ALGS Year 4 LCQ EMEA: Start des Turniers und Einführung der Hosts

00:05:25

00:05:25 ...to the Apex Legends Global Series. Today starts a four day marathon.

00:05:33 Hier in Mannheim, Deutschland. Das ist die größte Land in Apex-History. Du musst bereit sein, denn das ist die ALGS.

00:06:04 Das war's für heute.

00:07:15 für unsere Teams zu jetzt clinch ein Platz in der finalen Phase von Jahr 4. Heute ist die Last Chance Qualifier für die Champions und alles ist auf die Linie für unsere Squad. Mein Name ist Glitter Explosion und wir beginnen mit EMEA mit EMEA. So, wir bringen uns die Leute aus hier, die zu reden, um all die Aktion zu sprechen. Starting mit dem Mann himself, Dia.

00:07:37 LZ, Kiewitz, was you? Tell me your thoughts. I mean, like you said, very excited for the Last Chance Qualifier, the final opportunity for so many of these teams. Watching a lot of Challenger Circuit this split, it is fascinating to see how teams that have fought their way through so many rounds of the CC now finally get to decide, was this all worth it? Will they be making it to Japan or will they be going home empty-handed? That is the question all of our teams will be asking themselves here today. And up next we've got a very...

00:08:05 Ich bin sehr glücklich. Wie gesagt, ich bin jetzt hier. Ich bin sehr glücklich, als ich gesagt habe, wegen des Unfortunate circumstances, aber ich bin ein Teil der Apex Community wieder.

00:08:31 I think everybody is very excited to have you here with us, Graceville, excited to get your thoughts on how everything goes here for Emiya specifically. But speaking of Emiya, we're glad to have him back on the broadcast with us, especially when we're kicking things off with his favorite region, Zephyr. It's great to have you back, man. I feel like a child giving little treats and cookies when it comes to being allowed back and on, of course, Emiya at any given point. But I'm as excited as any one of you all.

00:08:59 Of course, with the LCQ being probably one of the most challenging tournaments that we ever host when we talk about the ALGS as a whole. So it's sure to be bang. It's going to be a really exciting day here today. And you guys keep hearing us talking about it. But LCQ, Last Chance Qualifier. All right, that's what our teams are trying to get through in order to compete at Champs. The culmination of the entire year's worth of competition. And recently...

00:09:29 was going to be taking place at our split two playoffs. So if you missed it, let's check out exactly what our teams are playing for.

00:10:19 Jäger aus der Kjohol-40-Jäger werden. Welche Team ist der Kjohol-Jäger?

00:10:59 in Japan before, but this is the first time that ALGS will be making their way to Japan. And you know, every single one of our teams competing in all of our regional LCQs wants to be there alongside everybody else in Japan. I think I could speak for all of us as well. When I say, Dia, we are very excited to be going there to end year four of the ALGS. We really are. And I bet...

00:11:24 A lot of Japan is, too. This has been one of the most popular, if not the most popular esport in Japan for a very long time. Everyone knows it. And so to be going to a country where ALGS is so incredibly popular is going to mean a lot to these players and hopefully to the Japanese fans that will finally be able to attend. Yeah, it's definitely going to be making history for sure. But speaking of a lot of these teams that we have.

00:11:51 Vielen Dank.

00:12:19 Ja, Reignite hier kommt in der letzte Strecke von Dawn. Picking up Matchpoint in die 7th Game und dann delivering a win.

00:12:44 Also a phenomenal player to represent there as well. Meteor, a handful team that has...

00:12:50 Their Trides and Tribulations alongside the Split 2 Pro lead in 15th place managed to keep it through. And like I said, one of the most challenging aspects of ALGS coming through, even into that second place position and keeping up on the day of regarding the points is tumultuous, especially given the fact that, well, they almost tied at 68. Of course, though, for APAC South here, it was kind of a surprise potentially to most of us. If you're fans of the APAC South region, you might not recognize.

00:13:20 das Roster hat.

00:13:21 Havoc kommt von der Challenger-Circuit aus. Das ist etwas, was wir wirklich erwarten, wenn wir über die LCQs sprechen. So viele dieser Teams haben die Zeit, die die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit, die Zeit. Aber ist es wirklich wert? Havoc hat das gemacht. Und mehr Deliverung, wie gesagt, in einer sehr similaren Situation zu Apaknorth. Sie kommen durch die Seventh-Game, mit einem Eight-Game-Win zu senden sich zu den Championshipen, mit X&Y.

00:13:50 And of course, you know, this is what we hope to get out of Challenger Circuit. This is the entire point. These teams moving their way up the competitive ranks, making it out of CC and then now qualifying themselves for champs. So this is the list that we showed you guys at split two playoffs. But after both of those regions have completed their competitions, that means four more teams are now added to the list of teams that will be playing on our global stage in Japan. And four more teams just being added.

00:14:19 Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute.

00:14:47 Ja, definitiv. All die heavy-hitters haben bereits durchgeführt, aber wir sehen uns neue Fasen kommen, und ich glaube, Challenger circelt alles durchgeführt. Es ist so eine gute Sache, weil es wirklich zeigt, dass jeder hat was es zu machen. Und jeder konnte es, und sie hat es gemacht. Und sie haben es geschafft, und sie haben es geschafft, und sie haben es geschafft, und sie haben es geschafft.

00:15:12 Es wird definitiv interessant sein, aber wir werden sehen, was wir seit fünf Jahren gesehen haben, ist, dass wir die Erfahrung und sich konsistenten haben, dich immer nach Hause bringen, oder werden wir noch neue Fasen sehen, wie wir in den letzten Lads gesehen haben, wie viele neue Fasen und Teams haben gewonnen. Absolut, ich denke, es wird interessant sehen, was sie bringen zu den Tafeln, weil sie eine gute Zeit haben, zwischen jetzt zu Qualifizieren und dann zu Prämpfen.

Roster-Änderungen, Matchpoint Format und Fokus auf Teamstrategien

00:15:36

00:15:36 Until the end of January. So lots of time for these teams to figure certain things out. Kind of work with the meta as it's shifting. As patches come out. I think it's going to be a very exciting LAN. But things are constantly changing. When it comes to Apex Legends. And the competitive scene in general. We're going to start talking about the teams we have participating here today. But specifically we need to talk about roster changes. Because the second our playoffs 2 LAN was done. We started to see changes here Zephyr.

00:16:06 Yeah, already right off the bat, we had a massive storyline, of course, with Slab there. And that's why you see someone like Tyler take that position on Go Next Esports. But for Slab, I mean, potentially on FaZe, then a switch up the very next day, then on to Forbidden here to compete at the very last second. This doesn't paint even the whole story. And as a result, an individual like JMW got the opportunity to fly in and take that spot for Slab.

00:16:35 The Flay's Clan coming into today. Shex, long time individual from ANC Outplay, making the jump to Eternal. Of course, Ardic.

00:16:42 Wir haben eine große Geschichte da, auf der FaZe-Clan. Sie hat es gut gemacht, ich würde sagen, für diese letzten Splits. Aber wir finden eine neue Haus, mit den Cybercats. Wir sehen uns hier mit unseren Squadern. Wir sehen uns was das für ihre Rosters, als sie in die Games hier sind. Wir sehen uns auf die Fülle Liste, auf die Mitglieder und die Teams, die wir jetzt gesehen haben, für die Roster-Changes. Talk to me about some other Potenzial-Other-Squads jumping out from the list.

00:17:11 I mean, just off the back of the roster changes, FaZe is a really interesting roster because of the fact that they've really got one of their original members from back when they were Made in Heaven, the other two still in the lobby today. And that'll be an interesting thing to track, given that we've got Taxington on Silly and, of course, Arctic on Cybercats. I'm really interested in Golem today because we saw that Challenger Circuit success story out of Apex South. Golem won. There are four Challenger Circuits. They won three of them.

00:17:40 So Golem are a dominant team in the Challenger Circuit, but Graceful, even I've talked about this a little bit before, there's a big difference between being successful in Challenger Circuit and being successful in a pro league environment. Yeah.

00:17:54 A lot of the time, you know, we have to think about the level difference, but not only that, but the rules difference, you know, being able to contest and stuff like that could definitely forge you in the fire or, you know, sometimes you fall short and you don't really get that much practice. But for me, the team that definitely stands out is DMS for sure, because, you know, I've known them for a long time, competed alongside them for the longest time, and they are looking really strong.

00:18:17 Now, I'm glad you brought that up here, Graceful, because you guys at home will see the LCQ rules here up on your screen. Now, it's a format that you're familiar with, but it's different from what we've recently switched to. We're going back to our old match point format. So we will have a minimum of six matches. If someone wins before six matches are done, the winner will drop out and we will continue on until we get at least a minimum of six games in the series. The top two teams will qualify through two champs.

00:18:44 But the biggest thing, like Graceville just mentioned, there is no POI draft, which means that contests are up for grabs. I know we haven't seen them in a while. I know some of you aren't a fan of them. Some of you are a fan of them. Graceville's already shaking his head now. But that really could shake things up from what we see when it comes to a playing perspective here, Zephyr.

00:19:10 Yeah, I mean, teams have gotten used to the changes with the POI draft system and especially being enabled, not just in the escape from contest, as both me and Grace were probably agreeing on this point, but also on top of that, being more eligible to dictate the way you play your macro when it comes to the earlier pickups of things like those drop spots. So that not being on the board here and us kind of getting back to maybe the kitchen where these at least players are cooking for what could be their position.

00:19:40 All right, well, Dia, I want you just to follow up on that, but also start talking to me about some of these teams and how that could potentially tie in. I want to hear a little bit more in depth some of the teams that you think could potentially be those top two making their way through to champs.

00:20:01 Yeah, I mean, first up on that list, I think we've got to put Go Next. Off of the back of these roster changes that we teased, Tyler slotting into this squad is pretty wild. Go Next, they're still trying to find their style. I think Koshira definitely struggled at LAN to put his IGLing together with what's going on in the meta right now. Tyler, still absolutely terrifying. And FaZe, of course, as well as we talked about, now swapped up quite a bit. Can Synetic keep going once you've replaced all the separate...

00:20:31 But parts of the ship, is this still the same ship? Is this still the Maiden Heaven that dominated the region and the zone play of it in seasons past? Graceful, how are you feeling about these first two rosters, especially with Gonext and PhaseCline? Yeah, I mean, for me, Tyler has also played with Kashira before, so Gonext specifically is looking strong because, like I told you about, you know, people were doubting Tyler back for the Alliance sub-in, and people might doubt...

00:20:57 Wie geht es mit Tyler für Gonex?

00:21:22 DMS in Full English as well. We didn't get as much time to talk about them, but are certainly squads to look out for. Very good on Edge is DMS. And Glitter, I think we've got a lot to look forward to from Full English as well. Absolutely. I think teams, those are squads that have some high expectations set for them. But let's talk about, on the flip side of things, are Challenger Circuit hopefuls? These teams, Zephyr, that could be making a name for themselves like we've seen in these other regions.

00:21:46 Wir starten mit Golem hier. Sie sehen, AimbotP, der 3D Maxx-Roster ist, der Notablie, noch in der Loser's Bracket, ist K.Y.L. Das ist die Team, die in den Winters und die Nr. 1-Ferformat zu erzeugen. Sie sehen, Liffen, als ein großes Name in der Szene, aber Janz und Kenryu, definitiv, noch versuchen, ein Platz zu erzeugen.

00:22:16 Für Team... Ah! Es ist Vaz, Vavis und Plexus. Sie werden die Vavis beherrschen. Vavis hat ein bisschen von der Geschichte auf die Pro-Roster-Aftermacht. Aber wir schauen an ein bisschen wie ein heavy CC-Team. Es ist ein Squad, der die sich direkt zu setzen sich auf. Vaz und Vidak, wie ich gesagt haben, unproven talents. Aber das ist immer die beste Sache, wenn man für Challenger Circuit schaut.

00:22:45 Das will happen in the whole stream. He just had to get it out of his system once. But we're moments away from getting into match number one, if I can just keep it together here. And before we do that, let's talk.

00:22:57 Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute. Das war's für heute.

FaceIt Watch, Makro-Strategien und Bedeutung der Anpassungsfähigkeit

00:23:26

00:23:26 All right. Well, Graceful, I'm going to take a moment to just plug this really quick because we talked about Face It Watch. Guys,

00:23:54 Pull up the map on FaceIt Watch, especially during today's games. Graceful and I both have it on our other monitor. It's definitely going to be how you're keeping track of what will be happening over the next couple of minutes. The map provides super important context. Yeah, definitely. You know, seeing...

00:24:10 Ring knowledge and other stuff like that, regardless of what team you want to be the POV on, is huge. Because you can see upcoming fights, you see macros, how are they going to intertwine against each other and whatnot. But the most important part is honestly just studying the macro. Because that's something every team has to do. And if you're getting consistently stuffed on the congested side, well, something might be going wrong. Sometimes it might not just be the pathing, it could just be the timing. Well, you know, who knows? VOD review. Watch the VOD.

00:24:39 And that macro is something that's really important in general when we're playing Apex, but I think especially on World's Edge, that is the most studied map in Apex competitive history. This is a spot where I would actually typically assume that teams that are more experienced in things like Pro League have an advantage. How can CC squads throw a wrench into those plans on the map that is arguably the most solved, Grizzly?

00:25:05 Ja, die Sache ist, wie wir vorhin schon erwähnt haben, CC ist sehr unterschiedlich von PL. Und ich denke, das könnte gut oder schlecht sein für beide Seiten der Teams sein. PL expecten die Teams zu spielen eine bestimmte Weise, wo CC-Teams kommen können, die sich eher mit dem Chaotik-Play-Style befinden, in Tier 2.

00:25:26 Und so, ich denke, ich würde gerne sagen, dass die CC-Teams kommen werden, dass es mehr von einem großen Impact zu wissen, wie die Spiele spielen. Oder sie werden etwas schneller adaptieren, würde ich sagen.

00:25:40 Ja, ich bin...

00:26:05 Die Sache ist, dass ich glaube, dass die Seite, wie eine Seite es ist, ein Team wird wahrscheinlich verletzt und verletzt.

00:26:12 Das ist nicht ein P.O.I., wenn du ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N. oder ein D.O.N.

00:26:37 Wir werden sehen, wie sie aus dem Spiel adaptieren können, weil wenn du auf einen PoI mit keinen Splitloot hast, ist es viel schlimmer.

00:26:45 And it's a very sharp contrast in these games versus those that have been played in the weekend following up to this. Some of you may have gotten the chance to catch previous rounds of the LCQ through some of the amazing watch parties that we had going on this weekend. But if you didn't, those were top 10. You just had to play through your group, make it into the top 10. At that point, dropping a zero point game is actually pretty forgivable. You can make it back up with one good game, make it into top 10, move on to the next round. And that is not the case here at all.

00:27:15 Yeah, that's a huge, like, you know, we didn't have this just recently and that's a huge buff that people really don't oversee because, like...

00:27:40 Du hast ein free Spiel für etwas zu passieren und du wirst nicht mehr Moral, wenn Dinge falsch sind, was andere Teams nicht mehr haben. Ich denke, es ist enorm, weil du sozusagen geteilt hast, weil du nicht mehr Angst hast. Du hast keine Angst, dass du nicht mehr Angst hast. Ich denke, jeder Team hat den Potenzial zu popfen und wenn du mehr Leben hast, dann fühlst du besser für die meisten von ihnen.

00:28:06 Und KYL wird nicht nur mit 10 Advanced Starting Points starten, aber auch auf Klimatizer. Ein wirklich gut P.O.I. auf World's Edge. DMS wird starten mit der Contest über den Countdown. Und Enhanced Aim, der Contest über den Survey. So eines der Top 3 Teams kam aus der Winner's Bracket, es ist KYL, die wir in der Gruppe haben, aber jetzt haben wir die Best Start. Aber wir schauen uns auf die andere Seite der Bracket, an die Teams kam aus Losers. Wir haben über Faisal ein bisschen. Ich möchte auf...

00:28:35 teams like golem and team listen as well golem as our challenger circuit aficionados coming out of this and then team listen who came out right behind them what do you make of squads that aren't coming in with the momentum that we talked about with kyl that do need a bit of a slower start but certainly a lot of good games to start things off right

00:28:57 Ja, es ist definitiv schwer zu sagen, weil wenn du sie nicht so viel gesehen hast und du sie nicht so viel gesehen hast, kannst du nicht wirklich versuchen. Aber ich würde gerne glauben, dass sie in ihrer eigenen Meinung sein müssen. Und manchmal musst du es fangen, bis du es geschafft hast. Und ich bin sicher, dass sie glauben, dass sie aufhören können. Und als sie glauben, dass sie sich aufhören und weitergehen. Sie sind hier für eine Reise. Das ist die Sache, die du musst aufhören und dann musst du...

00:29:22 The same way as LAN, it's the same way here. You just have to adapt to the lobby. Because some lobbies end up playing with 10 teams Circle 1 and some with 20 Circle 5. Regardless of how it is, you still have to adapt. So it just comes down to being flexible, I would say. And that adaptation, especially in the LCQ, happens so incredibly quickly. Especially looking at two of the teams that we chose to highlight earlier, GoNext and FaZe.

00:29:49 I'm really curious about how Sinetic and Koshera will end up changing things up, because they had to undergo massive shifts in the split-two playoffs to try and find a good spot, those IGLs really favoring Zone. And Zone just really isn't, when you're playing in the LCQ, a place to hell that gets favored that much. Yeah, I think that a lot of people, because of the way that when you play hard Zone, is that you're trying to...

00:30:14 You kind of read the opponents around you. You're like, okay, there's six teams here. We know how they play. That's why we know how to play in higher-level lobbies. But once it becomes a little bit messier, because you have to understand...

00:30:23 These teams that come from LZQ typically don't have managers, don't have analysts, don't have coaches, and they have to make the macro strategy on their own. It's not going to be as fleshed out as somebody that has a paid analyst that does it for them. And you can't really predict what they're going to do because, you know, they might be reading off somebody's VOD, but at the end of the day, it's how they do the split-second decision-making. And a lot of the times when you're like, they should be doing this and they do something completely different, you can get punished for making a...

00:30:51 Das ist ein guter Spiel, das du denkst, was passieren, aber es einfach nicht passiert. Denn am Ende der Zeit, was die Teams denken, ist das beste für sie. Das ist das, was sie machen, wenn du manchmal getrennt.

00:31:02 And that's where our Legend meta can actually help save teams a lot of the times as well. We saw, of course, a lot of Newcastle recently. Newcastle provides a lot of forgiveness, and we've seen a lot of Pathfinder in the Challenger Circuit and in the LCQ in a very different way, both enabling teams to pop off and relocate with relatively little risk. Yeah, Pathfinder definitely is one of the characters that helps you with macro because of the energized sip makes macro crazy good, especially mid to late game. Is that like...

00:31:30 So, wie gesagt, es macht 4-Ds, dass du vielleicht nicht gut mag, aber weil du hast Path, es ermöglicht dich, was du nicht mehr zu tun hast. Same mit Newcastle. Wenn Fights sind Sloppy, du kannst du Reset nur wegen der Legend-Pick. Und das ist was du gesagt über Legends, du musst du manchmal pick für was deine Weaknesses sein, eher als deine Strengths sein, um ein All-Around-Solid-Team zu sein, eher als hoher Highs und Low-Low. So, es ist gut, wenn du Charakter hast, wenn du kämpfst, wenn du kämpfst

Spielstart, Landeplätze und frühe Teamkämpfe auf World's Edge

00:31:59

00:31:59 Pick a character like Newcastle to help you reset a little bit easier and might be a little bit bulkier as a character individually.

00:32:06 Well, Graceful, the scene has certainly been set. We know what these teams can do to help their own playstyles, to move out of all these spots on World's Edge that, as we know, should be the place that all these squads are comfortable on. But now it's time to, in the words of a wise man, get comfortable being uncomfortable because the LCQ is starting right now. In our first game on World's Edge, we'll be dropping our players in for their first shot at making it to the ALGS Championships in Sapporo, Japan.

00:32:36 Und das ist alles, was alles zu tun ist, Graceful.

00:32:56 Ja, definitiv mit der Map-Size und der congestiven Chokes und was nicht. Das macht es so, dass es schwierig zu nehmen, weil die Makros immer mit uns sind. Man muss sich sehr clean und schnell sein, mit anderen Maps zu sein. Wir haben ein paar Touristen im E-District gesehen, wie viel mehr Platz ist. Und in Stormpoint auch, wenn man ein bisschen mehr Zeit hat. Ich weiß nicht, dass die Average stattfindet, aber wenn wir an Average haben, wie lange ein Spiel dauert, speziell auf World's Edge, ist definitiv...

00:33:25 Es ist definitiv ein kleinerer Window-Frame, um die Fortschritte zu verändern. Ich denke, du musst es clean sein, oder du musst es verletzen.

00:33:35 It's time to find out how clean our teams can be. It is just the first game, so I'm expecting some growing pains early on. But game one does it back to begin. The LCQs have kicked off, and I can't believe I get to say this graceful. But teams are dropping from the dropship once again. I'm not seeing anybody, again, on the map that you should be pulling up over on Faceit Watch. I'm not seeing anybody drop onto each other just yet. Even that...

00:33:59 Yeah, the thing is, is that, like we talked about, it's not really worth to take this whole donut off the get-go, and that can just snowball negatively for your team. However, on the flip side of things, DMS is not scared at all to fight. You know, I've been fighting them for so many years that they're more than comfortable to fight. And I think contesting, especially when it comes down to a 50-50,

00:34:29 Wer ist, in quotes, the stronger team always benefits of playing slowly, aka looting more. Because once it comes down to a 3v3, theoretically they should win every time. Whereas, like, if you're a little bit not that strong in fighting, and you might be the team that's considered the weaker, doing a heads-on 50-50 might be better if you're actually committing to the 50-50, because you can win off of RNG alone, right? But we'll have to see if other teams are willing to fight or not.

00:34:57 I mean, our RNG has certainly worked in some teams' favor more than others, especially with Silly going down that early. I mean, I am amazed to see a team dropping that fast, and that's after you said that fights tend to go faster over here on World's Edge. Taking a look at Epicenter, we've already got Team A starting to rotate out their composition, of course, including that Newcastle Pathfinder that we touched on earlier, and nobody's given up the utility that a Bangalore provides. I say that. We have actually seen some teams give up.

00:35:26 Ich denke, Bang ist eine Komfort-Picke. Ich denke, ich denke, Sie können immer wieder falsch sein. Ich finde, ich finde, die Teams, um die Tests zu testen, um sie zu testen, um sie zu testen, um sie zu testen, um sie zu testen, um sie zu testen. However, ich denke, dass, speziell zu Worlds-Edge, Bang ist viel stärker, um diese kleinen Micro-Movemöglichkeiten zu machen, wo ein Smoke ist genug.

00:35:51 Compared to bigger size map, like Stormpoint, where you can scout ahead a lot of the time, but in World's Edge, it could be hiding left and right.

00:35:59 Now, we've already got a lot of teams that have taken a look at this next zone. We're going to be moving over to Countdown, where DMS and 3D Max are already positioning themselves. DMS actually playing the outside of Countdown and setting up a really nice defensive angle here. This is a tough spot to push Graceful, and especially when you've got a Watson this early on, DMS could be setting themselves up for a fantastic late-game spot.

00:36:22 Ja, siehst du schon die Zone und siehst du schon ein Gottspot. Ich würde sagen, wo die Zone ist, sie sollten die Top 3 sein, wenn sie in ihrem Favoren sind, und Top 5, wenn sie nicht in ihrem Favoren sind. Ich denke, die Teams könnten noch ein Kampf machen, obwohl es schwierig ist, aber ich würde sagen, die WINDOW ist über 1 Minute. Wenn es mehr als ein Minute ist, dann kann man nicht mehr fighten für das, weil jeder ist schon hier.

00:36:47 E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E

00:37:16 Ja, es ist ein crazy Zipklamm, aber das ist die Kraft von ihm, dass du ihn zu machen kannst. Normalerweise, wenn sie einfach ran sind, jemand hätte es hier gemacht werden, aber das Path-Zip geht so weit, und auch der Fakt, dass du einfach nur auf die Krates kannst und es sofort sofort alles in der Nähe ist. Und Phase, als auch, kommt in Late, wird das terrifying sein, weil sie von Trial zu Skywest ging. Sie werden eher looted, als die Teams du schon gesehen hast, und das ist die Sache. Das ist die Sache, dass die Leute juggling zwischen Zon und Edge-Plays sind.

00:37:45 Das ist genau da, wo man sich die White-Optics auf einen G7-Scout und sagen, es wird ein bisschen schwer für DMS sein.

00:38:10 Yeah, this is one of the macros that's really hard. Like you see, they just came here, but everybody pretty much already set up. Now it comes down to surviving until other teams start fighting to where they can hold teams out. But surviving here until that happens is definitely very hard.

00:38:40 just watching that evo bar go on up a nice way to start things off with an emp 3d max actually positioned right next door to this fight with full english happy wraith one of the few i think it might even be the only wraith in the lobby but in a countdown zone like this maybe that little bit of extra mobility can be safe maybe just as safe as pathfinder yeah

00:39:03 100% Wraith exkells in diesen Momenten, wo man deep in die Center ist, und man kann wählen, wo man 3P ist. Wenn ein Kampf passiert, oder sogar auf einem Geburt, dann machen sie das safe TP play. Jetzt haben sie keine Loot, aber wenn sie ein Wraith TP haben, kann sie immer Loot werden. Sie müssen einfach nur das Loot werden, ob das 3P ist, oder ob das einfach nur All-In-Thing.

00:39:29 Triple Death Boxes sind bereits auf der Gounde, nur durch die Teefe und die Nades zu Teefe für die Loot. Das ist wirklich benötig. So das ist der primary spot, wenn du in eine Wraith-Player bist.

Strategische Teamentscheidungen, Zonenrotationen und Kämpfe um Positionen

00:39:39

00:39:39 Now, let us not forget that FaZe did have an early read on the zone. This is a typically zone-heavy team, but we did expect that they'd be playing things a little bit differently, and they are certainly doing that in our first round, not moving in from Sky West and instead rotating through Sky East, playing the edge of the zone, searching for kills, and FaZe already found one onto KYL. Yeah.

00:40:03 Ja, wie ich gesagt habe, sie werden schnell spielen und werden super-stackt und kommen in und swoopst alle, weil viele Teams, besonders... Sie haben sich zu wissen, was die Kaliber der Team-Face ist. Sie sind ein starker Contender für vielleicht zu gewinnen Land und jetzt mit Jey und former Land-Champ als auch. Ich denke, sie sind mehr als confidente, dass sie alle 3-3 in diesem Kampf können. Vielleicht gegen ein oder zwei Teams, sie werden vielleicht sogar noch mal gehen.

00:40:29 Das Stick sollte ein Reset machen können. Er ist noch sehr low, mit nur einem White-Knockdown-Shield. Serdell wird noch ein paar Fences geben, eine Arch-Star, ein bisschen mehr Utilität zu geben. Die Full-Englisch ist bereits so viel von diesem, dass vielleicht ein paar andere Teams kommen können, auch. Es wird sich sehr schwierig machen. Du musst diese Rez auf diese Rez auf einen Moment machen, und die Arch-Stars einfach immer weiter zu geben. Das ist nicht ein guter Platz für Full-Englisch zu sein, weil sie das Rez haben, es kostet sie so viel.

00:40:56 Das ist das, was ich schon gesagt habe, ist das, dass hier, wenn jeder bereits aufgebaut ist, ist das nur was sie müssen. Once sie überlebt, ich würde sagen, zwei mehr Zonen, das ist dann, wenn sie eigentlich spielen können, weil jetzt 3D Max nicht mehr werden kann. Aber jetzt können sie nur, weil sie auch eine Wrafe haben, weil sie, you know, DMS war über den Blick auf sie, aber es war eine gute Möglichkeit, aber es gab nicht die Thürste, glaube ich.

00:41:21 Team, listen, you go down meanwhile. That's our squad in 19th after our first game.

00:41:26 Gonext still holding onto the height in Landslide, they've got next ring and importantly there's a ring console here for Gonext so playing out of Landslide they should be able to hit that get some information moving into the late game full anglish search for another fight are playing aggressively and like you talked about playing the macro of this specific spot pretty well you do need to create space for yourself because if other teams feel comfortable stepping up moving over to you that's where you really getting into a lot of trouble

00:41:55 Ja, definitiv, und sie haben einen guten Job, so far zu machen, die Angle zu können, sie können sie schießen und versuchen zu spazieren, auf beide Seiten zu spazieren. However, wenn die Teams entdeckt werden, dann 3-P und 4-P können instantanisch passieren, weil es literally vier Teams zu spazieren, innerhalb von 25 Metern aus dem anderen.

00:42:13 This central zone area over by Countdown should be, for all intents and purposes, relatively peaceful. But up here in the north, where FaZe Clan are at, you know that they're going to be picking a fight. Pointless is right across from them, here in Skyhook. And when we look a little bit further down, we know that we've got that traffic jam of Go Next, ANC Outplayed, and Cybercats all sitting over by Landslide. So the north and south end of this zone should be where we see our next squads falling.

00:42:39 Ja, definitiv, sie warten und dann für eine 3-2-3 Wettbewerb. Es ist typisch, wenn du in der Lobby bist, und sie zeigen, wie stark sie sind. Wir sehen, ob sie können mehr Teams haben, aber ich habe keine Angst. Synetik nicht benutzt, dass sie einen großen Gehälder nehmen. Das ist das, was es fühlt sich an, wenn du Nags und Synetik benutzt hast, als ein Blunt-Force Weapon.

00:43:06 Already an EMP has gone out, and the teams do trade places, but while Catch goes down, it's FaZe that is slowly but surely chipping away at Pointless. Yeah, you know, not even counting Akimbo Mosi right there being really strong. I think any weapon, even with P20s, they probably would have mopped them, because when you're playing like that, you're getting completely engaged on, and you're only being reactive. Oh my god, they're EMPing us. Oh my god, let's run out of the bottom floor.

00:43:32 At some point you're going to get caught. You have to be playing proactively all the time is what I say. Because when you let teams do what they want to you, they just end up mopping you. Now 3D Max going down, that's a bit of a surprise to me. FullEnglish ended up picking a fight with the team that was next to them on low ground and they lose Fanex and Cracked for it. Serdell's still alive, but I don't see Serdell surviving for too much longer. His squads are already looking for engagements this early into the zone.

00:44:00 Das ist was ich auch gesagt, dass wenn sie das Spiel erstellen, werden sie einen 3-peat werden, entweder bei DMS oder ich glaube es war Bazar's Team von dem Right als auch. Sie haben definitiv getötet. Sie vielleicht haben die 3-kills getötet, aber ich glaube nicht, dass man das Spiel aussehen möchte, als Solo spielen. So, wir hätten das mal review, wenn das Spiel war. Aber ich glaube nicht, dass es ein Solo ist.

00:44:23 Ja.

00:44:52 The funny thing that I notice right now, Dia, do you notice that all the heavy hitters of the lobby is playing Edge because they're that confident in winning 3v3s? And we've seen all of them pretty much win the 3v3s as well. I think DMS is the only one, but that's because they had the zone on their forehead that they're not going to play Edge, which is the most typical fighting style if they like to fight.

00:45:11 Aber wir sehen definitiv ein Trend, dass die Teams, die confidenten, consistent sind und haben gespielt seit langem, die sich aufhören. Und andere Teams vielleicht beherrscht, oder sie vielleicht beherrscht in den Kampf, ich weiß nicht. Die Valkyrie-Kommunity weitergeht vor K.Y.L.

00:45:27 Ja, das ist...

00:45:56 Das war großartig, das kleine Mikromanage zu machen, um zu den Tower zu halten und zu halten, um einen auf dem Tower zu machen, um sie nicht zu werden. Das ist, ehrlich gesagt, Textbook Play, und ich bin super stolz. Das zeigt so viel promise. Wenn sie das Calm-Level-Headed-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-Level-

00:46:22 Das ist die Frage, ob Sie die Higran erhalten können. Es ist wirklich schwierig in dieser späteren Spiel, denn jetzt müssen sie über die ganze Welt über den Countdown über die Enhanced Aim finden sich quasi in der Mitte der Zone befinden. FaZe Clan ist auch in einem fantastischen Ort, aber das ganze SOUTH-SIDE der Map, Praiseful. Das ganze SOUTH-SIDE der Map, wenn Sie Ihre Team sehen, start zu sagen, Prayers!

00:46:45 Ja, definitiv. Das ist das, was wir sagen, eine congestive Seite. Wir haben jetzt die Möglichkeit, ob wir jetzt YOLO in den Zentren-Zone haben, wo wir keine Ahnung haben, was passiert ist, oder wir versuchen, eine Seite zu entfernen, wo es literally vier Teams auf dem Westen gibt, und zwei Teams auf dem Westen gibt. Sie wissen, dass die Zeit nicht wirklich hat, und die Zeit ist ticking. Sie müssen jetzt machen, denn je nachdem, dass die Entscheidung nicht mehr Zeit machen, bedeutet weniger Zeit zu kämpfen.

00:47:12 They're already taking a few shots at each other, but nobody really committing just yet. It does look like we've got Arctic and Micey starting to make their way in as Atlas set up the new castle wall in a defensive corner. Atlas have almost no HP to work with, and the Mastiff at short range is only going to make that a little bit more comfortable. We'll see if they can survive the next couple of seconds as a nade starts to pour in here. Atlas have very little spots to play.

00:47:39 Evac Tower ist weg. Will sie eigentlich nehmen sie in der nächsten Zone? Weil sie nicht mehr Zeit haben. Wenn sie eine Nade haben, sie können sie nehmen. Aber ich denke, es ist ein bisschen riskierend. Sie entscheiden nicht, ich glaube. Fortschritte sind in der gleichen Gebäude, mit Eternal zu haben, ich glaube.

00:47:54 Und die 3-P, ja.

00:48:13 Cybercats ist super proaktiv. Es ist nichts weniger wert.

00:48:30 Ich habe mit Arktik gespielt in diesem Tournament gespielt und er ist sehr proaktiv, als ein Person und ein Individuum. Ich denke, dass sie etwas hier gefunden haben, dass die Leute nicht nachzudenken sind. Und ich denke, dass sie proaktiv sind in Game 1 zeigen, dass es gute Proaktivität in den nächsten Spielen gibt.

00:48:50 Our kings of Challenger Circuit. Golem make a full rotation in the eyes of Go Next. Krabershot not connecting. Does mean that Tyler doesn't pick up the kill for now, but Go Next get a nice spot in this corner. It's not in zone just yet, but it should allow them to prepare for the next zone. Red Shield's already on Tyler. Purple.

00:49:09 Ja, definitiv. Der einzige Problem hier ist, wenn...

00:49:26 Es kommt an, wenn die Zone ist, auf welchen Team ist, auf welchen Team ist, auf welchen Team ist, weil wenn man einen Kampf auf einen Fall hat, wenn man einen Fall hat, wenn man einen Fall hat, wenn man einen Fall hat. Aber mit dieser Armour-Advantage, sie sind definitiv, sie sind nicht auswählen, das ist sicher. Für alle haben einen Reden Weapon. Azuz hat eine Bow, Prestes hat eine Kraber, Tyler hat eine Kraber, sie sind alle auf der Ebene dieser Seite. Da ist viel Druck von diesem Angeln.

Kreative Waffen, Catalyst-Mauern und riskante Ballon-Plays

00:49:53

00:49:53 Ich finde definitiv das Kreative Weapons ist eine große Power-Spike. Und in den Händen der Spieler, wie du gesagt hast, ist es verrückt sein, zu sein zu sein, und zu sein, zu sagen. Denn diese Teams sind auch die Teams zu sehen, wie wir sehen hier. Es ist definitiv ein schwerer Walk-In.

00:50:10 Teams that do have Catalyst, maybe things get a little bit more comfortable. Cybercat's actually using an opposing Catalyst wall to make a quick rotate in Arctic, gets caught on an LOS, but manages to get away with the grapple. Cybercat's still not playing a great position, but there are few enough sightlines on them that they're gonna be okay, where teams like Empire...

00:50:30 Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

00:50:52 The fact that Cybercats was on triple blue and they're winning this fight due to literally ult placements and utility is just so good. Like they just upgraded armors and got weapons now as well. If they can get this reset properly, it's crazy.

00:51:05 That was incredibly smart. Very nicely played from Cybercats. Now they are still in a really rough position and without a Catalyst wall. So you do need to get a few Ultimate Accelerants into Catalyst if you want to make your rotation into this next zone. Because FaZe Clan will keep you honest either way. Cynetic.

00:51:23 Ja, sie sind da der ganzen Spiel, und sie sind gut so weit. Die letzten Spiele sind jetzt auf der anderen Seite, die Teams auf der anderen Seite wollen, entweder mit einem Bangle, oder mit einem Wallpacement, oder etwas anderes.

00:51:48 We'll have to see what happens, but I have no doubt that one of the teams up top should win unless it becomes really messy into a 2v2 trade. We'll see here. The fight is coming up right now. Faze uses a nice zipline to just close the distance. They don't have to get too fancy just yet, but Nags completely ignoring that directive is going to move on to try and wipe out a squad. Does take out Falcons, could make it another as he's only taken 20 damage so far.

00:52:12 ... ... ... ...

00:52:26 Definitely. Messy enough, it was indeed, for Forbidden came in swinging, and they just cleaned that up really clean. The thing is, is that when you have a fight when a zone is ending like this, no downs can happen. You have to prioritize staying alive rather than winning the fight. However, they got punished, and that just shows proactiveness from Forbidden is great. However, Cyber Cat's now in a tough spot. Using the Pathfinder Ultimate to set them up for a rotation on the high ground, will they actually try and fight Forbidden? I don't...

00:52:55 I don't really see this as possible. However, when Forbidden eventually do have to drop, who will end up winning the game? Golem and Cybercats are not interested in fighting each other. It's Forbidden that has to decide who they will engage with. Evac Tower on the low ground can stall that decision. They're thinking about it, and being smoked off doesn't give Forbidden a lot of choices. EMP is going to be critical. Out comes the Evac. Forbidden need to stay in the sky. EMP is going to find a little bit of purchase. Now where did Forbidden go?

00:53:23 Ja, ich bin auf die Balloon. Ich bin nicht ein Fan von Balloon-Place in generell. Es ist gut, aber es funktioniert. Aber das ist... Das ist scary. Ich glaube nicht. Ich werde mich in den letzten Kampf geben. Slut drops, Handic-Nein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein-Ein

00:53:52 Und es ist...

00:54:21 I think later on in the tournament, we could look at that same play and go, that's actually pretty good. Because playing for the win will be important in Matchpoint. But right now, as you identify, playing for points seems to be the big thing. Because you need to at least hit 50 points if you want a chance of coming out first. Exactly. Playing for points and understanding just a tournament isn't just a tournament. There's different phases. The same way as we're looking for the teams that get to Matchpoint, teams that aren't on Matchpoint and are far away are starting to...

00:54:49 go full on Pepega mode, aping, griefing everyone, because they have to drop a nuke to win the tournament. And that happens later on as well. So you have to adapt as you go along the way. Right now, playing for points is the way because you need to hit match points. After that, we can talk about balloon plays, hiding a little bit, maybe ratting, etc. But for now, stacking points is all that matters. So forbidden, you know, maybe they could dial up the aggression a little bit. Still really good play to take out phase on the high ground. I think it was a nice...

00:55:16 Identification of weakness there, and that's something that all of our teams did very well. Even Golem, who on the low ground took that spot early, have played out the first game excellently. They do end up getting themselves a third place finish, but in reality this is a little bit lower, with teams like FaZe and GoNext picking up a lot of kills that have put them much higher in the standings.

00:55:38 Ja, ich sehe so viele Kills von Gonex in Phasen, das ist zu erwartet. Ich denke, alle denken das so. Die einzige Sache, dass ich mich an das, ich gar nicht mehr interessiere, dass ich mich an die Teams, die, ihr wisst, die Donut, oder ein Low-Gain-Point haben. Ich bin auf DMS. Sie sind in einem Spot, wo sie sich garantiert mehr Punkte als 6, in meiner Meinung nach. Und, ihr wisst, dass sie ein paar Punkte verloren haben. Und, ihr wisst, dass sie ein paar Punkte verloren haben. Und, ihr wisst...

00:55:59 Good teams can still bleed is a good eye-opener for every other team that hey maybe face and go next is you know a little bit strong but everybody else in the lobby is fair game.

00:56:09 I mean, I'm going to throw Eternal in there as well, who landed over at Fischer, who had the early zone read. You don't see them in these top three as Cybercats, Forbidden, and Golem all end up there. Forbidden with the least damage of the three squads, but still a respectable amount given the kills that they were able to grab. And Forbidden weren't exactly playing like Cybercats were around the edge looking for kills either. Forbidden were playing a very zone-oriented game, and they did well with it.

00:56:36 Ja, ich denke, sie sind gut. Und wie du gesagt hast, das 3-P-A-N-2-Face-at-heide war großartig. Aber du musst du das durch den ganzen Spiel und nicht nur einmal. Wir sehen uns wie oft sie können. Wie gesagt, Forbidden ist bereits zu spielen für Matchpoint. Kann sie eigentlich zu Matchpoint? Wer will sie da sein? Wir finden nach dem nächsten Mal.

Spielverlauf und Teamstrategien in der ALGS LCQ EMEA

00:58:43

00:58:43 Our time, Graceful, as game one's concluded. We've already got teams like Forbidden, teams like CyberCast starting things off very well, and Golem right underneath them. We are just on the journey towards match point, and nobody's really that close yet. To be completely honest with you, we've got a ways to go. Yeah, definitely the points, you know, although some teams have a lot of points, I think that it's still kind of...

00:59:08 Ich würde sagen, Top 5 ist immer noch immer. Und das war nur Game 1. Wir haben viele Spiele zu gehen. Und ich freue mich auf all das, weil ich hoffe, dass einige Teams wachsen. Und wenn nicht auf World's Edge, auf least auf Story. Let's take a look at the Endzone.

00:59:28 As Forbidden did have a difficult choice to make. Would they drop down early? Would they try and stall things out? We saw them take an interesting play. One that not a lot of teams, especially over at Split 2 Playoffs, chose to take. And that was stay in the air as long as possible. Reminding me of Valkyrie metas from times past. Slab actually pulled this off pretty well. Abu doing much the same, as both did eventually have to drop. But they managed to off the back of this.

00:59:53 Ich glaube, es ist das Problem, wenn Abu, die drei Mitglieder der Cybercats sind, und alle drei Mitglieder der Cybercats sind noch immer wieder. Das ist, wenn ich nicht in deinem Falle sage, weil ich sage, wenn du ein bisschen mehr Zeit hast,

01:00:13 und vielleicht CyberCats verlieren oder zwei, da ist ein wirkliches Weg. Es ist jetzt unser erstes Spiel auf World's Edge und wir werden uns in der zweiten Spiel zurückkehren, wo wir vielleicht noch etwas ganz anders sehen können, als Countdown ist nicht ein sehr typischer Zone-Poll, das wir wiedersehen. Es ist nicht wie Klimatizer, wo wir manchmal einfach nur Klimatizer gehen, drei Games in a row werden.

01:00:35 Ja, definitiv nicht Klima, nicht der typische Skywest. Ich hoffe, wir sehen uns ein bisschen mehr. Ich habe viel scrimmiert und ich hoffe, wir sehen uns vielleicht ein bisschen Stag, etwas Süd-East. Aber wie du gesagt hast, definitiv, du musst für Poizze spielen jetzt in den Spiel 2, ich glaube. Weil die Team, die Dropped Doughnuts sind schon auf ein schlechtes Start. Aber ich denke, dass wenn du ein schlechtes Wirds-Edge hast, kannst du auch ein Wake-Up-Call auf Stormpoint. Weil einige Teams, wie du wissen, sind viel stärker auf verschiedenen Maps.

01:01:05 Das ist sicherlich. Als man sich die Transition macht, besonders auf Teams, die sich ein bisschen heavier auf Kills verändern, sieht das positiv aus wie sie endet spielen, wenn wir in den Runden kommen, wie du gesagt, auf Stormpoint. Das ist wo Teams, wie Golem, die sich über 60% von Golem gibt. Ja, 60% von Golem's Points kommen von Kills.

01:01:32 Und so, wenn wir zu Stormpoint haben, es gibt ein bisschen mehr Zeit, ein bisschen mehr Zeit für 3-V-3s. Das ist das, was wir sehen, squads wie das wirklich excelten. Faze, ich denke, wir können auch für da, dass sie bereits auf World's Edge haben, die Demons in Edge sind.

01:01:49 Speaking of kills, the heavy hitters are just dropping. I think we saw a few 10 plus kill games here from the strong heavy hitters in this lobby. And I think that you kind of have to mismatch because it also depends on zone. If the zone was on top of them, some teams that want to play edge, like DMS as an example, couldn't play edge. Could this affect other teams? And we'll see with the zones now being...

01:02:13 Roughly around the same area of the side of the map, you know, a little bit more north, northwest it looks like. Maybe a little bit more into Skyhook. Will we see a repeat of the top five teams from last game, or will we see new people now coming in? Remains to be seen. Bit of a party here for Ah. Silly also have survived a whole lot longer than they did last game.

01:02:33 Epicenter and Survey now actually effectively split, with Enhanced Vane moving over towards Survey and Silly getting all of Epi 2 themselves. Empire starting off over by Thermal are going to have a zone read, but I said we probably weren't going over towards Countdown, and I will say, this looks like a little bit more of a northern pole, but it's not as far from Countdown as I might have otherwise expected, Graceful. Yeah.

01:02:54 Ja, das war die alten, wie ich sagen, 4-5 Patches ago. Das würde es enden auf den Countdown Slope. Aber jetzt, ich sehe viele Zones in Skyhook. Ich denke, viele Teams sind glücklich, besonders Zone Teams, weil es viel mehr playable sind für Zone Teams gibt. Es gibt so viele Builder, so viele Crooks und Corners, die man kann, comparativ zu Countdown, wo man nur drei, vier, fünf Teams spielen in einem Safe Spot und die resten sind, dass...

01:03:20 So let's talk a little bit about this idea of teams that get the zone coming to them.

01:03:39 und sollte es arbeiten. In diesem Spiel ist es ETHERNAL, DMS, Punktless, Enhanced Aim, und Phase, alle haben Ring Scan oder etwas akin zu haben, und sind eigentlich bereits in Skyhook. Diese sind die Teams, die Ihr Top 5 sind, in theory, in der nächsten Hälfte von heute.

01:03:58 Ja, ich denke, dass YOLO-Balloon direkt in eine Person ist, dass wir uns auf die Leute sehen, wie sie spielen können, wenn sie die Möglichkeit haben, die extra Informationen und die Positionierung zu machen. Ja, ich denke, dass YOLO-Balloon direkt in eine Person ist, dass wir es auf der Live-Masche haben.

01:04:17 Vielen Dank für das.

Strategien für Zonenpositionierung und Teamzusammensetzung in Apex Legends

01:04:43

01:04:43 Wenn du Zon auf dich hast, musst du spielen und lernen, wie die Team auszuhalten. Playing Power Spots ist das, was ich so nennen, um diese Punkte zu bekommen. Und nicht nur in Godspot zu bleiben. Du musst, obwohl du ein Godspot hast, musst du trotzdem pro-Aktiv sein. Du musst für Kills, wie bei der Wraith-Team. Vielleicht ein Yolo TP auszuhalten. Du musst für Angles und Lupin Kills.

01:05:04 Oh, graceful. I like the idea of bringing in YOLOs in Match 2 already. You know what? We just gotta send it. But you're right. I mean, the attitude is correct. Even if the words are very 2000s. Because a YOLO really can help you every once in a while. But a team like ANC Outblade, I think they'll have a little bit less to deal with of this. Or a team like Listen, and I know what you guys are thinking. Yes, that is a Vantage Newcastle Ash.

01:05:33 This is not some crazy meta read that Team Listen have. They've just been playing this composition for a very long time. We see them in a couple challenger circuits. No matter the meta, no matter what time it is, Team Listen love their Vantage Ash Newcastle. The thing is, Team Listen, I know all of these players that have been playing as a team for a long time, right? And I've seen strongest Coomer and Plom.

01:05:55 I don't doubt the legend. So this is the thing. You can make any legend really work. We're talking about consistency though. In 100 games, can you fit that legend into all the games to be valuable? Or is it just one... If it's only 10 pop-off games out of 100, is it worth across the board? But when we're talking about match point games...

01:06:15 Those comps, well, I'm referring mainly to Vantage rather than Ashe, can definitely help you rack up points, because can you get into a spot where you're just gatekeeping people with that ultimate? Easy cleanup for downs, and you can get a bunch of points. But the real question comes down to, you know, coming from CC or even Tier 2, is do you know how to adapt your playstyle to Legends? And this is one thing I see a lot of the times is teams don't change playstyle according to Legends, because...

01:06:43 Und jetzt, wenn du sie mit einem, dann geht es um, aber es gibt noch mehr Änderungen zu das, ehrlich. Und besonders mit der letzten Patch, ich glaube nicht viele Leute haben die Chance zu spielen gegen Vantage. Vantage kann 2-tap Blue Shields an dieser Stelle, welches ist wirklich effektiv in der Mid-Game. Du hast über Gatekeeping gesagt, und natürlich, bei jedem Punkt, die unglaubliche Anzahl der Vantage, die Vantage bringt, ist gut, aber besonders in Mid-Game, wenn du in der Mid-Game findest.

Spielphasen, Teamverhalten und unerwartete Spielzüge in Apex Legends

01:07:12

01:07:12 A team to sit in front of, kind of like Fat Kid Community were able to last game, you can grab a few kills, a few cheeky points, shall we say, because already at this point in the game, we have had a pretty slow one. A lot of teams, despite poking at each other, are sat in Skyhook, which is a much easier place to find buildings in that give you safety during the early game. I think what it promises us Graceful is a much bloodier mid-game.

01:07:38 Yes, so we already saw the early game and most of the teams are already set inside Skyhook. We're now looking at the mid game where the teams that are half speed rotating towards the zone looking for isolated fights essentially are coming in. Even though rolling teams recognizing that hey this might be congested we should probably look to get out before we get pinched between too many teams because the wave after the mid...

01:07:58 ist Late-Teams und Late-Teams sind die Schwerste, denn sie sind die Schwerste, sie sind die Schwerste, sie sind die Schwerste, sie sind die Schwerste, sie sind die Schwerste, sie sind die Schwerste, sie sind die Schwerste, sie sind die Schwerste, sie sind die Schwerste, sie sind die Schwerste, sie sind die Schwerste, sie sind die Schwerste.

01:08:21 Let's see if they find a landing spot. We're heading straight in. Atlas saying, you know what? We don't think any teams are going to be able to put up a good enough defensive position in these buildings. They land right on top of one, and we'll see how well they're able to survive. Black Venom does go incredibly low. This is a risky play. This is graceful. This is the YOLO play from Atlas. It is a YOLO play, but it's somehow turning out positive. They actually got it down because of second EP, I mean, not from...

01:08:50 von Slabseam, oder Forbidden, hier. Und sie wurden getötet für ihn, das ist verrückt. Du musst dich bereit sein, wenn du das Ballon sehen kannst. Ich bin ehrlich gesagt, dass sie nicht mehr Pro-Aktiv sehen können. Ich sehe, das letzte Mal fürbidden. Der 2nd-Place Team von Game 1 wird 20 in Game 2 fallen in Game 2. A huge blow to them, als sie bleiben mit ihren 17 Punkte, die sie in der ersten Match bekommen haben. Atlus, auf der anderen Seite.

01:09:19 This was crazy. I'd say a bit disrespectful of a play to move in and say, I bet we can take this fight, but they could, so it works. Yeah, I think a little bit of Lady Luck was on their side for sure, because they got the second EMP from the team next door, I believe, that helped them catch.

01:09:37 Oh, das war schwer.

01:09:59 It won't actually make ANC Outplayed go down just yet. Or maybe I spoke too soon. That's a push coming out immediately. Still is he. Going to be healing in this corner. I think you get the bat off, but it's going to be just in time. As Bot does slide in and take the knock back head community. Know that they've got a team weak in front of them. And there is no forgiveness for ANC Outplayed. Even off the back of this zipline. It does look like at least one member of ANC Outplayed gets to live. But that is a temporary status.

01:10:28 The fact that they had this godspot, essentially, to rotate, but still stay that active, PatK community looking hella strong, but that's only also because Crypto enables you to go off of that down with the EMP, because you get walls and also you have the EMP, so they slow down everybody and do damage, is that you can actually engage on that. Normally, like you said, this should be safe, right? Crypto makes that not. That makes it risky regardless, because they need this EMP and APU.

01:10:58 Two things that you've always got to be wary of, especially in the LCQ, is Crypto and a confident team. We had a good mix of both there. Full English actually encountering one themselves as, again, a second EMP on this fight forces Full English out of it. Cracked with 50 health, does manage to survive, and a Phoenix will make that a little bit easier. But this ring is getting very chaotic as 18 squads are left, and Full English do have to find a way to get active. They've only got one kill.

01:11:28 So far sitting in north side zone They've got a really good spot if they want to play sit here and play for positioning, but that's not all you need in the LCQ No, definitely not like we said about staying proactive only one kill is not enough to gather point because we're not looking at top ten and we're looking for match points You need to be stacking those points up together being in this spot is not bad as long as they can play space and stay proactive like we've seen from fat kid community correct where it's like

01:11:55 If you're just sitting in there, not doing anything, and a team gets to walk up on your house to make a play on you, like we saw earlier, then playing here might not be the play. If that's your playstyle, you might be more suited for Edge being the one engaging, because you cannot, with all these cryptos in the lobby, I repeat, you cannot be the team that continuously gets engaged on.

Teampositionierung, risikoreiche Manöver und strategische Fehler in Apex Legends

01:12:16

01:12:16 Now, while we're sat up here with Fullenglish, we've got a fight Broon with Pointless and DMS stacked right on top of each other in the center of Skyhook, but my real focus has got to be towards the south side of this map. Take a look at the ring and how far it is pulling north. The team like Fullenglish, especially Empire and Silly, have really good spots for now. Silly with a big burden on them for how well they'll be able to hold on, but a squad like Golem, looking a little further north, go next.

01:12:44 CyberCats, diese sind Teams, die wollen und müssen in den nächsten nächsten Minuten. Oh, speaking of fighting. Ah! Wir werden sehen, dass die Backend ist in der Trevance. Und es scheint zu sein, dass sie sicher sind. Aber ich denke, die größte Veränderung hier ist, dass... Oh, es geht um den Wallen. Wir werden sehen, ob wir nicht so. Ich denke, die größte Sache hier ist, dass...

01:13:09 Why did everybody read a song going south rather than north is my opinion. Yeah, but certainly a bit odd and perhaps not a lot of Ring consoles available in the Ring 3 sort of stages of this game. Empire, do hold on. Like you said, I managed to reset because the only thing crazier than landing here would be pushing it. So...

01:13:32 Managed to stay alive, and with a Kraber in hand, this still could turn into a good game for them. Yeah, definitely. The fact that they managed to reset due to, I would also say, due to Bang and Nukat, specifically with the reset power of Smokes and Shields, etc., is a huge benefit. Now, every team on the south needing to rotate. The congested side is the south.

01:13:54 Wo wir sehen andere Teams wie DMS, Empyre Full English und FaZe spielen Power Spots, weil sie nicht in die All-In-Positionen spielen, wo sie mehr geht, sondern nur prayscht, dass es auf sie geht.

01:14:07 A lot of buildings are taken, a lot of buildings will be fought for. Atlas kicking that off right now in their engagement up against FaZe, setting up a Newcastle wall, just like they did earlier. They move into a building, they immediately Newcastle wall and try and play to capitalize on mistakes. Atlas doing this excellently right now, but FaZe not making mistakes on the other side. Yeah, seeing them just say, hey guys, two-minute teams are on us.

01:14:31 Ich glaube, sie sind auf Heid, und sie machen es gut. Aber sie sind jetzt auf der Umgebung für die Zukunft. Will sie sein, mit vier Teams spielen PATH, alle auf der gleichen Seite mit Newcastle? Definitiv ein schwerer. Sie müssen beide Teams beherrschen, oder werden die anderen Teams beherrschen. Und all das ist wirklich schwierig für diese Zone, speziell.

01:14:54 Looks like we're performing a catalyst ritual with how many ziplines we've got moving up to this jump tower. Go Next, take it. And I'll be honest with you, I have no idea where they're going to land. Sitting right on top of the full English right now. It does look like they've got temporary safety, but Kashira is not included in that statement. Does Noto, does take them down. Pushing Go Next is tough.

01:15:18 Ja, aber diese Zip-Line play, ich denke...

01:15:47 The idea is correct of getting ahead, but this fight is more than risky because yes, you get shot from every angle, from market, from the dual house and also the actual team you're fighting. I think this might have ended up just being a grief on both sides sadly, but they tried and I think at least they had being proactive in their mind, which is a good thing.

01:16:07 Und Mobil-Shield kommt wieder zurück, um Plex zu heilen. Team Listen zu machen, um zu den Top und in der Mitte von Skyhook zu gehen. Team Listen zu machen, um ein bisschen weiter zu machen, um die Vantage zu machen. Mit Vollenglish jetzt zu fallen, wir sind Team nach Team. 13 Quads zu machen, und Team Listen zu machen, um ein Ash Portal zu finden.

01:16:34 We're essentially in what Phase was, where they're on the congested side right now, and they need to either get ahead or they need to clean their side. And now, we were talking about Vantage positive parts and strengths, you know, being able to pick things off when you get ahead. Now you don't have that space anymore to where you snipe. Most of the fights are gonna be Mozambique range or AR range, so will the Vantage pick really help them out? I'm starting to have doubts in that regard. Early on, mid-game is great, late-game, not as much.

01:17:02 Gut of a utility thrown out by Atlas to get them more time, more safety. Mobile Shield and Newcastle, while both being incredibly effective at keeping Atlas alive in this corner of the building. Now the rest of Cybercats do start to move down, taking space towards this north side of the zone. It is just Arctic who is sat in between Market and the building where Atlas are currently fighting. Eternal will fall, and Atlas still have an engagement ahead of them as Enhanced Aim go down as well.

01:17:31 Ja, das ist definitiv rough. Jeder ist einfach nur am Ende. Das macht es sogar einfacher für die Teams, wie Silly, zu gatekeep sie. Aber sie sind nicht... Sie haben sich nicht gesehen, wenn all die Fights waren. Sie waren zu gehen und wurden geteilt und geteilt für ihn. Und das ist eine Sache, was ich nicht da. Die Awareness war nicht da. Sie wurden geteilt für ihn. Das ist definitiv ein Back-to-the-Drawing-Board-Situation.

01:17:53 Und in most cases, I'd be looking at this and going, Newcastle's still alive. It's fine. It's not fine. So many teams are getting very aggressive right now. Cybercats, unfortunately, the victims of that as Atlas continue to push forward, taking out as Golem fall down. Yet another squad is going to fall soon.

01:18:10 Yeah, Team Listen doing Raider with the repositioning of the Ash ult most likely and having Newcastle is good, but what do you do against Bang ult later on? I'd love to see them play space a lot, like we talked about Vantage having the ult.

01:18:36 Das ist das, was du musst, und das ist das, was du musst jetzt machen. Das ist das, was du musst jetzt machen.

Team-Resets, aggressive Spielweise und Matchpoint-Strategien in Apex Legends

01:18:59

01:18:59 Yes, they need Death Ball that perfectly. Despite getting engaged on, look at them. They're resetting right now. They're not chasing the kills. They're literally just reset guys. We need to heal. And they're playing Death Ball. This is super good play from them. Being able to play calm in that regards after getting engaged on. And triple swinging stuff and winning. That goes a long way.

01:19:18 The AdKid community have now gone down, and that leaves us with four teams. Team Listen, Team Atlas, DMS, and Empire. Atlas, I've got to say Graceful, have been on a roll this game. The way that they have played these incredibly close quarters fights is the difference between them and all those squads that have been culled moving into the final zone. Playing half is the least thing they've been doing. They're still going because they're right now close to where the zone is ending. They're actually the team that's the safest.

01:19:47 Und wenn ein Team macht einen Teil von einem Team, würde ich sehen, Atlas gewinnen, denn sie sind in den langen und alle anderen haben sie zu kämpfen. Aber mit den neuen Casteln wir sehen können, es könnte ein bisschen verändern, aber wir werden sehen. Team, listen, wir haben ein bisschen ein Truck. Wir spielen dieses kleine Cover ist gut, wir haben ein paar Sekunden. Aber Graceful, da sind nicht viele Teams, die wirklich brauchen. Wer eigentlich muss sicherstellen?

01:20:14 Team Listener muss zuerst gehen. Die Säule ist weg. Die Frage ist, ob sie eine Wallback haben? Wenn sie nicht, wird sie rausgehen. Wir werden sehen, weil wenn sie umge-GP in den Boden gehen. Ja, das war nicht so gut. Viele Teams sind auf sie.

01:20:33 DMS haben gerade diese Watssinn gesetzt. Wir werden alle, als die EMPs starten zu fliegen. Mit nur drei Quadsen leften. Alles ist unglaublich. Atlus werden die nächsten Quadsen zu nehmen. Sie haben die Klose Quarren gesetzt. Und jetzt starten sich das mit dem Newcastle-Wall. Ja, Ante ist halt nicht so, dass sie nach dem Wall sind. Sie sollten nicht gehen in. Empire, however, muss man in. Wir werden sehen. Die anderen Team macht es gut. DMS ist auf der Opposite Seite.

01:21:03 No, even then I think it was a good effort from BMS making that zipline, trying to not be in the pinch, so to speak.

01:21:24 However, was ich gesagt habe von vor, Diya? Spiel für Punkte. Wenn du sagst, dass du nicht gewinnen kannst, denn Atlas muss das 10x gewinnen, du spielst für 2. Diya, die Team zu spüren, dann kriege ich 3 Punkte und bessere Placement. Aber das Zip zu gewinnen ist, wie du sagst, ein Match Point Scenario, nicht ein Stacking Point Scenario.

01:21:45 It was really funny actually seeing the zipline, because we all get to see that from this removed perspective, where we just saw Team Listen die in the place that they're zipping to. So it's not even hindsight, it's like in the current moment you're like, is this really going to work out? And well, it doesn't, but they tried. They did try indeed. I would have liked to have seen maybe a zip grapple from Path to Oob or something for a second, in the best case scenario.

01:22:14 But doing that play, like I said, when you can just take a 3v3 is definitely suboptimal in my opinion. But Atlas, though, we must be talking about them. They took fight after fight, came in from a side, came in late with the zone after mopping a fight, still got the jump on Team Silly, which wasn't holding them properly with the awareness, perhaps. And they just kept steamrolling. And I'm super happy to see a team. Because I think this is a team everybody has had on their mind capable and have potential.

01:22:43 More than showing up and I'm happy to see it.

Teamdynamik, Matchpoint-Potenzial und strategische Überlegungen in Apex Legends

01:22:45

01:22:45 Adlis hat mich sehr beeindruckt mit dem, wie sie mit dem Bilden nehmen würde. Wir haben in den Mid-Games gesprochen, aber sie hat das Konzept von YOLO, die du erwähnt hast vorhin, Graceful. Die Sache, die das am meisten beeinflusst war, war in Close Quarters'Fights, wie sie able zu Bunker mit Newcastle und dann punish Mistakes haben. Ich habe wirklich gefühlt das, quasi Konservative Aspekt, die sie bringen zu einem aggressiven Position haben. Und es gibt sie 27 Punkte. Diese sind nicht die overallen Scores, das ist...

01:23:15 Das ist einfach zwei-thirds von dem Weg. Nein, das ist einfach zwei-thirds von dem Weg. Das ist einfach zwei-thirds von dem Weg. Und das ist nicht factoring in die Punkte sie hatten vorher.

01:23:28 Yeah, like you said about playing Newcastle, the thing that a lot of teams don't see when it comes to playing characters like Bang and Path together, right? People tend to play those characters very individually. Like they play Path on an off angle due to grapple, they play Bang a little bit more forward due to smokes. But Team Atlas, however, they just decided to, hey, we're bunkering up, we put down our wall and we're only triple swinging. And you could see how strong that was because they had the best focus fire of this lobby so far. They just...

01:23:57 Triple Swang took aggro from each other, shared the damage, which is super important to not go down, and even if they do, they have Newcastle, and they're looking really strong right now. Most of their points is actually kills. Credit to Empire as well, who got a fair amount of kills in that last game, actually picking up the majority of the kills that they had, and making their way a little bit further.

01:24:20 Sie sind 5th jetzt und es sollte niemanden sein, dass Atlas sind in 1st. Das Race-to-Matchpoint ist eigentlich ziemlich gut. Und ich will sehen, ob wir die Standings wiederholen können, weil das ist, dass wir wirklich die Chance haben, zu sehen, wo alle sind, als das so viel closer ist, dass das so viel closer ist.

01:24:40 With Atlas leading, I believe they had around 30 points, which means that we are just about one good game for both them and CyberCats behind them to make it into the match point eligibility. Yeah, so the thing here is that I think Atlas and CyberCats have both been playing super good proactively, right? EMS, however, most of their points is from placements, and that's considering the fact that they've had back-to-back zones as well.

01:25:09 So now going into the next matches, I think that we're going to see a little bit of a mix because when you don't have that soul on top of you again, the whole leaderboard will get changed because now other teams are favored and not, you know. It'll be interesting for sure. We are approaching match points, so excitement is sure to be in our future. Graceful, it's been fantastic covering the first two games of World's Edge with you. We're going to toss this to a break before we move over to Stormpoint.

01:25:38 Did you see the announcement video for Champs? No, what was it? Oh, it's in Japan. We're going to Japan. Yeah, we are. Only thing is though, it's in January. Dude, that's like a lot of months away. Four to be exact. What are we going to do? We got no B-Shring. We got no ALGS watch parties. I know for sure I'm not playing ranked. We're going to be out of a job. I mean, yeah, for a long time. I don't know how I'm going to pay my mortgage. Oh my God. I know, it's a lot to think about. Guys, we are going to Japan, finally. That's fantastic, man.

01:26:06 Ich weiß nicht, dass die B-Stream nicht mehr denken. Wir haben keinen Job. Ich weiß nicht. Was ist der Plan? Was ist es, dass wir uns alle zusammenarbeiten? Wir haben eine gute Ausbildung. Ich bin sicher, man. Ja, ich meine, wir sind in den Nummern hier. Wir haben vorhin gesprochen. 400k. 400k. Das ist eine solid Nummer. Das ist eine wirklich solid Nummer. Wir bringen die Charisma.

01:26:27 We don't really bring the analytic part. And then we bring the heart. We bring the heart. And the grid. There's a lot of heart. $400,000 is a lot though for heart and grit. True. I'm going to have to ask the CEO, man. Ask him.

Matchpoint-Szenarien, Teamstrategien und Kartenwechsel in der ALGS LCQ EMEA

01:26:57

01:26:57 Hermann Miller ist der offiziell Chair Partner der Apex Legends Global Series.

01:27:11 But still, anything is eligible to happen here with Matchpoint. It isn't going to be the surefire delivery, I think, at least with that.

01:27:34 DMS, CyberCats, oder?

01:28:01 Well, we'll see exactly how it might end up. Starting in Command Center, they do have central position, so notably they should be able to play within a position early on in terms of, we'll say, particularly zone play.

01:28:27 Now we are looking at the two winners here, and both of these teams were able to get 20-plus point matches here when they were able to get these wins. Specifically, Atlas, with those 15 kills in the last match, will they be able to carry this aggression on over into Storm Point as we get to take a look at these drops? And like we mentioned at the top of the show, no POI draft. This means even more contests now as we're looking here at Storm Points ever.

01:28:54 We have seen a lot of teams, though, back off from these early starts and played a little bit more safe, so I'm not entirely sure if what we'll see over there by Stormcatcher or even potentially down to the south. Surely, though, one of these 3v3s will dominantly take place. I love the point, though, up there with Atlas at the wall, Cybercats opposite end with Echo HQ. They've shown high aggression today and have been delivering a packing blow when it comes to making great plays on the edge, successfully wiping teams, delivering alongside it.

01:29:23 And then, well, at least from what we've seen, pull off our first two wins of the day. Yeah, both those teams in really good spots for potential zone outcomes as well, where they can at least potentially get themselves another win. I mean, Alice coming in here strong. Will the zone be towards their direction? We'll have to see as our teams are getting out of the drop ship onto the map and ready to dive into match number three. Will we have teams?

01:29:51 Ich bin froh, dass wir jetzt mal wiederholfen werden.

01:30:20 POI Draft, which has made the difference. Another team that we saw do well in our last match was Empire Gaming. They'll be in a favorable position for this zone as well, but we talked about some potential contestants here, and it looks like Rolling Teams is involved in just that. Living up to the name already off the bat. Plexus will go down here. It's early rotation that will force them off the tower for full wipes ahead here. They still have the time to recover, but Rolling Teams...

01:30:49 Might make good on the name here. I don't know if they really want to extend for that one. They've already gotten now the whole POI to themselves. They can take the full clear here, make their way back to at least Barometer Central. And, I mean, they don't have to worry about Team Awe at all.

01:31:04 No, that was definitely the start that Roland teams will have been looking for off of that contest. Also potentially setting themselves up to own that POI now heading into the next Stormpoint match. But we get a chance to see what Oz looking like here. Down one, a little bit injured, but lying in wait and potentially able to recover a bit here.

01:31:23 He can't make any moves. He'll be caught out there. So you just have to hope they'll take Center Barometer and you'll get the chance to potentially walk away from that one. I can't imagine it's too easy, though. Over there, Eternal. Already in position. 3D Max, notably, are kind of on the exit of Jurassic. With that evac, that might be the go button for Ah to come in and get a revive.

01:31:51 Wir werden sehen, wie wir das 2nd Cirkel sehen können. FazeClan starten zu sehen, aber ich habe schon gesagt, Empire Gaming vorhin. Sie sind in sogar noch ein solide Position, neben ANC-Out, als unsere Quads geteilt die Informationen und starten zu machen. Interessant zu sehen, was unsere Teams hier in der South sind. CyberCats, wie du gesagt, ist das Team sehr aggressiv. Sie könnten auch viele Teams in fronten, dass sie direkt durch die Path haben.

01:32:20 Notably, they have liked a little bit of that fighting action, and I will say, even though we are pulling to a Mil-Bean-esque zone here, there's a lot of opportunities for them to slow the position forward and potentially find themselves some good fights in their rotation there for Forbidden. They've had early takes to this spot. They start off notably within Sido Station and can find themselves a happy home, at least in one of the Mil buildings, notably with a coup on that Watson. Should be able to set up for defense, but they've got themselves a bit of a neighbor.

01:32:49 A bit, just a few, maybe, you know, three or four. The real estate's great, I'll tell you what. The purchasing power of this VOI is looking fantastic. Eternal, they'll rotate just behind, but I like the fact that they don't actually go for the full mill position here. This building over towards the north can provide really nice late-game priority. Even though it is hard to rotate out of, sometimes it converts to a top-five positioning, which is, at least in their case, I mean, that's still a great placement. Well, absolutely, and that's something that we heard Dia and Graceful.

01:33:19 Ich glaube, es geht darum, zu spielen für die Punkte. Wenn du nicht in den ersten Platz kannst, kannst du in den zweiten Platz spielen. Du kannst in den zweiten Platz spielen. Du kannst in den zweiten Platz spielen. Weil jetzt in den ersten Platz spielen wollen, wenn du in den ersten Platz willst. Das Team ist eine der ersten Spieler, die in die Be-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A.

01:33:39 We knew that was gonna be a rough escape for them. That might have been them. I was gonna say, that might have been him trying to craft.

01:34:08 All right. Meanwhile, we're just we're playing the positional waiting game as so many teams are trying to claim what limited real estate they have where they're predicting that final circle to make the pull. Those squads that were in there nice and early should be able to hold some space for now. Meanwhile, Gollum having

01:34:28 A long road ahead of them, but pretty open space in the process will be able to at least hit some evil harvesters get their shields leveled up so that by the time they do start getting into the fray of everything they should be well looted and pretty ready to fight.

01:34:42 Yeah, it's that transition point we talk about later on with POIs like Cito Station that come into heavy preference for those teams that don't get to actually play within that endgame zone early. I'm very curious to see how it works out because Cito specifically has so much room for these squads to call themselves, well, at least a home here. And while there is potential for always those evac plays, now seeing that DMS are just ahead in there and maybe potentially will make this cross successfully, you've got potentially some pressure to watch out.

01:35:12 Das ist einfach nur ein Pope-Battle für ein paar Zeit.

01:35:40 Was you're trying to do, end of the day, you want to extend your pressure, right? You want to make sure that no squad's getting a free walk up on you. And even for FaZe, set upon themselves as a duo with the click reset here. Look for the exchange, down one on Sinek, off the backside team. Listen, though in the end, can't quite eep it out. Surprisingly, as early as it is, Eternal temper themselves here, not quite looking for that push yet.

01:36:07 Das war eine riesige Spiel von Team Listen, Faye zu halten, aber wie du gesagt hast, ich...

01:36:14 ... ... ... ... ...

01:36:42 Ending of one squad. They're forbidden, who we did make mention of hoisting themselves into position early. Take that away from ANC Outplay, which is quite a shame. Remember, this is the place that ANC called their home when we talk about Stormpoint. Remember, teams that deliver when the, my apologies, the zone of pulls to them is always the thing I check first and foremost for the quality of a roster.

01:37:07 Nice little cinematic here. As our fighting teams have found themselves done and looting yet again. DMS. I was wondering what was going to happen here with DMS. They were about to run into full English over at checkpoint. And it looks like DMS opts to not really have to force that. Just continue on a safer rotational path here. Kind of give that space over to full English for now.

01:37:34 I like it. I was talking about a little bit earlier when we saw them a bit further south there in what could be a potential Cedar Station rotation, and they opted to pull this one back for maybe a little bit more time to extend it on the edge to build up that power and, well, take more secluded 3v3s, which we have begun to know this roster more than capable of handling here. Granted, without them taking care of the full English there and starting to breach these southern chokes, it does put them within a...

01:38:00 auf der anderen Seite. Sie können sich, ja, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um

01:38:20 Ich denke hier, hinter dem Rock. Es ist nicht Rock, aber Pokoy. Pokoy.

01:38:46 Vielleicht ist es eine gute Idee, aber ich glaube es ist gut. Ich glaube es ist gut. Ich glaube es ist gut. Ich glaube es ist gut. Ich glaube es ist gut. Okay. Du kannst du abwarten, wenn du genug hast.

01:39:14 Wir haben eine gute Zeit, und sie haben eine gute Zeit. Sie fühlen wie ich, Glitter. Ich bin der gleiche Mann. Ich bin der gleiche Mann. Ich bin der gleiche Mann. Ich bin der gleiche Mann. Ich bin der gleiche Mann. Ich bin der gleiche Mann. Ich bin der gleiche Mann. Ich bin der gleiche Mann. Ich bin der gleiche Mann. Ich bin der gleiche Mann. Ich bin der gleiche Mann. Ich bin der gleiche Mann. Ich bin der Mann.

01:39:34 One on the other side of the action. And for a squad like here, they can actually play really, really nice pressure on both the north and south from this spot. A lot of teams try to play into this position. And for DMS who want to be there, they find themselves knocked again towards that south. You know, we saw Gollum go out in the kill feed as well. And they had opted to go a little bit farther north. You know, you had mentioned potentially these people going through Cito. It looked like everybody got scared of Cito. Everybody went north and it ended up being the downfall.

01:40:01 Yeah, you saw DMS and what ends up happening to them trying to really play for those positions. The full English, I like the fact that they're a bit more restrained, but it isn't an answer to the problem ahead. Phoenix still looking for that early access. One good drone play is all they're going to have to work off of here. And of course...

01:40:27 I like what FullEnglish is trying to do here right now, because if they can clear out KYL, it opens up a lot of space, breathing room for them to move in as the circles continue to shrink here. So this is an opportunity to FullEnglish not only get some points on the board, but to really open up the next.

01:40:55 So this is a big fight for them, potentially, if they're able to win this one. Notably, it does push KYL back a little bit more towards the edge of the zone. Yann's there, but they do recover and play once again heavy on those zone control angles. Feinex still covering the northern side of this rotation out to the west for what could be always a potentially worrying backside rotate. For now, I don't think the solution has been...

01:41:21 found for the full english and now with utility down could come back to bite them here in just a moment got a chance to see what happened with cybercats after they did finish that very long rotate they're now on the roof but another team we're able to jump in with now on the fray here is go next and they're looking at a potential 2v2 let's see if they're able to third party this

01:41:44 Ja, das ist so gut für uns. Ja, das ist so gut für uns. Ja, das ist so gut für uns.

01:42:10 Ja, da sind wir hier. Ja, ja.

01:42:34 Ja, es ist ein Badmann. Er ist Grappling. Er ist Grappling.

01:43:01 A clean and controlled walk-in for Go Next. They're covering all sides, especially with the major evacs from the southern. Don't quite pick up the KPI we'd need to really stack points here, but I like the access they have to these angles for what needs to be this next major rotate ahead into the mill. Potential roof play always available, but still a very hard moment for them to at least target where they'll shoot that arrow.

01:43:24 Boah!

01:43:53 Das ist die Frage, die wir gefragt haben, ein bisschen weiter nach dem Westen, als wir diskutieren können.

01:44:13 X's box there is potentially a burden, an omen of what might be to come here, but still, it's a position. It is something of safety for now. With that wall playing both sides, they should find at least a crack or crevice to stay alive. Still, 41 seconds on the board and half of mil potentially to be removed here. It'll have a little sliver out towards that western side that they might be able to hold just a bit. Go next. They were able to find themselves this position, but I mean, how for much longer will it last?

01:44:44 It'll be interesting to see how they handle this and what happens with the teams that are still just a little bit on the outskirts. Oh, Mozan putting in work here wondering what's going to happen with GoNext. It looks like Forbidden want to try and see if they can take this fight. They can't. GoNext to destroy them. Tyler able to just barely survive. They should be able to get a little bit of a reset here as well as no one was really looking their way from the teams that have pushed farther into the zone.

Spannungsgeladene Momente und Team-Manöver im Apex Legends LCQ Finale

01:45:10

01:45:10 For 3D Max on the other side of things. We saw the box, but they got the reset here off a building. Able to survive for moments more. Atlas on the other angle here. More than happy to watch Bambino walk out of this one. They're calling, buddy. They're saying, come on out, bud.

01:45:26 We're wondering how Atlas was going to handle their position. They managed to survive so far, but it looks like Go Next might be the next team to try and move in on them as they're trying to get these shield bats popped. You can see Tyler trying to do a little bit of work here, decides to back off, doesn't love the timing of this push, and they opt to stay a little bit safer here.

01:45:45 In that time, there is minor recoveries found here. Kyner pulled back into play. Schex as well for Eternal. They get moments to spare here. Now, with the rotation out of the zone playing off of the sound of the Evac, they'll find themselves directly ahead. Just barely the mobile shield unable to block the starting damage. Finds the snipe from Zuni point blank here. Now in Newcastle, his Bambino hits the smoke.

01:46:08 Das war die Timing, das Go-Nex war. Das war die Timing, das Go-Nex war. Das war die Zeit, das Go-Nex war.

01:46:37 Wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal.

01:46:42 Wir sehen, was sie können, aber Arktik ist nicht das einfach. Ein bisschen Revenge auf der anderen Seite für Gonext. Sie machen das Klamm ahead und ich bin froh, Jmw ist nicht able, auf der Drone Information zu kommen, wenn es die größte. Nonetheless, Full Wipes auf Jmw ist, um das Roster zu tun, für die Remenanten des Spiel. Gonext muss sich ein bisschen vorsichtig sein. Gonext muss sich ein bisschen vorsichtig sein. Senatik in der Backen gibt es ein bisschen damage, aber sie sind selbst zu nehmen.

01:47:11 Oh, big move there, Empire having to defend their position, trying to do what they can with these Watson walls. They do have to reset, trying to put the smoke down, see if they have enough time and space to do just that. They might have just enough cover to at least set themselves back up to be able to take the fight yet again.

01:47:29 Really nice. It's the Fett's play that comes off of the Wattson there to allow for the recovery within the interior. Go next. We'll have to check in a moment if they get the same for Faze. They've opted to send it directly. I'll CJ and Fadex. They have barely, barely a limit of survivability. A fantastic rotate. Wafa, potentially what wasn't.

01:47:50 der Drone ist es. Es war eine Defense gegen Cybercats, aber es war nicht genug Dammage. Positions für die Endgame, Brudow next, eine Potenzial End für sie auf 5th. Cybercats hat sich über den Südwestern geschenkt, um die Team nach rechts und rechts zu gehen, mit Go-next-out. Faze up hier, um ein Duo zu versuchen, zu halten das Ruhm für so lange wie möglich. Cybercats ist die einzige Team auf der Lowgarten, außerhalb der Building von Empire und Sili.

01:48:17 Und dann haben wir uns zu sehen, wie es das geht für sie. Sie sind in 3rd, nur die 7. Das ist ein erhöhter, was 2 in 2nd ist natürlich mit 9. Und dann noch mehr die 3.

01:48:40 Das ist 5 total, 47. Sie müssen 3 Kp haben, um sich in den Matchpoint zu geben. Wenn diese Fights nicht clean sind, wenn sie es nicht mit nur den Inklings-Members bleiben können, dann werden sie nicht einfach mal aufhören. Wir schauen jetzt an Cybercats. Sie haben 7 Kills. All diese 7 Kills sind auf Arktik. Absolut, insane gameplay für die Squad. Sie haben eine wirklich solid Position.

01:49:10 All of this space, they're able to use a Jenny behind the wall. I mean, they are set up so solidly right now knowing Faye's at the top with a duo. They could really just wait to try and third party this.

01:49:23 This is a problem, though. They lose that fence line, and they need to play it close to the wall. Micey, though, with a burden of hope here. It's going to be at least some recovery for now. Dodging out the Rolling Thunder for moments ahead allows potentially Arctic to survive, but is it enough time to force drops to occur on the edge of Mill?

01:49:44 Das ist alles um die Zeit, um die Smokes zu nutzen. Sie sehen, dass Silly ist, um Cybercats zu suchen, als sie ihren Weg machen. Faze ist still holding das Roof. Will sie drop down? Die Balloon Play könnte vielleicht kommen. Das ist in Silly's hands.

01:50:01 Sehr schönes Rückkehr auf der Wallen. Der Pull hat so gut gespielt für Silly. Ein paar Bombs werden nichts tun in der Mitte der Mobile-Shit, besonders jetzt mit den beiden Gegnern auf 2. Finally, mit der Rückkehr auf die Seite, Cybercats zu gehen. Die Maul-Mau-Mau-Mau-Mau-Mau-Mau-Mau-Mau-Mau-Mau.

01:50:26 When it comes to the Duo Mozams, it's a win painted from the inside for the phase claim.

01:50:35 Die Duell-Wheel-Mozams sind die 3er-player für FaZe. Die Duell-Duell-Duell-Mozams sind die 3er-player für FaZe. Die Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell-Duell.

01:50:59 Super good in terms of the timing, you know, just as well as anyone else that there's going to be the same setup for those below you there and phase.

01:51:07 They have no better choice than to wait that one out. I'm so proud that, especially when we saw Nags peeking over there towards the side, that they don't really try to extend the pressure that they know they have angles on because letting CyberCats live is actually what helps them deliver into that win. Had they taken them now any further, suddenly it's just a standard 2v3 and they don't have as much of a health advantage going into that final situation. And that was a really...

01:51:34 ...clutch situation for FaZe to win, because we're talking about just how close our top three were even to getting into that match point eligibility. And now it's FaZe Clan who are able to get themselves at the top of these match three results. Six kills on top of their win for a total of 18 points. So at the end of the day, a very strong performance. And then Silly and CyberCast tied.

01:51:56 Just there at 14

01:52:11 Es war ein schwerer Position für die Cybercats. Es war ein schwerer Position für sie, vor allem zu verlieren auf die Fenstelle. Aber immer noch, sie hätten sie ein Miracle aufzunehmen. Was das bedeutet, ist, dass es ein bisschen mehr Safety für so viele andere Spiele ist. Gonext, sie launchen Forward nach dieser Spiel. Wir nicht highlighten es, aber ein Plethora von 8 Kp, mit der 5th Place Position, als sie Frieden durch die letzte Spiel, schießt sie.

01:52:40 up the board into second.

01:53:00 Speedrun of the full English, like the zip into EMP into full SquadWap. I was like, surely this is it. So honestly, very well played to all of our squads, but high tension endgames is where it's at. All right. Well, we, that means we're a bare minimum, at least halfway through our matches here so far now, and also halfway through our Storm Point matches, which means it's time for a little bit of...

01:53:25 Hi, everyone. Thanks for having me.

Analyse der Split 2 Playoffs und Strategien für Challenger Teams

01:53:47

01:53:47 Alright, well, now before we get into any of the action here today, I have to talk to you about split two playoffs, okay? Because we get to Match Point Finals, and you guys come out the gate absolutely guns blazing. Back-to-back wins into a third place to put you on Match Point in three games. And while you weren't able to close out the whole tournament, second place with the most points in that series. I mean, you guys absolutely...

01:54:10 So, tell me a little bit about, you know, your thoughts on the team's performance at Split 2 Playoffs, the reactions to your success, and then just how you think that can carry over into Champs confidence-wise. Well, I'm very happy about the result, obviously, because it's second in the world. Very good. I'm just sad that we couldn't close it because, as you said, we had multiple opportunities.

01:54:37 Unfortunately, es ist Matchpoint und es ist unglaublich zu sehen, es ist ein bisschen schwer zu spielen, ein bisschen schwer zu gewinnen, aber overall, wir vorbereiteten sehr hart für diese LAN, für jede LAN in generell und es hat endlich gezeigt, weil es ist ein Jahr im Endeffekt, wir sind zusammen seit Afterchamps, all of uns.

01:55:03 und nach dem letzten Jahr. Und wir haben quasi jeden Tag gearbeitet, ich denke, über alle kleinen Details, von einfach nur den Macro-aspekt des Spiels, bis zum Spiel, bis zum Spiel, bis zum Spiel, bis zum Spiel, bis zum Spiel, bis zum Spiel, bis zum Spiel, bis zum Spiel, bis zum Spiel, bis zum Spiel, bis zum Spiel, bis zum Spiel.

01:55:29 nicht passiert ist, dass alle fantastisch spielen in unserer Team. Und ich wünsche, dass wir uns zweckten, ohne die Möglichkeit zu kommen. Weil ich weiß, wie sie sind. Ich weiß, dass sie das immer wieder denken. Sie denken über die kleinen Fehler, die wir gemacht haben, die uns die gewinnen haben. Sie denken über das immer wieder. Und ich bin sehr sorry für sie.

01:55:57 Ich möchte sie nicht so schlecht über was, was in den Amazing Feet. Ja.

01:56:03 And it is an amazing feat to reach as high as you guys did on the international stage. I want to focus in a little bit on what's happening today, where teams are so far from that, especially if you're coming out of Challenger Circuit and you have the opportunity to play against some of the best in the world. You do have to get through this first, though. And we're seeing right now our top eight teams coming from Pro League. If you're a squad coming from Challenger Circuit, from a coach's perspective, how do you survive in lobbies this difficult?

01:56:33 Ich meine... Ich persönlich... Es ist eine Frage von, ob man sich die Teams stärker als du? Und die Antwort ist, nein. Wenn du nicht kannst. Wenn du von CC bist, sogar Golem ist, der beste CC-team in der Welt.

01:56:59 Ich weiß nicht genau, wie sie in der Leaderboarden sind. Ich weiß nicht, wie sie in der Leaderboarden sind. Ich habe nicht gesehen, wie sie in der Leaderboarden sind. Aber sie haben nicht genau, wie sie den Erfolg haben, in diesen Last Chess Qualifiers. Mein Tipp wäre, anstatt nicht zu spielen, wo man hart gegen alle, weil man weiß, dass man die Lobby verliert.

01:57:28 Wir haben es nicht getan, wir haben es nicht getan, wir haben es nicht gegen die stärkste Team in der Lobby, weil warum würden Sie? Ich weiß, dass es schlecht ist, aber Sie wollen die Weakten, Sie wollen die Weakten, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen, Sie wollen.

01:57:52 Ich würde gerne spielen mehr Konservativen und suchen die Möglichkeiten, die von jemandem anderen zu finden, statt zu versuchen, auf ein Team zu sein, was DMS wird. Ich würde nicht wollen sie kämpfen, wenn ich ein Team wäre. Ich hoffe, niemand will. Ich würde nur versuchen, zu capitalize auf was passiert. Es wird immer eine Möglichkeit geben, in welchem Lobby wir in.

01:58:21 I don't know about calling them free in some of these teams. Some squads might take potential offense today, but let's move this forward here. We've had three incredible games, Luke. Let's break this down here, and I want to get it from the perspective of you more as a coach here, especially with this first match one. Forbidden, they've got height, but what's the lesson to learn here?

01:58:45 Ich meine, in Endgame, mit Bangsmoke, ich sehe nichts. Und die andere Lehre ist, dass Arktik einfach 600 dmg und seine Respekt hat. Das ist die Hauptsache.

01:59:12 Es ist sehr komisch, dass oft in Endgames die High-Ground-Position nicht wirklich gewinnen. Wie Sie sehen, wenn die Ring geschlossen ist, die Technik-Worst-Position tatsächlich gewinnen. Und wenn sie eine Schlange von Cover haben, Forbidden ist zuerst aus der Cover. Es ist nicht so wertvoll in Endgame.

01:59:39 I would focus on value of cover, value of position rather than actual value of position rather than traditional value. You have to be able to see the context they're in. Well, there's plenty of cover, especially coming to game two here. Team, listen, they're unable to utilize it. Help break down the final moments here of this one.

02:00:06 Well, in this one, the main thing that I saw while looking at this endgame was DMS could not win. There's nothing they can do there. The first ones to move, they basically have nowhere to play. I personally would have just accepted that I can't win. I would have just tried to kill the team below me and called it a day.

02:00:35 The win can be... Winning can be kind of a bait sometimes. You're not here necessarily to win unless you're on match point. You're here to score the most amount of points. That should be your goal. At least for FaZe. You know, they as a duo were able to eep out the win. What was the decision that sealed this one in stone here for Game 3?

02:01:00 Ich meine, ich meine, es gibt nicht viel, dass Faze in der Runde zu tun hat, außer zu sein, um die Team unter dem, die Team außerhalb von Nil zu tun. All das sie tun hatten war, was warten für die richtige Zeit, und collect ihre 3kp. Und einfach zu gewinnen. Es gibt nicht viel in der Endgame. Es geht nur darum, dass sie dort in der Fall sein können.

02:01:29 All right, Luke. Well, that was an absolutely fantastic breakdown. Thank you for jumping on here and chatting with us for today. It was a pleasure having you. We'll let you go and enjoy the rest of the matches. Thank you very much. We'll see you. Have fun.

Ankündigung der BLGS und Diskussion über die Zukunft des Competitive Apex

02:01:46

02:01:46 I always love being able to chat with some of our coaches. And it's been an exciting first three matches to kick off here the day so far. Now, Split 2 Playoffs was filled with a lot of big announcements that answered some of our questions. And one of those questions being, what will be going on for competitive Apex between Split 2 Playoffs and Champs? Now that there's a very large gap of time. Well, if you missed it, the answer is this.

02:02:13 Bis zum nächsten Mal.

02:02:27 We got no ALGS watch parties. I know for sure I'm not playing rank. We're going to be out of a job. I mean, yeah, for a long time. I don't know how I'm going to pay my mortgage. Oh my God. I know, it's a lot to think about. Guys, we are going to Japan, finally. That's fantastic, man, but do you not think about the B-Stream ever? We have no job. Never. I know. What are we going to do? What's the plan? Well, what's it going to take to keep you guys around? We got a pretty good asking for us. I'm sure you do, man. Yeah, I mean, we're thinking numbers here. We've discussed previously. 400.

02:02:56 $400,000? Das ist ein echtes Nummer. Das ist ein wirkliches Nummer. Ich denke, die Vibes bringen. Wir bringen die Charisma. Wir bringen die Analytik, aber wir bringen die Herz. Wir bringen die Herz. Und die Herz. Und die Herz. Das ist ein viel Herz. $400,000 ist ein viel für Herz und Herz. Ich werde den CEO haben.

02:03:29 Wig and Greek will be happening during that downtime. And here's a little bit more information as well. We've got this tournament format, which will consist of four qualifiers and regional finals across APAC North, APAC South, EMEA, and of course the Americas. Now, if you want to sign up, anybody can join the BLGS, okay? All you have to be is level 50 or above, and then you can participate in the BLGS.

02:03:56 Okay, registration for that first qualifier though is open right now until the day of.

02:04:23 So make sure you get yourself signed up. You can, of course, head on over to ALGS.EA.com for more information. Check out the blog post. And like I said, if you've got a squad ready to go, sign up for it, okay? Because it's going to be really cool. But for now, we've got to keep going with our LCQ action, which means Dia, it's time to get you and Graceful back on the mic.

02:04:44 All right, let's do it. Graceful, I can't help but be a little sad with that BLGS announcement that you're in EMEA and I'm in North America, because otherwise I would peer pressure you into playing with me. It would have been fun indeed. Honestly, I would like a tournament where we get to play as the team on the desk or the casters, etc. It would be fun. Yeah, definitely.

02:05:05 We might get our shot, but for right now, we're gonna take a step back and let these guys do it. You know, it would be a little unfair if we jumped in now, especially with our squads as close to match point as they are. We're jumping into our second match on Stormpoint. And with Cybercats only eight points away from the 50-point break.

Matchpoint-Szenarien und Strategieanpassungen in Stormpoint

02:05:22

02:05:22 Das ist wo wir eigentlich haben Matchpoint geöffnet. Ein Team wie Cybercats, vielleicht ein Team wie GoNext, die jetzt sit at 35, oder Atlas und Phase, die jetzt sit at 34, könnte es beherentwickelt werden. Stormpoint wurde ein bisschen chaotisch. Es hat viel excitement, besonders in der Mid-Game, wo Teams waren viele Fights, und sogar in der End-Game-Graceful war. Es war schwierig zu halten, wer was zu kommen. Jetzt haben wir eine zweite Chance zurück.

02:05:52 back to world's edge yeah definitely and you know seeing the zones end around mill where you have inside bottom floor inside second floor rooftop as well and then there's two donuts and then you have the opposite side like it's gonna be messy regardless but seeing the teams play space properly and i think we've seen all the like experienced teams show up like on top right now of the leaderboard this goes to show how far you know knowledge and past experience brings you regardless of how chaotic the lobby might be

02:06:21 With A and Rolling Teams contesting over Barometer, they are both going to land on opposite sides, so Rolling Teams have a bit of high ground to make use of. They haven't got Pathfinder, instead choosing to roll with a Catalyst, so actually closing the gap onto A could be a little bit more difficult, where Team Listen with their classic Vantage Ash Newcastle. I've already found a bit of a fight up against Fat Kid Community.

02:06:49 Yeah, I mean, showing their Thief right now is what happens. Like you said, some teams right now that might be on the lower end have to show up at some point. And on Stormpoint is the map you have to do it on. Because this is a map that regardless of what POI you drop on, you have a fighting chance to have huge games due to the fact that there's so many areas and opportunities to take, you know, consistent 3v3s essentially. So if you're not showing that Thief right now...

02:07:16 You're gonna have a rough start because it's already been, you know, a couple of games. And for this particular game, we are going a little further north. So Rolling Teams and Ah sitting over here in Barometer actually have a difficult time. Wolf even positioning, wanting to search for the ring scan with Ekio being chunked out. It's gonna be difficult to get it.

02:07:38 A lot of damage comes their way and holding onto high ground very well or denying information, information that would lead us to know we're playing over by wall for this game. Going over towards wall and command center is our second zone. And if you're able to hit the ring console like I were, you know that. Yeah, this zone I like to play a lot personally. This one could be pulling even south a little bit of wall towards the zip line where the big godrock is by the zip house.

02:08:04 But any zone that's up north, I think most teams deem it as fair because outside of the one hill, there's so many routes to take to fight for that you don't really feel like, you know, you're never really congested, I feel like. And that's a good thing to have in this game where you can get four, five, six parties, you know. This feels terrible for rolling teams. Just like watching them on the high ground again. And that's without the threat of those third, fourth, fifth parties that you talked about just getting chunked out.

02:08:33 So often against Empire don't look like they're having too good of a time either. The Double Mozams hurting early on in the game. Well, Barometer is in a stalemate. The rest of the game continues, especially up towards the north where Empire...

02:08:49 Ja, das Reset ist einfach, weil wir Krypto haben. Aber die schwerste Sache ist, dass sie nicht leben können. Es gibt Edge-Teams auf beiden Seiten der Map. Regardless von wo du gehst, du kommst in als Triple White into die Arme und Weapons. Wenn du bist, dann ist es definitiv ein schwerer Platz für sie, aber auf der anderen Seite, sie können nicht leben. Es gibt Edge-Teams auf beiden Seiten der Map.

02:09:18 Das ist nicht wo die Zone ist, aber es ist ein Spot für Opportunität, wo beide Seiten haben, und das ist wo man sich um Kills und Loot zu beschäftigen.

02:09:33 I actually heard behind Empire. I think it's A and C outplayed that we're running by them in the Shridan Undering. So Empire, get up to this high ground over by a wall. Very clutch timing is actually the word I'm going to go for. Go next, take a different approach. An evac tower this far away from everything is going to pass by the full English who got the scan over at Stormcatcher. But go next can take their time moving in. You've got lots of Survey Beacons on the way and pathing for Survey Beacons can be...

02:10:02 really nice in the midgame.

02:10:04 Ja, GoNX ist also, also, like, having streamed with Cashier as well, he does have macro for fast rotates, but they've been playing mid-speed this entire tournament, and it's been paying off hugely. I think this is also due to the fact that they now have Tyler, who's really strong at fighting, and when he gets on purple or even red, as we've seen in previous games, they just get to mopping everybody, and, you know, he's not scared to take any fights, and when you have that little bit of mid-speed rotates, meaning you get a little bit more loot than normal, I don't think they're scared of any team, so that's been working out for them.

02:10:34 Move up this hill. Does give FaZe a good angle into Command Center. They're chasing down Enhanced Aim, who have already lost one. And Synetic on Pathfinder, even as the IGL, has been making this work really well. A lot of IGLs choose to go Crypto. Synetic does not take that backseat. Enhanced Aim, go down. But it's Tyler that ends up getting the knock, which means go next, is right outside this door.

02:11:03 Ja, die Stray-Kills ist immer schön, besonders weil sie wahrscheinlich mehr Stacked sind als FaZe walken in, sie sind nicht schrecklich zu gehen. Ich denke, jetzt, als Teams starten zu entwickeln in die Center-Side-Zone und die Leute fragen sich, ob sie sich in den Zip-Bilden oder sie sich in den Rokkrieg bewegen, weil sie sich in den Rokkrieg bewegen. Wir werden sehen, dass Teams in die Lage sind, weil die Lateren Teams kommen in late, wie Cybercats mit viel Stacked-Armor.

02:11:32 But they're still looking and hunting for kills, and can they find a few? I don't know. We're like camping the craziest spot right now. You don't see a lot of teams just roll through here, but a Trident could, and that's what they were hoping for. Team, I don't get that, as Pointless end up taking another route in. I guess it just goes to show how risky moving around a Trident can be, because they don't know it, but this almost ended a disaster for Pointless.

02:12:00 This is the scary thing as well as, Pointless right now, 19th place, they can pretty much make a Haymaker at any point of the game. That's what they have to do to get back up on the leaderboard. That team though, ah, hiding like that is, you either get free kills, which is good, or you waste time, which is bad normally if you have to rotate early, but since they're playing Edge right now, honestly, I would say that's a good play to make a rat play because you don't assume that a lot of the time.

02:12:25 Ja, definitiv.

02:12:54 Ich glaube, es ist eine gute Sache, weil es in Match 4 ist, einige Teams sind weit entfernt zu dem Matchpunkt, aber der Fall, dass wir hier noch nicht gewinnen können, weil wir die Punkte brauchen, ist eine positive Sache, von Teams zu sehen, sogar auf den Leaderboarden.

02:13:10 And see how played playing the low ground here are gonna be stacked up but not inside of the next zone they don't know this nobody really knows this the exception to that being teams like go next were sat over by lightning rod and might have gotten scanned golem who are coming up from storm catcher all these late rotating teams that you talk about having a loot advantage on all that goes with it now also can pick up an informational advantage over the squads that are sat in zone with the exception of atlas who actually have rolled pretty well

02:13:40 Ja, das ist die Sache, wo die Zone ist jetzt, ist das, das ist, wie ich bin, bei der Zip-Haus, wo die Godrock ist, ist, dass alle Teams, die in Latein sind, haben die Knowledge, aber sie sollten bereits read das Zone, ehrlich gesagt haben. Das ist eine sehr frequent Zone, die wir sehen in Scrims sehen haben. Sie werden hella stacken. Jetzt kommt die Frage für Latein. Sie haben die Phase des Spiels gemacht.

02:13:59 ein bisschen leichter, so zu sagen, wo man einfach nur die Objekte ist, und man nicht mehr in die Teams ist. Jetzt haben sie die Part der Hard für Edge, das ist die Timing, um ein Kampf zu nehmen, wenn die Zone closes, weil man nicht die Team ist, weil man nicht die Team ist. Man muss die Team starten und sofort winnen, oder man muss die Team in die Team starten, um die Team starten, so dass man nicht geimpft hat. Und das ist die Hardeste Part von Edge zu spielen, aber wenn man das macht, dann ist das so, dass man so Stacked ist, man sollte die Team winnen.

02:14:28 Go next and Golem, also in a difficult spot. Not nearly because of the execution that you talked about, but more just because fighting each other straight up 3v3 is really difficult. And it's nice that neither of them choose to take this. Golem gonna disengage down onto the low ground, go next on the height, manage to keep theirs. That will mean that Golem have to go through Stormcatcher and likely Command Center as well. They could find some fights there as Cascade really starts lightning, letting up with Bat Kid Community Pointless.

02:14:58 Ja, das ist was ich über die Late Rotating-Teams kommen in für das Spiel. Das ist gut, weil es so weit aus der Zone ist, dass es sich nicht isoliert wird. Teams könnten in 3P-Disk, aber was ich gesagt habe über World's Edge vs. Torpoint vorhin ist, dass du mehr Zeit hast. Wenn du so viel auf World's Edge wirst, dann wirst du sofort sofort in 3P-Disk.

02:15:26 Ja, ich denke, dass es sehr wichtig ist, aber ich hoffe...

02:15:48 Das ist die Sache, ich habe mit Zettel und Tricks schon ein bisschen, aber ich hoffe, dass sie ihre Macro planen. Weil jetzt ist es, wenn wir in der Zeit in die Zone wie Golem haben, wie es immer eine gute Sache ist. Und du einfach nicht wirst, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du. Cybercats positionen sich perfekt aufbauen. Ich liebe dieses Raid von Cybercats. Wie können sie, wie sie, dass das ist, das ist der Ort, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du, wenn du.

02:16:17 Das ist die Sache, dass wenn man das Macro von Mid- und Late-Games ist, dass man auf dem Map zu sehen, wo ein Team ist. Wenn man die Beacons hat, wenn man die Beacons hat, und man hat die Scouting-Knowledge, ist, dass man einfach für Team zu kommen in Late ist. Und wenn man die Stray-Kills bereits hat, dann ist er bereit zu nehmen.

02:16:37 K.Y.L. do takeout ANC outplayed. This low ground now getting sieged quite effectively by the team that came out number one in the winner's bracket moving into today's matches. The LCQ was expected to be lit up by K.Y.L. and yet they haven't managed to really find their stride just yet. Sitting in 13th right now, they've got a ways to go until match point.

02:17:01 Ja, definitiv ein langer Weg zu gehen, aber du hast zu beginnen. Und ich denke, die Momentum zu gewinnen, 3v3s auf der Erde ist gut. Denn wenn du dich in die Fälle wirst, alles wird natürlich in die Fälle sein. Denn wenn du dich in die Fälle wirst, dann ist es definitiv schwer zu gewinnen, wenn du dich in die Fälle wirst, wenn du dich in die Fälle wirst.

02:17:24 South side of the map gonna break out into a few fights again. Let's talk about Command Center in the course of this game. We know that the high ground where Atlas held is really nice. I feel like Command Center is a really decent place to approach from and Cybercats and FaZe are about to fight for it.

02:17:38 I can promise you right now as well Arctic knows that space. When I was scrimming with Arctic before we decided on what teams to play for, we were hunting face down every time we saw them because he's like, that's their skins we are fighting. He wants to prove a point and this 3v3 might actually show what's the difference between the teams because he is hungry and he's also already at the top of the leaderboard. Can they hold on to that for the entirety of the tournament though remains to be seen, but so far what we've seen from, you know, from both teams, they're both heavy hitters and...

02:18:07 3v3 regardless of who comes out on top is really exciting Golem do go down this one a bit tough for them pointless slide down onto the low ground as well just to buy a little bit of space so that you can reset

02:18:21 Eventually, this push is gonna have to come in, and Pointless do rotate down towards the low ground, trying to evade Fat Kid Community. KYL go down. Meanwhile, Pointless decides to slide on forward. Now the fight between them and Fat Kid Community has to break out, and you'd think that FaZe were third partying this, but FaZe have a fight of their own. As Pointless healed through the zone, Xerifer actually gets the medkit off in time, should be able to turn this around, and with the Mozambiques pops another medkit just in time. He's gonna be able to outheal the zone as well.

02:18:50 Ja, das ist definitiv wirklich hart, denn jetzt ist der große Herausforderung, weil wir jetzt über die Fakten haben, die Fakten haben. Es ist all up to JMW, und es geht um! Cybercats, der Serb, der Dominanz in Command Center ist! Wie gesagt, Artic ist hier für ein Punkt, und Punkt Proven, in dem Moment. Das Fight nicht wirklich war. Das 3 für 1 ist...

02:19:14 Das war sehr gut für CyberCast, denn jetzt sind sie alle vollgeared. Ich bin jetzt hier, wie ich gesagt habe. Er weiß es ihnen, ich war zu sagen. In Scrims we're shooting boxes, we're teabagging, we're doing everything, he's so happy about this. Staying on top. Und ich bin so proud of him, weil ich mich für mein Boy versus mein Boy. Aber hey, ich bin Scrimm mit Arktik, er ist der Recent Boy in favor of Arktik. Ich bin so proud of you. Keep doing well, und ich hoffe, dass ihr euch in der Ende sehen. Standing really tall, mit ihr heads held high.

02:19:43 Ich meine, sie spielen wie das, und Sie werden sehen, Cyberkatz. Wahrscheinlich in Japan. Da sind 46 Punkte jetzt. 4 mehr Punkte. 1 gut Squad Wipe. Und das ist eine Squad Wipe. Aber es ist nicht genau das gleiche. Das macht die Placement Points, die Cyberkatz zu 48. Jetzt sind wir in den Top 10 und Pointless sind. Es sind 2 Punkte, die Cyberkatz zu verändern. Ja, ich...

02:20:08 ARCHIK NO!

02:20:34 Und er geht jetzt. Jetzt ist es ein Duo, wo ihr spielt? Es sieht aus wie sie sind in der Mitte des Wallen. Ich bin ehrlich gesagt, das ist wirklich Risky. Die Highgrounds vielleicht ein bisschen weniger so, aber... Wir haben gesagt Risky, das ganze Haus ist frei. Was ist passiert hier? Das ist weird.

02:20:54 Ich denke, die Team von South wissen, dass sie ein Duo sind. Aber wenn sie nicht, dann weiß sie ein Duo. Das ist das, was ich sagen, ist, dass sie eine Präsentation haben. Das bedeutet, dass sie eine Präsentation haben, dass sie eine Präsentation haben.

02:21:22 Actually, how? Like, go next, take their fight up on high ground. This is wonderful. It stinks for Atlas to go down here, but I really am shocked that we're looking at this zone that is pulling to wall, and we have so few squads that have actually prioritized the spot. Cybercats have taken the inside of the building, which, as you said, completely empty up until now, and they are one of two squads. It's Cybercats and Empire that even have a toe inside the ring. Yes.

02:21:51 Und das ist die Sache, dass sie jetzt wahrscheinlich für Placement Points spielen können, aber ich denke, wenn sie können, sollte sie mit 3P werden, wenn es ein Double Trades gibt. Aber wir haben Gonex gesehen. Das ist Textbook Play von Gonex. Sie haben ihre Backen mit der Zone gehalten, kam von Tunnel und Clean, die Hype haben. Jetzt haben sie einen Freerrein mit Triple Red Armour, Superstack, das wir wissen, Tyler und Cashier sind nicht Red zu tun. Und Tyler ist auf Red hier.

02:22:16 Der nächste Spiel ist nicht mehr so glücklich. Sie sehen jemanden in die Void, als Team Listen to Getaway momentarily. 3D Max, however, nicht so glücklich, will fall. Das bleibt uns mit 8 Team left. Cybercats warten für mehr Team zu sterben, weil sie...

02:22:35 Yeah, I think they're guaranteed. I think GoNext is pretty much guaranteed here. We'll have to see depending on where they land with the Balloon. Can they get this rest off? They... I don't think they can, actually.

02:22:58 Ja, das war rough, aber ich denke, wir werden sehen, wo sie landen sind. Nur sechs Teams sind in Circle 5. Es ist ein vieles Spielraum, so zu sprechen. Es geht um, welches Teams sind aus der Zone zu sein. Oh, das ist es! Mit Vatgen Community zu gehen, beide Cybercats und GoNext zu bekommen, die Necessary Points sind. Sie sind beide auf Matchpoint. Und ich meine, jetzt...

02:23:19 You really don't have to worry. Go next. Yeah, they're gonna play for the win, but if they die, they are not too concerned. You've got what you came for. Go next or eating a lot of nays. So they, this resignation may be for the best. Yeah, definitely. And I'm, you know, I'm happy to see both teams doing so well. And even Cyberkants as a duo here, you see, trying to mock them up, which they ended up doing as a duo. Still playing proactive.

02:23:42 Weil sie wissen, dass sie einfach nur für einen Punkt sind. Ich weiß nicht, ob sie sich an der eigentlichen Match Point sind oder nicht. Aber immer noch das Tempo ist wirklich gut. Wir haben nur ein paar Teams leften. Cyberkatz als ein Duo. ETHERNAL, EMPIRE und die FULL ENGLISH. Will ETHERNAL haben Height? Sie haben keine Stang Power. Es ist FULL ENGLISH, die sind in der Mitte der Zone. Kyner will es finden, eine Zip-Line für die Team.

02:24:11 Ja, Full English should be dead here, because they're in a spot where they should be getting shot from everyone the moment Eternal starts looking at them. They should be getting shot at from Underbridge as well.

02:24:36 I'm a little confused, we haven't seen it earlier, but is this one of the things where they're not confident, maybe? They should be playing space a lot earlier, cleaning out their side to play that area later on when the zone closes, because the zone is actually in their favor, but if they let them live, it's really bad for them. An EMP right now would just obliterate Full Anglish's position.

02:24:57 Yeah, as a duo nonetheless, they're not scared, they're double gold mossies.

02:25:25 Double red, getting some kills here. One of them going down, though, is bad. Eternal managed to stay alive, not clean up the fight underneath them, however. But they are deathballing, making sure nobody goes down. But will we see a triple drop here is the question. And we do see the triple drop and clean up. Now they're the stacked team. I think they should be able to close this game out. Suradel.

02:25:46 Will Fall, FullEnglish are gone, and it's just CyberCats, just the singular player against Eternal, who Death Balls super effectively, taking Game 4 in style. Very nicely played by Eternal, who've moved themselves far up the leaderboards. Will it be enough to put them in the conversation for Match Point? Because now is the countdown graceful. Now is when we look at teams like CyberCats and like GoNext and go...

02:26:14 Are these squads, who have been dominant so far, going to be able to close it out? Close it out, indeed. And Eternal's showing that they could close out games, but I'm a little bit sad on their lackluster proactiveness of getting kills because winning games is important. But like we said, they might have moved up to the leaderboard, but only two teams so far stay at the top. And they are really consistent teams. Will one of them close it out? We'll see. Maybe, you know, hoping for a long series for people that are watching at home.

02:26:40 And I hope we just get some good ass Apex, that's it. You know what would really hurt, actually, is, or what does hurt even now, is CyberCats and GoNext, of course, are on Matchpoint. FaZe is in third right behind with 37 points. They are still pretty far, honestly, away from Matchpoint, and it's only because of what CyberCats did to them.

02:27:03 Ja, Cyberkast ist ein Pro-Aktiv. Wie wir sehen, das ist die Sache, wenn man viele gute Teams spielen, wie ich sage, in der gleiche Macro ist. Du bist in der gleiche Path. Du bist in der gleiche Macro. Du wirst eine Team nur kommen auf dem Top. Und wenn das, wenn das Faces weg ist, dann würde ich wahrscheinlich auf Matchpoint jetzt sein. Aber Cyberkast ist, besonders Arktik mit der Vendetta. Sieht, hey, ich werde was es tun, was es geht, ob wir gewinnen. Das ist das Gefühl von ihm. Und ich denke, das ist so eine gute Mentalität zu haben.

02:27:32 ETHERNAL, Cybercats, Full Anglisch. The top 3 right now. ETHERNAL!

02:27:43 Sie haben, wie wir gesagt haben, ein bisschen konservative in das letzte Reign. Sie nicht gehen für die Wipe-On to Full-English. Sie haben auf ihre Back-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-Toe-T

02:28:09 Ja, das ist die Sache. Das ist das, was wir sprechen über, ist das, dass sie die Einladung für die Teams zu beantworten. Und gute Teams vielleicht ein Triple Swing machen, und wenn du nur zwei oder nur eins aufhörst, das ist dann, dass du aufhörst, und du verlierst die Spiel, die du in den Top 3 solltest. Oder sogar eine Win-Garantied, richtig? Wobei ich nicht, was ich sagen würde, was ich sagen würde, was ich sagen würde, was ich sagen würde, was ich sagen würde, was ich sagen würde, was ich sagen würde. Ich würde es machen, und wenn ich sterbe, das ist mir schlecht.

02:28:37 Aber ich würde nicht sagen, ob diese Team wird uns oder sie schießen, und wenn sie uns schießen, dann sind wir dead. So, ja. Sie hat sich geöffnet, aber es ist auch ein Glück, weil wenn das Bound passiert, wie du gesagt hast, was auf Cybercats passiert. Es war nicht. Ich hoffe, dass sie ein bisschen aufstehen, aber es ist immer gut, egal.

02:28:57 Ja, ich meine, das ist ein wirklich guter Spiel. Ich bin noch immer für Teams wie Atlus, die wirklich fantastische Games haben, auf World's Edge, zu nehmen das Momentum und nehmen das Stormpoint Momentum, weil Stormpoint, das jetzt ist, jetzt für heute, wir können zurückkommen, nach zwei Maps.

02:29:13 Ja, definitiv. Und wie gesagt, Teams haben stärker und stärker maps. Und ich denke, die Teams auf Matchpoint sind jetzt gerade...

02:29:41 Es ist verrückt, denn jetzt muss man sich das Team wiederholfen, oder nicht. Manchmal muss man sich nicht wirklich aufhören, aber man muss man sich nicht aufhören, dass der Tournament weitergeht, so man kann man den Matchpoint zu machen. Kann man das machen? Es ist zu sehen. Es ist sicher. Wir haben so viel zu reden. Dropships ist sicher eine von ihnen, aber wir werden die Chance auf das und mehr wiederholfen, wenn wir zurückkommen.

02:31:44 It is at the point where it can conclude, Zephyr. That means the tensions are high in the LCQ with CyberCats and GoNext being the ones with a chance to stamp their tickets to Japan. Now granted, we have very rarely seen winners that hit Matchpoint immediately deliver on that following with the win, but it can happen. So let's go over a little bit of what may occur here after Game 5. If it is in fact CyberCats, of course, or potentially GoNext who do work out with this win.

02:32:14 The winner will have to step away from the match, and we will go into another additional minimum there of Game 6. After Game 6 is completed, we will take the top two scoring teams, well, my apologies, the winner, of course, of our match point, and the highest scoring team to send on forward to the championship. But dear, that's only if two of these 20 teams happen to win this one.

02:32:39 Und, ich weiß nicht, das ist ein ziemlich low-percentage. Cybercats haben bereits gewonnen heute gewonnen, also vielleicht sind sie in ihren favoren, als sie gewonnen haben, die erste Win-Win der LCQ gewonnen haben. Aber es ist so oft, dass wir Teams sehen, ich meine, auch wenn wir auf Land sind. Wir haben die Coach-Up-Gaming-Gladiators in hier. Sie waren fantastisch! Hit-Match-Point in drei Games, und still...

02:33:04 Für Cybercats, ich bin ein bisschen mehr überraschend, denn sie haben das Win für Go-Next.

02:33:20 Faze, Atlas, Empire, Eternal, Volange. These squads are still so far behind from Axel.

02:33:49 Das war die 50 Punkte in diesem nächsten Spiel. 13 ist das Minimum für Phaseclam. Ich habe gesagt, dass wir ein bisschen darüber reden können. Wenn wir in eine Situation wie dieses ... ... ist, dass die Dropship tatsächlich ist. Wir nicht oft sehen es. Und in einem Lobby wie dieser, vielleicht nicht.

02:34:15 But in, say, yesterday's Elim Round 2 for the LCQ, we did see people shifting up their drop spots to see who would qualify into the top 10, especially when things got later. Now that we've got the chance to end it all, now that we've got teams on match point, shifting your drop spots is a valid strategy to either collect more KP or shut down a team that's on match point. It's so difficult, Dia, though, with so many of our teams still searching for the points that they...

02:34:43 Luka talked about this earlier as well, but why make things difficult for yourself? Why fight the best teams? It is a

02:35:11 Das ist eine große Spiel-Risk-Reward. Obviamente, wenn man die Cyber-Katz oder Go-Nex ist, das ist gut. Aber wenn man sie auf sie hat, ist wirklich ein sehr hochwertiges Prozent.

02:35:25 It's unlikely. It is something that we'll keep our eyes on as, again, playing for points, dropping on perhaps weaker teams could be the play. And you can find out who does that, who's thinking about it, what's going on in their heads with Face It Watch, the official Multiview streaming platform for the ALGS. I like that Face It Watch up just...

02:35:43 Honestly, for the map, for my own peace of mind. And then alternate POVs as I see who's in a good position, who has the chance to win it all for that particular game. So use it as you like. Send us your favorite comms. I know they've got Eclipse feature now, so there's a plethora of things you can do and enjoy on Faceit Watch as we prepare for our fifth and maybe final game to decide who's winning the match point.

02:36:11 I won't put that curse out there yet, as our dropship makes its way through Dia. It is a slightly more even positioning for the map. Straight across the edge there, it is a priority for both the Cybercats and GoNex, starting in Harvester and Monument. For our farther northern squads and southern teams, they might have a bit of a delay. But for matchpoint entities, it is maybe as best as you could have imagined.

02:36:35 Silly and enhanced game, still splitting over at Survey Appy, and I'm keeping my eyes out for any additional contestants. At least for this game, it does look like we'll be going a little bit further south. Things like Lava Siphon in play, even Geyser actually looking pretty good if you'd like to rotate early. Some teams like Fat Kid Community, who have a ring console and ANC outplayed over at Lava Siphon, who have a ring console, can actually make very quick rotates to move themselves into the zone.

02:37:04 Hm. You think anyone remembers how to play South? It's been a hot minute. I'd like to hope so. Actually, fun fact on this, Golem, we haven't talked about them too much, especially for World's Edge, but Golem, who are playing through the South Side, who have Launch Site and Dome, also get a ring console with this and have a fast rotation. This actually could be the game where we finally see the Golem pop off that dominated Challenger Circuit.

02:37:34 It's a setup there, but as we get a little bit more information regarding our second zone, we do spell out what could be either a finish out towards that geyser area, or more importantly, in front of it, currently where you see the western side of Team Listen right now. It is probably one of the more difficult end zones to pick up there, albeit there is a lot of cover that sustains you out into that endgame with things like the geyser and lava siphon being in play, the height.

02:38:01 Dictates so much of what happens in those final moments, and for the majority of the game, it isn't really an advantageous spot to play. It's for this reason that actually playing for a Ring 3 scan can be super good in this game. I'd love to see teams that are playing around the edge, say somebody like FaZe out of SkyWest, actually move in from the south.

02:38:25 Und versuchen, alle die Schäden sie bekommen haben, Tränen, Lava Siphon und auch in Stax selbst zu bekommen, um ein bisschen mehr Informationen zu finden, wo die Ring ist. Talk über Late-Game in Matchpoint, und die Veränderung sie haben gemacht. Pullen Revenant aus Revenent ist etwas, das nicht unbedingt erwartete, für Teams, die sich far von qualifizieren.

02:38:53 All right, it's high tempo. It takes it directly into the 3v3 exchange. They lead with an EMP on the Crypto that we did see with that roster. And potentially for the squad that finds themselves in 18th with 9 points, it is a potential return. Granted, this is what makes match points scary. Squads changing things up and even feeling as far away as they do leads to some additional chaos where it does get a bit more heated for rosters knowing they need to pick up a wealth of points.

Cybercats' Taktik und Zonenkontrolle

02:39:21

02:39:21 This is an interesting rotate and one that is just in time. Cybercats cutting off 3D Max actually have Grandma's House, which if this zone does go as you predicted, Zephyr, to the outside of Geyser, in between it and Lava Siphon, Grandma's House is akin to a Godspot.

02:39:38 Ja, es kann auch sehr gut für die Transition zu Height. Wenn es geht, dann geht es weiter nach links, wo wir sehen, dass die Bredge an der Externe der Lava Siphon ist, dann muss man sich über die Transition. Wenn es die Externe der Geyser ist, dann wird es...

02:39:54 Could be potentially looking like a dominant setup for Cybercats, especially because when we compare to so many of the other positions you can play into from this zone, you don't have the issue of defensive nature, right? Grandma's House has a place to pull back into, and on top of that, it's not that hard to cover with teams having to either climb the heights of Geyser to get to you, or more importantly, cross ahead of so much other pressure here on the outside of Northern Lava Siphon. DMS will get the chance to see a couple of teams rotating by them.

02:40:23 We did see them set up to hit the Survey Beacon, and Cybercats now have an easier job than almost anyone just holding on to high ground. Pushing Grandma's house is incredibly difficult. Not a lot of people will choose to oob this or even jump with the evac tower onto it because it is really risky.

02:40:41 And it's easy to show presence as a team like CyberCats to keep other squads from pushing onto you. GoNext, also on Matchpoint, we'll be playing through the same side of the ring, but instead over through Lava Siphon that should naturally separate them from CyberCats. It's a bit far on the west side. We'll have to see how they play out within the transition for the likes of Team Ah, though.

02:41:04 The Forge shadows unleashed here. Granted, it's not the speed or aggression that I'd see with an ultimate like that. A bit slow on the pace, and while they find damage to boot on Bambino from afar here, I mean, four seconds to go, you've cut a lot of your utility out of the picture now. I don't know if they'll really be able to find purchase in this fight, and like you say, now you've got one less ult to work with.

02:41:27 The fact that they've even managed to force out a Bangalore ult is impressive, and in large part just due to the gunplay. Lots of damage thrown in by Ah. But now they're thinking about a rotation out, what the next couple of zones look like for them, because as much as you want kills, you can't just recklessly abandon everything, all the macro that's gotten you to this point. You just still have to think about the end zone, and if I choose to rotate south, I do like it for them, with the chance to pick up a lot more Survey Beacons and make their way into Ring, relatively uncontested.

02:41:57 Remember, statistically, we look towards seven or eight games when it comes to match play. And while we are hyping up what could potentially be the end here, we have to look at the fact that they're still on the board, at least this match plus two others, and maybe even a fourth available for so many of these teams. If you're sitting at that 10 or even 20 point mark, when you just do simple division, a 10 or even sub 10 six point is enough to keep you competitive to potentially show up. Because remember, I mean, even talking about the other LCQs,

02:42:27 Es war Havoc und Reignite in den anderen Regionen, auf den Strike of Dawn, in die 7gegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegegege

02:42:45 Und K.Y.L., eigentlich. Wir können sie einfach auf den Norden sehen, in dieser Chokepoint, das führt in Geyser. Diese Caves sind sehr gefährlich. Aber die Ring-Zephyr führt weiter in Geyser, als viele Teams haben erwartet. Teams wie Enhanced Aim und Rolling Teams wollen das zu führen, aber es sind DMS, die sind für Ring 3.

02:43:06 Now, something that is concerning here is with that ring not exactly centering hard on the edge towards the east there, there is the potential for the re-pull back over towards the western side where we are looking towards teams, not just like listening further, but ANC and the full English who are hosting more of a dominant spot in the angle there. Granted...

02:43:25 Still, always a really nice rotation for squads that are within the geyser area. They don't have to worry about those major northern choke points that we just broke up or anything else on the, we'll say, exterior of this PUI. It is one of the harder ones to get into when we talk about potential late games. This caught my eye, though. GoNext, who we're actually playing in zone, have rotated way far out to the edge to play through the south side of the map. That's actually going to put GoNext and Ah on the same rotation.

02:43:55 Und es ist sehr öfter, mich zu sehen, Kashera, sogar in eine LCQ, von innen der Zone zu sehen, auf den Weg zu der Seite, und starte zu spielen, Etch. Ich meine, ich war mit der Western Position von Lava Siphon. Das ist nicht sogar comparabel hier. Das ist vielleicht etwas, was wir missen in der Minor-Micro, das vielleicht hat sich an impact von anderen Teams, aber...

02:44:19 Arguably, it doesn't change the fact that they are far and away from a positioning. Granted, Tyler, you've got some extreme prowess for the fighting potential on this roster to make Edge work for you. But we're talking to Geyserzone. I just told y'all. I just told y'all it's difficult. Guess we'll find out how Gonex should deal with that difficulty because...

02:44:42 Especially, I mean, moving out of Siphon, moving out of the south. They're all going to be tough. Synetic does fine to knock. That was not great for Cybercats, as the bat did go off, but didn't really help him. That means that Cybercats are now a duo, and we could see a bit of revenge from FaZe, who now are positioned perfectly to clean up the Cybercats and do what was done to them in Game 4.

02:45:07 For FaZe, they have the advantage on the duo, and with Synetic now breaking out the zip for the push ahead. EMP to follow suit with Mozam's in hand. Delivering final blow, always available, but it seems like things have gotten quieted up here. Cybercats yeeted right out of here, not wanting to deal with the fight.

02:45:25 Und es ist ein guter Ding, auch. Ein paar Naves werden in den Arktik getrennt. Aber es ist Atlus, die jetzt auf den Cybercats sind. Was ist jetzt hier passiert? Fürbidden Gaming sind die Mitglieder des Mitgliedstaates. Und Atlus ist in der Low-Ground-Position sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.

02:45:47 Oh, still really, really nice setup there. I like that. Having the zip potential for the repositioning above. While it's not really endgame positioning, it does give much more safety to what usually can be a punished spot here. And especially now with the visual aid of seeing where these teams might be coming into play here from Lava Siphon or even behind, down below, whispers of the embers of a team we saw far from the south. Hilariously, those Cybercats, they'll take advantage of this rotation.

02:46:16 Pretty nice for them. I mean, I think this was largely why we saw a team like Atlas rotate on up to the high ground. They saw that Cybercats were rotating into them, didn't have full information. For Cybercats, it is temporary safety, and I do really mean only temporary, because there is so much pressure towards this south side of the map. I'm expecting to see this duo go down very quickly. My sea falling is just the start of that. Well, Cybercats are going to try and stick the res. Who knows what could come for them next?

02:46:45 Und das wird es für ein bisschen von einem Watson-Frienden, die du vorhin hast, und jetzt zu vielleicht nur noch einen. Das wird die Cybercats eliminiert, nicht nur von diesem Spiel, aber in 20er zu sagen. Für GoNex eSports ist nicht viel besser hier, DIA.

02:47:05 Still trapped towards the south side. 30 seconds left. You've got to imagine with the way that GoNexter are playing right now that they have an evac tower and I'm just going to hail Mary this. But Atlas and FaZe Clan were actually ahead of them in terms of positioning for this ring. Are just behind in the standings. Atlas at 40 points. FaZe at 38. And Empire just behind at 35. These three teams could be your next squads on match point.

02:47:33 Really, really appreciate the pressure here from both Atlas and what we see now as Awe get into the mix here, taking that positioning away. I did want to highlight GoNext does have EBAC available, and while it isn't the best of options for them, going in blind, it's the one they'll have to work with. And there we go. Where will they end up landing? Do they go mod side? Do they go geyser side?

02:47:57 Das ist die Geyser-Side-Rotation. Und wir landen sie in den Open. Go-next.

02:48:15 Meanwhile, defending a push from Empire actually let a lot of the gap be closed before an eventual disengage comes through from Empire. Synetic looking to clean up this side of the fence, wraps with the Mozambiques and puts in serious work, taking down young Hong Kong to being traded back. It's just Mags now with the nemesis who cleans up Empire and keeps FaZe Clan alive.

02:48:34 Für eine Sekunde, da ist es, wie es die Ende des Phase ist, aber Nags hältst die Fort hier für Solid Resets. Go Nags, als wir über sie tuneieren, wie du gesagt, Essential Position 1, Dangerous, speziell mit welchen Angeln von der Backkirche in einem Moment, sind bereits sehr low. Looking für die Necessary Resets, Krypto komplett eliminiert. In der Meanwhile, vielleicht nicht sogar die Exchange. Ja, einfach nur auf die Cells zu boot.

02:49:02 Und Atlus' Highground ist einfach so gut für sie. Es macht es einfacher zu nehmen. Und es wird ein FULL-WIPE auf Kashera, ein extra Punkt für Atlus, als Tyler geht für die kille. Dreihard Thor ist für diese Last Clutch. Tyler wird die Swap, aber diese Mozambiaks geht wild! Und Tyler bleibt in der Fight für so lange bevor es geht!

FaZe Clans Aufstieg und Zonenkontrolle in Spiel 5

02:49:29

02:49:29 And it means Zephyr that we are going to another game. Both our teams on Matchpoint have fallen and FaZe swoop in on Atlas. The fourth place team jumps in on top of the third place team and is going to make another wipe happen.

02:49:43 Now, this is so important for these squads on the board. I mean, this is early in the match. You've got plenty of time to be paying attention here. What you need to do now is put up the points that matter, the points that count here. For FaZe Clan, they've already taken supreme advantage of their play towards the Westingham side. But Dia, in all of that excitement, we gotta talk about something.

02:50:06 It just leaves Geyser. The ring just decides, you know what? I faked everyone out. It's time for us to have some serious fights kicking off. I feel like Geyser hasn't seen enough action recently, and Bullenglish, they are the first ones to position themselves to take advantage of it, but they are going to have to survive through one of the circles of hell to make it into the next round.

02:50:29 It is a solid positioning, but I can't imagine that'll be the only EMP we see, especially with so many of these other squads positioning out from the big mod side to take advantage of, well, what is guaranteed KP pickups from everyone walking in here. For the full English though, you do have to give credit where it's due. The Watson in play and that control should provide great advantages for the rest of the guys or squads though. And it shoes to rotate and instead the zone cleans them up.

02:50:56 Heaviest damage leader of today's match, potentially.

02:51:13 Up goes DMS, looking through the smoke for a way to engage as FullEnglish gets shot in the back from BigMod. Back in Community, looking for angles on them. DMS grabbing the high ground with the Energize zipline. DMS and FullEnglish have to fight, there's no way around it.

02:51:31 From above, Taskmaster will leap down, double Mozam's in hand, start things off, but it's on top of Andy Jax, to say the least. This fight isn't even the one that you need to be taking. It will secure at least the full wipe. There are three points on the board, but the full English have now set themselves up for the prime real estate of 3-2 extra KP.

02:51:52 So DMS, I mean, we know this. Looking at that play, they play for the points. They look for a few kills to move them further up the leaderboard, but they know that they're not hitting Matchpoint this game with that kind of play. It's 42 points that DMS sit at, 8 away from Matchpoint. FaZe still alive at 47 and full English at 39. Both teams with the chance to make it up to Matchpoint eligibility. FaZe on full red shield. Monsters in this lobby are looking like this.

02:52:21 Sie sind in der besten Platz zu tun.

02:52:50 Das ist ein 1v3 von Synetik!

02:53:11 1v3, das Ziel der Deal, Angles Galore, und ein Reset hier für sie, um sich zu setzen. Für die Vollenglisch ist es ein Survival of 1.4, aber sie müssen das Additional K.P., wenn es dann um die 50-Jährige geht, um sie zu einem 50-Jährigen zu haben. CJ auf die Recoverung, es ist nicht eine Voll-Squad-Wipe. Remember, drei Squad-Wipe, sieben Punkte auf dem Board, fünf Potenzial, für die Win-Win. Sie müssen die 1.5-Jährigen. Und wenn sie sich in 2nd-Jährigen in 2nd-Jährigen haben, sie müssen sie zu einem 1.5-Jährigen

02:53:41 of these other squads before they get to that position. And maybe that won't even be enough, Deanna. Let's not get it twisted. Phaser in a game-winning spot with high ground, with essentially a 3v3 in front of them. The one rat positioned near full English. Things look...

02:53:59 All of the advantages are there for base clean. Triple reds on high ground. Every loot box they can imagine. And now it is just a straight 3v3. Full English do find the red. That kid community go down. I hear a Kraber shot ring out, though there is not purchase found with it. And Synetic, who has been cleaning up squads, moving into this final zone, has the chance to do it one more time to clutch things up for the team.

02:54:28 Six shots in the chamber, six opportunities to seal a successful fate, to pick up a win, to prove not just to the other rosters that you've hit matchpoint, but that you've got the capabilities to walk home today with the win in that championship position. It's already a crack there, and that is the go button ahead, paired with the EMP, double Mozams in hand. Do they even have?

02:54:52 Das ist ein 3-V-2. Nags ist der Wunsch für Feiyus Clan. Der 2-2-2 und der 1-2-2-2-2.

02:55:09 This is a terrifying statistic that you've got to accept now here for anyone in our current Last Chance Qualifier. Phase Game 3, Phase Game 5, and now in a position to potentially put themselves on their way to Japan. This is a team that...

02:55:29 Wenn Sie die Möglichkeit haben, Sie wissen wie zu closeouten. Wenn Sie in die letzten drei, vier Quatschen haben, haben Sie auf die höchste Level gegen die besten Teams in der Welt gespielt. Und obwohl der Röster ist, selbst ich frage mich, ist die Schiff noch der gleichen Schiff? Jetzt haben wir alle die Spiele gespielt. Sie haben Synetik auf den Helm, auf Pathfinder, ist einfach eine monstroszene.

02:55:54 All right, Theseus. Well, I'll tell you what here. From the distance that they pick up that win, that's what makes me most impressed. Starting off all the way from the Skyhook side, we understand zone play wins. I mean, the macro potential is always in your favor, especially with most polls being semi-obvious. This game maybe not being one, but...

02:56:14 To still make the edge play out in your favor for FaZe, not just in the win, but in so many ways, how they capitalized on these exterior teams to pick up the points that propel them into the top 50 was, well, a sight to see 12 KP to top out our board coming out of match five.

02:56:32 24 points puts them at 61 overall cyber cats are just behind them at 58 in the overall standings but full english with a 17 point game move up pretty far in the standings themselves but we still have mostly phase clan that we're looking at with our match point eligibility there are a lot of teams that with this game with our fifth game now on world's edge have put themselves within touching distance they could they could

02:57:01 breathe themselves over the match point line.

02:57:04 A little bit of a team comparison here, especially there at the end. The full English take great advantage of that major pull away from Geyser, where we got to see them invest some damage in those late rotating squads from the heart of our Geyser. Instead, though, they do still take great advantage coming out of that choke to propel themselves against so many of the other rosters that were holding the big mod side for, we'll say, longer than the rest. And even though they don't pick up the 50 there, it is a sign of life.

02:57:34 from a roster that's now just, I mean, barely a match away. They could play half the match and set themselves up onto the points game. Atlas just behind 47, full English 47. DMS, the team that everyone was looking at coming into today at 42. They've still got a chance to win this with as close as they are. Match point is very difficult to close out. We could see DMS ride the wave further up the standings. Keep your eyes on them.

02:58:05 Yeah, they had great KP potential and found the damage to boot there. Couldn't survive the onslaught of that big rotate, but kind of in that same similar vein of the full English where we're looking for signs of life. This team who had incredible standings in the EMEA region might be now in the position to work their way forward. I'll tell you what, Zephyr.

02:58:25 We have gotten multiple teams on Matchpoint, much like we had last game. But with every single game, the stakes get higher. The chances of it being the last game increase. And we're going to toss to a very quick break before we find out what lies on the other side. Battle Beaver is the official controller partner of the Apex Legends Global Series.

02:59:59 Welcome back to the Apex Legends Global Series Last Chance Qualifier, where it's not done yet, but it might be after this next match. We had yet another squad get themselves on to match point eligibility after match number five, and that was FaZe with...

03:00:30 Damage runs out of Synetic that I've seen in a very long time.

03:00:36 Ein absoluter Dwarfing Stat-Line, natürlich für Synetik, mit der Mehrheit der KP. Wir sind jetzt in der Serie total mit 6,000 Dämmung aus dem Spiel. Ein totaler 16 Kills aus unserer recenten Games. Ein absoluter Absurd-Number. Das hat leden zu einer Major-Leadung und leden zu der Dämmung von Teams wie Rolling Fighting, hier auf der interior des Trunk.

03:01:16 This is a solid setup, but one that I question regarding what could be the potential for a win there. We have to admit the zone.

03:01:43 Well, it had a mind of its own coming out of Match 5 there, and the Phase Clan took perfect advantage of that. But if we have to look at it with some reality to the situation, they were not in a fantastic spot to potentially walk away from a win with that game until we got to that Zone 5 and further here. Still, though, they've proven...

03:02:03 Und natürlich für alle Leute, dass es die Spielplaner, die Spielplaner sind, die Spielplaner sind und die Spielplaner sind. Und natürlich für alle, dass es die Spielplaner sind, die Spielplaner sind und die Spielplaner sind.

03:02:30 First piece of the puzzle will be, where is that zone going to pull? Will any of our teams have a favorable zone to work with here in match number six that are already on match point? This is going to be an exciting one's effort. Now, we did touch on this a little bit. There is no supplied minimum at this point for the games. If it ends here, it ends here. And what does that mean for so many of our...

03:02:55 Other teams out there still competing. We've got three squads now on Matchpoint, but that chokehold they had on the top two is maybe not as secure here. Katz at 58, Faze at 61. It is a bit of a lead, but for so many of our other teams, it's getting to the point where they need to catch up there if they want to host themselves within that second position, depending on who maybe finishes our game.

03:03:20 Absolutely, and you know CyberCats and GoNext are going to be paying attention to that if they don't feel like they're in a solid position to win, at least keeping their points, like you're saying, high enough to put themselves in second place and clinch that second spot, because it all really can be done after this, and we finally get a chance to take a look here at where this is potentially going to be polling right now. GoNext!

03:03:43 ...kould do something with this, though, and they're able to get that information. Full English, we just mentioned, is only three points shy of Matchpoint. If all three of our teams that are eligible go out, this is also an opportunity for Full English to come up. Yeah, should be secured. You heard Dia talking about it. You barely breathe on the scoreboard, and Full English are right there in Matchpoint positioning. And the game has...

03:04:04 Well, we have an enemy out there. Getting a chance to

03:04:33 Check in with Silly here at the beginning of this match. Now they are up by Survey Camp and they do have Enhanced Aim in their general vicinity. So we'll have to see if they're looking to avoid this early engagement or if they want to fight for that console, see if they can get that information. You see Enhanced Aim hitting that Evo Harvester looking like they don't want to have to fight right now at all.

03:04:56 Das ist großartig, ich meine...

03:05:24 They have Overlook. They had that ring console over there if they really wanted to get some information. I mean, they moved over to these rocks. How many times have we seen these zones shift just north of this Overlook area into these rocks? And they know how to play this. So it's all about who's going to be moving up there early with them. KYL was up north at Climatize. They're going to be able to make an early shift in that direction towards Full English. And we'll have to see how both of those teams want to handle holding down that position. Meanwhile, Cybercats.

03:05:53 Another eligible squad moving through this tunnel. This is an extent of the rotate over there towards that harvester side after coming out from initial POI looting. Notably, they don't have that scan yet. Just about to pick it up here from the landslide. And this could be very difficult for them in terms of where they sustain that future rotate here. But for now...

03:06:16 Empire in Team Awe, a 3v3, that I mean for Empire is incredibly important. 15 points away from Match Point is actually not too shabby at all.

03:06:27 Yeah, they're definitely in a position where they can't afford to be passive yet with how many teams are also within striking distance of being on match point. Definitely an opportunity for them to be a little bit aggressive and see if they can get some early game KP. They don't have other teams in the area to worry about, so if they do decide to get aggro onto A and push this fight, they could be safe as far as getting that reset as well and then continuing on their rotation. They decide to not push it too hard and just kind of keep things...

03:06:56 Going a little bit smoothly for them here. Team, listen. Also.

03:07:02 Ich glaube, es gibt noch mehr Luton Informationen. Die größte Sache ist, dass die Leute wissen, wo diese Zone ist, dass sie so viele Teams haben bereits in die Priorität zu gehen. Und wenn sie nicht so weit sind, wie sie das tun? Ist das eine Situation, wo sie zu agressivieren müssen und versuchen sie das KP zu bekommen? Oder haben sie noch ein wenig Zeit?

03:07:27 Das ist die Sache, besonders mit Matchpoint. Die Klocke ist immer ticker hier. Du wirst nicht wissen, wann es wird. Natürlich, für die Likes...

03:07:35 Team Listen, they are one of the first teams. Rolling teams on the other side of things had high presence toward that last big mod zone coming out of Game 5, and this time around are in a similar situation, making for quick rotates, but have opted below. Not something that, well, without really good call times on the potential third party or a really nice access point can work out in their favor.

03:08:02 You can see everybody starting to claim some space. All surrounding full English. As everyone is anticipating that northeastern above overlook pull for this zone. DMS though, we've heard you guys talking about it last match. We've mentioned them throughout the day. A team that I think we all had some really high expectations for. Not on match point yet, but only 8 points away. And that is a game that they are more than capable of having.

03:08:32 Now set up within that position over towards the Overlook side. They've albeit slowed what they're known for in terms of that kind of KP-driven entity, but I mean, have set themselves up definitely.

03:08:43 definitely very well for the easy eight here for go next pressured out is the issue they've run into here and especially for a team that does start early off on the monument side it doesn't bode well for what might be the transitions that they need to make it was just earlier we were talking about squads like enhanced dame making their way across fairly early here so one of the actual few teams to be out of this zone

03:09:12 All right, we saw for a second where that next ring was going to be shifting. Rolling teams and Forbidden. Gonna be very happy with that. An opportunity for Cybercats to play this edge as well if they take out Golem. Give themselves a little bit of space to hold for a bit.

03:09:33 Just ranches. Just ranches. I'm going to get to catch that one over on the end here. And it gets a lot more difficult now with a peek at that future zone. You know, there's a lot to sustain when it goes over towards the rocks. And I talk about the transitions outside of bridge. That's not really eligible anymore. You're either height or bust now.

03:09:54 Wenn es zu den Overlook enden, wo der Zone ist, ist es eine große Herausforderung. Und du kannst dich nicht mehr auf den Weg machen, dass du dich auf den Weg wirst. Du hast die Truppe, du hast ein paar Spiele, aber das kann nur ein paar Spiele sein, von zwei bis drei Gruppen.

03:10:21 And you can see Forbidden, one of those teams with those fences set up, ready to go. Now real happy where they've ended up positionally. But they're going to have to worry about all those teams now moving back towards them. That opted for just slightly farther north. Listen will be right on the inside of that next ring. Forbidden's going to be looking that way towards that Sniper Tower, seeing who is potentially pushing down from above. Meanwhile, FaZe Clan obviously coming over.

03:10:50 from that skyhook area so they're one of the last teams here moving their way towards the zone and honestly that might provide them with a little bit of safety as go next is starting to see uh those rotations coming through pick them on up pick them on up far and away that's what you have to do to play thank you thank you and that's it not much more after that

03:11:20 I'm a big fan, I'm a big fan. Meanwhile, he's running into Eternal.

03:11:27 A little bit of a verticality disparity here that they're trying to deal with, but after what we saw Sinetic was capable of, I don't think he's too concerned about it. Makes the way up. Yeah, he's got this one covered. I like that. Positioning from Nags on the other side. This makes for a really nasty line of sight from both angles. And that's actually going to force Bambino down there and walking up as two. Sinetic has to be careful of the side lane there. Forced to drop down. Low health. I'm glad.

03:11:55 Glad they take advantage of that one. I mean, it is risky for Synetic to make that move. Could they call him? They call him on his bluff. I like it.

03:12:05 This will be interesting to see what Bayes decides to do here, too, because they don't have to force this engagement with Ethernal. They have a lot of space towards the southeast if they want to start rotating down and away from this that they don't like the angles that this fight is providing for them. But right now, they're content to just kind of... There you go. Yeah, they decide to disengage. I think this is actually going to work out well for them because there's nobody that... I mean, they don't know this, but there's nobody else down there for them to have to contend with.

03:12:32 Ja, set up ahead here, it still does kind of bring back that issue of how do they make for transition into this endzone, because if they got the opportunity to play from the epicenter side after taking out Eternal, that opens up the conversation maybe a little bit more, given that they have a better access towards visual. A, taking what could be positions that they see from those squads off of Rotate from Overlook, and then playing off of things like Synetic on that path.

03:12:59 We're going to put this directly on that no-name hillside where Forbidden currently hosts themselves.

03:13:28 So, es wird interessant zu sehen, wie Cybercats handeln, zwischen PhaseClan und allen anderen. Das ist auf der anderen Seite der nächsten Schritt.

03:13:42 You can see Fat Kid Community moving in towards Forbidden as well, and this is gonna be a rough push-in for a lot of these teams coming from the north side. Wish I could draw for a second there. There's a big access point on Hype that is not taken by anybody. Granted, it is difficult to hold right now, but whoever plays into it in just a moment...

03:14:03 auf der anderen Seite von Epicenter könnte eine sehr viel Power-Push geben. Aber zu sprechen von Faze, sie müssen die Rotation auf der Westen finden. Aber wie kann sie das Spiel machen?

03:14:20 Ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin

03:14:47 Okay!

Turbulenzen und strategische Wendungen im späteren Spiel

03:15:15

03:15:15 What is this? I don't understand how that happened. Forbidden's moved out, but Gonex was... That was incredible. That is a rotation that just should not be allowed. And maybe it plays into part what I was trying to talk about with that previous zone where 3D Max was. It was completely open. That's a big sightline that potentially Gonex didn't have to worry about on this rotation.

03:15:41 I mean, defending this spot is still difficult. Let's not get it wrong, right? But it is a highlight of an endzone that has now directed itself directly on top of one of our only matchpoint rosters. Yeah, it's going to be difficult for them to hold that. Meanwhile, enhancing takeout KYL. Forbidden moving off of that probably is going to bode well for them, though. They're on the slow side of the zone now, and they've got everyone in front of them.

03:16:10 das sie wirklich anstrengen zu können. Sie sehen viele von diesen Teams aus dem Westen auch. Sie haben den Solo, Cyberkathen, Golem und Ah, auf der Seite. Aber Forbidden könnte sein, dass viele die Teams jetzt in und jetzt weitergehen können. Sie versuchen, den Platz für einen langen Zeitpunkt zu halten. Wenn Sie die Fulenglisch-Team-Listen sind, DMs über sie, die dann in die Souther Richtung kommen. Es wird ein bisschen chaotisch.

03:16:35 Well, it's already started here. Cybercats, your first squad eliminated within the Chaos. Down in 15th cements the fact that we've only got two teams, one out of seven here, that have the potential to win now. FaZe, they've opted for the site where we saw 3D just beforehand. And I like this rotation. It's not one that sustains much further. And the fact that Cynetic...

03:16:56 Had to utilize the zipline to get up here. Does worry me a little bit. That could have been a good rotational tool here in just a second to dictate where they might play for on this next zone. Damage on the truck though. Cracks ahead here. Phase, they've got to make a quick decision.

03:17:13 Und sie werden!

03:17:28 Sustained on the interior there. It was a perfect third party that they just said they had to book it towards. It's a position that will give them their survivability ahead. And for the full English, this is the clear that GoNext have been waiting for. I'm worried about defensive positioning. They're not even getting defensive. They put Tyler into a god spot there. Send Kashira in from behind. And it is a sealed deal. But now the third party. It just wasn't clean enough.

03:17:56 This is a massive opportunity for FaZe. They're alone, uncontested on the western side with everybody fighting towards that ring. They could potentially wrap here, start clearing these teams out. That's exactly what they're trying to do. As you can see, the damage coming out of Synetic yet again. Tries to make a move up. Mozam's in hand and is able to continue getting those shield cracks. FaZe Clan is tearing through the teams in front of them and now claiming a priel spot. Set up ahead there as Eternel are picked up.

03:18:26 Bis zum nächsten Mal. Bis zum nächsten Mal.

03:18:48 Looking real comfortable. They've got all that spare loot. They have the height. And they know exactly where they're looking when it comes to Forbidden. This is going to all be in the hands of FaZe. How do they handle this? When does Backhand community come up from that low ground? It's all going to be down to the timing here. And FaZe Clan could close the whole series out.

03:19:11 This is a really tough call here. You've got Forbidden in a position that you know you need to take at some point because you're losing space over on the edge of this coverage here. You already got JMG and Sinek trying to position out forward for what could potentially be that fight, but down below, that's chaos. We don't know where or who they might impact in any one of these given points, or more importantly, when it might happen.

03:19:41 This is going to be interesting. There is the slightest shift in favor of Forbidden for the final ring, so they might be able to wait people out just a little bit longer. It will force Bat Kid Community up.

03:19:56 Weil die extra Zeit es dauert, um die Zit zu kommen, und dann über die Zit zu kommen, während FaZe Clan ist in der waiten, so das ist eine schwierige Wahl für FaZe. Wenn sie versuchen, sie versuchen, sie zu gehen, um sie zu gehen, um sie zu gehen, um sie zu gehen, um sie zu gehen, um sie zu gehen, um sie zu gehen, um sie zu gehen, um sie zu gehen, um sie zu gehen, um sie zu gehen, um sie zu gehen. Es ist nur 40 Sekunden bevor die Ring starte zu verlassen, und Sie können sie versuchen, sie zu planen, um sie zu gehen, um sie zu gehen.

03:20:20 This is so difficult. Zipline over and across to give Synetic the flexibility to potentially make the moves necessary to pull off what might potentially be the incredible GMDW in the drone as of currently. Looking for... Well, I like that positioning there. If there is a Force Rotate ahead from Forbidden, they've already got what could be that EMP setup in prime positioning, but I mean, Fat Kid, they don't have a choice. It's Zip or Nothing here.

03:20:51 I feel like I'm stressed and I'm not even playing the game right now. That kid community are gonna have to make their move here soon, Forbidden, just patiently waiting to see the outcome.

03:21:05 This is so difficult for so many of these squads here. I don't... I mean, it would take a miracle for FaZe to come out on top of this, especially with the delay that Fat Kid have to their advantage here. But, I mean, it really comes down to when we see these squads pull the trigger. Forbidden already starting to lose out on that space on the side. And we are seeing big moves from FaZe a bit deeper ahead. They're already trying to pressure out what could be...

03:21:32 Rotation that they've successfully now defended from the north here, but Zip's still a big deal.

03:21:42 Oh. No drone.

03:22:04 This is so bad for Fat Kid Community. The Zip itself might cause them the potential harm here. A 3v3, you have to wonder if they even get a shot if they take that Zip up there. Survivability over on the other side. Do they actually have an extended period of time here to maybe wait this one out? If this is a bad fight, FaZe may not even get to heal for success. This is going to be rough already. They lose Signetic down to just a...

03:22:30 We're going to continue going with this series. We've already made our way ahead here with the elimination of FaZe, taking it to Match 7 down below. As surprising as it might be, they've got space to spare. Didn't even have

03:22:59 Wir müssen eine Sache machen!

03:23:05 Yeah, it really was a potential struggle there for a

03:23:33 Powered Position and having to deal with the fact that you've got your backside completely a lack of clarity with that zipline always in play made it impossible to feel confident.

03:23:45 The unfortunate thing too is that because they.

03:24:08 So, so close. 14 points in total. Forbidden though, with the KP and the placement points getting a nice 18.

03:24:38 Das war's.

03:24:56 We were talking about just breathing on the leaderboard for the potential to put yourself on match point, and it feels like we had no win today in the forecast. For Fat Kid Community, that is a heartbreaking position to be in. Forbidden, though, gotta highlight the success stories here. Major points picked up now at 40 on the board here. It's a struggle, though, when we talk about second place positioning for so many of these teams, because at 62 points just behind and go next, if FaZe...

03:25:26 Wenn sie nicht die gewinnen, die gewinnen und gewinnen sind, dann wird es genauso schwierig. Es wird es für diese 50-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel-spiel

03:25:50 Fervently is a good word. I mean, I really enjoyed watching that last final circle that we had. And I'll get to touch on it in a little bit, but suffice to say that Fat Kid Community had a really fantastic setup in their endgame, making use of the respawn beacons graceful. I'm sure that you were appreciative if a little bit annoyed at the heal-off as well.

03:26:12 Ja, das Heal-Off reminds me of the old Wraith days von Jahr 1, Jahr 2. Das war nicht lustig, in meiner Meinung nach. Aber ich verstehe das Spiel, weil sie nicht für die Win-Win spielen, sie spielen für die Punkte. Und sie haben den richtigen Spiel, aber ich würde sagen, dass es wirklich gut ist für sie.

Analyse der Final Circle Momente und Teamstrategien

03:26:30

03:26:30 It was this close to getting them where they wanted to be when it comes to being Matchpoint eligible. They should be able to now hit that on the next match. It just boils down to whether or not the rest of our teams who are already on Matchpoint don't win. And if we keep this going for now, we're going to take a look back at our final circle moments from the last three matches.

03:26:50 Starting off here with match number four. We're reaching back just a bit onto Stormpoint. This was a really fun match. Do you talk me through these moments?

03:27:01 At this point, Grantsville and I were going, alright, well, Eternal can't really push, they don't have a Crypto to make this happen, and they don't seem interested in taking a lot of space. Their Death Ball, I think was, that's how Grantsville put it, was super effective. Cybercats, though, were the chaos element in this final zone, as they were throughout the whole game, Zephyr. I mean, Cybercats were constantly getting aggressive on Stormpoint, and this was, of course, the game where...

03:27:28 Arktik gott his style on Symmetical.

03:27:31 Es ist lustig, du bringst das ab, aber es ist eine wehre, als die Zeit geht. Aber wie du gesagt hast, die K.P. Pressure setzt sie auf den Punkt, und vor allem, das Ziel für Eternal ist. Sie sind ein bisschen mehr Temmichwiss auf den Kampf für das 3v3, das war wahrscheinlich der schlimmste Teil für sie zu haben, aber Cyberkatz kind of, die Bühne für sie hier. Sie finden die Tiff, die Ziel der Fate, und es gibt einen vollen 3v3 3v3 für Eternal, um die letzten Moments zu enden.

03:28:00 Das war wirklich gut, in Faze's favor. Und hier ist es, wo wir Sennetik gesehen haben, durch jemanden, in fronten von ihm zu Endeffekt. Ich meine, das war ein Imprensiv für das Spiel. Das war ein Imprensiv.

03:28:27 Ja, definitiv. Die Sache, die wir in diesem Spiel gesehen haben, die wir in der letzten Spiel gesehen haben, ist, dass sie sie pro-Aktiv sind. Eine Krabber-Shot öffnet die Push, und sie schlösen die Fight wirklich gut aus. Ich bin ein bisschen scared, als ich nach Nax in der Smoke mit den Mossys gesehen habe, aber diese Krabber-Opener ist all sie brauchen, denn sie sind ein Unit, sie spielen zusammen als ein Trio, und sie wissen, wie die Dämpfe und die Dämpfe und die Dämpfe und die Dämpfe und die Dämpfe und die Dämpfe und die Dämpfe und die Dämpfe.

03:28:53 Okay, okay.

03:29:16 Ja, so, so, what happens here is really critical. Obviously, we've got FaZe in Forbidden, but Nono actually dies from the Fat Kid community, and it's because he takes the zipline up, but before he dies, he drops a mobile respawn beacon on the high ground, and that, that's what happens back on low ground when we cut back, you know, Forbidden, they're gonna kill FaZe here, and that's fine. As we cut back, we've actually got a Crypto on low ground.

03:29:44 who is hitting the res on a respawn beacon at the perfect time so that when he dies that kid community get to see that tear is actually pulling off a respawn that you hear on the high ground at the same time so like if they had both died if they had gone down to ring it would have been okay because they would have got the respawn just in time it was so cool so you just zephyr's shocked he did not notice this i didn't notice this either

03:30:11 Right? Right? That was really cool. It's so cool. I mean, of all times to be making plays like that, LCQ is absolutely where you need to be doing that. They did what they could, not only with their position, but what they needed to do based off of where they were on our overall leaderboards. They almost got themselves right into the running for match point eligibility, but like we said, if there is...

03:30:36 A time where none of these top four teams, because we thought it would be more than top four after this, top four teams don't win the match. We go again and one point is more than doable for Fat Kid Community. So really solid here so far. We'll take a look at some stats though. I want to start talking about some of these teams and these players because we have our first and second place squads right now.

03:31:04 Und du kannst sehen die Unterschiede in der Gameplay einfach aus der Placement-Präume. Ich meine, Phase und Gonex haben in der Aggression-Präume hier, Zephyr. Aber Phase ist einfach immer wieder mit der Placement-Präume.

03:31:20 I mean, there's really only one secret sauce to why that's happening there. A huge, massive performance today from Synetic. I mean, when we're making the comparison there, 7.4 thousand damage within our last few games already set with the 18kp to represent Taboo. If we're making a comparison to go next side, Tyler, albeit, yes, 17kp, doesn't have but 6.9. Still a phenomenal stat line, you know, in literally any other.

03:31:50 Situation, but Synetic of all days has come to play.

03:31:54 Now, these are, of course, the teams that are next on the leaderboard, but right outside of qualifying for champs in 3rd and 4th place, respectively. So, talk to me about these teams a little bit, Graceful. What are these stats telling you about how they've played here so far? The thing that is the most surprising part is that Cybercats actually have more placement points than Full English, despite Full English mostly rushing to zone, playing zone, and Cybercats pretty much hard sticking to edge thing mid to late speed only. But you can really see the proactive that's coming out of Cybercats.

03:32:23 und FullEnglish ist für die Konsistency. Die beiden Dinge können in der Lobby arbeiten. Die einzige Frage kommt, wenn viele Teams tun die gleiche Sache. Aber mit der Amount der Teams in dieser Lobby, die in der Upper-Enden sind, ich denke, es funktioniert beide Fälle, wie wir sehen, in den Scores. Wir haben eine Chance zu sehen, dass die Kill-Leader-Bord ist hier. Es ist nicht so froh, dass Synetik auf der Top mit 18 ist, mit Tyler mit 17 ist. Aber wir haben viele Leute hier wirklich bringen es hier.

03:32:51 Yeah, we certainly have, and I want to mention somebody who's maybe a little bit lower down on this list, just because it's interesting. Cynetic and TylerFBS have, of course, on the respective winning teams. BenRealFocus is, quick shout out to DMS as well, who has Prestes dealing the second most damage across all of our games today, even with DMS being significantly lower down on the leaderboard. Prestes hasn't even broken six kills, but he's broken 6k damage.

03:33:21 It just speaks to the aggression that we know DMS is capable of, just not having the games going their way here today, but still another opportunity for them to move forward as we get a chance to take a look back at these drops. Now we're switching maps again, going on over to Storm Point. So after what we saw the first time around, Zephyr, who?

03:33:46 Do you think could potentially change things up? Are you keeping your eyes on who's going to do well here? Talk to me about these drops. Yeah, so if we talk about who's on Matchpoint, you have a major circle of teams out there towards our southeast. I don't think folks know it's FaZe, GoNex, CyberCats. They all host themselves healthy positions.

03:34:02 Das ist eine große Positionierung in Stormpoint, aber es könnte auch die Worte für jeden von diesen Rostern. Usually, sie werden nicht besonders involviert werden, aber wenn es um die Rotation geht, auch das Lick-Game wird, dass es sehr ähnlich ist, wie diese drei Teams set sich selbst auf. Unless wir sehen, dass wir negative Rotate aus Kachere wieder auf Go-Next werden.

Matchpoint Teams und POI-Diskussionen

03:34:31

03:34:31 Match number seven is loading. I can hear the dropship getting ready. So Dia, Graceful, let's get back into it. All right, Graceful, it's time. We've got, as she said, many, many teams on Matchpoint. Four squads now could end things. Glitter has set us up perfectly for, and we're going to keep saying this if it goes on, what could be our final match? I do want to touch a little bit on the Stormpoint PYs because there's something interesting there that I wanted to talk about. FaZe picked Pylon, and I've heard a couple different opinions on Pylon.

03:35:00 Let's just talk about it. What's going on with Pylon? What in your opinion makes it a good or a bad POI?

03:35:07 Tylon, wenn es kam, war Omega Busted. Das war vorhin, wenn wir Armour spawnen. Wir haben Guaranteed Armour spawnen. Guaranteed Super Lute, essentially. Wenn das geändert wurde, die Leute zu sprechen. Und jetzt, die Leute sind still unterstämt. Die Amount der Lute. In Comp Levels, du musst nicht so viel Lute. Aber die größte Sache, das macht es stark, ist Current Active Zones. Es gibt viele Zones in den South-East. Und dann in den Nord-Zones, du hast eine freie Macro in, weil du nicht wirklich in die Teams runst. Wie wir sehen. Go Next. Base.

03:35:37 und also Cybercats alle auf der gleichen Seite der Map. All drei von den POIs, obwohl es nebenbei der POIs ist, dass sie anders spielen. Gonex ist Rushing Zone Early, Phase ist Mid-Speed, Spiel für Power Spots zu kämpfen, und Cybercats ist Hella Late. Und das funktioniert für alle. Also, das könnte das ein bisschen rough sein sein, wenn die Zone auf sie sind. Aber ich glaube, wir können die Zone gehen auf andere Seite auf der Map. Ich denke, es ist gut zu sehen.

03:36:06 Es wirklich ist. Ich habe die Hot-Zone auch auf der Devastated Coast. So, Kashera und Go-Next werden die Beneficiaries auf das. Das ist Game 7. Wir sind auf Stormpoint. 4 Teams haben die Möglichkeit zu gehen. Faze Clan, Go-Next, Cybercats und Fullenglish können ihre Tickets hier, als alle anderen Klammern für 2nd place. Will sie able to do es? Nur eine Möglichkeit zu finden. Du hast schon gesagt, Graceful.

03:36:34 This zone does appear to be pulling a little bit further north once more.

03:36:50 In Barometer, two teams that are lower end of the leaderboard are still contesting. And what have I said so many times, Zia? Even on LAN, we've seen, you know, Nasky and Zac going through it. You guys are both throwing away your potentials to win or even qual at this point. And I know it's rough because you don't want to give up your spot, but when nobody can win, I don't like seeing this. And even if...

03:37:15 Both teams leave alive. I would argue you're graceful that nobody really wins. Just because the amount of time that this takes away from your rotation, your chance to really do anything. Plex does go low. Honestly, whip shots from Bavis keep them from being able to secure a kill. Finally, we will get the first knock as Monty does get traded on Plexus. Bavis gets knocked immediately afterwards. Rolling teams could still come out on top, but Ekio does literally fall down, coming right back up.

03:37:44 Ja, das ist ein 2v1. Ja, das ist ein 2v1, aber ich denke, dass sie Zeit haben. Ich denke, dass sie vielleicht ein paar Zeit haben. Ich denke, dass sie ein Kluft haben. Ich denke, dass sie ein Kluft haben, vielleicht? Ich denke, wir sind direkt in eine Volt. Das ist wirklich gut. Und er hat einen Fortschritt. Das ist ein... Was? Aber er hat das? Nein, es war pointless. Ja.

03:38:12 Pointless also. This is literally the opposite of Clash of the Titans. This is the fight of the bottom of the barrel. We have the three bottom teams essentially fighting for nothing. And I don't like to see this. Because sure, getting the 3P points is important. But I think getting... You need to get more stacked than this in my opinion. The 3P from Pointless is fine because they only send two. They're still getting all the objectives. This contest, however, is not it. Because like I said...

03:38:38 Even if the contest goes 50-50 with halfway halfway and half donuts, it's just not in your favor to get anywhere in the even top 10 of the leaderboard. I know they're not playing in this lobby. I know they're not in EMEA anymore, but I'm thinking of 07 as I watch rolling teams and both go down. Team Listen, collecting that last kill. The south side of the map.

03:38:59 Just tough to survive in, in the Barometer Contest, leaving everybody unhappy. Towards the north side of the map, though, Full English have already got a nice spot. DMS are in zone. Eternal are rotating in. We got a lot of people fighting over these nut buildings. Fighting early for nuts is a good thing, but there's already two teams in each, like one team in each nut. This is definitely a lot scarier than, you know, than what most people might see.

03:39:25 But it is the play and DMS is not here to fight. And I think that's good because early on they were having a hard time waking up. But as the game's progress, they are definitely, they're definitely here to, you know, what we expected out of them. I think it's safe to say that looking at both these buildings, we're at capacity. Nobody else should be able to make it into these specific buildings that DMS Eternal currently hold.

03:39:48 Oh ja, definitiv. Coming in from the east side from Hyde is going to happen. It's going to be maybe even, not congested, but there's going to be two, three, or maybe at most four teams fighting for it.

03:40:07 I think that's one of the spots that people come in really late super stacked to fight for. So I wouldn't, like, I could see Cybercats potentially go next playing to fight from that power spot, but we'd have to see. Definitely love this zone though, north of wall. I love this, playing around eggs and the hill. Even though this might look boring for, you know, when you see one team on absolute high playing, due to the zone shifts recently, honestly, sometimes it even favors the team on the bottom. And I feel like...

Teamstrategien und Spielentscheidungen im LCQ

03:40:33

03:40:33 Das ist eine gute Sache, dass es nicht immer Height-Win ist, und manchmal sogar die Teams, die Hüggen die Bottom-Side-Tunnel-Side-Win ist. Und das Variety ist eine gute Sache. Es ist wirklich. Wenn ich diese Zone sehe, ich denke, wie Made in Heaven, die jetzt Faze sind, die jetzt haben, in ein paar Funktionen. Actually, speaking von ihnen, Synetik, die IGL, der, of course, was keeping Made in Heaven neben dem EMEA.

03:40:59 Ich glaube, es wird wieder auf unsere screens sein. Aber es ist wirklich schwierig. Das ist etwas das Man in Heaven und Synetik ist wirklich gut. Es ist interessant zu sehen, dass sie das von einem anderen Angeln sind, jetzt die Phase spielen aus LZQ und können das viel mehr aggressiv werden. Das ist eine mehr aggressiv Phase als wir in den Play-Offs gesehen haben, weil ihr wirklich könnt ihr Team zu der Mechanical-Limit in LZQ und wissen, dass es gut geht.

03:41:25 Ja, sie sind definitiv abmüßt ihre Mechanics, weil sie wissen, dass sie die Top-3-Sprongest-Fighting-team in der Lobby sind. Und das ist gut zu wissen, dass sie das aufhören. Aber die Dinge, die mir am besten ist, ist, dass sie mich immer mit dem Spiel, das ganze Zeit haben. Sie sind nie in der ersten Zeit, aber sie sind nicht Cyber-Kat-Slave. Und sie sind einfach nur für Möglichkeiten. Und ich denke, 90% von allen Möglichkeiten sind gut für sie. Die erste Zeit ist, dass sie das Kampf gegen...

03:41:54 der Arktik in Command Center, aber ich freue mich sehr auf meine Synaptik von den Spiel-Second-Decision-Makingen und den Macro-Play so far. Und wenn wir zwischen Slow, Medium und Fast spielen müssen, Medium ist eine der schwierigsten Worte zu spielen. Weil es so schrecklich ist, man kann so viele Teams getrennt zwischen so vielen Teams, wie Gonextar jetzt, versuchen sie sich in eine Zone zu setzen. Sie haben keine Arbeit zu sein. Kashera ist zu gehen.

03:42:19 Und wenn man sich auf alle anderen Seite befindet, würde ich sagen, Graceful, dass ein still-team ist oft ein dead-team. Ja, definitiv. Still-team in dem, die Reaktivität und die Präinung, dass die Dinge deinem Weg gehen, ist fast immer wieder der Gegenteil. Weil wenn Teams sind die Proaktivität rund um dich, Dinge, die einfach zu gehen werden, werden zu dir passieren. Das ist deshalb wichtig, dass die Dinge in der Lage sind. Aber wenn du im LC-Q-D...

03:42:46 You don't have time to map out the macro. Tyler barely had time to whip out the Mozambiques, and you're right. The pace of play is really fast. Showcased now by ANC. Somehow barely alive with Stelizzi pulling off a shield battery. Looks like ANC may be able to get a few more points in the form of finishes in the next seconds.

03:43:09 Jens kommt in, Jens is low, still cleaning up A and C, outplayed. Double Mozams again, doing people a lot of favors and keeping KYL alive. KYL is one of the teams I think a lot actually had, we had a lot of expectations on them because individually the players are known to be really strong. Together as a team they've been doing some splashes here and there, but right now we haven't really seen them to the potential that we've all been, you know, calling for, I would say.

03:43:39 I'd agree with that. KYL have had some slower games. I'm gonna throw Golem in there as well. At the start of the day, I hyped up Golem a lot, so it's only right that I check back in on them every once in a while, as they have also had slower games. Moving out of the north side of the map this time, maybe Golem will end up taking that Zeus Station side that we were speaking of earlier. Is it certainly available? 3D Max play out of wall. This position...

03:44:07 The scary part about this game, though, is all the teams that are high up on the leaderboard, as we said, you know, you're playing to win this game, but it's getting kind of close at the top of who gets second, regardless of who wins the game right now, you know? Blaze has been leading the charge, but we see Cybercats and even GoNex and other teams up there that whoever wins...

03:44:34 And depending on who has a solid game, could end up taking the second place. And now that we don't have, you know, when you win on game five and you still have one more game to play for second, and now it literally just ends. I think this might put some hesitation in some teams, but also some teams hopefully get that fire under their butt, you know.

03:44:53 Do you remember when we had Luke on during the halftime break, and Luke was talking about how his players are still haunted by a lot of the mistakes that they made at playoffs? That's something that's difficult to shake off. I'm looking at this right now and going, Gonext are in second. They have 62 points. CyberCats are at 59. The fact that Gonext died now, if the games were to end here, could very well be the thing that haunts them.

03:45:18 Definitely indeed. And I think that they are also a team that people have expectations of from almost winning a land, you know, to maybe not falling for champs is definitely a drastic shift. But that also goes to show that the talent pool, like, you know, not talking all about the negative stuff, but that also shows all the talent pool is deep regardless of region. There's so many good teams out there that are capable of dethroning you regardless of how dominant you might have.

03:45:45 Ich denke, das ist ein guter Punkt. Es ist. Ich meine, wir sehen, viele Talenten aus allen Regionen kommen aus dem Challenger-Sircuit. Wir haben gesagt, Apex-South, aber ich bin sehr froh, was Havoc kann machen. Es gibt viele Teams, die Leute nicht mehr haben.

Entscheidende Momente und Team-Konfrontationen im späteren Spielverlauf

03:46:30

03:46:30 What did I say about the Cyberkats League team? They're coming from the E side, like I said. Now they have to end up fighting. I believe you said Golem was on top. And they have to fight them while they should be way more stacked. So how this fight will go down, we'll have to see. But I would have to say, depending on how they take this, Golem should be able to do them off. But we are also talking about Cyberkats. A very scary team today, showing all the promises.

03:46:56 And I can't help but wonder, now that you've chosen to take the Evac Tower, or Jump Tower rather, Cybercats have gone past Golem. But where will they end up playing? Not a lot of spots available. This one, one of the few. Cybercats put themselves in a position directly to gatekeep FaZe. You said that Arctic had a read on FaZe's macro. Surely they can't have predicted this.

03:47:21 No, ich denke, dass sie um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um

03:47:49 Aber wer weiß, das könnte enden für sie funktionieren. Ich meine, du hast es so oft harpen, und es ist wirklich wahr, dass du wirklich nicht wirst, dass du keine Autonomie in deinem Spiel hast. Und bei dem Spiel zu machen, Cybercats, die ein bisschen davon ausgehen.

03:48:05 Golem's already looking down on them, and we get a look at where FaZe are positioned. These two teams, it would be an understatement to say that they've got a grudge. And the fact that they are positioned right next to each other is going to be really interesting over the course of the next few zones. Because right now, FaZe don't have to move. In fact, Golem don't have to move. A lot of these positions are going to stay the same. But team, listen. That's rough.

03:48:29 Team Listen, however, coming in, this could open up for Cybercats to come for the 3P, so this ended up working in their favor, we'll see. Ash Portal, so rough. The fact that he just gets to stare at it for so long, this is an evisceration of Team Listen, it's not even close. Golem, clean house.

03:48:49 Ja, cleaning up house indeed, you saw that Cybercast heard it, came for it, now they're about to get pinched by Face through the tunnel. And this is worst case scenario, like I just talked to you about, Dia. They did look for the opportunity, which is a good thing to be proactive, but now, Zone ending on them as well, they really have to hope that other teams are holding the other teams out, essentially, so that they don't get pinched.

03:49:11 Big shoutout to Micey as well, who has a fantastic catwalk throughout the course of the day. Stops a phase push with this one. And on the other side of the ring, Full English are balancing across a catwalk themselves. CJ with no help watches the catwalk go down. Fortunately, there's no one on the other side of it. Four seconds left on this Phoenix kid. And it looks like...

03:49:32 Yeah, as more teams reach Matchpoint as well, it is fun to see, but being triple blue this late into the game is a little bit scary. I'm definitely intrigued about this because FaZe has their...

03:49:53 und ich glaube, dass jemand von der Heil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil-Hil

03:50:13 While we've got the scores up in this game, real quick shoutout. If you see teams that are placed above 50 points, it is because they have achieved above 50 points this game. They are not Matchpoint eligible. But teams like Fat Kid Community, who sat at 51 points, DMS at 50 points, and now Atlas, who have moved up to 53 points, are making their way up the leaderboards. These are not teams that can close us out on Matchpoint, but they are teams that could place second.

03:50:42 As Ring is slowly closing fights are bound to happen Macro is gonna happen and the harder Macro is so much harder like this when there's less teams alive Because you just get stared down rather than other teams helping and full English getting the rough end of it by DMS cleaning them without even a sweat

03:51:01 Das macht zwei Teams auf Matchpoint, die jetzt Eliminated Cyberkatz und Faze. Die einzige Teams left auf Matchpoint zu gewinnen. Und sie haben jetzt noch ein bisschen mehr Platz zwischen ihnen. Cyberkatz ist noch nicht angelt, mit ein paar Teams auf dem Team. Bangsmoke macht Cyberkatz ein viel favors. Das ist ein verrückter Macro von Cyberkatz. Das ist eine verrückte Macro von Cyberkatz. Die sind jetzt in Goldspot, und sie können jetzt wählen, die zu wählen, ist großartig.

03:51:30 Arktik unfortunately has no heals, so I do wonder how this will work out for them. KYL and FA, or rather Fat Kid Community, do go down. Cybercats still have Arktik walking around with no HP, and he gets Kraybert in the mouth, so this is going to be a little more difficult for Cybercats. Fortunately, a res will go off as sla...

03:51:49 Looks for the finish, but isn't going to find it. No flesh heals. Very punishing for Cybercats in the next few minutes, though. And FaZe Clan, looking down at Forbidden, could push this. They could actually push Forbidden into Cybercats. And that fight kicks off. Micey goes down. Cybercats have just one left. And it's Arctic, who is fresh, rezzed, and will not be able to clutch up. He's got two HP and a dream. And even that dream will be crushed as Cybercats and DMS go down. FaZe are the last team left on Match Point.

03:52:18 This is the scary part of red armor. Cybercats saw that FaZe had triple red and immediately ran away. Forbidden saw that FaZe had triple red and then instead wanted to push the down with the Kraber after. And now FaZe is triple red coming in late into the zone. They get to pick any fight they want to and people are terrified of them. We talked about how GoNext could be haunted. Cybercats move their way up, are tied with GoNext at 62 points. We're finding out the tiebreakers right now.

03:52:47 Aber das ist eine extremelige Tense für beide Teams. Cybercats, GoNext, Atlus, DMS, Effett, Fatkid Community, The FullEnglish, alle prägen, dass jemand einen Weg finden, mit FaZe Clan zu finden. Und ich will sagen, Golem könnte es.

03:53:05 Forbidden enters the chat, taking out Zymetic, now as a duo.

03:53:29 There's no mobility on FaZe Clan. It looks like we could be going to another game. We don't see them finished just yet, but FaZe are bleeding out. Forbidden. Struggling to recuperate. As Abu has gone down, JMW's gonna slide down on this. Try and clean up a few kills. Make sure the points are going in the favor of FaZe. Five squads left. JMW can't finish but one. Jumps down to the low ground.

03:53:53 Gehts out Forbidden, gets revenge for Synetic, and hits the reload while we wait. Eternal, one member left, Enhanced Aim, and Golem still up. If Jay doesn't go down here, he's actually on Crypto. That means he could drone them right now and still somehow maybe make it. That would be a crazy game to see, but I don't really know. He's getting shot from other people, but nobody wants to give up their positioning because we actually have two rats and two full teams.

03:54:21 Bambino, one of those rats, starts to make their way up towards Enhance Dame and Golem. This fight has actually kicked off Golem for some reason, had a member yeeted out of the ring. Very surprised to see them somehow still alive. JMW actually creeping up on this right now, could finish off that one member of Golem. And unfortunately, the knockdown shield is just going to turn into maybe a Moby for JMW. If it does...

03:54:47 Oh, es ist ein volles Team zurück! Oh mein Gott! In 20 Sekunden auf dem Banner! 10 Sekunden auf dem Banner! Ich denke JMW wird es! Oh mein Gott, ich glaube, ich werde es gewinnen! Oh mein Gott!

03:55:04 We still need the Moby to happen. Not a good place to put it right now. This is the last zone. I'm a little bit confused. Should he put it that far down low or further up? I don't know. I'm 50-50 on this. It is going to be extremely tight. Moby lands. JMW, remember, can set this off instantly. Golem are playing passive. Eternal are still up here. Enhanced aimer waiting as well. This respawn is going off. No one is looking at FaZe. Eternal are down.

03:55:31 It comes down to a 3v3v1, I believe. No, it's a 3v3, and they get to 3p. I think FaZe can close this out. They should be able to. Everyone's respawned with red armors. Yes, they're on low ground, but Golem and Enhanced Aim have to fight. FaZe Clink could even move up the high ground. They're playing behind this rock right now, but you just wait for Enhanced Aim to drop. Instead, FaZe, do rock up. Taking priority on these rocks. It's impossible for Enhanced Aim to take them out.

03:56:02 Das war's für heute.

03:56:25 Faze definitiv got cut down short, I believe Nags it was, they went a little bit early. If they triple swung that clipside where we saw Jake and I believe it was in Attic duo swinging, I think Faze would have taken it home. A little bit of premature right there, opener for Faze I believe and they got punished and I think that seeing this gameplay from them is actually crazy good that Falcons and the boys can close it out. Mexico has always had the potential.

03:56:54 I actually almost can't breathe. That was so incredibly close for FaZe. Like you talked about, it's just that one mistake. But the fact that they were even able to recover from the much bigger mistake they made earlier is wild. Crazy indeed. The moment I saw Crypto and he didn't get finished off because there was another Rath on the opposite side, Bambino, I believe.

03:57:17 open up for potentials. That could have been a huge game. If they had any boxes, because I only saw naked weapons when they came down, I think the tournament could have ended here. But it didn't, so for me, yay, more Apex. Shout out to Slab, by the way, from Forbidden, who was busy crushing Dreams that whole game. He picked up a Kraber.

03:57:39 He started the whole sequence of events that took out Cybercats by sniping Arctic in the mouth and then did exactly the same to FaZe Clan on Synetic moments later. This still turns into a good game for FaZe. We got 14 points and Cybercats are still tied with Go Next after putting up a really low point game themselves, but it's enough to mash them up. Enhanced Aim, climb up the leaderboards. Golem also with a pretty big game, even though they didn't win.

03:58:08 Ja, ich glaube, das Leaderboard war ziemlich stabil. Es gab keine Nucleer-Games von allen Teams. Aber ich glaube, dass wir andere Teams sehen, wie auch Golem und Enhanced Aim. Es ist schön, außerhalb der typischen Heavy-Hitern, die wir alle lieben, von PL und Tier 1-C. Seeing Tier 2-Step-Buff ist eine gute Sache. Ich hoffe, dass andere Teams können das auch machen.

03:58:34 At this point, with the top three as they are, this game has pushed a lot of teams into matchpoint territory. Eight teams, Graceful. Do you think we have two more games in us? Surely we finish it now.

03:58:50 So the thing is, is that I said this on Latteswell, that this is the last game and it ended up being four more I think. So who knows now that I would like to, probability wise, it should end on this match. If it does end, I don't know. I think somebody wants us to have more Apex games.

03:59:07 Somebody certainly does. In fact, it's Atlas. I'm getting word from our producers that Atlas are very, very pleased with Enhanced Aim and are giving a lot of love to AJ and the lobby chat because they've now got a chance to close it out. No matter what happens in these next couple of games.

03:59:26 This very well could have been the end for FaZe, and Enhanced Aim shut that down. The battle for who goes to Japan is still so tight, and we'll get to see where it goes after the break.

03:59:58 Ja, Serenity ist so aggressiv, sie wissen, dass Aurora ist weak und sie werden in, sie werden schreden. Es ist ein 1 für 1 trade, jetzt. Serenity hat die Initial Damage gemacht. Es gibt noch eine Chance. Und Aurora ist so close. Legacy mit einem Slitherer von HP. Es ist einfach, und Serenity wird das Job gemacht. Keine anderen Team sind in der Nähe. Es ist so close für Aurora.

04:00:27 Ich glaube, wir haben einen guten Platz in der nächsten Zone. Die Legends sind glücklich mit dem KP sie bekommen und haben noch zu spielen aus dem Lowground, oder ich würde sagen, zu spielen, als SSG geht zu E8.

04:01:30 to see what happens, because these last couple of games have gone, surely somebody closed out, surely somebody closed out. Now we've got eight teams on Matchpoint, and you know what I'm saying? We probably go one more game. That's the attitude we've got to take. I do want to take a look back at last game, though, because it was incredibly close. From FaZe's perspective, what was this game like, knowing that you got the respawn, and then being so close to closing it out?

04:01:56 I mean, it was already major miracles in the making when we come out of the fact that you get the Moby off of that wipe and get this squad back into play. But the thing I'm most curious to look at is the fact that was the separation of Nags there what sealed in their fate? Because yes, a full swing, especially off drop there, you're literally catching them one by one like flies on the way down there. I'm surprised there was no other way to take advantage of them.

04:02:24 Seeing how this worked out, from JMW's perspective, hitting the res was incredibly close to Graceville, and I was wondering, should this have been a little bit higher up? Would that have put them in a better position? But FaZe have so much time to close this gap, and even with the single Mozambiques, in some case, that they spawned in with.

04:02:47 Still make an incredibly good argument for the end of the game. Eva actually looking pretty good here. I know it's a pretty overlooked shotgun in this meta, but actually put in some serious work in the endgame for FaZe. JMW doing that for him. Like we said in the middle of the match here, really nice, really controlled from Graceful's perspective as well there. Forcing out what was this wipe early to make sure that the drop later on can't impact you to settle it into a direct...

04:03:15 3v3. But it looks like just a second ahead there. Nagz, maybe a bit too far forward trying to sustain that kill, doesn't look for the reset. And the rest of the squad just aren't sustained in the position to capitalize as a result. I saw two missed pumps on that EVA. And if those go through, I mean, we need to tell a very different story right now. But it is Enhanced Aim that clutched things up. And as we said, love to AJ for doing it.

04:03:44 Das war unser Seventh Match. Und wir werden jetzt noch weiter auf Stormpoint als результат. Denn wir sind alternativ. 2-2-2-2-2. Jetzt haben wir das Seventh Match-Win unter der Welt. Wir werden die Chance zurück zu Stormpoint. Und wir werden das wieder einmal wieder zurück. Wir haben schon ein paar Spiele gesehen. Wir haben eine Wall-Zone gesehen. Wir haben eine Zone ein bisschen weiter nach dem Wall. Vielleicht können wir das Ganze ändern.

04:04:11 It's a little terrifying because that's how good these teams perform on a zone that is as far away as what we saw ahead there.

04:04:19 The Full English, though, now joined as well along these three with Forbidden, Fat Kid Community, Atlas, and DMS here. And this is creating a little bit more of a balanced look at our map here now when we talk about the potential for win. Forbidden, Central, Positions ahead, DMS alongside them here. Fat Kid just trying to eep it out over on the side as well with a wall very similar in the Upper North with Full English. It could be potentially anyone's dominant hold here when we...

04:04:48 talk about where we're starting regarding this match eight here now graceful's talked about the dynamic of a match point series a couple of times and i want to raise that again because we are going into the like later match point area where winning is your only chance to make top two

04:05:10 If you are a lower place team when we were in like match four or five and a few sure on match point, you could actually make it up and probably make second place with a couple of good games at this point. If you are outside of the top eight teams that are on match point, you've got to get on to match point and win in order to clutch your spot because second place is getting oh so far away.

04:05:35 Das war nichts. Das war nichts.

04:06:04 Und ich würde sagen, das ist, dass FaZe gewinnen. Wenn FaZe nicht gewinnen und jemanden auf Matchpoint gewinnen, dann wird sie nicht getroffen, weil sie 88 haben.

04:06:26 It is a pretty far distance for anyone to actually make up an enhanced aim. They might be able to do it. They had a pretty good game last time. Maybe, maybe just maybe. They make their way up from the 40 points they currently set at. And a little bit further to grab a match point and move into the top couple of squads. Team, listen, landing with the sentinel right on top of rolling teams.

04:06:51 Both squads definitely needing the points, but rolling teams going, what is this? We certainly did not want to take this fight, especially if they are not forced to. Rolling teams playing on this low ground do have the conduit.

04:07:07 Ich glaube, es geht darum, was es geht um, was es geht um, was es geht um, was es geht um

04:07:36 I sit in a very similar stance when it comes to Graceful about why do these teams do this? Either way, on the other end here, it is a long journey ahead for Plum if he wants to even begin to see a potential recovery this time around. I mean, it would even be really helpful.

04:07:56 für Team Listen, if the zone was going north, but it ain't. We're going over to Devastated Coast. Go next, by the way, who have two POIs when they land. Launchpad and Devastated Coast, both uncontested.

04:08:09 Das ist nicht ein schlechtes Take. Ich will sagen, die Transitioner points, die das impact...

04:08:36 What you can hold over towards height aren't the best to hold sometimes when we talk about the fact that they do tend to drop off, right? It's not something that lasts all the way to the late game. You usually have teams falling from above when we talk about direct devastated coast endings here. Either way, they'll set themselves up. They had that skin earlier from the coast there. Instead, on the other side of things, it will be the Cybercats who opt to play our Crane Held here.

04:09:05 Good spot for Cybercats to play, and like you said, a high ground that will likely expire later in the game. The Cybercats do love playing for kills, so we'll see what they can do with that. Got a lot of range as well, with Ranches rocking Hemlock and Nemesis, both with an insane amount of ammunition. Not a lot of sustain, because they're not running things like Watson, so Cybercats do have to be careful about how much damage they take. But Plum, it's just chilling. They're playing very different games. Cybercats and...

04:09:34 Flam's living in the moment. Flam's living his best life as...

04:09:42 The kids, I am kids, would say today. Out and away, they will look for recovery. Rolling teams, surprising as it is, they are just getting off their feet to this zone. And it goes back to reiterate the point of how these contests can slow down the game, right? I mean, for them, they don't even know the fact that you've already got, well, yes, CyberCat's a close team, but even DMS and so many other rosters making for massive moves here as well, alongside, hey, look, DMA.

04:10:11 Something like this is where you'd really find some value out of having a sniper. Full English, not rocking one. At least on Sir Dell do have a position. They can play right next to DMS. Both of these teams positioning themselves in such a way as to suggest that they will eventually fight. I'd expect that DMS are aiming to rotate east a little bit later on into this ring as things continue to pull in this direction.

04:10:39 Und mit wie tief die vollen Englisch geht, sie sind wahrscheinlich auch die gleiche. Both diese squads haben wir gegen Go-Nex. Und du kannst du sehen, dass die Domino's starten zu sein. Wenn die Domino's nicht mehr sehen werden, ist es noch nicht zu sehen, aber... Ich weiß nicht, ob die Domino's... Ich weiß nicht, ob die Domino's die Domino's... Okay. Die Domino's sind die Domino's, okay? Die Domino's sind die Domino's, okay? Die Domino's sind die Domino's, okay? Die Domino's sind die Domino's.

04:11:01 Yeah, these dominoes almost put Faze in a winning position, alright? That's all you need to know for DMS. I do worry, though. I mean, this exterior position from the side...

04:11:12 The Prowler's Nest is not something that is arguably the safest and they do their best of course putting at least some work in with the Watts in there to give them a little bit of breathing room but given the fact that you have such a transitional point coming off the launch pad area it makes it kind of you know a little scary I mean so many squads will at some point potentially contest you for that spot that you have to be prepared for

04:11:36 Quick shoutout to Plum, the last remaining member of Team Listen, who's desperately trying to get a res. I saw that in the kill feed, getting a knock with the ult onto Team Pointless in Barometer. Making a solo vantage seem all the more threatening. Handstame, not super threatening right now. Do have the Watson Shen down, but not a whole lot of space to play. And even now, as Falcons heals up, you can tell just from the way he's looking around that this...

04:12:05 The little box that they're playing, not particularly safe. Not for long. No, not for long would be right. Potentially not for much more here. We'll see if anyone really wants to capitalize it. I will say teams are being a little bit more respectful of playing for position, especially when your next door neighbors are on match point. So, you know, you've got some leniency here. For Atlas, it's a position held on Grav Cannon that does allow for, I like the potential of what...

04:12:33 Ja.

04:12:59 Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, as it appears to continue. Some would say. Team Listener's still looking for that Rez. I can actually hear them behind the map, just making their way back into Coastal Camp. It's pointless, move towards Pylon. This Pylon area, pretty interesting when you consider its macro capabilities. When we go Echo HQ...

04:13:20 The fight for Pylon is always a fascinating one. Now that we're going over towards Dev Coach, the choke point leading from Pylon to Launchpad is still a place where we can expect a lot of action. Building held there ahead. If you can make the cross, sometimes it's something to potentially be shared, but with so many teams still coming through this Pylon side, Empire Gaming's lack of action is something that will come to, well, put them potentially to rest here. EMP on EMP Violence. The answering.

Spannungsgeladene Kämpfe und strategische Zonenentscheidungen prägen das ALGS EMEA LCQ Finale

04:14:00

04:14:00 ...we'll end up taking this fight, likely again. I'm looking for ult excels. I'm looking for any chance you've got of speeding this up. Because this Fat Cake community, you don't want to take too long to make this fight happen. Team Listen, unfortunately, do go down. That's without a res. Plom was the last member to fall. Well, it took a while.

04:14:20 Taxington eventually did pick up the kill. Aetherno looking at this engagement now that was happening between Empire and Fat Kid Community. So we've got a three-way squad fight going up in this corner of the map. This choke point between Pylon and Launchpad, very heavily looked at. Yep.

04:14:39 You do have the anchoring position held there, at least on the interior by Shek, so it's not the worst of situations because inevitably they will pull away from this one and Empire does get recovery even though they face the additional or at least initial knock in what was the choke play, but this is still a lot of answers left undecided for teams as they are searching for space out towards the west of Pylon. You actually do have a considerable amount of play. It's outside here towards the Pylon direct when we talk about...

04:15:09 Diese Teams haben sich für große Entscheidungen zu machen. Sie können die Pylons in sein werden, aber mit so vielen anderen Quatschern, es ist vielleicht auch ein Kampf. Sillie mit 36 Punkte jetzt. Far weit weg von Matchpoint. Unlike Aethernal, die wir in der Engagement hatten, sind 48 Punkte. Können Sie ein paar mehr. Slab, wieder zu starten, sehr gut.

04:15:37 Das hat eine sehr große Bühne heute mit Slab, der Kicking-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things-Things

04:16:03 Well, you're alive. That's all you can potentially work with there for rolling teams. They're happy to potentially play this a little bit more stable in terms of how they defend against these potentially rotating squads ahead here. Malty already on the pole back with potentially Ekio a little bit more further forward. This is what is that response now. Can't actually send Malty back just yet. Both now forced to expend the metkits to keep themselves at least on coverage.

04:16:32 No ult for Ekio, es ist auch ein guter Geist. Der Drone ist mit der Havoc. Es hat sich gut für Rolling Teams, aber es ist nur zwei. Ekio und Monty sind in der Riga. Bizarre ist bereits in der Riga. Pointless sind so low. Surely, wenn Sie einfach nur diese Riga gehen. Zarifer kommt, die Syringe auf die Riga, kommt, und wird auf die Riga. Rolling Teams sind in der Riga. Und jetzt sind sie in der Riga.

04:16:58 What's terrifying about this idea is that so many of the teams that fall here are the ones that aren't even on match point. Four squads eliminated on the board, none of them in a potential place of eligibility. When we talk about the option or the potential for this game to end, it has absolutely skyrocketed now with half...

04:17:18 Ich möchte, mit diesem Zonen, ein Shoutout-to-Go-next. Early Callouts, understanding was Bait das Height provides, and setting themselves up for a very, very early read of this endzone. You gotta hand it to Kashera.

04:17:34 Ja, das ist die Kachero-Special, ist endlich, dass die Zonen, jetzt die Gonext sind, als sie haben für eine lange Zeit, das Prediktion bedeutet so viel mehr, denn die Zonen sind nicht mehr als wertvolle als die Wynn. Wir haben ein Kampf gegen Forbidden- und Rolling-Teams, die einfach in die Zonen gemacht haben.

04:17:53 A reminder that Rolling Teams are not on Matchpoint, and Forbidden are. So as Rolling Teams lose one, as they are on the verge of elimination, things could become even more certain, Zephyr. You already said, this is looking like it could end, like it should end with the amount of teams that are alive on Matchpoint. Forbidden look to make that one more in the favor of this being the last match.

04:18:15 Set up defensively. It's not an option ahead, though, for where they'll be playing this zone out. They've got at least some looking angles. Zero, nothing. Settled out with this Crypto and now taking a look more directly. Actually, a high preference to cover that should play in nicely towards this next zone. Even though, on the other side of things, ANC outplayed another one of our squads who are not...

04:18:37 in a position for victory eliminated coming out of this game and there we go forbidden finally finally taking advantage of this they've done really well to use this zone and clear out the squads as well forbidden are not pushing this they're not risking anything really they are slowly but surely cleaning up a team that has just bled out over the last couple minutes rolling teams

04:19:01 Unable to make their way further into the zone. And Forbidden get to sit on high ground and watch it all happen. Fat Kid Community eating the zone right now. Don't have a lot of space to make their way in. I don't really know. It's gonna slide on in. It's a Pathfinder schmooem and almost find a knock. It looked good, but not good enough. Flinzon does end up taking the knock. Fat Kid Community down to just one. And Tyre is gonna fall. Fat Kid Community go down. Those were some nice moves from Flinzon.

04:19:30 Ja, es hat es absoluten, dass das eine einstehende. Und auch haben Aimbot mehr als Healthy genug zu responden. So vielleicht nicht als dire straits als wir dachten für das Rostere für Fat Kid. Sie sind die erste Matchpoint-Eliminated Team hier in unserer Serie. Aber ich kann nicht vorstellen, dass es viel besser für jemanden, der noch in den Nord ist. Wir haben gesagt, dass die Potenzial Plätze auf das Hillside für Transition ist. Und es geht nicht wirklich darum. Jeder muss mehr direkt über das Kater past das. Und in der process...

04:19:59 Likely fight each other. Take DMS as an example. They've given up the position they held earlier. It's likely already been taken away from them. Faze have gone down. This is big. Faze falling does mean that should the games end now, Faze, who are on 90 points, are assuredly going to Japan. At this point, it's nearly impossible. It would take some...

04:20:23 Wahnsinn, Wahnsinn, Wahnsinn!

04:20:30 Well, at least on the board for now. Cybercats go next. Yeah, it looks like it would be an absolutely monumental 20-plus point kill game, which I just don't think is, well, well, yes, statistically possible one in the cards for so many of our players here. The Fault English, one of those teams that now needs to pull off a win, and nothing but just that here. Set ahead for a low ground position. It's one of the better spots, but they can't let teams...

04:20:58 Get some nice evacs ahead of them. I like the Rolling Thunder, though. Set up for a nice position to capitalize off this late rotate.

04:21:07 Sending it on towards KYL, who just evac'd in. We've got a knock in the favor of Fullenglish. It turns into another one. Fullenglish, despite how bamboozled they are in this last fight, should be able to pull things off in a 2v1. But no, we've got a third party coming in. Sordell is now trying to stabilize between two squads. And the Fullenglish fend off KYL, but inherit a fight against a Thirtle.

04:21:34 One of our Matchpoint teams, who unfortunately is not actually eligible to win in this game. They've got 52 points, but they hit that during the course of this game. So Eternal need this to go one more game.

04:21:49 Notably on the side here, off of that rotation from the north, DMS make the massive sweep away from Launchpatch to play above here. Now the Cybercats, they pick up one on the initial drop and now are falling through on what is absurd damage off of the Devotion. Put it in the hands of Ardek and he will deliver. Doublecracks minus go. At least the Pylon for now, it is a pickup in return, but I can't imagine they're much more healthy. Ranches, pull it off!

04:22:17 Das ist nur ein Knochen, so 1v1 in der Ende. Das sieht aus wie...

04:22:23 Somehow Cybercats are going to be able to recover, but Prestes comes back up onto the high ground. That knock, maybe not enough. No, DMS do go down. Prestes gets taken out and Cybercats continue their reset on high ground as we've got another team moving in. It's Golem wanting to finish off the Cybercats and they may do it. Arctic goes down. Cybercats have one member left and Cybercats are down. They're sitting in second place right now, but it's not going to be enough if this... No.

04:22:52 Wait, Zephyr, das ist es? Wir gehen in den Spiel!

04:23:00 Es ist nicht nur Cybercats, die sich auf die Höhe befinden. Geh-next, Struggle zu halten, auf den Weg zu der Seite. Das ist das, was dominiert hier. Und jetzt, für Golem und Eternal, das ist Big Returns. Sie sind aus der Matchpoint hier. Empire braucht zwei Punkte zu Cementen sich, und sogar 3DMX, die 8 Punkte apart von dieser, sind in eine großartige Position zu halten.

04:23:29 Well, das ist all right. Golem war on Matchpoint anyway. Okay, okay. So next game, they've got a chance. Eternal, much the same if they go down here. Well, they're on Matchpoint anyway. The way that they're playing, though, Eternal will want to win this game. Eternal do not want to give up any bit of an advantage to the other teams, like 3D Max.

04:23:51 Sie sitzen unter der MASHPOINT. Vushi, YeeQ, 3D Maxx, die ETHERNAL are in den letzten zwei squads. Es ist sie und EMPIRE, die müssen auf alle Teams auf MASHPOINT machen. So jetzt sind wir nur noch ein bisschen mehr Kuscheln. EMPIRE wird ein paar Knocks bekommen. Scherbert wird mit der Double. Mozan hat es literally nur aufhört. Aber es scheint zu gehen EMPIRE´s Weg, als das wird genug sein.

04:24:16 Ja, an diesem Punkt hier...

04:24:40 No, I'm not going to say that. I was about to say, at this point, it's almost guaranteed that we see the end coming off of our next game. Remember at the start I said, we're going to go one more game? It looks like, I mean, I was hoping that would be sort of like a reverse psychology thing, but it really didn't work at all. Yeah, it didn't work at all. Unfortunate.

04:25:02 I choose my words carefully. There's nothing to say. At this point, all we can do is let the Apex play out as fate has dictated here. Even still, though, you make great points.

04:25:13 Setting aside our biases towards whether it continues or ends, three additional potential teams now in favor to highlight an ending for this game means that anything can happen. What's worse, even that, on top of that, is the fact that those who have strengths here on Stormpoint no longer can capitalize on them.

04:25:33 Das stimmt, wir sind wieder auf World's Edge zurück, und ich denke, für die Teams, die gewinnen und gewinnen haben, wie CyberCats, wie Atlas, Phase natürlich, und unsere Fat Kid Community, was das bedeutet für sie?

04:25:48 as they have been the teams to win on World's Edge. Empire, of course, do win this game. 19 points is enough to push them into Matchpoint territory, as they are now one of 11 teams on Matchpoint. Eternal join in, and 3D Max, who managed to pick up third, do barely miss out on that. They're at 46 points overall. The teams that could keep us going, 3D Max, Enhanced Ains, Silly, KYL, Rolling Teams, Team Listen, ah!

04:26:17 Pointless, and ANC outplayed. If any of those teams win next game, it means we're going another.

04:26:24 3D Max, they're just barely cut off at the end, unable to sustain a bit longer in terms of this fight, but like you said, nine squads. That's the number statistically now in favor of our match point entities. Even still, as we take a look at the point spread, Cybercats do break the tie, finally. They push themselves up to 69 outside of Go Next after what was the 62 point spread, but I mean, we got to see something terrifying in that game, and it was FaZe going out early, which is...

04:26:52 Honestly, more realistic than we're giving credit towards. The competition for 2nd is not, I mean, guaranteed for them at this point, given the massive point disparity. So it's pretty much win or bust for the rest of these rosters, if it ain't FaZe. Yeah, for the rest of the lobby, I mean, you are trying to close that gap in many ways, but really winning is what you've got to do if your name is not FaZe.

04:27:17 You have to win if you want to see us in Sapporo. And there are just a few opportunities left to do it. We're closing in on a mathematical impossibility that the games don't end. And so when we come back from the break, we'll see if it's that one. Maybe we go another.

04:28:56 der Apex Legends Global Series.

04:29:15 Ich bin LCQ hier für EMEA. Will it happen? Will we continue on in this series?

FaZe Clan dominiert, während andere Teams um die Qualifikation für die ALGS-Championship kämpfen.

04:29:43

04:29:43 Das war's, das war's.

04:30:09 Wildly impressive on behalf of the rest of the teams in the lobby just shows Just how much everybody wants the series to keep going because you know, we heard them talking about it in the last match It's gotten to the point where points wise It truly is win or bust for every single team that's on Matchpoint except FaZe Clan FaZe Clan have done such a good job of coming out swinging early on Getting lots of aggression and points on the board so that regardless of whether or not

04:30:37 They were able to then close it out once they became Matchpoint eligible. They are pretty much guaranteed in that second place position. Those two wins that you see right here being a massive contributing factor to that. So even though there's 11 teams on Matchpoint, it's really only one that's going to end up making their way through because it basically has kind of clinched it.

04:31:00 Ich will sagen, dass Cybercats in 2nd place mit 78 Punkten brauchen 13 Kp zu setzen, und das ist nicht so gut, dass es nicht so gut ist, aber wir sind einfach in der Phase-Clan hier, selbstverständlich, dass sie immer wenn sie nicht wissen, ob sie gewinnen können oder nicht gewinnen können, sie sind sehr gut an sichern, dass sie ein paar Punkte zu gewinnen haben.

04:31:27 Leid schugging, but Glitter, here we go. We introduce World's Edge. It's been a statistical ending point for most of our Matchpoint Series this year. That's all I'll say.

04:31:40 We'll have to see what the Zone feels like doing and who that could potentially benefit, where it's going to be shifting. I think everyone is going to be looking at those squads at the top. I mean, you said you saw just how close CyberCats got in the last match. BaseClan has not slowed down in any way, shape, or form. And on an individual level, two of the top players all day on both of those squads in Synetic and Arctic. I mean, we've seen...

04:32:08 Phänomenal damage coming out of these two, kills coming out of these two. These teams are scary. Now, if they get that type of steamroll happening, plus a zone that they can work with, it's going to be difficult for the rest of these teams.

04:32:23 Well, right off the bat, I will say World's Edge is the slower of the two maps in terms of our early game. We have not had half of the pressure that we've seen on Storm Point regarding how these teams work out against each other here. So, I mean, a bit of a tougher lobby, I would say, in that regard. Typically, the survivability of a lot of these squads definitely more available than what we see out of Storm Point. For Go Next, they had potential success in that last game that I...

04:32:51 I want nothing more right now than to go to any one of their VODs and check out what happened because they had the dominant position, the potential winning spot of that last game. Absolutely. I mean, they were cozy for so long down there at their drop. So I was in my head writing it off. I thought it was going to be signed, sealed, delivered, you know, but did not.

04:33:15 Ends up going that way. I thought you'd appreciate that. And now we get a chance to look at where this ring's going to be pulling. FaZe, going to be very happy. Eternal, going to be very happy. DMS, in there. Gotta be happy. This is going to be an absolute slugfest.

04:33:32 Und es ist ein Team I'll win. Setup in Mirage, Atois, mit dem Potenzial Success hier, ich will sagen, immer eine Möglichkeit. Aber granted, jetzt mit dem Potenzial Switch, mit dem Deep Side zu Fissure, mit dem Team Setting Up, mit dem Western Side, oder was könnte Blue Boxes oder Low Ground Mirage Finish, es ist sehr schwer.

04:33:53 Wenn wir Fissure-Side haben, dann haben wir viele Fissure-Side. Wir haben viele Fissure-Side-Side-Side-Side-Side-Side-Side-Side-Side-Side-Side-Side.

04:34:17 You know, early on, too, our more confident teams are going to be decidedly holding down wherever they can claim as far as real estate goes. DMS setting up, Eternal setting up. It's going to be rough for Awe over there in Mirage, trying to fight off a lot of those teams that will absolutely be pushing in and trying to kick Awe off of their positioning right now, but getting to see where Cybercats are, having moved over from...

04:34:46 Harvester ist bereits mit ihrem Weg durch. Cybercats, ich werde mich interessieren, wie sie das machen können. Sie haben ein paar Teams, die sie sicherlich können durch, auf diese Rotation haben, und sie sind sehr erfolgreich mit viel der Aggression hier heute. Aber das könnte es sein, und wird das ihre Entscheidung verändern?

04:35:07 Enhanced aim, silly. Checking out some of the teams here that have the potential to keep this one going. Later rotations towards the countdown area are still decent in terms of our round two and can provide for rotation, albeit it is non-matchpoint eligible squads that are mirroring each other. Could spell out the end of at least some of that potential. I think this is where...

04:35:37 Wir werden sehen die Dichotomie zwischen den Teams, die wissen, dass es genau in der Grasse ist und werden zu versuchen, zu spielen ein bisschen saferer, um die Möglichkeit zu gewinnen, gegen die Gruppen, die wissen, dass sie eine große Spielzeit machen müssen und versuchen, diese Matchboy-Teams zu retten, während sie auch die Punkte auf der Bord für sich selbst zu bekommen. Ich meine, es gibt keine Zeit für sich zurück.

04:36:03 Und ich hoffe, dass du vielleicht eine Passive-Win wirst. Mit dem Lobby auf der Matchpoint. Du musst wirklich das Spiel nehmen und machen etwas passieren.

04:36:12 The Fat Kid community, one of the furthest teams from this zone as of yet here, had an incredible win in Game 6, which within its heal-off was one that was meticulous in its decision-making. Granted, with this much of a space to cover, it is going to be incredibly hard for themselves to find a home here in our final endzone, and heck, I'd even say for FaZe, it's not much better.

04:36:40 Fae's definitely gonna be finding themselves running up on quite a few teams as they're making their rotation out of Skyhook, trying to pick a path that they were hoping might work for them the best, knowing just how many teams could potentially be moving through Countdown. So this is a little bit tough for them. I think they're gonna just have to be very aware.

04:37:06 von ihren Schrauben, als sie versuchen zu bleiben, auf der nächsten Ring zu bleiben.

04:37:22 I think the nice thing with FaZe, just to point out, is the fact that they actually don't have to make extreme moves, given that they're so secure in their point standing. They can play edge. They can pick up the six or eight that keeps them necessarily secured in second and never even have to worry today. Because they pretty much have delivered when we talk about the job here. Granted, a win is good, but honestly, in their position...

Strategische Spielzüge und unerwartete Wendungen im Kampf um die ALGS-Qualifikation

04:37:45

04:37:45 If they play it more on a confidence strategy, wouldn't you do the same? I mean, you pretty much know you're already going to Japan for Empire. They don't know, but they'll find knock number one to secure what potentially might be that ticket. Fricks back up to height with the grapple. Love the tech to secure one additional knock there for Empire Gaming. A single more will seal, potentially. Well, Stalzy. Done. Dusted. ANC outplayed. Our first squad eliminated here.

04:38:15 Nice fight on behalf of Empire Gaming there too. Also clearing out staging and giving themselves a little bit of breathing room. There will be a few more teams coming through on that southern side with their rotations. But Empire at least nailing down that space here for now. So we can take a look at the minimap and see exactly where the rest of our teams are. Empire surviving that fight potentially now about to be pushed in by...

04:38:37 Also haben wir auch ein paar Schuads hinter dem, und all diese Teams werden zu vermeiden diese 3rd party Situationen, wenn sie können. Sie sehen Cybercats auf der southern Seite der Ring, und ich fühle mich, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist, das ist,

04:39:01 Yeah, usually with what is a fissure ending, you have that pull over towards the western side, which can at least expend what is a large chunk of that POI for survivability, and then, you know, what we recognize as the western pull. This time around, bridge in between everything, that's gonna make for an exciting period of rotations, but something that I can't imagine any of these pros are looking forward to. For Atlas, they've secured themselves a revive, and they keep their dreams just one step closer.

04:39:30 Das war's.

04:39:33 Ich dachte, wir müssen Atlus beantworten, aber Rollen-Teams, Golem, alle waren involviert, und Empire war zu sehen, dass das passieren kann. Wir haben alle zurückgekehrt. Jetzt sehen wir, was FullEnglish hat für sich hier auch. Das ist so... Es gibt viele Trepidation auf dem Team. Die Leute nehmen sie, sie sind zurückgekehrt, sie sind nicht zu empfehlen. Sie sehen, wie Clustert Lava Fissure ist jetzt. Alle versuchen, sie zu halten.

04:40:01 I'm really curious to see who conquers the south side of Fissure here as we make our way towards the end for Rolling Teams. They're back in it. We just saw them at least successful in what was their pressure over towards Fat Keep Community on the west side of the map. Now starting to actually get into a position with this zone. Happy to play towards the edge, but albeit, I mean, literally everyone they run up against is trying to win this game here.

04:40:26 This is a tough situation here. Golem, Rolling Teams, and Atlas all in this little pinch area. Everybody kind of trading some damage back and forth, but not really committing to the fight. As you can see, Atlas have managed to escape through that southern choke and will do a wider wrap here. Golem also having backed off in Rolling Teams, staying safe on the eastern side. They will potentially run into a solo in KYL, but Atlas...

04:40:50 Ich weiß nicht, dass sie einen Tag sehen können. Die Forbidden ist auf der northernen Seite, die sie jetzt schauen. So eine mögliche Engagement für Atlas. Ich weiß nicht, ob sie das Bow checken werden können.

04:41:15 Du kannst mit dem, was du kannst. Das Pressure allein hat sich geholfen. Die Southside ist mehr als gesund für sie zu starten. Sie sehen, was ist hinter dem, und jetzt können sie jetzt auf die Fokussung auf, wo sie zu spielen müssen, auf die nächste Zone zu spielen.

04:41:33 Oh. Oh. Oh.

04:42:00 Just a disgusting additional chunk of information there with that map. We are more directly in Fissure, and that is a sigh of relief for so many teams that might have thought they were having to escape from this POI in their final moments, but it is the split towards this house line on the western end here. It's almost guaranteed that you see some difficulties still.

04:42:22 und weg von der Lava-Side-Side. Die Team ist Ethernal. Sie hat Matchpoint aus den letzten Spielen, und jetzt haben sie sich in einer der größten Spiele zu spielen.

04:42:40 We can see on the map, Team Listen potentially wrapping around toward that northern side, which is where FaZe will be lying in wait to see if they can maybe clean up that KP. FaZe's drone was out trying to get some information for them as well as we get to see what's going on with Golem, who has continued their rotation through, now finding themselves pushing through Mirage underneath Forbidden and Ah. It's...

04:43:04 Not the strongest, but I mean, you gotta give credit where it's due in terms of any of these teams just searching for survivability right now. There is always the potential for them to climb up underneath that Lava Fissure side and even at the worst case, try to play down within the lava. Late game extensions, playing around the EMP, they're all possibilities that make it a little bit more possible than just saying, oh, they're on the low ground well.

04:43:28 Ich denke, das ist es für sie, für die Cybercats zu gehen, für die Zip, über alle in der Lobby. Das kommt bei der Kosten von Ardek, das wir beide wissen, ist eine HUGE ISSUE.

04:43:58 This rotation right as the circle starting to close in so far managing to escape not taking any damage here or being punished yet will they be able to find a safe place to land though is the question Like I said lava potential always available I know this cart wasn't held last time we checked it out and it is a position but one that comes at the cost of well

04:44:18 Basically, everybody sightlines on top of you here, Frick's down, Sherv looking just as worse for wear, trying to sustain with the batteries out here for what could be some recovery. Both a bit healthy, now potentially now to get that knock up, but EMPs, that's maybe the defensive tool they needed. Somehow alive, just barely so, as we see these cells coming through.

04:44:46 Aber sie werden gezwungen, dass es eine Möglichkeit gibt, um ein bereits in die Injured Squad zu cleanen. Empire Gaming wird durch die Hand von Gollum gezwungen. Die DMS wird die Aggressiv-Squad verletzt, um sie zu machen.

04:45:05 They know they need to play this carefully, though. Remember, everything hinges on the win for these matchpoint squads, knowing that this is a dominant area to compete for. They pull out and away here. Now the full English defending a position they've held onto almost the entirety of this game forces them back for recovery on to height. After Cybercats do go out, you can see here in the standings, Gonex have moved up by one point, now claiming that second spot still.

04:45:32 So for 4-6, anybody's game, depending on how many KP they're able to acquire here, as we're seeing our teams having to fight for this real estate. Everybody moving in. Golem and 3D Max still on top of each other. Meanwhile, you've got the full English in a solid spot. Fat Kid Community in the vicinity. Silly there. And like you said, Zephyr, look at that ring. Eternal are celebrating right now. It is good, but I would be just as scared as well.

04:46:02 Everybody wants to play around this for GoNext Esports. They take their time on this rotation, and it is one that we discussed a bit earlier on. The lava is always playable. The sight lines, not great. You are going to be targeted here from anyone that just gets a quick few pot shots, but it is something that guarantees you're existing in this late game here. Hopefully you can make it towards when we get that next close and the second one after that, where you're able to hug that wall and maybe, maybe make for a transition on the late game if they have some.

04:46:32 Oder pick that one up if anyone gets wiped, dropping down below.

04:46:40 Fürbidden hier, versuchen wir hier zu bleiben. Sie haben auch einen guten Job zu retten, ihre Position zu retten, und viele Teams haben versucht sie aus dieser Geburt. Sie haben unsere 2nd-Place Team in Gonext, in der Vecinität, die sie müssen, um zu bemerken. Oh, Atlas. Also, Atlas. Ich denke, ich habe das Riss. Da geht's. Sie haben wir hier. Sie sind und Sie sind hier. Sie sind hier in der Dream.

04:47:06 LB, both members of Atlas pulled back into this one and arguably for not a terrible position. Transitioning out and across here is a little bit difficult, but with TryHardThor on that Newcastle, a pick that we have not seen a lot of today, pair that with a couple of smokes and they can cut the gap towards that house if, well, if you gotta survive a couple Kraber shots first. That is insane. They're gonna do what they can here.

04:47:33 This rock and this bin really helping Atlas as much as possible. But Golem don't want to allow them to live. The Kraber in the hands ready to go. Instead, they smoke off, back up and see if they can maybe line up another Kraber shot or two. Don't want to force that knowing that Forbidden is still in the area. And if they don't need to lose out on damage or positioning, they won't. Good.

04:47:56 This is everything for Golem. They've worked so hard to cement themselves within this position. Playing from above, they'll find initial drops here. Remember though, with Newcastle always in the favor of TryHardThor, it is quick resets. But it does come at the cost of, well, resources. Now forced to make the jump, whether they like it or not. They're going to opt to play for the low ground, which is right into the heart of another team. Phenomenal pressure from Golem there.

04:48:23 We're starting to see our teams dying here in the killfeed. We're down to top 10. We still have many Mac Point squads alive. Full English moving in, trying to survive this mass exodus. Not taking as much damage as I would have thought so far. They've done a good job for themselves. Del will need to get those shields back up, but they found a little cubby they can hide in for now. Meanwhile, the Donut not looking very tasty for these squads. Forced to fight from down below.

04:48:50 We are down to just rolling teams who can keep this series going. The rest of the teams are in fact on match point.

04:49:14 So this is going to be tough for rolling teams. They're right behind Forbidden, and you can see where everybody else is. Full English have moved into a great spot. Eternal's still holding their building right now, with Phase Plant all by themselves up north, no one looking their way. I love this from Forbidden, trying to pull off the wall of success here to keep that elimination somewhere in their favor. A couple of knockdown shields make it a bit better, but the minute you peek those stairs, you're done and done.

04:49:43 Dusted here for Forbidden. I don't even know if they can make the climb here in a second ahead. Gotta wonder if they got the utility to spare on at least one of the members of this team. Forbidden trying to do what they can from down below here. Definitely a rough spot to be in. Gonna see if they can grab some left. Rolling teams are out! Rolling teams!

04:50:14 Das Zip-Line für Faze ist massiv.

04:50:51 Surprisingly, even with all of that, they get recovery off Gold Knockdown. Golem, do not push in here. FaZe are in the interior. Three squads remaining. Golem, Eternal, who have been here all game long, who now have the position in second place. Eternal, they need this. This is crazy that Eternal have knocked Go Next and Forbidden out of that spot. FaZe Clan at the top with 104.

04:51:21 Fazeclan ist auf der Faze-Klan.

04:52:05 Das war's für heute.

Analyse des Finales: FaZe Clans Triumph, Golems Beinahe-Sieg und die Bedeutung der LCQ

04:52:22

04:52:22 I mean, that's their third win out of a nine-game series. 30% going the way Faze. That is well-deserved. Okay, that was an insane way to close things out. Let's get the rest of the squad in here so we can start talking about this. Graceful, Dia, come back and join us because that was a fantastic way to close it out. Graceful, I'm going to go straight to you because I saw you in that chat. You called Faze Clan winning.

04:52:50 A good 10 minutes ago, just based off of their position. So tell me what you saw, why you thought that was going to happen, and, you know, just walk me through it. I mean, it's pretty simple because they cleared their bags and they made sure nobody would rotate from the northern side, pushed everybody into...

04:53:04 Fissure und dann von der South Side war es super congested. So, sie haben alles für free, so lange sie können ihre Grunde halten, die sie mit dem Rock hatten. Und dann die Zone pullt die Outward Sword mit den Binsen, die ist in ihren Favoren. Und dann, ich bin ein bisschen scared, wenn Cynetik Solo pushed in und wurde down. Ich dachte, er ist zumindest zu werden, oder so. Aber die Fakt, dass sie das Reset hatten und sie kept ihre Positionen haben, hat das Problem. Aber sie hat das Problem gemacht. Aber sie hat das Spiel gewonnen. Aber sie hat das Spiel gewonnen.

04:53:31 That was a very fun way for FACE to take it. And they really did take it. Yes, Synetic got knocked, but they took the risk there, Dia. They pushed in on full English, even though they knew there was a potential for a third party, depending on how that push went. And it still worked out for them.

04:53:48 Yeah, I was surprised. I was just as surprised as you to see that work out. I expected them to actually just play the roof way faster. But what really held my attention in those last moments, and I can't help but feel a little bad for them, is Golem, who were just so incredibly close. If Golem had won that game, they make their way from winning three challenger circuits up to making it to Japan. And they do get shut down, and rightly so. A lot of our teams played fantastically.

04:54:16 But let's not forget how close these teams got so many of them to making it to Sapporo. Yeah, and we also, we need to shout out Eternal. They had a really solid spot all match, but it was a spot that obviously a lot of teams were going to be fighting them for, and they had to hold on to that.

04:54:33 We were watching that second place being leapfrogged by team after team. Cybercats go out, then it's go next that has it, then go next goes out. They don't have it anymore. I mean, Forbidden jump up, then Eternal jump up. It was such a close top six at that point that it was near points that were separating these squads Zephyr.

04:54:53 It's crazy, too, because the only situation where that comes truly into play is if, well, FaZe Clan wins. Which, granted, after seeing the performance today, it seems like that's so surefire. But the reality is, with so many teams on Matchpoint, it almost was potentially, like we said for many times, the win or bust. So for Eternal, even with just 12 points, guys, that is not a lot of points to Eclipse into a position that seals the deal for you.

04:55:24 Ich glaube, es ist ein wirklich, wirklich verrücktes Tag für FaZe Clan. Ich denke, eine der Dinge, die wir oft sprechen sprechen, ist, wenn man diese LCQs kommt, die Teams aus der Challenge Circuit, oder die Teams, die wir in Split 2 oder in Split 1 gesehen haben, die jetzt in der LCQ sind, werden sie dann auch so gut auf der globalen Ebene sein und graceful sein? Ich denke, wenn wir...

04:55:51 The FaZe Clan we saw today, they're definitely going to be in contention for being one of those top 5 squads. So FaZe has always been a LAN contender, like a LAN winning contender, and now with the addition of Jade, you know, I know him probably better than anybody in the entire Apex scene, having been his teammate for several years.

04:56:10 They're definitely even a higher level. And I think that, you know, regardless of who they're swapping out, like, is it the same boat or not? I think that they will always keep that land level regardless because Senetic has just been absolutely crazy as we see in the overall consistency on both maps and not just strong one map, but both maps. And that's really good. Yeah, Senetic was definitely bringing a lot to the table for FaZe Clan. Now, I want to take a look back.

04:56:38 our final circle specifically what we just watched

04:56:43 In that final match for match number nine, because there were so many teams jockeying for position here, and you got to watch it from the outside looking in. So I want to hear your perspective on anything you might have caught while watching this go down. Yeah, this last game was tough because every team in here knows that it's the last game, just like you guys called it in the middle. You know, these IGLs are tracking what every moment means, and it's for that reason.

04:57:12 But we actually see this takes such a long time for Eternal to exit the building. They stay inside because every single position point matters. FaZe Clan, they may have high ground, but much like they did earlier, FaZe Clan also make great use of taking space, where in contrast, Golems slip into this corner. And Graceful, I imagine you saw something similar, where as soon as Golems give up that space, FaZe Clan gets to play the outside and wait for the game to come to bed.

04:57:39 Ja, definitiv. Und wie du sagst, sie spielen für verschiedene Dinge. Sie spielen für Punkte und sie spielen für die Tournament. Und ich denke, dass, wenn du in verschiedene Spots auf der Leaderboard bist, du musst dich zu prioritise. Weil, realistisch, wenn du 9-10 Teams auf der Matchpoint hast, kannst du nicht realistisch tracken alle und kannst du nicht wirklich machen, dass die Tournament weitergeht. Also, du machst die beste Sache für sie, das ist für Punkte. Aber in diesem Fall, die Tournament endet.

04:58:06 All right, well, now that we've made it through our LCQ Series here for EMEA, that means we have two more teams that are now qualified through to champ. So we'll take a look at this list again. We saw it at the beginning of the day where we noted the new additions of the four teams from APAC North and APAC South, respectively. Now we'll be adding our two teams of FaZe Clan and Eternal into the mix here.

04:58:35 Das ist ein großes Problem.

04:58:38 It is, and I like what Graceful brings up about the fact that for FaZe, this is a place that feels comfortable for them. They are not only a team that has made their way through LCQs, but definitely has the potential to perform when we talk about a position at Champs. Eternal, they themselves steeped with a long history. Both, of course, Kiner and Bino showing some potential at LAN before. I do want to make a huge shout out to Shex, though. This is an individual who has been playing on A&Z.

04:59:08 Was ist das? Was ist das?

04:59:30 Phenomenal, phenomenal day. Definitely exciting moment for FaZe and Eternal alike. Graceful, as an EMEA competitor yourself, give me your thoughts overall on what we saw out of all our teams here today, now that we know who's qualified through and how everything played out. I think that the teams that are at the top are to be...

04:59:54 Ich denke, dass sie auf der Top für einen Grunde sind. Und sie sind konsistenten durch viele Seasons. Ich bin ein bisschen sad, weil wir sehen kleine glimpsen von den Lower-Enden Tier 2 und CC-Teams kommen. Aber, honestly, half von ihnen war handikappt von Contest und Macros auf den anderen Teams zu sein. Ich glaube, ich glaube, dass wir die Potenzialen von diesen Teams haben, das ist kind of sad. Aber, overall, an der Upper-Enden der Leaderboard ist das, was ich erwartet.

05:00:22 The dominants from the teams that are heavy hitters are heavy hitters for a reason. I wish though in future tournaments that we do get to see more LCQ teams shine and hopefully we even get to feature them a little bit more because I think any team deserves some spotlight regardless of your strength. I love that. I love that. We've definitely seen and we say this about

05:00:42 und ALGS als auch, aber es absoluten applies zu Challenger Circuit. Es ist das, dass jedes Jahr, jedes Jahr, jedes Jahr, wir sehen, die Leistung aufhörer, unsere Spieler werden besser. Und das ist warum, wie du gesagt hast, Graceful, wir werden mehr storylines kommen aus der Challenger Circuit. Und hoffentlich werden wir sehen das, weil das ist die ganze Punkt der Challenger Circuit, okay? Es ist die Möglichkeit, zu kommen über die ranks und dann provee sich auf der internationalen stage, die so viele unserer squads haben jetzt qualified zu machen.

05:01:11 We still have two more spots left available for NA to do the exact same thing. It's been really, really good here so far. Was it what you expected for my EMEA fanboy here in Zephyr? Oh, yeah. At least right off the bat, we had something that was highlighted.

05:01:31 und so viele andere. Und das in itself ist warum es die hardest event to play in the ALGS.

05:02:00 The LCQ, as entertaining as it is, is definitely the worst for so many of these competitors to have to fight through. So it's already been a congratulation set in stone for FaZe and Eternal, but I cannot reiterate how incredible it is, even as a fan. Oh, absolutely. For all of our teams.

05:02:22 that are competing in our challenger circuits continue signing up continue getting yourself in those competitions getting your name in the community and grinding it out because it's going to pay off eventually in the long run and who knows you might be one of the next teams playing on a stage like the international one that we're going to be seeing for champs in japan not to mention i heard you talking about it dia you're

05:02:48 für BLGS. Das ist das Rumor, ich habe gehört. Ich bin bereit für es. Ich würde gerne, wenn ich zu. Ich würde gerne, wenn ich zu. Aber du hast gesagt, Zephyr, du hast gesagt, die incredible entertainment die LCQ gebracht hat. Es hat auch eine große Herausforderung für unsere Challenge Circuit squads, die Teams der meisten consistent throughout den Jahr. Und das ist wo ich BLGS ist wirklich wichtig.

05:03:16 way more pro teams in the mix alongside the challenger circuit squads so if you're interested absolutely go sign up because playing in the blgs is going to get all of our challenger circuit teams who are at the top of their game so much more experience playing against pro league and actually should

05:03:36 Ich glaube, es ist ein sehr guter Punkt, und ich bin gespannt, was wir sehen.

05:04:00 with more consistent competition when it comes to our competitive community here for Apex Legends. It's going to be a great way to close out the year, especially heading into Japan. And Apex Legends is only going to get better every single time. So excited to see what all of you at home will bring to us in our new layers of competitive availability here. But that's what we've got wrapped up here for EMEA.

05:04:28 Glad to hear final thoughts from all three of you while we were hanging out. But we're not done with the competition here for today. I mentioned it before. We still have NA left to go, and it's literally right around the corner. Two more teams will qualify to play at Champs after it's all said and done, kicking off at 3.50 p.m. PT. But who are those teams going to be? Will a new team make a name for themselves like we've been talking about? Or will it be those experienced squads?

05:04:58 Let's see the international stage yet again. Make sure that you are tuning in in just an hour to find out how it all goes. But if you're unable to make it later, or if you miss anything that just happened, or if you just want to keep up with everything we've got going on throughout the year, just follow us on social media, okay? You can at Play Apex on Twitch and at Play Apex Esports on X and YouTube.

05:05:25 To just keep yourself up to date with everything we've got going on. And of course, like Dia said, don't forget about those signups for the BLGS. Because you could be playing alongside some of your favorite pros. And it's definitely worth it. But for now, it's time for a short break between regions as we prepare to dive into NA. So get your snacks and your drinks ready because two more teams will make their way through to Champs when we return. We'll see you soon, Legends.
