pushing their way up that leaderboard.
01:00:33 Match two is just about locked and loaded then as we were waiting for the players to get ready in the lobby. And it's our last chance on World's Edge before we go over to Stormpoint and we keep switching it up every two. Now, you mentioned it Vicky, circle is going to be everything here. And one thing we don't maybe talk about enough is that drop ship and where it's going from. Can you drop nice and early and get looted up for when that circle appears on your screen and you get that ring console information? Sometimes we see teams being able to start rotating and moving to zone before other teams
01:01:03 Und wie viele Teams haben sogar landet.
01:01:05 We saw quite a different selection of legends in match.
01:01:35 Nummer 1. Wir hatten 14 Seers in der Lobby, die ich glaube, wir erwarten, aber wir hatten einen Pathfinder, Krypto, Ramparts, Lobers, Fuses, Wraiths zu machen. Es gab viel Diversität in der Legend-Selektion. Es gibt viele Compositions, die sich auf die Kopfschmerzen zu machen, wenn man das Rotatieren sagt, welches Team ist das? Okay, jetzt wir wissen, dass sie sich in Krypto spielen. Vielleicht ist das Team das wir wollen, weil das EMP-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Emp-Empel.
01:02:00 Jetzt als wir in Match No. 1 waren, alle sind gut über die Drop-Lokationen, nur wirklich nach Stacks vielleicht könnte, aber alle anderen sind ziemlich freundlich zu einem anderen.
01:02:19 Taking a look at V2 and the performance that they just had for game number one, we could see where the circle is going to be pulling and they heard us. They didn't like the fact that we're going to south too many times here. Dial just trying to find that middle ground and Phoenix Legacy having the information that they do with the ring console fit is available at Landslide. You could see that their names are hovering right over that. It could be a survey beacon too, which will also provide them information where everybody is currently. They could wait on that because you can only scan it once, but they will be able to know where the circle will be pulling if so.
01:02:49 They do have access to the Volt here as we tune into where they're going to be going. It is a Survey Beacon, so there is that information that they have for the squads that do go for the early rotate. Really tough kind of starting location as well for Phoenix Legacy. I've never really liked Landslide as a drop. I think the loot is very heat and miss, and you can see that the whites and blue that they have to work with means that you need to go one of two ways. Rotate very quickly and just get into a prime position and hope to maybe pick up some extra loot on the way.
Strategien und Taktiken im ALGS-Wettbewerb
01:03:17
01:03:17 Get your ear to that ground. Look for those third parties. Try and maybe take advantage of a couple of squads who might be a little bit weak rotating. But with this zone, they certainly can move very quickly over towards Lava Fisher if they want. This is going to be one of their best chances to move very fast indeed. Maestro also had a ring console at staging, so they're making their way up to Lava Fisher already. Aurora, the same for them. No, they had...
01:03:39 Ja, okay, they had a ring console as well from Harvester. So a lot of teams who are in the general area of this western zone are going to be able to take some of these priority positions. It's going to be a little bit more difficult for the likes of Lucille de France, Adept, Pro League, Reject, who are all on that far east side and have to traverse the whole map.
01:03:57 Gonna take a while here as Maestro Gaming already with the quick rotates. This is gonna play into their playstyle for the late game here with the Rampart. They're gonna be able to bunker down with those amp walls. Looking behind them, it's Phoenix Legacy. You mentioned it already. We saw them quickly rotate already outside of Landslide. Set up some Watson fences just outside the perimeter from where the Volt Tunnel is. Dente is already in a lot of trouble. He's rotating from the bottom end and with Phoenix Legacy already taking the high ground here, Maestro playing could split off.
01:04:24 Ja, ich denke, dass jeder einfach nur ein bisschen chillt hier ist und sicher, dass ihr in die Position gehalten habt. Aber als ich gesagt habe, Maestro hat nur noch einmal verloren. Also, das ist, das ist ein schwer für sie zu versuchen, dass sie wieder auf ihren Feen, weil Phoenix Legacy haben sehr gut gemacht, als du gesagt hast.
01:04:42 Wir reden über das Nemesis. Das Weapon ist so gut. Wir sind so gut. Die Cousin der Prowler. Wir sind in der Burst Meta. Wir haben ihn. Wir haben ihn. Wir haben ihn. Wir haben ihn in der Mitte der Rotate. Das ist ein Mann, der ich mich auf das ganze Zeit habe. Es ist immer ein Freude zu sehen, die Maxstrafe, die hier in der Tournament spielen.
01:05:10 He's been fragging out all weekend long alongside Sonya. Seeing that there is a team already on the other side here. Gotta be careful. That's the Fusey that we're mentioning here before. We did see two Fuses in the lobby in the last game.
01:05:24 I think it was Natski who tweeted out saying these are one of the darkhorses. This is one of his picks to qualify for the championships. And I don't blame him. It's a fantastic roster who have done very well to get to where they are today. But can you do it under crunch time? Can you be that squad to actually get on to match point first to give you the best opportunity to be able to be a victor? Otherwise, you need to be looking for points. It was something that Onset and I were discussing. It's a slightly different dynamic when there's only one other spot available and it is via points.
01:05:53 We might see some squads not play your traditional Matchpoint style when they get onto Matchpoint and instead look for bigger point games and not necessarily go for just that victory. So it will be very interesting when we do see a couple of teams cross over that threshold. Getting to that KP area where you just see so many of these teams hold forward.
01:06:14 Always very excited to see when the adjustment of playstyle comes through, especially when it comes to matchpoint, because that's where it forces teams to play out of their usual playstyles. We take a look at the fight happening over to the south outside of the circle by Tree. It could have been a fight for the beacon over by Tree 2.
01:06:29 Vortex versus Entropic. Well, that's high ground here, but where are they going to be rotating? Do they want to rotate north of Tree? It does look like that is the direction that they're going to be going in. If they do take this rotational approach, some of the squads that have taken their time to rotate from the south side of the map, thinking about Foot, outplayed, they'll be by Harvester here. So with this rotation, if they're quick to avoid the choke point north of Thermal Station, where Vortex currently will be rotating, they won't get pinched. Most teams have moved very quickly.
01:06:58 Vicky, it's about five squads who are only outside of this circle, Vortex being one of them that we're on board with, and they're just going to take their route through Thermal. It's an interesting route going up through the choke because sometimes you can be held out by a team either on Mirage Atua or near Mirage Atua, so Vortex will maybe just be hoping that doesn't happen, but of course they have the bang smoke if they want to just get down and cover some of that visibility so that they can keep on moving. Now we saw Vortex with a really good push and some incredible kills in the previous game, but when third parties happen, unfortunately...
01:07:28 They were wiped out as so many teams were previously. It was carnage in match number one as teams were all rotating late and being forced into one another with a zone. And maybe that's why we're seeing so much more early rotates here in match number two.
01:07:41 Taking some notes and going back to what you were saying before too. Just being able to secure a high KP game already to start off the day where really you have nothing to risk. Playing off of just trying to get those 50 points is your goal here and trying to deny that from other teams. So many squads as you can see in that side by side looking at the map. The team that has rotated by Mirage Atouan. It's going to be Vortex. Just about to meet up with UTFT by the way on the outside playing off that low ground. That's going to be...
01:08:10 Interesting to see how that plays out. Well, Foot now finally make their rotation on top of Harvester. Outplayed is still taking their time on Harvester, picking up Bones perhaps as Vex Gaming, another team that likes to play by the edge, like we mentioned before. Also going to be already by Landslide. Taking a look at the overhead here and where we could be seeing some of these teams going. Do they want to take their time, take the Balloon here? Perhaps if they want to go through the tunnel, it looks like no. We're just going to be playing Goat Mountain Climbing.
01:08:36 Es ist ein tolles Spiel. Ich mag es auch spielen. Es tut mir auf einen schönen Sonntag. Aber Countdown und Lava Fissure ist jetzt wo wir gehen. Und die meisten von den Primärischen Positionen haben sich gehalten. Es gibt ein paar Gapen, aber sie sind keine Fun Gapen. Sie sind schwerer Positionen. Wir werden auch ein bisschen mit Mirage-Atois machen. V.C. haben sich gegen UTF-T.
01:09:02 We saw this play out already before with the rotation from UTFT from the low ground. No squads have fallen just yet with the patient play that we've been seeing thus far. This may be the first time here. Already bunkering down though in advantage with the Watson fences. Getting poked out already for Sand. They already called off the fight. They do not like their position playing off this ledge and they're going to be able to get inside. Yeah, just really didn't want to take it with Vortex, however.
01:09:26 It looks like they want to get involved, they want to take this fight, and Vortex, we've already seen, are an impressive 3v3 fighting team, and when you see a squad run away, sometimes you've got to take advantage of that because you think they're scared. Here we go. Let's get involved with this fight. U2FT, though, already dropping down, literally won, and they get taken out at the very end. Vortex, they were hungry, they were looking for blood, and they are able to find this squad being the first ones to exit out of the lobby.
01:09:52 Ja, UTFT einfach nur mit ihren Taillen zwischen ihren Legen, um es zu empfehlen, das ein bisschen zu empfehlen. Ich meine, wenn ich in den Matchmaking bin, wenn ich ein Team ausfahre, wenn ich ein Team ausfahre, ich sage, wir müssen es, sie sind nicht zufrieden. Sie wahrscheinlich nicht haben gut Loot, und vielleicht müssen wir vollständig davon ausfüllen. Und Vortex hat nur das gemacht, und jetzt wird sie einfach zu kontrollieren. Jetzt ist noch ein Team in der Nähe. FOOT gehört diese commotion und hat angefangen, aber sie waren nicht schnell genug zu kommen, und Vortex hat auch einen sehr schnellen Kampf gemacht, so das ist gut.
01:10:22 WD-Black
01:10:52 Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja.
01:11:11 Die backen ein bisschen. Können wir die Space aus dem oder nicht? Ja. Wir müssen uns bemerken, denn sie sind hier. Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier! Sie sind hier!
01:11:53 Wir sehen uns über die E-Sports-Fuhr und einfach nur auf die E-Sports-Fuhr-Fuhr-Fuhr.
01:12:22 Just how many teams have made their way to count them from the very beginning. Just important they stayed alive though and they were able to win that engagement and the zone makes it so difficult sometimes and you really have to manage those meds but...
01:12:34 Great for Muchako to make sure that he goes up, uses that grab lift to just get out of any sightlines and get the med kit off. So now Entropic can just loot up for a little bit. They can bide their time. But as you said, arriving from that eastern side, there are going to be a couple of teams that maybe are holding them out. But Entropic, they know how to force their fights when they need to. And sometimes when you do have any sort of inkling that a team maybe is bunkering down, if you can get a grenade in there, get a little bit of damage, then you might be able to just initiate a fight and grab that position off them. So Entropic will be all right.
01:13:03 Aber es wird auch die Fälle für die Primärer Errors zu sprechen. Lava Fischer, viele Quads haben hier erstellt, und die Late-Arrivers wollen diese Position auf dem. Es wird Aurora vs. Foot hier, auch. Kleve, forgett die Digi, er ist nicht mehr hier mit der Prowler, als Ranches wird gelesen.
01:13:23 Now, Aurora, playing off the disadvantage you mentioned, just bunkering down here. While playing with the Catalyst, you can definitely take advantage of this. Lifen also being on the cat, having to be careful of who's going to come in behind him, because the third party has gotten a whiff of this fight, and they want to be included. Yeah, you mentioned it earlier. Outplayed, they've been in the area for quite some time, just listening, waiting, biding their time for their moment, and it seems like the moment is now, as they get involved in two members of Foot will be taken down because of it. That's great news for Aurora, who are struggling a little bit in the fight, but now they get a second chance, a little bit of a breather.
01:13:52 weil der 3rd party ist.
01:14:18 Ich habe jetzt noch ein bisschen mehr Druck. Es wird in der Mitte der Thermite getötet. Aber so viele Teams in dieser Region sind noch in der Linus Sight, die Vex Gaming sind noch in Landslide, mit der Slow Rotate.
01:14:47 Ich denke, sie werden wiederholen, dann werden sie wiederholen und wiederholen die Kastel gesetzt werden.
01:14:56 Very similarly to what they did earlier to Foot in this engagement here. A little taste of that. Still not going to get contested fully. And this is what we were worried about before. Entropic now finally making their entrance inside the east side of Countdown when Pro League Rejects have been inside of that building for so long. Sharing that on the other side is going to be Adept Club here as Entropic just looked for an area that they could hold some safety in. Well, this was the eastern side I was talking about with Entropic as well.
01:15:24 Und vielleicht, wenn die Sennstepproli-Rejects ein Weak-On-Arm'er sind, wenn sie nicht mehr verletzt werden können, sie versuchen zu pushen.
01:15:31 Das war's in Match No. 1, aber sie haben etwas zu spielen.
01:16:00 Und das ist auf der Rotate, von Tree, wenn ich mich richtig verstanden habe. So, so quick at predicting that, als Outplayed, literally playing on the edge of this circle, where can they go here? Just trying to climb over. This ring definitely takes a chunk out of you, taking this fight, immediately forcing their way in, and already getting the trade-off of Aurora. They get taken out, and they finally put the flag down in the building. It took so long, and it was a little bit nervy at times, but Outplayed, take down Aurora.
01:16:28 Sie enden in 16. V2 sind die Winters von Nr. 1. Sie wurden aus den Entropik geholfen, aber es gibt so viele Hobbiten, sie müssen sie unternehmen, als sie bereits einen verloren haben, aber jeder hat einen Augenblick.
01:16:42 So many notes and crannies here too. Entropic now fighting for their life. Leaping one here as Vex Gaming looking to redeem themselves after that first game. With Metafi going down though, it's not a good look. Gee Dolphin had to reload, get saved over on the other side. So many other teams now making their way in. Vex Gaming fighting for their life. Gonix tried to look for an opportunity to get engaged and Pro League Rejects getting engaged in this fight instead. And this is even going to get worse when round four closes as well in the next few seconds as all these squads are going to be forced together again.
01:17:12 Oh Maestro!
01:17:37 ARKSTAR kommt auf. Die Pro-League-Rejects sind in desperate need of Hilfe. Sie werden von der Circle verabschieden. Es ist U-Aim, die sie verabschieden. Die DEP-Klug wird auch mit 11 Schuads entfernt. Es gibt so viele Teams in der Nähe. Das ist warum es so lange dauert, mit so viel Platz zu nehmen. Max-Strafe in viel Probleme hier. Sonja ist in der Banner. Aber wo können sie gehen, wo sie in der Sight-Line sind? Das hat so lange gehalten.
01:18:06 So it's a shame they lost Strafi as well and lost that third. They do have his banner so there's always that chance for a miracle to happen in the late stages of the game. ANC Outplayed also get eliminated in tenth as Vexed have been able to get on their feet and they're looking to try and maybe push on to go next here but Catalyst is inside, Spikes are down so it's not an easy push for them.
01:18:24 Und in einem Moment, sie werden noch immer wieder zurückkehren. Das ist auf der anderen Seite der Mountain, wo Voltage ist. Und Vex, wunderschöne, haben sie eine Entscheidung, wenn sie das Spiel machen wollen. Sie versuchen sie zu agressivieren. Sie sehen, Darkveil hat jetzt schon ein bisschen mehr Aufmerksamkeit für die Team.
01:18:42 I love the position of that Dark Veil from GoNex. It's to block off the Amp Wall 2 that was built up on the other side. But here, Unlucky now, having to look ahead and catching the fact that there is another team across the zone that's gonna be U-Aim playing that out as a duo after they lost out on Matt Drake V before.
01:18:57 8 Sekunden. 8 Sekunden.
01:19:25 Ja, ja.
01:19:54 Let's go, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk. I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking. What is happening in front of us? There's a team there, maybe you can ask me in the forklift. I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it. Watch for the spot. They went up, they went up, we're fine, we're fine. They just ran up. I think they may be free pinged something, I don't know. I'm healing, I'm healing. Just get space if you're full, get space. I'm getting space, I'm getting space. They're just playing roof, they're just playing roof. Okay, just chill, just chill, just chill. My wall is gone, my wall is gone. I have a helmet, I have a helmet, I have a helmet, by the way, it's good.
01:20:22 Just play slow, play slow, get the placements right now. Play slow, get the placements. You guys have, or we got skin? What do you need? We might send us. Heavy ammo, heavy ammo. I can give you. I have zero bets. Okay, okay. I have two bets, I have two bets. I have eight cells only, but it's fine. Give me the unlucky one. I have ult again, I have ult again. Give me one then, we have one each.
01:20:43 Ich habe 0 dann. Ich habe 0 dann. Ich habe 0 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann. Ich habe 1 dann.
01:21:13 We're in the zone and we just...
01:21:42 Hey guys, if you have an 8-4 down here. If you have an 8-4 down here. If you have an 8-4 down here. Team here will be 3 kills in like 10 seconds. Yeah, yeah. They have no cover. Because if they walk up here.
01:21:52 Ja, ja, ja.
01:22:22 Ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde, ich finde
01:22:50 Oh mein Gott!
01:23:19 Es ist die D.V.A.R.E.D.E.D.E.D.E.D.E.D.E.D.E.D.E.D.E.D.E.D.E.D.E.D.E.D.E.D.
01:23:32 Ja, ich liebe es, dass es eine Diskussion war, was die beste Spiel war. Es war ein sehr Risky, als wir in der Listen-In, um die Low-Ground zu versuchen, und die Horizon-Olt, die Black Hole, war...
01:23:54 Everything for them, which in the end pretty much won them the game. But of course, then it was the move on top of that building. And it was a risky one as well. The smoke off to try and stop any sort of sight lines. And then the Sheila out of the sky. I mean, it was everything that we could have imagined. A great time to jump into listening with Vex and just hear, as you say, the passion, the energy. And they know how important that win was with plenty of kills as they get closer to match point.
Vex Gaming's Triumph und strategische Wendungen
01:24:18
01:24:18 It was beautiful. Even the comms coming through when they had go-next right above them. By the way, on the fuse there too to worry about. So that was a tricky situation with the ring closing in right behind their backs. Beautiful performance from Vex to redeem themselves after being the first squad to go down in game number one. I'm going to let you take a break right now, Dan. You can drop for now. You can hang out with Mark for a bit because I'm going to be bringing back Rain Day to break down the end of the action because, wow, there is a lot. We stayed in the comms there, Rain, but I just want to get your thoughts on how you felt after that.
01:24:48 I mean, I'm still processing the Superman play that we saw with the Rampart. But I was cut off from processing the Superman play that we saw with the Horizon Ultimate that allowed G-Dolphin to even survive in the beginning. And I'm just processing Vex.
01:25:09 20th to a blazing first. There's been so many stories here. I just need to watch that final circle and process with you, Vicki, because what did we just see?
01:25:21 We just saw the quick adaptation after being the first one to go down, but also the comms coming in was beautiful. That's why I want to just keep on to this listening. Vex Gaming, to even get here in the first place, you talked about it, right? They used the gravity lift into the Sheila, deleted everybody that was here originally, and then were able to take control over this space and then just continue wiping out the whole lobby behind these amp walls. I love the way we saw this top five play out, too, because everyone's characteristics started.
01:25:50 Wir sehen uns in den Körner, Phoenix Legacy, eine gute Zone-team zu finden, in diesen Final-Circles zu finden. Und Vex, wenn sie in dieser Chaotik-Movement sind, sie finden sich thriving. Es geht zu diesen Momenten in den Final-Circles, Vicky, das immer zu haben, Vex. Aber wenn sie hier sind, kann sie sehen, wie sie sind. Sie sehen, wie sie sind. Sie sehen, wie sie sind. Sie sehen, wie eine unserer Besten-Teams haben wir in EMEA.
01:26:14 And even seeing the portal plate attempt coming out here and then the immediate retaliation into that black hole, the comms were flowing beautifully here too, controlling so much of that space, having the circle advantage, but it's about their rotate that also was incredible to see. Landing in Lava Siphon, playing by the edge, hanging out in Landslide for a while while looking at all the action going down in Lava Fissure, we get to break down the individual performance here from Vexed. Yeah, I don't want to say it if it's...
01:26:43 Not the case, but certainly a bit of a honeymoon phase. I hope that it continues. And this is truly just how this team is going to play. Because if it's so, this might have been the piece that Vex was missing. G-Dolphin coming in, fitting seamlessly with Matafe and Unlucky. And you can hear it in the comms. We'd mention it. How clear and concise, how effective they were all playing together. It truly was. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. All of them together creating something more impactful than anyone individually. As we look at these matches.
01:27:12 I think I know it's going to be number one after this is all said and done, Vicky. It is Vex with a 24-point bomb. Voltage, Maestro right behind them. You aim and then Phoenix Legacy rounding out the top five. Notable, nice game from Horizon Union who jumped from 10th to 6th in two matches, so that's the right kind of progression. But it was really just the Vex story. I mean, that is one of the best Vex performances we've seen in the ALGS in a while.
01:27:39 Yeah, and that's why with the inclusion of G-Dolphin, the Rampart Specialist himself, ever since Rampart came out, it's G-Dolphin that's always been the most vocal that I've seen before about that legend. But on top of the 10 advance points that Vex Gaming started with, that means that they've already set themselves up with 34 points, and that's only with just two games down for them. And that is an incredible feat to even have.
01:28:01 Das war nicht einfach. Es war nicht einfach. Wir sehen, dass wir diese Story, wo es vielleicht V2-2 war, kann man sich ändern.
01:28:19 Just like that in, of course, Apex Legends. Lesique de France, Aurora looking out for them. And Tropic, one of our teams to watch. A decent game, not too bad. Blue-Whites also hanging in there with two. And Pro League Rejects found themselves a part of the dynamic.
01:28:32 Let's take a look after 2, where we stand at the LCQ and remind you of how these rules will work. Currently, Vex Gaming is 35 points in, meaning they are 15 points away from crossing the Match Point threshold. If they get 15 points in this next game or more, they will be on Match Point. That will bring us then to Game 4, where they have a chance to win. Let's say Vex does the crazy thing and they do two games in a row and they do win, Vicky. That still means that we will continue to play this Lobby until at least six games.
01:29:02 So a lot of room for growth for the rest of these teams, especially our back half of the top 20. Yeah, we're not trying to speed run our way through this. We want to see all six games being played to see who our top two teams are going to come out for to participate in Champs. I mean, D-Dolphin said himself in this dream, he wants to be able to attend Champs and that it would be the ultimate dream. So many talented players, though, in this lobby alone. When I saw that there could only be two teams, there's so many good teams. It's going to be crazy to see what the outcome is going to be here.
01:29:31 Yeah, and we hope that this continues to go. I know every team is trying to find, you know, that rev, that eighth gear in their engine, if they can do it. But this is the time. We've got to see it happen. And I'm sure that whether it's stress or whether it's excitement, there's a lot of emotions flying by as we've completed two here of our LCQ. All right, more games to play, more things to go on today. And, of course, a lot more wins and exciting final circles. But before we do that, we're going to take a quick break and show you a little bit of what's going on in the latest collection event in a...
01:30:00 The truth can only remain hidden for so long. The question is not, will you find it? Isn't this? It can't be. But will you allow the such to consume you? I swore I'd never waste my life on a vendetta again.
01:30:32 This is big Maggie, very big. What did you uncover? Thief's intuition. Your data, it's fragmented. This might require free work. Let's see what we have over here.
01:30:58 These walkways, vehicles. I know that look. You want revenge. Not a dragon worth chasing. Trust me.
01:31:36 WD Black, the official Storage Partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.
01:31:45 Welcome back, everybody. The LCQ continues to roll on. Its two games are done and dusted in the history books. Vex returning to form. About time, we have to say, with a very impressive game number two and taking home that win, Dan. But I've got to say, it's very interesting to watch how World's Edge has played out. And just as we start to find any sort of pattern developing, guess what, everyone? It's time to move to Stormpoint. Let's go to Stormpoint, Dan. What are you thinking? Stormpoint, very good for Vex. They found three of their four victories so far in the LCQ. Or, sorry, three of five now, should I say.
01:32:15 On Stormpoint, sie haben auch ein High-Kill-Games. Es könnte sein, dass die Likes von Vexed auf Matchpoint in Match 3 sein können, wenn sie spielen wie sie haben, wie sie in den LCQ haben. Aber natürlich haben wir die Ups gesehen, die Downs gesehen haben. Sie hatten ein Spiel, wo sie vorhin haben, ein Spiel, wo sie vorhin haben, ein Spiel, wo sie vorhin haben. Vielleicht wird sie irgendwo in der Mitte für Match 3 sein können. Aber es ist jetzt eine Chance für viele Teams, die in Stormpoint preferieren, zu starten zu gehen. Are wir sehen, diese Edge-Squads, die gerne zu werden?
01:32:44 Find some big kill games.
01:33:12 für heute.
01:33:26 Ja, so das ist ein schönes Rotation für Vex Gaming. Sie sehen, wie sie 2-1 gespielt haben. Sie sehen, wie sie 2-1 gespielt haben, um ein bisschen von V2 zu können. Und jetzt können sie auf Launchpad beginnen, bevor sie nach vorne gehen, und vielleicht auf die Eastern Seite von Stormcatcher gehen. Oder, of course, wenn sie auch noch weiter gehen, um zu der Northside zu kommen, das könnte sogar besser sein.
01:33:56 As for contests, I think we're pretty good. Everyone in the lobby has been very fair to one another and just making sure that people are going to be getting as much loot as possible. Maybe gentlemen's agreements and ladies agreements all across the board. Yeah, I think it's a case of we can't afford to be contested in an LCQ because this is our last chance to qualify for champs. So contesting is rolling the dice, as we all know, even if you are...
01:34:19 Win it the majority of the times is always going to be that slight RNG factor in doing so. Weapons you find on the floor, whatever happens, you know, all the craziness that goes down and contests. So I think the smartest thing to do for everyone, even if you don't have a designated drop spot, it's just to find somewhere to loot.
01:34:33 We need to move our butts.
01:35:02 especially having that zone information available to us. Because, like I say, with a fairly decent performance here, just 15 points needed, they could be on Matchpoint. It's whether they're a little bit worried about going through that choke on the northern side and maybe thinking that there may already be teams that have beaten them there. So that could be a concern for them, but I completely agree. They should be moving as fast as possible when they only need 15. But this was something we had to discuss earlier. Like, are we going to see teams maybe go for more kills when they get onto Matchpoint? But right now for Vexed, it's about getting...
01:35:31 Jetzt sehen wir zwei Teamen, die gleiche Richtung auf der anderen Seite zu machen, von High Point zu Lightning Rod und dann auf die Eiste Seite des Thunder Watch. Und die Armoury sieht aus, wo TT steht für heute. Ah, du bautet es wieder. Kannst du einen Punkt geben? Ich gebe dir einen Punkt, ja.
01:35:55 Okay, fair enough. I won't tell you when, but it's going to happen. Okay, well the good thing is we've got a guaranteed six points, so you can't flake out on that one. It's a match point with the previous format. But Voltage, they've found some really good positions, I would say, on the first two games within Worlds Edge. They got to the zone very early. They found very good spots to play. The only issue is them holding down those spots. They've been run over a little bit when it has come to those fights, Dan. And you can see the plan is exactly the same again. Find somewhere to play early in zone. But this time they need to be a bit more successful. Let's go next to already scrapping and fighting.
01:36:24 Und haben sie zu halten. Aber UTFT, es heißt es in der Killfeed zu eliminieren.
01:36:30 But I'm pretty sure they just got decimated. Absolutely battered by Gonex with the grenades and the black hole did all the damage. All the meanwhile you saw flying through the skies. Voltage were being tailed and there were several teams all arriving at the same time. But Voltage have got into one of these buildings that they will be very happy with actually when they start to see that circle come in towards them. So 19 squads still remaining. Everyone has started to make their way over to the east side of Stormcatcher. And we've got about nine teams already within these buildings. Those though.
01:36:59 und die beiden, die sind jetzt gleich zu kommen. Die beiden Teams sind Aurora und Vortex, die haben ein wenig gepackt. Er ist nicht nur ein 30-30, aber er hat einen Skullpiercer, so er kann wirklich, wirklich kracken Bones, wenn er braucht, mit ein paar Headshots. Aber es sieht aus, wie es sich ein bisschen wie ein Scrappy-Battle geworden ist. Der Dark Veil war kind of put down. Er war ein bisschen Panik.
01:37:25 Nicht wissen, was was going on, wo players waren okay. Die Vor-Tex, die in der Zentral-Zone der Zentral-Zone der Zentral-Zone ist, werden sie gewinnen. Aurora Eliminatet wird. Und Sie müssen sagen, Dan, sie sehen nicht wie sie sich. Sie wirklich nicht. Es war eine interessante Entscheidung zu sehen, die drops. Ich weiß, es war für sie wegen der Dämpfe von ihnen. Und ich denke, dass sie auf die Garten getrennt wurden. Aber du musst dir sagen, wo es ist. Vor-Tex...
01:37:49 Das Spiel war das Spiel perfekt, um sie zu tun, und als sie herausgefunden haben, dass sie eine Art von der Opposition waren. Und Aurora, die in diesem 2nd place kam, starten mit 9 points, hat nicht gewonnen. Jetzt, die mehr Spiels du haben, die kind of wiffen, und du starten zu fallen, weiter und weiter zu fallen, die Angelegenheit zu werden, die Angelegenheit zu werden, die Angelegenheit zu werden, die Angelegenheit zu werden, die Angelegenheit zu werden, die Angelegenheit zu werden, die Angelegenheit zu werden, die Angelegenheit zu werden, die Angelegenheit zu werden, die Angelegenheit zu werden.
01:38:17 More fights going in and around these buildings that we've been talking at just to the east side of Stormcatcher. Phoenix Legacy now left on the rock with just one. It's Alpha Draft. He's having a spray.
01:38:27 Ja, da sind die Banners. Und jetzt run, run, run, as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm Alpha Draft, man. He should be able to get away with the smokes, but again, there are going to be eyes from a lot
01:38:57 mit verschiedenen Leuten, und uh oh, das ist schon von schlechtem zu schlechtem. Aber es gibt noch einen guten Schatz in den Bildung von Alpha Draft, wenn es ein Team von drei Baiten und Schwitzen gibt es so wenig chance, wenn man nicht nur einen Schatz hat, und es war nicht genug. Aber es ist noch nicht genug, aber es ist noch nicht genug. Aber es ist noch nicht so, dass wir jetzt noch ein Phoenix Legacy haben, so wir nicht wirklich wissen, was könnte passieren. Wenn man ein paar Smokes down kann, kann man sich nicht mehr weggehen, aber es ist über wo du gehst. Es gibt so viele Teams, die in diesem Bereich haben sich in diesem Bereich, dass es da werden viele Augen sehen.
01:39:25 Ja, ich denke, dass Alpha Draft wird sein können, weil das Zon ist. So viele Teams, die gut sind in Zon, nicht wollen, dass das Single-Kill ist. Das ist ein Spieler, der sich für das Single-Kill ist. Es wird G-Dolphin, als Vex findet ihr Weg zur Zonung und hat den Egg zu spielen. Fenix Legacy ist, dass sie gut sein können, dankz zu Alpha Draft. Uh-oh. Just go through it. There ist ein Team auf der anderen Seite. Just go through it. At this point, just go out with a blaze of glory. Ja.
01:39:56 Alpha Draft, I believe in you. Alpha Draft, my belief was misplaced. Phoenix Legacy eliminated! I think it was inevitable, especially when you just... Even when you're trying to escape like that and you're hoping to get the miracle play, very different in matchmaking, but in these lobbies, people are going to be making their rotations, people are going to be in these chokes, and Phoenix Legacy unable to survive. So 17 squads vexed, still in an area that they can work with here, still in an area where they can pick up some kills. They're now 14 points away from matchpoint after getting one kill on the board.
01:40:26 So if they can, you said it yourself, they don't need a big game here, like an average game. If they can get into like the top 10 with some kills, the top five with maybe not even some kills, they're going to be in a good spot to maybe hit match point. And I think they know that. And confidence is going to be flowing through them right now. After a match two like that, you heard the comms. We got the listening. They were vibing.
01:40:46 Well, Foot are trying to hold out Entropic at the moment, and Entropic are going to have to try and make a play to force their way into zone. Black Hole is going to go down, the Grablift has been used as well. Jaka is going to swing on this one, the Devo, the Devo, the Devo. Big, big damage, swaps to the Prowler to finish things off, but the Devo living up to its name, devious by all.
01:41:06 Definitions of the words, Foot Esports are eliminated, and Entropic, thanks to the devotion, just run them over. Yeah, and Entropic, maybe they could be on match point as well as GoNext now starting to get involved in this fight. Need to take down the Watson fences before you push in. Remember, it was Voltage who were holding down this building. They've done so well so far, but maybe they start to fall here as GoNext may able to get two knocks. Yeah, they're going to take the building off them at least. They should get the finished. Voltage completely eliminated.
Strategische Positionierung und Teamdynamik im ALGS-Wettkampf
01:41:31
01:41:31 Und die Geschichte weitergeht. Sie haben fantastische Spots zu spielen. Sie haben wirklich, wirklich gut zu spielen. Aber als erstes sie sind, sie versuchen zu holen die Power Houses in dieser Lobby. Gonext ist das letzte Beispiel für das.
01:41:46 Ich habe gesagt, ich liebe die Position von Sanya Asko und Max Strafi auf der anderen Seite. Das ist wo wir die Endzone finden, tatsächlich an der Split-Two Playoffs, wo wir eine sehr similare Zone zu sehen, was wir haben jetzt. Es geht nur zu der anderen Seite, die Adept finden sich in jetzt, in die Wastelands, hinter der Fence. So, sie sind in eine wirklich, wirklich smart Position, depending auf wo wir enden. Ja, sie sollte sich able zu picken, um die große Punkte hier. Ich denke, wenn man die Fences down hat, kann man set up und be bereit für etwas.
01:42:15 Moit.
01:42:16 We'll have to see whether that will be the same case as we've got 15 squads remaining now. Everyone's got one placement point, which is good for the likes of Vext, who are starting to get closer and closer towards.
01:42:45 Aber es gibt ein paar Teams mit einem großen Spiel, die können hier auch sein werden, so wir haben einen späteren. Ja, Dept in eine sehr, sehr gute Position an der Moment und mit dem Longbow in der Hand ist es wirklich gut zu tun, was die Stimme zu stoppen. Ein Ball von dem Longbow ist es sicherlich zu cross, als ein Bullet von dem Longbow ist es sicherlich zu tun, um die Stimme zu reduzieren, um die Stimme zu reduzieren. Ein Team ist in eine sehr gute Position, es wird meine Boyz auf Tohu Tontat.
01:43:14 Sie werden sie in den Norden, wo diese Zone ist, und Tropic, die wir gesehen haben, gewinnen, in den ersten Momenten zu sehen, für E-Sport. Sie werden sie weg von der SOUTH-SIDE von Stormcatcher. Das ist wirklich, wirklich schwierig für sie zu machen, von der Zonen zu machen. Das ist eine lange, lange, lange weit weg von der Dropspot. Aber sie haben einen K.P., drei bereits in den bagen, und mit 29 Punkte, bereits für sie für sie auch.
01:43:40 And this game could be really important for them. If they can hear the Smart Rotate here, led by the Devo, of course, they could clear a path. By the way, blue-whites are still at checkpoint. I'm just gonna put that out there. I don't know how they're still alive. They might die to the zone eventually, but they are arriving as late as you possibly can in Firebeavers-esque form. And here they go. They've managed to find a Trident at the very least, so they've got a better chance of getting into this circle. But they have been taking their sweet time. I mean, I know as a 2, you've got to, but...
01:44:09 Well, maybe there's a little bit of a bump in the road there. You've got to just make sure someone... It's poor driving! This is a one-star Uber rating! Wait a minute. He said, let me drive! He didn't really. Of course, they were just swapping so that he could pop the medkit. But I like the idea that he was like, that's enough. Let me drive. That's enough from you.
01:44:30 This is perfect from Entropic to make sure they push their advantages when it's presented to them. They were able to get the one kill, but now there's pressure from other teams here, and this is going to be the problem. As soon as there's any sort of sound of gunshots, people are going to
01:44:59 Ja, und es wird V2.
01:45:23 Sie sind in der Nähe und ich bin sehr sicher, dass das eine sehr Weak-Leak-Leak-Leak-Leak-Leak-Leak-Leak-Leak-Leak-Leak-Leak-Leak.
01:45:38 Zidane will be that final player alive, and to be honest, the position he's in is a very, very, very, very, very horrible. I mean, have you seen how far he's got to go? I think I made my point. Very, very, very, very long, but at least he is still alive. Now for V2, I mean, they had that victory. It was looking all good, fine, kushty, but now they are down to just one, and they might see a couple of other teams get to match point as Danish finally made their way into the circle, and it's for VCGO, again, who are going to be on the receiving end of things here.
01:46:08 Danish are doing very well to just take as much space as possible.
01:46:35 Wrapping to the north, Pro League rejects are going to be forced in towards Zone, who are currently set up in Thunder Watch, but there's blue-whites in the area, there's Le Cid de France, there's also ANC outplayed, everyone is gatekeeping this area. It could be perfect timing for Danish if they are able to arrive as some of the damage is done, but it really is going to be a matter of timing. It could go...
01:46:57 ...terribly for them if they arrive a little bit too late, as Entropic have just been able to find the slitherest of zones to work with here, but it's where you go off of this. But for now they are safe, as Danish, who are trying to arrive at the perfect time, do get involved in the fight and are hitting their shots. Yeah, getting some good knocks as well. Need to finish this quickly and get the armor swaps. That's Pro League Rejects, a team who was holding down the build and forced to move by that zone. They are going to be eliminated.
01:47:20 Ja, Dänisch haben wirklich gut gemacht. Und natürlich haben die Gendale gezwungen, dass sie die Schilds wieder zurückkehren können. Und die Fensters, glaube ich, haben sie einfach gezwungen. Und die Fenzers, glaube ich, haben sie einfach gezwungen. Und die Fenzers, glaube ich, haben sie einfach gezwungen. Und die Fenzers, glaube ich, haben sie einfach gezwungen. Und die Fenzers, glaube ich, haben sie einfach gezwungen. Vor-Tex sind in 12 Spots. Wir sind jetzt in unsere Top 10.
01:47:43 Remember that we've seen a couple of teams being able to push up, and one team that is still alive is Vexed Gaming, who are starting to get closer and closer to Match Point. If they can get into that top ten, maybe start to look towards top five, the placement points are gonna do them wonders, and if kills go alongside Azit, maybe they would be on Match Point after match number three, as now we see Vex taking that fight, and it is gonna be against Adept, and I tell you what, it's not going well.
01:48:06 No, it's not going well at all. Good spray for Metafe. The problem is he just doesn't have the bodies around him in the form of teammates to survive here. They tried to assault Adept to have been holding down this spot for so, so long and they quite simply do not have the firepower to win that one. Adept will hold it down, but look at the rotate they have to make now. 25 seconds left. Do they have an evac tower? Do they have something to make it a little bit more comfortable?
01:48:28 Well, at the moment it's looking like a treacherous path, because you can see Uem are up on this high ground just raining down Arc Stars on everyone below them. Oh, was that a stick at the stick? Might have been, will be, and now you're going to be able to get that slow and get that damage, but you can see they are reluctant to push up on it at the moment, because they know other teams are going to be ahead of them, but maybe now they'll get the call to use the Dark Veil to their advantage just to create a little bit of cover here. So the position they hold at the moment, they could pick up quite a few kills with all the teams rotating from the southern side.
01:48:57 Der Ringer wird aufhören Hiyarka. Das ist wirklich schlecht für Entropik.
01:49:03 Put down, I think they used the evac tower to rotate down to the south. The Zone is just closing in behind them. So expect the kill feed to show Entropic pretty soon as well. Go next to gonna be the team who's trying to hold them out. There is Entropic eliminated and now it's just a race up the hill. The red, it just seems to get quicker and quicker and Mizey's gonna find that out for himself. Slab and Bambino trying to survive here as the Zone is just collapsing in on them. And you don't even have to think about, instead of holding out, they have to...
01:49:29 Think about forcing their way in. Look how many kills the ring just got, as it is currently gobbling up the kill feeders. UAM also trying to make their way through. They're struggling. Artico, the last remaining player, as ANC get eliminated, as do UAM. We're down to seven squads. Dark Veil's going down to give as much cover as possible. A depth of loss one as well. But GoNex still doing the job here as a two. You see DeFrance, they're going to be eliminated as well. GoNex trying to hold on. The Prowler wants again doing great, great damage, but...
01:49:55 Da ist der Bangalore ult, wirklich schlafen die Rotate. Bambino wird ein bisschen zu schlafen, er wird seine Vision verhindert. Und jetzt ist ein Wombo-Kombo hinter ihm. Danisch eliminiert in der meantime. Gonext hält auf für Deer Life hier, aber...
01:50:09 Still holding on. Still holding on as three squads are all on this southern side and at the moment they're just being very careful. They don't want to step out because there's just so many guns that are pointed towards them. Gonext still have a chance to do some real damage to this team because the team is very weak and here we go, they're gonna full send it. Black Hole comes down but unfortunately one of them's already fallen and it's gonna be the end for Gonext but not without going down with a fight.
01:50:31 Sie haben viel Kp da. Sie haben die Placement Points gewonnen. Sie haben die Kills-Kategorie gewonnen. Aber Maestro hat mich jetzt in diese Position für die ganze Zeit für dieses Spiel. Wir finden uns jetzt auf unsere Final 3. Es sind die Blü-WITs, Dan. Die Blü-WITs haben in die Top-3 von der horrible Position sie waren. Es wird nur die Top-3 als Maestro machen. Aber, Dan, wer ist die Team? Wer ist das Team? Wer ist das Team? Wer ist das Team?
01:51:01 Ja, boi! Ja, boi! Ja, boi!
Finale Kämpfe und Matchpoint-Erreichung durch Maestro
01:51:20
01:51:20 Sie're all going to be used as well. They do have zone control, so they should be able to find a place to play. Just up on that rock is going to be able to do damage onto Maestro. Akuma going to come and join him as well. The Dark Veil wasn't enough for Maestro to cut the zone in a way that they could rotate. This rock is everything at the moment, and Maestro is struggling to find a way through it. The good news to Maestro, they fully tanked up.
01:51:42 Ja, das ist wie ein Maestro-Win, all of a sudden. Taxi's gonna go down.
01:51:56 0-0, um alles zu verändern. Das ist ein bisschen wunderschön. Es ist ein bisschen wunderschön. Aber Maestro hat eine Konklusiv-Viktorie nach dem Push gekommen. Es war nicht so schön, ich würde sagen. In ein paar Minuten, das Spiel war es ein bisschen sporadisch, ich will ihn, ich will ihn, ich will ihn. Aber Maestro hat den Job gemacht und hat die Punkte auf dem Board gewonnen.
01:52:21 ...to move, excuse me, towards match point.
01:52:50 Ich glaube, es war das letzte Mal, aber das war das letzte Mal, aber das war das alles.
01:53:19 Ich habe eine spezielle...
01:53:41 guest fellas that we're gonn to talk to as well. I want b you to lean in some t get a chance to talk about th playoffs. We had to interv but this team, this individu quite well and they deser So let's bring in one of our Apex favorites Nasky and talk to the kitchen right now. Thank I don't want, you know, fire
01:54:07 Okay, good to have you, man. Listen, I want to start with your performance sixth place in our split two playoffs. Congratulations. How does it feel and what was your takeaway from that event and obviously, you know, a new KCP at that playoffs than the playoffs previous and how well you guys did? Well, we started the tournament pretty rough. I do want to say it was our first tournament as a full roster. We weren't actually with a sub or anything like that, so I was feeling really, really confident.
01:54:36 Und dann, ja, wir starten in Gruppe Stages, wir werden 19th oder so. Dann haben wir den Winner Brackets. So, wir hatten eine ziemlich bad performance. Aber während der ganze Zeit, ich war wirklich, wirklich confident. Ich war wirklich sicher, wir würden gut machen. Miraculously, wir haben es zu den Finals, und wir haben eigentlich gut in den Finals. Ich bin nicht super happy über die Result, aber ich bin complacent mit dem, wie bad of a start wir hatten. Und in Scrims leading up, wir waren nicht so gut.
01:55:01 Aber ich würde sagen, es war gut. Es war wirklich gut. Es war wirklich gut. Es war wirklich gut. Ich bin super confident in meine Team-Mates und so weiter. Ich war wirklich gut.
01:55:13 All right, I'm going to jump in here right now. I've got a question because I've been waiting for this moment to speak to you, Nasky, because real talk, right? In the build-up to the event, I was so worried about you guys. I was like, it doesn't look like ACP can find their feet right now. It seems like everything you're trying didn't seem to be coming off. I don't know. It's just scrims. I get it. It's online. But then you did manage to pull it together. Talk to me about how the mentality for you guys kind of shifted from pre-event going through the bracket as the stages went through and you got closer and closer and then you got to that grand final.
01:55:43 Wir waren in Scrims nach einem langen Break seit ProLeague. Wir haben angefangen zu spielen in Scrims, weil wir unsere alten Sachen waren. Wir waren sehr schlecht. Wir waren nicht schlecht. Wir waren schlecht. Wir mussten arbeiten auf unsere Fundamentals, wenn etwas ist. Dann haben wir angefangen. Wir haben angefangen zu spielen, und wir waren zufrieden, zufrieden und zufrieden und zufrieden. Land kommt, wir haben angefangen zu spielen, und wir sind okay.
01:56:10 Und dann habe ich mit Zayn über das und wir waren, ihr wisst, F es, wir spielen Sohn. Wir gehen zurück zu welchen, es funktioniert für uns. Und dann in der finalen Spiel, in der Lower Loser Bracket, wir waren 12th oder so, wir waren Sohn und wir haben 3rd mit 7 kills, so ein guter Spiel. Und dann in Finals, wir haben gesagt, hey, wir spielen Sohn und das ist dann, dass wir eigentlich aufstehen.
01:56:35 Und ich denke, ich habe nur ein schlechtes Read auf die Meta, wegen der Influenceden von den baden Resultaten und Skrims. Aber die Meta ist jetzt komplett Sown. Sie sehen, dass jeder Team gewinnen ist. TSM war schlecht in den Starten der Pro League, weil sie noch die Edge waren. Und dann haben sie angefangen, und dann haben sie angefangen. Und dann haben sie angefangen, und dann haben sie angefangen. Und dann haben sie angefangen, und dann haben sie angefangen. Es ist einfach eine Sown-Meta. Ich habe das nicht gehört, weil ich bin überzeugt von den baden Resultaten.
01:57:00 Aber ja, wenn wir mit Sonnen die ganze Zeit haben, dann wäre es eine komplett andere Show-in-Gruppe-Stage und so weiter. Nauski, wir sind in der LCQ, richtig? Ich sah dein Tweet mit zwei Teams, die du erwähntest. Wir haben drei Games gesehen. Are du mit dieser Predikation? Ich gebe dir eine Chance für die Predikation zu verändern, wie du in den ersten drei Teams gesehen hast. Wer wird heute? Meine Predikation sind FUT und U-Aim mit meinem Mann, Max Strafe, natürlich.
01:57:29 It's not looking too good for at least FUT right now. I do want to stick on them, though, because Amphi is like, he's one of the best controller players in the world, and Sane thinks he is the best in the world. So I put faith in them because it's like a solid team. You know, Lipin is a strong controller fragger. Taylor, super experienced IGL. So I'm sure they'll pull it back. It's looking rough right now, but if they just find their confidence, they'll come back. And you aim with Max.
01:57:56 Max is one of the best in the world. My previous teammate, I'm sure they're going to do great. I'm going to stick in the... I'm going to double down. I'm going to double down on my predictions. I really want to see those two teams in first and second, though.
01:58:13 I want to get your thoughts on the final circle, but it just stuck to me to talk a little bit about your teammate, Max. Obviously, he was a big part of KCP. He's a big part of your story, Natsky, but he hasn't been able to get there, and you're rooting for him on the sidelines. What's the emotion of just seeing Max having that chance of maybe, in his own way, joining you guys at championships and just the emotion of his partnership and your journey together?
Emotionale Momente und strategische Einblicke von Nasky
01:58:40
01:58:40 Es macht mich stolz zu sehen, Max zurück zu sehen. Obviamente, seine Reine war zu stoppen, wegen der Krieg in der Ukraine. Und, unfortunately, das bedeutet, dass er keine Visen oder permissionen zu gehen, oder so. So, zu sehen, ihn jetzt wieder mit seinen zwei Freunden, Artiko und Nassanya, auch Ukrainien, ist...
01:59:01 It's like a proud dad moment, you know, even though Max is more so like a dad to me. But it's definitely nice to see Max competing again. Proud dad moment for your dad. I love it, Nasky. I appreciate it. And we're definitely excited to see you aim continue to play. Let's go to the final circle we just saw. We want to get your thoughts on it while we have you here in this halftime break. What are you seeing? Walk us through this final circle like we've had Sabs and RKN do on the broadcast. Walk us through what happens here in this final play.
01:59:32 Well, the zone you see here is a very predictable zone. I'd say everyone should be able to predict the zone. It's a very macro-oriented end zone, which just means that it's out of game preparation. Your rotation is the determining factor for this zone. Usually it's the high ground team that sits there the entire game that wins this game. Usually the lightning rod team. So it's a pretty straightforward end zone we see here that just...
01:59:57 Plays out like it's expected to do. It's not like a very chaotic endzone or something like that. And you even see now that it's just a straight 3v3. Maestro had a disadvantage because they have to go uphill and they have to push into the final zone. But yeah, it's a straightforward endzone. I didn't manage to catch it just live just a second ago. What are you catching it now? Yeah, pressure's on. I'm catching it now. Come on, baby. Do our job.
02:00:24 Ja, come on. Ja, ich glaube, es ist so easy. Nicht so easy, true, true, true, true. Mischo crossing Gap und gewinnen ist eigentlich wirklich, wirklich, wirklich beeindruckend. Ich kann nicht sagen, weil es Mizzy und... Ich habe keine Ahnung, aber es gibt zwei Controller-Player, so Controller ist besser als Mouse und Q, für sicher. Wenn sie von Low-Ground zu High-Ground gewinnen, das ist gut.
02:00:54 Well, Natsky, thanks for obviously walking us through that. I know we caught you. We are delayed on our broadcast, so you hadn't caught that final circle. But great to hear your insights on that zone. Talk to me a little bit, though, about these players. Bambino, Mizzy, Oslab, and GoNex. They were there with you guys in split two playoffs in London. They've obviously taken out DCTs at R and had Mizzy come in, and they've had a pretty strong performance so far after a few.
02:01:19 I can't lie, uh, without me seeing Bambino's VODs, I think Bambino might be one of the world's best IGLs, considering how they played really well in LAN. They didn't quite make it to finals, but they were playing from Jurassic and Geyser, the two horse PYs in the game. Uh, and they played really, really well, with two unexperienced fraggers on his side, and, I don't know, insane macro, I guess.
02:01:43 Pretty amazing stuff. Let's go to the match results, too. Hey, we're watching. I mean, I think they are in a pretty good position. Maestro obviously win that game with 18. Go next, though. Look at that. Second place overall in terms of points because of their kills. Oslab pops off for an eight-kill game. Pretty impressive there for them. Tuatunatut and Blue-White's Adept Club. They round out our top five. Danish LCDF, U-Aim, ANC Outplayed, and Entropic.
02:02:11 Wir sind jetzt in den letzten Top 10. Als wir nach der Rückseite gehen, Natsky, eine kurze Frage. Wer muss ein bisschen mehr performieren? Obviamente Foot, du sagst. Wer noch? Obviamente Foot, also Aurora. Es ist ein schweres Ziel für Aurora, weil sie sich Schiff fallen. Die Rotation ist sehr, sehr schwer für sie. Sie müssen sie über sechs Teams gehen. Es ist nicht so schön, dass sie schlecht sehen, aber Aurora ist sicher, wahrscheinlich die beste, am besten in dieser Lobby.
02:02:40 So, yeah, Aurora und FUT, ich bin mir ein Augenblick für den nächsten Spiel. Horizon Union ist auch sehr surprising, weil sie eine wirklich, wirklich gute Pro-League haben. Sie waren schlecht in den letzten zwei Tagen, glaube ich. Aber ein starker Team, sehr stark IGL in Phoenix.
02:02:57 Ja, und ich freue mich sehr, dass du das auch erwähnt. Ich habe Phanix gesagt, dass wir uns in diesem Broadcast haben. Ich weiß, dass unsere Serie-resultaten sind bereit für uns, so wir können das auch bringen. Und es ist Vexed, in der Lead-Maestro mit der Win. Wir gehen gleich hinter ihm.
02:03:12 It's pretty close at the top. V2 right behind. I'm a big fan of Zidane and the way that he has shown up as a fragger. But everyone here clearly having some good moments and not so good moments. Aurora, you mentioned two. I just think this is a massive, massive storyline for them. Can they get to championships after not quite getting fully as a team to split two playoffs after what seemed to be their, I guess, party that they were going to have finally there at LAN? We will wait and see.
02:03:40 Natsky, es ist so toll, dass du mit uns bist. Ich will dir eine Chance für einen Final-Thuss, was du sagen willst, bevor wir uns gehen? Ich will ein Shoutout für mein Boy Noct real quick. Ja, das ist es, das ist es. Also, enjoy this show. Es ist Matchpoint. Ich bin sicher, dass etwas verrückt ist.
02:03:59 All right. Thank you so much, Nasky. We appreciate you letting us cook with you here on this interview halftime portion of our show. Take care. We'll see you next time. Always want to talk to KCP Nasky. You'll see him alongside many other famous faces in our Apex scene at Championships. So make sure to grab your tickets. They're on sale now. Play Apex Esports. You can find all of those details. We're going to go on a quick break when we come back. Game four is here of our Match Point Finals. We're going at least six today. So buckle up. Get ready.

Analyse von Spielstrategien und Teamleistungen im ALGS
02:06:09
02:06:09 Welcome back, everybody. It's time for us to keep this thing rolling as the LCQ starts to pick up energy and things start to kind of settle down a little bit when the scoring Vicky is joining me, by the way. Vicky, this is the first time we've casted in ages, and I was thinking in my head there, I was like, what's like our cool duo name? And then I kind of put the first part of mine and the last part of yours together and came up with Onicky, and that doesn't sound very good, so I'm going to let you work on it. There's two different types of people. There's Onset, and then I'm thinking about Vicky Set, I guess, like, or...
02:06:37 Es ist besser. Wir gehen mit dem einen. Es ist nicht so schlimm. Es ist ein Tung-Twister, wie was Dan gesagt hat. To who, Tung-Tut? Ich weiß nicht. Das Black Hole hat mich gefragt, was das für was das? Ich weiß nicht. Nämlich. Nämlich. Nämlich. Nämlich. Nämlich. Nämlich. Nämlich. Nämlich. Nämlich. Nämlich.
02:07:06 Yeah, it certainly was. A lot of teams had a really rough time rotating from the south side all the way up to where we finished near Lightning Rodder on the little compound just outside of it. But for Maestro, they won that important 3v3, Vicky. And I feel like when you're in a disadvantage in a straight 3v3 and you win it to win the game, the next game, all of a sudden, you are so full of confidence. Not only was their macro pretty good on that one, like Nascu was saying for that zone to call where that zone was going to be going fairly early on.
02:07:32 Execute in those final moments and put yourself within striking distance of Matchpoint. They're going to be all smiles right now, surely.
02:07:38 Absolutely, especially now that that skyrocketed them all the way up until that second place for Maestro Gaming, claiming that with a good amount of KP to their name, right behind Vex, who's still how old that those 38 points, but it's pretty close for these top five teams. Right in the top four, there is a slight gap between GoNex and V2. Now taking a look at the circle and where it's going to be taking us for this game number four, and Tropic are having a field game. They're going to be able to not only take all the loot and down beast, hold the high ground for a little bit, but they will also have the circle advantage.
02:08:08 as well as looking at Phoenix Legacy, who do have that Survey Beacon right there to let them know which teams have already gone for the quick rotate, as well as Horizon Union that lands in Mill. Good zone this for Esports as well. You heard Natsuki talking about them. It's a really good mix of players. You've got experience, you've got good...
02:08:24 Troll of Fraggers as well on that squad. And they not only have a ring console to play with, they're also got good prior to this zone. So keep your eyes on foot eSports for how they rotate towards this zone and how quickly they try and make that decision. They do also have the Trident, which is going to help them maybe get there a little bit quicker if they wanted to, but only eight points so far in three games for them. They were some pretty rough zones for them. You have to say so far today with where they land, but this is one that they need to convert on.
02:08:50 So they haven't been doing too hot here, too, but at least it could take advantage of the crafter being right here. Do you see the pins coming out? Probably just to let them know that there is a team that may be rotating away from Barometer. That could be Danish. They have already made their moves here, perhaps to try to get the ring. Yes, it is. They're already low here. Foot already taking some shots at them, taking some chunks. They wanted the ring and have been denied. Time to rotate around Cenote Caves and maybe try to prioritize the circle on where, you know, it's already going to be going. Maybe even trying to take the ring console and milf.
02:09:20 Ja, sie können auch das, wenn sie das wollen.
02:09:49 Das Team wirklich surprised me, Atlan. Ich wusste, dass das Team was comprised of just different...
02:10:01 High level players, but their performance at land was beautiful. And now seeing how they're going to be doing here, holding onto this high ground, they already see where Danis is going to be flying to. Fricks desperately landing on the other side. This is a good spot once you can slow rotate into that next circle, but this does mean that Danis would be forced to play off the low ground here while we did see the positional advantage that Entropic was already holding. Like you mentioned, a position here that usually in shooters, you definitely want to secure, especially when it comes to sometimes these teams utilizing the gravity lift if they have the horizon.
02:10:30 Ja, das ist sehr, sehr, sehr gut.
02:10:39 Ja, es ist großartig zu haben, aber es ist so viel auf dem Top-Down-Beast, also prioritizing, holding down all of the ziplines und anyone who's going to grab Lift-Up and making sure they can't take that away, does take some really clear and concise communication. So Entropic got the tools to have a good game here, but they're going to have to work extremely well as a unit to keep themselves in that position for the long game. Danish now, they're going to take down one of these buildings, but also they're going to have a little bit of a problem here because the Black Hole has got some pull to it. The Gravity is a problem, however Freak deals well with it.
02:11:08 The distance on that black hole and how it pulls you is from miles away. Horizon Union just backing off for now. Calling out the fight here because they see another team trying to get involved. Already four to five teams in the Down Beast era. You mentioned how much space that high ground provides. And you know that there could be an opportunity where Creeping Barrage could try to grief that squad from the high ground here. We're going to have to see how Horizon Union also play this into their team composition. Running the catalyst, they are going to play much more bunker down. But it does look like they're starving a little.
02:11:37 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal, wenn ihr die Abwechslung auf ihre Weapons auf die G7 schaut.
02:12:06 Auf der Hillen, die Teams werden versuchen, und Vor-Tex sind die Team, die zu versuchen. Und bei nicht zu haben, das kleine Weg zu schauen, das ist nicht ein Smart-Fight zu machen. 20 Squad ist noch hier, Vicky. Das ist ein Weg zu sehen, die Teams wirklich value points. Denn niemand ist in der Early-Fight, niemand ist in der Early-Fight. Und mehr importantly, ich denke, es ist kein Team für Godspot zu machen, wie wir vielleicht gesehen haben.
Strategische Entscheidungen und Teamkämpfe in ALGS Game 4
02:12:30
02:12:30 Yeah, it could be because of the way that this circle is in general. You talked about it earlier, but with so much space being on the high ground of Down Beast and this circle could be pulling towards the fence line of Down Beast, that means End Circle is going to be in a much more open area. Love the fact that we get to see this right now side by side of where the circle is going to be pulling and the positioning of our squads that we're currently watching right now in Mill. You could also expect a lot of the teams that will be playing on the edge of circle much more passively will probably try to take priority over getting that ring beacon over by Mill. So with Aurora being...
02:13:00 mit dem Rotate North und Foot. Sie sehen hier, dass Milch wird mit diesen Edge-Teams geholfen werden. Ja, Foot hat die Zeit mit dem Rotate gemacht. Und zurück zu dem, was ich gesagt habe, in der Start-Ausgabe zu haben. Sie haben ein bisschen Zeit, aber das war eine Chance für sie zu gehen. Das war ein bisschen Zeit für sie zu kommen, aber das war eine Chance für sie in die Zone ein bisschen earlier. Und ich fühle mich, dass sie so far haben, besonders mit dem Ring Consult.
02:13:26 Und die Survey Beacon gibt ihnen alle Informationen, die sie wollen. Jetzt können Sie, auf der right-handen Seite sehen, wie schwierig es wird für sie, um sie in den Zonen zu verabschieden. Vielleicht werden sie die letzte Team hier in den Mil- und die Ring-Console wiederholen, um sie wieder zu sehen, ob sie ein bisschen von einem Schiff auswählen sind, und sie können für das späteren spielen. Aber es sieht aus wie viel traffic zu versuchen, um es zu versuchen, um es zu verabschieden.
02:13:49 Everybody are just sardines stuck inside the can. Everybody is going into down piece. All 20 squads are still alive. This is crazy. Again, not surprising with the way that this circle is going to be pulling, but still half of that circle is a good amount of open area where you really have to rely on the natural terrain to get out of the line of sight for so many of these teams like Foot that have the high ground. It can be scary when you want to go for a rotate outside of Mill. At the moment, we saw earlier that there are no teams.
02:14:18 Ich weiß nicht, dass die Vortext nicht so weit sind. Aber Vortext haben nicht geholfen von diesem Spot. Aber dann, wenn man Vortext schaut, die Vortext zu sehen, werden die Vortext von der anderen Seite von der anderen Seite von der anderen Seite geholfen.
02:14:42 And this is another team trying to force their way in towards Zona early. It's going to be UTFT. However, the shots are raining down from above, from the sides, from wherever they try and look at the moment. They have to retreat to inside of the down beast and into the belly of the beast, so to speak. Not only in game, but with the position they find themselves in. One player will be finished. It's going to be Genji who does go down as we now swap over to La Cie de France. Phoenix Legacy are going to be wiped out of this lobby as they try and force their way in from the...
02:15:11 auf der Norte des Zones. La Cite de France. Eine gute Sache, wie das Wembeck war, ist, wie schnell es ist. Sie sehen, dass es auf der Schiene keine Möglichkeit gibt, für jemanden zu close die Gap. Und jetzt können sie das Donut-Builder und planen die nächsten Schritte.
02:15:25 Was Phoenix Legacy having to exit out of their POI of Checkpoint? We saw how congested that north side is, and it could be very risky coming in from that north side just in case that circle continuously pulls south. Where are you going to go? You're going to be forced to go through that choke point where Maestro is going to be able to approach from eventually from Checkpoint or even that area where Lasita France is currently holding. You see some shots getting taken at them, but also leaving from this area puts you in the line of sight of the squads that do have the position advantage on top of the Down Beast.
02:15:54 Now looking elsewhere. Vex to the only team really outside of zone by any considerable amount at the moment. Pro League rejects. Well, they've lost a player as well inside of Down Beast. And this is what happens when there's nowhere to play. When you arrive late in towards a congested zone like we find ourselves in right now. ANC outplayed. Now looking for the final kill. The final player Pro League rejects. They are ejected out of this lobby. But Shex has gone down. So they have to be careful here. Expand a few resources to make sure that they can get this res in.
02:16:22 The Rez will come in, and they should be safe here, but look at Sanya. Sanya's creeping up here. Vicky's having a little look at things. Oh, on the other side, it was Davis that are also taking a chunk out of them here, too. Aurora, now getting engaged in a fight over here on the other side. This is part of those teams that are going to slowly rotate and play by the edge of the surf. I believe it's Maestro Gaming that are right in front of them, and right behind them by checkpoint is going to be at UpClub, so...
02:16:45 Three squads right now in this area that are going to be exiting out of this checkpoint choke point. And it's Maestro that could gatekeep these squads. Because if you do want to leave to the north side of checkpoint, we already saw the likes of Lasita Fonz holding that spot.
Strategische Rotationen, Kämpfe und Matchpoint-Potenzial in ALGS
02:16:59
02:16:59 Vex now slowly making their way in towards Zone. They should be safe on their rotate, so not too much to worry about for them. Of course, Vex to closing in on Matchpoint and our leaderboards overall as well. You can see at the top of your screen how many points all the teams have at the moment. And we are getting into the position now, Vicky, where one win for any of those teams, I would say in the top five or six, could put them on to Matchpoint and within one game of qualification to the ALGS Championship. And I mean...
02:17:23 Das ist alles, was alle hier ist. Das ist alles, was die ganze Zeit für die Arbeit der Arbeit ist. Das ist das LJS-Championship, als Aurora wollen das Team sein. Sie versuchen ihren Weg auf Maestro zu machen, die in dieser Choke sind.
02:17:35 Oh, Jensei ist still alive hier von Maestro. Just hiding in the crevice.
02:18:04 Ja, es wird es schwierig sein, aber ich weiß nicht, wie er wird es versuchen, denn wenn man in doubt ist, Vicky, wenn man in doubt ist, ich würde sagen, hit the cannon, aber er weiß es besser als ich. Ich dachte, du sagst, rat it out.
02:18:30 Oh no, you just try to grief out here. Grief yourself, Maestro Gaming. Don't want to do that, but this is what I mean. There's a lot of open area in this circle, which is why early rotate could literally spell your doom. He's getting hit from left to right. He tries to run away, but there's nowhere to go. Go next, pick up on that free KP before their eyes served on a silver platter. Hey, when in doubt, hit the counter.
02:18:54 Probably not. However, Entropic still up on top of Down B, still looking very, very comfortable as well. You can see that Hiyaka and Thorfinn up to Purple Evo Shields as well. Execo trying to force his way towards that as well. The only problem is resource, right? When you are early rotating, when you are in...
02:19:12 die Priorität Position 4-Zone. Manchmal muss man sich ein bisschen Loot Zeit auf deinem Loot-Path, um zu machen, um die Priorität Position zu machen. So, keep your eyes auf die Backpacks. Sie sehen sich 6 L's, 2 Bats, Hiyaka zu sehen. Und, um ehrlich zu sein, ist es gut, dass es gut für die Lüte ist.
02:19:40 They look fantastic, especially being a team that holds that final circle position early on in the game without a Loba, which is usually why we see the Loba. Vex Gaming now getting engaged in this fight. You can see the other team looking on while this is happening. That's going to be Aurora now as Vex Gaming take V2. Look at D-Dolphin taking out the Sheila. Black Hole though, it's going to be Trey. Let's see if Potafik can get Unlucky back up.
02:20:02 V2 also trying to get a Reds themselves as they try and force their way in towards Zone Zidane should be able to get that battery off over to the Vex Gaming now who are looking to finish off this fight they managed to get back to a full three the 16 squads still remain they aren't safe for now though Vex Gaming you can see they have to keep moving forward they have to keep putting pressure on and they're gonna have to force their way through a choke which is extremely busy to their north as well Aurora holding it down right now Maestro were in them
02:20:28 A few moments ago, we saw those eliminated. So the gatekeepers are Aurora. They've taken that position away and now they have to deal with Vex. Look at the other squad on the other side of this choke on the other side of V2. It's going to be Vortex who want to prioritize this rotation to make sure that no other team takes the bridge that they've been trying to hold for so long in this rotation. This gives space now for V2 to maybe try to restabilize, approach from the side. Vex Gaming now having to force their way into that next circle in that difficult choke that you had mentioned against Aurora. But Aurora may find themselves sandwiched
02:20:57 hier mit der Early-Rotation, die Adept-Club in Checkpoint haben jetzt die Zeit zu nehmen und jetzt gehen in. O'Roura wird Pinched vielleicht, wenn sie schnell durch diese Choke zwischen Vex-Gaming und Adept-Club haben. O'Roura hat ein sehr guter Job mit dem Resend, und ich denke, Adept-Club hat sich in die Situation geholfen, mit dem Druck auf Vex-D.
02:21:17 Behind?
Intensive Kämpfe, strategische Spielzüge und das Streben nach dem Sieg
02:21:37
02:21:37 Wow, AC had to have known that Aurora was there, they didn't even turn their backs to them. Glowing on the other side of the catwall where they're in the line of sight of Aurora, now Aurora just gonna be able to capitalize. Cleave having a pop-off moment, maybe he could get the shield swap, yes he does at his feet, thanks to AC dropping that for them. Ranch is getting on top of the high ground, he's got the creeping barrage just in case here. Vexed in a lot of trouble, Vex literally against the ring here, working with some limited...
02:22:06 Los cover as well no more rampart barriers here as Vatafe is the first one to get knocked here to know where to run nowhere to hide here
02:22:15 Ranch is continuing to do damage to Vex, but they can't quite finish this fight. 50 seconds left until that zone starts to move. And you get the feeling that now is the time to go here for Ranch. He knows he gets them. He knows they need to move on from here. Vex will be eliminated with 11 squads now remaining. Aurora will have a walk into zone. They completely control that choke. We were seeing battles fiercely break out for what felt like five minutes or so.
02:22:41 Crazy, G-Dolphin also not going down without the fight, taking out the Sheila with his last breath, gets deleted as Aurora now could clear out, and Tropic, this is their POI, having this high ground advantage, this Trident is zooming its way all over here, really Mr. Worldwide himself being able to go all around Storm Point, but it's a good spot for the Trident to be, because you mentioned that high to low ground altitude here on this high ground, they are going to have to move forward, put themselves in the line of sight of the squads right below them, but that Trident could act as some makeshift cover.
02:23:11 I'm telling you, there's a place up here for the endgame. Trident off of the top of Downbeast with a boost into Zone. I'm telling you, I need to stand behind one of these teams at LAN. I can get the job done. But for now, for eSports, it's more traditional, man. Which is holding down a really good spot in Zone and trying to damage anyone walking in from them. My Finn's got that nemesis in his hands and we've written enough stories, we've told enough, we've seen it with our own eyes about what that weapon can do.
02:23:38 Bis zum nächsten Mal. Das Bursch-Meta zwischen dem Nemesis und dem Prahla. Das wirklich putt auf die Showcase für uns. Back in den Split 2 Playoffs.
02:23:48 Foot Esports playing off the other side of this fence line. Could be nice considering the fact that most of these teams are on the north side, but I'm still worried about the likes of Blue Whites that have been hanging out in Mill for so long, slowly rotating right behind them. That is actually the squad that they currently see right now behind them. Horizon Union are also not going to move from the building that Foot have also been trying to eye. So with this here, Foot want to hold this position since they are in that next circle.
02:24:11 Hello, hello, knock, knock.
02:24:39 Chaku is knocking here. Senti wants to find another friend. Nine squads left. Still holding on to the high ground. I know GoNex is still playing right underneath them. Yuin has managed to stay alive despite having so much trouble at the beginning of this game. But still, the best position here for Chaku before they eventually have to drop down to that low ground. GoNex still playing for their lives.
02:25:03 Ich bin jetzt mit der L-Star und zurück zu einem 4-3. Und ich werde es von dir, Vicky. Es ist der Meatball Slinger. Und das ist wirklich gut, aber es ist jetzt auf der Receiv-In-End. Es ist so großartig, aber ich kann nicht das Knot. Dänisch sind jetzt in der Bühne, in der Masselle. Sie haben hier für was es felt wie, und es könnte wohl sein, das ganze Spiel, Vicky. Wir sehen sie so früh in die Spiel.
02:25:25 We think that they're the ones with the L-Star out here because there's spaghetti all over the floor for some of these teams whiffing their shots foot again still hugging that fence line they are not gonna be moving forward anytime soon into that open ground thinking about how many squads that are sharing that low ground right below down beast outplayed is out here the cat walls go up this is gonna be crucial for this rotation for go next well let's get into position that's safe as well pretty sure they're safe in this corner however
02:25:50 They're taking a little bit more damage than they would have wanted from here. Go next in a tight spot. Let's jump into a listening now and see what the comms are like. Wait, let me do that. You ready? Yeah, ready. Get the squad. Bryson, who is in that? I'm not dead. I'm shooting for you. No, bro. I can't play. I have no idea.
Spannungsgeladene Endphase mit strategischen Manövern und unerwarteten Wendungen
02:26:18
02:26:18 Es war Schorler, Vicky. Konix, Eliminate. Wir hören die Verzweinung, dass Dänisch still alive in Zonier ist. Wir versuchen zu speedrunnen. Wir wollen die Thought-Prozesse, aber die Rotation haben einfach so schwer für ein Cirkel. Enden auf der Bühne, auf der Bühne, auf der Bühne, auf der Bühne, auf der Bühne. Entropik spielen mit der Bühne, gegen die Cirkel, nach dem. Entropik, mit der Bühne, auf der Bühne, auf der Bühne, auf der Bühne, auf der Bühne, auf der Bühne.
02:26:43 Successfully booting them off that high ground that they've been holding this whole time. Sanya also playing off that low ground here while the Sittafons are sharing some of that real estate with Danish. E-Sports still playing that fence line as well. You can see they're trying to command as much space as they can here. Danish still inside of this building, but...
02:27:02 They will be forced out as the zone starts to close behind them. 15 seconds until these squads are forced to fight. Who's got utility available? Who's used all of their resources to get to the position they find themselves in? Fabius still has the ultimate available here on Bangalore as well, so it can really cause some problems to the lobby by just throwing that down, letting that do the tick damage while they wait, they bait, and they almost kind of just let everybody else take care of each other before they burst out and try and commit to some of these KP.
02:27:31 I guess it's good news that Danish has that Watson with Fricks being there. Possibly holding onto a Jenny, ready to put down if that's the case. Some fireworks for the sky as a double evac tower is called in. Just a distraction here too. None of these teams want to possibly take this unless they want to try to reposition off the zipline, carrying that jump momentum forward. These are going to take their time as you can finally get called out as the solo. We saw Sonya live for as long as he can. OP now starting the engagement afoot. Now take onto the roof.
02:28:02 Bangle does go down everybody just trying to wait it out but still alive as well and like you're saying I think their play is to take the roof the problem is everyone's gonna see them so they try to leave it as late as possible to show presence life and has to jump up there now alongside his two teammates as they have no other option now they try and cut the zone in half this is so smart from for esports take the majority of players out of your eyesight now you can focus on one target in front of you it's a brilliant play call but they have to be aware of horizon behind them
02:28:31 They know that they're right there, so they want to try to fully send this here, but the Rolling Thunder, rather the Barrage coming in here for them to worry about. Lifen literally won, tries to duke it out, gets eliminated. Horizon now makes their way. The green light has been activated. Young Hong Kong is out of this lobby. We got Outplayed now, playing from underneath Downbeast. Horizon Union in a great position, while the Sita Fons are still fighting for their lives. Danish eliminated as well, so we're down to just three and eight.
02:28:57 Are you kidding me?
02:29:23 I felt like whoever was in the air stayed there for far longer than they should have when they were trying to deal with him and then as the attention was taken away, all of a sudden it just opened up and everyone else could move in and just do damage while I can't...
02:29:51 Name who was in the air, but someone took a grab lift. Someone came off a fight and just hung there for what felt like an eternity. And I mean, congratulations to them to take home that win. But I say, well, some pretty crazy endgames. And that endgame in general from down, I do love a downbeat zone because there's so much room to play for all the teams on Stormpoint. It almost feels like a world's edge zone at some point. And I mean, converting from positions like that, I felt like they weren't in the advantageous position there to win that game. So to turn it on their heads once again.
Analyse des Spielverlaufs und der Teamstrategien
02:30:20
02:30:20 Congratulations to them, a big, big win. Yeah, huge. And there was two favorite circles that I love that I usually see in Downbeast. Sometimes it pulls towards those north buildings of Downbeast. This time around we saw it pull towards the south. Both sides are very chaotic because half the circle is still out in the open that hugs the fence line. But Outplayed made that rotation, I believe, from Antenna and still was able to bully Entropic from the high ground at the very end. So they cleaned up a good amount of KP on top of the dub there.
02:30:45 The question is, how many points are on the board now for the teams, right? Because that's what it's all about today. The story of today is who's going to champs. It's as simple as that for Amir. We've got two spots to give away. Has anyone hit match point? We'll find out in just a few moments' time as we look back on what was an insane final circle there, Vicky. I want to see this one again because I feel like there was a player who hung in the air for so long, like for so long. Having to pre-play this, especially with all... Look at these cat walls from each side right here.
02:31:14 See Psykopf just trying to re-stabilize. Literally playing this out as a duo. But it was the extra pressure before they wrapped around and took out Lasita Fons. Looking on the side, if the cat walls didn't disrupt your vision, these Bangalore spokes definitely will if you don't have a Digi ready. Well, the Digi was ready. Lasita Fons do go down. Four kills, by the way. You can see. And this, this. Right here. Top of the grab list for so, so long. Distracted them all. And it just opened up.
02:31:39 Für Andi-Jaxx zu kommen und Clutch hier. Der Damage hat bereits gewonnen, mit einem kleinen Schiffel zu gehen. Ein ganz einfaches Job ist, um die Knocht-Down-Schild zu enden. Aber ANC outplayed. Ich fühle mich, es war nur die Graflift. Es war die Graflift, die wirklich verändert hat, wie die Final-Circle hat. Und mit 24 Points in total, nach 12 Kills, als auch. ANC outplayed, living auf der Name für den Rest der Lobby.
02:32:02 Was extra nice, too, is when they came down from the Gravity Lift, they ended up on two separate sides of that final circle, splitting the attention from what Horizon had to do there. So they had to look both ways and Outplayed essentially went for like a sandwiching position just between the 3v3 here. 12kp, looking at this first page in total. Danish with the 5kp as well. Blue, white, 6kp. Good amount of kills on the board for these top 10 squads here.
02:32:28 Yeah, it was going to be one of those games where you felt like someone who was forcing their way in late might be able to pick up some good KP as the zone started to shift. But on the other side of things, a little bit of a baron game for our bottom 10 teams there. You can see Phoenix Legacy not having the greatest of games. Maestro after the win we saw earlier, no points for them in that one. V2 as well, who won earlier today, just the three points for them. So fixed as well. I mean, this is, I don't know if anyone's hit match point.
02:32:55 At this point I'm just doing the quick maths in my head, which just means after four games we are still waiting for that one team to cross that 50 point threshold.
02:33:03 Das zeigt, wie in skill ein paar Teams diese Teams sind für heute. Specifically, Outplayed, nach dem Spiel, ich glaube, vor dem 4th Spiel, sie sind in 11th. Das Spiel, mit dem DUB und dem 12KB, hat es wahrscheinlich jetzt auf den 42. Putting sie über Vex-Gaming, als wir sie sehen, dass sie nachher sind. Ihr könnt sie 39 points auf dem Board für Vex. Tied mit Entropic, aber das ist so close. Even going all the way down to Maestro, so diese Top 6 Squads, hier mit V2 mit 29.
02:33:32 Ja, ich denke, wenn man in den Top 10 gewinnen kann, dann wird man auf Matchpoint sein. Und das ist interessant. Es ist interessant, dass es nicht nur ein Team kam und nicht nur die Lobby hat. Ich denke, du bist völlig richtig, es ist extrem close zwischen all den Teams.
02:33:51 Und ich denke, dass die Pressure ist zu erhöhen, ein bisschen hier auch. Denn diese Teams sind diejenigen, die sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben, sie haben.
02:34:09 You can imagine going into Game 5 and being like 10 points off of Matchpoint thinking, oh my, we just need to have a decent game. I'm not asking you to do anything crazy here. I'm not asking you to do anything ridiculous. I'm just asking you to stay alive long enough to give us a chance. And we'll have to see after this break if anyone is going to be able to stay alive long enough to give themselves a chance because we've got more Apex Legends coming your way from the LCQ.
02:36:12 Hier mit einem wunderschönen Reinde. Er wird bald wieder zurückgekommen. Ich bin froh, dass ihr wunderschönen Fakten einfach so schnell wie wir zurückgekommen sind. Das war's für die Nummer 4 auf Stormpoint. Während wir alles umsetzen sind, werden wir in den Lobbien und hoffentlich werden wir in den Lobbien. Und dann werden wir in den Reinde mit mir gehen. Und dann werden wir in den Action machen. Wir machen die Transition auf die Welt.
Strategische Bedeutung von Kartenwechseln und Teamdynamiken
02:36:32
02:36:32 We got to see some change ups to going from worlds edge into storm point and we've been seeing a pretty equal ground in terms of skill throughout the squads that have been able to put some points on the board and the dubs on top of it. Pretty even no team has reached match point yet, which is 50 points for those of you guys now just tuning in the end are new to match points. It's nice to note that because now we've just got rain day back in sorry rain day just highlight it recapping the viewers out here because we did love it a lot. Welcome back.
02:37:00 Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I took a nice break. You know, I think my computer thought I was still on break, but I had to tell it to quickly restart and say, no, we got to go. The action is here. Rain Day and Vicky for the cast. Vicky, it's been fun. I mean, this has been a good day, but I think the bigger surprise, as you were probably recapping, is after four, we have yet to have Match Point, which, you know, in contrast with split two playoffs.
02:37:23 I think it's a little wild, just the aspect of how fast we got to Match Point there and how many teams got on it quickly. And this is such a slower pace. What are you making out of that? Is it just the lobby here? Is it nerves? Is it the specific groups of teams?
02:37:38 It's a mix of a bunch of different teams from how they qualified to be here in this finals in the first place. The transition from playing through the first round of winners, the first round, the second round, then afterwards, and then the double elimination rounds. You have this plethora of teams that come out from different areas, whether it be the challenger circuit, playoffs, whether it be from the pro league itself, from the split. It's a lot of different mixed skill here in general. And some of the teams that we could expect to be much more consistent are B.
02:38:08 Ja. Ja.
02:38:37 Aber es zeigt auch diese Team-Strengthen. Versus die Team-Strengthen, die nicht zufrieden sind, auf Stormpoint. Ja, absolut. Und die Tale von zwei differenten Maps. Du kannst nur zwei Team-Strengthen sehen, und dann haben sie zu warten. Und dann haben sie zu warten, in einem Map, dass sie nicht ihre Rhythm haben. Und Rhythm ist almost alles in Apex Legends. ANC Outplayed are our final winners, obwohl ich dachte, das war zu hoffen, in Game 4. Aber sie haben noch viele Punkte. Maestro Gaming, Vex, V2, also winners heute. Wer wird Game 5 gewinnen? Das ist das, was wir finden.
02:39:06 Big question, too, though, is can you get it done on yet another map change? Everyone who got a little momentum, can you switch back and get to World's Edge and do it again? Questions that will be answered here as the teams fly out of the dropship. And we continue to tell these stories of two teams that will eventually find a way to stamp their tickets to championships in September. 18 teams will be very disappointed.
02:39:30 Aber das ist das, was du für, Vicky. Das ist das, was wir lieben, über das E-Sport. Als wir schauen uns auf die Map. Brutal hier. Das ist verrückt. Mit dieser Lobby, wir können nur zwei zwei, das können nur aufstehen.
02:39:45 2A wird definitiv werden, auf die NICE-Hot-Spot. Das ist mit der P.O.I. in Countdown. Aber sogar besser, Dänisch mit der Split-Drop über Mirage. Sie haben auch Informationen in Lava Fischer zwischen Survey Beacon und Ring Console. Und sie haben uns seit dem Beginn gehört. Wir sind nach Norden in Worlds Edge. No mehr von den Southeren Zonen. Wir wollen mehr von den Southeren Zonen kommen. Und seit es wird über Skyhook gehen, Horizon Union wahrscheinlich bereits hat Informationen.
02:40:14 ...seeing that Ring Beacon usually spawns over to the west side of Skyhook. It is to say if V2 can get access there, or is Horizon Union gonna try to engage and gatekeep them from getting that information?
02:40:26 Also, up north, you can see just a big part of that conversation is how difficult sometimes it can be when you see these zeros. It's not teams disappearing and having the inability to fight. Sometimes it's just knowing they've got to go through six teams from the south all the way up to the north, and running across any one of them could spell an end, an early end to their game. So I think this is, when you look at it, not something to be overly critical for teams, but it's something that definitely rubs you the wrong way if you continue to.
02:40:55 Have maybe what you feel is an uphill battle going up to zones that are far away from your point. As Nasky had said, and I think this was interesting, Vicky. Previous metas, we had seen Edge play.
02:41:07 haben die gleiche Leistung oder mehr als Zone Play. Aber in dieser Meta, es fühlt sich, dass die Teams rotatieren, rotatieren late sind, ist wahrscheinlich warum eine Zone far away from you hat ruffelt so viele Feathers in der Pro Scene, denn es ist wirklich nicht so advantageous als es ist. Imagine how much worse it feels when you get grief and the RNG isn't in your favor and you also don't have a Ring console at your POI.
02:41:34 I mean, we've heard it. We've heard it from the pros themselves. Sometimes it's just a double whammy and it's unfortunate. And that's why it's important to pinpoint how some of these POIs just benefit off of having that information more likely than others. We do get to take a look at our winners from our previous match outplayed already with their quick rotation here. And with this rotation, I do believe they are exiting out of big mods. So it was pretty quick to already get to this lava siphon area. So that way they don't waste any time they rotate to that north side like you mentioned.
02:42:03 Vext still hanging back. Vortex and Vext still hanging back inside. Esports also. We questioned whether they needed to slow it up or pick it up. I think that is obviously a statement, maybe just about their rotation, but also in-game as Nasky had them as one of his favorites, but yet to really crack.
02:42:20 in terms of getting close to that top two. Danish, though, a team that has performed quite well. Vicky Young, Hong Kong, Beavis, and Fricks. With that Sierra Horizon Catalyst playing what is a pretty meta composition and landing at trials, they're going to be looted up, ready to go, and I think the great thing about this is they can play that zone and not have to move too much while also having the benefits of, you know, not really having to loot either. It's kind of a win-win.
02:42:45 What I love about Danish is when I was able to tune in and take a look at how their winner's round two was going, they were able to take that first game, but they seemed so cohesive there too. This is definitely one of those teams that run away with momentum when they are playing confident. Having the loot over here by Trials, as well as already seeing where the circle is going to be pulling, could also benefit them from having that high ground that Trials is able to overlook. But this circle could easily start rotating outside of Trials into more of that middle area by Skyhook.
02:43:14 wie das geht für sie, denn wenn es das ist, kann es beherrennt werden, depending auf wie das Rotation wird, also auf die Spots, die sie von Countdown zu sehen werden.
02:43:24 Extremely good point. You can't guarantee it all, and you can't get it all in Apex. You kind of got to split with what you think is best for your position and go with it. Foot Esports, 14 points in the bottom half. They'll have to step it up, looking to get some action into the crafter and get those shields leveled up as well, especially on the side of Lippin as we continue with round one closing. Slow and steady pace, Vicky. That's how we're going to see, I think.
Taktische Manöver und überraschende Wendungen im Spielgeschehen
02:43:52
02:43:52 für den ersten Teil dieses Spiel, als die Team starten zu wissen, dass wir sehr nahe zu erreichen, das 6-point-Games threshold werden, das bedeutet, wenn jemand gewinnt, es definitiv ist vorbei. Entropik, unser 2nd-Place Team, 11 Punkte entfernt von Matchpoint, aber unter Duress hier, und jetzt ist der Silenz, sie haben keine Ultime zu kämpfen. Das könnte der Ende der Entropik sein, Vicky. Oh, Danish art!
02:44:13 Out here, eating a buffet right now is in Tropic with just Hierarcha alive fighting for their lives. Ooh, nice nade take here. Nice nade. Love that. See if he can try to capitalize here with Freaks getting the finish, though they are also able to get his shields off easily. Ooh! Hierarcha with these wingman shots. Nade coming in. He's doing it. I cannot believe this. Can he get the shields off? Can he get the shields off? Oh, he gets the blue. No way behind him. No, and the slow Danish.
02:44:40 Kälther-Blessy-T almost did it, and the third party rolls in. Wow, wow, wow, Vicky. That third party saved Danish's life. It was the Seat de France who got involved, and they'll be happy because they stopped the number two team here from crossing the match point threshold, which they desperately want because they need more time to build up points. But it is Danish, who are just a few points behind them, who survive with one. Young Hong Kong, a rat.
02:45:08 Hiding behind the rock, looking at the fallen remnants of his team and thanking his lucky stars that LaCite de France interfered because Iarca was popping off.
02:45:18 Ist es sogar noch ein paar Medkit? Ist es auch noch ein paar Hörbete Sensor? Es macht einfach ein bisschen zu viel noise. In case der Sitte Frans sind wirklich Hunger für die Dänischen. Aber sie werden auch noch ein bisschen re-stabilisieren. Da ist wahrscheinlich ein Team oben. Ich würde mich überlegen, wenn es nicht auf der High-Ground ist. Aber es ist auch noch ein paar Hörbete. Aber es ist noch ein paar Hörbete. Aber es ist noch ein paar Hörbete. Aber es ist noch ein paar Hörbete. Aber es ist noch ein paar Hörbete.
02:45:47 Wonderful initial fight there. I really enjoyed both the elements of it. I mean, just from the last player standing as well, when you can see, you know, it's a catalyst, it almost changes the game. We didn't get a chance to kind of watch any of the piercing spikes play, but it was a great grenade. And it's one of the characters that I think as an anchor role, you would want to have a live last. So it almost works out in their favor.
02:46:12 Unfortunately, it does not. Lasita Frans, though, notably playing without Asir, which could turn out to haunt them in a bit. But right now, they've taken what is such a desirable location, at least for now, as our ring starts to close. And we'll get more information on where this ends in Trials with two teams down. Look at Davis, they're having to play outside the circle.
02:46:32 Wir sehen uns die Lobo-Black-Markt-Markt-Being-Called-In-Above-Trials. Maestro-Gaming-Is-Running-A-Loba-So that's probably right above them, too.
02:47:01 So two teams sharing that real estate while Skyhook is looking even more congested than ever because of so many of these teams have been so quick with the rotate to secure one of those buildings. But that also means here, Randy, that we are going to see much more squads in the later game because there's so many more buildings that are provided for the teams to take up that space.
02:47:19 Ja, Skyhook offers, you know, much more of a wide range of ways to play it, unlike some other zones, which really do force you into a tunnel and eliminate a lot of our teams in round four on that rotation. Right now, though, round two is still playing, so plenty of time. Still, I'd say the setup phase in some ways, but it is slowly ending away from that into more of the mid-game where teams are continually fighting for presence, trying to find any late rotators, and one of those being Vexed, who is finding themselves still outside the zone.
02:47:48 It's been true that they performed really well leading into this with 10 points coming in, but now having 29 earned after four, they'll probably want to do a little bit more with their play. I'm not sure that would crack the top 10 for them had they come in without those previous points. So it would put them, I think, at about an eighth right behind or tied with V2. So obviously more of a performance needed for Vex to continue their first place reign because this is the game that people could start to
02:48:17 Vicky, Vex have to be careful.
02:48:21 Good point, especially looking at how close the overall standings are after those four games alone. And Tropic being out, though, could be good news for Vex, at least, because they were sitting in seconds with that one KP that we saw Haraka just steal at the very end. So that probably set them up for 40 points currently in seconds, right behind Outplayed, who we literally just saw Outplayed in that last game. Very nice to see as Vortex now just looking on at the action that's happening right in front of them.
02:48:50 Protect CGO 18th place.
02:48:53 Would you rather be 18th place with a P2020 or 18th place with a nice Skullpierce out Ranger 30-30? I'd rather be neither. I think I'd rather be first. But hypotheticals indeed. I do love that 30-30. And the hands of our team holding it down. Sanka, Libre as well for Voltage on a Gold Shield and a fully leveled up Wingman. We'll see what they can do as we transition over to where...
02:49:21 We expect the zone to end. In Skyhook, lots of buildings to play. Blue-Whites, Challenger Circuit team, they've won two of the Challenger circuits that have been available. That's pretty impressive, Vicky. This is a team that definitely, whether they do well today to make championships or not, we're going to see a lot of in Apex. They definitely got some crazy aim, that's for sure. It's really impressive to see how far they've been able to come. And who is trying to contest Firestroke Gaming on this zipline? Vax Gaming.
02:49:47 Playing right underneath them. Danish do get called out. It was Hong Kong. The solo that we saw at the very beginning gets cleaned up. Vex Gaming gonna be able to definitely capitalize here. And I do like this call to rotate around this rock. It is early circle. They're just getting a little bit of that chip damage here. While Maestro Gaming are not gonna be moving from that spot on the top of Trials. And this next circle is gonna still protect them. So it's gonna be Vex just rotating from this north side onto Skyhook.
02:50:14 Yeah, you know, it's worth it because trying to do that any later, they've got to deal with Maestro. But now Vex, they maybe have a clear path. They've rotated late, but they are on the precipice of being one of our first teams to reach match point. Coming in as the number one team with 10 points already. Let's go in with a listen in with Vex to see how the new edition of G Dolphin with Matafe and Unlucky navigate this one.
02:50:40 Es ist mit Rampart, Bro. Ich sehe einen. Let's go. Ich sehe, wo wir spielen können. Ja, ich bin in front. Ja, wir sind nicht in hier.
02:50:55 Ja, ja, ja. Ja, ja.
02:51:21 Ich habe einen Schmocken, dann komme ich zum Bett. Ich habe einen Schmocken. Ich habe einen Schmocken. Ich habe einen Schmocken. Ich habe einen Schmocken. Ich habe einen Schmocken. Ich habe einen Schmocken. Ich habe einen Schmocken.
02:51:37 100 oder 1? Ich weiß.
02:52:02 Am I back-off? I am probably ready to back-off. I got just Q from your team. I can't help you. Yeah, they're just on me.
02:52:17 Go next. Play the villains here. They wore the heroes in another shot, but this time they play spoiler to the rotation of Vex, as we said was late, and it proved to be a little too late for two of three members to survive. They still have G-Dolphin, who's pulled out some incredible plays. We'll see if he can do it again, but he is going against a very crowded Skyhook squad, excuse me, lobby right now.
02:52:42 In between, GoNex on one side with the Fuse and getting griefed by the Seertak on the other side. There's no catching a break.
02:52:50 You lose out on the gravity lift. On top of the fact that you have to just try to run out into the open is a very tough situation to be. But Gonex playing outside the market here. Have that slight low ground. It could play off the lip of this cliffside. So get out of the line of sight of some of these other teams that could be poking at them from afar. Thinking about Lucifer France that are still playing off the low ground of Trials. Maestro could actually help them out being on the high ground. Because they could keep them in their own line of sight. So many teams are also going to be funneled outside of Skyhook. Which means for this next circle closing in.
02:53:19 Es wird ein Bloodbath sein. Ein Team ist auf der anderen Seite, auch. Wow. Und viele Teams werden müssen in dieser Zone gehen, Vicky. Niemand ist in es, als wir uns für Chaos haben. Bloodbath ist eine gute, sehr Appropriate Wort hier. Und sie müssen schnell gehen. Obviamente, wie Sie sehen, in der Zentral Zone ist, es geht um.
02:53:49 Das Zone, die Rocks gewinnen.
02:53:52 The rocks are in God's supply. The rocks are the champion? Is that what it is? This is so difficult for the squads that have to rotate through sky. You're going to be navigating through open ground. Maestro are going to 100% be capitalizing off of this. Even Masita France are going to have to exit out of the bunker from Trials into the line of sight of the squads that are going to be holding buildings until the circles are going to close in behind them. They're going to be the ones that are going to be easy pickings for the squads that are just going to be looking.
02:54:22 Ja.
02:54:39 I would say the white tissue, just in case, you know, he knows that anybody who sneezes on him will actually end up getting a KP. Got to be careful about that one. Ulo switches it up with a purple that fast. V2 now in a good position, but can they hold on to it? Alternator in hand. You can tell they're working with early equipment that they picked up or just barely picked up in these last engagements, but a C or Q.
02:55:02 Kann solve everything. Immediately delete the Horizon Ultimate. The Black Hole will not pull anyone this time around. And they're getting rid of their ordinances. Arc Stars dropped out. Now it's just a gunfight. And an alternator can do decently well here, Vicky. But it's not the gun you would want in terms of speed. So they've got to find an opening somehow. And I think they're looking for joke to maybe in a focus of attention.
02:55:22 Das ist ein Desperate Times called für Desert Measures hier. Zidane ist in einem Trouble. Sie versuchen ihn zu den anderen Seite zu ziehen. Sie haben auch die Informationen auf ihren Hälften, auch. Sie sehen Joke, der Ultimate Accelerant ist. Sie wollen die Exhibition online so schnell wie er kann, denn da ist noch ein Kampf in fronte von ihnen, dass sie sich in der Rückseite von haben. Nemesis von Afar ist immer gut, auch mit den Ironsides. Joke ist viel, aber nicht viel. Und dann geht es weiter. Also in der Geburt.
02:55:50 Ich glaube, es geht um die Stairs. Das ist wirklich sehr contestant hier, als 13 unserer Teams sind noch immer wieder in die Zone. Ich würde sagen, vielleicht 11 von ihnen sind aus der Zone. Und nur Maestro und Lesite DeFrance sind knapp genug zu sagen, dass sie in die Zone spielen jetzt. Go, Next in Trouble. 11 Punkte entfernt, in 4th place. Können sie aus dieser Kampf kommen und dann in die Match Point kommen?
02:56:14 Oh, we have to see here 11 squads Lex. Let's go into a listen and with go next to see what they plan next Ready
02:56:40 Quacken alle! Geh, geh, geh, geh!
02:56:57 Ich habe Kaffee, ich habe Kaffee, ich habe Kaffee, ich habe Kaffee, ich habe Kaffee, ich habe Kaffee
02:57:23 Wir spielen Katwall und Kiel Slash.
02:57:50 Es ist ein Schild-Swap, Micee zu machen, Micee zu machen, Micee zu machen.
02:58:10 Replacing DCTs that aren't doing fantastically, but I don't think it's enough. Up on top, it's Lesite de France who had paid their price to get here by eliminating that first squad we mentioned with Hierarcha holding strong near Trials. They come in, but still on top, Vicky. It's Maestro, who have not left from the beginning. The third-party Griefers do it again, and they are going to be able to hang out outside of those bunker doors.
02:58:36 Die Creepen Barrage, als Maestro Gaming now met, ist jetzt wieder auf die High-Ground. Look at this set-up! Die Pathfinder haben die Amp-Walls, die Sheila bereit zu bewegen, wie der Rambo kommt. Playing auf die Low-Ground ist so schwierig. Hier ist Aurora, ich versuche Skyrim zu über diesen Rocken. Senden die Smoknade hier, auch.
02:58:56 Working with a lot of ammo to work with here as well. Just looking on the other side, we have Aurora, Maestro Gaming that have been on the high ground this whole time, and Lesique de France playing off that low ground. And these are two of the teams that started here in terms of that engagement. Lesique de France and Maestro playing zone. Going back to what we've said, it has worked so well for these teams. Can they get a result though here? Maestro Gaming probably doesn't have enough to finally find themselves on match point after this, but Lesique de France...
02:59:24 Could they maybe play Spoiler and somehow take over the high ground? The question is, can you topple the King of the Castle, who has not moved from the beginning? That will be a win for any of these teams, especially the likes of Aurora, who have so much to prove and do not want to miss out on an opportunity of getting to championships. Three squads left. They're climbing Vicky, but what are they going to find at the top? Just bullets.
Unerwartete Spielwendungen und strategische Analysen
02:59:45
02:59:45 Oh, is this the Halloween event going on right now? They're just trying to claw their way to force Maestro off this high ground here, playing around with zombies, just forcing them off their backs, looking right, looking left here, putting in the extra pressure to Aurora. They do get the knock off the Arc Star, but they are not going to give up this spot. They need to hold this down. Yeah, you hear the catwalk right behind them too, and the piercing spikes, but they're just going to stay here, and Lesita Fonz are going to suffer for it. I mean, you've got smokes.
03:00:10 Can the Catwall do anything for you here? I'm not sure if he's got the ability to play it right now. They've got the Loba Rampart in pass.
03:00:16 So that's why they have this accessibility. It's going to be very hard to beat it. So you may just have to both as two teams jump up at the same time and find your spot. Even if it's a little wonky. Maestro, they're feeling the pressure. Denze almost goes down zero. Nothing goes down as well. This is Aurora. Sunset is going to move. Maestro somehow get taken down after what having looked like Godspot for sure. And it's the seat in the front and Aurora who will fight it out for first place. It looks like Aimbot is going to go down. Aurora climbs the mountain.
03:00:45 And they plant the flag with a win. I cannot believe Maristo just got juked off the high ground like they were Mufasa on Pride Run. Are you kidding me, Aurora? They had the opportunity. I'm surprised they even were able to get around the amp walls. The way I would describe that zone, Vicky, the way I'm processing it is when someone has such a clear advantage over two other teams.
03:01:14 It becomes the enemy of my enemy. The friend of my friend is my enemy, right? Whatever that is. The enemy, they both had a common enemy. And I think they both decided that who cares about this other team barely staying alive and climbing this rock. And they both pushed. Aurora pushed. And we saw Lasik de France push. And Maestro, being the center of attention and the focus of that ire, unfortunately lost that spot and really...
03:01:38 was you thought would have been a first place location ended up being a third place location. I'm sure that's frustrating for Maestro, but as we watch it back, Vicki, give me your perception as to how that happened with a pretty interesting zone. We don't see much here.
03:01:51 Well, first off, I feel like they're running the script because we said that Aurora desperately needed to put themselves on the board. Even maybe trying to go for a cheeky evac tower placement. Look at where they're standing here with ninth overall with 32 points. Hanging out on the end, this probably has elevated them to top three at the very least. But looking at the way that they found this opportunity, it looked like Maestro was so busy dealing with the pests that were behind them. Between the smoke nades, they found some opportunity here to get around the rocks. Still adding the pressure.
03:02:21 Es scheint, wenn sie die Krack haben, das war die Greenlight für sie zu gehen. Ich denke, das ist total true. Und die Faktor haben die Smokes, das ist wirklich der Vorteil. Und Ranches kommt, und er hat Informationen. Aber ich denke, auf der anderen Seite auch, man sieht, dass da schon damage ist, von Dinze.
03:02:37 Und ich denke, es war einfach ein Double Whammy. Ich liebe die Art, wie sie approacht das. R99s up close, in der Smoke, mit Digi-Threats. You know, Aurora kam zu play. Once they got up top, it was just Maestro maybe needed to do more to recognize the threat earlier from Aurora on that side with the Smokes. Because I'll tell you what, they were the only ones who actually could occlude the Vision of Maestro in that position. And so I think maybe more attention needed to be paid to them. But credit to Maestro for just getting to that spot. I mean...
03:03:04 Das war hart für die gesamte Team zu spielen. Ich meine, bei diesem Punkt, mit Aurora auf den Weg auf der Hoppe, Maestro hatte die Godspot. Das war der Win-Game. Das war der Win-Con. Denze, die alleine auf der einen Seite der Pilleboxen, allowing Tacks und 0-0 auf den anderen Seite zu focus. Es ist wie was du gesagt. Basically, allowing die anderen Team auf der anderen Seite zu haben.
03:03:33 Distract Maestro Gaming, and then 3-2-1 Densee so he doesn't have a chance. I'm laughing at Dan had mentioned what I actually said, which is the friend of my friend is my enemy, which I just find very funny. You introduced me to your friend and suddenly that's my enemy. Well, you know, I don't know. I don't know how it all went, but let's just say that our match results are going to tell a better story than that final phrase that I put together. Look at this. Aurora, 20 points. Fantastic. Lasita Franz as well. Maestro.
03:04:02 Das ist aufzettend, Vicky. Nicht nur weil sie 3rd haben, aber sie waren counten auf Placement Points. Das war eine Placement Points-Zone-Game. Und sie haben immer noch 5 gespielt.
03:04:16 Ja, they had a great game.
03:04:45 V2, für mich, ich stelle aus, die V2, die V4, die V5, die V3. Ich weiß nicht, wo ich überhörte es, aber als wir über die Back-Halb gehen und sehen, wie unsere Bottom-20-Teams performt.
03:05:00 Statistically, I think it was actually Tech who I was overhearing. I was in a conversation with him saying four points or so statistically is enough to kind of keep pace with the lobby. And if you can continually do that, you'll be okay, especially with, you know, a couple of better games. I think that is where you could see Foot, Vortex, V2, Danish. You see these teams who maybe aren't always at...
03:05:22 Das ist sicher, was wir sehen in Tropic, an unfortunate 20th place, aber wir wissen, wie das ging. Das war alles, Lasiette de France oder in Tropic, die wahrscheinlich in die Top 3 sind, und Lasiette de France kam in der richtigen Zeit, Vicky.
03:05:36 Ja, die Punkte sind einfach nur ein Krumm, sie können sie sich auf, wenn sie können. Weil bei dem Moment, wie das Outplay played auf der ersten Seite, als als Go-next mit der 8KP. Du kannst jetzt sehen, wo wir jetzt sind. Aber mit nur 1 extra In-Ford Outplay, wir sind definitiv da. Go-next, 48 Punkte. Aber es ist jetzt noch so, wie das Top 8, jetzt geht es um, wie in den Danisch, wie in Points es ist. Es nimmt 1...
03:06:05 Ich glaube, es ist wirklich wichtig, dass es das 2nd-Place ist. Ich glaube, es ist safe zu sagen, wir werden 6-Games gehen. Es ist, ich glaube, es ist nicht möglich, weil wir niemanden auf Match Point sind. Aber was ich denke, das ist wirklich wichtig, ist, dass jemand von 8th-Place zu 1st-Place ist,
03:06:30 Even if they don't win Match Point, if they come second in that game, they can leapfrog into qualifying for championships. We were at about maybe the most interesting position we could be in as a spectator and as a player because one big game at this point means that you could book your ticket to Birmingham in September. That is massive, and that gives a lot of teams hope who might think that, well, maybe we're not close to Match Point. No, you're one big game away. We will see what happens, of course, as we've got another one coming up. I'm going to take a break.
03:07:00 Excited to see how Game 6 unfolds as we go to break. We'll be right back with more LCQ.
03:08:40 Ich weiß nicht, dass wir in den LCQ sind. Das war ein, Dan. Ich habe gesagt, ich habe ein paar Apex Legends gesehen. Ich habe noch nie gesehen, das Zone. Ich habe noch nie gesehen. Ich habe noch nie gesehen, das Zone. Ich habe noch nie gesehen. Ich habe noch nie gesehen, das Zone. Ich habe noch nie gesehen. Ich habe noch nie gesehen, das Zone. Ich habe noch nie gesehen. Ich habe noch nie gesehen. Ich habe noch nie gesehen. Ich habe noch nie gesehen. Ich habe noch nie gesehen. Ich habe noch nie gesehen. Ich habe noch nie gesehen. Ich habe noch nie gesehen. Ich habe noch nie gesehen. Ich habe noch nie gesehen.
03:09:08 But that circle was nuts. It was one of those where I don't think anyone expected it to happen. And when you see a final circle like that, everyone's just a bit perplexed. You have to think on your feet. We saw some teams were able to get into position. Maestro probably thought they were going to be good on top. But unfortunately, a few people had a little bit of a word with that, and they wanted to get up and get in their faces. I wonder if this is all Natsky's fault, because he was saying, you know, it's really zone meta at the moment. Talk about playing zone, and they're like, I'll play this one.

03:09:34 Ich glaube, wir sind noch in die Position, wo niemanden hat Match Point. Aber wir würden vielleicht ein paar Teams vielleicht nicht nur noch einen in diesem Spiel, Dan, aber wir sind ein paar Teams zu sehen, wenn sie die Möglichkeit haben. Ich denke, wir haben Teams auf 49, 48, 46 Punkte, respectively, als wir in Match Nummer 6 gehen. So, wir würden ein paar Teams über das Threshold in Match Nummer 6 gehen. Back in World's Edge, wir gehen! Before wir zurück zu Storm Point in der nächsten Woche.
03:10:02 Ich denke, wir wurden verletzt von unseren internationalen Tournamenten. Wir sehen uns beim Match Point in 3, in 4, wo sie die Lobbys dominieren, sie sind consistent. Aber das zeigt, wie weit das Lobby ist und wie es wirklich ist.
03:10:15 So many teams that could be on Matchpoint next match. And then the scary thing is, if one of those teams were to then win it, it's about just trying to leapfrog those who are ahead of you with just a few points to try and get that second qualification spot. But also with how crazy this has been so far and how back and forth we've seen some teams go, we could be going quite some games before we finally see a victor on Matchpoint. But as you say, we're back onto World's Edge now, so it is going to be a good chance for those who had consistency.
03:10:44 in match number five to try and find some again here in match number six.
03:11:11 All right, how much do you reckon? How many teams do you think are going to be on Matchpoint after this game?
03:11:40 Hmm. Er ist stumpf! 3! 3! 3! 3! Ich glaube, wir werden vier Teams machen. Ich werde nur noch mehr machen. Oder noch mehr. Es ist schade, weil wir könnten...
03:11:54 Das ist nicht so einfach. Sie brauchen ein gut genug Spiel.
03:12:22 The crazy thing is, we're talking about Matchpoint, understandably, one team is going to qualify for the ALGS Championships through Matchpoint, but with how close the rest of the lobby is on points, every single game at the moment
03:12:35 mit Matchpoint auf der horizon wird es sogar mehr wertvoller, besonders wenn du eine große KP-Games hast, weil du vielleicht die Team auf Matchpoint ist, wenn du das erste Spiel hast, wenn du das erste Spiel hast, wenn du 8-9 KP-Games hast, das kann genug sein, dass du in 2nd Platz hast, das ist die andere Qualifizierungspot. So, jetzt haben wir ein Minimum von 6-Games, es ist ein Fall, dass du jetzt den Job gemacht hast, weil Matchpoint wird das Ding endet, was jetzt passiert.
03:13:04 Und ich denke, wenn du ein Team bist, die nur einen Punkt hat, dann ist es safe für heute. Geht in die Top 15. Und dann...
03:13:11 Think to yourself, how do we achieve the most points possible? Now, we have freedom to try and get as aggressive as we want if we'd like to. We could just run at teams to try and pick up KP. Or if they found themselves in a primary position, they might say, all right, well, you know, we can play for late game here and we might be able to get as much points as possible just doing that. Now, UTFT are getting aggressive onto VCGO. They've been able to get a knock, but are they going to be able to actually push up on it before the res happens? That would be the real question. UTFT, who are having a very, very slow day so far.
03:13:40 They've only got the one point on the board, but you never know in Apex Legends, one game can change it all as they do try and fly in. However, I think you've summed it up perfectly. So much time was taken to close that gap and get into a position to finish off those kills that it will be a 3v3 fight here between them and the team on the other side of this building. And now you've got to be careful because a Spitfire and an Alternator...
03:14:02 Ja, es ist Vexz das auch. So Vexz auf 42 Punkte jetzt. Sie sind nur 8 von Matchpoint.
03:14:16 I think as we see some of the bigger teams start to get on that killfeed, we will be slowly but surely starting to add some squads to Matchpoint. But more importantly, for those who are even closer, 19 squads remain. You just want to see that number ticking down as Phoenix Legacy also go out to GoNext. And what does that mean, Mark, if GoNext were able to get a few points there? It's almost as if you don't imagine I can do the maths, which is completely right. But GoNext will be on Matchpoint. I'm pretty convinced about that. At least two points is all they needed. So they got those two points.
03:14:45 They've got the two KP's, so they will be the first team to officially hit match point. GoNext will be looking to go next and close out this tournament in the next game. But for now, Vortex, they've got a long way to go. They are currently sat on the other side of the table. 18 points for them, 18th place, but in a good spot here in Tree.
03:15:04 I do love that from GoNex, though. Get aggressive on a fight, take that KP, and now for the rest of the game, they can try and play it in any way they want. Do they want to play safe? Do they want to try and go for a big, huge game and start to be aggressive and push fights? You could even start to ruin people's games now at this point. If you know, I don't know, where outplayed are going to be rotating, you might say, all right, well, why don't we go and try and hold them out, for example? So there is a lot of different ways GoNex can approach this one, if they would like. Yeah, I feel like if I'm...
03:15:31 Go next right now. I'm thinking this is a game for points. Not only you try. If you win this game, you're probably going to deny a couple of teams getting to match point alongside you, right? So I would play this one out as sensibly as possible. And with the zone information that they have as well from Marine Console, they're going to be in a really good spot here. And it looks like we might actually be pulling a little bit away from Tree. VC, go now.
03:15:52 Ja, Vor-Tex ist gut, um das erste Knochen zu haben. Sie nicht sehen, dass die Gap geschlossen sind. Sie können Reset und jetzt gewinnen das Engagement. Und sie haben einen ziemlich soliden Platz für heute. Sie werden sehr glücklich mit, wie ich gedacht habe, nach Trey.
03:16:20 There is a lot of teams that are going to be making their way down there, as that's where the circle is heading. So the teams who are close to match point, I mean, outplayed, they are within the zone. They should be able to comfortably get into the top 15 and get onto match point.
03:16:32 Für Aurora, sie haben ihren Weg gemacht. Sie sind eigentlich nebenbei aus dem Moment. So eine andere Team, die vielleicht auf den Match Point werden. Die Teams, die ein bisschen mehr Arbeit haben, Vexed, Leicite de France, Maestro. Sie haben bereits gemacht ihre Bewegung. Maestro ist in der Center Circle, aber Vexed ist immer wieder nach Lava Siphon, wo sie wieder dropen. Vielleicht gucken, dass sie ein Kills auf die Teams rotatieren. Ja, vielleicht gucken, dass sie die Ring-Consol haben. Also, sie haben sie auch noch einen 3er-Zone gelegt.
03:16:59 Ja, we're to judge where this zone is going to go. It is looking like a tree zone, but it might pull back towards the thermal side. It is going to be a tree zone indeed. We just got the information.
03:17:08 It's against V2 as well. V2 had such a strong start, but have really fallen off that 25-point game. But since they've only picked up eight points in the matches afterwards, still of course within a
03:17:38 Schott of Matchpoint, if they were to get into the final circle and maybe get a victory or at least a lot of kills, but it just hasn't really rolled with momentum, which we thought it might after that initial victory. Le Cid de France, though, still being held out, and maybe the Exhibit will just make them back off for now and not able to capitalize on the Dark Veil they put down. There's so little health, but a shield swap or a battery means that they can just get back on them for.
03:18:01 Ja, La Cite de France und V2 sind alle ihre Utilität. Sie sehen, wie du gesagt, die Exhibit hat sich in die Gefahr gefahren. V2 ist jetzt zu schlafen. V2 ist jetzt zu pushen. V2 ist jetzt zu pushen. Ein bisschen von Spray kommt in von Joke, aber nicht genug zu breiten. However, er hat sich zu bemerken. Oh, er hat sich zu bemerken. Oh, er hat sich zu bemerken. Er hat sich zu bemerken. Ist jemand in der Harvester? Das ist die Frage. Es ist nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es. Es ist nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es. Das ist ein 3-3-V-3. Das ist wie ein TDM-Match. Ja, natürlich, sie werden das wissen, aber...
03:18:31 Ja, es ist also...
03:18:57 V2, if they back up, they can get the Height here in Harvester. And we all know how hard it is to fight against Height in any kind of situation. That's exactly what the situation is. Sykov is trying to move forward. They're trying to keep the pressure on and needs to just because of the fact that that zone is closing behind them. They want to be in a position to take this 3v3 without the zone being something which can influence the way that the fight does turn out. So for Le Cis de France, they're trying to force V2 back. And V2 at the moment...
03:19:25 Well, if they can get some damage with these grenades, then maybe that'll be enough to initiate a fight.
03:19:41 Both teams just kind of posturing up against one another at the moment. And as we mentioned, it's an isolated fight for now. But the longer this goes on, the more likely another team might just decide to start walking over towards it. There are a couple of teams who are close enough, but I don't think anyone's really going to be walking outside of the zone right now, especially with how closely contested some of the points totals are when we're getting towards match point. Remember.
03:20:05 Gonext haben bereits auf den Matchpoint geholfen. Sie sind 51 gerade jetzt. Sie haben nur noch einen Punkt geholfen. So sie werden in die Top 15 geholfen. Sie werden einfach nur die Kielfeeder geholfen. Sie werden nur die Kielfeeder geholfen werden, als Round 2 closes. Sie haben V2 gewonnen, dass sie nicht gewinnen. Sie haben eine Menge damage gemacht. Sie haben sich die langsame Kielfeeder geholfen. Sie haben sich die langsame Kielfeeder geholfen. Sie haben sich die langsame Kielfeeder geholfen. Sie haben sich die langsame Kielfeeder geholfen. Sie haben sich die langsame Kielfeeder geholfen. Sie haben sich die Kielfeeder geholfen.
03:20:33 Tank a little bit of zone damage and wrap through towards Thermal Station, which isn't the worst idea in the world. Horizon Union might have something to say about that rotate, however, as they might be able to hold them out in this choke, but they should be safe unless Horizon Union take their eyes, excuse me, turn their attention towards where that zone is closing. Do they have any Vectile to play with? That's another question to be answered, and certainly not from the POV of YOLU right now, but...
03:21:01 This rap is a little bit risky. It's smart in some ways, but they're gonna hope that Horizon Union don't watch it for too long. I'll try and do the math as well and work out how likely it is and how many teams we could have.
03:21:14 Ja, das ist das Wettbewerb. Das ist die Wettbewerb. Das ist die Wettbewerb.
03:21:43 This is what they were worried about. Horizon watching their backs, making sure they were paying attention and making sure this zone ramp was something that they weren't going to be able to be caught out, caught off guard by. V2 now taking the height and V2 might get that first knock, but still, V2 not able to get any knock whatsoever in fights. I mean, Joke's got 475 damage already, but still has no KB alongside it.
Taktische Spielzüge und Matchpoint-Erreichung
03:22:05
03:22:05 Ja, und jederzeit sie in diesen Kampf und dann wiederholfen, sie benutzen sie, sie benutzen sie, sie benutzen sie, sie benutzen sie, und sie brauchen sie etwas zu gewinnen, wenn sie in die Zeit gewinnen wollen. Also das ist das, warum sie auf den Momenten sind, sie sind nicht in diesen Kampf zu gewinnen, sie haben nicht genug gemacht, als Horizon Union sind in dieser Tunnel, und jetzt werden sie ihre Rotation aus und um, und sie werden wahrscheinlich gegen Lesique de France, die vorhin schon gegen V2 waren, so es ist ein Ring-Around-The-Rosies an der Moment.
03:22:34 und eine auf die Position des Perilöser von der anderen.
03:22:40 Ja, ich denke, es wird Blue-White sein, die in der Nähe zu machen. Ja, es wird nur ein Mitglied von Blue-White sein.
03:23:10 So they're going to be able to loop back up, get those shield swaps and still comfortably be on the northern side of this zone. But that circle is very much arriving behind them here. So they're going to have to make a move very quickly. And it's not just blue-whites they've got to get through. There are about five teams that are going to be on that northern side. So yes, they can fly in with an evac tower if they want to, but it's not going to be pretty either way.
03:23:29 Ja, Blu-Whites war...
03:23:58 ...were werden sie von wo sie werden. Und sie haben sich für den Ambush geöffnet und jetzt müssen sie sich für den Ambush haben. Und wenn eine weitere Team ist, wird es genug für Outplayed werden. Und da sind wir. Horizon Union aus. Das heißt, Outplayed sind jetzt 50 Punkte. Sie haben die Matchpoint-Threshold erreicht. Und sie werden die Chance gewinnen die LCQ in der nächsten Spiel.
03:24:19 No, we need to loot. I need Papo Texel, chill. I have no cells.
03:24:47 Ja, wir können. Ja, wir können. Ja, wir können. Ich glaube, wir haben ihn. Ich glaube, wir haben ihn. Ich habe ihn.
03:25:14 Ich bringe, ich komme zu uns, ich bringe ein paar Heils, ich bringe ein paar Heils. Wir sind gut, wir sind gut. Wir müssen uns auf die Rotation machen. Wir müssen uns für die Kills spielen. Wir müssen uns für die Kills spielen. Wir müssen die Kills spielen. Wir müssen die Kills spielen. Wir müssen die Kills spielen. Wir müssen die Kills spielen. Wir müssen die Kills spielen. Wir müssen die Kills spielen. Wir müssen die Kills spielen. Wir müssen die Kills spielen.
03:25:32 We need to go under tree somehow, can we go from right side to truck maybe?
03:26:01 I'm going left. I'm going left. I'm going left. Nobody in half. No. On the opposite side of house. Other side of house. I'm holding. I'm going. Just come, come, come. Just walk up this. I think we walk up this. I think we walk up this. Hey, open it. Open it. One of us. One of us. One of us. One of us. Crack one. Crack one. Crack one. Seriously. Seriously. Just walk up. Walk up. Walk up with me. Walk up with me. I saw the ball. I know. Not on top. Come to me. Just come to me. I'm on Legan. I'm on Legan. I'm on Legan. I'm on Legan. I'm on Legan. I'm on Legan. I'm on Legan. I'm on Legan. I'm on Legan. I'm on Legan. I'm on Legan. I'm on Legan. I'm on Legan. I
03:26:29 Ja, auf mich, auf mich, auf mich!
03:26:42 Ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke, ich denke.
03:27:08 Ich habe keinen Batteries, ich habe keinen Batteries. 15 Sekunden für Q. After I get Q, we fucking swing this.
03:27:35 Ich werde aufwarten, ich werde aufwarten, ich werde aufwarten. Ich werde aufwarten, ich werde aufwarten. Ich werde aufwarten, ich werde aufwarten. Ich werde aufwarten, ich werde aufwarten. Ich werde aufwarten, ich werde aufwarten. Ich werde aufwarten, ich werde aufwarten. Ich werde aufwarten, ich werde aufwarten. Ich werde aufwarten, ich werde aufwarten. Ich werde aufwarten, ich werde aufwarten. Ich werde aufwarten, ich werde aufwarten. Ich werde aufwarten, ich werde aufwarten. Ich werde aufwarten, ich werde aufwarten.
03:28:00 A lot of frantic calls, but Blue-White survived, and they're trying to move in here. Nine squads remaining. We've seen a couple of teams fall who are in that race for Match Point. The question is, would they have done enough? Yeah, Maestro eliminated. They did not get Match Point. Vexed eliminated. They did not get Match Point. So our eyes now turn to Aurora, who are two points away. And remember...
03:28:17 Blue-Whites with a victory here could do enough to get onto Match Point as well, but Aurora down to just one. So Ranchers, if he can get into the top five, it would be enough to get onto Match Point. And Tropic are also six points away, so still a few squads who might be able to get onto MP after this game, but it's certainly going to be difficult for some who have lost members already. I mean, a chance here for Aurora. They were center zone. Yes, it's a solo, but you would imagine a couple of teams are going to have to engage.
03:28:43 Oh. Oh.
03:29:02 Wish I'd gone for two teams now, rather than going one more than you said, of three. But we still might get there, who knows? Etropic and Blue-Whites still with a chance to get onto Match Point. For those below, Voltage, TT, Vortex, Foot, they wouldn't get onto Match Point, but of course they could deny a lot of teams from getting there themselves and just get closer on that total. Because if we only see two teams on Match Point going into match number seven, the likelihood of one of them winning, of course, is a lot lower, unless we have more than four. But Foot are in a position where they can hold
03:29:32 Vor-Tex haben die Mitte, und auf der Bühne wird ein vieles Ruckus, als all diese Teams starten zu kommen. Ich glaube, die Bühne werden die toughesten Rotate hier sehen. Sie sehen, sie sind auf der anderen Seite der Zone. Sie werden vielleicht beherrennt, und ihre Beine sind klar, so wenn sie zu diesem großen Ruck in fronten sind, dass sie französisch pinged sind.
03:29:53 Und cut off line of sight by swinging right and maybe trying to just disguise themselves behind that dark veil. They might have a chance here to steal not only this game away, but a chance at match point as well. So really, really interesting moments for the team who has dominated the challenger circuit.
03:30:12 Ja, Blue-Whites have eyes on them. Everyone seems to have eyes on them. On that west side, Entropic are getting absolutely demolished by Grenades, Ultimates and Bullets as now the Zone starts to force all these squads together. Whether you've got room in a building, on top of a building or under a building, you need to at least cut off some of those sightlines so you are not being
03:30:41 Wir werden noch einen Entropik aussehen, und Blue-Whites starten zu pushen. Wir sind sicher, für jetzt. Wir werden jetzt nur singen, aber nicht burnen.
03:30:51 I'm not even sure he knows where he is right now, but he is surviving. That's what's important. Foot go down. They're into the top five are Blue-Whites. Voltage.
03:31:20 und jetzt die Portal zu gehen in und aus diesem Gebäude zu versuchen, als wir jetzt T.T. auch sehen, T.T. gehen. Die Team ist still alive, es ist Blue-Whites, by the way. Entropic, sie sind hier auch. Vortex, sie werden in der Meantime beeliminatet werden. Entropic, sie werden hier mit dem Spielplatz spielen. Die Team, die so großartig sind, in der Split-Two-Pläufe, hat die Grand Finals geschlossen. Blue-Whites sind in den Top 3, aber Entropic ist in den Top 3, aber Entropic ist in den Top 3.
Matchpoint erreicht und Strategieanpassungen
03:31:49
03:31:49 They are your champions here in game number 6. And most importantly, we'll hit Match Point. It's exciting to see, finally, after 6, Match Point is hit. We didn't have to worry about our new rules today. We did not come close to finishing before this threshold. So now we get close to our time that we usually spend in Match Point, which is wondering when is it going to end? We now have one team on.
03:32:14 Dan, es ist in Tropic. Was das was du erwähnt? Ist das die Team? Ich meine, wir haben sie erwähnt. Ich weiß, es war Mark. Aber du hast du das Team, nach 5, zu sein?
03:32:23 Well, technically they were the third to make it. We had Gonex and Outplayed who got there, but getting a victory was certainly impressive for them because not only did they get match point, but they get up to go at first as well. It was the points totals they achieved there to make it very dangerous going into this match number seven, because even if they don't win match point, they're going to be one of those teams who are there or thereabouts that might be able to sneak that second spot.
03:32:45 They were a team who the split two playoffs looked like a dominant side. They just weren't able to really get rolling. So it's good to see them finally get into a position now where they can try and right those wrongs and get into champs. Yeah, Mark, blue-whites, I mean, doing a lot. They obviously aren't on the threshold yet, but they were close and a bit of a heroic play there just to survive and get to, I think, what is within two points of crossing that 50-point threshold. Diaz certainly was right that we needed to be paying attention to them today.
03:33:12 Ja, es ist sicherlich Proven-White als auch. Sie sind gut, gut rotativen, obwohl sie ein bisschen riskiert sind. Sie können sehen, dass die Play Callen für die Listener war. Es war eine gute Zeit für die Listener als auch, weil sie nicht gedacht haben, dass sie eine Priorität zu haben, in der Endgame waren. Sie waren einfach für Kills. Sie haben die Callen gesagt, wir haben eine Darkveil hier, wir werden versuchen, diese Fight nicht zu tun. Aber dann wurde sie in die Zone gegangen.
03:33:31 They were a little bit lucky to pick up a few free KP on their way forward as teams were kind of scrapping in front of them. But to get into the endgame is one thing, right? To survive and get a few more placement points just by avoiding the damage that's going down and avoiding the fights puts them in a really good position here. If someone doesn't get it done in this next game, then you would imagine Blue Whites will be one of those teams on Matchpoint as well. Absolutely. Anything can happen, but let's take a look at what did happen in the final zone of that last fight.
03:33:55 kind of walk us through this dan just in tropic they have a better spot but they definitely do utilize the chaos to their advantage yeah they were
03:34:04 Definitely struggling at points, and I think any team would in a final circle like this, where there was just so much action going down, but the fact they were able to find this position in the crates was huge for them, because I spoke about cutting off those sightlines, restricting the view for so many other teams, that you're not being focused by several other squads, and by doing so, they were able to then push out, and just as a two, they had a position where they could then kind of finish off a lot of the damage that had been done by the other squads, and we saw what happened with the final blue-white squad.
03:34:33 Und dann haben wir das Rez auf Tayaka gewonnen. Aber dann sind sie einfach weggekommen. Und ich dachte, das wäre es. Ich dachte, Entropik würde nicht gewinnen als ein 2. Aber dann habe ich gesehen, wie weak alle anderen Quads waren. Und von diesem Punkt, die High Ground war alles für sie.
03:35:03 von oben. Ein unglaublicher Glückwunsch, obwohl es nur zwei waren, aber sogar mehr so die Punkte totale sie hatten. 18 Punkte in total, gett sich um 58 Punkte und werden die overall Standings belegen. Teams wie Gonext, wie du schon erwähnt, haben einen Weg zu dieser Matchpoint als auch. Wir werden sie ein bisschen mehr darüber reden, aber 2 Voltage und natürlich Vortex CGL.
03:35:25 Bouncing forward with momentum as Blue-Whites obviously steal the show with 17 points coming in third. Maestro and Aurora also talking points there. As we go to our back half of our 20, I think the big thing that we need to look at, of course, is can these teams like Danish, can these teams like Horizon Union, Vex, keep up pace? That to me is obviously...
03:35:50 ...teams that have performed really, really well. But it's been maybe too many times in a row where we've seen a 3-point, a 4-point, a 5-point. And Mark, we're close to ending this thing. So we're running out of time. And I think that's kind of what the lobby is going to shift into. It is a do or die, so to speak, in this moment now that we're on Matchpoint. Yeah, it certainly is. Matchpoint's active and not just for one team as well. Sometimes it's easy to spot out that one team, right? You know the skins, a lot of the lobby's going to be looking for it. But when there's three or four, you can't...
03:36:15 Fokus those teams so easily because there's different teams shooting at you trying to get on a match point there's different teams we're thinking about points for qualification for champs as well so I don't think we're gonna see teams trying to focus those match point teams I don't think you can afford to at this point so it just opens the lobby up once again and you feel like if you're one of the teams right now who is on match point this is the one game you need to get it done we swap maps again we go over to storm point which again completely changes the dynamic but I feel like
03:36:43 If you are one of the few right now, it's as good a chance as any. It's almost a better chance than if you're the only team. So you've got to get it done now. I feel like the more busy it comes, the more tough it comes to predict. Entropic go next in ANC Outplay. They are on match point. Aurora so close yet so far. Maestro of Blue Whites joined them in being just a few points away. And Vex Gaming starting out with an extra 10 points.
03:37:09 Still not on Matchpoint by 5. What does this say? Is it something to pay attention to? Is this kind of the Vex story, Dan?
03:37:17 Ich denke, sie haben definitiv noch Probleme gehabt. Ich denke, sie sollten sich nicht auf die Panik-Button haben, denn sie sind sehr nahe, und historisch ist es sehr rare, dass wir ein Team auf den Matchpoint gewinnen und gewinnen, wenn wir nach Dark Zero sehen und was Dark Zero haben können. Aber es ist, dass es meistens ein paar Teams ein paar Spiels zu bekommen, dann noch eine Victory auf dem Board zu bekommen. Also, als Vex kann auf die Matchpoint gewinnen, und wer weiß, vielleicht können sie auf ihren eigenen Backen gewinnen und gewinnen, als auch, und stoppen jemanden von gewinnen auf die Matchpoint. Ich denke,
03:37:46 Ich glaube, es ist wichtig für Vex ist, dass wir in Stormpoint haben, und sie haben viel besser gemacht. Vex jetzt haben wir jetzt eine große Punkte-Totals-Games. Vex jetzt haben wir jetzt nicht nur auf die Matchpoint, sondern wir müssen uns einen Mammoth-Games haben, damit wir uns in eine Frage des Top-2 zu stellen, und nicht auf die ganze Zeit gewinnen. Ich meine, das ist die Punkt hier. Entropik, GoNext, ANC Outplay, ich meine, sie sind performant. Und wenn du zwei Team dahin, Aurora, Blue-White-Meister, sie haben Momentum.
03:38:15 Realistically, only taken 35 points. But again, Aurora had 9 points as well. So you can't just isolate these teams for that. But definitely, it is go time. And maybe that means we need to focus on this team who has given us a great go time. It's go next as well. I know that we've been watching them. You guys have been casting them as well. They're on match point. Is this an expected performance? Talk to me about what you're seeing with go next, Mark. Because obviously, this team is performing extremely well.
03:38:42 Yeah, they are. I mean, they've hit Match Point. That's objective one for anyone here. And they were another team at the Split 2 Playoffs who just missed out on that Grand Finals lobby. But, you know, just missing out hurts. And the last thing you want to do is just miss out and then find yourself just missing out again by not being at the Apex Legends Global Series Championships. I keep reiterating how important it is for these players. This is a year's worth of work. And to not be at...
03:39:09 Biggest event of the year, the grandest stage of them all, if you like, for Apex Legends. And come so close is something that you don't forget about. It's certainly something that teams are going to go through today, but you don't want to beat that team. If we go next, they now have a chance to solidify themselves. They've done enough so far to hit match point, and they're one of the first to get there. Now they need to go forward and win a game, and they've already shown that they can do that today. Dan, big change. DCT ZDAR, after split two playoffs, leaves the roster. They bring in Micey.
03:39:36 Ich meine, das muss man sich die Hoffnung, dass sie sofort so gut sind. Ja, ich denke, wenn man einen neuen Spieler macht, wird es immer eine große Frage stellen, ob es sich in einer negativen Art ist, ob es ein super-submoment ist, wo jeder einfach das Injection von Energie und Beliefer wiederkommt. Und das, dass sie das Spiel spielen wollen, dass sie die besten sind, dass sie zu den Championships sind. Und ich denke, das ist hier ein Case für Go-Next. Und jetzt, als wir jetzt in Match Point kommen,
03:40:02 I'm looking at how many victories they've had so far this weekend. They've only had one at the moment throughout the previous winners bracket and elimination bracket or wherever it was winners bracket they came from. So they haven't had too many wins, which is leaving me to think, are they going to be one of these squads that can just pluck out of nowhere? Or is it going to be one of the teams who has had a bit more consistency with their victories? Now we get into match point. I mean, it definitely has to be feeling well. I'm going to bring in Vicky, who is the only person not in our box right now. And now I decided to go to a new four box.
03:40:30 It's our online green room, guys. You know, we can't have as much Monster Energy here online as we do in the green room in reality. But Vicky, what are you seeing? Obviously, you're going to cast this next game, but just thoughts after we hit six and now going on into the next phase of Match Point.
03:40:44 My thoughts are that there's about five teams that if one of these squads that have already hit match point don't secure a win in this next game, it is going to get extremely hard like Mark had already highlighted before. It's looking like it's going to be difficult with the way a lot of these other squads are now slowing things down to play more so patiently, either to be by the edge that we have seen from the Vex playstyle or more so bunker down for that final circle. But, you know, it's a good time to be able to see some of these teams.
03:41:14 Ich glaube, es war nicht wirklich Entropik, ich würde sagen.
03:41:38 Entropic in that final zone, climbing up the mountains like mountain goats to maybe take away and get that W. But unfortunately, they waited one more game to me, and I'll pass to Dan here. I mean, that's two games in a row where Entropic look like actual contenders if things all go well. It's just a matter of, can it go well again?
03:41:57 Well, they've had two victories so far throughout the weekend. Before today, if you add the one they've just got now, Matchpoint looks like it could be theirs. They have the opportunity. I think they are the more likely team to achieve it out of the ones that are on Matchpoint right now. They have the experience. They've got split two playoffs under their belt.
03:42:13 I wouldn't be surprised if Entropic do take it here in 7. Even though stats maybe don't go that way, we'll have to see what's gonna happen as match number 7 is upon us. Everyone is in the dropship. Vicky, I can't wait for this one. It could be the one. We got three teams on Matchpoint. I'm excited. I can't wait to see how this plays out. And we're making the swap over to Stormpoint where we got to see the action start off here.
Strategische Veränderungen und Matchpoint-Dynamiken
03:42:38
03:42:38 for Maestro to take that win when they landed in Command Center originally. They had won that Game 3 with 6 KP. Didn't like the look that we saw on World's Edge in all honesty there. That was definitely a game-winning spot that they had fumbled the bag on. Then in Game 4, we also got to see outplayed, literally outplaying Horizon Union at the very end.
03:42:58 Going over to Stormpoint, we have been seeing a lot of these different squads win each and every single one of these games. Now seeing if we could get a repetition here because it's just been different with such close skill level across this lobby. And we're already choosing Violets out here. Vortex looking like they're already in trouble.
03:43:14 Hold on, what's happening here? Everyone was being nice to each other the last time we were over on Stormpoint, but now Outplayed, they're in a little bit of a spot of bother. Remember, they're one of our Matchpoint teams. Are we starting to see a little bit of griefing coming into the equation here as teams start to try and rob them of having the chance to win this game? Certainly Vortex were able to get the better of at least one of those members, but it looks like Vortex are now retreating and will start to loot in Jurassic Park. As Outplayed are just going to have to try and get this banner back.
03:43:42 And that is a real shame to start their chances of winning this one. Well, you already know why this happened out here too, with Outplayed now playing at a disadvantage here. It's because Outplayed currently sits with 54 points. So sometimes these things do happen here, but the antenna now, they're going to be able to rotate away with Vortex just tucking tail and running. It's unfortunate, but it's more like Hasta La Vista to Shek says they are going to be able to just loot around the rest of this area and pick up his banner.
03:44:10 I was just looking as well at, you know, all the teams that were on Matchpoint and how successful they've been on Stormpoint so far throughout the LCQ. Entropic and GoNext have yet to find a victory on Stormpoint so far this weekend. So World's Edge would be better for them. So maybe that is really good news for the rest of the lobby. Outplayed, who came from the elimination bracket, remember, they didn't even come through winner's bracket. It would be outrageous if we saw Outplayed be the champions of the LCQ after such a miraculous run.
03:44:39 durch die Elimination Brackett. Aber es ist ein schwerer Start für sie, zu einem 1-1. Und die Circle könnte es sogar ein schwerer Match für sie. Ich würde sagen, Entropik und Go-Next sind beide in ein guter Platz mit der Circle. Eine auf die East und eine auf die West.
03:44:55 Fortix really grieved Outplayed just to immediately dip and then try to enable Aurora. The team was currently with 48 points to maybe sneak in and take one from OP, but they're quick with it. You saw the pings originally before they made this quick rotate, noting already Aurora has made the rotation from Shipfall, so they do want to try to prioritize this rotation as we can see right here, pulling all the way over to the west side like you had mentioned before. This is going to mean that Outplayed is going to inevitably reach out and meet up with Vex Gaming when they do.
03:45:24 Maybe Aurora can hit the beacon and get at least information of where teams are if it's not the ring console. And that might give them a rough idea of where we're heading. It could be, if they hit it right now, then it might give them a bit of false information with all the teams kind of heading very far.
03:45:54 ... ... ... ...
03:46:19 Highlighting those teams actually playing outside of the circle right now. One of them, like we mentioned, is Aurora. Vex Gaming being one of the teams that are sitting at 45 points here. OP already at match points. So playing much more patiently by the edge here too. Wondering how they're going to take this rotation. While more of these teams are going to be able to use the Crafter. And what have we here? Alright, G-Dolphin woke up and chose Violence right now. He's looking to get some roadkill here. Clean that up on the dashboard.
03:46:47 I mean, this is what you have when you see the Demon Ramport enter your lobby, and it's gonna be G. Dolphin on the other side of that Sheila.
03:46:54 And if Vext are able to get onto Match Point and we do go to Match Number 8, they are statistically the most likely team to win the entire thing based off of victories so far in the LCQ. They've had four throughout the previous Winners Bracken matches and they should be in a position to confidently go into any sort of Match Point game and say, look, we know we're good enough to win, especially if it's on Storm Point, which of course they would have the chance to do so when we do get into Match 8, if we get into Match 8. So at the moment it's a...
03:47:23 Ich glaube, es geht darum, es geht darum, es geht zu 50 und dann vielleicht eine Victory hier zu den Nye all die anderen Quads. Aber sie werden bald rotatieren. Sie werden in der Zone kommen in ein schwieriges Spot. Und in der Moment sind sie nur ein bisschen nach diesem Geburt zu sehen, ob jemand ist da. Aber ich glaube, niemand ist in dieser Geburt, also sie sind gut.
03:47:44 Can't be too safe here. Just double checking right now. Max Gaming don't have the information that the Seer provides. So as they are going to be able to approach this building, you can see nobody else is within that area.
03:47:55 Outplayed had already rotated preemptively up north, close to the south side of Cascade Falls. Maybe looking to see if they could capitalize off of a Survey Beacon that is there to let them know where the other remaining squads are, if they're playing slow outside the circle. Maybe they could either try to play safely around that, maybe even gatekeep them if they're away from other teams that could third party. So many of these other teams, though, are slowing down. And again, it is to note, because we are playing that match point format, once most of these teams have reached that match point, they are going to be playing much more.
03:48:24 Oh, all right. Tosses your piercing spikes right into your own Watson's pylons. It's all good here and right next to the Jenny that's gonna eat that up.
03:48:33 Talking about what the stats are looking like for the Legends, though, there has been a pretty big shift. The only Rampart in this Lobby is G-Dolphin. We have five Valkyries, five Watsons, which does highlight more of that bunker-down style, alongside 12 Catalysts, 10 Horizons, 13 Bangalores, and 14 Sears being the highest pick so far in this Lobby. It has been a significant shift away from the last few games that we've been seeing, both from Storm Point previously and World's Edge.
03:49:01 Ja, die Leute sind jetzt ein bisschen nervig, vielleicht wieder zu einer mehr familiaren Komposition, nicht zu viel riskieren, und... ...almost adaptieren zu was die restlichen Lobby ist. Wenn man sich eine bestimmte Menge von Legends sieht, dann...
03:49:12 Das war's für mich, aber es war's für mich.
03:49:42 We'll find out that we're going to be heading just slightly northeast of where the mill area is where currently about six squads reside.
03:49:52 Let us explode. It's going to be tricky to try to play around this here because there's already three squads holding the choke point that Lucita Fonz would like to rotate through that checkpoint high ground area that is provided over the buildings of where this circle is going to be pulling. I wonder if they're just going to opt to wrap around instead, maybe go through the down D side of that choke. Outplayed now, looking to continue on their legacy.
03:50:15 Ja, TT, unfortunately, losing 1. They're in 14th in the moment. Need 23 points to get to match points. So their chances of championships are slowly slipping through their fingers, but maybe they probably feel like it's never really been within their grasp because they've been always in the behind pack, chasing everyone else who has been at the forefront of it.
03:50:42 And something you mentioned earlier about teams, you know, maybe playing a little less risky because they're going to be on match point a little bit more conservative at times. It's a really strange dynamic here with the LCQ because second place still gets a spot. So, yeah, you want to play for the win. Yeah, you want to play safe and you want to get on to match point and try and then win on match point. But also a big points total could be massive for you. There is teams who certainly.
03:51:07 Wenn sie agressivieren können, und vielleicht werden sie gewählt, wenn sie mit der Möglichkeit sind. Es ist eine wirklich schwierige Entscheidung zu machen, sogar die Zone ist der beste Weg zu spielen. Du hast Natski gesagt in der Interview gesagt, dass die Meta in der Moment ist, dass sie in der Zone getrennt, und dann in ein Spot, wo du in der Late-Game kann. Wenn du in die Lage bist, wenn du in die Lage bist, kannst du in die Lage bist, aber du bist nicht möglich zu bekommen. So, instead, du musst dir denken, wie viel KP du kannst.
03:51:36 Das ist ein sehr guter Punkt, besonders über die Overall Lobby ist, bis zum Top 10 zuvor. All diese Teens kämpfen für den 2nd Platz Platz, damit sie die Möglichkeit haben, die Chance zu spielen für Land 4, die Big Champs, die Biggest Event zu passieren in der Jahr für Apex Legends E-Sport.
Entscheidende Kämpfe und Matchpoint-Konstellationen
03:51:55
03:51:55 Threading the needle.
03:52:21 Das ist Blue-White, nur drei Punkte entfernt. So eine 3-V-3-V-3-V-3-V-3-V-3-V-3-V-3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-V3-
03:52:40 This just may cause V2's demise here too, though. They knew that there was another squad on the other side. Vortex getting involved here, while Blue-White still has the safety inside of this building. Look at the way that Vortex is playing this. They're looking on the outside. They want to play passive-aggressive, but they don't want to overextend.
03:52:57 Still looking at the overall lobby here as Blue-White now have to work together as a duo. They're still going to be able to reset here for now. And be careful with those windows sometimes on that uphill side. You still have the opportunity to see the teams playing on the inside. Don't want to get the res going on here. They want to prevent this from happening. Tosses out the arc story. Got the grenade to just in case. V2 get taken out at the hands of Blue-White here after they really want to try to engage initially. That could have been...
03:53:23 So much KP for Blue-Whites, had they got those initial knocks, but of course it was Vortex who were able to put the knocks on the board initially. So Blue-Whites at least add one and get themselves two points away from MP. They do have the banner, but there could always be the chance to get your third back on his feet. And for Blue-Whites, I mean...
03:53:44 They're so close here, Vicky. It would be so frustrating if they were to find themselves eliminated before they touch that 50-point threshold. But they'll have to wait for now and hope that that zone forces a few teams together. 19 squads remain. It's been a slow burner, this one, and for good reason, because there's a lot of squads who are closing in on match point. It's crazy to say that blue-white's at 48 points that we just saw right now. Aurora as well. Maestra at 47 here, too. Oh, opportunity here. Vortex.
03:54:11 They saw that Moby get called in and say, please, that one extra point. We're basically camels at the watering hole right now. We were down for anything as they're going to be able to try to find the opportunity to find this duo inside this building. Open up. Here comes Vortex. They find one. There's one more left. Perhaps...
03:54:31 Looks like it's gonna be the end for Blue-Whites. A desperate attempt to try and dip, dodge and dive around the Dark Veil, but still alive at the moment, but it's looking like...
03:54:51 The end is near, and it would be the chance for Blue-Whites to get on to Matchpoint, disappearing in front of their very eyes. They're still up at the moment, though, so still a small percentage chance of them getting there, especially as Foot Esports now could be a distraction, perhaps, as they start to push in on Vortex. How is Adonim so alive? I'm actually appalled that he got away after even the third party coming in, literally schmoving around the third party foot now.
03:55:16 Trying to take advantage, finally gets the last one. Blue-White's out of this lobby at 48 points, and now Foot may be paying for it.
03:55:24 An interesting decision by Furt, for sure. Nice from Amphi, though, to get a little bit of work done, a lot of damage done, but Vortex should win this engagement, and will... I'll tell you what, there's still a chance, but with a Digi threat, surely this should be Vortex winning it. Is there another team in the area to maybe third this one? No, it looks like it's an isolated fight right now, so it's a 1v1. There is going to be a res just tapped, but Amphi's still alive and still with a chance to win this, which would be unreal. It was a 1v2, Vicky.
03:55:54 Oh, nice, Thermite placement right there around the corner. Taylor is so low, gets the shields up. Oh no, the shield's empty. Is there another one? I feel like half of these are already empty. They are. They've already been swapped so many times. Amphi just healing this out right behind Knockdown, trying to listen out in case they try to go for a flank. Here comes the ping, the information to smoke them out. I mean, having the Digi and having the smokes, and now with a chance to tap, see if you can bait out. Ear to the ground. What else is happening? Are they going to be rezzing above me?
03:56:22 And of course, now the zone is also a factor to play in this 1v1 as Amphi has done absolutely everything. A couple of nodescopes and vortexes elsewhere. Aurora are closing in on match point and they're in a fight as well. Surprise Foot is still alive with the circle closing in. Aurora too as well. 48 points. Two points away. These squads that are so close desperately need this. Kaleev with no health decided to pop the shield back right behind them. Meanwhile, look at how played. Wrapping around the other side. It's only up to Andy Jax. Aurora have no shields.
03:56:52 Okay, got the knockdown, goes for the swipe, going long, outplayed, get taken out. One of our teams sitting at match point out of this lobby. Aurora's still in, taking control over that fight and have now allowed themselves to sit at match point after that.
03:57:05 Yep, Aurora, job done. They're eliminated, but they are on Matchpoint. Entropic, though, they're going to be eliminated as well. So now it's just go next. The only team on Matchpoint who are still alive. And Match 8 is looking increasingly likely as we get further into this zone. Because Entropic, they were on this western side, but they have just been able to worm their way in a little bit more central. As for UAE, they're on 25 points at the moment. Danish, only 5 points off of Matchpoint as well. We could be on...
03:57:34 Five teams going into match number eight at this rate.
03:57:38 Actually insane right now, how close this lobby is in general. Continue on even in this game 7. Vex meeting up at this choke. Look at how many teams are in this area. The Vex have been holding the southern side of the circle for a while. By the way, Foot's still alive as a solo. I don't think they're going to be able to get around this circle. It does too much damage. G-Dolphin right behind the ant barrier though as GoNex forced inside of these buildings. Let's jump into a listen in with GoNex and see how they play off this slow ground for the next circle.
03:58:07 Ich bin auf dem Rooft. Ich bin auf der Rooft. Ich bin auf der Rooft. Ich bin auf der Rooft auf der Rooft. Es ist ein guter Angle zu halten, denn niemand wird dich von hinten schießen. Wir sind in der Haus und dann können wir hier spielen. Oder gehen wir hier. Oder gehen wir hier.
03:58:35 Ich habe einen, ich bin nicht mehr als einen. Ich habe einen. Ich habe einen. Ich habe einen. Ich habe einen. Ich habe einen.
03:59:05 Ich werde nicht geholfen. Ich werde nicht geholfen. Ich werde nicht geholfen. Ich werde nicht geholfen.
03:59:15 Sie sind unter uns. Sie sind unter uns. Sie sind unter uns.
03:59:43 Ich habe keine Betten. Ich stehe, ich stehe, ich stehe, ich stehe, ich stehe. Wir müssen uns, wir müssen uns, wir müssen uns. Wir können nicht, wir können nicht. Wir können nicht, wir können nicht. Wir können nicht, wir können nicht. Wir können nicht, wir können nicht, wir können nicht. Wir können nicht, wir können nicht, wir können nicht, wir können nicht.
04:00:07 Ich schaue ihn an. Ich schaue ihn an. Ich schaue ihn an. Ich schaue ihn an. Ich schaue ihn an.
04:00:38 Okay, I can ball if you can hit. The boxes on top above us are playable too. I can't see that. I'm watching next. Watch the light, watch the light Bumpy. I need to go loot, I need to pick up something. Go next with the comms, being in match point, looking for the dub on top of it with the very aggressive and demanding comms.
04:00:55 By the way, Amphi has been definitely taking notes over the course of the ranked season, and he has become a professional rat king on the other side. Cannot believe that GoNex with a Seer has not seen this solo behind them. The man has slowed his heart rate down to an unfindable... No, he's been spotted now! Oh no!
04:01:13 Das ist Dich zu versuchen, zu versuchen, zu versuchen, zu versuchen, zu gewinnen, und zu gewinnen, die LCQ zu gewinnen. In der meantime, Vexed hat die Match Point erreicht, und wir haben jetzt fünf Quads, die auf die nächste Spiel werden. Lesique de France sind ein Punkt entfernt von Match Point als auch, zu senden uns zu sechs. Als ich gesagt habe, Foot geteilt, Lesique de France findet sich auf Match Point, und wir haben jetzt sechs, die jetzt sind für Match No. 8, aber wir haben jetzt sechs, die sind da für Match No. 8.
04:01:39 Still with a chance to win this LCQ and send themselves and book a ticket to the World Championships.
04:01:46 Playing off this low ground is going to be so hard here though, especially with these Watson fences already lined up. It's Danish and Bavis with the Kraber in hand. He gets fried just a bit here as to dance around. Oh no, you put yourself out in the open even with the smoke nade. Unfortunate, especially in this position. That doesn't cancel Reza thankfully here, but Danish have to watch out. Here comes the ape. This is the opportunity for go next, but they're going to get third partied.
04:02:15 Amazing from Gonex to eliminate Danish, because it means Danish didn't get on to match point either. They're still on 48, but now the nades coming in to grief Gonex. Are they going to get a chance to reset? They should be able to, as we have five squads remaining. Gonex still have the opportunity to win this one. Oh, they're doing the cha-cha slide.
04:02:35 Dancing around those nades right there by the Catwall. That was nicely placed too, Dan, because they're blocking out the view from two teams inside of the building that has them in their line of sight. Not to the north of them, but over to the side. It's Phoenix Legacy and Adept Club, as Vultage and Lasita France are still playing off that northern building, as you can see right here. But Go Next, playing off these rocks means that these teams will be funneled outside into their line of sight and allow Go Next to try to take advantage of the position that they're in.
04:03:01 So a victory for Voltage could still put them on Matchpoint. Phoenix Legacy and Adept Club are too far away to get onto Matchpoint, but of course can still send us to Match 8 if they are able to deny Go Next. But it's La Cite de France who find themselves now on Matchpoint for the next game, and with a chance to try and play Spoiler as well to Go Next. So it's all against Go Next right now, and it really depends as a team whether you're focusing on that killfeed. Do you have someone whose job is to really keep note of which teams have been eliminated, which teams are still in the game?
04:03:31 If so, there should be squads that know Gonext is still alive, and there is a potential that it could end here and now, as Gonext are starting to force their way in. If they've got the ability to try and get to this rock, they might be able to survive. It's a truck, excuse me, that looks like a rock because it's got lots of greenery on it, lots of shrubbery, and they have just been able to work their way into the central side of this circle ever so slightly.
04:03:53 The Overgrow has grown right in front of them, too. Not just beyond the truck, but also this open space that they're going to be forced to traverse. They are on the worst side of the circle right now, too. Just waiting for Deer Life, Double Artstar, and the Seertag. Oh, no! Go next!
04:04:09 We have six teams on Matchpoint going into match number eight. Can Voltage be team number seven? They need to get six more points. Still very achievable. And they're in a good position to do so. They're just trying to worm their way out of this building using any utility they have just to keep teams away. Dark Veils go down now. Watson Fences and Jens available to them as well.
04:04:37 Catwall for Catwall. Dancing around both sides. Voltage now, getting taken out. Meanwhile, Libre says, this is none of my business. Focus on the fight in front of you. I'm just the fly on the wall that you don't want to deal with. Phoenix Legacy go out in for three squads left right now. Lasitrafons are going to be able to take game number seven after putting themselves at match point.
04:05:00 Wow, Lecide de France find themselves on 63 points, 2nd to go next. But of course, no one won on Matchpoint, so it means we will have a Match 8. And Voltage came so close, Vicky, but they're on 49 points. They were one-off being our 7th team on Matchpoint. So we have 6 squads now on MP going into Match Number 8. Surely you'd think it's going to be finished here in Match Number 8, but with how kind of back and forth it's been with all these teams, you never really know.
04:05:28 It's crazy to see how close it is in this lobby. I keep emphasizing this because currently Voltage, like we saw right now, was 1.0 away. Blue-Whites, 2.0 away. They're tied up with Danish that are also 2.0 away. It's crazy. Even Maestro Gaming, Ring Day come back at the end of that action. I want to hear your thoughts because GoNex were right there, but they were only going right next to the Arxars that were being hurtled in their direction, unfortunately, not being able to really overcome all the damage that was...
04:05:58 Just getting put right in front of them. It was a tough situation to be in also being on the worst side of the circle. You know, I have a big, I guess for me, a big joy.
04:06:11 und die approach they had going into that final. Because this is an opportunity for a team to kind of step up to a difficult situation and do something that gives them confidence and they can take into these next games. It's also an opportunity for some teams to get shy and to feel like, well, maybe
04:06:30 Vielleicht sollten wir nicht machen, was wir normalerweise machen. Wir sind auf Matchpoint. Wir sind auf Matchpoint. Wir sind auf Matchpoint. Wir sind auf Matchpoint. Wir sind auf Matchpoint.
04:06:59 I think if you're a GoNex fan, be happy about how they perform. But also Lesita Front, shout out to them for picking the pieces up in that final game and forcing yet another one. We go again, as Apex loves to say, when we get to our final, our match point finals. But let's look at this final circle. Vicky, you cast it, but walk us through some of the more minute details you saw as to why it didn't work out for GoNex and what worked out for Lesita Front. They were hit with a barrage of nades. If it wasn't the hard starts, the thermites were
04:07:28 Oh my gosh, that was an overkill. You saw the black hole just coming out of nowhere after they already got the kill. Came out of left field. Everybody knew right there that go next playing the way that they did was definitely a threat that was playing for that dub. So now at this point, once that team was wiped off, it was about sharing this building between four of these teams. Phoenix Legacy was the next to go out right here, making an X that marks a spot that at the very end, the next cat wall just blocks off all the vision.
04:07:58 from one building to the next. Even Sanka Lira, who just goes over to the sky, tries to avoid a lot of the carnage happening from down below. But Lasita France had the health advantage. They also had a really nice rotation outside of the armory close to north pad into this spot here too. So they were able to play very patiently off that north side, ease their way in, and look at the amount of KP that they cleaned up to set themselves up, not just for the dub, but also for match point with 10 KP.
04:08:23 Great stuff from Lucita France, no doubt about it. And getting a win is a part of their identity, their DNA as a team. They've been really successful in teamfights. They've been very threatening. It's been a matter more like Vex. Can you get to those positions or does something happen along the way that is inevitably a speed bump that proves too treacherous to continue driving down the road that you set? A team that doesn't have that problem, but has a different problem I want to highlight. It's not go next. They're doing fine. It's Phoenix Legacy, who congratulations to Sab.
04:08:53 joining us on the desk a week later, now participating in the LCQ with a chance to go forward, but they don't have that spark in these final zones. My intention for them is to see, can they get a win? Can they go at it, not just with placement points and kills, but can they have one of those games where they carry their momentum forward and try to actually be a threat in these final circles rather than just be a participant in these final circles? That, to me, is the theme that I've seen with Phoenix Legacy.
04:09:21 See if they can continue on it. Horizon Union, probably the same piece here. As we go to the back half, Vicky, what are your thoughts as we take a look at these teams here in the bottom ten? We already know the story with Entropic and Aurora, but what are your thoughts here looking at these teams?
04:09:36 Well, you're talking about Phoenix Legacy, another team that's actually suffering from a very similar fate is V2. Our winners from game number one have just fallen silent going on throughout the course of these last few games, sitting at 35 points alongside Phoenix Legacy with 33 points. This second half here too, we keep highlighting in Tropic, another team that was already at match point, a lot of our match point teams actually, just until the very end, just Midas go next, were some of the first to fall here. And it's going to be that focus that you are going to see throughout the next game as well.
Match Point Dynamics und Teamstrategien im LCQ
04:10:05
04:10:05 especially with more of these teams hitting Match Point, the playstyle will be shifting dramatically. Well, we have the top 1 through 20 for these match results there and live. The series results, though, we're going to find out right after the break. Don't go anywhere. We'll show you exactly who is on our Match Point as we go one more time to see if somebody can crown themselves a victor here in our LCQ.
04:12:04 Match number eight is queued up and ready to go. And Dan, this has been quite a wild ride up until this point. We now have multiple teams sat on Match Point. And the real question is, do any of them have the bottle to see this out right now, to close it out? And who's got the ice? And who's going to choke? Oh, straight out. Who's going to choke? Honestly, I still can see this going further. I can still see other teams that haven't got a victory yet getting a victory because they've been doing it throughout the LCQ.
04:12:30 Aber bei sechs Teams ist es etwas manageable. Es ist wie, du kannst das Killfeed einfach mal sehen, wie es noch immer noch was ist. Aber dann wird es ein bisschen wie ein Crap-Shoot, wo du auf die Reihe und wirst, dass du in der Final-Circle bist, dass du die einzige Team auf Matchpoint bist. Und du denkst, ist es noch ein Team? Wenn wir diese Team verlieren, ist es noch etwas zu schwierig zu versuchen. Es gibt andere Dinge, wenn du in die Final-Circle bist.
04:12:58 I mean, I can see Blue-Whites upsetting things here. I could see Maestro doing it again. V2 still had a victory. They could get another victory on the board. There are teams that can definitely play spoiler here going into match number eight. And I think you saw kind of what the symptoms, some of the symptoms that you see from teams hitting match point in that last game, right? Everybody just started being hyper aggressive and throwing themselves into fights, knowing that if they weren't able to, if they didn't see one of the, excuse me, if one of those teams was to win match point.
04:13:26 Das war die nächste Faktor.
04:13:53 Look how close it is. Two points is all those four teams outside of the Matchpoint teams need to win this. But go next. You may start to think if they have a good game here, even if Matchpoint wraps up, they should, should have enough points maybe to secure second as long as they don't throw it away early.
04:14:11 Honestly, yeah, GoNext might be hoping that this one ends, even if they don't do it, because they have a little bit of a lead here over some of the other squads. And as long as they can have a consistent game, they should find themselves in that top two. But the longer it goes on and the more teams that start to get onto Matchpoint and start to catch GoNext, then the little bit more nerve-wracking it becomes. But we've got, what, now four teams who are within touching distance of Matchpoint. We could go into Match9 with 10 squads on Matchpoint is the likelihood if we were to get there.
04:14:40 Und wie ich schon erwähnt habe, haben wir schon wieder gewonnen in der LZQ gewonnen. Wir haben Dänisch, die sehr gut sind, in der Recht zu finden, und uns zu einer Nummer 9 zu finden. Horizon Union, V2, könnte noch spielen, Spoiler. Es ist nicht so einfach. Es ist nicht so einfach. Es ist nicht so gut, dass wir uns zu finden, und das ist warum Matchpoint immer so interessant ist, weil wenn man mehrere squads, oder sechs in diesem Fall ist, es ist nicht so gut. Es ist immer eine Chance, dass jemand anderen kann uns zu kommen und uns zu der nächsten Spiel.
04:15:08 Yeah, and of course some of these teams, you know, might be the first time they've played in Matchpoint as well. So it's a completely different format, something else to kind of wrap your head around as a team. And I agree with you. It's been so difficult to predict who is going to be, even in the end zone, to be honest with you, let alone who's going to win games so far in this lobby. But you're quite right, we could see game number nine on the horizon if we don't get it done right now. So for Go Next, Le Cic de France and Tropic, ANC outplayed Aurora and Vexed, I get the feeling that...
04:15:35 The Zone is going to be really important to them here. It's Stormpoint, which makes it a little bit more predictable. But at the same time, if you can get into Zone quickly and you are being caught on edge on a rotate where teams are starting to get hyper aggressive, Dan, that certainly increases your chances of winning this game. Zone will be more vacant than it has been previously. If you have Pryo, use it, abuse it, get inside a building and get into that endgame.
04:15:59 Well, the team I'm going to really be focusing on throughout match number eight here is Vex. They started as our leaders with 10 points coming into this. It was a slow start for them, but they finally find themselves on match point, on their favorite map as well, Storm Point. Bear in mind, throughout this LCQ, when they've got to top 10, 50% of those games they've been able to find a victory from.
04:16:22 So if they can get into that late game, if they can find themselves within those final circles, Vexed are your best bet at finding a victory in this particular match. It changes entirely if we go over to World's Edge though. So if you're Vexed, if you're a Vexed fan, if you are hashtag feeling Vexed, you'll want to see them do it here in match number eight. So one opportunity here on Stormpoint to get that job done before we start mixing things up once again. But before we get there, of course, we've got a lot more work to do as we have a beautiful little fly through of the Armoury where certainly some teams will be looking.
04:16:51 I mean so often we see it end at 7 or 8.
04:17:20 But we have seen Matchpoint go further. We've seen it go to 9, 10, 11. We were in Poland. Historically. It happened in Poland, and who knows, it could happen again here in this LCQ, especially when these teams are so close. Some of these early engagements could be absolutely massive for chances of these squads to actually find themselves in those final circles. And of course, as we know, the ring is going to be absolutely everything for a lot of these squads. Is it going to be headed? Oh, okay.
04:17:49 We're going to head all the way up northeast. Now, who do you think this benefits most? In terms of our match point teams, maybe go next. But look at it. Voltage to who to not. UTFT, they're all in a great spot to try and set up here. I mean, this is a lightning rod zone if ever I've seen one. One of the roughest zones to rotate into. I mean, I would even say if you want.
04:18:12 Es ist einfach so schwierig zu kommen, weil es so schwierig zu kommen, weil es die Verticalität ist. So, die Tohu-Ton-Tut, die ich immer noch mal sagen muss. Oh, by the way, apparently, das bedeutet, dass jemand kind genug zu Tweet me, zu sagen, was das bedeutet. Es bedeutet, Hustle Elves in Finnish. Oh. So, jetzt we know, jetzt we know. Oh, was ich sagen, ist es schwierig zu kommen, weil es schwierig zu kommen.
04:18:40 Wenn sie da sind, ist es, wenn sie da sind. Aber ja, die Closeste Team, die auf Matchpoint ist, ist Gonext. Und ob sie sich in die Position zu gewinnen und gewinnen werden kann, bleibt zu sehen. Vex wird von Launchpad gehen. Entropik wird ein langer Weg von Downbeast gehen. Aurora, all die weg von Shitfall.
04:19:03 Ich denke, wir können ihn für den Eventen gehen. Ich bin ehrlich, das ist ein... Ich meine, Shipfall zu Lightning Rod zu Book Your Spotted Champs. Das ist die Geschichte. Das ist die Geschichte. Das ist die Geschichte. Das ist die Geschichte, fast als die Drive, all die von... Well, across die ganze Welt, wasn't es? 24 Days of Driving oder so? Wir sahen einen Fans auf den Weg zu London, das letzte Woche. Das ist die Geschichte, die Aurora aufzunehmen.
04:19:28 Ja, das ist pure Dedication. Ich bin nicht zu lief, ich bin ein paar Stunden zu fahren. Aber das ist nur mich, ich bin alt. Aber Entropic, sie sind jetzt über ein Downboost. Sie haben einen Trident zu helfen mit der Rotate. Aber ich meine, für viele Teams, sie werden wahrscheinlich denken, das ist ein schweres zu gewinnen, wenn wir ein Matchpoint Team sind, nur weil der Dropspot und wo das Zone ist. All unsere Matchpoint Teams würden sagen, außer dem GoNext.
04:19:52 Sie haben, ich glaube, eine gewisse Priorität zu dieser Zone, aber da sind bereits fünf, sechs, sieben Teams vorhanden. Das ist wahrscheinlich über die Punkte für sie. Sie werden wahrscheinlich denken, dass sie 2nd place in diesem Spiel werden, denn das ist nicht der one zu gewinnen.
04:20:08 Ich werde sagen, du wißt du, was?
Entscheidungen und Wendepunkte im Matchverlauf
04:20:36
04:20:36 Match 9. I think it is entirely possible we could get a Match 9 just based off of the drop spots of all of our Match Point teams and where this zone is going. I have to agree with you. Settle in, everybody. I feel like we're going to have a long evening of Apex Legends in front of us before we book the tickets for those two teams from the EMEA region to go to the ALGS Championships. You can see Aurora's plan. Danish! Oh, my goodness!
04:21:00 Das ist ein Drive-In, aber es ist gut genug, um sie aus einem Sticky-Situation zu kommen. Sie werden dann aber auch noch nicht verletzt, aber auch noch nicht. Vortex hat es versucht, das Gap zu verlassen, aber der Ultimator von Bangalore ist etwas zu schlafen. In der Kill-Feed, Sie sehen, Horizon ist es zu bemerkst und bemerkst von Sabs von Phoenix Legacy. Excuse mich. Legacy? Legacy?
04:21:26 I can't believe we get a Lightning Rod zone, by the way, with these teams on Matchpoint. Hold up, let me tee this up. We've got more power than we think. We forget this sometimes. You can curse things, right, as a commentator. There's no way one of these Matchpoint teams wins this. Absolutely not. It would be ludicrous. It's near impossible. It would be near impossible, Dan. I would shave my... No, I'm not going down that route again. I don't know if it's better for you to finish the sentence or not, to be honest.
04:21:56 Well, you can use your imagination, but Phoenix Legacy did get one knocked, but back onto their feet right now, as now the push is going to come through. They are 13th place at the moment, 16 points off match point. It's Uweim who are on the other side on 26. So two teams who are not really that close to match point, but certainly could be one of the squads to maybe play spoiler, as it's all these teams who are going to be on this far northeast side that are going to have the best chance of winning this game.
04:22:22 Ueim will push this. Maxstreich is going to get a knock as well onto Sabs. Sentinel doing damage, poking through the smoke. Ueim in a pretty decent spot, you would say, at the moment for Endzone. But Phoenix Legacy, again, is all up to Alpha Draft to survive. And you get the feeling that's going to be very difficult to do with where he finds himself right now. Ueim going to retreat back to where they found themselves a little bit earlier on. This is their play call position, I should say.
04:22:50 für den langen hier. Vexte haben sich jetzt auf den Süd-East von Lightning Rod geholfen, aber wir haben gesehen, aber wir haben gesehen, einen Punkt zu dem Punkt. So, wir sind jetzt 68 Punkte. Sie sind in Lightning Rod. Ich bin nicht sicher, wie sie hier sind. Aber sie sind hier. Und all of a sudden, wir sagen, es ist nicht unmöglich. Ich sage, ich sage, es ist nur noch nicht möglich. Ich sage, ich sage, es ist noch nicht möglich.
04:23:19 It was only because we said it was near impossible that they were able to achieve that. Because all the meanwhile we were talking about it, they just wormed their way in, bullied their way into this zone, and now find themselves in one of the primary positions that is without a doubt. They've done so well. Go next, as we see Phoenix Legacy eliminated. Danish now one point away from achieving match point themselves. Now, one of the things that might throw a spanner in the works is that there are four teams who are very close to match point on set. And when they do achieve match point, that's...
04:23:48 Hey, we said it would be near impossible, right? Aurora over at Shipfall.
04:24:17 So Aurora 54 points on Matchpoint coming into this.
04:24:47 Ich fühle mich an, wie es ein Story hier ist, Dan. Ich sage es, das ist eine der größten Wings zu sehen. Von Shipfall zu Lightning Rod. Es wäre eine Worte für die Agenheit. Also eine gute LP. Und wir werden sehen, ob sie es geschafft haben, denn die nächste Team ist Vex. Jetzt, Blue-Whites. Sie brauchen nur zwei mehr Punkte zu werden, also ich bin nicht wirklich froh, warum sie...
04:25:10 Hovering in Zone at the moment, just healing up and trying to get into at least that top 15 to get one point closer. Now they have been close to getting match point for quite some time now, but in the previous game they were not able to get those points they required as Aurora are continuing to make their move on this eastern side. So as I mentioned, it will be Vexed, the next squad they come into battle with, and that certainly could be a battle that could influence a lot of things as now Vexed will spot out Aurora. Yeah, it's a really good smoke coming in from...
04:25:38 Just to slow Vex down, being able to get any free shots onto them. Just completely denied that line of sight. Aurora now walking up and I tell you what, there's one thing in their mind right now is we're killing Vex. Let's try and push Vex away. Vex have backed up a little bit here to the compound. Elsewhere, this is happening just outside a command center to the north. This is going to be ANC outplayed.
04:26:01 Also Entropic in a little bit of a fight here. And I think there's more than one team in the vicinity. I think there's three teams stacked up on top of each other. Entropic trying to move past. Is that La Cite de France there as well? Okay, no. They're in the background somewhere. It's two teams. They're underneath. They're coming up the zip. They could get involved in this fight though. And that would be three of our match point teams all in an engagement. So we might lose a match point team here or there when this circle starts to close. As Entropic now are getting involved. And shots from the prowler.
04:26:29 Ah, der Hitfight ist schon genug, Yaki gibt's das Öpening Damage, aber sie müssen sich vorsichtig sein. Wir haben gesagt, dass es ein 3er Party gibt. Lesite de France wird überrascht, und Tropic wird die Kills, und ANC Outplayed wird die Eliminationen. Sie sind gut genug, die Pings kommen, aber hier kommt Lesite de France, um sie zu empfehlen. Aber gut Dammage kommt in, um das Pushe down, und 3v3.
04:26:56 We'll be even on both sides here.
04:27:25 Das ist nicht gut. Es ist nicht gut.
04:27:46 So two of our Matchpoint teams eliminated, and that means that both Outplayed and Entropic will just be praying that this goes to Match 9, because the likelihood is La Cite de France will overtake Entropic on points totals, which would leave Entropic Outplayed in 3rd and 4th not enough to get to the championships. It would be Go Next and La Cite de France, if one of them won it. But of course, there is still a chance that Aurora El Vex could win it, and then we might not see Go Next or La Cite de France get there. That's where the points totals start to get a little bit scary here.
04:28:16 und warum wir sehen viele große Fälle passieren in den ersten Spiel, als wir jetzt 15 Quads bleiben haben. Und das bedeutet, auf set, zwei mehr Teams haben gerade erreicht. Both Danisch und Voltage werden auf 50.
04:28:30 A long way to go still. Still nowhere near Lightning Rod. Still got a lot of ground to cover before they can be anywhere near that zone. Vexter starting to make a little bit of a move away as well. V2 are actually in front of them at the moment that they're exchanging fire with. Excuse me. We're all kind of trapped behind this rock, but this rock gives such a good vantage point onto V2. Jogger's decided to just get those smokes down and trying to get away from the fight. Aurora maybe just thinking about KP, but get it away!
04:28:59 Das ist so schwierig, wenn du gegen Aurora geht. Joke will fall, sie sind für die Finisher. Die Knockdown-Shield wird genug sein, aber es ist das Finisher. Und jetzt Aurora wird das, was Aurora macht. Sie werden fliehen, sie werden für K.P., sie werden für K.P.
04:29:15 Oder vielleicht werden sie einfach ein bisschen von Ammo nehmen. Aber sie müssen ein bisschen von Ammo nehmen, weil sie hinter ihnen kommen. Und die Aurora sind aus dem Blu-Whiten. Sie kommen auf den Hillen jetzt. Und die Aurora, vielleicht können sie von Shield Swapen? Ja, sie sind. Sunset hat fallen. Und es sind Blu-Whiten, die nur einen Punkt haben. Jetzt sind sie auf.
04:29:33 Das heißt, wir haben neige Gruppen auf den Matchpunkt, wenn wir auf die Nummer 9 kommen können, als Blu-Whites können jetzt spielen Spoiler noch mehr und werden die Gruppen, die vielleicht die Hoffnung hier für die Lüge von Aurora zu tun. Sie sehen, dass sie das Evac-Tower zu tun haben, dass niemand in den Fronten wird, hier, Blu-Whites, aber ich denke, dass das schon schon wieder gemacht ist. Es ist schon wieder gemacht. Aurora ist jetzt hier, auf nur zwei. Die Story ist jetzt hier.
04:30:03 Vex Gaming ist noch über die ganze Zeit. Das ist der Norte. Und das ist der Norte. Und das ist der Norte. Und das ist der Norte. Und das ist der Norte. Und das ist der Norte. Und das ist der Norte. Und das ist der Norte. Der Norte. Der Norte. Die Norte. Die Norte. Die Norte. Die Norte. Die Norte. Die Norte. Die Norte. Die Norte.
04:30:31 Zynetik is going to go down. They're trying to get these finishes and the armor swaps.
04:30:35 But Flash is now left on his own here, Dan, and Blue-Whites look like they might be out in a few seconds as well. Yeah, I think in Blue-Whites' eyes, they've done their job. They've got to Matchpoint, and now they're just jumping on teams, maybe hoping it's going to be one of those Matchpoint squads, as Vex now getting in the killfeed. Aurora eliminated, so they will not be able to win here in Match No. 8, and they will be hoping we go to Match 9. Lesique de France also go down. Another Matchpoint team has been eliminated, so it's just two squads left who are on Matchpoint, as now Blue-Whites still trying to stay...
04:31:05 hier.
04:31:32 Als er versucht er seinen Weg in die Zone zu machen, er wird er gedauert, so das wird Blue-White-Stone mit. Jetzt sind wir zu 11, Dan. Vex Gaming. Das ist eine Geschichte, in sich selbst. Er hat sich in Emitar für so lange, aber wenn es zu landen, dann fallen sie kurz. Aber zu landen wieder ist es eine Priorität für sie hier.
04:31:53 Of course, making a last minute change and still finding success throughout the LCQ as they push up on UTFT. And the damage is being done as well. GDOM through the flat line. 330 comes out as the backup. And are they going to be able to isolate this fight? At the moment, they are. And Vexter staying healthy. This is huge for them. Remember, they're the only one of two teams who are on match point right now who could win it here in match eight as they get into the top ten. As I mentioned earlier, in the LCQ, 50% of the time they get into the top ten, they have won on story.
04:32:22 Das ist genau da, wo sie sich auf den Boden befinden.
GoNext sichert sich den Sieg: Strategie und entscheidende Momente
04:32:44
04:32:44 Oh my goodness, go next. You don't get a better chance than this. It's as simple as that. Ten squads remaining. You have the god of all godspots. You are in the heavens. You are looking down on everyone else. But can you convert? And can anyone single them out as the team who might be able to end it right here, right now? That's got to be their biggest concern.
04:33:04 One of the things that also worries me, just looking at the overall standings, I said that La Cie de France SHOULD be able to jump over Entropic, but the fact they got eliminated on their rotation, Entropic and La Cie de France are both on 64 points inside second place, so if GoNex did win here, it looks like it could be a tiebreaker to see who goes to championships, which would be one for the admins and not one for me. We'll have to see what happens if we get there, but one team who can change it and put Destiny in their own hands is Vexed, and it looks like this is going to be...
04:33:33 Das ist der letzte attempt zu finden, hier in Lightning Rod zu finden.
04:33:59 Unbelievable attempt from Vexed, but it might be the end of their chances if this team around the corner decides to push up, because they've been able to get one knock and finish it off. Metafe's down. It's a last-ditch attempt from Vexed. It was very much a Hail Mary, as you said. And now with the smoke, are we going to see this team just try and push up and try and finish off Vexed here and give it all the opportunity to go next to win this one? Unlucky stays alive. Unlucky took the gravlift and look at this position. He's found himself in. He's up on height.
04:34:28 Es ist auf ein Hecht, aber es ist im Hintergrund, in comparison zu wo Gonext sich selbst befinden. Der CQ wird informieren, wo Unlucky ist, als er einfach zurückgeht.
04:34:39 Very desperate and brave attempt from Unlucky, but this is where we need to be. Go next. 70 points, top of the table and top of the mountain on match point. And they have a real opportunity of winning it all here. Unlucky, having been silenced just a few seconds ago by that CRQ, now has the grav lift back. Maestro have been eliminated. We're down to seven squads now.
04:35:05 Zip line going to be taken here as well on the right hand side of your screen. You can see that's trying to push onto the position of go next. Go next, you're in the back. And I tell you what, go next. If a fight breaks out here, they might be able to third party this. And then all of a sudden they have complete control of the end zone. And they will be hoping that they hear gunfire break out. That they hear bodies dropping. They see that kill feed start to light up. But for now.
04:35:31 Sie sind sehr, sehr komfortabel. Wir haben gesehen, die Zonen enden, wirklich, wo sie sich jetzt befinden. Und für 2 Hotentat, sie werden einfach nur spielen Spoiler, versuchen alles zu tun, aber ich glaube, sie werden nicht genug Kills in diesem Lobby haben, um sich zu machen.
04:35:52 Und ich denke, wenn wir das Lightning Rod pull haben, Gonext waren die einzige Team, die auf Matchpoint waren, die nahe zu kommen, um in die Position zu kommen. Und sie haben sich die Chance gegeben, als Unlucky ist, dass sie noch ein Meri-Old-Dance-Around-Lightning-Rod zu versuchen, um das Unthinkable zu versuchen, hier für Vexed zu machen. Nicht nur ist es um, um zu gewinnen, aber natürlich zu gewinnen, um die extra Punkte zu treffen, um diejenigen zu kommen, um diejenigen zu kommen, um diejenigen zu kommen.
04:36:15 Weil wenn jemand gewinnt, Vechst nicht gewinnen würde, es könnte das Ende sein für Unlucky werden. Es wird TT über sie, als Vechst geht es, als Dänisch ein Team ist, und es könnte noch ein Team sein, um uns zu machen.
04:36:35 A moment of silence here while everybody just slows down. Lightning Rod, one of the toughest zones in all of Apex, regardless of the map. To find a place to play if you're not there early. Or go next. Are hoping that they don't have to go next. They can get it done here. They can get it done now. First place overall at the moment in points. On match point as well. If they win it here, it's done. They will be going.
04:37:03 zu der ALGS-Championship. 30 Sekunden bis zur Zone closes, Dan. Haben sie den Nerv?
04:37:09 So 1 in 5 chance.
04:37:36 von uns enden es hier. Aber wie gesagt, es gibt Teams, die in Apex-Games finden, können in den Apex-Games spielen, und Dänisch ist definitiv ein. Gonext hat nicht gewonnen, eine Storm-Point-Match in diesem LC-Q, aber sie können die Fehler machen und machen es hier in Match Nr. 8. Ich weiß nicht, wie sie in dieser Position aufsetzen sind, aber es ist sicherlich eine der größten Kommandungen zu finden.
04:38:01 We'll go next. I've got to hope that the rest of the lobby starts doing damage to each other and that they can try and capitalize on that. Kraber in the hands of Beavis, though. One poke. Oh, 112 is going to be good. Up on the high ground. And again, this is great for Go Next. More damage to them. Fantastic. Beavis, keep doing your work because Horizon are going to be the ones that get punished. But it's not enough to get the knock.
04:38:26 Gonex hoffe, dass die Lobby sich um sich um sich zu machen. Und sie können einen Final Push-Out für Zone machen. Ja, Gonex versuchen, das für so lange wie möglich zu lassen. Stehen in den Cover, nehmen die wenigstens Dämme, und dann werden sie geholfen. Und ich hoffe, dass alle anderen über sie haben, dass sie bereits ein Member verloren haben oder eine gute Dämme haben, als Dark Veil jetzt starten die Final-Circle. Black Holes geht es auch. Horizon Union ist vielleicht in der Position, um zu spielen Spoiler und um uns zu Nummer 9 zu spielen. Schuss durch die Smite kommen in von Jay Savage.
04:38:55 However, the piercing spikes are going to hurt. Now Gonex make their play call. The Dark Veil goes down. They're going to try and inch out, use every single little bit of cover that they can, but now they're going to poach. Now they're going to prod it. Foursquatch Romaini, but Gonex still healthy here. Can they get the finishes? The zone is forcing them forward.
04:39:13 Die Dark Veil ist ein Problem, die Piercing Spikes sind auch ein Problem, aber Voltage geht's! Es ist drei Squats, und oh mein Gott, was an ult das ist! Es macht so viel damage! Und jetzt, Gonext, von einem almost improbable Position, vielleicht können wir das einigen. Dänisch sind dann! Gonext, ihr seid zu der ALGS Championship! Sie haben ihre Zeit!
04:39:38 The Dark Veil went down and they somehow were able to avoid so much damage. And then it was the way they used the Black Hole. It was the way they forced other teams to fight. And how they got into that position in the first place is something I need to go back and see. Because where they land, it was such a tough rotation to get up to Lightning Rod. But they moved fast. They knew what zone they were playing. As soon as they saw that circle pull, they got into the best position they could. And they made it count. The scary thing here.
04:40:07 ist, wir haben zwei Teams, die in 2nd place sind. So, das geht um zu einem geschehen. Ich bin aus, ich bin aus. Admin, bring him in. Nothing zu tun mit uns. Imagine if he was down to me. Between Tropic and La Cite de France, es wird ein tiebreaker zwischen den zwei squads, zu whoever kam second.
Analyse des Sieges von GoNext und Ausblick auf die ALGS Championship
04:40:27
04:40:27 Awesome, awesome stuff. What a finish for that. Go next from Shipfall to Lightning Rod. I like the LP sound right there, Mark. You might want to steal that for the next one you put out. But I also think that this is just a great performance of a team who felt like it was already destined, but there's so much to do on the way to Destiny, Mark, to actually pull it off. And they played every single moment correctly. That is hard to do, and it is well-deserving of a first-place finish here.
04:40:55 I mean, the way that they managed their utility in that endgame was perfect. Like, literally perfect. The Dark Veil was perfect. They inched their way out. They managed to isolate one side of the zone where a lot of damage is being done, and then they can walk out. But I've got to say, if you want a perfect example of what you want your Horizon to do with the Gravlift and a Black Hole...
04:41:13 Das war es. Die Black Hole ging so well. All drei Spieler get sucked into it. They just become easy kills. And they can just dispatch that team so, so quickly, which means they can then turn their attention away to close things out. It's brilliant use of Ultimates. That's all it was. But Dan's right. The Rotate that they made from their POI where they landed, which was over at Cascade Falls to get into Lightning Rod.
04:41:35 Das ist hart. Das ist hart. Das ist hart. Das ist hart. Das ist hart. Das ist hart. Das ist hart. Das ist hart. Das ist hart. Das ist hart. Das ist hart. Das ist hart. Das ist hart.
04:41:48 Ja, das ist definitiv die KEY. Ich weiß nicht, ob wir die Final Circle haben für euch oder die Match Resultate für einen, aber ich glaube, wir haben etwas kommen. Es ist unser Final Circle. Dan, walk uns durch es. Marc sagt, sie hat es perfekt gemacht. Und es war. Es war perfekt für einen Tee zu gewinnen. Ja, und ich erwähnte, was die Utilität ist, was sie haben. Aber die wichtigste Sache war, was ihre Ultimates. Die Dark Veil gab es so viel Coverage, wo sie konnte einfach nur aussehen, und auch ein bisschen extra Protection haben. Aber es war wirklich die Black Hole, das macht es. Denn wenn sie hier pushen, sie hat vieles.
04:42:17 Und es war wirklich worrying. Es war wirklich so, dass die anderen Gruppen vielleicht auch viel zu tun. Aber es war wirklich über die Dark Veil genug zu verhindern. Und dann, als das Black Hole ging runter, glaube ich, das war, dass das die Möglichkeit sein wird, dass sie sich zu den Champions-Gruppen zu senden. Look at das! All drei von ihnen scrambling, und dann einfach... ...sitting Ducks, waiting zu werden, aus der Sky-Gruppe. Und von diesem Punkt aufwärts, Gonext. Ich glaube, das ist das, dass sie sich zu den Champions-Gruppen waren.
04:42:47 Beautiful, beautiful finish. We can watch that one back again and again. That is textbook. If you have a horizon and a catalyst, that will go down in the records for sure. Go next. We'll claim the first place there on Matchpoint and end our tournament, but who will get second place? Still something on.
04:43:12 We will find out. This is how the first Top 10 finished. Of course, Back 10 from UTFT all the way down to Phoenix Legacy. A lot of these teams will be hoping, but specifically Entropic will be looking at that as well as Lesite de France. Did they do enough? They are tied, but if we're looking at it, it seems like Lesite de France with that tie break, Mark, potentially claiming that second place and booking their spot to land.
04:43:40 Ich meine, kann ich es näher kommen? Die Antwort ist nein. Ich meine, Admin ist es gut. Ich würde nicht sein, dass ich mich mit einem Plus 2 habe. Ich war sehr glücklich, dass ich das richtig habe. Ich meine, kongratulation zu beiden Teams. Ich fühle mich für Entropik, aber ich denke, sie waren eine der Standouts von Mami. Ich habe das Grand Finale gewonnen, als der Split-2 Playoffs gewonnen.
04:44:01 If I remember correctly, tiebreaker at playoffs was...
04:44:18 The game that you win, if the other team has won a game as well, it's how many kills and how many points you got in that single match. So Lucille de France, they had 10 kills and a victory, which would put them above Entropic, who had 6 kills and a victory in their match as well. So Lucille de France, in that theory, would take second place, which is crazy to come down to that in what has been such a close-fought lobby. But going next are our rightful champions, Lucille de France, sneak through, which is kind of crazy. But we'll have to wait for the admins to definitely...
04:44:47 Definitely confirm it, that's just what I remember from playoffs.
04:45:13 Double E, Triple E waiting to confirm that. And I'm sure that Entropic are trying to reach the admins as well saying, make sure you double, triple, quadruple.
04:45:21 Quintuple, check that because we don't want to not go to land based on a miscalculation. But I'm sure that our guys in the back will make sure we get it right. And once we have that doubly, triply confirmed, we will let you know. But as it stands right now, it is definitely go next. So let's shift the conversation back to them, Mark, because we know they put it into their own hands. They took control. A phenomenal thing. For me, I was almost stunned seeing them make the change more so. I got Dan's opinion on this earlier. But making that change after playoffs so quick.
04:45:51 dcts that are being replaced with mysie but it working out so well it feels hard for me to without knowing the backstory say this is the first time they've either played together or put this had this in mind because that synergy is just almost unheard of with the way that it's shown up today that's what you want from a team change right do you want to my god someone else someone in and you you go and win match point and you book your
04:46:14 Das war der ALGS-Championship. Das ist warum du eine Team-Change machen. Wir wissen nicht, dass es nicht für uns zu speculieren, warum die Entscheidung war, aber es war natürlich die richtige one, weil sie das Ergebnis getrennt. Und sie gehen das extra step in den ALGS-Championship. Ich habe gesagt, es war heart-breaking, dass sie nicht in die Grand-Finals-Lobby waren. Ich glaube, sie waren 23rd overall in der Split-Two-Planche. So, 4 points off, glaube ich, von Qualifying für die Grand-Finals.
04:46:43 One of the 20 get there eventually. Best teams in the world in that Grand Finals lobby. That says it all. So four points off. They probably were the team to watch today and I think completely deserved win.
04:46:54 I mean, Nasky credited Bambino as well for being one of the best IGLs out there in terms of being able to take teams, new players, untested players who have insane skill in this pro lobby and guide them to the right space. And Dan, I think if anything, when you dissect that final circle, it looks like someone with a clear command of how the game should be played from a very macro level, but also a very micro level as well.
04:47:17 Ja, ich denke, dass, ihr wisst, das ist die große Sache. Und dann, als ihr da seid, ist die größere Sache, die in den finalen Cirkeln ist so hektisch. Und ich denke, dass...
04:47:28 Das war nicht der Fall. Das war nicht der Fall. Das war nicht der Fall. Das war nicht der Fall.
04:47:53 On a good points total and should be doing enough. But still, no one's going to be calm in those scenarios. But they seem to look it with how they executed.
04:48:01 Yeah, I think the benefit, too, is the fact they were just on the main stage in London. That really does make a difference. Obviously, teams they were fighting against in that lobby, Entropic speaking specifically about it, they were also in London as well just recently. But GoNext, having that experience, they were able to carry that momentum. They will be back on the land stage. And to confirm, for those who wanted to know about the LCDF and Entropic situation, it will go to LCDF. La Cite de France will, as an official confirmation here, be heading to...
04:48:31 the ALGS Championship from September 6th to 10th in Birmingham in the UK. So congrats to them. And I think well deserved as well. Lesita France, they've been a long stay.
04:48:41 Team and presence in the ALGS Mark and they continue to write their own history and who knows what can happen to Champs. Yeah, congratulations to Psycop. I know that he's been, you know, tinkering with that. Let's see the France roster. I mean, how long ago does it feel now that we were talking about them being the regional? I think they were regional winners at one point. Let's see the France of the EMEA region. So congratulations for them. And now it's about putting the hard work in right now. It's about thinking about the ALGS championships and saying.
04:49:08 Okay, we've qualified. We've done what we needed to do. Now, how do we take that next step and work our way through that extremely long, grueling event to be there on the Sunday with a shot to win it all?
04:49:19 Yeah, it is a different thing. And I know that what we want to kind of get to you now when we have it queued up, we're still waiting just to confirm with graphics, but is our confirmed teams as of now for championships. If we don't have that, we'll move on to talking about some highlight performances, but we will wait to see because that's what this is all about. We've got North America coming up after this. We're trying to lock in the rosters for who will be competing in that big stage.
04:49:44 Das ist der Punkt, was das hier ist, auch. Du sprachst über die große Stage, während wir hier warten, Marc, und es ist dieses kind of beast, das nicht jeder weiß, wie man es handeln kann, aber wie man hier sieht, hier ist es, auf dem man hier sieht, Lasiette de France, sie haben mit den Gonext, Crazy Raccoon, Northeption, all über die Welt, man sieht, die Teams representiert, von Nordamerika, zu APAC, all die weiter...
04:50:12 To our EMEA teams as well here with Lesite de France, who have just booked their ticket. They will join the remaining teams who are waiting. And yes, we still have two to crown in North America. But as we move through these pages, if there's still more to show, you know, Mark, it's nice to highlight some of these teams and their journeys outside of the big show, because look at all these teams. We barely had enough time to talk about them individually for over four days at Champs because so much is going on. So it's nice to highlight some of these stories coming into the event as well.
04:50:42 Oh, 100%. Und ich fühle mich mit den Split-1 und den Split-2-Play-Offs, dass es so viele, sehr viele, sehr viele, sehr viele Events mit den Storien zu erzählen und alle, die Spieler zu kennen und wie sie ein bisschen mehr spielen können, nicht nur die Region, die ihr von, die ihr aussehen, sondern auch die Apex-Legend von weltweit.
04:51:00 I think it just puts us in a great spot, right? Heading in towards the ALGS Championships. Every team who's here is going to have huge fans now. Everybody is going to be rooting for them, finding fan bases that they found throughout the season they may not have had before. So this is the big stage. This is what it's all about, right? Split one playoffs, amazing. Split two playoffs, amazing. But the ALGS Championship is the one you want to win. And I'm sure that everybody who's on a team who plays Apex Legends knows that better than anyone.
04:51:26 Big shout as well. Get your tickets. They're on sale right now. So join us there in person live. Check it out at Play Apex Esports. We'll show you as well a little bit on the screen. But Dan, LCQ isn't just a small story to share some and shed some light onto a few of the teams that don't necessarily get the biggest spotlight when they're competing against the TSM's and these big names like Dark Zero who have won the lands. It's also a potential
04:51:50 Huge underdog story, like we saw with Furia, who ended up taking second place coming out of the LCQ. So it's not far-fetched to think that we may have a similar story arise this year. Yeah, I think the Challenger circuit and then going into LCQ just shows that there is such a...
04:52:06 Vielen Dank.
04:52:36 was talking about they sneak in on a tiebreaker so from that one big game where they got those 10 kills is the reason why they are here for entropic that's gonna be a difficult pill to swallow but I'm sure that they'll go next and next year we'll be seeing them put even harder put more effort in and show us what they're made of
04:52:53 I think you're just going to jump in here because I think the greatest example of aspiration for anyone at the moment is what Oxygen just did at the split two playoffs. Two players on that team who came from being number one in the world in arenas to number four in the world in Battle Royales and taking over a lot of money alongside it. So I think everyone who's qualifying from these LCQs, if you're a new player, if you're still working your way up, you've got to look at Oxygen as the model, right? They've gone through it all. Challenger circuit, arenas, ranked. Now they're one of the best in the world. And I think it's a great example to take for a lot of teams.
04:53:21 Amazing, amazing moment. Aiden Reed's in vain, surviving that final moment. Maybe if he landed on the tree, we would have seen something special happen. But third place will be happy in Champs, and they'll earn a lot of money on that. We'll see, excuse me, playoffs split too. We'll see what happens in Champs, though. As we have a chance, though, to talk about our top performers, I don't think it's going to be a surprise as we queue up one of my favorite segments of the day, our Monster Energy MVP.
04:53:49 You notice I usually say MVPs, but today I think it was just so overwhelmingly one-sided that we couldn't pick another player or we couldn't pick another moment. So Mark, I'm going to start with you. Who is your Monster Energy MVP? Got to be Slab. And the reason, I'll give you a reason why he stood out for me is like MVPs are MVPs, right? Because they play extremely well across the day, but there's MVPs because you made a most valuable play, I feel like. And that black hole in that endgame.
04:54:17 Ich meine, wir sehen es auf den Replays ein Millionen Mal, und ich bin sicher, wir werden es ein Millionen Mal sehen, denn das ist das Spiel, das Spiel zu gewinnen, um das Spiel zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen, um es zu gewinnen.
04:54:46 Ja, ich gehe für Slab als auch. Marc ist es, wie gut es war, seine Utilität und die Faktoren hat. Aber haben Sie gesehen, diese Clips? Und die Schotten er war, es ist unglaublich, wie consistent er war heute. Und er war so ein großer Faktor für GoNext, nicht nur in Final Circles, sondern nur in every single Engagement. Er war so ein Damage-Dean.
04:55:15 Und ich denke, das ist so wichtig auf der Horizont, jemand, der wird das Dämpfer sein, weil oft die Horizont werden die letzte zu überleben, weil sie in den Sky gehen können. Das ist das Spiel, die Onset war. Die Black Hole, die Gravlift waren absolut alles. Und ganz ehrlich, war er als eine der MVPs hier. Weil GoNext, sie spielen Unreal all day und Slab war eine große Rolle.
04:55:36 It is really hard sometimes to isolate a most valuable play and a most valuable player. They don't often coincide, but this time it certainly did. Go next with the win, slab with the aggression, and slab with that clutch black hole to close it out. That has been your Monster Energy MVP for today's LCQ.
04:55:56 Ich hoffe, wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal.
04:56:25 And of course, that is going to be right after this, where we'll find two other teams to join us at our championships. Before we get there, though, of course, it's time to talk WD Black. What's in your pack?
04:56:42 All right, today we've got the R99, one of my, if not my favorite weapons in the game. Marc, talk to us a little bit about the impact this has, or maybe hasn't had this season. I mean, this weapon is my favorite weapon in the game. It has been, even when it was nerfed. It's just, there's something very satisfying. I would say second only to, I mean, this is showing like...
04:57:04 Ich würde sagen, Tradition-Based, in Apex Legends. Ich würde sagen, es ist die 2nd, die größte Wink-Kill du kannst, außer einem perfekt Wink-Man-Kill. Ein Kleb mit dem R99, ich würde sagen. Es hat einen Gefühl, ich denke, es ist weil wir es so lange gemacht haben. Players haben ihre Namen auf dieses Weapon gemacht. Es ist jetzt, zu dieser Zeit, die besten SMG in dem Spiel. Unfortunately, du hast es für ein bisschen zu craften. Hopefully, wir werden es sehen, dass wir das wieder aus dem Package kommen, weil ich will es sehen, dass Leute mit dem Rippen mit es sind.
04:57:30 Make your way towards a crafter and put a little bit of money in to make sure that you're going to get it in your hands. Yeah, Prowler's overtaking it, but I think the R99 still reigns supreme, Dan, in my eyes. What about you?
04:57:40 Oh, absolutely. Even though the Prowler has been up there with statistics on how many kills and how much damage it's done, that's just because the R9 is crafted now. We're not having as many R99s on the map. When it comes back out, I think it will rise to the top once more, because as Mark said, it is just one of those things that goes hand in hand. Apex Legends and the R99, we've seen some of the biggest and best plays from it, and it's an unreal weapon, especially when you have a controller player wielding it as well. And even mouse and keyboard players, they shred with it. It's just...
04:58:09 The perfect SMG to have. Well, that has been the WD Black What's in Your Pack for today. The R99. Yeah, yeah. You know, I love an R99. Probably my favorite weapon, but I'm not going to lead the conversation that direction as we have to stop and get ready for what is to come. Before we do it, though, I want to get some final thoughts from our casters who have been...
04:58:31 diligently helping us to guide these games into their completion and finally get us two more teams going to championships. So Mark, your takeaways from our Amia LCQ. I mean, it was a really gritty battle I felt like all day today. I feel like GoNex was certainly the standout team. I feel like Vex are going to be a little bit disappointed not being at the championships, you know.
04:58:52 They were there at Split 1 Playoffs. They've won Pro League. They're there at Split 2 Playoffs. But the LAN performances have not been what we saw online from them. So I'm fortunate for them that they're not going to get an opportunity to put it right. But I think for Le Cid de France, it's a great kind of comeback story, right? They kind of fell off a little bit. We hadn't heard from them as much. Not the success that we'd had previously. But they get it on a tiebreaker. They get it on a tiebreaker. But I think the takeaway story today is winning the game on...
04:59:19 Winning the game of Lightning Rod, moving from Cascades, the perfect endgame played for what is a perfect day for Go Next. They're the champs, they win Match Point and we'll see them in Birmingham.
04:59:30 That is a special statement right there. See you in Birmingham. Dan, I want to get your thoughts as well after a great day of EMEA action. Yeah, I'm going to echo a few of the things Onset said. I mean, it's going to be weird not seeing the likes of Vexed, the likes of Aurora, who have been teams that have dominated pro leagues. But this is what happens in Apex Legends. Sometimes new kids on the block or...
04:59:51 All kids on the block come back round and show us what they're made of. An amazing story for Lucie de France and especially for GoNex, two teams who weren't at the top after the winner's bracket throughout the LCQ, but they were still able to get on to match point and then win it thereafter.
05:00:05 Seeing some challenger teams show what they're made of has been amazing as well. And that leads me into North America, which is coming up next. We have nine challenger teams that are going to be competing in the LCQ lobby. So North America has got a lot more newbies, as it were, and we'll have to see how that one goes down. Yeah, one of the things I think is interesting is that we've seen a lot of North American teams show up traditionally in Atlanta. EMEA has been kind of left out. We're seeing a lot of resurgence in EMEA in terms of these.
05:00:34 But again, it's all a matter of who ends up taking the crown. It has been in a so far, a lot of the representatives already qualified. So we'll see who can join them. That's going to be coming up in just a little bit. In fact, in about an hour, we are going to see that NALCQ take place. It is 11.45 p.m. BST, 3.45 p.m. Pacific Time. That's...
05:01:02 my side of the world at 6.45 p.m. Eastern Time. So right before, right during dinner for a lot of you. So maybe grab some food, get something that you're ready to sip on and enjoy the action we've got unfolding. It's going to be another great Match Point Finals. We cannot wait to see you. Thank you so much on behalf of production, all of you watching in our community and all the players, whether you made it to championships or whether you were part of somebody else's journey getting there, we appreciate you and we hope to see you next year or
05:01:30 joining us in person at our championships in Birmingham. Grab your tickets, follow Play Apex Esports for information. My name is Randy. Remember to never give up, never stop gaming, and we will see you in an hour.
