ALGS EMEA Pro League: Begrüßung und Teamvorstellung
00:05:48
00:05:48 It's definitely churned some fires and we've seen it in the performances so far. It's now time for EMEA to show yet again why that won't be happening and they'll have more representation but also
00:06:14 A bigger chance to hoist that trophy coming up soon. My name is Randy. I'm so excited to welcome you back to our second day of that doubleheader, as I mentioned, and kick things off with one of the most exciting regions and one of the regions that has the most to prove here in the ALGS. But of course, I'm not alone, and that means we've got a great crew in the show today. I call him Archbishop. I call him Duke.
00:06:37 to give this guy a title. I think he deserves it. He brings the good energy and he obviously brings the great Apex. Dia, it's great to have you here, man. And it's great to be here, especially with somebody with whom I can exchange titles that are reminiscent of a monarchical era. I've had a really great week, Randy. It's been really fun watching yesterday's games and I'm excited to get into them today.
00:07:04 It's beautiful weather outside, so I've been enjoying that as well. I can't even find a complaint about this week. It's been perfect. It's been perfect. And, you know, I always say this behind the scenes. This guy's always wearing the most comfy stuff in our green room saying, how are you getting sweaters like that, shirts like that? He blames it on his wife's good taste. I think he's got some good taste, too, definitely when it comes to Apex Comms. So we're excited to have you, Jamerson, buddy. How you feeling?
00:07:27 Surprisingly, I picked this out myself because my wife isn't here this weekend, but I also bought this by myself. So, you know, like I got two things going for me right now. I think it looks good. I think it looks all right. And, you know, picking up a nice little flannel here. We're talking about the weather. It's a little bit chilly out. And so this is keeping me comfy. I know. Don't give this guy what a telestrator is going to start drawing, you know, weather, weather temperatures and things like that. I love it. It just means the vibe is good here. Right, guys? I think that's what it is outside and inside.
00:07:55 Apex is ready to go. And if you just joined us, you probably want to know what happened yesterday. I mentioned Doubleheader. Well, yesterday had a fun bit of action across the entire EMEA region, guys. It started off with Alliance kicking off pretty well, but it ultimately would end up Dia being the day where Navi would find a way and assert themselves at a position where, you know, hey, even though Alliance is so successful, they're still able to kind of maintain control over EMEA.
00:08:23 Ja, Navi keep reasserting themselves on top, and I think that's really important, not just looking at yesterday's games, but looking at today's games as well. In the last time these two groups faced each other, now that we're entering round two of the first split, it was Navi on top last time, and I'm expecting that it'll be Navi on top this time, if only because nobody seems to be able to keep this team down for long enough to actually take a full group off of them.
00:08:48 A bit of a disappointing performance from them, Jamerson. We're going to see, obviously, that come about in a little bit. But Alliance, Gaming, Gladiators, Space Clan, all kind of highlights of yesterday, showing that they deserve to be in this conversation, too. Oh, yeah, definitely. Especially with how consistent Alliance is always performing. Right now, it's about who's going to be at top and who's going to be maintaining those four spots going into EWC. But if we take a look at the breakdown, it is those four squads. Alliance, Gaming, Gliders, Space Clan, Na'Vi, all in the top four.
00:09:18 Some interesting kind of legend bands as well. You know, Sparrow coming out, being relatively strong. We saw him played a bit, but it definitely changed the way that we were looking at those last games. Now with Bangalore, Wraith being banned there, giving a lot more opportunity for our Agile Archer to be showcased. And I'm sure many of you are excited to see how the pros have developed with them. Alliance, yesterday, that was their day. GG, FaZe Clan, not a spin seer. They gave it up a while after some of those big wins. But overall,
00:09:46 Well, it's still not as Fincier at the top. And Dia, this is expected for a team that's lifted the trophy pretty recently, but also just keeping pace with a lot of other teams. Look at Forbidding and look at Ronan. I mean, there's some teams here that are certainly starting to make a climb. Yeah, and you know, even today, we have a lot of squads that I would say still need to make the jump when you're looking towards the regional finals, when you're looking towards the midseason playoffs qualification. Teams like
00:10:15 S.J. P2 are right at the line in 23rd of being maybe able to make it, especially after what we saw from them at the Open, but haven't quite secured their spot yet. So as we get into the second part of the second round of the season, there are teams that are on the bubble around that 16th to 25th place that you really want to be looking at and saying, who's stepping up coming into round two? Yeah, surprisingly, teams like Aurora, you might notice them down there, but they'll be featured today. They're getting their third matchup.
00:10:43 Ja, ich meine, definitiv, wie Dia hat gesagt, die letzte Mal A vs. V...
00:11:11 A vs C matched up, it was all Na'Vi. And we were wondering, you know, were they going to be able to continue that kind of performance? And they have definitely shown that they can. And unfortunately here, we have to mention, you know, the giant gorilla in the room versus the...
00:11:29 Now 54 players in the lobby. But yeah, we've got 54 players in the lobby. We've got 18 teams. Unfortunately, you know, something's happened with rosters disbanding. So we will be facing off here. That does mean, though, that there's going to be a lot more space on the map for teams to move around and find, you know, extra loot. So we'll see if that changes anything today. A lot of names. We're going to talk about storylines and plenty here.
00:11:54 Diea, wir uns durch die Veränderungen über die Veränderungen, die neue Namen sind. Wenn ihr nicht wisst, geht es nicht. Wir hatten ein Shake-Up in Emiah. Ja, für diejenigen, die von F9-A-Car fans sind, jetzt spielen Undermind, das ist wirklich schön zu sehen. Und auch viel einfacher zu sagen, von meiner Perspektive. Nages in Pajama ist nicht mehr zu sein, und Zero Tenacity...
00:12:16 The team disbanded, but take a look right below them. That's going to be on the right side of your screen. And it's Pengu Power that have now taken on the name of Zero Tenacity. Nemesis have changed their name as well. And Danish have changed over to Team War. So if you're fans of any of those teams, start making the transfer in your mind right now. And if you're a Zero Tenacity fan...
00:12:36 Ja, ich glaube, du hast jemanden zu halten. Wir sehen uns an die Namen, viele werden die Org Onik von Apec-South verzeichnet werden, aber sie sind hier in EMEA jetzt. Die Pioneer sind gesund. Die Exo-Klan haben viel mehr Spaß zu sagen, als ich mich nicht mehr überrascht. Die Org und die Zip-Line-Mafia haben uns gehört. Das ist auch, wenn ich sage, Randi, eine sehr spannende Name.
00:13:00 Very exciting name, and I'm just loving Sha-La-La. We were doing a little bit of singing. I don't know if you can remember some tunes that incorporate some of those phonetic sounds, but Jamerson, all jokes aside, it's time to talk what that means with these orcs, because it's not just the names, it's the players and rosters that have also shaken up starting the second half of our split. Yeah, I mean, I definitely don't envy Glitter.
00:13:23 Genome and Vicky having to cast Babaji and Shalala all in the same lobby, but anyhow, the roster changes. Yeah, so with NIP now going over to NA and that roster disbanding here in EMEA, Nasky ends up getting picked up by Ronin, but he will no longer be in IGL. He will just be able to take a back seat and let MG Clutch lead that team. We've also got a change in Team Cats, who have dropped the T in Taxington, so now they are cracked with CA...
00:13:49 Oh, nevermind. Let's move on. Stay healthy, though. We'll also lose out on Slayers and pick up Mesko. And we have a few more at the end here. Cybercats, not the only team, of course, sending one off to the shelter as Taskmaster leaves and we bring on Ilanzi. We have Aurora, one of the biggest shakeups, I would say, in a roster. Losing out on Ori Reign and picking up Excuse, which is a person that...
00:14:17 Wir sehen uns, wie wir das nicht kennenlernen können. Wir sehen uns, wie wir das aussehen.
00:14:45 So, da you have it, Rain Day!
Mid-Season Roster Changes und Team Fokus
00:15:13
00:15:13 mentioning at the top of the show because you know, when you think about how this season is beginning, we've never had a land in the middle of the season. And land is after that where a lot of teams get to realize, is this going to work for the long haul? And so that's probably one of the biggest impotuses as to why mid-season we're seeing so many shakeups, people realizing right away.
00:15:33 We need a little bit of a different piece. Hard to look at Zidane and coming from a championship roster and now not having a place to play. We'll see if Slab is the answer for Navi to keep that energy after what probably was a disappointing Open for them. But that leads us into what is the storyline today, guys, as these teams in A versus C go head-to-head. Dia, I'll start with you. Who do you have your eye on?
00:15:54 You know, I gotta say, I'm picking an old favorite because Cybercats, especially the org from last year, was a really exciting team to watch. Now they've got Alonzi, Azus, and Ranches. And yesterday, they actually managed to have a huge tick up in their performance. Being the first time throughout the whole split that they even cracked top 10, they managed to find a win.
00:16:16 In a singular game, in game 5. And push themselves up to 6th overall on the day. This was of course a really fantastic time for CyberCats. And what's really interesting about this to me. Is that when we started the day. They were stuck on Crypto. There was Crypto, Crypto, Crypto, Crypto. As soon as Crypto is banned in match number 4.
00:16:37 1st place with Sparrow. I know that Cybercats are trying to land on one thing that maybe doesn't suit everyone else's flavor, but right now, I mean, their Sparrow does look really exciting. But Jamerson, who do you have your eye on?
00:16:52 Yeah, I mean, you were talking about the Shake-Up of Sparrow coming in, but really I want to talk about this huge one. We talked about it earlier before, Nasky getting picked up by Ronin, but he will not be the IGL. It will still be MG Clutch. Now, this will lead into a lot of problems. Sometimes when you bring in a long-time IGL, maybe you have them kind of lead in the beginning and calm a lot of the macro stuff, and then when it comes to the late game, your guy ends up taking over, your IGL ends up taking over the...
00:17:21 . . . . .
00:17:50 So I want to see how this team evolves over time. You know, I love all the points you made. I think CyberCats and their ability to perform first and fourth in those last two games with Sparrow is interesting. I'm always looking out for that agile Archer. I love the story with Nasky too, because he wrote a very long tweet talking about his decisions that he had to make, and he's finally found it with Ronin. What will they do? And the bigger question for me is what is going on with Aurora? We've seen...
00:18:17 Untertitelung im Auftrag des ZDAN
00:18:38 There to hold ground with them. And they brought in this young Fragger Excuse. These are some of those clips that are literally from Ranked, which shows you not just how good this player is, but also maybe how undiscovered he is on the larger ALGS Pro scene. These are the moments that the Open is about. These are the moments that the Pro season is about. Trying out someone who could be the key piece and the key start of this team. Excuse might just give them all the reasons that they need to take first place today. So I'll have my...
00:19:08 Really, really exciting for Aurora and all those teams that are making those changes. We'll see how they have an impact. Again, we are doing this post-land, so it's a mid-split. It's a double-header weekend. A is going twice, so this is going to be a lot of fun. One of the things, too, guys, when we look at what it means to be a pro player is all of the supporting elements that allow you to do what you need to do.
00:19:31 We hear these numbers, 10 hours a day of playing. You know, I don't have 10 hours to do anything, especially as a dad now. I'm trying to get one hour to do something. But how do they keep that simplicity, that system in line and still know where the Met is going? That's because of their supporting system behind them. And oftentimes, it's not just an analyst, it's a coach. It's someone who helps their performance and keeps them on track. Let's take a look at what the coaches in EMEA have been doing to help our teams reach the success that they have.
00:19:58 Mein Name ist Martin. Ich gehe bei Pierre. Ich bin der Allianz Performance Manager. Mein Name ist Steves und ich bin der Coach für Navika. Ich bin Luke und ich bin der Coach für Gaming Leaders.
00:20:15 Coaching in Alliance is a bit of a unique thing, where I work more so with the players, like on a performance level and a mental level. Meanwhile, Nott is the strategic guy. He does the numbers, he runs the stats. The role of a coach varies for myself. I'm mainly a strategic coach, trying to find strategies and tactics that help us be at the top. My whole as a coach is...
00:20:39 Basically, I study other teams. I study my team in terms of the mistakes we do. And they have someone who does everything behind the scenes for them. All that I do, I believe that my players are able to win. The thing is, they don't have the time. It allows simply for the players to have a much simpler life. And focus on the important part is shoot and win.
00:21:06 Was ist etwas, was die Leute nicht wissen können, dass wir tun, ist, dass ich sie sehr Fragen stellen. Ich helfe sie auch mit ihren Schnellen, damit sie besser werden als Menschen. Auf dem Performance und Mentalen aspecten, Akoch ist wichtig, und das ist einfach es. Du kennenzulierst deine Spieler und du kennenzulierst sie auf einen menschlichen Bereich.
00:21:28 Es ist sehr wichtig, dass du die größte Person in der room bist. Du bist der Kalmest und du bist der Muisabriez. Und sie empfehlen, dass sie ihre Kopfschmerzen sind. Und sie empfehlen, dass sie ihre Kopfschmerzen sind.
00:21:50 Ja, ich denke, dass die Trainer manchmal nicht genug ist. Aber es geht nicht um einen guten Trainer oder nicht. Sie müssen eine gute Team in generell. Ich denke, dass die Trainer nicht die richtige Rekognition bekommen. Aber gleichzeitig der Hauptfokus ist die Spieler, und das sollte immer wieder sein. Ich weiß, dass wir wirklich hart für die Trainer als Trainer auch gearbeitet haben, mehr als alles, ich wollte meine Spieler in der Spotlighten und für sie zu bezeichnen.
00:22:20 When we lifted the EWC Trophy, your heart drops to your feet and you're just standing there. Nothing but proudness for your team. It was like the proudest that moment you could probably ever experience. When your team wins a game, that is what you do it for. I just jump out of the chair, the emotions are in insane letters. It was literally months of hard work, so proud of.
00:22:47 und es war ein einziges Moment, den ich nie vergessen werde.
00:22:57 An in-depth look behind the scenes of what happens that makes these teams the machines that they are. A big shout out to our coaches who often go underappreciated but still have the maturity to keep it in mind that yes, the players are the star. We're just here to help them shine. Love that and love what we got to see from there. We've got more coming up in North America and we've got a game coming up here to kick off our broadcast. So I'm going to send it to you guys very soon, Dia and Jamerson. But first, if you're watching, I want to let you know.
00:23:25 Das FACE-IT-WATCH exist. Und du sollst es, denn es gibt einen Apex-Way. Multiview, die verschiedenen Angeln, die verschiedenen Rotationen, die verschiedenen Momenten und die verschiedenen Momenten. Oder in die Weise du siehst. Es ist ein Map-Feed, oder an Al-G.S. Viewing-Experienz. Vielleicht mit einem guten Food, einem Wasser und einem Kouch. Also, set es wie du willst. Chromecast-Ready. Put es auf der Big-Screen.
00:23:53 or your gaming room, whatever it is. Face it. Watch. That's the best part. You control it. You watch the ALGS your way. The other thing we want to let you guys know is that we're doing a segment that is live and interactive at halftime with someone that you're going to be excited to see. It's Funk. He's going to be joining us. So make sure to ask questions and participate because we want to know what
00:24:13 questions you have for a pro broadcast, for what's going on in the day. Let us know and interact with our socials at play Apex Esports on X or twitch.tv slash play Apex or youtube.com slash play Apex Esports. We will be looking at the responses on X. We'll be filing some of those questions and putting them on the show. So if you want to be on the show, great opportunity to do it. All right. See ya.
Meta-Analyse und Strategien in E-District
00:24:37
00:24:37 Jamerson, guys, it's about time to go. The game is about to be ready. Let's kick off EMEA here and see what they've got as we head into our second day of this fun Memorial Day doubleheader. Take it away. All right. Thank you, Randy. Jamerson, second day of Sparrow play. I'm wondering, you know, how you're feeling coming into today is it's not just the rematch of these groups, but still the introduction of a new meta. We're experimenting with some stuff.
00:25:04 Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of changes, not just the Sparrow that comes in, but of course you got the changes to the Bowcheck Bow, but overall the gun meta. Yesterday it wasn't all P2020s, we got to see a lot of R99s, Devotions, Rampages, so it looks like we've gotten to a healthier state overall, and I feel like that's gonna actually work to the benefit of some of our stronger controller players overall, right? Players that have really mastered how to use R9 in those close range combat, and remain consistent with their fights, and so for a lot of our...
00:25:33 Ja, und NoMap ist nicht möglich. Teams, die in deinen FACE-FIGHTS haben, mehr als E-District. Und für Gruppe C ist das erste Mal, dass sie E-District spielen können. Für Aurora...
00:25:57 They're gonna be one of those squads. Alter, high priority for a lot of our teams as well, as you'll be seeing not just Aurora run them, I'm sure, but as we look up towards the rest of the map as well, yes, Aurora do start things off nicely, but we're gonna be moving over towards Zero Tenacity and sha-la-la. Yeah, I think one thing to note is that, you know, with all the changes that have come in, um, that...
00:26:26 Ich denke, E-District ist noch in der Infanzierung, in der Teams sind noch immer wieder mit Broken Moon. So, jetzt haben wir viele neue Variabler, die Teams sind noch immer wieder zu finden. Ich meine, wir sind nur, was, in Matchday 4 hier? Wir hatten eine LAN, aber es fühlt sich das neue Territory ist etwas, das ich wirklich nicht erlebt habe in Apex Legends in einem sehr lange Zeit.
00:26:51 Ja, das ist immer noch ein Problem, und der eine Sache ist, dass Alter gut ist. Und für viele unserer Teams, das bedeutet, dass sie auf Alter bekommen haben. Und für das erste Spiel, das ist, dass es ...
00:27:05 dass wir 15 Alters haben. Und wir werden nicht sehen, dass sie sie zurück in den nächsten 2 und 3 werden. Das wird eine große Herausforderung haben später. Wir sind schon ein paar Teams mit den Early Rotaten, mit den Evac Towers, die wir sehen sind, und Mind ist eine dieser Team, die starten zu picken. Es ist gegen Ronin, aber es ist nicht der vollen Team von Ronin. 1 Chaotik separated aus dem Rest.
00:27:28 Yeah, in particular when we're talking about the Legend Man system now, with the Altar and the Ash is really getting picked up early on here, this could change up how things basically break down. Once we move on over to our next map, Broken Moon, Na'Vi, when they were able to play the Altar and the Ash throughout the day on Broken Moon, they were able to get about 50, or no, 60 points on Broken Moon, but they won't...
00:27:52 Probably have access to that kind of same composition. We'll see if Newcastle survives, but it looks like basically that trio might get eliminated really early on. Three Team Affair here is Totem looking to try and possibly third party this one, but now they find themselves on the back foot or well on the low foot here as they're stuck on the ground.
00:28:12 And a lot of places to play, and this is the perfect example of it. When you get over to E-District, you can play in a lot of these little canteens. Keep yourself safe, especially with something like a Newcastle, to defend the front door and Catalyst right on top of that. Reply Totem have plenty of mobility when it comes to the late game. What could be concerning for the squad is if they haven't picked the right spot and they have to relocate later, there's not a lot of ashes, not a lot of rates that'll get them from one place to another safely.
00:28:40 Ja, importantly, though, um, as we keep highlighting the altar pick is that, you know, here, especially on E-District, with that altar available.
00:28:50 Um, a lot of the chokes aren't as detrimental, right? There are a lot more creative ways you can get around, but also, once we get into the late game, we learn that when you're taking fights, that these walls and doors that you feel safe behind, really, they're just illusions. They're not really there. As you can see, you just float on through, and you have to worry about that extra dimension when it comes to the fights now. Too alter, I guess?
00:29:15 In the most literal way possible, the walls are social constructs. It really is fun to see Alter be able to pass through those. Again, something that you're going to have to make really sharp use of in this game. Because if you are a team whose game plan relies on being able to make these quick rotations, these unexpected fights and take angles...
00:29:35 This is your game to do it. And for some of those squads, you've got to rotate a long way in order to make that happen. A team like Aurora taking their time on the rotate, coming up from the south now, just gone through draft point and are still, I'd say...
00:29:48 I wouldn't even necessarily put him as getting cold feet, but I think intentionally taking their time around the edge of the map, Aurora's gameplan, as you highlighted early on, is to take fights. Yeah, it's to take fights, but also try to negative rotate and try to pick up, of course, additional loot along the way. You're waiting out the timer here. And ultimately, I think it's going to benefit them. I mean, we saw yesterday the kinds of late game...
00:30:13 um loadouts you can have double red armors with the gold helm stuff like that and aurora is a team that likes to fight with a huge fight uh with a huge uh deficit on the other side right they want to be able to come in with the purples with the red shields if possible they know they can fight their way on in and especially if they have the confidence of that additional evo shield behind it
00:30:34 Sie sollten die erste Kampf in den nächsten Mal. Aurora und SJP2 sind sehr nahe zu uns auf dem Map. Team War, finden Sie einen Platz in Energiebank. Aber jetzt ist es ein paar Pokken mit den 30-30s. Das ist eine der Nastieste Weapons in Apex. Ich bin...
00:30:52 I've been doing some unfair things to people and getting some unfair things done to me in my ranked games. Again, right here, War, formerly Team Danish plus Arctic, are showing off the drastic change in the weapon meta since we had the ALGS open while it was like P2020s and then some...
00:31:12 We'll see lots of different loadouts once teams start picking up more of the ballistics. That's where it gets a little bit absurd. We're seeing, of course, a lot of the slinged rampages coming in for them, but also double LMGs will come into play sometime. VCGO, though, here in Blondheim.
00:31:41 Awesome drive and a small little engagement.
00:31:45 They did pick up a quick knock, but again, when Alter's in the game, especially when we have this many of them, it's crazy to see how fast the disengages come in, and VCGO aren't really able to finalize the kill, get themselves a point. Instead, we've yet to drop a single team, even barely a player yet so far, Jamerson. VCGO, all they've got to show for this game so far is height, and with 18 teams left, no placement points for them, that is not nearly enough.
00:32:13 Ja, mit diesem Ring zu gehen, um zu City Hall zu gehen. Wir haben natürlich auch, wir starten mit 18 Squads hier. Wir haben viel mehr Raum auf den Rotaten. Und Sie sehen, dass das jetzt hier ist, dass wir eine große Convergung haben. Was ist das? Wir haben über, was, mehr als die Hälfte unserer Lobby, vielleicht drei Quarters von der Lobby, hier auf der southern Seite der Zone. Wir arbeiten jetzt mit einem sehr vieler Bewegung zu dieser Zone.
00:32:40 Team 10k War, Team Nemesis and Reply Totem.
00:33:10 Das war's. Das war's.
00:33:22 Das ist ein sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.
00:33:47 Und Sie müssen die besten benutzen von Teams zu kommen, später in die Runde zu kommen. Ein Team wie Lesion Gaming, vielleicht auf die Seite, mit nicht viel zu viel cover für sichern, werden noch ein bisschen mehr Zeit gehabt haben, obwohl der Kitted-Load-Out so weit ist. Und es Atlus, aus dem Norden, hat die besten Weg in die Runde zu gehen, wo wir das große Choke in die Süddeutschen haben. Wir haben keine Probleme mit den wenigen Teams, die in den Norden wollen, und finden sich in die nächste Zone in den nächsten Zonen.
00:34:16 Ja, jetzt ist es jetzt noch ein paar Teams jockeying für Position. Es ist einfach ein paar Positionen da auf der Southseite. Die Leute, die auf die Survey Beacons sind, natürlich, können die Beacons avoid. Und jetzt haben wir noch nicht viele Engagements. Vielleicht ZipLine Mafia und VCGO werden da auf der Southseite gehen. Wir vielleicht auch haben eine Konvergence von Aurora und Legion Gaming. Aber hier ist es, ZipLine Mafia mit der High-Ground-Advantage.
00:34:45 Zipline Mafia mit all of this height actually got a lot of responsibility on them as well it's difficult to cover as many angles as they need to and be able to pick up kills and they get flanked from the side as well losing control of the engagement will they be able to survive already trying to disengage through the altar portal I think Void Nexus is going to let them reset for now in Zipline Mafia while they do drop
00:35:14 Two Nox? They haven't actually dropped a kill just yet. We're staying in this limbo stage, Jamerson. Finally, we will get one finished off. But VCGO, seem keen to recover.
00:35:26 Ja, Cybercats war able to find a keen opportunity to try and come in for the third party. Both squads really realizing, hey, this is not it. This is not the fight. And so they will go ahead and back away for now. Again, with the space that's left here on the map, there's plenty of opportunities to back away. Legion Gaming, though, on the back foot. Already losing out on Sam. SJP2 pushing forward.
00:35:49 Miskam ist nicht interessiert in das 1v1, auch mit dem Devo, braucht es ein Reload. Und Kahn von der Seite, die Anker auf dem Ballistik mit dem 30-30. Bevor die restlichen Team, Miskam ist zu gehen. Und jetzt ist es alles zu Kahn, und du hast das Pressure auf dich, als Densee geht. Der Kampf wird es real quick, und es ist SJP2 zu kommen.
Spielverlauf und Team-Eliminierungen
00:36:11
00:36:11 Das wird Legion Gaming geben, der erste Squad down, um, als Round 3 starten. Und in SJP2, wir schauen, um, für ihn. Aber ich glaube, dass wir eigentlich, kind of, mirroring Aurora a lot on that Roadstate. Hold on, wir haben noch eine andere Fight. Ich dachte, es wird ein bisschen später sein, aber hier wieder, auf der South Side, so viel zu passieren. Und wenn wir die Teams, die wir gesagt haben, die wir vorhin hatten, die Rotate in von der North Side.
00:36:39 Katlus haben eine große Vorteile, Kat haben eine große Vorteile, und sogar Kat und Navi haben sich festgelegt, dass sie sich gegen einen anderen anderen befinden. Und sie sind in eine wirklich fantastische Position für die Endgame, als es um uns, als mehr Teams weitergehen, weiterzugehen. Das ist jetzt, Jamersen, du wirklich musst, um die Gruppen zu nehmen, um die Gruppen zu erzeugen, um einen Moment zu erzeugen.
00:37:01 Yeah, and again, the battleground has shifted a little bit more now as the next ring pulls further and further to the northwest, closer to where Navi, Cat, and Shalala are. But slowly, slowly, we're seeing a lot of teams trying to skirt away to the eastern side of the map right now. And so while we have that huge pileup on the south side, it's slowly shifting to the southeast. We've got teams like VCGO and CyberCats, the very few teams there on the southwest. But here is Reply Totem.
00:37:30 Wir haben die Kraber, das ist was sie wirklich brauchen, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln, um sich zu entwickeln.
00:37:57 Now rotational tools are going to be really important at this stage in the game. They've nearly got Catalyst Ultimate up and very little cover to play. That should be enough for Totem. Unfortunately not enough for VCGO who go out. Na'vi collecting a few points and the big winners in the center of zone right now. It is very scary to be looking down the barrel of another fantastic game for Na'vi.
00:38:21 Ja, hier ist es Ronin, Shalala, Navi und Kat, mit so viel Platz in der Zone zu haben, dass sie einfach nur die Peripherien zu kontrollieren. So all die Teams, die in den City Hallen sind, werden sie einfach nur für Top 5 haben, am besten. Vielleicht, you know, sie werden Top 7 hier bekommen. Team Nemesis ist eine dieser Gruppe zu finden. Sie sind ein paar Teams, tatsächlich, das sind...
00:38:50 Wir haben ein deutlicher Weg und nicht so viel Resistanz als Cybercats. Wir haben einen kleinen Bogen über den Schallallahl. So es scheint, ein paar Teams haben sich in den Schallall zu machen durch das Schallall.
00:39:06 Und es hat sich wirklich zu sehen, dass all diese Teams sind, wir keine 3D-Party haben, wir können diese Option einfach nur in die Zone nutzen. Und ein bisschen patience von diesen Squaden, ein bisschen patience für ZipLine Mafia, lässt sie weg von Aurora, aber jetzt setzt sie gegen Totem. Das ist ein 3v3-3, relativ zu allen anderen. Unfortunately, wir sind noch nicht zu verlieren, Zero Tenacity zu verlieren, Team War zu schauen, die ZipLine Mafia wieder.
00:39:35 We know that Aurora and Reply Totem all in the area. Aurora going to shelter behind some temporary cover for right now. It will be enough to keep them alive. Unfortunately, these Stigger Bolts keep raining here. That is the second one they've had to deal with so far. Team Nemesis going to go down as Aurora fight for their lives. Oh boy, but it's Team War here.
00:39:56 Das ist so...
00:40:23 Unlucky, the Arc Snare doing it to him, and taking us down yet another team. Top 9 now in the Cybercats, one of the teams we highlighted at the start of the day, who were forced into Sparrow yesterday, have started with Sparrow this time around. Ranches picking that up, and already this turned into a very good game for Cybercats. Yesterday...
00:40:45 Some of their best placements outside of the first place was fourth with four kills. Today, they've already got four kills. Let's see if they can make it up to fourth. Na'Vi making their way towards that at the very same time. Fjarka with a nice nade for cover should be able to find a res pretty soon, but prioritizes finding some shields first, and it's going to get swung on by Henchmen. Doesn't even get to pull off the bat. It's all up to Uchako now. It's even around these corners. The Volt is going to...
00:41:09 Ja.
00:41:26 Es ist noch eine 3rd Party. Es ist Ronin, auf diese Seite zu kommen. Gehnext wird, und Na'vi ist nicht möglich. Aber kann sie Recover? Sie sehen, dass es ein Sliver von Angle ist, auf sie. Aber als sie versuchen, es sieht, Ronin wird...
00:41:44 Und dann können Sie sich auf den Schraub machen. Das all startete mit SJP-2 in Nabi's Position. Und jetzt Ronin ist es zu sehen, dass sie ihn auskennen. Und jetzt kommt er für den Ultimate, was ich glaube, 4th Party? Und jetzt sind sie in einer der strongesten Position left hier auf dem Map für das Final Circle. Ronin ist mit den Highest Grounds hier. Und...
00:42:07 We again still have that pile up of teams there on the south side so now Ronin are just reigning supreme up top, no longer wandering and have found shelter.
00:42:18 Und Ronin's Zone play has really been the differentiator today. The same thing cannot be said for the Cybercats, who have been playing a lot more aggressively, mirroring their success from yesterday. Cat and Navi both get taken down, the only two Zone teams that were alongside Ronin. Now, having Cybercats be swung on is just changing up this entire game. Ranches with the R99, doesn't get to land the cliff. And Shalala, without dropping a member, only having one shield broken.
00:42:47 Wir haben das ganze Spiel mit Cybercats in mehr als 10 Sekunden. Ja. Wir waren über Gunmeta. Die Dino wirklich in. Wir wollen das eine Broom jetzt. Weil es einfach alles aufzunehmen. Es ist einfach alles aufzunehmen. 10k. Wir haben das 3D-Member geteilt. SJP2 jetzt eliminiert. Wir sind jetzt zu den letzten vier Schwads.
00:43:13 Once again, Ronin just with a command position here on that high ground, really knowing to challenge them. We got Sha-La-La and Atlas basically stacked on top of each other and 10k is the other isolated fight. So if a fight breaks out between Sha-La-La and Atlas, Ronin might feel the urge if they spot out 10k to try and push them and take that fight. But again, Ronin really don't have to risk anything here. Or 10k though.
00:43:36 Sie sind eine der Schwestern, die in der Mitte der Zone ist. Sie können das erste Mal auswählen. Es sieht aus wie MGKlutch will, um das Angle auf 10k zu finden. Und er hat bereits den Knuck auf Postkill. Es ist eine komplette Lack-Awareness bei 10k. Sie haben gesagt, Ronin nicht mehr zu riskieren. Aber sie sind die kinder Team, die will, um den Win zu finden.
00:43:56 Picking up the kill on 10k now, Ronin have that easy rotate back to priority on zone, off the low ground, and it's Sha-La-La and Atlas that have to fight Sha-La-La, dropping immediately again, the Devo sweeping away players, sweeping away teams, as Atlas goes down, and it's Ronin's time to fight, take advantage of the lack of full health, as MG Clutch comes up on top with the Devo, starts sweeping, gets swept instead, it's just Natsuki left for Ronin, but Sha-La-La will click.
00:44:26 in Game 1. Oh, Roden, we're so close to getting that. They clear out 10K, try to take the fight up against Sha-Lala, and honestly, they didn't take too much damage on that entry, but somehow the Devos just were able to connect. Chaotic Much going down first was the surprising part about all of that, but somehow Sha-Lala were able to maintain and hold on throughout all that and take the win.
00:44:49 Yeah, I was very surprised that even with the really nice timing that Ronin had to come in and start the fight when Shalala were at a slight disadvantage, they weren't quite able to make it work, but that's E-District for you. That's the level of cover that you're able to play with, and I do think that Shalala did a really good job, even coming from the high ground, at finishing fights extraordinarily quickly. We saw it with Cybercats, and we saw it in that endgame.
00:45:15 Ja, und eigentlich, ich bin glücklich zu sehen, zu sehen, diese neuen Meta. Jetzt, es scheint, dass viele Teams wirklich favorieren das Devo, und du kannst einfach sehen, warum. Es ist schon lange, aber ich bin glücklich zu sehen, dass es wieder zurückkehlt. Ich denke, es gibt viele Taktik, und overall, die Teamfighter sind fantastisch, aber scha-la-la, dass ich all diese Fights auf der Seite, auf der Seite, auf der Seite, auf der Seite, auf der Seite, auf der Seite,
00:45:45 Bis zum nächsten Mal.
00:45:51 Ja, das ist ein guter Start für jemanden, aber Schalala ist wirklich gut. Jetzt, Ronin und Nothar Focus, mit der Zone-Player, waren sehr gut, und sie waren eine der Teams, die wir erwähnt haben. Ich werde ein bisschen nach unten schauen, bei ZeroTenacity, die in 15th ist. Remember, das ist eine Zone, die direkt auf sie auf sieben. Und so ist es ein schwerer Platz für eine Team wie ZeroTenacity zu starten, weil wir nur ein Game deep sind. Das ist ein Spiel.
00:46:16 Ja, und ich denke, dass ich eine Überraschungste Sache war, dass ich Aurora da nur able, um zwei Kilo zu bekommen und eine Placement Point zu bekommen, um...
00:46:27 I was surprised. I was expecting them to have a better rotation. We saw a lot of teams trying to make that same move going over to the northern side of the map and really tried to avoid that pileup on the south side. But it just seemed like somehow, even though there was all that space, all these lanes created and paths to get into the zone, that sometimes that creates a little bit more traffic. And we saw that big pileup for Aurora happening there on the south side.
00:46:54 Yeah, Southside was tough. I do want to applaud Kat. They do finish in eighth with only two points. A rough game for them. But I liked the way that they were playing Zone in similar ways to teams like Na'Vi and Ronin. So a lot of good news stories for teams, even if they didn't quite get their footing in this first game of V District. That's why we've got two more coming up right after the break.
00:47:24 Mein Name ist Martin. Ich gehe bei Pierre. Ich bin der Alliance Performance Manager. Mein Name ist Steves und ich bin der Coach für Navic. Ich bin Luke und ich bin der Coach für Gaming Gladiators.
00:47:41 Coaching in Alliance is a bit of a unique thing, where I work more so with the players, like, on a performance level, on a mental level. Like, meanwhile, Nott is the strategic guy. He does the numbers, he runs the stats. The role of a coach varies for myself. I'm mainly a strategic coach, trying to find strategies and tactics that help us be at the top. My role as a coach is...
00:48:05 Basically, I study other teams. I study my team in terms of the mistakes we do. And they have someone who does everything behind the scenes for them. All that I do, I believe that my players are able to. The thing is, they don't have the time. It allows simply for the players to have a much simpler life. And focus on the important part is shoot and win.
00:48:31 Was ist etwas, was die Leute nicht wissen können, dass wir machen, ist, dass ich sie sehr Fragen stellen. Ich helfe sie mit ihren Schwellen, damit sie besser werden als Menschen. Auf der Performance und der Mentalität, Akoch ist wichtig, und das ist einfach es. Verstehen Sie Ihren Spieler und verstehen sie auf einer menschlichen Ebene.
00:48:54 Es ist sehr wichtig, dass du die größte Person in der room bist. Du bist der Kalmest und du bist der Voice of Reason.
00:49:16 Ja, ich denke, dass die Trainer manchmal nicht genug ist. Aber es geht nicht um einen guten Trainer oder nicht. Sie müssen eine gute Team in generell. Ich denke, dass die Trainer nicht die richtige Rekognition bekommen. Aber gleichzeitig der Hauptfokus ist die Spieler, und das sollte immer wieder sein. Ich weiß, dass wir wirklich hart für die Trainer als Trainer gearbeitet haben, mehr als alles, ich wollte meine Spieler in der Spotlighten und für sie zu bezeichnen.
00:49:46 Wenn wir den EWC-Trofe haben, dein Herz droht zu deinem Feet und du bist da und du hast da nichts, aber die Proudness für dein Team. Es war die Proudest-dead-moment, die du schon mal erlebt hast. Wenn dein Team gewinnt wieder, das ist das, was du es für. Ich spiele einfach aus der Tür, die Emotionen sind in der ganzen Läden. Es war literally Monate von Hardware, ich bin so stolz.
00:50:13 und es war ein unique Moment, das ich nie vergessen werde.
00:50:46 Widerless determination, a lifetime of practice and a total lack of media training. Let's move it then. Find my target. Time to say ciao. Wise on you means less on me.
Vorstellung von Sparrow und Spielzusammenfassung
00:52:48
00:52:48 I'm super excited to introduce to you our newest Legend, Sparrow. It's been a while since we've had a Recon Legend and we wanted to bring one that offered a new, unique way of tracking enemies. He's also extremely agile, which allows him to excel at traversing the environment. Let's jump into his kit. For his passive, he has Double Jump. This allows him to have a second jump while he's in the air. He also has a unique ability called Wall Launch that allows him to quickly get to the top of walls by pressing jump while climbing.
00:53:16 For the Tactical, he has the Tracker Dart. This can be shot out on any surface and will reveal enemies that get within sight of it. Enemies that are revealed will have a trail that can be seen through walls and will also have a marker that shows the distance the enemy is away from you. For the Ultimate, we have the Stinger Bolt. This is a large arrow that will be shot out and planted into the ground. After a short charge up, it will pulse out blasts that will deal damage and slow any enemy within its range. His barrel will be unlocked.
00:53:45 Temporarily for free at the start of the season so everyone will get a chance to play him and he'll be yours to keep if you can beat a set of challenges. Jump in and try Sparrow in our newest season, Prodigy.
00:54:05 Welcome back, Legends. A little apology there for some of the delays that are abnormal for us. We're back on track and ready to go into Game 2 with E-District and some nice new Legends ban. I think we believe that will be altered this time around. So some new compositions, Dia, as we head into what is proving to be a map that always gives us a lot to talk about. An interesting map, a hard map, a new map. It's all the good things with E-District when our pros are on it.
00:54:35 Und als ich sehr liebte, Alter auf E-District bin, ich bin sehr froh, zu sehen, dass sie nicht mehr als E-District verändert werden, wenn Alter ist. All das Ganze ist völlig anders. Es ist wie wenn wir Valkyrie auf Stormpoint gesehen haben, sie war synonyms mit dem Map für so lange. Jetzt, in der Meta, wir haben nur gesagt, dass sie nicht mehr Valkyrie haben. Alles verändert. Ja, alles verändert. Ich meine, sie war so ein großer Teil von Stormpoint, es ist cool zu sehen.
00:55:03 Characters become iconic for what they can do based on a specific map. But now with Legend Bands, she can only do it for one game. It was Ronin at the end of it. That would be kind of taking it to most teams here. But Sha-La-La, they would come out on top and a big win for them. 24 points heading into game two. This has got to give them a lot of confidence moving forward and a good vote of confidence for TylerFPS on the squad now with Case Winning.
00:55:27 And most of Tyler's work seems to be done in the first couple of seconds of this fight, where he's able to ultimately wipe out Atlas immediately. But think of how much that matters, because he's the only one that takes damage during that entire exchange, leaving his two full health teammates to defend against Ronin. And ultimately, by the end of the game, Tyler's still up to take Ronin down.
00:55:53 Huge stuff from Shalala. Just makes you want to sing saying it. I got to say, I don't know if this name's going to last, but if it does, I'll be okay with that. Alter band from our skirmisher class who will fill in the ranks. May see a little bit more Sparrow. Some teams were dropping with Crypto, and we didn't get to see it before, but let's take a look at the POI drops, Dia, and where these teams are dropping from, how that played out as well, giving Ronan and Shalala access to that end zone.
00:56:22 Yeah, a lot of people with, I'd say a lot of space, just given the teams that we've got. I will say, you know, south side of the map does tend to get a little bit more crowded. Team like Atlas, for example.
00:56:35 Das ist auch ein paar Worte zu nehmen.
00:56:59 Ich würde sagen, dass sie ihren Willen in viel mehr E-District-Games sind. Aurora, auf der anderen Seite ist ein bisschen schwieriger, als auf der westen Seite geht es nicht so viel Platz, und für ein Team, dass sie für die E-District-Games sind, dass sie nicht so viel Loot auf dem Weg haben. Das ist ein bisschen schwierig für ihre Playstyle.
00:57:19 We'll see if Shalala can bounce back for two games in a row. And Kickstart, what would certainly be looking like a top five finish for them in Match Day 5 here in EMEA. Or if someone else will have an answer. We tune in to Tyler on the Ballistic, another character that's been so fun to watch and see develop as often now characters do. Not really having Shine early, but a few changes, a couple of adjustments. We've seen it for...
Ballistic's Impact and Team Strategies
00:57:46
00:57:46 Rampart, we've seen it now for Ballistic in a big way, and D had certainly had an impact, teams using that ultimate to essentially bring a torrent of damage that is just never ending. And it's completely changed since the introduction of Legend Bands as well, how Ballistic is used, because when we first started seeing Legend Bands in the ALGS and even beyond, Ballistic was being used as a...
00:58:12 Filled Legend. Well, we've gotten rid of one thing that I like to play. I don't really have something else, so I'm going to pick Ballistic and the whole team's just going to be better for it. Now, that's not the case anymore. People have really, because of having to play with the Legend so much, realized, hey, with a few buffs, this guy's actually kind of ridiculous. There are a lot of angles that you can take that make it almost impossible for people to fire back at you. Add to that the fact that you get
00:58:39 Free movement speed, free ammunition. It's pretty insane, Randy. Yeah, it's just one of those things that it's just good stuff on good stuff on good stuff. Add enough good stuff, well, it starts to be pretty dang great. I love the Tempest element, too, and many people showing that they're just going to extend the lifetime on that. You get a knock, it extends a lifetime as well. And we'll see Ballistic a lot more featured throughout this day as the bans continue. But Zipline Mafia, they put that first pick down to get to Shipyard.
00:59:08 Well, wouldn't you know, it seems like that zone seems to be pulling that way. So a team using that first pick on E-District trying to make sure they can be in a good spot. They certainly feel that they're in a good spot here. Reply Totem in mind already moving in as well to try to join them down in the south.
00:59:22 Yeah, you can tell that Zipline Mafia already have a good idea of where the zone is going as well, just given how they've positioned themselves up against the corner of the map. Reply Totem are gonna fill in, but these two teams don't really have to fight each other for the initial...
00:59:38 Long time since we've been talking about
01:00:07 One of the most accomplished members of the ALGS Tenemiah, that's of course Kashira, who with this new squad on 10K trying to reassert himself back into a position that he found himself in. A fight away against that former version of TSM reps, Al and Verhulst, from becoming a champion over in London. And to get back there, now following along with Atlas, Black Venom with a couple of shots on the scout.
01:00:34 Warting away, trying to get away himself. The wall bounce is not going to be enough. He will fall. And that spells trouble. Tryhardthor, just trying to get out of there. Immediate catwall. I might save you. At this point, it's difficult to tell. Nate is just unchallengeable with...
01:00:53 Love the way that engagement went. It just showcased everything about why Ballistic.
01:01:16 So effective, you already have two characters now in this meta that can keep pace with nearly anyone and that's Ash and actually it's Sparrow, though we're seeing him only used by Cybercats. I'm sure that will extend and increase a little bit later as picks become more or less available. But that Ballistic Tempest, when you are running at full speed, I mean, you've got to have a Tempest, otherwise they're going to catch up to you. And that is a problem here and changes the way you can kind of...
01:01:41 Think about interactions. You can't say, you know what, let's just see if we can get around this corner and then stabilize. No, they're coming around the corner. There's no time to stabilize. So we actually have to fight this. Otherwise, we're just kind of signing ourselves over. Really seeing the devotion put in a lot of work with the Tempest as well. The fact that you get a turbocharged gun already, you know, at the start of the season and even now.
01:02:04 Ich war ein viel Loba, weil ich dachte, jetzt habe ich die Turbocharged Devotion. Ich möchte das online sein können. Sehr smart.
01:02:13 You know, I thought so, and then I was playing with Zepra for a little while, and he was like, you know, you can just run Ballistic, right? And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I hadn't thought about that. The other benefit, right? I mean, just having that fully leveled up weapon, it saves you the trip for the Devotion. I know many people watching at home, and they like a little bit of the looting aspect of the BR. It's sometimes fun to find that purple barrel, but these pros, they don't want to have the hesitation, throw that in there, the Rampage, also maybe the second, maybe the first.
01:02:41 Outside of the Devotion, who's challenging it now. And just destroying those doors, being so effective and so damaging already with the Thermite essentially amped up the second that you bring it out in the old... Yeah, Ballistic is good. As we head over to Zipline Mafia, just still holding down this zone. Dia, and feeling pretty confident right now with their ability to hold it. Yeah, they've taken the least interactive position possible. Back of the ring, nobody wants to talk to them. And Zipline Mafia...
Aggressive Spielweise und Zonen-Kontrolle
01:03:09
01:03:09 ...do benefit in this way, as long as they're able to keep control of who gets to approach them. But as soon as there's a team within 10 meters of Zipline Mafia, it becomes suddenly very difficult to defend this position. Almost as difficult as defending Nemesis' position, as there are double defensive ults out, and SJP2 are getting aggressive once again. Goes into the Catalyst wall, doesn't care about it. Probably has the Tempest ready to go, so we're gonna get that movement speed back. It's just about being able to find a target through black and white. Densei feeling pretty confident.
01:03:38 Aber er kann das nach dem Tracking, wie wir sehen, mit diesen Energie Weapons. Nemesis, als auch, wird er von oben gespielt. Er ist mit Zuni und Remix Powers auf der run. SJP-2 still holding down das Outside und applying das Pressure mit der Fuse-Ash-Ballistik Kombination, das wirklich hat eine Menge Druck auf Teams in diesem Lobby. Und Ash.
01:04:02 Ja, und du hast...
01:04:29 Die Dichotomy des Dichotomy des Dichotomy des Dichotomy des Dichotomy des Dichotomy des Dichotomy des Dichotomy des Dichotomy des Dichotomy.
01:04:53 We're not as positioned to apply that pressure as some of the other squads that we're looking at right here with SJP2. Not really taking the time to look for the ring. Instead, just looking for teams. And I don't see Taxon getting away from this one. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry it had to end this way. SJP2 pick up another point, another kill.
01:05:14 Those zwei Dinge werden die gleiche für sie, und wir werden uns ein bisschen closer zu sehen, wo wir die Placement Points bekommen haben, aber nicht so lange, bis sie werden in die Zone gehen. Und ich expect SJP2 wird in ein viel besserer Weg sein, als die Leute in der Early-Rotaten werden, denn sie werden gefordert nach dem Norden gehen. Still Rat. Trying to stay alive. SJP2, though... Think about this, we talked about the Impact!
01:05:39 Ich bin hier für ein lange Zeit und das ist was ich tun. Und er nimmt den S.J.P. 2, der andere ist. Sie gehen Aggressiv zu Aggression. Und Kazak und X.Q. werden es zusammen trainiert. Und diese zwei Teams denken, vielleicht ist es besser zu backen für dieses Engagement für jetzt.
01:06:03 Ich kann mich aber auch nicht empfehlen, dass du eine Schwung mit deinem Fullface in eine Devotion hast und es geht nicht gut für dich, auch wenn du in Aurora bist. Das ist sehr interessant, denn Aurora hat entschieden, dass sie zurück in die Zone sind. Es gibt keine Devo hier, nur Densee. Und das ist einfach. Die SJP2 geteilt, sie versuchen, den Sneaky Revive zu gehen, aber sie wollen nicht. Unfortunate, da. Das Team...
01:06:28 kind of demonstrating what it looks like right now in E-District for most of the squads sitting outside the zone. It's a whole different conversation on the other side where teams are kind of tactically trying to figure out how are we going to get into this and where are we going to play because they have to cross this huge bridge in between Draft Point and Shipyard in order to get there. So it's not very easy in terms of movement. Other teams just saying we'll get there when we get there. We've got a Tempest. We can run fast. We can Ashport. We can Ash.
01:06:54 Schump, and we'll be fine. Two different ideas coming together. We'll see if Aurora is able to take the win off of that. Now following along, Nadis Vincere. They've already lost to Shaco. Slab jumping in with a Devotion on Nasky, and Slab is going to shut it down, but Hoodie takes him down right after that. Hoodie actually having cleaned up two from Navi right now. Great defensive play out of this guy.
01:07:18 Ends up stabilizing for the entire roster and forcing Navi into a retreat. The Arkham may be able to grab these banners. In fact, you'd hope with the Crypto Drone that he's able to do just that. But even then, this drone being shot could cause a problem. Gets both of them! That's... I...
01:07:34 I know it's not hype to cast a Cryptotrone, but that's a hero play from Navi. I mean, it sounded hype to me. I don't know. That sounded pretty cool. I got excited. Getting your team back alive is going to be huge. And can you get the revive as well? Not as Finseer. Ronan sharing that top spot. Team Nemesis just making it out of zone. See Mind, whether it's taking a Wraith Portal. Looks like potentially a Wraith Portal there near VCGO. So a fight will be taken down.
01:08:01 In just a moment, SJP2 Atlas, the only two teams eliminated. We've got an 18-team lobby, and now it's down to 16 as Ring 3 begins to move. Dia, taking a look at this zipline, I mean, they're still in Shipyard, so they're just deciding they're going to wait for this.
01:08:19 Ja, ich denke, es ist halbwegs zwischen dem Warten zu warten und nicht zu haben, weil es so viele Teams sind, die leider sind, die leider sind. In fact, wir sehen das passieren jetzt zu Team Mind. Go Next, nehmen sie aus, aber es ist nicht nur Go Next. Es gibt viele Teams, die zusammenarbeiten, um das eine miserable Erfahrung zu machen. Die ZipLine Mafia, aber versucht sie zu machen.
01:08:45 Und es geht ihnen ein bisschen zu weit in die Mitte der Zone. Sie versuchen zu passen von Traffic, und Traffic wird wiederholt werden. Und es ist einfach... Sie sehen es da. Ich meine, es gibt keine Runden mehr. Wir hatten Metas, wo man definitiv hat eine Charakter, ob es ein Watssinn, ein Newcastle, ein Catalyst, und jemand kann wegnehmen. Es ist nicht passiert hier. Es ist zu viel Speed. Es ist zu viel Pressure.
01:09:11 Und Gonek sind in ein ziemlich guter Platz. Sie haben einen kleinen Korridor für sie selbst. Die Team mit einem jeweiligen Threats zu treffen, mit einem Nemesis P2020 in hand. Und ein Hash-Portal, in case Henchmann ist nicht so gut, was er sieht. Moving over, Legion Gaming, mit Devotions. Miss Cam ist nicht zu viele Schmerzen, es gibt die Pressure alive. 15 Quads remaining. Kinn versucht zu zurück in die Action für Legion. Oh, es ist über. Und das wird ein Wettbewerb.
01:09:38 You see a white knockdown shield and you have a devotion, it's like it's not even there. Huge stuff here from Aurora to try to at least stay alive. It's excuse, it's the new member of the squad. The partnership between Night Impulse and Oirein is gone. Daszak waiting to get recovered. It's excuse, this young man.
01:10:01 Er ist der Ultimate Fragger. Was kann er von einem Tactical Position machen, wenn er nicht viel zu tun hat? Und Cybercat wird auch in den Feed gehen. Er kann sich auch aufhören, wenn er ein Miracle geht. Devo v. Devo.
01:10:14 Es wird Team War kommen, aufzunehmen, aufzunehmen, und wie wir sagen, Zero Tenacity kommen, und die vierte Partei zu der Kampf. Wir gehen uns zu zehn Squads jetzt, und Zero Tenacity sind die großen Winters auf der Seite des Zones, zu vollständigen, bevor wir in den SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOUTH-SOU
01:10:43 Absolutely huge for them, giving another chance at life to a squad that had otherwise made a questionable rotate into the open. But you know, it feels like they've been in that spot for so long, they've invested so much, it's nice to at least see if they have a chance to pull it off. But it's going to be a lot of work because the two teams competing for the top spot right now, Ronin and Shalala, are still alive and they are on the north side. Ronin taking a peek over to their west.
Taktische Entscheidungen und Team-Dynamiken im späteren Spielverlauf
01:11:10
01:11:10 They know that VCGO is nearby. Will this engagement begin? VCGO trying to step forward and apply a little pressure. Forces Ronan back and go next still on this freeway. Kind of just holding this ramp. The team to focus on right now for me has to be Shalala. After their win in game number one, they're positioned dead center of this zone on high ground above everyone. Go next.
01:11:36 Reign and Downfire are going to be in the exact same position. And it is these two teams with the highest chance to win the game, Reign Day. Henchman is going to give up the high ground for now to try and finish off the squad. I think he'll be able to do so. P2020 is still incredibly strong. Zero Tenacity will go down. No ult up for Henchman to regain height with the squad. So we'll have to wait a little while, be a little bit more patient.
01:11:59 But keep your eyes on GoNext, keep your eyes on Sha-La-La, because this bridge is incredibly powerful if you're able to hold onto it. Still on the bridge, asserting themselves and a little bit of patience as well. Did not want to commit past the Catalyst Qs. Absolutely knew that there was an easy finish in there, but did not want to risk it in order to do it. Grabbed some shield batteries, a swap, and some medkits as well. Thanks to our lovely new Observer.
01:12:26 Visuals there show how he resets. We follow along over into this building. 10K actually been sitting really well in this building. So now Team Nemesis joins them. This is maybe going to be one of the spots you'd love to be in. But now Shalala getting in and setting up with Watson. It's going to be hard to get them out as Ronan are in the middle of an engagement. Boy, that is just what the Devotion does best, isn't it?
01:12:49 Apparently these knockdown shields it's just like they hardly exist you know I actually I understand I've been there because I do the same thing when I'm playing rampart with Sheila I see a knockdown shield and I know it's gone Ronin unfortunately
01:13:05 Ja, MG Clutch, alles geht gut für sie, UNLESS THEY LOSE ONE!
01:13:34 37 seconds still on that Tempest. And so the only reason they would not be in a great position here is if they could not get MG Clutch back up. But it looks like at least he will be revived. The shield swap early. Natsuki taking some damage from the ring. Can they get out of his ass portal? They got it. But they're still getting pressure. That's a triple take that takes him down. Natsuki is not going to be able to survive this one. Sha-La-La in shambles on the high ground. They and Ronin right next to each other. MG Clutch and Hoodie.
01:14:04 They have to face off against the last member of Shalala as Navi go down and you'll never guess who's inherited the high ground, who's won the bridge. It's VCGO, who up on height now get to wait for almost every other team to fight. With Ronin gone, it's go next and Team Nemesis that are still in the game in the same building as each other. VCGO are sitting on the bridge, just waiting for teams to start walking out. Conversation with VCGO. I mean, they're going to have to move a little bit.
01:14:33 Probably before Team Nemesis go next, just space-wise, but they've got so much space to cover. Team Nemesis go next may end up looking to try to apply some pressure on the teams above or below them, but plenty of deterrence for that. The Catalyst door at the top, high ground as well for Nemesis. ECGO, what's their game plan to make it in or make it around, in other words, as they take the zip line and try to reposition, and I like this call from them.
01:14:58 Gives them way more time and a better angle to pressure Nemesis and force that fight between Go Next and them. It is a little bit risky to take the south side of the zone right now because you're putting yourself next to other teams. I'd say in a pushable position. Let's say Go Next suddenly leaves the building with an Ashport, which is very likely. All of a sudden you gotta fight Team Nemesis. The team that stays behind has to be VCGO's business. And so your win condition becomes keep everyone inside the building. Make no other pass.
01:15:25 Das ist safe, VCGO. Sie müssen sie aktiv spielen hier. Sie wollen sie agressivieren. Sie sehen sie auf Team Nemesis, die auf dem Ruf sind, und pressen sie zu gehen, um sie zu nehmen. Ja, die Frage hier ist, wer wird das ihre Geschichte machen? Wir haben eine Team unten, die nicht aufzunehmen und kämpft Nemesis. Nemesis weiß, dass sie ein Team unten und zu der anderen Seite sind.
01:15:49 So is it Nemesis who makes the play here? Let's go next, decide, hey, they're not expecting us to move, so let's move instead. Let's Ashport, let's hold that area on the south side that VCGO just gave up. We'll see here, Kazuni and Team Nemesis certainly feel very, very focused on what VCGO might do. That could be their win condition. Get them out and we'll deal with low ground. And certainly seems to work, but there's the Ashport. And will they be able to stabilize?
01:16:13 Okay, so Team Nemesis, they kind of hold the game in their hands right now. They considered going down to the low ground where VCGO are, but because they forced VCGO to Ashport themselves, now it's a war of attrition and now Team Nemesis have a more difficult time moving. Do they choose to Ashport and play for second because somebody's going to have to make this decision at some point?
01:16:31 Katalist wall going down in the low ground, Team Nemesis play quiet, they play small, they pray that this game is going their way, but they're getting nades thrown at them, and Zuni has to pull the Panic Ash portal out of nowhere, ends up dipping back to try and hide from Go Next. Looks like it's working for now, Go Next, don't actually know this is going down, they've pushed these two teams into each other.
01:16:50 Will it end up working out for them? Cowboy's gonna go down soon. Kinda goes down first, however. And it's VCGO from the low ground who are still firing back up. Nice trait from Henchman. Manages to take down one team nemesis. Fall Henchman goes out into the open. And it is into the sky, into the zone that lets VCGO avoid all the fights and take the win. VCGO with the tactical decision to skirt to the side a little bit.
01:17:17 And see if they can just give themselves a better chance at a win. Well, no chance. It's a guarantee. They got the dub VCGO with a nice demonstration of how to take an end zone in E-District. That is a tough game to watch go by you as Nemesis as well. We saw the pressure that Nemesis was outputting. VCGO put themselves in an extremely sticky spot where they could have given up the one spot they ended up taking. And then...
01:17:45 Nobody else takes it. Team Nemesis is sitting there going, we output all this pressure. Oh, we lost the spot we wanted. But you know what I think is interesting is the timing of that as we take a look at the standings from these last results, excuse me, from these last matches. And this current match here, VCGO will add 20 to their overall tally. Go next with 19. Team Nemesis as well. Ronan, inshallah, staying with the pressure will probably...
01:18:12 Keep them up there in the top 1, 2, or 3 positions when we take a look at that. Nothing for Atlas or Mind, but Team War, even though they got 11, still able to capture 5 points with 4 kills. But it brings me, I mean, Dia, to that question. We saw hesitation from Nemesis, but you can be hesitant when you're in a position that kind of, for all intents and purposes, just feels like the strongest position. You're high ground, there's a team well below you, there's a team far to the side. You have to almost apply the pressure yourself to move.
01:18:40 Ich will sagen, wenn ich über die Pressure-Points denke, wo man die Leverage verwendet hat, Gonext wirklich stand out für mich für das ganze Zeit. Sie sind fast die gleichen Composition als alle anderen.
01:19:04 Das war's. Das war's. Das war's.
01:19:28 Love the stats here from Nono, Kiner, obviously just contributing so much to this squad in terms of damage, grabbing kills as well. But you can see that this is just an end zone with three teams that performed well to get here. There was no flukes, there wasn't any teams kind of sitting back and biding their time. So this is great to showcase that while it may still be the Shalapa and Ronin show for now, VCGO, go next. SJP2 and Nemesis are...
01:19:56 Ready and in the hunt. Shalala. Dia, Zill at the top and only by three points here with Ronan close behind. And I'm going to give a little more credit to BCGO here as well.
01:20:06 It's VCGO that took the spot of Shalala, that took the spot of Na'Vi. They not only found a win, but they found it by taking out some of the most powerful teams that had presented themselves in the lobby, not just in Game 1, but Game 2 as well, in the ALGS Pro League here in EMEA. If you're taking out titans like that to then find yourself a win, you're looking pretty good for today.
01:20:27 I loved the offense that they were able to put together there with the Ultimates. The Mortar Flare and the Crypto EMP that totally threw off Team Nemesis. VCGO has a squad that if they want to do that again, they'll be able to. But they won't have the Ashport because she's banned. Game 3 is going to be different. And our last one on E-District. We'll see how these teams adapt right after this.
Vorstellung von Sparrow und strategische Anpassungen
01:20:58
01:20:58 Hi everyone, I'm super excited to introduce to you our newest legend, Sparrow. It's been a while since we've had a Recon Legend and we wanted to bring one that offered a new unique way of tracking enemies. He's also extremely agile, which allows him to excel at traversing the environment. Let's jump into his kit. For his passive, he has Double Jump. This allows him to have a second jump while he's in the air. He also has a unique ability called Wall Launch that allows him to quickly get to the top of walls by pressing jump while climbing.
01:21:26 Für den Tactical, er hat den Tracker Dart. Dies kann auf jeden Fall beheben, und wird auf jeden Fall beheben. Die Beheben haben einen Trailer, die durch die Wallen sehen kann, und auch ein Marker, das zeigt die Distanz der Angelegenheit. Für den Ultimate, er hat den Stinger Bolt. Dies ist eine große Arrow, die wird auf den Boden beheben und auf den Boden beheben. Nach einer Shorten Charge-Up, er wird ein Blast aus, das erheben wird, und die Angelegenheit in die Angelegenheit verheben.
01:21:53 Sparrow will be unlocked temporarily for free at the start of the season so everyone will get a chance to play him and he'll be yours to keep if you can beat a set of challenges. Jump in and try Sparrow in our newest season, Prodigy.
01:22:27 Sony Inzone, the official monitor of the Apex Legends Global Series.
01:22:44 Welcome back, folks, to our third round of E-District, here in Day 5 in the EMEA ALGS. Jamerson, what an exciting game we had in Game 2. Totally different area of the map, totally different compositions without the altar as well, and that endgame got a little chaotic. Yeah, it was very interesting to see, like, the breakdown of that. We saw a hard pull down to the south. Everyone thought it was going to pull further south. We saw a lot of teams taking early positions and going really deep into the pocket.
01:23:10 Leaving a lot of the center zone when we got to Shipyard, that ping pong pull away from that south zone really freed up a lot of center zone positions, particularly that building that Nemesis and Go Next were able to play on. So we're seeing our team still getting used to the ring pulls here, but I do want to talk about what VCGO were able to do in this.
01:23:32 Now, this starts off with that EMP onto Nemesis, onto the high ground, but it was timed perfectly with the Fuse Nades coming in, and they almost got the Air Burst Nade. They almost got the Full Team Wipe on them, but the Motherload really allowed them to control along the space here and go next. Of course, we're just trying to bide their time at the bottom of that building. It was really about who was going to blink first, right, and take that center zone, and I think Nemesis just kind of had the wrong read on it. They had the Newcastle wall. They could have taken that position early on and then taken, of course,
01:24:02 Ich glaube, es war eine neue Kastel-Wall, aber es war ein ganzes Spiel für sie. Unfortunately, VCGO, sie waren aus der Position. Wir sahen, ich glaube, es war Nemesis Up-Topp, wirklich auf die Pressure auf sie. Und dann haben sie die W-Win, sozusagen, in das Regarde. Jetzt, of course, mit unseren Legend-Banz, es wird Ash gehen hier nach Game 2.
01:24:26 You know, I am really curious if we had seen this play out for Nemesis, if they had used the Newcastle wall, if they had made it all the way through the Ashport, because that was definitely not where they wanted to go with the Ashport off the roof, what that game looks like for them. I don't think it changes a lot. I still think that VCGO find the win, but...
01:24:46 Is it all about who makes it down to the low ground first? It'll be a question that echoes in my mind in a lot of these teams' minds as we continue trying to solve what an E-District endgame, what an E-District midgame looks like, especially as the legend bans keep piling in. Now, if you want to get from one place to another safely and vulnerably, your last character that can jump into the void, the last legend available that can do that, is Wraith. I wonder if we'll see a lot of Wraith this game or no.
01:25:14 We'll see if Wraith gets picked up here. Might be something that we hold on to once we move on to Broken Moon instead. But VCGO, we'll see if they can continue on and carry this momentum for game number three. But again, that was just a lot of smart moves coming out from them. Gotta give them the credit that it's due because honestly, they were under a lot of pressure in that endgame. Typically, of course...
01:25:39 With a zone like that, you would see a few more teams alive, but we had a lot of scrapping on the outskirts, of course, with teams like Aurora, SJP2, really being the catalyst for a lot of the fights on the edges. And so there was a lot more space for VCGL to play around with that. They were cognizant of it. They were able to take that into consideration. We were wondering what some of the picks were going to be. It looks like we are getting a lot more Cryptos coming in. We are already seeing Bangalore getting picked up.
01:26:08 A smattering of Wraith here is actually split between Wraith and Bangalore.
01:26:15 Ja, das ist viel mehr ausgesucht als in den vergangenen Spielen. Ich denke Ballistik hat die Charts mit nur neigen Picks gemacht, also nur halb des Teams zu wählen. Und zwar, er ist die Best-Picked-Legend. Wir haben S.J.P. 2, und der Aggressiv-Gameplay von der letzten Runde. Das war wirklich die Catalyste für sie. Und das ist bereits auf zu einem Schwerer start, denn Katz hat sich auf was S.J.P. 2 in der letzten Runde zu tun, und sie hat sie den Aggressiv-
01:26:45 Instead, making an early rotate over towards Stadium and evicting the entirety of SJP2. Yeah, this is great for Kat. Getting that early elimination and, of course, trying to whittle down the traffic that's going to happen when we have another Northwest pulled.
01:27:03 This time centering a little bit more on City Hall. But you can see that teams are already there in position for it. Zero Tenacity, Sha-La-La taking the exact same spot. We'll see if Na'Vi want to take the same building that they did in match number one. But their big, big thing is going to be, of course, trying to keep the outskirts cleared. They allowed, I believe, SJB2 to creep up on them on that.
01:27:30 Northeast side with, I believe it was Ronin who crept their way somehow over to that Eastern edge, even though they start off there on the Western side. So for Na'Vi, this is basically a chance for them to convert once again on game number one, fix their mistakes from game number one, and then have a better foot going into Broken Moon, which was their better performance last time here in A versus C.
01:27:58 Really interesting to see Na'vi taking that pressure that you mentioned is applied to them, the question about what they can do, now they've got a very similar zone, and have a totally different play on it. They rotate out, away from the second zone, and straight into Team War at Galleria, picking an early fight. Na'vi, maybe with their new third, trying to...
01:28:19 Get some chemistry going in the early stages of the round with some 3v3s and teamfight wins to secure points. And with Navi, when we were on Broken Moon, that started off the first half of... I believe it was match day two? Yep.
01:28:37 They were able to secure themselves 61 points off of Broken Moon, but we know that they ended up with a hundred some odd points, I believe, over the course of the day. So they have a lot of catching up to do, basically, if they want to try and have that repeat performance right now with only 10 points. Whilst it's still great to be able to average five points across two games.
01:29:00 A team like Na'vi is expecting a lot more than that. So hopefully, you know, they will be able to basically correct what happened in game number one, have a better read basically overall on the lobby. And I'm thinking this might just be early aggression for them. They do have a lot of ground to make up for. If they want to have a 20 point game, they need to have additional kills behind them. So they need to find these round one, round two fights.
01:29:25 And despite the fact that a team with lesser loot can beat a team with greater, Apex Legends is still a very momentum-based game, and being able to find a few early teamfight wins can do more than just get you the extra evo, get you the extra perks, because when it comes down to fighting a team that is even, even in terms of the actual in-game ability,
01:29:49 When you've been warm, when you've been staying aggressive the whole game, when you've been taking angles and getting used to how much space you can control, you naturally are going to have an advantage over the other teams in the lobby that are a little bit more stagnant. Ronin, notably in game number one, did a good job of playing their zone, playing their area, and when it got down to it in the endgame, they took good space and still got shut down by a squad that was a little bit more aggressive on the way in.
01:30:16 Ja, ich denke für Roden, dass sie noch eine fantastische Zeit haben. 30 Punkte, um, natürlich, nach zwei Spielern. Fantastisch. Ich denke, eine Sache, dass sie noch immer noch, dass das Identität ist, wie die IGL ist, und wann man kann über das Rolle auf bestimmten Punkt, richtig? Natürlich, Natsuki, dass sie da sein. Er hat sich IGL für die ganze Zeit, um, zu...
01:30:44 Let's someone else take the reigns is gonna be different but you can hear in his voice a lot of times at the calm that he still has that
01:30:51 Das war Team War, das ist ein Team
01:31:17 We're still trying to see where they land. I think Arctic was, of course, a huge pickup for them. Right now, the results haven't shown it quite yet, but it's still only game number three.
01:31:31 Das bedeutet, dass du Zeit hast, um es zu starten, um es zu starten, um, wenn wir zu Broken Moon gehen, wenn wir sehr unterschiedlich sind, um E-District, wo E-District ist, all die Leute, die in die Gebäude, all die Pläne, die in die Bühne sind, und Broken Moon, die Spiel aufbauen.
01:31:50 Aurora could be the very beneficiary of that as they've been trying to play around the edge so far this game. Haven't managed to crack top 10 though. Despite their slightly better game number two, game one was disastrous for Aurora. For Aurora right now, I think it's kind of business as usual. Try to get your evos up. Try to get early position and camp a lot of the mythic bins if you can. Try to get the red armors. Try to get the gold helmets and stuff. And then have that huge, huge...
01:32:19 Und jetzt haben wir die Ballistik, so...
01:32:47 Zip-Line Mafia, got the A.
01:33:16 Opportunity to get aggressive right now they do evac into City Hall cat gonna come up right behind them know that that's happened and I'm also Really taking note of the fact that Navi despite their early negative rotate away from the zone Grab the next beacon scan and go right back into dead center So the adjustment from game one I thought at the start of the game was gonna be let's get a little more aggressive
01:33:40 Und es ist wirklich so, dass wir eine bessere Zone-Read haben. Wir müssen noch mehr Informationen bevor wir zu einem Spot kommen. Ich glaube, ein Problem ist, dass nicht das Alter nach dem Game 1-Ban ist. Das bedeutet, dass es Zone 3, Zone 4-Economy ist.
01:33:54 Es ist wirklich gut, in diesem regard, besonders wenn es viele Pocken gibt. So, sie wollen ein bisschen stärker sein, ich denke, auf das Zone-3-Hold, besonders mit wie gut sie sind, dass sie in den Zonen-Zonen kommen und in den Center-Zonen-Zonen sind. Aber es ist immer noch so, dass...
01:34:11 mit der negative Rotate, dass sie in so eine prime Position waren. So viele Teams sind still kind of middlingen über da, auf der South-Side. Es scheint, viele Teams sind sehr gefährdet hier, auf der Rotates. Sie sind nicht auf die Risiken, und ich bin nicht auf die Frage, aber das geht zurück zu einer Sache, Haukes war jetzt in der EMEA-Region, dass viele Teams sind sehr gefährdet. Wir sind nicht die gleichen Regression, und das ist eine Sache, die sie in den ALGS-Oper.
01:34:40 Das war durch die Überraschung durch alle Städte des Spiels, bis unsere Match Point Finals.
01:34:49 This is where we may have the teams, like Atlas, actually, that get a little bit more aggressive, got a little bit more aggressive, I should say, in Challenger Circuit, really be able to come out on top. We saw SJP2 doing the exact same thing last game, and we're seeing Ronin do it now. Get aggressive, push the advantage when you know you have it. And although you've lost MG Clutch, Nuski knows that he's bought plenty of space and plenty of time with the expenditure of his Fuse cooldowns. I think we'll be getting a res right here, and it is all about getting your...
01:35:19 ein bisschen mehr Platz zwischen dir und anderen. Und das wird nicht wirklich gut sein. Wobei für Atlas, die ich vorhin schon erwähnt habe, haben sich zwischen zwei Gruppen gezwungen. Und mit Trihard-Thor down, sie könnten sich pushen. Ja, das Aversion zu Risk, von so vielen unserer Teams, ist ein viel Platz für unsere Gruppen, die sich auf die Zone zu spielen. So für Ronin, Zero Tenacity, Sha-La-La. Für Ronin, zu können, uh, plug in MG-Clutch.
01:35:47 Das ist nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so, dass es nicht so.
01:36:07 I'm amazed that we're able to survive that long on Atlas, given the amount of focus that was thrown at them. SJP2 fully stabilized, like we talked about earlier. Being able to play in this corner. They do have some company. Shrek's right below them, but that's going to be unspotted.
01:36:24 He is currently invisible, and I don't think he has any plans of changing that. SJP2's position instead is going to be used to harass other squads. Gatekeep other teams, and Trix is trying to play the survival game. Make it up to 15th. Grab yourself a few more placement points. Denze, playing for space right now, could take down Trihardthor in an instant. Nice swing through the Catalyst wall. Black Venom now in trouble. We're going to see SJP2 claim another two kills. They have a fairly isolated fight, but they have to be careful. They know that Ronin are in the area.
01:36:53 Und so, der Timing von der Spite hat sich fast. Du musst du aus dem, oder? Du kannst die Third Party jetzt kommen, und sie starten zurück. Es scheint, mit MG Clutch zu kommen, dass sie nicht die gleiche Aggression hatten. Sie mussten warten, dass sie nicht die gleiche Aggression hatten. Sie mussten warten, um ihn zu werden. Und so, das war die Sjp2 für die Sjp2. Wir sehen, wie gut MG Clutch hat.
01:37:17 Wir haben das erste Frag, besonders in den 3rd Parten. Und so bei SJP2 sind wir sehr glücklich, um zu swerven und nicht zu bekommen, die vollen Druck von Team Ronin zu bekommen.
01:37:32 Kearney Skullpiercer 30-30. Playing it safe right now as Repliedtotem. Do not have that luxury. Kesh swings in with the Devotion. Almost takes down one, but unfortunately not going to be able to finish the job. Repliedtotem go down. Legion Gaming. Seems like they've got the space to recover. No other squad's moving up on them right now. Plenty of shield swaps available. We'll have Legion right back in the game and three points the richer as the zone continues to move towards the northwestern side of the zone.
01:38:00 Und wer ist da? Well, nicht zu weit entfernt von Center Zone ist es Navi, zu spielen, glaube ich, das gleiche building sie waren in Game 1. Ronin ist noch auf der Nordseite. Wir sehen, wie sie können es aus. Zero Tenacity sind da. Aber jetzt ist Cybercats, in der Flucht auf der Südwestseite. Looking für die 3D-Parte. Possibly in Engagement zwischen VCGO und Schalala. Aber es ist ZipLine Mafia zu gehen, bevor wir das 15-team marken.
01:38:28 Cybercats versuchen, auf die High-Ground auf die VCGO zu beurteilen, auf die Motherlode zu beurteilen. Wir sind wieder zurückgekehrt. Ich dachte, Sparrow war die Antwort für Cybercats, aber heute ist wirklich das, dass das nicht es. Cybercats, in der Sparrow-Sprache, haben sich geholfen, auf die Höhe auf die Höhe, und es ist der VCGO, dann...
01:38:53 Well, Destabilized currently are still holding onto the high ground. We're seeing the heals come in. That first knock gonna go down onto tier. Maybe this is the weakness for VCGO. They've expended a lot to stay up here and still lose one. While Ronin go down, VCGO pick up their comrades and get right back into the swing of things. Aurora and Zero Tenacity putting on a lot of pressure there to finally...
01:39:16 Ich glaube, es geht um Team Ronin. VCGO wird auch zurückkehren. Aber es ist GO-NEXT! Jetzt in der Skrammel hier auf der SOUTH-SIDE. Ich glaube, sie haben den SOUTH-Kraber in der Hand von Henchmen. Sie werden von den EMP-Tag. Er hat den EMP-Tag. So das ist gut zu sehen. Aber jetzt, wir sehen. GO-NEXT! Wenn sie sich ein Open für sieben, mit dem Kraber. Aber Sie sehen, Atenam wird Flank. Frick ist ein vieles Dammage zu Atenam.
01:39:48 Sherb gets through the door, but Go Next still alive on the low ground. The damage that you mentioned onto Atnam earlier really pays off in the form of a knock and Go Next now are evicted from the building.
01:40:02 Alongside War, who have yet to lose a member, Henchmen will attempt to disengage for now as Legion, unfortunately, will fall. And it's Team Nemesis, the Discord War, out from the lobby with the help of VCGO. We're down to 12 squads now and Nemesis, I wanna say could be the next one, but I'm seeing that Kraft come through. They might be getting their third back into the game. That's fantastic for Team Nemesis. They'll have plenty of time.
01:40:27 Die Rez, und natürlich mit den Lübeboxen, sie werden die 3rd getrennt. SJP2, jetzt vorhin wir den 10-team. Jetzt schauen wir, wie das Northern Side ist. Zero Tenacity, mit sehr wenig Friction zu gehen. Aber es ist 10-K, mit den 10-K, mit den Newcastle Walls, mit den Atlas. Für Navi, das ist eine bessere Turnaround für sie.
01:40:52 Sie haben sich in der Top-Nine gewonnen. Sie haben einen Platz zu arbeiten mit, hier auf der Süd-East-Side zu arbeiten, ohne zu viele Teams zu contesten. Aber ich denke, Navi sind in der Mitte. Und Sie sehen ihre Bewegungen auf der Minimap. Eine Team, die sich so schwer versuchen, sich zu retten. Navi wirklich wollte auf Team Nemesis gehen.
01:41:14 Just seconds ago, but if decided to play for the endgame, play for the win. Something that Aurora tried desperately to do with the Newcastle wall in the corner. But now that there's no energy on this thing anymore, nades are a serious concern. Kazak thinking about refreshing it, but will save the cooldown for right now. That could turn into a critical mistake for Aurora.
01:41:32 We are left to see, left to find out. VCGO up on high ground. Do have a lot of say in how this game goes. And I'd love to see them start taking some potshots at folks. But it's Kashera who comes up. And Kashera who in the line of fire will be taken down. VCGO with great flanks dropped down into the line of sight of Sheila. But Tyr will come down and try and finish the job. VCGO stabilize on the high ground. Great defense from Nono.
01:41:58 Ja, das wird, natürlich, dass Nona getrennt, und für sie zu komplett stabilisieren, hier, um all diese Nemesis zu nehmen, ein paar Pop-Shots zu den Southen, aber es sieht man, dass sie sich nicht mehr überleben können, ultimately. Die Fighting auf der Southseite lässt Navi, jetzt, zu clearly, um, um, zu, sozusagen, Center-Zone. Sie haben so eine großartige Position, Zero Tenacity, zu versuchen, ihre Besten zu halten.
01:42:22 Nordside cleared up and with 10k gone now and really only have to worry about Atlas above them Aurora VCGO and Team Nemesis though all basically stacked up on top of each other here on the western edge allows Na'Vi a lot of clearance here and space to try and steal away some kills
01:42:43 Atlus, we mentioned their aggression earlier. Could be paying off now. VCGO doing such a good job of playing defensive though. All these frags come out of Kyder. He swings up on a Black Venom who's got maybe 10 HP to his name. Black Venom hits the floor immediately. Atlus' push gets completely shut down. And VCGO hold on to the high ground. They're having an excellent game off the back of what was he?
01:43:05 Even better, game number two. Let's see if they can up that ante for this third one. Mind are gonna go down, leaving us with just four squads. You'll notice that Aurora were sat down in the corner. They didn't get to live, because Na'Vi walked up on them and finally released some of that aggression. Now down to our final four squads. We got Nemesis, VCGL, Zero Tenacity, and Na'Vi as the aggression there on the bridge is breaking out. It's just Na'Vi watching on.
01:43:31 Sie lernen ihre Fehler von Game No. 1. Jetzt haben sie die Victory. Sie warten vor ihnen. Nemesis ist weg. Es ist unsere Final Three. Zero Tenacities Reset. Es geht Unchallenged mit der Catalyst Wall, das jetzt jetzt kommt. Mice exposed, aber trotzdem...
01:43:48 Fortunately for him, very much alive. Nobody was looking at him as that one came down. Na'Vi, furthest away from anyone though, should have the advantage. In fact, I'll say should have the win given their position. VCGO will keep them honest for right now, but with no Ash Portal to suddenly cross the distance, VCGO and Zero Tenacity should have to fight each other. We'll see if VCGO can do the same thing they did to Team Nemesis, right? They do have the Motherload available. We'll see if Tyr can actually get that drone across for the EMP.
01:44:18 Die Nade situation ist nicht ganz klar. Die Knuckle Cluster ist genug, aber es ist möglich, dass die Na'vi aus schnell. Und da ist es, alles kommt mit dem Rolling Thunder.
01:44:30 Navi, Navi know the win condition. As long as they don't get naded out of this spot, they should be able to win the game. And they just completely ignore. Heal through VCGO. I'm waiting to see if a knock comes in, because the Nucle Cluster almost does it. We don't want the health bars, but VCGO, they don't have time to gamble on it anymore. They're going to drop down, get eaten alive by Zero Tenacity, and Navi, with the low health bars and all, come down to try and finish the game, and they will. Navi...
01:44:55 Play the Patient Game in Tick Game 3.
01:45:25 Und mit dem, dass sie den Rettung für den Rettung für den Rettung für den Rettung für den Rettung für den Rettung. Sie hatten viel Platz für den Rettung für den Rettung.
01:45:49 Basically, having that extra economy allowed them to survive there in the late game. So, yeah, great, great turnaround there from Na'Vi, especially turning around what wasn't the strongest start there on E-District, and now they have a really strong footing moving on to Broken Moon.
01:46:06 Ich will agree mit Ihnen. Ihr könnt almost feel Hiarka's hand on his rosary during that last bout of nades. But the fact that they're able to outlast, and even in the final push, not have to overcommit on, I want to say, low health bars that they didn't think they could take a fight with. They don't stick the heal. Instead, Rain Day, they manage...
01:46:30 Ich bin 50 HP. Ich bin 50 HP. Ich bin 50 HP. Ich bin 50 HP. Ich bin 50 HP. Ich bin 50 HP. Ich bin 50 HP. Ich bin 50 HP.
Team Dynamik und Strategien in der ALGS Pro League
01:46:5701:46:57 Getting Slab into the mix now, getting a win here. That has got to feel good. They're still doing what they should be doing in Pro League. But a couple of big moves from Zero Tenacity, VCGO, two great games back-to-back, guys. Team Nemesis as well, they were in that final three. Now they're in the final four. And Mind goes from, you know, not too many points to adding four to the total. That's just moving you in the right direction. We all know, Jamerson, that E-District, it's just not everybody's map.
01:47:25 Die Team ist ein bisschen besser mit dem Team, aber das wird uns ein paar unserer Gruppen werden. Aber wir werden über die Broken Moon bewegen. Ja, wir sehen, dass es noch keine Identität für viele unserer Gruppen ist, wenn es um E-District geht. Wir haben, natürlich, mit so vielen Variablen in Play, unsere Team ist rotatend. Und es ist wirklich schwer zu haben, das Read zu sehen. Sie sehen, dass die Free Space, die Aurora hat. Even wenn sie für die Aggressiv-Fights waren, sie nicht able zu finden. Und es ist so...
01:47:55 Of course, I think a quantity that teams still haven't been able to really, really get down.
01:48:02 Ja, und das ist ebenso wie das hier ist. Sie haben uns, die ALGS ist in Jahr 5, aber jedes Jahr ist eine andere Variation. Und auch diese Teams sind die Veränderung. Fenix und Futa zusammen. Normalerweise sehen Sie K. Swinney in Futa und jetzt Mize bringen seine Talents zu dem Squad. Es hat sich geholfen. Fragging Potenzial ist vielleicht nur der richtige Antwort. Fenix, ich sage, ist ein sehr, sehr, sehr Freund von mir. Ich cast ihn in Paladins. Er war ein World Champion in das Sport. Er hat immer den Potenzial zu IGL auf der höchste Level.
01:48:32 Does he have the right team around him? Certainly feels like he's got the right team around him today. Fifth place so far for them. Not as Fincier. Two points ahead. VCGO still doing really, really well. And Ronan and Sha-La-La. It's getting ever closer, Dia, at the top in a meal.
01:48:47 Ja, ich bin wirklich auf die Weise VC-Geo gespielt. In der ganzen Welt, E-District, hat sich sehr gut gemacht, bei ihnen. Die Spielpunkte sind nicht da, wie es für Schalala und Ronin ist. Aber sie halten sich in der Gespräche, und wie Jamerson sagte, sie machen die richtige Macro moves in diesen Endgames. Sie vielleicht nicht hatten die Nades, aber man, das Endgame war fast.
01:49:12 Exciting stuff to watch. And you know, EMEA always has some exciting personalities that we get a chance to talk to. But there's one person, when you say EMEA, that comes to mind immediately. And of course, it's Funk. No, I'm just kidding. But Funk is a part of EMEA now. And that's what's great about it. He's joined Gaming Gladiators. He's gone from being a North American star, introduced here from LG, and now finding his way over to working with Gaming Gladiators, currently sitting.
01:49:40 in Portugal. Funk, welcome to the show, man. Thanks for joining us at halftime. Thank you guys for inviting me. Thank you. Thank you.
Funk's Wechsel von Nordamerika zu Gaming Gladiators in EMEA
01:49:48
01:49:48 We talked earlier getting you set up for this and you explained your story, but I just want to tap on it a little bit for those who didn't get a chance to do it. You decided that I was going to be one of the first North American players to just go and move to EMEA and set this up and just open my possibilities for the team I wanted to play with. How did it come about getting on to Gaming Gladiators and kind of what's the situation now that you guys are officially a team and playing in this EMEA split?
01:50:15 Ja, so basically after Champs, when Sweet retired, and then I hit up GG after Champs, and they weren't looking for a player right now. And then Opens came around, and they didn't do too good, so they messaged me like, okay, so I had an NA offer, I was going to take it, it's a really good org, and then last second GG hit me up after Opens. And then I was like, I might as well take it, because I want to be the first EU player, or NA player to go to EU and win a LAN, so.
01:50:44 I always thought Light was a really good IGL, so I thought it was my best opportunity to go to EU. And my girlfriend lives there as well, so it all came together. It was perfect. I mean, it sounds like a fantastic move to make, especially, like you said, being able to try something new, be the first player to be exported from North America now over to EU. Now, my curiosity lies in, you know, obviously...
01:51:12 Life in EU is going to be fun to stabilize around, but what's the scene been like? You've been there for a little while, and North America has a very established way of doing things. This is how we scrim. This is the tournaments we get into. These are the third parties that we go for. There's an algorithm to it. How does that change when you move over into EMEA? What's the scene like when you're not actually playing Pro League Days?
01:51:35 Schlims sind echt schlecht in EMEA. NA Schlims sind so viel besser. Ich habe nie gespielt in EMEA. Die Qualität ist echt schlecht. Das ist warum das Region nicht so gut als NA ist. Weil die Region nicht so gut als NA ist. Ich habe nur hier für eine Woche und eine halbe, glaube ich. Und die Schlimm Qualität ist echt schlecht. Es spielt nicht wie Pro League, also wird es nicht mehr praktisch gemacht. Are you changing that in some way? Oder are you just along for the ride?
01:52:05 I don't think the scrim quality will ever change here because they just don't know what they're doing, but I'm just along for the ride, I guess. Funk, Funk, you gotta save the hot takes for us, alright? We're doing that a little bit. Yeah, I kind of wanted to know, like, what were some of the aspects, like you were mentioning, you know, you saw GG, you saw the opportunity there, and you reached out to them first. What was the impetus of that? What did you see?
01:52:31 in Light to be like, I want that guy to be my IGL. I think he's what I need. How did that decision come about? Well, after Germanyland, after I was watching him play Germanyland, he was IGN insanely really, really good after I watched the VODs. So I always thought he had the potential to be the next zero, basically. Basically, the EU zero. So I just thought playing with him would be the best next opportunity.
01:52:58 It's great to hear the insight. I know it's an interesting story, so we're going to keep a lot of tabs on it, Funk. Obviously, whether EMEA changes in some of those scrim tactics or not, you're certainly there to try and bring a trophy to EMEA with Gaming Gladiators. It'll be exciting to see that and send our best to that Oregon squad as they continue to suit up and show out here on the pro days that they're playing. Since we have you here, might as well have a little bit of fun with you as well and do some hot takes, guys. I think it's time to do some hot
Hot Takes und Meinungen zur ALGS und Teamkommunikation
01:53:28
01:53:28 Diea, Jamerson, du hast es schon erwähnt. Du hast die Idee zu meinem Kopf gemacht. Du und ich, wir sind hier und wir reagieren. Aber Diea, es ist dein Turn, mein Freund. Was ist dein Hot Take heute? Okay, ich bin nervös über das in front of Funk, weil ich mich falsch bin. Aber ich war mit Zephyr mit Zephyr this week. Ich habe viele Ranked gespielt. Und wenn ich nicht mit jemandem, ich solo spielen.
01:53:52 Und das bedeutet, dass ihr die Möglichkeit habt, zu kommen zu deinen Teammaten und nicht zu kommen zu deinen Teammaten. Ich bin ein paar Flak von Zephyr, ich möchte wissen, wie die Community fühlt. Ich bin nicht zu meinen Teammaten. Wenn ich auf mein eigenes Spiel bin, mein Mic ist auf, ich sehe die Minimap, und ich mache mein Job. Und ich denke, dass wenn du... Ich denke, dass du dein Recht hast. Ich denke, dass du einfach nur so effektiv bist, wenn nicht mehr effektiv bist. Wir haben eine gute Ping-System.
01:54:16 Again, look at the minimap, look at where your teammates are, because you saying I'm pushing doesn't matter. They don't hear you, bro. They're not paying attention. Just pay attention to what they're doing, do what they do, and you'll be okay. If not, just queue up again. Hot taking, hot taking, hot taking, saying my hot take, and a hot take right now, doing a hot take. Yeah, sometimes if you don't have the good comms, we don't need them. I hear you. I'm with you on that. Jamerson, what do you have to follow up on it? Hopefully you're coming on this one so we can hear your hot take.
01:54:44 Ja, um, I mean, honestly, I can see that, because you're just not with them, right? But anyhow, um, oh, wait, wait, wait, we're not doing that? Okay, sorry, sorry, production's helping you know, we're not doing that again. Put that back! Put that back! But yeah, my hot take is that I think ALGS should be 20 teams per region. We've added on so many different variables into the game now that with 30 teams per region, it becomes so much more difficult for our teams to really...
01:55:14 Flesch out their knowledge of the game, right? You're dealing with the Changing Legends Band, two more new maps coming in. Now you're trying to really kind of coalesce all of that around other skills that you had in the past. Being able to read the rotates of other squads behind you, knowing who's going to shout at you, knowing how everyone plays around you. Well, that changes with every...
01:55:36 So 20 Teams per Region might be the go-to to be the healthiest for all of our players. So if you're not top 20, Jamerson thinks you don't have the right to exist. Get out of the league. Get out. Get out. Very clear. Funk, what do you got to say about that hot takes from Jamerson and Dia? No comms in 20 Team Pro League. What's the takeaway?
01:55:59 Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.
01:56:25 I'm a little bit on both, guys. I mean, I come sometimes. I come when needed, okay, in rank, but I don't opt to come right away. I'm not telling you that I'm picking up a stabilizer, all right? So let's just move on and split the difference. Funk, that was fun. I'd do that with you. Jamerson D, obviously amazing. And Funk, while we've got you here, we've got another segment we want to introduce to you because we asked the chat to involve themselves in our broadcast. We told them you would be coming on at halftime, so we picked up some questions that you can help us answer. So let's...
01:56:53 I think I had a really good offer in NA, like a really good org. Well, I'll just tell you the offer. I could have joined NIP and NA. I was basically locked in.
01:57:20 Aber in der letzten Zeit, GG hittet mich. Ich dachte, wir machen es. Ich glaube, es ist wirklich cool. Ich glaube, es ist wirklich cool. Ich bin der erste Spieler von N.A. zu E.U. zu E.U. zu E.U. zu E.U. zu E.U. zu E.U. zu E.U. zu E.U. zu E.U. zu E.U. zu E.U. zu E.U. zu E.U.
01:57:36 Love that answer. You've got some family over there too. Your girlfriend you mentioned, she's been kind of, you're a base a little bit, kind of not in NA. So there's some other incentives at all aligned. Thank you Toxic Frostbite 8 for that one. Hopefully you enjoyed his answer there. We got one from LAS underscore Wookiee. It says, what's the differences that you've noticed in the way that EMEA teams play compared to NA? And let's leave scrims out of this one. It's taken enough of a beating.
01:58:02 Can't help but chuckle a little bit.
01:58:23 Now, let's remember, you were, for your iteration coming into Pro League, under one of the best micro IGLs that we've ever seen in Sweet Dreams. So you do have a very high bar, that is for sure. Thanks a lot, man, for expressing all your thoughts. Very candid, very fun, and it was great to have you on. Thank you guys so much.
01:58:42 All right, Funk from Game and Gladiators, the new face of EMEA. But you know, EMEA took a couple of beatings there with Funk. Guys, I've got to see what do you think? Chat about those responses. Certainly kept it fun and spicy. Dia, you've had a great day so far, but it's time for a break, my friend. You have just been putting in the effort. So Jamerson and I are going to take this one away, go get some rest, maybe a little bit of food, some bacalue.
Broken Moon Map, Teamstrategien und Legendenwahl in ALGS Spiel 4
01:59:06
01:59:06 Is that how I say it? God, I'm trying to get it. He's in Portugal. We talked about what is the Portugal national dish. It is a salted cod, and someone needs to tell me if I pronounce that right. Bacallu. We'll see. We'll see as we head into game, Jamerson. It's awesome to cast with you, buddy. We get a chance to look at this. It's been a good run on Eat District, but now Broken Moon. Where do things sit for you, and how do things start to change now that we jump into this map?
01:59:30 Ja, ich meine, mit dem Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk-Funk
01:59:55 Ja. Ja. Ja.
02:00:21 Now here on Broken Moon, where the last time we were here in A versus C, we started off with three maps of Broken Moon. And they were able to get about 60 points. I believe they bookended Broken Moon. First game and the last game on Broken Moon with wins. Can they repeat that performance here? Yeah, it's important to see if there can be any consistency.
02:00:44 Ich finde, die Konsistenz ist in der Zeit. Wenn ein Team performt gut ist, dann finden Sie ein Weg. Weil, ja, es gibt die Rotation, ja, es gibt die Zonen, aber wenn Sie einen Ekel geben...
02:00:59 Ich glaube, es ist ein sehr guter Team. Ich fühle mich, dass sie das Wettbewerb machen können, auch wenn sie das Wettbewerb machen können.
02:01:28 No Olympus, no King's Canyon. Sorry, guys. Not for now. But Broken Moon is here to be featured. And it's not as Vinciere coming off a championship run with a new member, Slab, trying to repeat, if they can, and grab game number four. Surprisingly enough here for Na'Vi, they had the option of picking up the new castle for this composition, but they will not. This is...
02:01:51 I believe, you know, they still have access to that Catalyst, and I was wondering if both Newcastle and Catalyst would survive the day throughout E-District, and they were able to. So, Navi have that option going forward for them, but as Dia asked in game number three, with Alter gone, with Ash gone, how much more Wraith are we going to see? It does seem like now the swap on over here, we're going to see a little bit more of that. We are seeing, of course, the upticks of the Bangalores like we saw in the last game. A lot of Pathfinders out here.
02:02:20 Wir sehen uns hier auch, und die Zonen-Range zeigt uns, dass es sich um die Zonen-Range geht. So diese Teams, die die Rotation-Tools haben, können wir da early werden. Ja, eine andere Sache, dass wir die Team-Leader, die Overall-Emmieter-Leader heute haben, Sha-La-La, haben die Sparrow gekauft. Es gibt vier Iterationen Sparrow. Cyber-Katz, die zu beginnen. Cyber-Katz und Nemesis, mit Sha-La-La, opten für das, die Pathfinder und die Raid.
02:02:47 Different iterations of that, but a Pathfinder and Sparrow seem to be a little bit of the combination for most of those teams. And now just a nemesis with the Bangalore Sparrow and Catalyst, giving a little bit more of that cover, less aggressive playstyle, but also still having the ability to get the information, which Sparrow is so good at with that tracker dart. Just one of the ways he has changed the game. Recons don't even need to be near them. A quick shot with the dart, and all of a sudden you've got the information on how to move through it. Now Team War.
02:03:17 Ich finde sie in eine kleine Engagement hier mit SJP 2, aber unser boi Pathy ist dabei, mit dem Grappling-Hook. Ich war zu sagen, mit dem Pickup in Sparrow, wir sehen, was Schallala kann mit es tun. Wir müssen natürlich auch ganz ehrlich sein, was passiert.
02:03:36 Ja, es ist immer tough. Ich weiß nicht, ob das 100% true ist, aber es ist 65, 35, 60, 40.
02:04:04 Usually going north to south, you know, presents you with a little bit less friction, the same way south all the way up to north does. A lot of these maps have heights, they tilt. And so Shalala coming from that north side yet again, being able to pull down south has worked out for them and not seen a lot of people rotating behind them to get up there and take that angle. So we'll see if that continues. But Reply Totem here on a couple of shots from that.
02:04:31 Amped up, buffed up, 30-30. Now with the Skullpiercer available. And just gonna keep moving all along. Go next. Team Nemesis, SJP2, Team War, Zero Tenacity all found their way alongside Zipline Mafia into near Cultivation, setting up for what could be where the game ends. Yeah. 4-0 Tenacity, though. They do have to deal with...
02:04:54 B. C. G. O. On the peripheries and that's kind of scary especially with how strong that they've been able to play and they really haven't had to change up the composition right none of the none of the legend bands have really affected what they've been playing across the last two maps
02:05:09 And I believe, I'm double-checking right now, yeah, they are still running the Crypto End Fuse, so they will have that big bombardment, that big open teamfight for themselves. So Zero Tenacity, have to be able to scout that out. They need someone with the long range to see exactly what the composition is, and if they're aware of it, what that team is. Na'Vi, though, getting pushed right now. The EMP landing on top of them, but they've got one in kind as they try and hold off this push. Slab.
02:05:39 Just throws a little bit of that anti-matter in front of that door, making sure that they at least can zone off one side to play the opposite, Hierarcha. And Ushako, letting go of Zidane, the biggest story so far. Those roster changes shock a lot of people. It reminds me of North America, SSG winning. And then getting rid of Phoney. I knew Koi for going their way to join MT and Shopify Rebellion.
02:06:06 Ja, ich glaube...
02:06:31 Onset and Gaskin started off this discussion a long, long time ago, right? Who's stronger, Cats or Cybercats, right? The argument, who's stronger, Cats or Cybercats? And I believe Cats have a plus one on the day over Cybercats, so they are currently in the lead. And it does seem like this rivalry continues there, but Cats decide they're not in position for that fight. They'll go ahead and swerve away for it. VCGO have made their move on in.
02:06:59 And while they did meet some resistance, they were able to get right underneath Zero Tenacity here. And it doesn't look like they have to utilize too much in terms of their ultimate economy here. They do have that Rolling Thunder, which won't help them in the fight. It is straight up 3v3 inside the buildings, but it can deter, of course, a lot of the space on the roof of the building, so teams can't get the flank on them. But it does seem like no one really wants to risk it here. There is...
02:07:26 Es gibt wirklich keinen Sinn, wenn man die ZONE 3 ist. Aber jetzt, Roden ist hier auf dem Rotate. Und mit dem Rotate wird, wir kommen zu viel Probleme hier. Hoodie ist schon mit dem Mordor Blast. Mal sehen, wie sie es tun können. Wenn sie in die ZONE 3 machen können.
02:07:51 Ich weiß nicht, ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das. Ich kann das, ich kann das.
02:08:17 Can I drop a drop of height? They went back. Yeah, I'll take height. Give me a second. There's a blue backpack here, MG. I'm waiting for the study type to respawn. Can we watch our backs down in case we're getting robbed? Yeah. Stabilizer. They zip down, they zip down, I think. Diddy, can we hit... I'm gonna hit Beacon. Yes, we hit all Beacons. I'm hit Beacon.
02:08:54 Ja, ich komme aus.
02:09:03 Sie sind nicht hier. Sie sind hier. Sie sind hier. Sie sind hier. Sie sind hier. Sie sind hier. Sie sind hier. Sie sind hier. Sie sind hier.
02:09:31 This team is easy on my thing, but if you think this is easy to kill we can kill that bro, I think we got terraformer I think we got terraformer bro come this is okay coming yeah, but we can bro we like this side is so fucking congested If they fight we third party, but we just get terror beacon and see what if anything's open We can maybe wrap this side and do the same thing we did before remember like just yeah, I haven't zero flesh man's at all though
02:10:00 These guys shouldn't be here. They should be on the buildings, right? Yeah, there were two, they were stuck in the buildings. Like one, even quarantine if we can get like quarantine info. It's not a sparrow. Okay, I'm walking up. We can maybe try and get it. It might have been a crypto drone, I don't know. Could have been.
02:10:23 So there's some of their some of that they're looking at us, okay? We might just have one we fight this week. Yeah, no, he kind of got drunk about it. Yeah, we'll be in the back of the back of the back of one of them. Let me get peeking. Oh good. I'm hitting beacon. Okay?
02:10:45 This is free we should go for quarantine come Okay, we get this play for quarantine. Okay. Yeah, this is free by the way this year is also free mythic pill, but we should maybe try to make a crunching team in quarantine Bro, this fight is so good if we get in front of them a tree if we get in front of them a tree if we get in front of them a tree
02:11:14 Be careful, they may try and push you. I'm trying to beat these guys, okay? Ja. On me. Ja. No idea. I'm 10 seconds.
02:11:26 Und nicht nur haben sie es geschafft, sie haben über 700 andere Entscheidungen da, die allgegenossen haben können, auf der Ballance des Knife's Edge. Oh, no. Das Resultat ist ein Kampf mit Sha-La-La. Die Hoffnung zu nehmen und zonen sie ihn aus, hat auf Ronin zurückgezogen. Nach dem Tod, Natsky versucht ihn zu halten. Ist es ein Natsky-Natsky-Moment hier? Er hat einen, kann er noch einen? Ist das Natsky mit dem Moment? Oh, und er geht es. Sha-La-La und Tyler.
02:11:54 PS glee's it up, and that ends Ronin's indecision. Oh, things were looking so good, but you saw the push and pull between the former IGL and the current IGL, and that did slow them down just a bit, but overall I think really it came down to just Chaotic. We've seen Chaotic already with the Devo in, so when he stands in front of you, he's not just a turret.
02:12:20 He is a killing machine on that Pathfinder Devo. So much damage early on, too. You gotta think they felt a little bit more safe in that fight. Pressure was provided by Shalala. Now they're gonna have to reset. But there's Legion Gaming in front of them as well. SJP2 also on the fight with Aurora. This is not a place you want to be running into, especially if you've just used some resources and been hanging in zone. And there's Tyler, almost going down. Aurora goes down as well, Jamerson. And it's looking like SJP2 may be the healthiest team here and the best position.
02:12:49 Yeah, SJP2 backing off from Sha-La-La, giving them some room now to charge forward, but they can still play off of gatekeeping from this building, but no one's actually looking at their back right now. Legion Gaming did try to come in for a third party on Sha-La-La, but it looks like they will be able to completely stabilize here. Case when he does have, of course, the utility left in the back.
02:13:14 Chaotic might start things off once again. We got that Stinger bolt down, but it's instantly cleared. Huge stuff. Instantly cleared, as you said. That's a big investment of resources. No, this is a fight that they have to win. And they are looking less and less capable of being able to do it with all of their backs against the line. They lose Chaotic Munch. They lose Tyler FBS. It's just up to Kay Sweeney. He's got no ultimate, but he's got a devotion and a scout.
02:13:41 He can't find the site that clears him and his team out into safety. And that will be Legion Gaming closing out our leaders of the lobby so far. SJP2 just lingered along too late and kind of grieved the game for Sha-La-La there. But now we're seeing a lot of fighting on the edges. Cyber Cats versus Cats. It looks like right now it's go next with the long range. Elon Z trying to stabilize here as he's lost out completely.
02:14:10 auf einer seiner Mitglieder. Wir sehen uns auf die Zone zu sehen. Mit so vielen Teams noch auf der Nordseite, es ist nur Team Warrer, als Legion Gaming jetzt zu spielen. Auf gegen Na'Vi hat sie schon zwei Knucks. Ich muss sagen, es ist ziemlich surprising, wie diese Rotation sind. Es sind viele Teams mit viel Indecision und vielleicht nicht viele gute Spiele zu spielen. So die Diskussion ist, nicht zu finden, nicht zu finden, nicht zu finden, sondern zu finden, zu finden, und zu finden, und zu finden, und zu finden.
02:14:38 Stay alive. One more second. One more P2020 Bullet. That might make the difference. Henchman believes in that. And he sees results. Axonim as well. Alongside Kinda. Holding down this building. Making it difficult for Miss Cam to move in. And they're going to continue to do this as long as they can. But the only problem with it. Not is Kinsir a little bit up above. Go Next clean that up. That might be a solo from Navi. Is it all three? But they've still got a lot of teams to move past. And Team Nemesis and Kat still in front of them. Yeah.
02:15:06 Ja, es ist Uchako da für Na'Vi. Unfortunately, eine andere Sache passiert zu ihnen wie in Game 1, richtig? Sie waren in einem starken Position, aber sie waren nicht able, um ihre Seite der Map zu halten. Team Nemesis ist bereits ein Knochs. Das ist Krak-Ton, und Adam geht um, Katz, jetzt ein zu einem hier. Kalamitus ist auf der anderen Seite, als Remix Powers wird, und wir gehen ihm an. Oh, Kalamitus ist mit dem einen Clipfoot.
02:15:34 Looks like Team Nemesis on that chase almost getting cleaned up. It's VCGO on the third party. Was rocking the Sparrow as well. Went for the three ultimates there. A lot of people having that conversation. What do you guys think? Take the big ult that heals you. Might have gotten him out of that situation. And he didn't get a chance to hit the third. VCGO been playing well. They started with 31 points here. Now they're at 35 second place on the top seven so far. They could turn this into a win.
02:16:03 He'll certainly jump Sha-La-La, who I believe are around 36 to 37 here starting off. A big shot, though, on that Devotion, taking down BCGO and Henchman on go next. Gonna find that one, but he gets pressured right back. So it looks like both teams will stabilize here for now.
02:16:21 A lot of space here left to work with. GoNext though clearing out a lot of that northern side, but they still have some friction. You can see Team Nemesis on the other side. It's just Zuni left as Atnam tries to chase him down, but the movement gives him a little bit of pause, but it will be able to clean him up, bring us down to six squads remaining. But now GoNext are treated to some nades in their face. Enchmen Atnam barely surviving.
02:16:47 But it does look like Go Next might be able to stabilize here. Uchako actually playing the defender for Go Next as he takes out Kiner. Oh my goodness, Uchako has no right to be alive any longer than he is right now. Someone's going to try to take him out. BCGO eliminated. They'll stay in a pretty good spot, but maybe not enough to surpass first place. A team that could do it though, they got 100% tenacity here. It's zero tenacity. Phoenix, Feuta.
02:17:13 Mize on the high ground, top five, 30-30s, shields, resources. I like where they're at. Have to move a little bit, go next to their left, but they've got a clear line of sight to be able to. Yeah, that was a little bit tragic there, right? Uchako, he plays fourth man for go next and stops the third parties from coming in up against them, allows them to try and go for the reset, and ultimately he goes down to them. But Zero Tenacity now, trying to apply pressure on the duo of go next, but I think they might be able to.
02:17:42 Get the res there. Now, they don't have the clearest of paths, but they want to secure all of these kills for themselves. Zero Tenacity are caught up in the middle of the pack of teams right now. 33 points to their name. They need every single kill here along with this win. Really jump ahead in the leaderboard. You can see Go next getting no.
02:18:05 No quarter whatsoever, as every team now just looking at them. Team War, Zero Tenacity. Atlas is the only other squad who's just minding their business. And it's going to be, looks like Team War picking up these kills. Yeah, Go Next will be going back to Lobby next, it certainly looks like. We'll see if that continues still holding out with one. But that one has got to be done here. See you later. Go Next, Top 3, Team War.
02:18:30 Atlas in Zero Tenacity. Can Zero Tenacity move in? They're already fighting with Atlas. This could be Team War, ready to go. Zero Ten hiding behind the rocks. Can they find something? It's going to be the difference between a few shots and somebody who changes the pace. And look at that ultimate coming in, doing damage, but not enough. They'll have a reset, but they're playing on low health. Decent shields there. As you can see, the EMP coming. Phoenix throwing the Arc Star, trying to at least.
02:18:56 Realizes there's no threat, he's gonna back off. Still three squads here in this western duel. They're panicking a little here. They've got bats to utilize. I saw Phoenix actually taking the slow heals, even though he had four bats there. So they kind of need to calm things down just a little bit. They're not under as much pressure as they might feel like they are. Now they just need to play off of time. It does seem like that Atlas will give them a little bit more breathing room to work with, but...
02:19:23 Because of that small little engagement, that small little fight between Atlas and Zero Tenacity, that allowed Team War to creep up a little bit closer to the center of the zone right now. And Team War now is starting to have a lot more control here. And we do need to have someone from Team War keeping an eye on Zero Tenacity because now they're allowed to freely...
02:19:42 Walk up and forward. Believe, though, it should be Team Warm with the utility overall to basically take out the win here. You can see now Zero Tenacity realizing, yeah, our biggest threat is going to be Atlas here. We might have to commit to second place up against them. They're using the last bit of their utility, the Knuckle Clusters, really just to try and keep them contained.
02:20:06 War, Zero Tenacity, and Atlas. Somebody's got to make a move, and it is. Tryhard Thor and the squad going to go up against Zero Tenacity, and they will fall. It's going to leave things open for Team War to kind of pick this off. But can Zero Tenacity clean it up enough? And maybe get a shield swap. Udo will fall. Team War in the right spot to win it all. And Shurv up on high from down below will finish it with an R9 and help to clean it up.
02:20:35 Und take the game!
02:20:37 Great call coming out from Team War there. They realize that it's just the knock. They're not in position on the other side to really trade with zero tenacity. And so you need to go for the aggression much more early than you would on the final three squad situation. Usually you're waiting for the trades, right? But they know that the trade is not going to come. And so they get aggressive early on, hit that EMP, and then jump right on top of them. Great call out from War there. The timing of it was absolutely perfect.
02:21:05 Ja, und jeder hat eine wirklich gute Position, die man nicht wirklich konnte, ohne Dying-to-Be-Ether zu gehen. Sie waren in der kind-of Western-Stand-Off, wo wir gesagt haben, wo der enemy von meinem Enem ist mein Freund ist. Und so es hat sie alle zu sitzen und sehen, wie sie die beste Utilität haben in ihrer Legend-Pool haben. Und das ist wo die Fuse starte zu machen. Das ist wo...
02:21:25 Ich glaube, das ist toll, und auch für Team War zu willkommen.
02:21:52 Ja, great showing out there from Team War, but I do want to go back to the point that you were talking about, of course, that EVO economy for them, 4-0 tenacity, not looking great, especially when you consider how much fighting that they have to actually take place in on that north side. We knew the congestion ended up showing up.
02:22:15 On the north side, when you have the very far southern pole side, but they never really had the opportunity to really get back up in terms of heals, in terms of nades, which they could have desperately used to really try and flush out Atlas there.
02:22:30 Yeah, I mean, no Watsons, nothing to block it. A Sparrow would have gone hard there. It would have been, but all the Sparrows died. So there was no chance to see it. But another Legend will be banned in this next game. So will we see more Sparrow? Will we see more teams buying for first? It's an all-out brawl here in EMEA. We got two games left. We'll see you after the break.
02:24:31 Sony Inzone, the official monitor of the Apex Legends Global Series. Welcome back everyone as Broken Moon kicked off.
02:24:50 Ja, ich denke, es kam wirklich zu den Patience für Team War, für Zero Tenacity. Wir sahen, dass...
02:25:19 Team War hatte es komplett in control, aber Zero Tenacität war able zu halten gegen Atlas hier.
02:25:36 You saw that Team War knew and understood that the trades really weren't going to come here and they had to get aggressive early on. Atlas was just under so much pressure that they weren't going to be able to do the damage necessary really over towards Zero Tenacity. So Team War, you know, typically you wait things out. They take things into their own hands and secure that dub for themselves.
02:25:58 Und es wird ein sehr guter Böscher für die Punkte für sie. Sie sind 7th in der Liga, um heute zu Ende. Ich bin sicher, dass es, um sie ein bisschen weiter in den Leaderboarden wird. However, die surprise zu mir ist, ist, dass Pathfinder ist. Ich erwarte, dass etwas wie Newcastle ausgenommen wird, weil wir immer viel emphasis auf Newcastle sehen, besonders wenn wir diese wide-open-Mapen werden.
02:26:21 Pathfinder now being eliminated still leaves a lot of Defensive Legends open as we've still got Catalyst, still got Newcastle for Games 5 and 6. Yeah, I kind of like the little bit of wordplay we get there at the end. You know, it was Team War winning and then, of course, Pathfinder getting banned, so we got the Warpath in Game 4. But yeah, I am surprised by that, right? On Broken Moon, we were typically seeing things like Catalyst, Newcastle getting banned out, but Pathfinder going down?
02:26:49 Es macht Sinn, ich möchte sagen. Teams haben sich auf die Aggression geschehen. Wir haben eine slowen Auftick des Utilisationen von Pathfinder, als wir durch E-District sind. Und er ist sehr stark mit dem Energize-Zipline in die Basis-Kid. So, du musst du in das investieren, und du kannst es nutzen.
02:27:10 Very early on, but now he's gone. And so this is where I will see a lot. I think we will be seeing a lot more of the defensive legends coming out. We should be seeing some more Newcastle being utilized here. Would have been very great for other squads, especially in that late game.
02:27:24 I'm looking at some of the other Legends available as well, and one of the things that has really become apparent in Apex Legends over the last couple of patches is how impactful having a movement ability for your team is. We see things like Alter be really important.
02:27:41 Das war die ersten zwei Bands der Tag. Ballistik, die nicht ganz viel mehr Bewegung in der Form von Dashes gibt, aber es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft
02:28:04 for a way to ferry your entire squad safely from one place to another. Yeah, we still have the wraith available, so we will have that. Other options, of course, the catalyst being picked up, throw it out on wall, run alongside of it, the new castle with the mobile shield. There are options, it's just not as safe as the other ones that have been banned out are. But now getting into game number five.
02:28:28 Team War, formerly Danish. Well, two-thirds of Danish. I don't even know. Were they even... Were they the actual two-thirds that were Danish? I don't know. All these teams that were like, oh, English or Danish or their identities really kind of got mixed up in the melting pot of the EMEA roster shuffle.
02:28:50 I really miss the full English. That was a fun team to commentate on name alone. That was just an exciting time. And hopefully we'll get a lot more of that. I do like that in EMEA. We don't really have that in North America. There aren't like the Texas boys. I'm trying to think of other things that people might name their team. The Texas boys.
02:29:12 We have a lot of them though, right? So many people have moved out to Austin and such. I mean, it's kind of like the second hub of Apex overall with all the players and streamers in Austin. But taking a look at our map, our first pull on over towards Stasis Array. So for teams that were able to...
02:29:35 Really bank off of getting the zone pulled over to them. I don't think we have to mention Navi in that discussion. Yeah, they are extremely happy with how this has come so far, especially because when you're going Stasis Array, you have a lot more defensible building area than you do even in Cultivation, where there are several ingresses into a single building. In Stasis Array, especially if you choose to play towards the south,
02:30:03 You can really lock down one of those little pods that really only have two entrances. Sometimes you get a third in there, you could just retreat to a room. And so if you do want to play zone and hard zone at that, without Alter in the game, getting an early building in Stasis Array has never been safer. Yeah, one of the big questions though for Na'Vi is just how well that they defend their position in game number one, game number four. They had really early position and strong.
02:30:32 Sie haben eine sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.
02:30:47 Wir sehen uns 10k, Aurora, ZipLine, Mafia alles in early hier. So es wird wirklich wichtig für Navi zu halten, aber Sie sehen, dass es so viele Punkte von Ingress auf dem Spot gibt, dass sie nicht mehr können.
02:31:05 Out of all the legends that we talked about, what could be the next ban, what's going to keep you safe, the lobby has really chosen violence over anything for this particular round, because Fuse is the most picked legend in game number 5. With 11 teams, more than half our teams, running Fuse, we've talked about the safety of early buildings and Stasis Array, there's still going to be a lot of nays thrown at you. Yeah, and...
02:31:32 The utility that Fuse really does provide, though, when you're trying to see to building clearing out doors with the knuckle cluster clearing out corners and basically zoning here. Okay. Zoning mother load early on up against team Nemesis. They are getting it right now as an EMP gets dropped down on them, too. Fortunately able to disengage.
02:31:55 mit einem Early-Use der Catalyst, es ist ein Spiel des Stabilisations für Nevesis, aber sie sind noch immer nach der Krypto-Drohne. Und zu Beginn von Hunted Down, wir haben eine Team auf der Offensive, Repli-Totem auf der inside dieser Geburt. Sie sehen, dass sie zu voll-resetieren können. Sie sehen, dass sie weitergehen.
02:32:15 But that's a full reset for Reply Totem in what looks like a pretty illegal fashion. Adnan gets shut down as a result of getting too aggressive on this. And now it's Reply Totem with the big advantage. We're going to try and sweep in and take out Go Next. They do so easily. And I got to be honest with you, Jamerson, that's a bit confusing to see it turned around like that. I think one of the things I might have seen it on the kill feed was that Na'Vi were able to get a knock onto one of the Go Next members. It kind of...
02:32:42 Flipped by really fast there. And that could have been the huge difference maker in that fight for Totem to be able to fully reset off of that. And yeah, really surprising turn of events. But I don't think without the helping hand of Na'Vi, they would have been able to survive throughout all of that. But now we're in an extremely strong position to hold outs. They've got the catalyst. They've got that new castle. So if the zone pulls away from them, they have the tools to move away. Na'Vi!
02:33:11 Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja.
02:33:40 Start moving out. I'm seeing the Cybercats up there starting to take a little bit of a fight. They've certainly got some damage in them. And so another big power point for Navi, you can also be picking your moments for when you do choose to leave the building and get aggressive onto other squads, because you can get a lot of KP that way. Yeah, Navi are in a strong position here, basically dead center of the zone. So regardless of whatever wacky pull we can get out of it, they will be basically in position.
02:34:09 ...to respond to it. So if it goes to the north, of course they can go and creep up that way. Their only point of friction is going to be Legion Gaming and CyberCats to their north right now. But honestly, I think they should be safe there. Eastern side is fairly clear, but Aurora could try and hold that one down. And then to the southern side, I don't think you really want to try and move in there. But we are now seeing that after the early aggression...
02:34:32 Das war's für heute. Es geht um sich um, um sich um, um sich um, um sich um, um sich um.
02:34:54 Team War.
02:35:14 With a pretty solid position, given that they are solidly in this choke, which means that nobody can really run by them. Remember, we talked about safe options to move your team. We're not even seeing something like Valkyrie picked up here to be able to overpass a team. For VCGO, you've either got to book it through Hazmat Tunnel or take the fight against Team War, neither of which is particularly appealing. Real quick, because we talked about where Team War drop over by Cultivation, this rotation has let them...
02:35:43 I'd say get a faster rotate into a choke point than it would into zone. So it's really playing to the strengths of how their POI relates to the overall circle pull. Yeah, we're seeing a lot of our teams start moving their way on over towards the slow side of the zone. You can see on the north side there, Sha-La-La trying to creep their way up towards the Legion side. The ring did end up pulling slightly off to the eastern edge there. Na'vi still dead center of that zone, but now from here.
02:36:12 Es ist wahrscheinlich wahrscheinlich zu werden. So, sie wollen sie versuchen, eine Early-Move zu machen? Will sie vielleicht auch mit Legion beherrn? Ich denke, mit der Presence von Sha-La-La, das wird eine Öffnung für Na'Vi zu versuchen, um sie aus der Bühne zu machen. Sie können jetzt Ronin spielen, auf der Eastern-Edge zu sehen. Sie haben 10-K zu den Norden in Eternal, und dann haben sie SJP-2 aus dem Dividend.
02:36:39 Ich weiß nicht, dass sie das Survey Beacon sind, aber sie sollen wissen, dass sie von der South kommen sind. Und sie sind so, dass sie sich aus der Position bewegen, und sie werden sich aus der Position bewegen. Ja, besonders wenn man Sparrow nicht mit den Survey Beacons hat. Das ist so believable, eigentlich. Weil wir haben Krypto, ich bin in die gleiche boat als Sie. Ich dachte, ich denke, sie haben die Daten. Ich dachte, sie haben die Daten, sie haben die Daten.
02:37:07 All right, here's Zero Tenacity, though, on the south side. It's VCGOs, I believe. Evac Tower being utilized here. And the pressure from Zero Tenacity is actually forcing VCGO to actually land on SJP2. There is an opportunity for Zero Tenacity to come in for the third party if this fight breaks out.
02:37:28 Dear Tenacity, they very much know it as well. They have not let VCGO out of their crosshairs. EMP, defensively, offensively, not sure which from VCGO, as they are in a really awkward position that doesn't really let them decide. Denze from SJP2 has continued.
02:37:45 Ja, Navi ist ein guter Job von prünen alle die Weeds in der Nähe, aber...
02:38:08 This was just very unfortunate for VCGO, who had a strong start on Broken Moon. We'll see if they can recover, but SJP2, they were already in a defensible position. Zero Tenacity was applying pressure. This is actually just two members of Zero Tenacity. They've got their third anchoring super far away, basically at their original position. You can see Phoenix has to get out of dodge. He'll get that extra double time speed. Now for Zero Tenacity, unfortunately, now they're getting chased down by SJP2.
SJP2 vs. Zero Tenacity: Taktische Manöver und entscheidende Fehler
02:38:39
02:38:39 And this kind of aggression from SJP2 is exactly what we've come to expect. Nice drop into the void. Just keeping your options open, letting your team come in for the flank as well. Keeps SJP2 large and in charge in this fight. And around the edge of zone, they've done exactly what they need to. SJP2 don't actually have to take the fight up against Zero Tenacity, but they do have to survive the aggression. Nate going very low, Denze on the low ground without being able to disengage, finally gets the Rape Q back up.
02:39:08 Aber mit Naiten zu haben, wie lange kann SJP2 eigentlich überleben? Naiten wird Nasei in den Back! Und es ist SJP2 jetzt mit 2-DOWN! Das ist ein sehr guter Klingel für Zero Tenacity, ein bisschen mehr Hilfe von Afar. SJP2 will go down. Great response von Zero Tenacity. Sie hatten ihre Anker responding, als sie waren geholfen, und sie haben das High Ground Angle für sie. Really forced back to SJP2.
02:39:35 Honestly, once they stopped pressing W was when they were in trouble. Once they started retreating, giving up space to zero tenacity, that was definitely troubling because they kept dropping down to low, dropping down to low, leaving themselves vulnerable from behind. VCGO were able to recover now with their evac tower, get across this wall, but like how they had dropped onto SJP2, will they have to drop onto Ronan? Will they drop onto 10K?
02:40:02 This is one sticky situation into another, but they spied a small pocket to work with you.
02:40:10 Und ich denke, dass sie die Chance zu stabilisieren wird, es nicht zu lassen sie fühlen, in den nächsten paar Minuten zu sein. Das Team War ist wirklich zu tun, zu Atlus, auch. Nicht ein Inch zu breathieren, nicht ein Moment zu fühlen. Scherb looking für eine Entrance. Aber Newcastle ist ein guter Job zu defendern, und viele Nades benutzt von innen. Atlus gibt es die Utilität, um sich Zeit in Team War zu geben.
02:40:37 Ich nehme das sehr. Die Räufe starten zu close, und wenn Team War nicht das Wettbewerb wird, beide Teams gehen. Oh, Sie sehen, dass sie sich vorhanden müssen, aber sie versuchen zu halten, das Choke zu lassen, die Atlus auf der anderen Seite zu nehmen. Jetzt Team War ist unterhalb, und es wird ein Wettbewerb mit der Zone zu verlassen.
02:40:56 Who's still got the utility left? Do we have nades? Because if Atlas on the outside have nades to work with, they're gonna win this fight. As it stands, though, nobody's really winning as Atlas is gonna go down, but the zone is far ahead of Team War. We should be seeing them fall in a matter of seconds as Shalala look to escort another team from the lobby. Calamitous, extremely low, and it'll be the end of Cat as we know them. Chaotic, healing up, resetting with the rest of the team. Great hold for them, and...
02:41:25 Now, mehr fights still break out on the edges. It's gonna be Zipline versus Reply Totem. On the south side of the zone. Reply Totem trying their best to heal back on up. Small little angle there for Weak. And he gets the knock onto Nisa. Now you can see Zipline Mafia jumping on top of them.
02:41:45 Die Zip-Line Mafia extended a little far though, get caught out by the extra damage from WeeQ on the inside, and the Zip-Line Mafia, back in the way for the moment, are looking for some sort of opportunity to reset. Reply Totem gonna get aggressive on this, but again, no nades from WeeQ to defend this angle, leaves him in a 1v2 with no way out of it. Catch, looks to get aggressive, but is gonna back off and finish kills for now, prioritizing points over anything else.
02:42:14 10k start to take out legion themselves the zipline mafia will go down and legion seem to be a foregone conclusion there's no place for ken to hide
02:42:25 Yeah, Legion end up overextending here, trying to take out VCGO, and that allowed the third party to come in, but you can see the instant swerve out. Kaisha tries to come in for that fight, but he will get cleaned up, leaving a lot of this northeast side fairly clear for Ronin now to try and apply pressure on VCGO, but they might be falling into the trap themselves. You can see Aurora now peeking on over, looking for possibly their moment for the third party.
02:42:54 Schalala landet Aurora?
Na'Vi dominiert das späte Spiel: Strategie und Ausführung
02:43:23
02:43:23 Right next door to them. Rather, I guess above them. They're upstairs neighbors. Consider it for now, but we'll see how long that lasts. Yeah, the pruning efforts there from Navi actually creating a lot of free space now for Aurora to drop in, for Rodin to drop in as well. VCGO have somehow still survived with one member remaining. War is also a solo, but now the only one there for this lobby. Cha-la-la, though.
02:43:52 mit dem Pressure, dass sie auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A. auf den Nr.A.
02:44:19 Seem Unstoppable, but still the Zone comes for you, because the Zone comes for everyone, and it will force Sha-La-La down onto the low ground. Glad to see Tyler actually having some discipline with those nades. He had three Thermites, only expended one there. Really just utilized, nevermind the Thermite, no, it's the Mad Maggie Riot Drill, just narrowly missing out. Nobody is getting burned down on it.
02:44:45 Und er ist für Sie zu backen, das durch. Er hat das Survive gemacht, aber... Ja, dass man zu sehen, dass wir ein bisschen low auf Utilität sind, nicht alle unsere Nades zu tun. Wir müssen uns auf unsere Cooldowns auswählen. Great call von Sha-La-La-La-Law zu holen.
02:45:01 Team War will fall and Cybercats on top of this building may be next. This spot extremely hard to defend once we get into the next zone. Azus plays for the moment, plays to maximize his life now and takes out Natsuki in the process. Has a little bit of help from his friends to help evict, slowly but surely, Ronin from this lobby. No safe place for Cybercats to play. They're going to go for a portal, but behind what?
02:45:28 Oh, you can see they have to be careful though. There's still a lot of utility out on the map. Oz is getting tagged down. EMP down as he's forced to hit into the void. Ranches will fall for his efforts. And now MG Clutch aren't able to clutch that one up. But Aurora will go ahead and clean this one out. Ronin and Cybercats now down as Navi try to push out. Sha-la-la here. Tyler FPS will have to back away. Maybe try and find a way to recover Chaotic as K-Sweeney.
02:45:56 Geht's himself reset. Ja, Schallala really do need all three left in the game. Chaotic does have to defend himself from a few nades for now, but as soon as you can get this reset, it lets Schallala expand once again. Right now the team has had to contract, give up so much space that they otherwise held right outside Stasis Array. Then it's letting teams like Navi, Zero Tenacity, Reply Totem, Aurora breathe for the moment. Chaotic is back.
02:46:22 The Heels are gonna go off and everybody, the Lobby holding their breath as we wait for this next zone. Totem takes a chunk out of Aurora, gets slapped right back and Tyler starts getting aggressive again but goes extremely low to do so. Now he's got a kind of isolated out there. Aurora's got two members just on the other side of the wall. They've got to be careful.
02:46:41 Now, they do have a very strong position. It's not the absolute winning position because there's not as much cover. They really need to utilize their gun skill and their cooldowns to try and keep all of these teams contained, but there are just so many angles. Sha La La getting aggressive here, pushing forward. Nice shots there from K-Sweeney to take out two members of Z10, but did they overextend? Now it's just K-Sweeney, and I'm inclined to say yes.
02:47:10 Schalala overplayed their hand, and now Aurora noticing the weakness 101 to the face from Swinney, though, could change everything. This last charge rifle shot not going to connect, and Swinney gets wrapped on by Kazak, takes the 1v1, but it will be Aurora who reclaim the ashes that Schalala left behind. Now it's just Aurora versus Na'Vi. This is the kind of fight we look for here at EMEA. Chaco on the high ground.
02:47:36 Das tut ein guter Dammage, aber braucht den Wraith zu machen. Sie sehen, die High-Ground sind noch sehr stark für Navi. Sie versuchen ihre Angeln zu finden, aber auf der anderen Seite, für Navi, sie haben die Kühldowns. Das ist der Alt, das ist Vig, Slap nicht fallen für den Wraith, und dann hat er viel Dammage, auf 9 Impulse, auf die Kale ist nicht getrennt, Navi hat eine 1-Person-Advantage, Uchako machte es, mit der G7-Hipfire, und Claims das Spiel für Navi!
Na'Vi sichert sich den Sieg: Analyse der Strategie und des Spielverlaufs
02:48:04
02:48:04 Und das ist was wir sprechen über, Dia. Die Abilität von Na'Vi zu convert auf die Zone-Pull. Das war ein bisschen schwer für sie, als wir auf E-District waren. Sie haben das erste Pull-Pull nach City Hall in Game Nr. 1, aber sie konnten ihre Fehler in Game Nr. 3 und jetzt hier in Game Nr. 5 ist Business-as-usual für Na'Vi. Ja, das war eine sehr clean Defense, als du so erwähnt hast, in der Game Jamerson.
02:48:32 Stasis Array, gut spot to defend, and Na'Vi, their only question was how well they'd be able to do it. They extend at the right time, they take the 3v3 against Aurora, but it's the survivability to even get them to that spot in the first place that I found most admirable about their game plan. Yeah, importantly, we saw in game number one, game number two, that they had difficult times really locking down.
02:48:54 um their spots but here in game number five we saw round number one round number three they got very involved in a lot of the fights around the periphery that kind of activity really allowed them to prune out the other uh threats in their area and that made it so much easier for them imagine if there were two three other teams still alive for that zone navi were probably done for if they hadn't done uh the early activity
02:49:19 Yeah, this has been a really good game for Navi. A 24-point finish for them twice what Aurora were able to grab in second. Shalala right behind, I'd say had a pretty good game themselves. I liked their macro approach, although it was a little more risky than Navi's spot in zone. Played around the edge, much like Aurora. Reply totem.
02:49:39 Ja, ich würde sagen, das war eine große Herausforderung für Sha-La-La-Law zu haben, aber es war eine große Herausforderung für Sha-La-La-Law zu haben, aber sie endet auf overextendet, um das Kind aus dem, was Game Nr. 5 war, viele Teams overextendet und getötet für es. Wir sahen es mit 10K, wir sahen es mit, ich glaube, Tenacity, es war so viele Teams machen kleine, kleine Fehler hier, du musst du wissen, wenn du ein bisschen mehr zu spielen.
02:50:08 Ja, das war ein guter Spiel für Navi.
02:50:37 Ja, um...
02:50:59 I think it was around match number three where I was like wait Zero Tenacity formerly what Pengu Power are doing extremely well right now and I it was kind of surprising to me but yeah they have been doing a great job of playing that zone right being able to get into the slow side of the zone but also being active when they need to they are able to keep their keep their back clear and they have been picking up kills along the way while also getting to play some points they're hitting that you know one to one
02:51:28 Placement points and kill point ratio, which is, I think, what most teams really strive for, and they perfectly hit that balance there. It really is kind of aesthetic, just looking at their scoreline. A lot of other teams still looking for their own solution. Was it placement? Is it kills? What's going to carry you to the best victory on Broken Moon? With one more chance to find out, we'll get to do so right after the break.
02:52:02 Es war nur 4 Monate seitdem wir alle zusammengekommen sind. Mit Jahr V1 an der Wege, wir finden uns hier in der Big Easy für die erste, massive, colossal Land des Jahres.
02:52:29 Jetzt ist es auf die Kimchinen.
02:54:14 als er wird er seinen ersten Mal der ALGS-Trofe.
02:54:34 You hear it so often at LAN, the chant, but now it's really true, Jamerson. One more game. One more game left for this day of EMEA. Group A and Group C going up against each other has been an exciting exploration of what Broken Moon brings to the table so far, especially as Group A continue their Super Weekend. Yeah, the great part is heading into our final game of EMEA here for day number four is that we don't have a breakaway squad. We have teams that are performing extremely well.
02:55:01 But unlike our games yesterday, here in game number 6, it's still anyone's game to basically come out on top. Yesterday, of course, we saw Alliance running away with it. We saw 100 Thieves nearly crossing 100 points by the end of the day. But they were clearly going to take the win there by game number 6. So now here, though, we still have, what, three teams basically in the running. And again, it came down to Na'Vi here ultimately in the end, though,
02:55:30 und sie haben diesen Moment für sich selbst gemacht. Und sie haben es durch die gesamten Phasen von diesem gesamten Spiel.
02:55:39 Und wir sehen uns beim nächsten Mal, wir haben die große Werteilung gesehen. Wir haben auch Replytotem gesehen, die in der letzten Woche nicht zu finden. Und Replytotem hat eine gute Spiele heute gemacht, um sich auf die Leaderboards zu positionieren, um sich zu können, um die Region Finale zu machen. Na'Vi hat sie gewonnen. Sie haben zwei Spiele heute gewonnen. Sie haben viele Spiele heute gewonnen. Sie haben viele Spiele heute gewonnen.
02:56:04 In this game, you aren't going to have some of the tools that you might have gotten used to to do it. Fuse, the most picked legend of our last game, will not be available this time around, stymieing a lot of the aggression and specifically the nade spam that we've seen to get some people to the top. Yeah, and surprisingly, here we're into game number six. We still have Newcastle and Catalyst available for a lot of our teams, but...
02:56:32 We're still not even seeing that many new Castles getting picked up. I think there's only been three in the lobby here, but there are a lot more Catalysts for sure. For Na'Vi, the last time we were here in A versus C on Broken Moon, they did really utilize both Cat and New Castle for their victories on Broken Moon, but this time around, they're opting for something completely different. They're going with the Rampart.
02:57:01 Ich bin, ich bin, Rampart, ich werde da mit dir mit dir. Ich weiß nicht, ob es das move ich hätte erwartet, speziell ein paar Wochen vorhin. Newcastle hat nicht so viele Veränderungen gemacht, und es ist eine der wichtigsten Angelegenheit, und es ist eine der wichtigsten Angelegenheit, fast ein Instaband, auf einige Maps, besonders auf Stormpoint. Und Broken Moon, für alle, dass es sehr ähnlich wie Stormpoint spielt, hat es nicht so, dass wir die gleichen Angelegenheit für unsere Defender haben.
02:57:28 I think it can really break down to how we started off the day and how the lobby starts off, right? Looking at our bands, Alter, Ash, Ballistic, Path. It was, and Fuse now, it was very much aggression oriented. And I forget who noted it at Open, but once you start getting these very aggressive bands early on, that's where Newcastle definitely tends to just kind of survive throughout the day. But not only is he surviving, he's not even getting picked up.
02:57:57 All that much here in our final game. So it looks like that aggression will continue. One thing to note. Hey, we've got a Gibraltar coming out here for cats. And I haven't seen that big boy in quite some time. So I'm glad to see that. I think another Mad Maggie pick coming out from BCG. Oh, as well. And so they want to continue on and maybe find some early aggression here, but.
02:58:19 They might not have that opportunity as we've got another pull down now towards Cultivation, but it's further south than what we had in game number four. Yeah, Team War big smiles right now, and Kat, maybe bigger ones if they're able to land a few shots, don't actually connect. And without Blues, Calamitous isn't going to be getting any speed boosts.
02:58:38 Ja, die never-ending battle. The rivalry for the ages between the cats and the cybercats. Oh!
Zero Tenacity triumphiert: Entscheidende Momente und strategische Wendungen
02:59:03
02:59:03 Zip line of Mafia, though. Early aggression might get punished here. The Bangalore somehow surviving, but it's still a one-for-one exchange in this early fight. Denze firing back with the Sheila, so we are seeing a lot of Ramparts prioritized. SJP2 getting flanked right now, have M9 right behind them, but they turn around and double swing it.
02:59:27 If they need to, go for that Zone 3, Zone 4 slam, especially from this area.
02:59:56 Es wird nicht die Worte in der Welt sein, aber es scheint, dass sie weiter in die Zone gehen, stattdessen nach ZipLine Mafia. So, das wird die Möglichkeit, ZipLine Mafia zu kommen für den Reset. Aber für sie, sie haben Ronin, um zu Atmos Station zu kommen. Minder ist auch von Terraformer. So, das könnte eine Möglichkeit für Points, um die Ronin-Side zu farmen. Für SJP-2, um die Eastern-Edge zu kommen und hier zu spielen.
03:00:26 will be very strong for them going further into the zone though you can see there on the western side we've got a lot of teams already moving on in and so got a pile of already of nemesis of war go next atlas all here on the southwest um portion of the map but really there's no impetus idea for any of these teams to make an aggressive move there's plenty of space to play around
03:00:53 Und ich denke, wir haben einen höheren Mid-Games für ihn. Ja, du musst nicht so aggressiv sein. Es scheint, unsere Teams sind bereit zu spielen, etwas mehr zu den Schenken, speziell als das letzte Spiel ist. Ein vieles Wettbewerb ist aus dem Spiel, und auch aus dem Faktor, dass du nicht die letzte Spiel, deine letzte Chance zu machen, auf den Standings zu machen, für ein 3v3. 10k!
03:01:22 We're looking for a cheeky fight, maybe to cheese some kills early on, but they don't find it. And we'll start to move their way through Quarantine Zone in the center of the map. This is still pretty far from where we're ending up. And where we're ending up is Cultivation, where Na'Vi rules supreme. Reply Totem find that out real quickly. And Babylon's comes in to serve Na'Vi a little bit of humble pie. Might even be going back for seconds here, as with the R9 reloaded.
03:01:50 Oh, Slab's gone. Oh, he didn't get it.
03:02:17 Es ist wirklich schwierig für Ochako zu nicht beobachten, Hiyarka's Banner.
03:02:46 I know that he was going for it, but with the Sheila, just wasn't quite able to get the traction on the banner. And Navi leaves slab to craft. Crafting not available in Terraformer. I think we've got one available in Atmos Station, but as we noted earlier, Atmos Station pretty crowded.
03:03:06 Anyway, everyone's really at this point. You've got Kat and Legion off to the northeast side. So he's got to hope that they're a little bit preoccupied with each other to find an opportunity to try and craft and get his teammates back on in. But luckily, because Na'Vi, one of the teams coming in from the north side, they have a general idea of the kind of traffic coming in.
03:03:30 And where he should run to try and find it so yeah all the way over towards cliffside is gonna be I believe Where they can go get the craft get the res and get him back on in and hopefully Maintain their position here in the lead and keep them really in the running Seems like it works. I'm surprised to see Navi find such a
03:03:51 Das ist eine Risky-Solution, eine der sie so weit in die Unkönne, so weit aus der Spielplan, die sie vorhin haben. Aber wenn es funktioniert, funktioniert es. Und ich kann nicht Fault Navi, speziell wenn sie alle wieder in und machen die Spiel für den Win. Schallala machen jetzt, um gegen die 1 Gibi wir hatten in die Lobby. Swinney, die Stinger-Bolt aus und senden es zurück nach sie.
03:04:15 Cybercats not looking too hot in this engagement as Shalala have done a great job of dipping, diving and dancing around to avoid damage and find kills. Ranches will fall to a nice explosive arrow. Not something I've been seeing a lot. Yeah, we haven't really been seeing the bowcheck bow being utilized so far today. It's been a lot of the R9, the nemesis, along with, well, the devotion. Navi, though, we get the notification, we'll be able to get that.
03:04:43 Rez all the way deep into Stasis Ray. One thing I wanted to note though, Sha'Lala taking that risk, but it does seem like they had the Survey Beacon possibly over at Underpass utilized to know that they had a fairly isolated fight there. We were talking about the risks being taken by Navi, by Sha'Lala, but we know that Sha'Lala...
03:05:07 They are not, um, strangers to taking risks in winning positions like that whatsoever. Hell, they're even in match number five. We saw them take extreme risks and, um, kind of throwing away game number five, but still. This is a team that, you know, feeds off of this aggression, does like to go for those high KP games, and will often opt for the aggressive move than the safer move.
03:05:34 Sie spielen zu gewinnen, und in ein paar Worte, die Schalala getrennt zu spielen, sodass andere Menschen verlieren. Und das kann sich...
03:05:44 An exciting time for, at least us, as viewers. Zipline Mafia haven't really been drawn into any particular game plan today. In fact, they've been oscillating between going for kills, getting aggressive on E-District, now having a much more conservative game plan when we've moved over to Broken Moon. And it could be a difference between map play, but some of it from the outside does seem to be Zipline Mafia struggling for identity right now. Not exactly sure what their best game plan is, given the way that the zones, the traps...
03:06:14 Die Zip-Line-Mafia werden mit dem Zip-Line-Mafia verabschieden.
03:06:38 Crosshairs on them and Kat barreling down. Kat do have the opportunity, just like Aurora, to move right on past them if Zipline Mafia are active enough to apply pressure onto them. And it looks like they did show enough presence where Kat kind of want to move around. But again, now that they're eating a lot of this zoned damage, the fight's going to come to them. And you know that Ronin, as soon as a fight breaks out here on the edge, are going to try and third party it.
03:07:10 Looking out for the third party. Aurora ist set up. Navi could actually come in on this.
03:07:20 Looks like they're going for it. Starting to crawl their way up. Kat make their way past Ronin, as you predicted earlier. The Zipline Mafia actually finding some kills for themselves. I believe that's onto Kat. A knock, a full thirst, and a little bit of momentum reclaimed for the Zipline Mafia. It was a good move for Zipline Mafia. They moved up towards the mountainside to the north of them to keep a little bit of their back clear as they tried to keep...
03:07:49 Aber die E-Vac-Tower hat sie ein bisschen weiter. Wir sehen, ob sie die Rez auf den Kräck. Aber für Na'Vi, die haben völlig geholfen, sie sind noch weitergekommen. Wir sehen, ob Hierarcha, natürlich, kann ihn auf den Perf auf den Perf. Aber es ist Ronin jetzt, um gegen Zip-Line Mafia zu machen.
03:08:13 High ground belongs to Ronin. No shots fired just yet, but even though they may be late, they find Purchase. Door's not closed behind them. You can't leave your door open for Ronin. Natsuki slides in, and we will see a quick eviction from this territory. Ronin, do not play games. Or rather, the ones they do are simply good Apex Legends. Zipline Mafia are gone. Very disrespectful play from Zipline Mafia. Yeah.
03:08:42 Sie waren nicht geholfen, aber sie wollten das Schlauch-Side des Zones. Sie sehen jetzt, dass Ronin in den Zonen ist. Aber sie hätten die Möglichkeit, das Schlauch-Side zu spielen. Oder Schlauch-Lauch. Sie finden sich in eine Bühne mit, ich glaube, 10km above sie. Und wieder, Schlauch-Lauch.
03:09:08 Will not shy away from a fight if it comes to them. It's another isolated one, I believe. With Na'Vi now running in with the zone here on the north side. They've got Legion Gaming shadowing their angle. And really, that might be their only option. With Aurora, with Ronin barreling down onto them from that south side here. Na'Vi have to keep an eye on two fronts. But I think...
03:09:33 Now, mit der Möglichkeit zu kommen für eine 3rd Party gegen Ronan und Aurora, das ist großartig für Navi.
03:09:40 They just have to pick their moment. Right now, stuck between making sure that Legion don't go for them, and good lord, no one's able to collapse onto Shalala. This team cannot be stopped. At least in this sixth game, Shalala have dialed things up a notch, have become extremely deadly around the edge of the map, and it's up to them whether they can convert that into a win. Shalala have gotten aggressive before in a way that's gotten the better of them, but this game...
03:10:09 Es muss sie werden, dass sie in den zweiten Wind wiederkommen sind, um sie zu treffen, um Navi zu treffen.
03:10:23 Sie haben nicht viele Optionen. Wir haben schon Teams holen. Nemesis auf der Nordseite der aktuellen Zone. War als auch. Und jetzt haben wir eine große Pile-up von Teams in die Nordseite. Legion Gaming, Mide, und Schalala, wieder zu VCGO.
03:10:41 Schalala, die Riff belongs to them. Unfortunately, a few too many sightlines are on the roof right now. And a very awkward portal, very awkward ult expenditure comes in from Tyler, denying the team the opportunity to move later on. As this zone will push them together with another squad. That opportunity to move is going to be critical. Out goes to Stingerbolt from Swinney. The aggressive play kicks off here. Slow is great for Schalala.
03:11:07 Und sie bekommen die ersten paar Knochen. Kainer geht auf. Sicherheit für Sha-Lala in dieser Gebäude. Es ist so viel passiert. Man kann es nicht hören, Chaotix Devotion zu hören. Aber wenn man das, man wusste, muss man gehen. Sie versuchen zu gehen, aber Sha-Lala zu gehen. Aber Sha-Lala sind keine Prise zu nehmen. Na'Vi, auf dieser Run-In, verliert auf Hierarcha. Und ich glaube, das ist Sha-Lala's Riot Drill.
03:11:32 Now forcing them out of position along with Thermite, but it doesn't quite connect onto them. They've been able to peek out a corner for themselves here, but they are still looking for a little bit more Arshalala.
03:11:45 Sheila, the greatest deterrent in Apex Legends, keeps Na'Vi alive for right now. Again, what is with Na'Vi and just walking by, being unable to pick up banners? Slab doesn't grab that one, even with the Wraith. And Na'Vi, still with just two members up, are fighting a war of attrition that they are slowly but surely losing. Nemesis is going to go down.
03:12:11 Let's keep our eyes at how long Navi are able to survive. VCGO, biting the dust as well. Yeah, luckily for Navi, Shalala aren't able to apply as much pressure onto them. They've got GoNex right underneath, and like you had mentioned before, being in the sightlines of Atlas on that rooftop is going to afford Navi some space here. For Team War though, they've been playing this one out super patiently, as of course they have the ring pulling down towards them.
03:12:37 Aber jetzt sind sie endlich gezwungen. Es ist ein Rohr, das ist in die Position in der Mitte des Zones. Team War wollen die Nord-Side auf die Norte als möglich. Na'Vi jetzt endlich gezwungen, excuse me, gezwungen, bei Schalala. Aber sie sind gezwungen. Nades kommen in Chaotik, zu der 3rd. Tyler Falls. Schalala, nur zu viele.
03:13:02 Ja, Na'vi haben sich geholfen, und...
03:13:29 Jetzt sind nur drei Punkte in der Lied mit Schalalas Aggression, mit all den Kill Points zu bekommen. Sie sind hier mit 65 Punkte, also das ist wichtig für ihn zu raten. Nur ein paar Position Points. Und das wird es. Ein weiter Team Knocked Out. Das ist ein mehr Punkt für Schalalas zu bekommen. Aber er muss noch nach dem Top-3 zu übernehmen.
03:13:56 Zero Tenacity. Could be the thing that makes that a bit more difficult. Pushing teams into each other from the opposite side of the zone. Let's take a look at the minimap. Shalala still hiding next to GoNext in Atlas. But Swinny's gonna take the risk. Move out. I think GoNext are watching this with one member on the outside. Shalala will go down. Now for Zero Tenacity. They can try and punish this move out from GoNext.
03:14:25 Sie sehen, dass sie sich nicht mehr über die Gefahr der Aurora vorzunehmen. Sie sehen, die walls sind auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der... auf der...
03:14:45 Z10 hat 3.
03:15:13 Sie haben 60 Punkte, nur einen Punkt hinter sie. Sie müssen auch so viel wie möglich sein, um alles zu machen, was wir können hier erreichen. Aber Zero Tenacity gegen Aurora könnte es passieren, jetzt geht es weiter. Kann Zero Tenacity collecten die erste kill? Kann Zero Tenacity collecten die weiter? Aurora, in dieser corner, spielt ihre beste Spiel, spielt ihre Leben, und Zero Tenacity afraid of taking a risk.
03:15:39 Lest they lose their chance at first place. Nice shot from Fyuta. Keeps Atlas in the corner. One KP and the win is what Zero Tenacity need here to overtake Na'Vi. They could also try and take a little bit more of an active role throughout all this, but I think waiting it out for the win is the safer play for them.
03:16:01 Jetzt sehen wir die Chaos-Battlefield-Katwall runter. Zerotenacität von den resten der Battlefield. Go-next. Vielleicht versuchen zu versuchen, Atlus zu versuchen. Aber Sie sehen, dass es so viele Variables gibt. Dreihard-Thor gets einen Nog. Da ist Z-Tend, zwei Kills zu bekommen. Das könnte Z-Tend werden. Sie können die Win-Win für sich selbst machen.
03:16:20 Und sie machte eine Spiel für 1st hier, Wallen auf die zwei restlichen Gruppen, Atlus und Aurora. Aber sie wissen, dass Aurora und Atlus nicht wollen, besonders nicht Atlus, mit der 1-Member leften. So diese Wallen wird es umsohlt. Zero Tenacity, mit einem großen Ultimat, und Aurora, auf die richtige Zeit zu erzeugen, um es zu erzeugen. Und Aurora, auf die richtige Zeit zu erzeugen, um es zu erzeugen. Und Aurora machte ihre Spiel für die win. Sie geben auf Pipe zu Zero Tenacity, und Füda hat keine Probleme, um sie zu erzeugen.
03:16:48 Wow! How close was that? Na'Vi go down with 68 points and Z10 needed the win.
03:17:11 Und einfach nur eine Kiel-Pointe. Aber sie haben vielleicht vier mehr auf der Ende. Also sehr, sehr stark, Choy. Aber wie du schon gesagt hast, es war eine große Wall, aus Zero Tenacity zu kommen. Das Katwall wirklich aus Atlus, mit Aurora zu verabschieden.
03:17:29 Ja, ich fand die Idee.
03:17:55 von Aurora zu drop down und versuchen, die gegen Zero Tenacity zu gewinnen. Aber dann, wie du gesagt, dass sie da stehen. In dieser low ground, wo sie einfach nur... Sie waren einfach nur da. Ich meine, es war scary zu sehen, Raine. Du kannst du verstehen, dass die Pressure gettet ihr in diesen Endgames, besonders wenn du, Aurora, bist du in einem besser Platz auf der Leaderboard, als Zero Tenacity.
03:18:16 100% Aurora are definitely finding themselves in the middle of juggernauts in this tournament today, just going back and forth. We saw VCGO kind of jump out to the start of it and make sure that everyone felt the pressure. Nemesis go next, stayed around quite a bit, and then Ronan and Sha Allah were leading the entire time away. So Aurora just trying to find their place in that element, but the team that we didn't see coming.
03:18:39 Because there was no reason to see them coming, except towards the latter half of this day, match day, was Zero Tenacity, who found themselves with multiple 20-plus point games, but only one win. These guys had an amazing showcase. Second place in Game 3 with 15 kills. Second place in Game 4 with 4 kills. Fifth place in Game 5 with 5 kills. And then, of course, first place win.
03:19:07 10 kills. That's enough, we think, to get them to first place overall. Myze, Feuda, Vaynex from Z Tenacity doing what any thought would be unthinkable. Good stuff from Aurora. Atlas go next, inshallah. They're in that final zone. It was a fun one to watch, guys, and break down. But, you know, this is the way that we love to see EMEA showcase. It's Zero Tenacity with that win.
03:19:32 that take the day, surpassing Nadis Fincier, Sha-La-La, Go Next Ronin, and ultimately stealing the headline.
03:19:39 Yeah, this is a really huge day for Zero Tenacity. His first place on a single match day does so much for you. And they didn't start the day in a terrible spot either. Zero Tenacity still had a fighting chance starting off the day in 12th and just needing to have a good day to keep them in top 20. Jumping up now with the first place on a match day is going to boost them into certainly regional finals territory. They can, I don't want to say take their foot off the gas for the rest of the season, but the focus won't be so much.
03:20:08 Ja, Jamersen, es war ein tolles Day all around. Wir sagen Juggernauts, aber ich denke, bis die letzten zwei Spiele, es war anybody's matchday. Und es war über die Zeit, die zu nehmen.
03:20:29 Ja, ich meine, wenn du den Punkt spielst, zwischen den drei Mitgliedern, es gibt nur vier von der ersten und der zweiten. Also, das split zwischen der zweiten und der zweiten. Also, das war sehr nahe. Und du sah das...
03:20:42 Es war eine Unterschiede von Zero Tenacity und Schalalal, die wir beide versuchen zu übernehmen. Schalalal, die wir in ihren eigenen Händen nehmen können.
03:21:06 Es geht darum, dass beide Stylen noch nicht funktionieren können. Ich bin glücklich, dass alle die Veränderungen, die Sha-La-La are still mit einem sehr starken Identity spielen. Aber ich denke, für Zero Tenacity zu finden, auf diese Gameday zu finden, besonders gegen eine Team wie Na'Vi, die auch in der Zone spielen, und sie haben auch gegen die Aggression von Sha-La-La, und sie sind auch in der Lage zu halten. Es ist ein sehr starkes Schöhn, um in den Rest des Spiels zu finden.
03:21:29 Well, I'm excited to talk a little bit more about the micro elements of that last endzone. We'll get to it in a bit, but we are still waiting for those overall standings. And let's just kind of set the table, I guess, auditorily. Oh, well, it looks like we've got some graphics to back us up there. I was going to say Na'Vi in a great spot still. Obviously, they played so well, so consistent, came in leading a second place. That's going to be enough to stay in the leaderboards, especially where the game played above.
03:21:58 wie Allianz und Z10. Aber look at Z10, 53 Punkte. Ich meine, sie sind noch nicht auf die Passe, aber eine 25-Win. Das würde sie in eine Position zu stellen, Diener zu sein, zwei Punkte hinter Navi in diesem Jahr. So wirklich eine große, große, große Moment für sie, um, was könnte ein Average-Season sein, jetzt haben sie eine Chance zu machen. Ja, ich bin vielleicht ein...
03:22:27 Top name, or rather household name, I think is what I'm looking for, in EMEA. Z10 can start that Split off here, and then see how far they can run with it, because again, this does set the stage for so many larger things in Apex as well. Split 1 really gearing up towards the midseason playoffs has to be the focus, and for a lot of these teams now getting their first entry onto Broken Moon of the Split, there's no better time to start rounding out all your maps.
03:22:53 Well, it's always exciting to see how these things finish, especially when it comes down to just a few points. And sometimes those points are kills. That last little final hit could make the difference between those huge points going into your overall standings or, you know, finding yourself missing out on a big playoff opportunity. Well, our Sony Endzone Kill Leader Race was just as close as you can see, but it was between four, six different people separated by one kill and often tied.
03:23:22 15 für Fenix und Feuta, ein Chaotik mit Tyler-FPS, 14 selbst. Und Jamerson, ich liebte das Final-Zone, weil nicht nur Feuta war, warum er das Kill-Zone war, in Zone-Leader hat, er hat so viel Health-Back gemacht. Er hat ein bisschen Dammage gemacht, aber man sieht, wie er das Health-Back gemacht hat. Ja, und natürlich auch die Kontrolle, die man hat. Aber man sieht, die Team zu spielen, LOS zu spielen.
03:23:50 Es war nicht so viel zu tun, in dem Cover zu tun. Er hat die Leitepost und die Lowground, aber es war sehr nahe. Ich glaube, es war das Singer-Bolt an der Ende, der ihn auszultert. Und es war Glück für ihn, natürlich, dass er in die Position für das Win zu bekommen hat. Es war ein sehr guter Show für ihn. Ich meine, wir sahen, dass in den Tag, Zero-Tenacity, wir sind...
03:24:16 Very active regardless of The points excuse me regardless of the phase of the game and so that is reflected in his overall performance and the kills that he was able to pick up
03:24:30 Well, it's great to see Futa on the squad. I can't wait to talk a little bit more about how he's impacted this team and how a former world champion in another esport has found himself to be a matchday champion in the esport he's been playing for the last few years. You know him, you love him. I know him. I love him. He's, of course, our main man, Phoenix from Zero Tenacity. Phoenix, what's up, buddy? How you doing? What's up? How you been?
03:24:55 Was good man. Hey, it's always great to talk to you. Always great to see you. I saw you a little bit recently and it's just awesome to see you guys succeeding here. I love this match day and I kind of want to dive in. You know, you and Futa and Misey, talk to me about this team. What do you love about the way you guys have been able to be effective today and walk me through just kind of why things have been working for you guys so well.
03:25:21 Ich meine, es ist kind of weird, weil wir meistens sehr gut gemacht haben und dann enden wirklich schlecht und das, wie wir uns die Zeit haben. Aber dieses Mal, das war eigentlich der andere Weg. Wir hatten einen wirklich schwer start und hatten einen wirklich guten Spiel. Und ich denke, das ist der Grund, warum es funktioniert ist, weil ich glaube, dass wir einfach mit confidence waren. Ich denke, das war es. Even wenn wir zwei baden Spiels in waren, wir waren immer confident, dass wir es können. Wir haben uns gehalten, wir haben uns gehalten, wir haben uns gehalten, wir haben uns gehalten. Und ich denke, das, mit den Rollen befinden, ist das, was das, was gewonnen hat.
03:25:50 You know, this is going to sound weird, but I have to tell you, I've really enjoyed your play since you were on Forg Gang a long time ago. That team was so much fun to me. I remember watching you guys in a couple third-party tournaments and really having a blast. And you as an IGL have gone through so many rosters and so many metas. Now that we've had the Open...
03:26:10 And we've moved into the release of Sparrow, the bow being back on the ground, all of this. How is it impacting your read on the meta, other EMEA teams read on the meta, and how are you approaching it as a really history at IGL?
03:26:25 Ich meine, ich meine, ich meine, ich habe noch nie Probleme mit meinen anderen Spielern. Ich liebe sie, ich liebe sie. Und dieses Roster ist einfach so. Es ist einfach so. Es ist einfach so. Es ist einfach so. Es ist einfach so. Es ist einfach so. Es ist einfach so. Ich weiß, Krypto ist gut. Ich weiß, Krypto ist gut. Ich weiß, Krypto ist gut. Krypto ist extrem stark. Aber als IGL, manchmal, du kannst du in dieses Prisoner, wo du musst in Krypto spielen. Und jetzt kannst du Sparrow spielen. Und jetzt kannst du Sparrow spielen. Und jetzt kannst du Sparrow spielen. Und ich kann nicht nur auf meine Drone 24-7. Ich kann mich so. Es ist so schön.
03:26:53 I'm sorry about that. Yeah, I mean, overall, we're talking, of course, being out of crypto jail, but how has it been like for you just adjusting to having to pick up so many more or play so many more new legends with the legend band system coming in? I mean, you have a lot of things shaking up, right? Roster changes, things like that happening. But now you're also adding on having to really re-familiarize yourself with other legends.
03:27:18 Walk us through that and really how that affects your performance throughout the matchday as you change through those legends. I mean, honestly, the betting system is amazing because I'm just thinking back to every first game.
03:27:31 Alter always gets banned, because Alter is so annoying. You get a knock, they teleport away. A team ensue, they teleport away. People get away with so much stuff. I'm sure it's nice. You're playing Zone, you can do some stuff. But oh my, it's annoying. People get away with murder sometimes. It's actually insane. So I'm glad there's a Legend ban. I love playing War Legends. Like I said, I've been in Crypto Jill. I think I played like four different characters today. It's amazing. It's actually nice to be able to play other characters for once. This ban system is amazing, because all of us just get still. Everyone just plays the same call.
03:28:01 Es gibt eine Mirror-Match-up. Ich fühle mich, heute ist es, die Leute, oder die Legend werden gebeten, mit 10 bis 11 Picks. Weil es so viele Variety gibt. Variety gibt es jetzt.
03:28:12 I mean, you know, you could tell you guys have a lot of strong energy. Obviously, you're going to be hyped up after taking the win in match day. It means a lot for your overall standings, too. But you yourself, I mean, let's talk about your personal performance, you know, putting together some of the clips for how we do this show. You look at highlights, you look at things. You and FUTA, you guys had highlights across the board all throughout today, and you actually ended up tying for first in our Kill Leader race. Just walk me a little bit through your own performance. And, you know, were shots just landing? Was it just, you know, the vibes were high?
03:28:41 was it, man? Why were you so effective today?
03:28:46 I think it started in Game 3, because Game 1 and 2, I basically IGL'd this into death two games in a row, and I felt really bad for my team, because, you know, obviously they don't get to play, they just listen to me, and then they just die, because they listen to me. And then Game 3, I was like, you know what, I will step on my game. First of all, I died for free again. Pretty bad play by me, don't get me wrong. But then I got like nine kills that game or something, all of a sudden I was just hitting. I had a one to two of my R9, it's like an ugly scope, but somehow it was working, so I'm going to try to death me more.
03:29:14 Was actually hitting, so the one to do might just be goaded. I have no clue. I think it was just the fact that I was off the Crypto. I just wanted to shoot my gun so bad. And it actually worked. And I think that's why I finally got the kills. You're like, they let you out of Crypto. You're like, man, I got to take advantage of this moment. Otherwise, I might go back. They might send me back if I don't hit my shots. Oh, no. Exactly. Exactly what happened. I was like, if I do bad, I'm stuck.
03:29:37 Yeah, dude, always a blast to talk to you, buddy. We'll let you go, but congratulations on the win. Thanks for the interview and good luck with the rest of the season. Thank you guys so much for having me. I appreciate it.
03:29:50 All right, Phoenix, of the incredible performance, top kill leaderboard, next to FUTA, Zero Tenacity, take the win in EMEA Match Day 5, and they do it in style. Guys, final thoughts as we close out EMEA, kind of get ready to turn our attention towards the other region coming up later. DL, I'll start with you.
03:30:08 I mean, it's a big day, especially when we're introducing Broken Moon and the first time that we're going to see Group C since the Open. It's clear that there's still a lot of chaos as we sort through what the new meta means and especially what the new map means. And that was really apparent in EMEA. I am wondering how this transition over to NA, especially after Funk talked so much trash today. Are we going to see a little bit more?
03:30:34 Ja, ich fühle mich diese Gruppe in particular, besonders mit all den Roster Shake-ups und was passiert in der Lobby und, you know, haben 18 Teams overall, hat sich das ein viel mehr als man erwähnt. Aber wir haben 19 Teams in den Matches gestern, und so es war nicht so viel ein Wild West show hier als es war, aber ich bin hier für die Chaos. Ich bin hier für...
03:31:02 Es ist nicht perfekt, all die Zeit, wenn es zu Apex Legends gibt. Und so, wenn du Teams mit ein paar mehr Risiken hast, es wird viel mehr spannend sein, zu sehen. Wir waren über Sha-La-Alan und die Risiken, dass sie sich über die Überraschung haben. Ich freue mich, dass sie das Spiel aussehen. Ich freue mich, dass wir sehen, dass es, dass es so weit weg ist, von der Perfect Play. Ich möchte diese Risiken.
03:31:27 It's just making things feel a lot more alive. Big shout out. We love the changes to the Legend Band system and it seems like the players are loving it too. I know Zero Tenacity are loving it today. Great stuff. And Amia, thank you guys as well. Time to take a little bit of a break before we get ready for coming up in just a bit, our North America region. That's right. We'll be back online with a chance to go ahead and talk about NA. Funk was talking a little smack.
03:31:55 Saying to me I didn't know how to rotate, I mean Funk. We'll find out because America is going to have to put on a show that's equally as scintillating as what we just saw. A final game six takeover from third place to first to close it out.
03:32:09 I love it. Guys, follow us on Play Apex Esports on X of Twitch.tv slash Play Apex on Twitch and YouTube.com slash Play Apex Esports to keep up to date with all things ALGS. It's been fantastic. Congratulations to Zero Tenacity. Good stuff, Dia and Jamerson. Of course, I've been your host, Rain Day. We'll see you all in just a bit for North America to don't go anywhere.
