ALGS Year 4 Split 1 Day 4: Teams A & B Face Off
00:09:54
00:09:54 Welcome back to Year 4 of ALGS Split 1, Day 4. Happy Sunday! I am so excited today because last week we saw the end of the first round robin run. Say that five times fast, I dare you. Anyways, now we're going to see Teams A and B go back at it again today. Now, before we get to Game 1, we have a lot to talk about, but thankfully, I don't have to do it alone. I'm Stella Chung, and today I'm joined by the incredible Onset.
00:10:22 Hello, how are you doing? Thank you very much for the introduction, Stella. Hello everyone at home, and good news or bad news, depending on how you want to look at it, we are going to be over a third of the way through this season after the game day is done today, which means that points are starting to be at a premium for everybody who's playing in this lobby today. It's going to be a lot of fun, but also a lot of Syrian business to take care of. Oh yeah, and to help us break down that business, and someone else who is also quite premium, welcome Gaskin, hello!
00:10:49 I have been known to be pretty premium. Yeah, it's not the first time someone said that. Great to be here, of course. Excited for another match weekend. I can't wait to get into it. I mean, we've seen these two groups go up against each other already, so I kind of have an idea of what to expect. But of course, teams would have had a chance to kind of change things, change their drop spots, change their plan. We'll see what happens. Yeah, also, can I just say how handsome this caster box looks today? Like, not to say, not to be a little bit, you know.
00:11:19 We look great today and I am so excited, but I do want to talk about a team that we have always seen be really great. And I'm really sad about this news because I am a huge Yuki fangirl, right? So let's go ahead and talk about the Alliance roster change onset. I am devastated. Yeah, I mean, we're all sad. This is going to be the last week that we do see Yuki on this roster. And I mean, it kind of harks back to what we were talking about at the start of the season, which was Alliance were the team to beat.
00:11:45 und Dinge haben sich nicht gut für sie und Yuki hat gesagt, dass es seine Zeit zu einfach gehen. Und Allianz ist natürlich auch noch ein Pick-Up. Aber es ist eine Chance, ich glaube, was Yuki gebracht hat zu Apex Legends. Er ist ein fantastischer Spieler, einer der meisten Clutch-Player, wie wir sehen. So viele große Momente haben sich gemacht, von der Sicht von Yuki gesehen. Und, you know, eine Sache, die wir alle sagen können, ich glaube, ist, dass die Apex Legends-Community wurde ein bisschen weniger Handsome, weil der Mann ist weg, unfortunately. Aber, you know, es ist sad zu sehen, aber wir sehen uns Yuki-Gameplay heute.
00:12:14 Und ich freue mich, dass er sich auf das Roster und ich freue mich, ob er kann, wenn er etwas speziell ist, wenn er das letzte Mal spielt.
00:12:20 I hope so. We're going to talk more about Alliance later, but also Gaskin, I wanted to, I know obviously Yuki's still going to be a sub, but do you have any dream team pairings for the next third? There's a reason why I changed my hair. There is rumors suggesting that Alliance want to pick me up, but I can't guys. I can't. All right. I have prior commitments. I have to commentate. Honestly, I don't think we'll see like a previous Alliance member. I think that it's likely we'll see someone new come into it. Mark was talking before the stream.
00:12:47 Probably a controller player, because that seems to be the meta at the moment. One mouse and keyboard, two controllers. So I expect them to kind of dig around, see if they can find any top fraggers, and then someone's going to get the lucky chance to join an incredible organization like Alliance. Yeah, Ansu, do you agree with that? No IPNs return or anything? As funny as it would be, I think, yeah, the controller fragger is going to be certainly one they're looking for. Maybe a controller anchor player, someone who can play on their catalyst.
00:13:13 But we know that Alliance like to mix their comps up probably more than anyone. So someone who's a little bit flexible. I think if you're at the top of the kill leaderboards, you're probably keeping an eye on your DMs over the next few days. Yeah. All right. Well, let's also keep our eye out on the overall standing so far. Speaking of those standings, we're going to be taking a look at Aurora in first place after two series played, obviously, with 46 points. And that's...
00:13:38 A pretty decent jump from UEM in 2nd with 35. Now, all the numbers going from 2 to 10 seem pretty even throughout. But Onset, take us through the next pair of teams here.
00:13:50 It would be my pleasure, Stella, to look at the middle of the table. And this is the teams who are going to have to maybe step up a little bit. They're the ones who are having to find consistency. I think they've had a pretty good couple of game days. And if you have good game days consistently, you're probably going to make it through to LAN. But there's a lot of work to be done, of course. And some of these teams, obviously, are not going to be in the EMEA region. But hopefully we can get that updated for you guys at home. And if you're not, just take a look elsewhere. Helikopedia's got you covered. And we can make sure those standings will be up to date.
00:14:20 Yeah, Gaskin, how about 21-30? This is, as I call it, the highway to the danger zone, Stella. This is where people don't really want to be. This is where the teams have to be changing and have to be getting ready to move on in. And of course, when we get those right and ready...
00:14:37 We could look into it. But it's going to be A and B competing today. And I'm very excited, Stellar, because we have some massive squads. And when we saw A and B first go up against each other, when this split began, we were wondering, like, what contest were we going to see? Which teams were going to jump out? But we have already seen a few squads that have really stepped up.
Überraschungen und Strategien: ANC Outplayed, LVH und Element 6 im Fokus
00:14:55
00:14:55 Ja, so we all saw these teams play each other. So we're going into today with definite expectations of all the participants here. So I do want to talk about some of the teams that are doing better than we expected, which is always a lovely surprise. So I want to talk about a team that I have also talked about last week, but ANC outplayed. I mean, they showed up and they have this amazing roster of Andy Jax, Shex, Madfrax, and they have been doing really well. They had 59 points day one.
00:15:23 They were able to turn around their games. I mean, they are in 7th place right now. And you can see from the percentages here, Stormpoint is kind of their weaker map. But World's Edge, they obviously shine here. They've been really great at playing rotations, taking up space. I mean, their circle positioning has aided them in getting higher placements. And you know what? We can't ignore LVH, who's not that far behind, outplayed, tied at 9th place right now with LCDF on set.
00:15:50 Ja, LVH kam durch die Qualifiers in die Pro-League und es ist nicht so wie es eine neue Squad, mit Spielern, die nicht in die Pro-League waren. Du hast Vifes, Du hast J-Hanzo und Du hast Liefen. Und Speaking of Liefen, he ist 3rd in den overallen Kills, mit 24 Kills zu seinem Namen. Aber eine Sache, wie Sie sehen, ist die Welt's Edge. Weil Welt's Edge ist abysmal für sie so far. Sie haben 2.3 Punkte per Spiel, das nicht zu werden.
00:16:19 Ja, und dann schauen wir uns mal auf meine Teams mit einem Favourite Logo, das ich gesehen habe. 2Ratsk 1 Controller ist ein Team, das einfach nur ein Team ist, zu ehrlich sagen. Sie sind ein Team mit 14 bis 15 Points so far, die sie haben, und über die beiden Maps, das ich denke, was sehr wichtig ist hier. Wenn man es mit LV Edge compare, zu Outplayed, zu R1C-Duo, auf both Stormpoint und World's Edge, das wird extrem wichtig sein.
00:16:48 Was ist der nächste Level für dieses Team?
00:16:55 And obviously your squad is very consistent on both maps, which I'm kind of jealous of. But we also want to talk about teams that have been very consistent overall in their performances with this full round robin run. So last week I also spoke about Element 6. And they were definitely giving ANC a run for their money with their roster of Oslab, CJ, and K. Swinney. So when we saw this group last, E6 had 61 points day one. But day two, we did see them slide into third place with 26 points.
00:17:23 07 07 07 07
00:17:48 Ja, 07. All right, Natsky, here's your soundbite that you can talk about on stream and, you know, have a conversation about it because I know you love to do so. I had some reservations about this squad coming into this season, but it has been business as usual. But I will kind of put an asterisk by that. Natsky, Nags, and Amphi, there's been some really big games when you've needed it, and you have put those performances in when you needed it. One real big standout stat for me.
00:18:11 Das ist, dass sie drei Top 5 geschehen sind. Aber von diesen drei, sie haben zwei von diesen Spielen gewonnen. Das ist die Aufmerksamkeit, wenn du in die Top 5 gewonnen hast. Aber Storm Point hat sich schon sehr gut gemacht. World's Edge, der Old Favourite ist, ist es, wo sie die Majorität hat. So, wenn sie ihre Storm Point verbessern, und sie sind ein bisschen auf die Tuff Rotate, dann sind sie 07.
00:18:32 Und dann haben wir Auglis & Hungry, ein weiteres Team, die sich über die beiden Spiele gespielt haben, wie wir erwähnt haben. Metafi Unlucky ist ein unglaublicher Trio, die gewinnen und haben so großartig. Sie sind sehr gefährlich, wie viele Punkte sie können in nur ein einzigen Spiel geben können. Sie werden eine Victory plus 13 Kills in der ersten Woche gewonnen haben. Ich glaube, Auglis & Hungry sind eine wirkliche Herausforderung in der EMEA Region, aber sie funktionieren wie wir erwähnen.
Teamstrategien und Herausforderungen: 07, CypherCats und Vamo Querer im Blickpunkt
00:18:59
00:18:59 Yeah, we always love talking about teams and their strategies. But speaking of 07, we actually got to speak with Natsky about his team strategies this year. So let's take a look. Hey, I'm Natsky. My teammates are Amphia and Nags, and we play for the team named 07. We like to position ourselves into a good spot that we can fight from.
00:19:19 Und dann, wenn jemand ein Team befindet, oder vielleicht ein paar Teams, was wir versuchen, zu sehen, zu sehen, zu sehen, zu sehen, zu sehen, zu sehen, zu sehen, zu sehen, zu sehen, zu sehen, zu sehen, zu sehen, zu sehen, dass wir ein paar Knochen oder ein paar Knochen haben, aber wir können nicht vollständig sein, ohne es zu sehen, dass es komplett safe ist. So, das ist, warum wir ein paar High-Stats haben, aber nicht wirklich Kills haben. Aber das ist alles, das ist alles klar, und es ist uns, zu sehen, für Möglichkeiten, mehr so, als nichts zu verlieren.
00:19:47 Us having fun as a team is a major role in why we succeed. Because having fun directly translates into confidence, and confidence is necessary for us to provide the results. On top of that, we're able to pick ourselves up in case we have bad games. So having fun is a major part of our team, and I think that's the reason why we're doing so good. Damn, that was the best one. That was the best one. That was the best one. Come on. Come on. Let's go, baby. Let's go, baby.
00:20:18 I love that energy so much. Oh, guys, why can't we have that much fun on here? Come on. Get your energy up. Let's go, baby! Yeah! Love it. We're taking our time, all right? We're waiting for the game, Stella. Okay. You know what? He did say everything is going according to plan, so Onset, would you say those plans are going really well, or do you think that they're going to mix things up today? I think the plans are going well so far. Like I mentioned when I was talking about them previously, I think they've had some big games and they've needed it. I think if they would have had a couple of games where...
00:20:46 Yeah, that's true. And speaking of teams that might need to lock it in this week, I mean...
00:21:13 I gotta start with CypherCats, love them, but I mean Cleavey, Ranches, and Zenia, we need to see them find their footing. They've been struggling, they've been sitting at 20th in overall standings, but last week we really saw them struggling to survive through half the matches, and we did finally see them win their first game on World's Edge, but you can see that World's Edge is where they really shine, and Stormpoint, only 31%, it's not looking good. Now they could be warming up to the structure of Pro League's competitiveness, but they're going to have to start winning their fights on drop and surviving.
00:21:42 Ich weiß nicht, dass wir unsere Fan-Favorite haben, die Allianz aufsetzen.
00:22:11 Und dann haben wir Vamo Kuret, die wir durch das Ganze haben. Sadly, der Plan Kuchira hatte ist nicht zu kommen. Südamerika zu bringen in Portugal hat nicht funktioniert. King ist weg und zurückgekehrt. Aber es bedeutet, dass wir Postkill zurückkommen. Und ich kann nicht warten, um Postkill zurück zu sehen.
00:22:28 Ja, und wir haben zu sprechen mit Kaschera über seine Team und die Strategie haben, die sie weiterentwickelt werden. So, wir schauen uns das Interview an. Hallo, ich bin Kaschera. Meine Team sind Sanz und Postkill und wir spielen unter Vamo Querer. Der Plan ist definitiv, um besser zu machen. Mainly, unsere Storm Points. Das war die Map, die uns wirklich in der ersten Hound hat. Und, hoffentlich, die neue Approche sind wir versuchen.
00:22:57 Es wird funktioniert und es wird uns als Contenders wiederholen. Und hoffentlich können wir die Arbeit machen. Ich denke, wir müssen auf die kleine Details fokussieren. Ich denke, das Dramatische Differenzial zeigt, dass wir tactisch den Spiel richtig angekommen sind. Es ist nur, dass wir in den Momenten des Spiels, in den Momenten, wir waren nicht able, um aufzunehmen.
00:23:24 Those moments would have made all the difference. I felt like the game we played deserves at least a top 3. But those details were there and we couldn't overcome it. And we just put in the work and hopefully this weekend we are able to overcome it.
00:23:45 Yeah, I am super excited to see if they did put in the work and if it's going to pay off this week. I mean, Onset, I love a team that's able to look at the details of both what they're doing well and what they need to do better on. Yeah, I think it's been a little bit of a turbulent week or so for Kishira and Co. Understandably, we know we've seen on Twitter that, like Dan mentioned, there's been some unfortunate team changes that have kind of been forced a little bit and they've got some work to do. But one thing that can bring a little bit of confidence back is...
00:24:14 The old friendship, the old partnership, like you mentioned, of Postkill coming back alongside Kashera. So there's a lot to work on for them, but Kashera is one of the hardest working players that you'll see in Amir. So I think if there's work to be done, he never shines away from it. And I'm looking forward to seeing how they put things right. Yeah, I'm really excited about that as well. So let's go ahead and get into match number one. I'm going to hand it over to you and Gaskin to lead us through the action. Thank you so much for speaking with me. I am so excited to see what these teams bring.
Contests und aggressive Kompositionen: Strategische Überlegungen vor dem ersten Match
00:24:41
00:24:41 Thank you very much, Stella. Let's do this, Dan! How are you feeling today, buddy? Are you awake? You're on the West Coast. It's so weird now that you're like an American, like a secret American. Just like an undercover American. Yeah, no one knows I'm here. Actually, no, everyone knows I'm here. It's legal, everyone. Don't worry, don't worry. But yeah, I'm feeling great. I can't wait for A&B to go up against each other once more. I mean, I think that we've started to see patterns emerge a little bit now with the meta and how everyone's playing. But this is when people need to start changing things up. You can't just go with the flow here if you want.
00:25:11 We are struggling a little bit. We might start to see more aggressive compositions coming into effect this week. This will probably be the first week where it could really happen. So I'm excited. It's going to be fun. Yeah, I think one thing we should start to highlight as well as we head towards our first game is how contests are going to be working, right? Because it's three weeks in now. Three game days have gone and contests, if they haven't been sorted out and you are on the, shall we say, the...
00:25:32 The lower percentages of winning those contests, I think it's time to start looking elsewhere, right? Because game days are starting to disappear. We are getting through the season. Before we know it, we're going to be over halfway through this season and points become a premium. And I think you have to kind of put the ego aside a little bit and say, hey, look, if this team has been performing well, who's been winning on our contests and they're in a position to maybe qualify for LAN with a couple of good more days, then you can't afford to contest them because they can. They can afford to contest. They can afford to keep going because they already have points under their belt.
00:26:01 So I'm going to keep my eyes on the teams that are continuing contests, or we are going to see a couple of POI changes from some of those teams who are on the lesser side of things. Yeah, I think that you need to be looking at the statistics, the percentages of, can we still get to land with this contest happening? Because you might find yourself in the other groups...
00:26:20 ...having your drop swap free, and it is worth fighting in this particular scenario. However, if you are also contested in another group, which we have seen happening, then that's when you really need to start considering, okay, we should be moving, or we need to be changing our composition to benefit us in this contest. Because we have seen some teams contesting with a composition that maybe isn't all about fighting, it's more about the late game, but they don't even get to the late game, and that's when Conduit starts to be added, a support legend maybe, I don't know, let's go something, maybe even...
00:26:49 Ja, ich denke, es ist die Zeit für experimenten ist, es zu versuchen, ein bisschen zu versuchen. Wir sehen uns ein bisschen kompositiv, wie du schon erwähnt.
00:27:16 I think here is where we start to see teams really knuckle down on what they want to do, how they want to rotate, and what fights they want to take. Well, the wait is over, everybody. The Dropship is live. And Gaskin, I've got to be honest, mate, kind of hyped for this one. Game one.
Stormpoint-Action: Vamo Querer vs. Mind, 07 in starker Position und Allianz im Kampf
00:27:30
00:27:30 We're underway, and we're starting on Stormpoint. Now we were seeing contests happening up at Wall and down at Coastal Camp between these two groups. Originally it was Cybercats, it was 40% worse. Will that happen again? Are we going to see it 40% worse? They're going to be heading on down, but are they going to be taking a fight?
00:27:47 Well, we'll have to keep an eye on this. It looks like at the moment they're lonely, which is usually not a great sign, but in Apex Legends, it's usually a pretty good thing, to be honest with you. And they are going to be able over here at Coastal Camp to pick up their loot uncontested. So that's one of the answers, right, that we were looking for. Is there going to be a certain contest? Is there going to be a little bit of a change of things? Well, if we go over to the other side of the map, right to North Pad, you can see the answer.
00:28:09 Ja, Vamo-Korea haben geblieben von der Wallen und sie haben geblieben einen Kampf gegen Mine. Es ist nicht die erste Mal, dass Vamo-Korea geblieben ist, um andere Teams zu kämpfen. Sie sind also ein Team, die schnell zu lösen, gehen und gehen zu den Late-Games. Wir werden sehen, ob diese Kampf tatsächlich passiert und ob Vamo-Korea ist, dass Vamo-Korea gehen. Für jetzt haben sie die Height, in dieser Geburt, in dieser Geburt. However, ihr habt die Loot-Pilz auf die Far-Side, auf der Norden-Side.
00:28:38 Und ich finde es interessant hier, das ist eine Entscheidung, das hat sich natürlich auch gemacht, von Vamokarer. Sie waren nicht die bessere Red Dragon overall, also haben sie gesagt, hey, wir versuchen hier zu contesten. Aber sogar eine Contest-Win hier an Northpad, Northpad ist nicht der beste POI in der Welt. Es gibt nicht die größte Loot-Pool, also der Fall, dass du das Spiel hast, das Blaster, du hast zu benutzen. Es wird die Long-Game, aber das ist was wir. Teams' hands sind geholfen ein bisschen in diesen Situationen. Es ist wie, hey, wir lieber spielen mit weniger Loot.
00:29:05 If we can actually get into the game and force our way towards an endzone.
00:29:08 It does look like Bamakadet are looking to take this fight as well. They have been able to kind of lock Mind into a corner here, and they've got the high ground. I mean, this is a fight that should be won, and they are getting damage done as well. The reward for winning this fight, they have a ring console here. They have got the ability to be able to use that, but oh, Posts get from behind. Oh, and Sen's might go down as well, and it's all up to Kashera now. The initial damage was all unsighted, but this decision to go and invade a POI, well, unfortunately, the invasion is going to be rebuked because Kashera...
00:29:38 Not a chance. A slither of health. You can dive, dodge, dip as much as you want, but even with an ultimate here, the likelihood is Kashira should go down.
00:30:00 Sie versuchen alles zu tun, aber es scheint zu sein, dass es eine Unsuccessful attempt zu tun ist. Was ist passiert? Was ist passiert? Was ist passiert? Was ist passiert? Was ist passiert?
00:30:14 But that means that Mind will get the Ring Console. And we can start talking about where everyone else is on the map, Mark. Was a Ring Console down at Coastal Camp as well for Cybercats? And the Circle is going to be moving towards the southern side of Storm Point here. So this is going to be fantastic for those teams who are around Barometer, Coastal Camp, Echo. Because they're going to be able to move very quickly into Barometer. Other teams who did find a Ring Console on the map. I think Lightning Rod had one. So we did see a Lion's able to grab them. But 07.
00:30:44 und bereits positioniert sich in dieser SOUTHWEST Area Barometer. A lot of Teams werden starten mit ihnen hier, als alle auf diese Zone gehen. Ja, das ist ein sehr starkes Bild zu behalten. Sie sehen, dass sie nicht nur für diese Zone sind, sondern auch für die nächste Zone sind. Sie haben das Ring-Console Information, wie du schon erwähnt. Und das ist, dass sie ihre Bestes Game playen, 07. Sie haben eine sehr gute Armour zu arbeiten, als auch, wie schnell sie zu diesem Spot haben. 1 Purple, 2 Blue, so sie werden auch...
00:31:09 Wir haben ein bisschen mehr Platz in der Bühne, dann können wir sie auf den Bühne gehen und probieren und sehen, ob sie die Evo haben. Aber Stormpoint hat sich die Frage für sie. Wir waren über das, wenn sie split sind. Worlds Edge hat sich die Majority der Punkte gewonnen, aber wenn sie sich locken, wie sie jetzt haben, und spielen von dort, dann ist das gut für sie, und es gibt sie eine Chance für sie, und es gibt sie eine Chance für sie, und es gibt sie eine Chance für sie, hier auf Stormpoint. Wir haben die Killfeed, auch. Nox happening in und around Barometer.
00:31:35 ...having a little poke and a prod at one another just to try and inflict some damage, get those evo shields up a little bit whilst all the northern teams continue to make their way down towards Barometer. Everyone on the southern side...
00:31:47 Aside from LVH, haben sie bereits in die Circle gefunden, so es ist ein ziemlich guter Rotation für alle, die auf der anderen Seite ist. Es ist ein bisschen schwieriger für die, die auf der anderen Seite auf der anderen Seite ist. Remember, Mine macht das fight, und es war ein bisschen elongativer, so sie müssen sie einen langen Weg von North zu South nehmen. Und dann haben wir ein paar Teams in der Mitte der Map, aber für die meisten Leute, die in Barometer sind, ist es nur ein Fall für die nächsten Circles zu gehen, um zu entscheiden, was das Plan der Action ist.
00:32:15 Ich meine, wir sehen uns ein bisschen Sentinels spielen in Nordamerika, aber Fritz ist der Longbow zurückgegangen, und er hat den Triple-Digit Headshots. Und das ist die perfekte Weapon zu finden, wenn du auf der Topf der Barometer bist. Du kannst auch ein paar damage geben, um jemanden, der sich in den Blumen zu rotatieren kann. Und du kannst die Blumen auf den Blumen sehr, sehr schnell auch. Also, sie haben die Konjuiz, also nicht zu haben, dass du zu viele Meds in dieser Position bist, das ist immer ein bisschen an advantage. Eine Sache ist, dass ein bisschen ein Bugbearer von mir ist, wenn du Leute riefst durch Cells, wenn sie in der Zone sind,
00:32:43 Wenn sie eine Conduette haben, ist es so, wenn sie die Queue zurückkommt. Geht die Shields zurück. Geht die Meds für die Endgame. Ja, ein bisschen Temporary Shields, um zu tun, um zu tun und zu tun. Aber Allianz, sie machen ihren Weg in hier. Und oh, es ist auch ein guter Damage. Es ist Yuki's Last Dance. Ich sehe, ob er kann in diesem Kampf sein.
00:33:10 If there's someone's getting shot on the low... Listen to me, listen to me. If no one comes from west... Yeah, there's a team I'll see no choke. We need to start like... We gotta have to kill the team on their back maybe, okay? Later. Let's try to get the armors. That's the only thing we have to do right now. Yeah, that's what I'm doing. Kill me. Do you have a side splash? Yeah, I'm shooting. Dark, listen. I'm losing too much FPS, bro. I'm gonna close the stream, okay? Flash, you open to him. Okay.
00:33:44 1.80 für Purple, okay? Ich habe Felix für dich mit Curve. Da ist ein Team hier. Sie spielen auf der Cube, all of you. Ich denke, das ist Natski. Das ist das gleiche Team, in der Welt.
00:34:06 Das war ein bisschen ein Parallel-Universe. Wir sahen Allianz, aber wir hörten jemand anderes. Aber die gute Sache ist, Allianz gewinnen diese Kampf, aber sie haben sich verletzt hier. Die Frage ist, ob sie sie wieder in den Spiel sind. Die Antwort ist in der ersten Augen, weil sie finden eine Re-Spawn-Beacon für sie, um ihre Topfrager zu bekommen.
00:34:22 Ja, und eine Sache, die Allianz haben immer sehr gut gemacht ist, dass sie sich großartig sind, wie sie versuchen, sie zu vermeiden, um sie zu vermeiden, um sie zu vermeiden, um sie zu vermeiden, aber es scheint, dass sie sich die vollen Englisch verletzt werden, aber ich kann nur sehen, dass es in Brin, also vielleicht, okay, da ist ein 4-3, ich war ein bisschen überraschend, vielleicht war es ein 2-on-2, aber wenn man ein Team hat, um ein Team zu halten, wie das ...
00:34:42 Dealing that much damage, it's not really worth to try and push and take it because you leave yourself vulnerable at this stage of the game to a third party. So that's why Full English are saying, hey, let's not give up our position. We've got the rocks to play with and let's stick to it right now. Yeah, they're playing the island. This could be in and around where the end game does go. Speaking of which, here's your map overhead to show you how everybody is stacked.
00:35:02 So 20 seconds until...
00:35:32 ...zone closes and every team, bar mind, who we saw take that opening fight...
00:35:36 Das ist sehr congested, als ich sage, dass eine andere Team geht, Pest Control endlich haben ihre 3rd Spieler eliminiert und taken aus der Lobby. Aber das ist jetzt, dass es sich jetzt ein bisschen mehr Dicey wird. Jeder hat einen Raum zu spielen, also diese Zone-Close ist nicht wirklich zu starten. Aber wenn die Leute sehen, wo diese Zone-Polle ist für Zone 3, das ist, wenn sie wissen, ob es zu machen oder zu machen. Können wir eine Position finden? Sind wir in eine Safe-Spot bereits?
00:36:03 Und dann ist das, was manchmal kann es passieren, weil die Leute starten zu gehen. Ein Team, das wird eine Gefühle für jemanden zu treffen, ist E6. E6 ist jetzt auf der eastern Seite der Zone, auf der Höhe des Hillen, welches kind of overlooks alle in Barometer, und sie sind bereits in vollen Red Armour. Ein paar Crafters würden sie auf ihren Weg durch, um sie in die Position zu kämpfen.
00:36:28 Ja, ich denke LVH waren sehr glücklich mit der Zone, der Drohling down in Sedote. Sie haben nicht die Möglichkeit, die ...
00:36:50 Ja, und ich glaube LBH ist auch sicher, dass die Team unter dem, sie nicht wissen, es ist Red Dragon, aber...
00:37:19 Das ist ein Kontroller-Based Team, so es wird sehr, sehr schwierig sein, in diese Close-Quarter-Ares zu kämpfen. Sie sind einfach ein bisschen Respekt hier, beide Teams zu spielen, nicht zu versuchen, Dinge zu kommen. Und warum würden Sie mit 18 Squads Alive? Wenn Sie diese Fight mit 18 Squads Alive in einer dieser Priority-Buildungs- und Sie verlieren, wenn Sie es, wenn Sie gewinnen, werden Sie wahrscheinlich genug Dammage für ein Team zu denken über das 3D-Party.
00:37:44 And one thing that the Bloodhound scan will do for them is it'll give them an idea of the composition they're going up against. And if they can see on the outline, it's going to be a conduit. You've got to be careful taking this fight because technically in a 3v3, LVH have the better comp here, but that is good opening damage. But I don't think they're going to press on it. It's not enough to run up a stairwell. You put yourself in such a vulnerable position, forcing yourself into a chokehold where you could be absolutely blitzed. Yeah, and the conduit, of course, is just going to stagger the fight even more because you're going to be able to hit that Q. Everyone gets their shields back a little bit more. You can't play it.
00:38:13 das initial damage so you just have to be a little bit more reserved so red dragon probably going to be waiting for that next bloodhound scan to be available before they try and make any kind of play but elsewhere at the moment just looking where the zone is going to be pulling 07 we mentioned earlier they made a quick rotate they're in a fantastic spot on the southern side of this zone as a little bit of damage comes in and they're going to try and triple swing this one and they will get that first knock the life thing tried to get a little bit greedy there
00:38:38 Yeah, Red Dragon just really wanted to force this fight, and now this is going to be the benefit of having the Bloodhound on your squad, because smoke goes down, Beast of the Hunt activated, and now you start to use those scans to your advantage to see through those smokes and give your team a little bit of extra info. Now, they have been able to retreat inside the building here. They are making it difficult for Red Dragon, but you can see no other team is trying to press on this at the moment, and they have good cover from other angles. As I say that, they are starting to get griefed a little bit, but you need to be careful.
00:39:06 Not only that, because the circle is coming in.
Spannungsgeladene Endphase: 07 triumphiert auf Stormpoint
00:39:34
00:39:34 Building is not going to be in zone, so they need to finish this fight and then think about where they're going. Elsewhere, Alliance took down the full English. They took the island off of them, but the island is also not safe. The bridge just about is. If you come to the southern side of the bridge, Alliance will be able to play underneath it, and they should have a good angle. But there is so much teams in Barometer at the moment that even if Alliance get there, they have to think about how they get past these squads to get to that far southwest tip. Well, Noises last alive, and Red Dragon! Oh, this is what I was worried about!
00:40:03 Das ist was ich überrascht. Die Möglichkeit hat nicht geholfen. Und jetzt, weil sie nicht mehr Pro-Aktiv sind, hat sich jetzt ein 2v2 geholfen. Die Batterie wird in Zeit geholfen. Aber jetzt, Weiss fließt, und Reddragons wird wieder zurückkehren und denken, wie haben wir das gemacht? LVH auf die Masterclass, als ein 2. Und die Wippen Reddragons aus Stormpoint. E6, 40% worse, zwei Giants in dieser Lobby.
00:40:30 Two teams who certainly know how to fight, two teams who are safe in this building. You can see the Zone has now closed, but are they going to be able to position themselves for the next one? Because the Zone is moving even further southwest now, where you were talking about it, 07 in prime position in one of the best buildings at the moment. They're also joined by the likes of Orglas and Hungary. I mean, we did see LVH get taken down, but one thing that puts a smile on my face is the fact that we got the big boy back.
00:40:53 in the lobby. Gibraltar's back, everyone. And it's Mandy who has the Gibraltar. And let me tell you, I've been theorycrafting and I like this pick a lot at the moment. I think there's good value in what Gibraltar can bring in the current meta. And we don't have time to really deep dive into it right now. But with Mandy and a Mastiff and a Bubble, you can see it's very difficult to make any progress against.
00:41:14 Mandy Mastiff in a Bubble sounds like a TV show that I would definitely subscribe to and maybe it will come in 2025. But at the moment 40% worse, they're just kind of trying to hold off this team. They're happy to reside together right now, but in 33 seconds you've got a move. And they've just used their bubble, so they want to delay as much as possible to have that bubble for their bit of movement as Alliance. This is what I was worried about once they got past that bridge. They started to get creeped by the squads. They're already in zone and effect has gone down.
00:41:41 Hacks for fall as well. It's all up to Yuki. I've said that before. And oh, what a spray that was. But it's not enough. Even with the damage coming out of the R9 to take that final player down. So Alliance once again have a little bit of a shaky start here in game number one. But I mentioned E6. E6 still hungry. Alive and looking good. 40% worse. Looking a little bit shaky. Mandy on the Gibraltar, like I'm going to mention 100 times today, is finding himself as last alive. And that's a little bit unfortunate because they have pretty good pro to this zone. 40% worse.
00:42:11 Ja, 40% worse off at the moment, sadly, losing two of their players, and we'll have to see whether Mandy can do some magic as the big man himself, as teams starting to fall out of the sky as they try and take the evac tower, because this is now panic stations, alright? Everyone who was in the northern side of Barometer trying to move down to the south, we're probably going to see about six squads wiped in this very moment. This is when you need your controller players to start popping off.
00:42:35 Everyone's trying to force their way in now and usually we talk about Barometer being a POI where you can co-exist pretty comfortably, but when it pulls down to this southern side everyone has to move across open ground and that's why you're seeing a lot of teams start to fall. We now have 14 squads left in the lobby. One of the teams we were talking about who had a good couple of weeks was ANC Outplay, but they're down to just one at the moment. Make it zero. They will be eliminated. Mine go down as well. 40% worse fall as well, Dan. We are losing teams so, so quickly.
00:43:02 Yeah, I think we just lost four in the space of just ten seconds. Passion get eliminated. Infinite also doing some great damage here, and it should be another squad getting wiped. And it will be confirmation, stay healthy, go down. Nine squads now remain. Can Infinite reset here is my real question. I like this attempt, just trying to dipsy doodle around the outside, but it might not work out.
00:43:23 Second just on the map overhead to survey the damage. Exoclan now down to just one. They will be down to zero. Two Rats, one controller also eliminated as well. And E6, you saw it there. CJ or Cracked, however you want to refer to him, refer to him as the kill leader in the lobby. They are starting to pick up kill after kill as Cold now sit on top of the height of Barometer, but they're going to have to move across some open ground in around 25 seconds.
00:43:46 Ja, es sieht gut jetzt, aber es ist nicht gut in 20 Sekunden. Die Teams, die wirklich die Möglichkeit haben, in meinen Augen zu gewinnen, sind 07, Auglitz & Hungry. Die zwei Teams, die die Primespot haben, mit einem Shout, auf der Westen-Side. Excuse mich, ich habe einen Mark. Aber jetzt, mit 10 Sekunden zu gehen, Kold haben wir zu denken, ob wir über das versuchen, ob wir über das versuchen, ob wir über das versuchen, ob wir über das versuchen, ob wir durch das versuchen. Ich denke, sie haben nicht nur eine Evac-Towern, also sie haben einfach zu versuchen, ihre Weg aus. So ein bisschen mehr, endlich.
00:44:14 Oh my. Oh my. Oh my.
00:44:41 Ja, das ist auf Auge und Hungry und sie waren in dieser Position für eine lange Zeit, aber E6 wussten, dass es ein guter Platz wäre, das könnte sie vielleicht gewinnen. Aber Auge und Hungry sind stalling, das ist ein Frustrating-Szenario für E6, das ist für sicher. Es gibt auch viel Achtung, E6 weiter zu pushen. E6 geht weiter, Infinite geht weiter, die E6-Squad jetzt bleiben. Wingman und ein Dream.
00:45:02 Good shots coming in. Amphi now tries to overextend to see if he can get a few kills in that position but wasn't able to. So he has to retreat. But the fact that E6 came out of that situation down with everybody still healthy is incredible from them. Making that play, making that rotate. Great shout out to Swinney there as well as the execution from the two slayers.
00:45:19 Oh, Tyler, Foucault, just last man standing, does some damage, goes out with a bang, and is able to take down a player with him as Cybercats now get eliminated. And we find ourselves in the last three. It's E6, it's Aftermath, it's 07, and it's always difficult in this situation. Who do you push? Are you going to be more aggressive? Do you try and wait? Do you try and stall things out? You've got 30 seconds before the ring starts to really get aggressive, but that damage is just going to now encourage the fight to happen everywhere.
00:45:44 I think I saw Swinney tweet something like, Havoc Balanced, as he beamed someone off of a roof the other day. And here's the example. Swinney's found his gun, everyone. And let me tell you, it does damage. That is another clean wipe. Nobody goes down. The shield swaps are comfortable. And now it is a 3v3. But damage already been done. And I tell you what, I don't see E6 losing this one. But I stand corrected. The knock is coming from next.
00:46:07 Ja, das wird so wichtig sein, wenn man die Dämpfe gemacht hat. Mas Swinney hat die Digi-Threat, und er hat die Havoc aus dem Backpocket. Er braucht nur die RELOAD, aber das ist so schwierig in der Smoke, und er kann es getan werden. 07 hält die Position für die ganze Zeit. Er wird die Victory bekommen. Natski wird wieder glücklich sein. Es ist egal, ob es zwei, drei, vier Takes wird es getan werden.
00:46:28 Incredible in-game performance there from 07. I thought they were on the back foot. You saw that they were popping batteries as E6 made their approach. But they managed to get that first knock. And that's the thing, right? Sometimes you might get the call. It's like, oh, there's a guy weak here. Everybody sends. A little bit of crossfire comes in. And before you know it, the fight can turn on its head almost immediately. Also, that cat wall. I'm not sure if it was from E6. I'm pretty sure it wasn't. It was from the 07 side. That stalled the fight just long enough and caused a little bit of visual nonsense, shall we call it.
00:46:58 Und das wirklich hat E6 die Möglichkeit zu streiten. So 07, ich denke, ich habe es über sie, dass sie ein Team wie erwartet. Das sind die Standards, sie setten sich selbst. Und es ist auf Stormpoint, Dan, wo sie brauchen, zu verbessern.
00:47:09 Aber ich denke, Sie sind recht. Die Dark Veil zu kommen, hat sich sehr schwierig gemacht.
00:47:39 Ja, ich war impressed mit 07 als auch. Ich denke, das kind von Zone für sie, wo sie können eine Quick-Rotate und in der Building ist, ist der Game all over, right? Das ist wo sie haben, das ist wo sie haben, das ist wo sie die Majority der Points auf. Und wieder, ich talk about Conversion Rate, right? Sie sind in der Top 5 wieder.
00:48:08 Ich denke, sechs oder, sorry, excuse me, vier times they've been in the top five and they've won three of the games. I mean, that is exceptional. That is, you would take, if you give that stat to any team in the world, they will go, yeah, we'll take that 100%. It's incredible execution in those final moments. Yeah, those are the kind of stats we'll be looking at when we start to get to LAN, when we start to get to match point, right? Who are the teams who are converting successfully? Who are the teams that are converting a little bit more? And we'll have to see whether 07 can carry on this fine form.
00:48:35 Yeah, I think E6 as well. We said how they were a little bit of a threat for the position they had with their rotate, and they proved it in that endgame. It's interesting to see Alliance, though. A tough rotate for them, we will say. A lot of the southern POIs now, we kind of talk about maybe more accessible to northern teams than they were previously on this new Storm Point, because there's a few more playable areas, but that one was particularly rough for them, having to rotate through Jurassic and fight downhill across...
00:49:00 Ja, ich denke, dass wenn...
00:49:13 All these teams are being put in this position and there's so much kind of pressure put on the IGL as well with how they are going to be performing and how they are going to be moving into some of these late games and these final circles. And it's why I want to go back and watch as many POVs as possible with comms to see what the position was made, who made that call, why was it made, is everyone listening, was there a player who was out of position as well. And it's why ALGS is so interesting because there are so many minor things that can happen that can ruin a final circle for you. You all can change things.
00:49:42 Ich bin sehr gespannt, ob es eine dieser Zeit sein wird. Speaking of days, wir haben die Match Results hier. 12 Punkte für Placement, für 07 für die Victory, aber 17 in total. Aber E6 hat 21 Punkte, es ist 12 Kills, es ist E6, die E6 machen. Ich liebe es, es ist die Unterschiede in Strategie, right? 07. Hey, ich glaube, das ist die Zonen, wir haben eine Ring-Console, wir nehmen diese Gebäude, wir fighten, wir warten, wir warten, wir wollen das Spiel. Okay, E6. Swinny, auf der Mic.
Zusammenfassung der ersten Spielphase und Teamvergleich
00:50:09
00:50:09 Kill everything, everyone! Run! Kill! And that's pretty much what they did. And they completely wiped that eastern side of the map. By the way, now every single time that I have to talk about the map, there's a little pause. You can probably hear it before I go for a direction. Have you noticed that? Because I'm trying to get better, Dan. I'm trying to get better. Oh, I did it. I did a U. I was too confident. And I was like, oh, they're on the east. It's a virus, dude. I'm telling you. As soon as you get one direction or the compass wrong, it's over for you.
00:50:34 One Direction on a compass? That sounds like we could sell it. Anyway, vamos Correa, vamos Correa! Why do I keep saying vamos? I'm just excited. It's because I've been watching the Arsenal game. They're on zero points down at the bottom because they lost that contest in the early stages. They looked so good right at the start. I thought they had the damage. I thought they were going to win the fight. We were going to be talking about how the north pad aggression was great and then sadly they got surprised and it was a nice little flank that actually won the fight for mind.
00:51:01 We're going to take a little bit of team comparison. Our two teams in first place and second place respectively. Placement points obviously going to go to 07. They'll be very happy with the win, but 12 kills down. I mean, it's superb from them, but output of damage from 07 kind of feeds into what Nasky was talking about in the interview, right? They're very wary if they get a good spot of overextending and trying not to throw games by looking for one extra kill, which is going to cost them in that endgame. So I think you've just seen a really good comparison on statistically and stylistically.
00:51:30 von den beiden Teams und was für beide works. Ja, ich denke, 07 wird sehr glücklich mit ihr, aber E6, ich meine, sie sind diejenigen, die wirklich kommen als die victorinnen, wenn es zu points total ist. So, das ist Match 1, done und dusted. Time zu nehmen, aber wenn wir zurückkommen, wird es Match 2. Don't go anywhere.
00:53:40 Und wir sind bereit für die Nummer 2, Dan Gaskin. 07, wenn ihr euch seid, geht es um die Nummer 1. Aber die Punkte totale wurde von Element 6 getrennt, mit einer großen Anzahl von Kills zu zweit. Aber Stormpoint, wiederum, dass E6 ist, wo sie zu essen sind, weil sie viele Kills haben, und sie sind immer wiederhöhnt.
00:53:59 Yes, they are very hungry indeed, and they just gobble it down, honestly. You had no idea what to do with that. Honestly, I was like, where's he going? But you found a way to put it in, and that's why you are good at your job. All right, match number two. It's Storm Point again, and we did see a few different compositions coming in. I mean, the meta was starting to kind of develop. We were seeing...
00:54:19 A lot of traditional comps coming through, a lot of Catalyst, a lot of Bangalore, a lot of Conduit, but we did see a Gibraltar. Now, we didn't get a lot of time to talk about it, but Mark, I mean, this is a big game plan from 40% worse, and in the right scenario, it could be huge for them.
00:54:35 Ich will sagen, ich denke, dass es ein Komfort pick aus Mandi ist. Es ist ein Legend, dass er sehr, sehr komfortabel ist und er weiß, wie zu navigieren. Aber ich denke, dass es viel Wert ist, wenn man sich in den Endgame geht. Und man findet sich in der Position, mit viel Smokes zu gehen, Catwalls, oder was es vielleicht. Das Bubble ist immer wert, als es immer hat. Plus, mit einem SMG-Nerf. Wir wissen, dass alle Leute darüber gesprochen haben.
00:55:00 Das heißt, dass du ein Peacekeeper oder ein Mastiff oder ein Mastiff in der Bubble hast, macht es sehr, sehr schwierig zu pushen. Und du kannst du so viel zu pushen. Aber genug Theorycrafting für jetzt. Denn es ist Zeit für eine andere Contest, Dan. Und wir werden sehen, wenn wir.
Contest um North Pad und Strategien für Stormpoint
00:55:12
00:55:12 Ich weiß nicht, dass sie sagen, wenn sie ein Victory finden können. Sie sehen, auf der Drop, Posca war nicht zu bekommen. Das ist nicht wirklich eine Fun-Scenario. Das ist eine gute Situation. Ja, wirklich. Aber ich habe gesehen, dass es so viele Male. Ich habe gesehen, dass es so viele Male, wenn man einfach nicht getrennt. Aber jetzt haben wir die High-Ground. Das ist eine ganz andere Situation.
00:55:36 Es ist aber gut und schlecht, weil es der Delay ist.
00:55:58 Could be painful. And it looks like Amokarer are deciding to leave and split the loot. And I think it's a smarter idea, especially after you lost that first contest, like we mentioned. It'd be interesting to see if mine do try and chase them down, though, and get a little bit of damage in and cause some problems. But speaking of the zone, Dan, you gave the information on where it's going. Let's look at the teams who have access to Ring Console to get that info themselves. You've got Alliance.
00:56:20 They've got it. You've got Red Dragon who have got it as well, which means that they're going to be in a fantastic position to get Pryo to this zone elsewhere. Just scanning around at the moment. Am I missing anything that you've picked up immediately? Can you see one sneaky around? There was one at North Pad as well. I mean, but Vamakure and Mind didn't hit it. Neither of them hit it. And this is going to be down to whether, you know, how well they know the zones. Because Koshiro, we've always praised Koshiro on zone pulls and like his knowledge.
00:56:46 Can he call this one just from Zone 1, would be my question. At the moment, they're just trying to escape. You can see it on the map. You can see the bullets are being fired. Vamukreo just running away from mine, and they're going to be running into danger just to the west of Wall here. I will say, this is probably one of the roughest zones if you're coming from the south. We did just have a south zone, so maybe it's like, hey, this is just ending.
00:57:07 The Grand Equalizer, right, for the teams who came from the north last time. But the fact that there is so little cover on this zone, this is very much a, if you are coming a little bit later to the party, you're playing for kills and seeing if you can pick up some placement points as well. Because you're looking at playable areas, you've got a couple of buildings inside, just at the northern checkpoint through the choke. You've got that little compound, of course, and then you've got the eggs or the nuts, depending on what your favorite type of food is. These are what I'm talking about right now.
00:57:36 You can stay inside of the top of the wall building as well for a little bit, but then you've got to drop out and when you land in, it's going to hurt. It's a bit of a rough one, I will say. If you're not here early, you're probably not going to get in at all. Yeah, this is so tough because usually if you try and get into one, you're going to be griefed from the other egg or nut, depending on your favorite food as Mark was talking about. And then you're just going to be pushing your team.
00:58:00 ...wilst you've taken damage. So if you haven't got there first, sometimes it's not even worth going for it when you have these three all pushed together. Sure, there's a third one that is available, but do you really want to go for it and just be griefed when you're arriving? It's probably not going to work out. You need to use a lot of tools just to get into that position.
00:58:23 4 games ahead for them. That's two games now. One, they lost the contest and one, they've gone out first in the lobby. Concerning moments for Kashera and crew, but I'm sure they could be able to pull it back at some point. A lot more to be played, of course, but look at the teams that are stacked up inside of the Egg or Nuts, depending on what your favorite food is. There's going to be Red Dragon we saw there as well. We saw Cold who are going to be in the vicinity. Infinite are right.
00:58:47 So you can see one player taken down.
00:59:13 und Cold. Sie sind nicht großartig, aber sie haben viele Weapons zu benutzen. Und Volt 30-30, das ist die Leut Pool, die ich immer beinahe für. Er ist jetzt Grateful. Er ist nicht so großartig, aber er kriegt die initiale Damage mit Tyler. Und das ist auch ein Vorteil von Katalys zu spielen. Das ist auch ein Vorteil, dass er die Vorstellung von Katalys hat. Das ist auch ein Vorteil, dass er die Vorstellung, nicht die Instant-Pushback hat.
00:59:37 Such a risky decision, though, to step out and try and wipe this as well. That could have been a real nightmare situation. Yes, it worked for them, and I like that they're trying to command space, but knowing that there's just multiple teams in and around...
00:59:48 Es ist immer ein bisschen risk zu tun, aber sie haben sich zu versuchen, die Position zu halten. Sie werden nicht jemanden zu beherrscht, um da, um Probleme zu kommen, oder um, Griefing, oder was es vielleicht, um das Endgame zu machen. Speaking of die Compound, die wir schon erwähnt haben, die 07 waren, sie haben sich in den Weg gemacht, aber sie haben sich in den Druck gemacht, aber sie haben einen Druck gemacht, aber sie haben einen Druck gemacht, und sie haben einen Knochen. So, Natsuki wird das eine Knochen auf und OP, unfortunately.
Wingman als Game-Changer und Team-Positionierung in Zone 2
01:00:13
01:00:13 Sie finden sich in eine schlimme Position als andere Bullets kommen in von anderen Teams. Amphys ist ein Wingman und ich will sagen, das Wingman ist ein komplett Game-Changer für Teams. Wenn die Call-Out kommt und Sie wissen, wie ein Team ist ein Wingman, viele Teams sagen, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, wir können das, weil es eine Schilder ist.
01:00:31 Ja, es wirklich ist unglaublich. Und man muss sich die Drogen aus dem Sky auswählen, weil ein Wingman kann ein Spiel verändern. Er kann ein Spiel gewinnen. Und man muss auch, wenn man es aus anderen Teams geht. Also, wenn man sie sehen, dass sie aus den Händen auswählen können, dann muss man sich ein bisschen sehen. Oder wenn man ein Legend auswählen kann auswählen, dann wird das sogar besser für dich. Aber ein paar nicht.
01:00:55 Pest Control find themselves in a building as well as Zone 1 is just about closing with 30 seconds now remaining. So we've got our early movers who have found themselves within Zone 2 here. Pest Control outplayed, 07, Passion, Cold, Aftermath, all in good positions. And then we're going to get the later rivals, 2R1C, Full English, E6, Cybercats, LVH 40% worse. Bear in mind, we might see a fight in the Southwest between LVH and 40% worse.
01:01:22 LVH are one of our best Stormpoint teams statistically in this lobby, so I wouldn't really want to go up against them, I will say. But I do remember them having some favourable zone pulls on Stormpoint, but we'll have to see whether that's going to happen again. So they were taking some popshots over towards 40% worse, and it looks like they still are. This fight's going on for quite some time. There's a lot of time left, of course, for them to rotate in, but...
01:01:46 So we'll start to chunk away a little bit more as we know as we head towards Zone 3. That's certainly the call that a lot of teams make. Can't be fine in and around Zone when Zone 3 starts to close. But this is completely isolated by the way. Cybercats is going to take them about. They're the closest team and they've just left Pylon to Jurassic. So I don't think they're going to be too much of an influence on this fight. But our listening is available. Let's see how the comms go as the fight now takes place.
01:02:14 Ja, ich bin in den Barsch. Ich bin in den Barsch.
01:02:41 Ich kann nicht sehen, aber... Ja, mir zu. Da ist jemand in da. Gibby ist... Ich denke, es sind zwei hier. Ja, in einem. Gibby ist in der Mitte. Gibby ist in der Mitte.
01:03:08 One down. Do you have a Ryzen? Almost right. I'm popping up bad, they might queue up. Do you have a Ryzen? No, no, no, not a Ryzen. One down, one down! Drop, drop, drop! Nice, nice, nice! I'm going left, I'm going left, I'm going left! I'm going left, I'm going left! I'm going, I'm going! I'm going, I'm going, I'm going! I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going
01:03:39 Mora, chill, chill, player, cover. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. Nice one of you. Nice. Good shit.
01:03:51 LBH stand tall, und sie werden das Spiel gewinnen, aber es war so lange, dann. Ich meine, LBHs gewinnen, aber auf was kostet? Denn die Zonen sind geschlossen. Sie werden vielleicht irgendwo näher den Zonen gewinnen, aber ich denke, dass sie ein paar Medkets sind.
01:04:15 Ja, sie müssen mit Medkits arbeiten, vielleicht können sie einen Trafter auf dem Weg finden, wenn sie über die Station gehen können. Es ist nicht ein Spaß, aber wir schauen mit ihnen später, ob sie surviveieren können. Für jetzt, alle anderen denken, okay, Final Zone, Trenches ist, wo wir jetzt in der Moment sitzen. Ich liebe Trenches, ich will es hier. Ich denke, es ist ein schwerer Platz zu halten, aber es ist ein guter Platz, aber es ist ein guter Platz zu halten.
01:04:45 Ja, wir sehen uns Cybercats auf E6 und Cybercats finden, dass es E6 ist jetzt, weil Ranches ist auf seinem eigenen. Es ist ein 1v2 für ihn zu versuchen, aber du sehen uns E6 zu versuchen, das Havoc. Ich denke, es ist ein Spielplan, wenn es das Havoc geht. Findet es, benutze es, und pick up Kills mit ihm. Finishings sollte kommen in, als auch. Du hast die letzte Spieler geschafft momentan, aber jetzt gibt es ein 3rd Partei, und das ist ein 3rd Partei. Es ist 2R1C, zu sagen.
01:05:12 Du kannst die Spielplan von E6 sehen, die Composition sind, Horizon Bang und Bloodhound sind, sie sind aggressiv, sie sind zu bekommen, und sie können einfach zu überleben. Oh nein, sie werden aus der Skye gehen, aber Slab, als er landet hier ist, wenn er geschätzt wird, kann er den Kampf machen. Ja, das ist interessant, ich kann ein bisschen mehr über Bloodhound reden, und vielleicht ein paar reasons, die Teams zu machen, wie die Obvious sind.
01:05:34 Unter die Banksmoke ein bisschen später. Aber August in Hungry mentioned die Trenches. Manchmal hat man die Trenches. Es ist alles über die Trenches. Und dann machen sie es für sie an den Moment. Picken auf ein paar Kills auf dem Weg an AM. Die 17-Squads jetzt noch bleiben, als wir haben, ich will sagen, noch eine Überraschung der Team noch nicht in die Zonen, aber nicht in die Zonen. Weil es nicht so gut ist, wie wir schon erwähnt haben, wie wir schon erwähnt haben. Ja, viele Teams auf dem Souten von der Zonen sind in der Zonen.
01:06:00 Ja, es ist ein paar Teams live jetzt also, checking in on LVH. Sie sind still alive, und sie haben gerade in die Circle. Aber als Round 3 starts zu close, ich denke, die Lobby wird almost becut in half hier, weil wir haben half der Lobby schon außerhalb der Zone, und sie werden alle müssen in die Zone fighten. Checkpoint ist ein horrible Platz zu sein, weil zwei Chokes, ihr habt zu versuchen, zu versuchen, in die Zone zu versuchen, und sogar wenn du in die Zone kommst, dann in die Zone in die Zone kommst, und wenn du in die Zone kommst, dann in die Zone kommst, und dann in die Zone kommst du in die Zone kommst.
01:06:30 Allglitten Hungry just holding the North West here. They're okay at the moment, but Alliance are holding one of the best spots as 2R1C seem to have found a rat of their own and Cybercats get eliminated. I was about to say, that's not a rat, that's a Cybercat, Dan. Come on, very easy to distinguish. Sorry, sorry. Maybe it wasn't close enough for you to this. What is a solo Cybercat, though?
01:06:52 Es ist ein Cybercat. Oh, okay, all right, ja. Und dann Multiple, du einfach nur die S. Du hast es. Du hast es. Du hast es. Du hast es. 2R1C, sie sind in der Spider Cave. Sie waren die Team, die ein paar Ziele haben. Element 6 kamen, die ein paar Ziele haben. Element 6 kamen, als ein 2. Und sie werden in full Englisch gewinnen. Sie sehen, das ist ein 2v3. However, es könnte sehr schnell werden. Sie können eigentlich wiederholfen werden. So in full Englisch werden Sie schnell, dass du musst, diese Spieler auf die Ziele gewinnen und nicht wiederholfen. Weil E6, wenn sie zurückkommen sind, ist es ein 3.
01:07:21 Und Noisy hat das auch für sich selbst.
01:07:46 Oh, no, you never leave a sausage to last. Sorry, they're my mistake, everybody. 2R1C, though. Interesting composition coming in from them, though. You've got the Crypto, you've got the Bangalore, and, of course, you've got the Catalyst as well. But the Crypto is going to be pretty useful in this situation just to scout a fight that's going down, that they might be able to third party or grief or whatever it might be. And I think 07 are about to have a little bit of a surprise themselves because Case Winnie and Crew, Element 6, number one and number two from the previous games, they are rubbing shoulders right now, Dan.
01:08:14 Yeah, I mean, if you go off comfort playing and the Crypto and having the ability to play it across both maps, because we're going to see more Watson when we get to World's Edge, and that's when Crypto will really come into effect, but Bloodhound is going to set the beast of the hunt, and E6 is going to start to push in and press in, and it's going to be Bloodhound versus Crypto, which is going to be two of our beacon characters, but E6 just need to be careful here. You can see they want to press, but there's so much stalling ahead of them right now.
01:08:41 Das Havoc ist...
01:09:08 Bei name and by nature at the moment, just tearing through any enemy that gets in the crosshairs. But E6, as a 2, still surviving, still doing pressure, smoking everything they can. Digis are massive at them for them right now. And somehow, someway, they're still alive. And they might even be back as a full 3. I don't know how E6 are doing it, but they've been phenomenal so far at the start of this match week. Well, E6 is still alive, but did have to expend pretty much all of their utility in that fight.
01:09:36 We'll have to keep moving as well. They need to get healthy. Ultimate Accelerates will be a premium pickup if they can find them because we did see Beast of the Hunt was picked up. We saw the Bangalore Ultimate was used as well. The Rolling Thunder, Bloodhound ult. Everything was used to try and force their way into zone. And in the top 12 now, they're going to have to plan what they do next. We have an opportunity to jump into a listening. Let's see what the plan is ourselves. No, no, no. Play on the ping. Play on the ping. 100%. Play on the ping. We're still on the fucking corner. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it.
01:10:04 Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm. Ich bin mit ihm.
01:10:28 E6 in a horrible position trying to make it work Dan, but this is the problem. There's no way to play as E6, Red Dragon and E6.
01:10:36 LVH all eliminated, we're down to six. The con's quite rightly so intense because the whole lobby at the moment is trying to find somewhere to play and everyone is struggling to do so. Alliance, one of the only teams who is really away from all of the action at the moment and are surviving well. You can see Cold and Infinite going at it. Darkveil goes down to allow Cold to cross to try and finish off Infinite here. Aimpot though, he gets the bat off, but look at all the grief that's happening from the northern side. Alliance just being a nuisance right now.
01:11:04 Ja, wirklich beeindruckt mit wie sie auf alle diese Teams haben, und die Wingman hat eine große Rolle in das.
01:11:33 Es ist nicht möglich zu gewinnen, von dieser Position zu gewinnen. Jetzt geht es um Dammage Control, um zu viel Kp zu gewinnen, um zu viel Kp zu gewinnen, um zu viel Kp zu gewinnen, um ein Team zu kommen. Aber ein Team ist erneut, Mind Eliminated, Infinite ist es, und es wird noch mehr Shreds kommen, aber ich glaube, dass sie nicht mehr leben können. Passion geht es, und sie sind in den Top 3. Sie sind in den Top 3, und sie haben noch den Wingman, sie haben noch die Möglichkeit!
Allianz gewinnt Spiel 2 und Analyse der Team-Performance
01:11:57
01:11:57 Und jetzt ist es Auglust und Hungry gegen Allianz zu sehen, wer wird in der 2. Allianz auf der hohe ground. Auglust und Hungry haben sich ein Res für sie selbst. Damage kommt in von Effekt. Und jetzt hat Hackett versucht, mit der Schildswap zu gehen.
01:12:16 And maybe it can be another victory for Yuki to put under his belt before he leaves the squad. Because they've got the damage. And this should just be clean up now. Easy as that. 1, 2, 3. Alliance take match number 2.
01:12:29 Homer Simpson meme in mind. Do it for Yuki Alliance. And that's exactly what they do in game number two. Just remember, they were in a position where they had some pretty rough armors at the start of that game. Decided to commit to an early northern rotate. They held down that spot for the entirety of their game and then execute in those final moments. Alliance, like I mentioned, they're doing it for Yuki today. They want to send him off in the best way possible. And I tell you what, winning game number two is a pretty good start.
01:12:55 Honestly, like the wall behind me, you see the pictures of Horizon. Horizon? That's not Horizon. What am I even on about? Mirage. You could just have little Yuki pictures there. And we'll make sure that we do it for Yuki. Because, I mean, it is a sad day for Yuki to be leaving the squad. And I think if he can go out with a bang here, it would just...
01:13:13 Das war ein tolles Beispiel durch das ganze Spiel.
01:13:42 No one got close enough to them. And then it was just about finishing off the pieces at the end. Well, I'm going to let you take two minutes just to catch your breath because you've just been giving it the beans and you need to just rest those vocal cords for a few seconds down. I'm going to bring Stella back in here to discuss what we just saw in game number two. Stella, are you there? Are you here? Are you ready to have a little chat? Yes, I am here. I was going to say you were way too nice. First of all, I thought we were kicking him because he mistook Mirage.
01:14:05 I mean, Horizon. But anyways, so not lingering on that. That last match was incredible. I mean, Alliance was able to get early rotations and they were able to have supreme positioning in the end. It was really sad to see E6 just come back and come back and then finally get taken out kind of early. But it's really funny to see how teams always end up clashing super hard at around round five. So it's been really interesting to see everyone survive really well, you know, avoid fights where they can. But then, of course, there's an all out.
01:14:33 battle royale at the very end i think one team to actually it's very interesting that zone to highlight the difference between appear where a zone is ending uh having prior to that zone and having to rotate from the complete other side of the map and we saw that from alliance and e6 right e6 had to come right from the southern side of the zone they did a great job they fought their way in i think
01:14:55 You do not expect to win that game. And you heard it in the comms, right? They hit the evac tower. They landed. They died. But Sweeney wasn't angry. He wasn't mad about it. He was like, that is what it is. We got good KP. We got some placement points. And after our monster game won.
01:15:08 We're pretty happy with that. Whereas Alliance, they had really good prior. They had ring console. They knew where their second zone was going. They had a little bit more information than the teams around them, which allows them to hit an early rotate and get into a position to hold down for the long game. But we're still going to give a shout out to Aimbot, by the way, with that wingman. He was a one-man army in the center of the smoke and the carnage and the cat cues and all of that. He wasn't bothered about that. He was bothered about headshots and he was hitting a few of them.
01:15:29 Yeah, I'm so glad you brought up the point about the comps and how the team leader was like, no, it's okay, it's okay. Obviously he wasn't going to win a 1v2 when everyone else was fully armored. So I love that there was that positivity. It's okay, it's okay, game two, go again. And that mindset is so important.
01:15:46 Also, I want to point out how Alliance used their cat Horizon and Bangor perfectly in the last fight. I mean, Alliance's effect, he's so good at repositioning with Horizon, especially with the cat walls. It is a perfect combination. But I know that we kind of have debates on whether or not we want to use a cat or if you want to use Conduit instead. But let's go ahead and take a look at the results after that match. And Alliance looking really great with eight kills and total of 20 points.
01:16:14 Ja, sehr, sehr stark von Allianz. Auglust & Hungry as well. Sie haben auch schon da oder da, oder? In den ersten zwei Spiele. Also, die ersten zwei Spiele sind sehr konsistent, sehr gut total für sie. Element 6 as well. Wir haben gesagt, hey, sie vielleicht nicht haben die besten Plätze, aber die Kills wieder. Forst du in eine Zone, das ist rough für dich, wo es nicht mehr zu spielen. Und kommen aus dem mit 9 Kills und 11 Punkte, wenn du sie das von dieser Zone machen, ich denke, sie nehmen es jeden Tag. So, great Performance von E6 once more.
01:16:41 Yeah, even though they were in 9th, they did have 9 kills, which is incredible. And we do see here a lot of the teams that we saw playing a little bit better. Ancel Play is actually in 15th now. And with Full English, we did see them kind of struggling to get into Circle, which is why when you bring up the importance of having Ring Console access, it's so important.
01:17:00 Yeah, hopefully these teams are able to get it back together for game number three, the last game on Stormpoint. And do you remember the stats that we brought up with the teams that were more consistently successful on Stormpoint? LVH was certainly one of them. And LVH have been a little bit quieter today on Stormpoint. They did have that elongated fight with 40% worse earlier on today.
01:17:24 Look at the stats from Alliance in that last game. I mean, Effect, Dan Gaskin modeling his hair on, of course, Effect's haircut, as he will deny it, but he's told me in private, and I'm exposing to the world, but it's what he's trying to do. He wants to be the guy to replace Yuki, and he thinks that's the best way, to pretend he's Effect. Oh, I see, I see. Okay, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, no, with Effect being able to rotate... Sorry to cut you off, Stella. I just noticed that he dropped 2k damage in that game Effect. Yeah! We need to highlight that. That's ridiculous. Yeah, I was...
01:17:53 Ja, ich war zu bringen, dass er das Horizont hat, um einen besseren Angle zu helfen. Er machte vieles damage. Natürlich hat er viele Kills, aber es ist weil er seine Team mit Crossfire hat. Und es ist unglaublich. Wir sehen uns die Ergebnisse so far, und Element 6 ist auf top, mit 21 total Kills, die, ich meine, über 2nd place von Allianz, 14, das ist ein sehr großer Jump in Points. Ja, ich meine, die zwei sind ein bisschen weg. August und Hungry tied in.
01:18:21 3rd and 4th, you can see just the kills, maybe the difference between, sorry, excuse me, the placement points, the difference between the two, but points pretty much tied up. Down at the other end though, Fullenglish, who had a pretty good previous game day, they did struggle when these two groups went up against each other the first time, and it seems to be the case once again, but Vamokadair, their move from the wall towards north pad is not working for them. I mean, it's tough to see, there's only one more game left on Stormpoint, so you might as well try it once more before going back to the drawing board, but something needs to change for them, and it needs to change now.
01:18:50 Yeah, listen, I, for the next match, I want E6 to win because they were robbed in the first game. But also, I mean, this would be a great way for Alliance to round out their Stormpoint games. And also, it is the fifth anniversary of Apex Legends. So what a great way to go out, right? Two wins on Stormpoint? I'm just saying. Anyways, we're going to take a quick break before we get into the last game on Stormpoint.
01:21:05 No time to really get too much of a rest, because the games are coming thick and fast today, everybody. Game three is just around the corner. Danny Gaskin, that shirt is magnificent, by the way. I will ask you after the show where you got that one from, because I might get one in a different colour. This might be... Honestly, I think it might fit you. It's like one of those oversized ones.
Horizon Comeback und Bloodhound Theorie
01:21:24
01:21:24 So it will probably look really tight on you, but it might be one of the few bits of clothing we could actually share. Is this one of your ways to say, oh, I've put on a bit of mass, I've been working on... No, no, I might fit you. I'm saying you're big, not I'm saying I'm small. It's oversized for me, but it'll be good for you. That's what I'm saying. Fair enough. Well, there's two teams who seem to be separating themselves a little bit in these first two games, and it's going to be the two teams who, of course, are at the top of the leaderboards. Alliance, though, a return to form and a welcome one, I think, Dan, very important for them just to maybe...
01:21:50 I play with a little bit of a carefree attitude, a little bit more comfort, I would say. And speaking of comfort, I've got to say, effect back on Horizon. I've been waiting for this for a little bit of time as well, because he looks like he's just so much more comfortable playing Horizon than any other legend that he's been playing in the last few weeks. Yeah, I'm surprised we're not seeing more Horizons as well on Stormpoint, considering how important she can be and the differences that she can make.
01:22:16 ...mitigating those height differences that are sometimes available to you. But not just that, you can see in those fights and the way that Effect uses them, you can get out of a fight quickly, you can quickly use a shield battery, you can get back into the fight, the movement that you're available to have as well. I think having the right player on Horizon can be the difference maker in a lot of 3v3s. Not to mention, we're not even talking about her kit and the black hole and the differences that that can make as well in any sort of engagement. So I think it's great to see Effect playing it.
01:22:43 Seems to be very comfortable with 2k damage. I mean, you know he's comfortable, right? Like, that's just ridiculous, that amount of damage. And the fact that he went down. Remember, he got picked back up at one point. Like, it's crazy that we see that these teams are being able to find new ways to put people back on their comfort picks so that they can output damage like that. Yeah, I think one thing that's always overlooked a little bit in Horizon as well is how it counters a lot of the...
01:23:08 The abilities of other characters as well. You see the Rolling Thunder coming from Bangalore, Q over the top of it. Dark Veils, Q over the top of it, if you time it well and you get a little bit damaged yourself. So Horizon certainly, in my personal opinion, I think is a must pick at the moment for a lot of teams. And even though there's been some experimentation away, it's always going to have that value with the grav lift.
01:23:25 Horizon Effect, I think it's a match made in heaven and he seems to be putting in some pretty good performances so far. And we're also seeing a little bit more Bloodhound start to come back into things. And I've got a little bit of theory crafting on this. I like to have fun, right? I think Apex, one of the great things about Apex is you can always think forward on why and perhaps this might work in this meta and all that kind of stuff. And we have seen a little bit of a drop in ring console spawn rates across a lot of POIs, which we saw has affected a few of the games in previous game weeks where...
01:23:54 Teams have maybe made a bad read on Zone and everyone else follows the traffic. And then we have one team sitting there going, hey, cool, we got Zone. Wonderful. And I think the ability to hit Survey Beacons as well on your way to Zone is going to give you a lot of information on where you can plan your rotate and take a more of an isolated fight, right? Instead of just relying on a ring console.
01:24:15 Ja, ich denke, dass...
01:24:35 Bloodhound and Crypto, the only two meta-characters that we have right now that can hit the Survey Beacons, so that's why they're the two that people are kind of dipping into. More so Bloodhound because I feel like it is going to help those teams who are playing in that way because it is slightly more of an aggressive mana because you aren't going to be able to play zone straight away. You are going to be playing through certain POIs and Crypto may be not going to help out.
01:24:58 Ja.
01:25:05 Und ich denke, Bloodhound,
01:25:30 Felt out of the meta a little bit. It's starting to work the way back in. And I'm very excited to see more of it. Yeah, certainly looking forward to seeing how Bloodhound is utilised a little bit. We know that Dark Zero have been tinkering with that in the previous weeks as well. So I love the fact that this is constantly evolving gameplay, right? And then right around the corner, we've got a new season. So who knows what that's going to hold as well. Certainly going to be an exciting few weeks. The match has just started up. By the way, I've got my... Watch this, watch this.
01:25:54 There it is, it's just started up, so we'll be getting into it in just a few moments time. Dan's been holding off, because as we all know, everybody, casters start the game in esports, and Dan's been holding off on it. How would you do that to us? Hold on, I'll press the button, and we'll go. Alright, everyone's in the lobby, they're starting to pick their compositions, and we'll have to see whether we start to see more horizons as we go in, because I think that...
01:26:15 Na have definitely adapted to that quicker than EMEA. For some reason EMEA like to stick to their truths a little bit with some of their composition choices. Na, it seems to be at least 50% plus on Horizon, whereas a lot less here in EMEA. And that's one of the things that I've always found interesting, not just EMEA, not just NA, APAC as well. We start to see such different...
01:26:35 ...kind of approaches to the game, and then you get to LAN, where all those different approaches start to be just fudged together, and suddenly some work, some don't, some that didn't work now work, and it's why all these different regions coming together makes LAN so exciting for me.
Spiel 3 startet und Contest um North Pad geht weiter
01:26:50
01:26:50 Es ist das alles, was jeder spielt für. Und wie ich gesagt habe, am Anfang der Show ist, wir sind über eine dritte der Weg durch jetzt. Und die dritte Spiel ist jetzt auf der anderen Seite. Und die dritte Spiel ist jetzt auf der anderen Seite. Du kannst es sehen, dass jeder in den Compositions wird. Und ich muss sagen, Bloodhound Element 6 ist ein Match made in Heaven für mich. Und das ist genau was sie werden. Once again, Hit.
01:27:12 Excuse me as I catch my breath, but Cold I want to talk about as well, because I've been in pretty good positions so far in these first two games down, but just not being able to execute on those really important kind of top eight, top seven positions where you can turn that into a win.
01:27:25 Yeah, and cold at the moment, they come into this match week on 18 points in 17th position. So they're one of these teams that are on the bubble, right? One of these teams that are kind of okay and they can perform like averagely inconsistent across the board. They don't need anything too big, too dramatic, but you do still have to stay ahead of the race. Speaking of staying ahead of the race, it's another race to North Pad and we get our contest yet again. Remember, Vamos Correa are 2-0 down.
01:27:55 Ja, es war eine Chance, wirklich. Ich denke, die Zone hat es vielleicht ein bisschen einfacher für sie zu leave, weil sie gesagt haben, wir müssen eine Prior Position hier haben, und wir haben einfach genug Weapons, um ein bisschen poke-damage zu lassen, aber es war nicht für sie für sie.
01:28:20 Don't know if they're going to run this time and they're just going to steal the loot like they did previously, but mines, they don't look like they're too worried about fighting it or maybe the threat of a fight. They do have that player up on the extreme height on the kind of crane arm, the breach here, where you can kind of give the information of what's about to happen. And from that, it looks like it's going to be a little bit more quiet. A few shots are going to go down, a little bit of damage is going to be exchanged, but nothing too worrying as we're going to a Stormcatcher zone, everybody. It's looking like we might be pointing either Stormcatcher or down towards the cannon just below.
01:28:49 And I'm still surprised by this move from Bamukure, because... I mean, Mind are technically performing better than Red Dragon at the moment. They've got more points, they have been a lot more successful. They're all around the same kind of area, they've all been struggling a little bit, they're around 20th position in the overalls, but... Clearly, VQ saw something and felt like Northpad was going to be a better position for them to try and take off of Mind, rather than continuing the fight against Red Dragon, but...
01:29:16 Ich denke, es geht darum, was wir vorhin gesagt haben. Wenn es nicht funktioniert, dann geht es woanders. Das ist was VQ zu versuchen hier. Und es hat nicht wirklich funktioniert so far in Nordpad. Aber remember, VQ hat so viele Team Changes gemacht. Was Kachira versucht, mit den Brasilienern, mit den South-Amerikern zu bringen, hat sich zu einem Ende. So jetzt sind sie wieder zurück zu Postkill. Und das ist ein neues Start, ein neues Beginn, so es wird vieles zu lernen.
01:29:44 We've got a revved up Rampage. And I tell you what, this triple swing, it can do so much damage. Ow! Oh, I felt that one in my bones. I don't know about you. There's even more damage coming in as well. And Vamo Correr, unfortunately, it is going to be a good night and sweet dreams once again by the looks of things. One does go down for mine, but that is going to be them being tucked in and kissed on the forehead as they're sent to bed, Dan. That is three games now. No real points to talk about. Two contests lost. Vamo Correr, a rough start for them.
01:30:14 Well, we can start to look at the zone. We're going east over towards Stormcatcher. Infinite have already made their way there. Passion, Full English are already moving. Alliance did have Ring Console, as did Full English, up towards Zeus. So the far northeastern teams are going to be moving pretty fast, although I say that Alliance actually are going to be staying at Lightning. They're more than happy at just holding this northern choke, it would seem. And then all the southern teams are going to be starting to move their way as well. At Coastal Camp, there was a...
01:30:40 Ring console for 40% worse, but they have to go through Pylon, which isn't going to be fun because 2R1C are going to be waiting for them. Yeah, 2R1C sat on height with a Crypto as well, so they're going to have the cameras in the sky droning around and letting them know exactly where 40% worse are. However, they can be forced off height, of course, by the Gibby ult, so we'll have to see if Mandy can have a little bit of an effect on that one. But looking elsewhere as we swing our way around the map to a little bit more southern from the northern side of things where we started looking today.
01:31:08 We're going to go back to 40% worse in and around Pylon and see if they can win this fireshift. Luckily for him, he has a little armor swap poking about. He has a Sentinel. I'll tell you what, one shot with this and a headshot, this man can do damage. Speaking of 40%, it's a 40% pick rate for Horizon in this match. So it has gone up a little bit and we are trending towards that 50% plus mark that I was talking about in North America. But here in Amir, just slightly under, but still.
01:31:33 People are starting to see the value of a Horizon on Stormpoint and what she can add to a team. Now 07, fighting through smokes and anything that also might prevent them, but it's a Watson team they're going up against. Only three Watsons in the lobby right now. Yeah, Watson again, I think is one of those legends we're going to see picked up a little bit now. Now that it doesn't be healing enemies through walls, it gives you a little bit more consistency on areas that you can hold and how you can play around that pylon, but they are going to be able to pick up.
01:32:00 Das ist ein sehr einfaches Kills, und das Staircase für die Endgame ist ein sehr guter Platz zu sein. Look was passiert, in der Rope Shaft, soll ich es sagen? Ich habe ein bisschen Frage, aber es ist was es. Ich bin mir, wo ich jetzt bin. Ich bin mir, wo ich jetzt bin. Wenn du gesagt hast, würde ich wissen, wo du gesagt hast. Also, ich denke, es ist ein Kull-Up, das funktioniert, weil wir stehen, am Moment stehen. Und sie sind einfach nur auf dem Kopf.
01:32:26 Ich denke, das ist gut. Ich denke, wenn du ein Position hast, und du fühlst dich, dass es ein komfortabel ist, musst du zurückkehren, musst du zurückkehren, musst du zurückkehren, musst du zurückkehren, musst du zurückkehren, musst du zurückkehren, musst du zurückkehren. Und ja, du kannst das mit bestimmten Legends tun, wie ein Watson, wie ein Wotzen, aber wenn du ein Composition hast, musst du mitnehmen, musst du mitnehmen, musst du mitnehmen.
01:32:48 07 fühlen sich ein bisschen fruity an. Das ist gut, aber nicht gut genug. Das ist ein sehr aggressiv push und es funktioniert für sie. 07 gewinnen. 07 gewinnen, aber sie haben einen Spieler gewinnen. So, Amphi ist zu sein. Jetzt können sie ihn wieder zurück in. Als ich wieder für die 3rd party bin, aber nicht zu über-Extend bin, ist es zu sein. Und sie sind in ein guter Platz für die Endgame hier. Aber Full English, wir sehen in ein guter Platz für Endgame.
01:33:15 haben die Watssons und die Watssons mit den Watssons zu helfen. Aber es gibt ein paar Fights, wo sie einfach nur ein bisschen rollen. Und, unfortunately, Triple M&K kann das.
Havoc Nutzung und Teamdynamiken im ALGS Pro League Match
01:33:26
01:33:26 Ja, und 30th Position auf der Moment für FullEnglish. So, sie sind in eine ziemlich gute Spot. Sie hatten eine rough Week 1, aber sie haben sich in der zweiten Matchday. Und sie versuchen zu versuchen, mit der Konsistenz zu bleiben in der Top 20. Wir sehen viele Havocs. Ich meine, wahrscheinlich der Grund für das Turbocharger ist in der Crafter. So, nicht nur ist es fantastisch, wenn Sie die Turbocharger haben, aber wenn Sie ein Turbocharger haben, warum würden Sie nicht das Havoc haben? Als wir die Team-Matee back in haben, wir nicht haben die Respawn Beacon, die Mobile Resi ist nicht.
01:33:55 So it is about finding one on the floor. Case when he has one, by the way, as E6 start to press their advantage here. And here is the Bloodhound again trying to force the fight, right? The smoke's not going to be half as effective as they previously were. E6 is going to take this.
01:34:11 E6 ist ein ganzes Spiel für sie.
01:34:40 Das ist ein Zonepool wir nicht gesehen haben für sehr lange Zeit. Ja, es sieht aus wie es geht, es geht sogar weiter nach vorne und das ist gut, aber für Teams wie E6, wie StayHealthy, die auf den anderen Seite sind, haben sie dann zu nehmen, auf die anderen Teams zu nehmen, und sie werden nicht mehr haben, das ist das Schmerz, richtig? Das ist das Schmerz, richtig? Das ist das Schmerz, richtig? Das ist das Schmerz, richtig? Das ist das Schmerz, richtig? Das ist das Schmerz, richtig? Das ist das Schmerz, richtig? Das ist das Schmerz, richtig?
01:35:10 weiter into round 3, but for now still, Zone 2 is 40% worse, still going through Pylon here, and this is what we were concerned about, right? They are just being held out, they're being gatekept. 40% worse, almost in their own minigame at the moment, just a straight TDM on the edge of where the Zone is going to be going in 2R1C.
01:35:32 Understandably, they're just thinking, hey, this might be 3kp for us. But they're going to have to rotate away at some point as well. And this can be a frustration sometimes. Like 40% worse than thinking, why don't you just rotate? Like, why are you holding this for so long?
01:35:42 Why don't you try and progress towards where the zone is going so that you don't have to run into seven teams a little bit later on. But you're 2R1C, you're thinking, hey, we have the ultimate high ground here. This should be easy KP for us. And when we get it, then we can move with even more loot. But I spoke about 2R1C's consistency throughout the match week so far. And they are a team who like to take fights, like to get KP. And even though they haven't had much winning success, they haven't had a win yet, I don't think. They are a team who just is able to pick fights, win fights, and then move.
01:36:11 Das ist ein großer Counter! Das ist der Counter!
01:36:40 Should be an easy, comfortable finish on the first, but good responsive damage coming out here. And actually, this isn't as easy as maybe they thought it was going to be. Are they going to be able to clean it up?
01:36:51 Just about. 40% worse certainly made it difficult, but 2R1C will be able to survive, and these are the kills I was talking about. They pick up some KP, and actually, with the way that this zone's playing out, they should have a relatively comfortable rotation at least into Zone 2, so they won't have to worry just too much. LBH are in Command Center at the moment. They're trying to force their way towards Zone. There is a ring console in front of them, but I don't think they're going to have the time to hit that because they're trying to force their way with only a few moments left on this Zone. 45 seconds.
01:37:20 LVH ist jetzt nicht so schnell. Der LVH ist jetzt nicht so schnell. Der LVH ist jetzt nicht so schnell.
Unvorhersehbare Zone und Teamkämpfe im Command Center
01:37:48
01:37:48 Es ist ein Unpredictable Zone, Paul, aber es könnte sehr gut sein für die Teams, die in die Kommand-Center sind. Der Winner von all diesen Quadsen auf dem Norden sein wird eine bessere Position für wo der Zone ist. Aber es gibt drei Teams hier, wenn nicht vier, es gibt vier Teams hier. Es wird nicht einfach sein, dass es nicht einfach sein wird.
01:38:05 There's two teams up on the height, I think, and one team outside, which is going to be A&C Outplayed, who are just waiting for any damage to be done. This is the ultimate third-party opportunity for them. They also have a Digi on the wingman, which we've already said, wingman equals problem. But LVH trying to stall this, trying to fight their way out. They will be safe in this little corner. They've just got to hope there's no nades coming their way. Swimming through now onto this door. Might be their exit, but there's one some fences there, and it's going to slow them down even more.
01:38:31 That's one of those things, isn't it? You're like, we've run into one of the three Watson teams in the lobby. Of course we have. And you start to think, all right, how do we get out of this? You look at your utility. What have you got available? Do you have grenades? Are you going to be able to burst out together? Do you have to use just pure raw damage? These are the considerations that will be made and will be spoke about. And it has to be made relatively soon. I guess there's not an immediate rush. You can wait for other teams to potentially turn up and help you, which might just be happening here.
01:38:59 Also, just got to wait and maybe see if you can get a few Abilities back to help you. Yeah, hey, right? I think the cat was at 50% if I wasn't mistaken there but 50 seconds left on zone and they're gonna be able to get back in time And do they have an old Excel in the backpack just to speed that process up? Well mind, they've lost one like you mentioned, they've lost two and now this is the opportunity if they can seize it here LVH and get out of this door, they have a chance to move and take this space
01:39:24 Patience is a virtue. Sometimes it really does pay off in Apex Legends. Just wait that extra 10 seconds to see what happens. Don't rush a decision. The zone isn't going to be too much of a problem right now for them either because it has pulled north as we saw and they will be able to survive here for just that little while longer and LBH can see that. They are fine and dandy and they can reside here for quite some time.
01:39:47 LVH will endlich leave and they will be safe. They now have this space to play as well. Some nice head glitches at all the other teams. Keep in mind, by the way, LVH have put themselves in a position that you quite rightly said is a great one if you can leave as one of the last teams from Command Center. Everybody else who had bet on Stormcatcher, maybe that Cannon, they've got to move. They're going to have to shift towards where Passion are, right in the center of Zone. So if they could just live here, LVH, they could survive. They would be in a great spot for Endzone.
01:40:16 Yeah, if we can take a look at the map when the action subsides Passion are in dead center zone in the one building that is going to be in the circle as well and that's where everyone is gonna start to naturally progress towards so even though Passion hold this spot they will have to hold it very tightly now at the moment LBH they're on the hunt they smell a couple of players and it is gonna be the remainder of mine and it looks like it's gonna be the end of their day
01:40:41 Das wird sie dann fallen. Die 12-Squads jetzt bleiben, als LVH haben sie aus der Exit-From-Command, jetzt finden sie in eine Kommandung-Position selbst. Sie haben vollständige Kontrolle über die Northern-Side dieser Zone. ANC Outplay, sie werden sie in den Zip-Line gehen, aber jetzt sehen Sie 07 machen ihre Spiel, versuchen sie zu erreichen, wo der End-Game ist. Es ist Passion inside der Building, aber 07, nachdem Moved Early, nachdem Moved Quickly, jetzt haben diese Wahl zu spielen.
01:41:09 Ja, sie haben den Wall zu spielen, aber du bist sehr vulnerable von beiden Westen und East hier. Die Smokes sind sehr wichtig, aber hier kommt E6. Sie sind auf dem Gebäude, E6 zu sein, die wir schon gesehen haben. Und tatsächlich, sie können die High-Ground hier halten. Okay, sie haben nicht die Defensive Legends, die nicht zu halten, aber sie haben die Guns. Sie haben die Möglichkeit, die Teams zu pressureieren. Aber sind sie werden von 07 geimpft? Eine Sache sie haben, ist die Smokes von Bangalore, um den LOS zu verabschieden.
01:41:38 Das ist gut, dass Sie die Heide haben. Sie haben das kleine Nook zu spielen. Sie haben die Smokes zu blockieren, das die Line der Sight, die sie zu spielen. Und als alle anderen haben die Stormcatcher zu spielen, werden sie auf der Ultimate Highground haben. Die Difficulty ist, kann man es, kann man es halten? Weil andere Teams werden das und versuchen, das Heide auszunehmen.
Strategische Positionskämpfe und Teamzusammensetzung im Endgame
01:42:00
01:42:00 Look at the amount of open space. 40% of the circle is taken up by the mountain, and then 50% of it is just open area. There's a few rocks, there's a few ridges you can play around, but this building is the endgame. This is where everyone wants to be able to get, and that's why we saw these few teams make their way as quick as possible once they had that information. And that information could have come from a Survey Beacon as well for E6, and perhaps that's how they were able to just see where they needed to go, as now other teams started to make their move as well.
01:42:29 12 Teams still remaining. The 3 Teams who have been involved in our endgames 1, 2 and 3. In the standings Alliance 07 and E6, all of them still alive in this lobby as well. Cybercats trying to make their move. This looks like a play for kills for them at the moment.
01:42:47 Ich habe ein paar Sekunden zurück, als Sie sehen, in der Killfeed, der Slab hat Hacks genommen. Hacks ist auf der Seite, aber er ist in der Position zu werden. Das ist das Height, das ist wo jeder muss. Das ist das, was wir waren Teeing-up. Swarmcatcher ist ein guter Platz, aber jetzt müssen Sie rausgehen. Cybercats können nicht das tun, als es wird es lighten, wenn Sie die Kills auf den Weg kommen.
01:43:07 Und jetzt so viel commotion passiert in der Moment aus dem Stormcatcher, als E6, von dieser Position, kann auch wiederholfen, kann auch wiederholfen, kann auch wiederholfen, KP. Sie haben so gut gemacht in diesem Spot, und jetzt können sie die Rewarden von dem, als die Vollenglisch gerade überlebt. Aber jetzt die Souther-Teams sind jetzt wiederholfen, als die Allianz haben noch einen Effekt.
01:43:26 Er ist ein 1-Mann-Armee, aber kann er etwas tun hier mit der Hapbo? Ich war zu sagen, Allianz haben 1.5. Unfortunately, sie haben ihn nicht mehr. Er wird es nicht mehr. Allianz fallen, als wir in den Finals zurückkommen. E6, das High Ground für sie ist alles, aber mit der Compassion. Sie versuchen, ein bisschen Druck auf Reddragons zu bringen. E6 müssen sich in eine Position, wo sie nicht zu lassen, dass sie jemanden queue auf sie können. Sie müssen sich auf jeden Fall bemerken, ob die Defensive bombardements kommen, ob die Rolling Thunders kommen.
01:43:56 Das kann wirklich dämmen, dass die Leute von E6 spielen können. Aber für heute ist es ein guter Job von E6 zu halten.
01:44:03 LVH.
01:44:27 We mentioned this is going to be the team that's going to be closest to them, that can cause them a problem. If they can clean this up, they might have a little bit of a walk-in themselves. 07, of course, are having a little bit of a look. Red Dragon eliminated. In the meantime, the final remaining players from that squad. But 44 seconds left. The Digitreat again is the difference inside of this smoke. Good damage coming in from Life. And now he's going to swing out and finish his own kill. But can they finish off this fight?
01:44:51 Das sieht nicht so aus. Obwohl, Outplayed hat sich schon genug verdammt, wo jetzt Hanzo ist zu fallen. LVH geht ab, sechs Quads bleiben, aber Outplayed könnte auch sein können, weil sie von allen anderen Teams sind. Und E6 ist still der König von der Castle, auf dem Platz auf der Ebene zu machen, damit sie möglichst viel verdammt. Full Englisch geht ab, so hat Outplayed. Es sind vier Quads left.
01:45:11 4 squads left, Cold healthy. Now, this is an opportunity for Cold to answer the question that we posed in that previous game. They get into these positions, into the top 5s, into the top 6s, but it's very rare we see them with a championship banner in front of them, having been able to close out the game. The wall is going to go down as well. They had to use that to get into this position, so now they have to wait and see if they can get damage onto E6, maybe wait for abilities to come back. A lot of loot boxes down there for them to maybe find some ult excels, but it's looking like a rough road.
01:45:41 So the circle is going to end just south of this building at the moment. So Cold are okay right now, but my worry for them is they're very visible to the three teams that are in the side of the building. Cold, what they need is the teams in the buildings to fight each other, and then they slowly make their way up and find a position to kind of work with. And this is winnable from Cold's position. I think this is winnable from both Cold's position and he's actually...
01:46:03 I'd say every team, bar maybe Passion, has a really good spot of winning, a really good chance of winning. Passion I'm worried for, because they're kind of stuck in this building, and usually if you're the team within the building, you get focused quite a lot, so Passion will have to do something special. Well, E6, the only thing that might stop them is maybe Meds, maybe Ammo, because I did move to this point.
01:46:22 Oh, ich liebe das. Ich liebe das.
01:46:51 All they're doing is staying out of enemy sightlines. They have that wall now to work with, and the zone is going to force these teams off the building. So Cold, they just need to stay healthy. If they can stay as a 4-3, this could be winnable, but they just have to be careful they don't get jumped on here. Respawn Beacon just called in to give a little bit more cover here from 07, but the Wingman, Dan, we've mentioned it so many times already in the first two games. It could be a difference maker. One headshot, 95 damage. It changes the fight almost immediately.
01:47:19 So much damage being done, so many teams being involved in this one as well, but who's gonna take it here?
01:47:44 Kallmann 6 will be eliminated. Kold will be eliminated as well. It's 07 who survived all of that carnage. Amphi still has the wingman. He also has some smokes to play with, but it's a 2v2 situation now. Natsuki gets the shield swap as well. And now look at the angles being taken by Amphi. The controller man who was picked up to do exactly this is moving in to close this game out. 07 win two games already today out of the three. Stormpoint, the issues have been addressed.
Analyse von 07's Sieg, Teamzusammensetzung und Season 20 Spekulationen
01:48:12
01:48:12 What a performance from 07 as well. They held that side of the building for so long. They created cover, like unnatural cover, using the respawn beacon just to delay a little bit more when they had to push. But then it comes down, when it's a 3v3v3v3 like that, when there's four teams that are fighting and the Dark Veil start to arrive and the smoke starts to go down, you need to be looking at your controller players. You need to be looking at your players who can hit those shots in those...
01:48:36 Weil die damage output ist so wichtig, dass es so wichtig ist, dass es teams so wichtig ist und es bleibt. Fair play to Passion. Ich dachte, sie würden es grieftet ein bisschen mehr, aber sie waren able zu escape und nehmen die Position aus Kold. Aber weil sie die damage aus Kolde genommen haben, sie waren unabhängig von Kolde zu bekommen. Aber es war 07, sie haben das Spiel perfekt, wirklich. Und das sind 2 Wins auf Stormpoint für sie, so sie sind glücklich.
01:49:00 Ja, ich denke, das ist ein wichtiges Moment für sie. Natürlich ist es wichtig für die 2v2, aber einfach zu stoppen E6 von der Katwahl, und zu überlegen, dass es zu viel damage ist, sogar durch die Wall, zu überlegen. Und nur noch lange genug, und look at das, 10 Kills für 07. Alongside der Placement Points ist das Perfect Apex von ihnen. 22 Punkte, Overall Passion, wie du gesagt hast, ein sehr, sehr guter Spiel für sie auch. Und es ist auch noch so, dass es eine der Teile mit den meisten Kills in der Lobby wird Element 6.
01:49:28 Yeah, E6, who I don't think they will be too disheartened with how that went, because they got to that late game, their composition doesn't really help them in positions like that when there's that many teams, because they don't have the cover to work with, they don't have the Dark Veils to utilise, but they still picked up, excuse me, a good amount of points. Elsewhere, as we go further down, Red Dragon only getting the two.
01:49:50 And we get into our bottom 10 again for Vamokre. It's 0 points on Stormpoint for the entire 3. And we'll have to see whether World's Edge can be a little bit more favorable for them. But kind of similar stories across the board as we were on Stormpoint from matches 1 to 3. Teams being relatively consistent with their rotations and with the kills they were able to find. 2R1C, again doing what they do best. Not great placement, but they picked up 6 kills. They get 7 points on the board and they'll be happy with that.
01:50:19 Well, the good news for Vamo Carrere, is it, I think if I'm sat there right now as Stella rejoins us, I'm probably saying, don't worry guys, it can't get any worse. So that's true, it cannot physically get worse because they have no points. There is only up, you know, the only way is up. You know, yeah, unfortunately. But listen, that match was so fun to watch. I mean, the action was incredible. I honestly thought...
01:50:43 Kold had a really good opportunity to win there, but they had to push first. I am disappointed that E6 did have to end up fighting Passion that was directly underneath. That's kind of one of the cons of being on top of a building. You do have to fight the team directly under you before focusing your attention elsewhere. Otherwise, I think they definitely would have placed a little bit higher. But I don't know, Gaskin, what do you think about that whole using the Horizon Ultimate to go over the cat wall?
01:51:06 I mean, I think getting the queue down is always going to be very important. And it just, the problem is when you queue up in the air as a full team, you are vulnerable to just everyone looking up and everyone focusing you. And sometimes it's about trying to act last so that you're unseen whilst all the commotion is happening. But as soon as you put yourself above all of those dark veils, the only thing everyone can see is you in the sky. So if all three of you do it, then suddenly you leave yourself vulnerable. Sometimes you'll see one player do it whilst everyone else tries to traverse, but because they didn't have a catalyst of their own.
01:51:35 you don't have the benefit of being able to bounce between those dark veils. But they gave it a go. Sadly, it didn't really work out for them. Yeah, I have a lot more thoughts on Team Comp, but we'll get to that later. First, I am honored to introduce Church, the first Black female caster for NA Challenger Circuit. She's agreed to sit down with us for an interview. And I'm told that her favorite Team Comp is something called Meat Mountain. Talk us through that one. That's definitely one way to start it off, Stella.
01:52:04 But yes, Meat Mountain is one of my favorite team compositions. Yes, yes. Gibby, Newcastle, and a caustic composition there just absolutely gets the people going, especially for charity tournaments that I've taken place in. And so every time I do partake in a charity tournament at the end with our last match going into game six, I typically ask my teammates, you know, how do you feel about a little bit of Meat Mountain action going into this one? And typically everybody's always all for it.
01:52:32 That sounds like a great pizza name and I'm really hungry now, but I'm actually really curious, how do you think that comp would do in Final Circles as we lead into our Final Circles talk for Stormpoint?
01:52:43 That's a deep question, right? So it depends on the confidence that you have. Meat Mountain takes a lot of confidence, right? If you're going to succeed, you need to know how to position yourself with a character that's more bunker-based and less movement-based. So to be completely honest, if you wind up like 07 sitting in End Zone very early and you do have a composition such as Meat Mountain, you're more than likely going to succeed going into that final zone.
01:53:10 So I think it entirely depends on RNG and positioning.
01:53:16 I'm going to jump in with a question for you now, Church. Firstly, hello. It's been lovely to very briefly meet you before the show. Let's talk about what we've seen from 07 so far, because I think it was very interesting that we've had the interview with Natsky before things got underway. And he was talking about, hey, we've got some really good spots. We'll be able to control things. We're starting to work things out and things are starting to feel right. And then today that's kind of come to fruition, right? We've seen a really strong performance, two wins out of three. What do you think has been the secret to success for them so far?
01:53:45 I mean, I can tell you right now in my notes, I jotted down patience about 7 billion times, especially coming from NASCI, who I had the utmost pleasure of getting to know during the previous TwitchCon. It's very surprising, and I think it showcases a lot of development. Now having 07, a very stable team of fun, energetic composition and team. I mean, NASCI, I think, here just showcases what Perseverance looks like.
01:54:12 And what it looks like to finally find a team that you mesh very well with. If you listen to their comms, which we all have had the pleasure of doing so, you can tell that it's always good, good vibes there, 407. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, so let's go ahead and take a look at the last three games and go over the final circles here. Can you break down the action for us here?
01:54:33 Ja, so I mean, going into match one, you notice here on this end rotation for endzone, E6 takes a very wide approach and swings wide left here into this endzone on the southern side. And I mean, you can't help but notice that Slab goes absolutely nuclear here, sending it with the Havoc.
01:54:56 Taking their time with this approach, as you can see, you have them sitting on the edge, but they get that location, they start to notice the action over there at the building, and the shots out of K20 allows E6 to fly in and create this entry. The entry damage was there, however, as I mentioned, Slab flies in, Crack flies in, Double Havoc with Turbo, and they just clean it up, but 07 being incredibly patient here.
01:55:22 Sie sehen das, und Nogs kommt in und bekommt ein Early-Immediate-Entry-Knock. Und das ist, ich glaube, das ist der Grund, warum sie das gemacht haben. Mit 07's Patience ist hier so lange, es endet sich auf, und sie hat es geschafft. Case 20, unfortunately, es geht um, für die Fences, aber 07, ich glaube, der Entry-Knock da ist.
01:55:49 Now for match 2, it was a northern zone, which definitely surprised me as we've seen a lot of southern zones. But as you can see, Aimbot here fighting for their lives. I mean, they sat here for so long. It was incredibly impressive how they were able to stay alive, get KP along the way, all while just continuing to gain placement points as well. So the chaos ensues. We do have OAH.
01:56:15 die Trenches und die Positionen sehr gut für Endzone sind. Das ist wie sie in die 3rd-Party-Opportunität von INF zu bekommen, die INF Valiantly hat, 3rd-Place hier. Aber wenn es geht, Allianz wird was Allianz best machen, besonders für Yuki hier in seiner letzten Person für Allianz. Sie holen die ultimative Obi-Wan Kenobi.
01:56:41 und sagen, ich habe die High-Ground und sagen, ich habe die High-Ground, und sagen, es ist absolut krass, in der Closen-Out-Match-2 zu sein. Bein Patient wieder, das ist eine andere wichtige Worte hier. Sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben ihre Zeit, sie haben sie geholfen, sie haben sie geholfen, sie haben sie geholfen, sie haben sie geholfen, sie haben sie geholfen, und ich denke, das ist das wie sie es gemacht haben, als sie haben sie gemacht.
01:57:03 Now, Match 3, I was speechless for quite some time. There was so much action the entire time. I love zones like this because you get to truly see how players react, right? It's not always just sitting in and waiting for time to come by. 07 does that very well here, sitting below the building, hugging that wall. However, there were so many teams that had to actively react to new players, new...
01:57:29 wie diese Katwall, die in der Endzone kommen und versuchen, zu reagieren, wie möglich. E6 hat einen tollen Job mit der Bloodhound. Sie hat es sehr gut benutzt, aber wie Stella hat es gesagt, zu kämpfen, zwei Teams zu kämpfen, ist sehr schwierig. 07, die Patience und die Hoffnung in der Team ist, glaube ich, das hier sehr gut ist.
01:57:54 Du hast Natski, und ich glaube, das war Amphi. Sie haben einen tollen Job, auf sich zu bleiben. Ich bin sicher, die comms waren sehr hektive. Du hast Natski mit den Transfer, wenn es notwendig ist. Aber sie bekommen die Armorswappen. Und der Controller Demon mit einem Wingman, mit einem Digital Threat, wird nicht stopt in einer Situation wie diese, besonders wenn du einen 1v2 zu cleanest.
01:58:19 Oh my god, amazing. Thank you so much for leading us through that. Now, Gaskin, I haven't let you talk at all to our guest, so I want you and Church to break down the series results. Firstly, I mean, Meat Mountain and Star Wars references? Church, you're my favorite caster already, all right? We need to get you on the show more often for sure. I appreciate that.
01:58:38 Amazing stuff walking us through the final circles. Always great to see different people's point of view. As we look now at the series standing, so E6 with their domination, 44 points they find themselves on. 28 of those are kills, playing so aggressively. Just talk me through the bottom 10 though, from what you've seen, Church. I mean, there's been some struggles for some of the teams.
01:59:00 I mean, you guys did take mention of Vamo. It's unfortunate. You know, it comes down sometimes to RNG, right? They did try to choose a new POI to land at with the contest. However, a location like Northpad just does not have enough, in my opinion, to succeed. We do see that in Match 1, Kashera lands and finds three P2020s off-drop.
01:59:23 So I think that's definitely something to take note of. Unfortunately, some of those teams did not fare well on Storm Point. However, there are three more matches to go, and it's anybody's game at the end of the day.
01:59:35 That's true. Oh, and speaking of it being anyone's game at the end of the day, y'all, it's Apex's fifth anniversary. We know season 20 is coming out. I mean, we have to talk about what we might think is going to be happening next season. And I feel like I can't really talk about this because I have an article coming out tomorrow bright and early about everything you need to know about it. So I'm going to let y'all take some speculations. I don't want to sit out of this on set.
02:00:00 I'm not speculating until I play it. This is me. I'm one of those people. I'm not reading anything until it's out. I will, of course, read your wonderful piece. Don't worry, I'll make sure I do that. But I'm one of those people who's like, I don't like reading things on paper until, because I want to play it and see how it actually feels, if that makes sense. Plus the excitement, right? I don't want to be ready for it. I want to get into the game. I want to be playing. That's fair, Church. What about you?
02:00:26 I think one thing that I'm definitely looking, I'm hoping rather to see is a reduction in digital threats. Now we know about the infamous Digi Day and I would hope that maybe we can reduce the chances of that happening going into season 20. I think it also does create that need for Bangalore smoke as often as it is placed and I think it would reduce the visual clutter if digital threats were a little bit harder to come by.
02:00:53 Yeah, I think these are all, I think those are good points that should be brought up. Thank you so much for speaking with us today. I cannot wait to talk to you more about NA later today. So thank you so much for speaking with us. Absolutely. Thank you so much for having me. Oh my goodness. What a great breakdown play by play from church. I mean, Gaskin, she was just shredding it.
02:01:15 Just rolling through. I thought I was ready to jump in just in case she wanted to breathe her. But no, she was doing just what Mark does sometimes and absolutely blitzing through. That's what we love to see. Also gave me a little rest. I was able to just catch my breath a little bit and just rest my voice. But I mean, Season 20, we knew or we had heard that Season 20 was going to be arriving mid-season for ALGS. And we were kind of like, all right, well, let's not talk about it yet because it is going to change a lot. So that's why picking up points now at this stage is so important.
02:01:45 Oh, it is killing me, but I cannot, you know what? We're going to have to schedule a time to sit down and talk about everything tomorrow, so we're going to do that. But in the meantime, I'm sorry y'all don't get to rest your voice that much because we're getting into the next game, so I'm going to let y'all take it away. I'm just getting warmed up. I don't know about resting, Dan. We're only three games in, mate. Come on, we do this for four days in a row normally.
02:02:10 I didn't say I needed it, I just said I enjoyed it, which is also fine. Fair enough, I'll let you off on that one. But it is, of course, the end of Stormpoint and for us to change maps now and go over to World's Edge, which we've already seen statistically, Dan, from some of the teams we were looking at.
02:02:24 Ja, sie sind eigentlich die best-performing und auf Worlds-Edge in Emiya. 62 Punkte sie haben zu bekommen auf Worlds-Edge.
02:02:53 So we've got our two best World's Edge teams in EMEA competing against one another, and we'll have to see whether they can continue to find that consistency. Other teams have also performed very well on World's Edge. 2R1C, 48 points for them, they've been able to find. Passion have been able to find 43 as well. So we're now leading away from our Stormpoint teams, the likes of E6 that we were talking about, and now we start to look at those who might find more success, a little bit more structure, and less about...
02:03:23 und mehr Aggression. Und das ist auch eine Chance, um die Watssons zu verändern. Wir sehen uns mehr Watssons zu sehen. Wir sehen uns mehr Watssons zu sehen, die Legend-Selektion, ein paar Watssons zu wählen, und wir werden sehen, ob sie kommen.
02:03:52 because Aftermath are going to be taking the fight against LVH here. It is a contest, and it is going to be one which I think probably has more on the line here for Aftermath than it does for LVH. Aftermath with the RE45. I love the RE45 in the early stages, by the way. It's kind of replaced the Alternator for me, and look how aggressive they're trying to be at picking up from this initial damage, and oh, tries to hide the smoke, but doesn't get the kill just... Oh, finally. Okay, they do trade out, and it's going to be two versus two.
02:04:21 I was just as surprised as everybody was there, where I just saw a player stood there. Presuming they don't have a gun, by the way, off-drop, you would imagine. But at the moment, it's going to be Vifes who's trying to hold off an army push. But look at Jayhanzo, he's got a little flank going on here. Lifen has gone down and now it's all up to Vifes. But he does have a peacekeeper. No, he's only got a Sentinel on the flatline to work with. So we'll have to see if he can hit some big shots. But Sentinel can change fights, Stan. But it's about hitting the shot. You can't afford in this situation...
02:04:48 mit zwei Spielern alive, nicht zu schwingen, und sie lassen ihn auf dich einschalten. Er spielt die Conduit, so das hilft dir mit den Shields, wenn du das Initial Damage machst, dann schnell die Q-Welt. Aber sie spielen das schnell, sie spielen das careful. Und ich liebe das, es versucht ihn aus dem Knockdown, aber der 70 schlägt, und es schlägt wieder!
02:05:13 No, I'm unfortunately excited and that's why yeah, that's why we're gonna see maybe them with a little bit of a less points total than they do have on storm point that contest is hurting them, but We have seen you know
02:05:26 If they can pick one up, they certainly know how to get the game done. So Aftermath are going to come out on top here at Overlook. Elsewhere, it looks like it's pretty quiet elsewhere for Contest. But speaking of Zone Down, where are we going? Where are we going to see our endgame taking place? We are heading, Marcus, to the northeast of World's Edge, up towards Climatizer, and maybe even further north, depending where that circle does pull. Aftermath, by winning that fight, will get Ring Console at Overlook as well, so they'll be able to get that information and then rotate accordingly. They can hug the...
02:05:54 Hey, I said it couldn't get any worse. Well, it's already got better because they played some Apex Legends, which is always a nice thing to do when you're playing Apex Legends.
02:06:21 ExoClan versuchen ihren Weg nach dem Hillen, durch Epicenter zu machen, aber es ist ein Team, dass sie das Height haben, aber es ist ein Team, die sie müssen in der Vecinität haben. Ein paar Teams, ich würde sagen, drei Teams haben gesagt, und ich sage dir, was? Red Dragon hat sich gerade über den Weg gebracht, und ich sage dir, was? Red Dragon just got caught crossing die Straße und nicht looking both ways, sie hat sich mogen in den Mitteln. Das ist immer sehr frustrierend als auch, wenn du...
02:06:48 Loser player, just because you're trying to make your rotation, you don't realise how many squads are in the area. That's why you have to keep your ears to the ground. Arcstar takes off the door. And this isn't really a great spot to be for any of these teams at the moment. I mean, Geyser, sure, you can survive here and you're in the next zone, but what happens afterwards? And you're also making a lot of noise. There are still more southern teams to start rotating here, and they might try and join this.
02:07:12 I think my only thought process is maybe some teams were looking to hit an evac round to the back of Overlook and rotate round the edge of zone to Climatizer, but everyone had the same idea and met up at the same time. And one team thought, hey, we can third party this. And then all of a sudden we've got a standoff happening where nobody's really winning, to be honest with you. And I'm sure that Cold right now, who land over at Saks, have just walked through and gone.
02:07:33 Why are there three teams in Geyser? They're probably just as confused as anyone in the lobby right now. I can hear it in Graceful's voice. I can hear him saying, why are there three teams in Geyser? As they suddenly decide to go back to Big Maud and it is not worth it. It is not worth trying to go through it, but they also know that down at Stax, 40% worse are going to be in the area. So they are just going back towards another team potentially here. So I'm interested to see how they plan this rotate.
02:08:00 Well, they might be waiting to see if they can hit the Zone 3 Beacon. You can see there is a ring console over at Big Maud, so maybe that's the play for them. 40% worse, maybe thinking about doing the same thing. So we might see that little bit of an engagement. Oh, wow. There you have made their play. And it's going to be a play to try and take this off a full English, but it's all up to Nags now on the Conduit. Team teammates have fallen. On the Kalis though, he's going to be able to peek in and out of these walls. He's going to try and bait one in. He does some good damage, but the shields are being stripped away.
02:08:29 07 wird eliminiert. Stormpoint war schön für sie.
02:08:33 Full English hold their ground, but Exo Clan are looking to move in now and maybe pick up these pieces. Oh, interesting. Exo didn't push the third party initially. They actually went to the wrong place, but now they're trying to push it. They realize that these rocks could be game-winning rocks. This is why we're seeing so much action happening here. Everyone knows what a position this could be for the endgame. Young Hong Kong taking a lot of damage, but it doesn't matter. The rest of the team is able to do it as Exo Clan get the damage, but now Vamos Cré are also in the vicinity looking to maybe try and take the pieces off of this.
02:09:02 Es ist eine schwierige Situation für Fullenglish. Sie sind in der Position, die ich glaube.
02:09:26 Das ist die Endzone. Sie haben die Ring-Konsole. Sie gewinnen die erste Fight, aber sie können nicht auf den 3rd-Party halten. Und dann die 4th kommt in. Und das ist einfach so, was können wir machen? 07 wollte das Spot. Sie wollten das Aggressiv. Und sie können, dass sie das Spiel wie das und können, weil sie das in den ersten drei Spiels gemacht haben. So sie haben eine Points-Total, die sich ein bisschen mehr aufgeräumt hat. Das ist einfach nur der Detrimente der Full-Englisch, wirklich. Die Collateral-Winne ist ein Fortunat für sie.
02:09:54 I was almost expecting another team to arrive, and like the whole game was just gonna play out of everyone just coming for the northern zone, trying to get those rocks. Just aping Apex Legends, but no, it is gonna be Vamogrea who eventually take this northern side, and you can see the reason why. Look where this circle is going. VQ now in one of the primary spots. As long as that circle does keep pulling towards them, they can hold a fantastic position, and we know that VQ very good at holding spots when they do get into these kind of areas. They weren't really able to do it.
02:10:24 Aber jetzt haben wir eine Chance zu sehen, was Koshira und die resten der Squaden können, wenn sie eine Circle zu spielen können. Für Allianz haben sie eine Ring-Console nach Thermal Station, so sie sind wohl aware, dass sie die ganze Welt übernommen haben. Das kann auch 40% sagen, dass sie auch das Information haben, aber es scheint, dass sie vielleicht weitergehen. Sie sind ein bisschen behind, und wenn Allianz weitergehen, dass sie sich nicht weitergehen.
02:10:53 Ja, ich denke die Allianz haben left. Die Allianz nicht wirklich wollen, aber wenn sie hier hören können, dann können sie sich zurückziehen. Und sie werden vielleicht zurückziehen, weil nicht nur 40% worse sind sie auf den Crafter. Kolde sind alle alle hinter ihnen, als auch. Wir haben sie gesehen, was auf die Geyser ist, und haben sie gesagt, was auf die Erde ist hier? Und haben sie veränderten ihre Rotation komplett. Sie werden vielleicht um 40% worse auf den Harvester zu kommen, und sie werden sie auf die Garde selbst. Und ich weiß nicht, 40% worse wird, sie werden sie sagen, was sind hier?
02:11:23 Well, at least they have the bubble down to protect themselves on the craft. But you can see, it's sneaky-peaky time. They are slowly crawling up towards them. But now, suddenly, it's given up. They know they're there, and the commotion starts to begin. Horizontal went in, and now 40% Werfs are just trying to survive. They're trying to escape. Doesn't look like it's going to be happening, though, because JMW and Tyler are going to jump down onto Mandy. They'll take him down.
02:11:48 But they have given up the high ground. Now, how are your meds looking, boys? Because Cold, luckily, are still on the crafter and still crafting some medkits. So they will be able to force 40% worse away and should claim this crafter for their own. But can they finish off these final two players? Are they going to be able to do so? Are they going to be griefed by them?
02:12:07 Es ist eine Entscheidung, die muss sehr schnell sein werden, weil Zone 3 ist gekommen und das ist das, wenn es wirklich anfangen wird. Und es ist 40% geworden, das ist einfach nicht so gut für uns zu sein. Wir sind jetzt hier. Ja, die letzten zwei haben sich in den Balloon geblieben und wir werden versuchen zu versuchen, sie werden Evac Tower auf Evac Tower zu gehen und versuchen, einfach zu werden. Es wird ein langer Weg für Kold, aber wir werden mit ihnen in den nächsten Mal schauen.
02:12:33 Now everyone else is starting to move from south to north. Red Dragon, Augless and Hungry, Pest Control and Alliance are all moving at the same time. And the last player from 40% worse that survives is going to be able to at least get into Monument. But it's where you go from here, to be honest. It's just about trying to pick up maybe one placement point, get into that top 15. Alliance now moving their way up to the height of Epicenter, trying to have a look at Augless and Hungry. And this is always a great fight. This is one we've seen so many times in the EMEA region. Two of the best fighting teams that...
02:13:01 Amir hat produziert. Duking it out und posturing up gegen einen anderen moment. Interessant, nur eine Note, bei der Wammel-Korea ist in der Gott-Spot. Ich denke, es ist etwas, dass du in den Backen der Augen wirst, was auf den Storm-Point passiert. Es ist wirklich eine bessere Möglichkeit, die Wammel-Korea haben. Elsewhere, außerhalb der Wammel-Korea ist, und außerhalb der Wammel-Korea ist, wird Aftermath gewinnen. Und sie gewinnen den Kampf gegen zwei Rats-One-Controllers. Und ich sage dir, es ist immer noch etwas...
02:13:29 Therapeutic about hearing a Peacekeeper hit for big numbers. Still, to this day, it's one of my favorite noises. I mean, it always will be. It's one of the OGs, isn't it? So it's always going to be satisfying because it just brings you back memories. It's a five-year anniversary, so we can start to be nostalgic all we like here today.
02:13:47 And then we get another view of that circle and where it's going. And now you can start to see why there was so much action happening on that northern side. I do love that Vamokrea are starting to spread themselves out a little bit, making themselves big, making sure that they can hold as much space as possible so that they don't allow other teams to jump on them, like Full English allowed teams to jump on them. I say allowed to, maybe they weren't expecting, we didn't really get to see it, but Vamokrea certainly want to keep that for as long as possible.
02:14:12 Well, Lions are taking the fight against August and Hungry. They've already got that first knock. Let's jump into Elissa and see if they can finish things off.
02:14:36 Okay, ich bin ein bisschen. Ich bin ein bisschen. Ich habe einen Balloon. Ich habe einen Balloon. Ich habe einen Balloon. Ich habe einen Balloon. Ich habe einen Balloon. Ich habe einen Balloon. Ich habe einen Balloon. Ich habe einen Balloon. Ich habe einen Balloon. Ich habe einen Balloon.
Alliance sichert sich einen komfortablen Sieg und Team-Eliminierungen
02:15:05
02:15:05 So Alliance win that fight very very comfortably down they roll August and Hungary somewhat surprising to see but I want to talk about the shots from Yuki by the way
02:15:24 Das war nasty. Das war halt. Das war ein bisschen filthier. Das ist genau das, was ich möchte in der early morning sehen, hier in Nordamerika. Wir sind in Amir, aber ich bin in Nordamerika, insofern. Wir wissen von jetzt, Marc. Stop sagen es. All right, Lines sind in der Circle, so sie sollte okay sein. Du bist mit dir selbst.
02:15:44 Ich kann einfach hören, Marc. Ich kann einfach hören, Marc. PestControl ist dead. PestControl ist dead, und vielleicht mehr Teams fallen in ein paar Sekunden. 40% wert. Somehow, by the way, still alive. Und zurück zu einem voll 3. So Zarephir pulled off the Miracle. Und Mandi, he's still got his Mastiff inside the Bubble.
02:16:01 The Bubble really working out for them at the moment, especially with all the Ultimates going down. But can he get to the rest of the team? Looks like yes. But the Lions do have high ground above them as another Black Hole now comes in. And this might be the end, finally, for 40% worse. Sadly, the Gibraltar goes down first, as always does happen.
02:16:18 And Alliance will clean up the pieces. So 40% worse, eventually fall. But they did get their placement points. As ANC Outplayed also go down, they get one placement point. As we're down to 11. But now because Alliance committed to this, it looks like Red Dragon have got a little bit of high ground above them. But Red Dragon's just a 2, right?
02:16:34 No, they're a 4-3, nevermind. Oh, they've got a bow check. Also Cold were eliminated in the meantime. If you're wondering where the team deep in Zonius, they're now deep in Death's Boxes as Red Dragon try and hold out Alliance for now. But they've got to think about planning their next Rotate as well because you can't afford to be caught in Zone at this point. Look at Jukes. Jukes rocking the Caustic. Kicking it back a little bit old school here with the Caustic pick. Yeah, Caustic pick. I mean, there's certainly warrant to it, especially on World's Edge. You can make it work. It does offer a lot of different...
02:17:01 Stiles are played that's for sure. Let's see whether it ends up working out for them, but Alliance now up into the skies and these Arc Stars could be deadly. This is where Effect does his best work. If he can get up into that queue, take a position away, this is the damage he can do. Augluston Hungry by the way, Unlucky did survive that fight. However, I'm not sure that anyone from Red Dragon is going to survive. What Effect is doing, the entry damage is huge. Alliance need to move in, Hakkis and Yuki to finish this off, but the zone at their back.
02:17:28 ist vielleicht einfach zu denken über Rotate, statt einfach zu prioritisieren Kills hier. Ich habe mich zu fragen, wo Allianz geht von hier, dass sie versuchen, alle anderen Seite zu gehen, aber es ist ein Team in der Trainkart, also es ist nicht gut für sie. Das wäre dann der Hauptsache, ich hätte gedacht, so sie müssen sie durchführen. Ich glaube, dass sie sich mit dem Weg durchführen können, aber sie starten zu kriegen von den Teams, die bereits in der da sind. Und Allianz, selbst wenn sie versuchen, es sieht sehr dismal aus.
02:17:56 Ja, ich denke, die Top 10 in ein guter KP. Sie haben wirklich gut gemacht, von Thermal Station.
02:18:24 Die Wraith und Kostik sind in 2024. 5-Year-Anniversary, Baby!
02:18:51 Es ist Zeit, Slamm in zu tun, was er best macht, und das ist Output Damage in der höchste Weise möglich. Sie werden viel Dammage geben, sie werden eine Sparte geben, aber es gibt noch einen Spieler in und vor allem, sie müssen ihn finden und sie müssen ihn finden, und sie müssen ihn erneut werden. E6s sind so ein Unit, sie spielen so gut zusammen, in Tandem, alle Focusing auf den gleichen Target, und es ist wie, wenn man gegen drei Guns gegen drei Wunsch, wenn man sich gegen sie sich gegen sie befinden. Sie sind immer sicher, dass sie in den richtigen Spots sind.
02:19:17 Und ich denke, die E6s sind in einem guten Platz für dieses Spiel, weil sie können E1s sind, sie sind nur bei, ich denke, Aftermath werden die einzige Team verletzt sie, aber mit dem, wie sie einfach nur durchsuchen sie, ich denke, sie werden nicht zu beantworten. Wenn sie sich in den Top 5 wiederholfen, wiederholfen sie wieder mit Kills, sie werden immer wiederholfen. Der einzige Worte ist infinite, die sie hinter sie sind und stoppen sie von ihnen zu beantworten.
02:19:41 The great thing here for Vamo Carrera as well is I'm pretty sure they're playing Watson in their composition, which means that Bangalore ultimert gets kind of taken out of the equation. Smokes get taken out of the equation a little bit if they're fired in as well. Grenades get taken out of the equation and it becomes a very easy game for them to manage. They don't have to worry about some of the abilities.
02:19:58 Zianya.
02:20:12 Zenaia, sorry, is trying to get those Caustic Barrels down just to provide some cover. Yeah, and the gas was sent out as well just to try and grief those teams who were arriving, but Cybercats are being shot at from Vamo Carrero, holding main position. As you said, they hold a prime spot, but there's still KP being picked up. Three squads now remain. Cybercats will fall, and it is suddenly Aftermath versus VQ, and VQ have held this position for so long, and they are surrounding Aftermath. Yeah, how great.
02:20:37 Willkommen zurück.
Vamo Kreia gewinnt Spiel, Challenger Circuit Ankündigung
02:21:05
02:21:05 Post-Kill, they finally were able to play some Apex Legends, they weren't being contested, they were able to get into a position, and remember, they played for that northern spot, they heard all the fighting that was happening, and they ensured that they joined that fight at the right time, and they get the victory because of it, and you were quite right, they're playing that Watson, they were able to take a lot of space and hold a lot of teams back, and as soon as that circle continued to pull north, all the teams that were on the southern side just had to look up and see, alright, there's already a team there that's doing the damage to us, and it was just a matter of
02:21:34 of picking up KP if you were one of the other teams. There was still a chance for Aftermath at the end, but because you were right, the spread that we saw from Vamokere, it was like a cheese board at Christmas, Mark. It was absolute perfection. Cheese board at Christmas, the new tactical formation, which is actually in the Art of War. But anyway, let's talk about some of the other performers in this game, Dan, because it was obviously a vital performance, right, for Vamokere in that game. It was...
02:22:02 Es war ein win-or-nothing für sie, nach dem ersten drei Games auf Storepoint. Und wie sie wirklich nicht getrennt sind, in der Spiel, auf den Gas. Und ich denke, für sie zu gewinnen, ist nicht nur eine gute Zeit für sie zu gehen, aber ich denke, du hast Teams wie Element 6, und ich fühle mich ein bisschen schlecht für FullEnglish, weil sie das erste Spiel haben, sie haben sie in Konsole, sie haben sie in Konsole, sie haben sie in Konsole gewonnen, sie haben sie in Konsole gewonnen, sie haben sie in Konsole gewonnen, sie haben sie in Konsole gewonnen, sie haben sie in Konsole gewonnen, sie haben sie in Konsole gewonnen, sie haben sie in Konsole gewonnen, sie haben sie in Konsole gewonnen, sie haben sie in Konsole gewonnen, sie haben sie in Konsole gewonnen, sie haben sie in Konsole gewonnen, sie haben sie in Konsole gewonnen, sie haben sie in Konsole gewonnen, aber es war
02:22:28 VQ, who managed to win the game, that they just weren't able to sustain those kills and sustain their life long enough, because we saw how valuable that position was. That was the game-winning position. Yeah, I think they're going to be a little bit disappointed. Mark, we'll let you drop for a little bit, and I'll bring Stellar into chat about that game as well. I mean, Stellar, we saw so much commotion happening on the northern side, but we can see why it happened, because Vamo Correa, they got that position, and they won because of it.
02:22:53 Yeah, absolutely. I mean, Onset brings up a good point about how it really sucked for full English. I mean, they were able to hold off on their own for so long, but it's kind of a waterfall effect that happens, especially on a map like World's Edge, where it's a little bit smaller, and it does end up having this flow to it, where if you don't finish your kills as fast as possible and move to a different spot, or at least bunker down with, say, Exo with Watts in Bangalore and Catalyst, being able to bunker down and defend, you have to either move and reposition or defend properly. And some of these teams...
02:23:23 We're not ready for that flow, especially after Storm Point where things were a lot slower. But listen, everyone knows World's Edge, so it moves a lot faster.
02:23:32 It does, at times, and I think that Vamakurea now are going to be able to leap up the leaderboards. 22 points on the board, 10 kills, after getting 0, three times in a row on Stormpoint. This is the perfect way to bounce back, and I saw Kashira say on social media, you know, it's going to be tough to qualify after our initial performances, but no matter if there is just a small chance, he will give it absolutely everything, and they give themselves at least the opportunity now as they start to put some points on the board. Credit to Aftermath, they get 18.
02:24:01 Cybercats with 13, running a Caustic Wraith composition, which we love to see, especially on the 5th anniversary. And then E6, again, just, you know, they're always there and thereabouts in the top 5, getting kills on the board and just being aggressive as always. It's a little terrifying that you say they're just always there, you know? Always.
02:24:19 Ja, also, so we see in 12th place Ansi outplayed. This is one of the teams that we were speaking about earlier before and 40% worse, who I expected to do a little bit better on World's Edge, especially since this is something that people are very much used to. I was very surprised to see...
02:24:34 Aber wir wissen, dass viele der Norden-Teams ein wenig wenig Glück hat mit der Zone-Pull. Aber das ist auch was passiert. Du musst dich bereit für diese RNG-Pulls. Es ist wirklich schwer. Aber ich meine, das war nur Game 1 auf World's Edge. So vielleicht werden wir sie wieder zurück. Look at diese damage. Das war von der letzten Match.
02:24:56 4.5k in total von Vamo Kreia, almost 2k from Sens. Remember, we were hyping up Effect for a 2k plus game on Sens, showing why and what an important factor he is on this roster. Aftermath putting up 3.5k. CyberCats less so damage, but they were more about hunkering down with the Caustic and just trying to survive, and they did very well to get into the top three.
02:25:18 Yeah, I actually do want to give them kudos for being able to rotate in faster, which they obviously did have more access to ring consoles. But the thing is, you still have to find a good position. Just getting into Circle isn't good enough. But good for them for getting up into the top 10 here, looking at the series results so far. And Element 6 at top with 34 kills! Ugh.
02:25:39 That's absolutely disgusting. Yeah, they're just, they're playing amazing at the moment. I've mentioned it a few times. They're just, the communication's on point, baiting, switching at the right times, and I think that anyone will be terrified if a Bloodhound's coming towards them, because there's a percentage chance it could be E6, and I wouldn't want to fight them, that's for sure. Oh no, me neither, but...
02:25:57 You know what? There are some people that might want to fight them. And yes, that is my lead-in to talking about the Challenger Circuit. Now, registration is closed for the Challenger Circuit Split 1. But guess what? You are going to be able to register for Challenger Circuit 2, which registration opens tomorrow. So that's going to be really exciting. So if you think you have what it takes to get into ALGS, give it a try. I mean, ANC Outplayed is one of the great success stories to come out of the Challenger Circuit this season. So who knows?
02:26:25 Yeah, we've started to see a few teams that, you know, go through Challenger, get into Pro League, and then are really able to compete with the very best. And we love to see that. We love an underdog story. So get signed up, get playing, and maybe we'll see you on the ALGS soon. Yeah, I know. Listen, I would say we should make a team, but I know that we're deep in the PAL world. But we're going to go ahead and take a quick break and come back with your next game.
Team-Kompositionen und frühe Spielzüge auf World's Edge
02:28:40
02:28:40 It reminds me of the Ascend of Ult. That's what Kashira did on World's Edge. They would find a spot to work with.
02:29:02 und sie würden einfach spielen, und ich denke, sie waren auch schon mit Watson und Newcastle in der Zeit zu tun. Es ist Kashera und Postkill zu tun, aber Senzu hat fast 2,000 damage zu können, so das ist das Spiel, aber es ist das Spiel für sie. Aber kann sie das Replicate? Weil sie vielleicht vielleicht finden sich in den Top 10 jetzt in der Top 10, aber kann sie weiterzunehmen? Weil wenn sie sich auf ein paar Zeros auf ein paar Zeros befinden, dann wird sie wieder in den Top 10.
02:29:29 They want to be picking up a few more points here to start competing and start climbing that leaderboard. Let's look at the Legend Select screen and we see what compositions are going to be run. It gives us a little bit of an opportunity maybe to talk through what we've seen, Dan, because Stormpoint pretty much belonged to 07 and E6. E6 had a decent enough performance with placement and kill in that last game.
02:29:50 07, haben sie die Early-Play gemacht. Das ist ein Risky-Player, aber das sie mit einem Long-Term-Potenzial haben, zu versuchen, das Early-Position zu nehmen, von Fullenglish, die es in der ersten Zeit war. Aber natürlich war es das Spiel-Winning-Spot, wie wir schon erwähnt. Und ich finde, manchmal, wenn Teams einen Gelegenheit zu nehmen, um ein Isolated-Fight für was sie glauben, das wäre die Best-Position. Es ist ein Risky-Player, natürlich, aber wenn du sie gewinnen und gewinnen, wirst du sie gewinnen, wirst du sie bekommen.
02:30:19 Well, can they do it again? Or will we see 07 actually take that risk this time and be rewarded for it? It's always disappointing and I completely agree with you that they're gonna be, you know, a little bit annoyed by that factor, but sometimes that is Apex Legends. If you see a game-winning play in the early stages, you take it.
02:30:40 And sometimes it can come down to just, are you going to get third-partied or not going to get third-partied? Right. Do we have the contest happening at Overlook? Potentially. Oh, there's a solo player landing split from the team. And it looks like they're trying to take advantage of that. But it's the horizon at least, which means that Lifeng can go into the sky and break a few ankles if he wants to. And break ankles he has. Not only has he survived against the entire team dropping on him, he's just forced all of Over... Excuse me, Aftermath to drop down.
02:31:09 in die Tunnel below, so Liefen ist einfach, bei ihm selbst. Ich liebe das. Das ist unglaublich. So they saw Liefen drop in on his own, and they all decided to drop in. They were like, drop in this guy, drop in this guy, and he survives. He gets a gun. He got the gun first. He was like, come on then, let's have it. And he just gets up into the air. What was it like? This is my opportunity to get in the fact that Arsenal won against Liverpool today. It was like Declan Rice.
02:31:35 Ich weiß nicht, dass es ein Fußball-Fans war, wenn der ganze Liverpool-Fan war. Oh, ja. Das ist was es wie. Wenn du nicht wissen, was ich sagen, dann starten Sporting Arsenal. Es ist wie Aaron Gordon in Lord of the Rings, auf die gesamte Mordor. Das ist wie es für die Nerds, die nicht aufs Football-Futball ist. Da ist ein mehr Relative-Referenz für alle, die man sich anschaut. Anyway, Zone. Let's talk about that. Thermal Station.
02:31:59 Great for Alliance. Do they have a ring console? I can't actually see. But mine certainly do, and mine are going to be able to either stay at Tree or move over if they would like to. I mean, this could pull to the building that has the Survey Beacon down in the far south. We might see a few teams start to play that. And Cybercats already making their move from Harvester. They had a ring console as well. Passion moving. So all the teams actually in the kind of southwest area did have that knowledge. So they are going to be able to move quickly and take prime position.
02:32:28 Ja, ein bisschen anders. Ich würde sagen, die Zonen haben heute schon sehr gut gespielt. Wir hatten einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen einen
02:32:55 Oh, unfortunately, es ist er dann. 07-Win in der Early Fight, Dan? Every time a shot like that is hit, I always think, what if? Imagine?
02:33:03 But it never really goes anywhere, sadly. But Alliance, they were able to get any stragglers that found themselves over towards Thermal Station. And they say, look, this is our land. You're not going to be able to just walk on in here, waltz on in and take this position off of us. I think it might have been Claire from Passion, potentially, as they were moving their way down southward. But August and Hungry have taken that southern building that I was talking about, as well as Mind, who moved very quickly from Tree. So Alliance are going to be beaten to the punch there.
02:33:30 It was a very clear decision from Alliance. They didn't want to move out of Thermal. They were happy to stay there, and they'll be able to reside in Thermal for quite some time. A little bit of crafting being done over a geyser at the moment by 2Raps1Controller. Aftermath, who of course got forced down into the tunnel, are going to be moving through yet another tunnel. They're doing their best Miner's impression at the moment, and looking for a little bit of loot. I think they want to try and maybe catch a player off guard, or if they're just going to take a little bit of a slower rotate. It doesn't look like they're showing for now, and to be fair to 2Raps1Controller then.
02:33:58 Fast to experience, I think, at this point, to not have someone looking. You can see that Hiyaka and Mizzi are both looking to see if anyone comes through that tunnel and they'll be able to retreat very quickly. I think they'll do their crafting and then they'll say, hey, you can have the crafter afterwards elsewhere. 40% worse. They're having a fight inside a launch site at the moment. Well, certainly after the commotion that we saw happening on the eastern side last time.
02:34:22 Look at the comms. I'm not really surprised that everyone's moving a little bit further south. Mandy, you spoke about... You spoke about comfort picks. Well, it's from one to another as 40%. Let's see what the comms are like. It's John Mittal listening.
Taktiken, Zonen-Rotationen und Team-Kämpfe
02:34:36
02:34:36 Okay, okay good I'm not allowed to give out awards, but that's best lesson of the day
02:35:05 I don't care what anyone says. Best listener of the day. Vibes. That comp just screams vibes. Vibes. They are more than happy to camp those banners because they have been kind of griefed by certain teams on their rotation, so sometimes anger plays a part in the way that you play Apex Legends. 40% worse. Very passionate, it would seem, about holding those banners. And yeah, we see a Pathfinder, and any time Onset sees a Pathfinder, he gets a little bit excited because he knows that Pathfinder brings the pure vibes.
02:35:34 Let's just be real, still to this day Pathfinder is the most fun Legend to play Hey speaking of Season 20, if we see a Pathfinder buff I'm always calling for Pathfinder buff Buff Pathfinder, give it Rocket Launcher Give him everything Give him everything Suddenly Pathfinder has a 100% pick rate in the ALGS With rockets on his back Exactly, got like cannons coming out of his legs
02:35:58 If anyone could do it, it could be Pathfinder, that's for sure. It looks like 40% Wurst have successfully camped those banners, by the way. The last remaining players did try and get it back, but they were forced back and forced away. Shiv's even chasing it at the moment because he really wants to get this kill, desperate for it. But then they're going to have to rotate through. So they do have a southern rotation. They can go down towards Tree. No one's in Tree right now, so they would be safe there. But then you force yourself into the choke point between Tree and Thermal.
02:36:28 So it's not going to be particularly fun, but everyone else is going to have to try and do a similar thing, to be honest. There are several choke points towards this final circle that you're going to have to fight your way through. Red Dragon taking a little bit of damage here. August and Hungry holding down the choke, which is just outside a tree at the moment. You've got a couple of solos knocking about here as well from mine. I think I'm trying to have a little look at this. And mine indeed were having a look, but they have lost a player on their way forward. So it might be just a case of maybe hitting the crafter.
02:36:57 They don't, of course, have the conduit to get the banner back, so it has to...
02:37:01 Es wird ein bisschen mehr manually sein. Sie haben die Krypto, so... Sie haben die Krypto, aber ich stand corrected. Danke schön, Sie sind hier. Es ist noch eine Chance, aber es ist gar nicht so eine Guarantee, wie es mit einer Support Legend-Legend-Lite Conduit wird. Sie werden es versuchen. Ich kann es sehen auf dem Map, die Beacon hat, die Beacon hat. Also, ich werde euch alle update, ob sie das Beacon hat oder nicht. Aber es depends, ob das Beacon wird... Ob das Beacon wird... Ob das Beacon wird... Ob das Beacon wird... Ob das Beacon wird... Ob das Beacon wird... Ob das Beacon wird... Ob das Beacon wird... Ob das Beacon wird... Ob das Beacon wird...
02:37:30 So it's just going to be about a straight fight, potentially with Infinite here, who are very close by in Harvester. I'm trying to lock back into the game now because I really want there to be a hashtag that starts trending that says give Pathfinder leg cannons. But for now, Infinite, they're worrying a little bit more about the game in front of them. Stay healthy eliminated in the meantime as we lose our fourth squad here on World's Edge. And they're in a pretty good position to hold this team out, but...
02:37:57 Little bit of crafting is going to be accepted as the smokes go down, which is going to completely nullify any line of sight for them. But two rats, one controller. Oh, make it, make it. Come on, Missy, run. Grab him. Oh, goodness.
02:38:10 Hashtag Lech. Lech Pathfinder finishes story is what is going to be on social. That's another fanbase who will know what I'm talking about. We don't need to go into that. So all these teams who have been moving from this southeast side, by the way, are all going to start to meet around kind of lava siphon area and over towards tree. 40% worse, 2R1C, Cold and LVH are all going to be in the same area. So there's going to be a lot of fights happening, but it's back to E6. Is it back to more shredding?
02:38:39 Of course it is. If you want to see a fight, you just go to E6 POV. Great shots coming in from K-Sweeney as well. They should be able to clean up this damage. However, there is a little bit of damage being done from the skies. Vaukanet will be eliminated. In the meantime, as we see 07 going down and E6 win the fight against 07, that could have some implications when it comes to our final standards.
02:38:59 Ja, E6 haben sich die Top-Leader-Board gewonnen. Ich meine, die Bonus-Points waren in der Start-Leader-Board gewonnen, wenn man über 50 Punkte gewonnen hat. So, sie sind jetzt auf der Weg mit dem Moment, wie sie spielen. Und wenn sie sich die Top-Leader-Board gewonnen haben, vielleicht ein Bonus-Points könnte sein können. Aber Outplayed ist es einfach nur...
02:39:21 Ja, ich denke E6 ist in eine gute Position für dieses Endgame.
02:39:50 Und dann kann man auf den Weg gehen. 40% wert, aber es ist auch ein guter Team.
02:40:19 Das ist genau das, was es wie beim Matchmaking mit euch. Ihr wisst, dass ihr euch gut verletzt könnt. Ihr werdet ihr in, und werdet ihr in, und werdet ihr in, und werdet ihr in, und werdet ihr in, und werdet ihr in, und werdet ihr in, werdet ihr in, werdet ihr in, werdet ihr in.
02:40:36 Altamatt down to 2. Kuriv trying to pop a medkit so that the zone that's closing behind him isn't too much of a problem. But this is just Carnage at the moment. Look at Alliance there in and around this building as well. Kuriv is going to go down. Excuse me, it's not Alliance. It's going to be LBH inside of that building. Vios' game attack always gets me. However...
02:40:53 2R1C, LVH, Fullenglish close by.
02:41:23 Ich weiß nicht, ob sie wirklich überleben können, denn sie werden von MIND gegründet werden.
02:41:31 I'm calling it right now, by the way, as we see a little bit of a swing coming in behind her. Hyaka with some great shots with that Havoc. He's going to slow that down completely. That Qs go down as well. The piercing spikes will stop any kind of push that does start to come through. But Hyaka, he's hungry for some kills that you can see he's trying to move up. And it's going to be LVH who are now in an absolute shambles. They lose one. Vice has only got a little bit of shield left. Hanzo's got none. He's on health but pops that battery. And it looks like 2R1C will be able to hold off that push.
02:41:57 Aber zurück zu dem Punkt, ich kann dieses Spiel enden mit einem Grapple-Into-The-Sky-No-Scope von Mandi. Wenn das passiert, dann werden wir einen Profit geben. Aber für heute, ich sehe LVH in der...
Evac Tower Einsatz und Team-Eliminierungen
02:42:10
02:42:10 Ich bin hier dran. Ich bin hier dran.
02:42:37 We need to kill these guys on bottom, no? Crack one, crack one. Can we kill? Kill, kill, kill. Lifting maybe, lifting, lifting. Bangor one. Bangor dead. Kill, don't drop, don't drop, don't drop. I need two drops, I need two drops, I'm fucked. Awesome one, dead, last guy. I'm with you. Fighting behind the fence, fighting behind the fence.
02:43:06 Ja, ja, ja!
02:43:31 Ja, ihr braucht eine E-Backtower zu gehen und dann geht es blind. Ja, und genau, es wird nicht mehr machen, ist die Herausforderung hier. So, wenn ihr euch das commit? Wenn ihr euch an E-Backtower versuchen, um die E-Backtower zu gehen? Aber 2R1C halten alle diese Teams, also ihr habt nicht die Entscheidung. Also, ich weiß, was meine Plan ist hier.
02:43:52 Do they have an EVAC Tower? Yes, they have an EVAC Tower. So do 40% worse. So all these teams can try and get over, but as you say, it's going to be a question of is it successful? I think you could back in the day with the Valkyrie, but whether you can do it with the EVAC Tower will have to remain to be seen. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the EVAC doesn't reach quite as high as the Valkyrie ult does, so we'll have to see what's going to...
02:44:12 für diese Teams, wenn es nur ein Schrapp ist, wer kann die Punkte und die Kills bekommen. Allianz Eliminate in der Meantime ist ein bisschen ein bisschen langer Start für sie hier auf World's Edge, nachdem sie auf Stormpoint gewonnen haben. 40% worse, sie werden sie verletzten, um sie zu verletzten, zu verletzten. Mandi mit One-Shot kann verletzten, um diese Fights zu verletzten. Aber sie müssen jetzt auf die Seite der Mountain spielen, aber die Problem ist, dass sie keine Rotationale Charaktere hier haben, außerhalb von Zippen. Und das ist vielleicht ein bisschen riskierter für vier Teams in den Viciniti.
02:44:38 Look, just look at the defensive ability as well with all these Watson fences coming down, but 45% worse are starting to creep up on it. Mandy waiting with the vault, waiting to shred. We'll get a slight lull in action to be able to bat here too. If they can take this position, at least they might be able to find themselves some more extra placement points. One kill does get picked up, but it's damage coming in from distance. No, it's going for the win. Oh, Mandy!
02:45:01 Oh, he gets one. Did he hit the bullets? I'm not sure. Cold eliminated in the meantime. There's two teams left on this side. And it's going to be two rats, one controller who come in to really clean up the damage. They have superior positioning. They don't really have any problems. Mine eliminated. And now two rats, one controller can slowly expect death when the zone starts to close. I'm pretty sure they can't make it around this mountainous range at this point. So they're just going to hope that everyone else kills themselves on the other side of the mountain and they can get a few free placement points.
02:45:28 All the meanwhile Alliance were eliminated earlier. Allgliss and Hungry have been able to make their way into the train station where their circle is ending. Cybercats and Red Dragon also hold the position. E6 getting aggressive and lost one but the damage still coming through from Kay Swinney. He's the last remaining player but that doesn't mean they're down and out just yet. Let's have the Digi. He can play around this knockdown shield and this smoke as a 1v1 I'm pretty sure at this point. Gets the spray, gets the break, gets the flesh damage and he's up in HP.
02:45:53 So 5 squads, ANC, Cybercats, Augleton Hungry, Red Dragon, and 2 R1C, who may just be about to die to the ring, we'll have to see, but like, they're gonna try it, they're gonna try Evac Tower, so I am curious here.
02:46:22 Oh, das ist schnell genug zu... Oh, das geht all den Weg um! 2R1C geht all den Weg um, um, um, um!
02:46:30 Ja, start to creep in.
Finale Kreis-Strategien und ANC Outplayed Sieg
02:46:58
02:46:58 Ich hoffe, dass die Teams bereits in Train Station sind schon in den Städten, aber sie haben den Wallen zu spielen. Und sie finden sich in ein guter Platz zu finden. Sie würden einfach das extra K.P. Und... Oh, no! Es gibt noch extra K.P. und... Oh, no! Es gibt noch extra K.P. von den Städten, und sie waren nicht mehr in den Städten. Und 2R1C hat sich nur überholtet. Und sie haben sich in den Top 5 gewonnen. Aber kann die Arche nicht weitergehen? Ich dachte, 2R1C war für eine slow und glückliches Death. Aber instead haben sie gesagt, dass sie ein Teil von diesem Spiel wollen.
02:47:26 Man sieht jetzt auf der Map, dass jeder auf den Moment ist, Cybercats in eine sehr gute Position ist, ANC-R-Plates zu suchen für das Solo. Ich denke, sie wollen das zu versuchen, das zu versuchen, das Moment zu versuchen. Aber steppig durch dieses Wall ist immer ein bisschen riskierend, wenn man nicht ein Catalyst-Player ist. Aber hey, wo ist er? Er ist weg. Er ist weg. Er ist weg. Er ist weg. Er ist weg. Er ist weg. Er ist weg. Er ist weg.
02:47:45 Ich habe mich gerade gefühlt, als alle zu finden, einen extra Kp ist möglich. Ich habe mich gerade in der Momentan gehalten. Der Circle wird in und auf die Station enden.
02:48:00 Finally, 2R1C get eliminated. Das ist ein Apex Legends Rattrap, wenn ich einen gesehen habe. Es ist ein Poetrie, dass es auf 2R1C ist. So, 4 Scords remain. Der Circle wird auf der Station enden, also Auge und Hungry sind in einem wirklich guten Platz.
02:48:18 Cybercats can play the Underneath, and they are playing this composition that we spoke about a little bit earlier. They've got the Caustic, which is going to be very influential in the final circle. And again, the portal could be big for them here. It could give them that extra ability to escape. It could be used as a distraction as well. Two shots with the Kraber. Also something that they've got to work with. One bullet from that can really do damage to create an opening for you. Also, they're going to be safe for quite some time here. What about holding their back for now?
02:48:46 Sie sehen, wie sie auf der Seite spielen? Sie spielen auf der Seite von der Wallen. Das ist eine Spiel-Winne-Winne-Position, jetzt dass sie sich jetzt auf diese Solon gewinnen haben, weil alle anderen werden müssen, und es wird vielleicht eine Chance für sie, um sie zu spielen, um die KP zu ziehen, und dann warten für die Circle, um die Arbeit zu machen. Augusson Hungry, um zu retreiten, Kinders, und Unlucky, jetzt auf die Zone, auf die Zone. Auf die Zone, aber sie können aber auch in diese Final-Circle spielen, besonders auf die Horizon. Cyberkats jetzt machen ihre Weg aus. Und wieder, natürlich, es könnte alles sein, wenn...
02:49:15 They still have the Ultimate available. The Nox Grenade and the Nox Gas can be used for them. Can really change all this final circle of girls. Now Outplayed, they're gonna be holding everyone outside and again Outplayed probably the most likely to win this as Red Dragon get eliminated. Yeah, Nox Gas is great. Watts and Jen completely nullifies it though. It will be eaten up like a very beautifully presented dessert at the end of a meal for them. ANC Outplayed in a great position here with head glitches to play with as well. They've only got the solo.
02:49:43 Oh, they're taking a little bit of a chunk here.
02:50:05 Ja, wirklich, wirklich gut da von Outpladen in den Finals.
02:50:34 Most importantly, they cleaned up that rat as well, just to make sure that they flushed him out with the Q to make sure that their side was completely owned by themselves. And then it's just a case of waiting, right? I mentioned, let the zone do the work. Let the zone force the teams to have to leave together. They're all going to damage each other. I had some great head glitches to play. It's almost a position where you've got to win from that position. And that's exactly what they did.
02:50:55 Yeah, and potentially frustration on the other side. As soon as you see that black hole come down on the door there and you're just like, goddammit. I mean, the one solo player decides to ruin any chances of us even trying to take this 3v3, but that is what can happen in a final circle sometimes. And you were completely right that Watson probably wins it for them anyway, even if they were able to escape. But again, we are seeing the advantage of Caustic. They were able to hunker down in that building and train station for quite some time and they secure a top three because of it.
02:51:22 Well, they do, of course, win the game ANC outplayed. And I'm going to send you a little break, Dan. Just catch your breath for a few seconds and get ready for our final game of the day. Bringing Stella back in now to talk about what we did see. And yeah, ANC outplayed, presenting their case to be one of the best performing teams so far today. Yeah, they did a great job of showing what it is that they do so well playing together.
Spielanalyse und Challenger Circuit
02:51:43
02:51:43 I'm really sad that they weren't able to get first place, but they did a great job of securing second. And honestly, I also have to shout out Cybercats for actually utilizing their characters really well this time around. They were able to bunker down. You know, at the end, their attention was a little bit scattered. And at the top three squads with the circle that close, you can't be scattering your attention. You need to be focus firing. So they are getting better, but I do hope that their comms are able to focus fire certain teams. Yeah, I think...
02:52:11 You see the benefits and the downsides of Caustic, right? And I gotta say, I don't think Caustic is the best Legend to be picking at the moment. It allows you to sit in a building, but when you've got a lot of visual clutter, when you've got Watson Inception pylons in the lobby, the bigger character model, very easy to take down. The Noxgas becomes completely null and void because the gen's just gonna eat that thing up. And I think it's certainly, you could play a Catalyst and do the same things, but...
02:52:39 put yourself in a position with her dark fail to cut zones in half and give you a little bit more option towards the endgame. So I think that there's, I think maybe people are trying stuff and overthinking things a little bit sometimes when they're looking at those kind of legends. I just don't think that Caustic at the moment where he is and his abilities really assist you in those endgame situations.
02:52:57 Yeah, I think that's what I love about Apex the most is that the meta is always changing, right? But you can make certain characters work for a playstyle, but you still have to be aware of your opponents and how exactly that's going to feel. So really good call on that. And I definitely would have gone with Catalyst, but I really wanted to see some cool caustic plays. But let's go ahead and take a look at the match results and see how this played out for all of them. Cybercats at three, zero kills. Again, they were more focused on survival than anything else, but they did end up getting seven points.
02:53:25 Yeah, they did indeed, and they hunkered down in that building, and they weren't really able to output damage too much. Like you say, 0 kills with 7 points, but ANC outplayed. They are the story. 20 points overall for them. Hey, surprise, surprise, you got second most kills in the lobby. Actually, it wasn't Element 6. It was Superhouse 1 Controller, so I stand corrected. They get 13 points overall. But surprise, surprise, Element 6 still get a huge amount of KP. 7 for them alongside a few placement points. They've been really consistent today, and even though some of the zones haven't favored them, the ones that haven't, they've still got good points on.
02:53:54 Ja, es ist wirklich gut zu sehen, Kast, denn ich habe dann auch die Bewegung, und es ist wirklich interessant zu sehen, E6 zu sehen, sehr schnell zu sehen. Jetzt, Allianz war in die Circle sehr early auf, nur aufgetrennt 4 Kills, und wurde dann auch getrennt aus ziemlich early. Sie sind mit Fullenglish und die anderen, die tatsächlich waren, die in die southern part der Map, die ist interessant, aber das ist halt so, was passiert, wenn ihr zwei landet in die Zone early ist, so es ist unfortunate, aber ich meine...
02:54:22 Maybe we'll get a middle of the map drop? I don't know.
02:54:25 Ich habe zu sehen. Ich meine, ein Team wird sehr glücklich sein mit dem zweiten Platz und nur in der Solo ist Auglust und Hungry. Auf der richtigen Seite der Schrein kann sie sehen, dass sie ein paar mehr Placement-Points haben, um 9% aufgerufen. So eine sehr gute Leistung von ihnen zu bekommen. Aber die Geschichte der Nummer 5 ist, dass sie 3.775k geschehen sind. Und ich denke, dass sie die Kontrolle, die Rage, die in der Zone, die in der Zone, das ist die perfekte Weise, die in der Zone, die in der Zone zu spielen, ist die perfekte Weise.
02:54:53 Yeah, I agree. I think ANSI Outplay did actually live up to their name, and Outplay E6 was also playing around the same zone, but E6 just wasn't able to recover fast enough, and ANSI Outplay just swept in. We do see Element 6 leading today, though, with 41 kills, which is 21 points above 07 in second place, though.
02:55:12 Yeah, I mean, it kind of leads into what I was saying, right? Even though the zones might have been a few that E6 thought weren't winnable zones, they still kill a lot of people on their way towards those. And 41 kills overall, more than double the next in the lobby, kind of sums up Element 6 today. I think they've been superb. Yeah, I do. Listen, I don't know what they're drinking, whatever kind of coffee they're having, but I need to have some of that. I also do kind of want to talk about the...
02:55:36 God, that split circle where we saw 40% worse and cold and mind all kind of screwed on the other side. So I did want to get your take about this because I personally would do placement over getting KP. But in that scenario, what would you choose? Would you optimize KP over placement or I don't know what your pick would be? I think if you're on the eastern side of that mountain range, you're not going to win the game because you've just got to look for KP because...
02:56:00 Even if you survive long enough, then you have to try and somehow get around that mountain range with the zone cutting most of your health down before you even get there. We saw that from 2R1C, right? They won the fight, but then even though they had to make a desperate play to try and get around that mountain, they land in a position where there's a team there and they still are down health meds, so they're not going to be able to fight.
02:56:21 They're weighing a fair fight there. So it's about, sometimes it's about where the traffic is and I'm at, right? If you are trying to rotate and there's a lot of teams there who aren't rotating or are deciding to try and hold this side out, it kind of forces your hand for you. So the safer thing to do is play for the points, play for the kills and guarantee yourself something instead of kind of hoping.
02:56:37 Yeah, I think what a lot of smart teams do is they know when to pull out of a fight. But I mean, we did see two R1C want to be aggressive and they had the comp for it. So they took their chance and did it. But we're going to take a quick break. When we come back, we'll have game number six for you.
02:58:48 Ja, es ist ein bisschen...
Zwischenstand und kommende Spiele
02:59:12
02:59:12 Actually, I was going to say a little bit of wiggle room, but I think you're right, there is a lot of wiggle room, because we, I think the biggest change was Vamokred getting that victory in Match 4, taking those points away from some of the leaders, but also propelling themselves into the mid-table, and it means that there are a lot of teams competing for some of the mid-table points here, but you can very easily drop off, so Vamokred need to be careful as well. Another zero-pointer here, and it just opens up the door for some of these teams that are in the bottom ten to jump up and take it right.
02:59:40 Wir haben 07-Win 2-Games gewonnen. Kann sie erreichen? Kann sie überhaupt nichts machen? Es hat nicht gut funktioniert für sie so far. Also, wenn sie das gewonnen haben, dann gibt es eine Chance für sie eine Bonus-Position, die erste in EMEA in EMEA. Wir haben Fnatic einen in Apec-North. Shout-out, die erste-ever Bonus-Position in der Apex Legends-Global-Serie. Ich persönlich denke, dass sie eine Trophäe für das.

03:00:34 Ich weiß nicht, dass ich mich nicht so gut bin. Ich weiß nicht, dass ich mich nicht so gut bin. Aber ich weiß nicht, dass ich mich nicht so gut bin. Und es sieht aus, dass die Vult-Tunnel ist. So sie hatten ein bisschen look, sie hatten ein bisschen Posture-Up, aber niemand war wirklich Willing-To-Throw-The-First-Punch-Danke, wie wir alle wissen. Ich bin sicher, dass du schon in das Situation bist.
03:01:03 Ich bin froh, dass die Aftermath nicht weit weggegangen sind. Sie haben nicht weit weggegangen. Es sieht aus, dass sie es zu Ende sind. Der Re-Wrap ist. Aber die Armour-Difference sind. Ich meine, die Purple und die Blue gegen drei Greys sind... Es ist nicht advisable für Aftermath. Aber bei der gleichen Zeit, was können sie machen? Sie versuchen, sie versuchen, zu rotatieren und dann können sie weggehen.
03:01:32 Für mich, ich würde versuchen, zu evitieren. Ich würde, das ist alles. Das ist alles, wirklich. Der Problem ist, wo du viel Loot auf dem Weg hast? Ich denke, wenn sie in die Vault-Tunnel gegangen sind, vielleicht haben sie ein bisschen mehr Geyser gehabt. Ich würde sagen, dass sie vielleicht nicht mehr Geyser haben. Aber vielleicht ist es nicht mehr Geyser.
03:01:52 Das ist ein bisschen frustrierend für LVH. Natürlich ist es einfach so, dass wir die LVH durchgehen können. Sie haben eine Ring-Console, das ist gut für sie, um zu finden, wo wir gehen. Und wo wir gehen ist, um die Northwest, Dan. Wir haben wirklich ein variety von Zonen. Ich liebe es.
03:02:09 Es ist ziemlich fair für alle, wirklich. Und ja, E6 ist sehr glücklich. Die Trials hat die Abilität zu bekommen, also hat die Abilität zu bekommen, so sie sind auch über Skyhook schnell. Exoclan wird nicht zu weit entfernt. Als für alle Souten Teams, ich glaube, wir hatten eine ganze Reihe von Circles, aber in der gleichen Zeit, einige Sout-East Teams vielleicht fühlen, dass sie ein bisschen screwed over sind.
03:02:32 You know, you can only work with what's presented in front of you. Cold, Red Dragon. They're going to have to move all the way across from South East to North West. For Alliance, I don't think they had a ring console down at Thermal, but mind, both of them do have Survey Beacons if they had any Legends to use them. So it might just have to be move and listen and look to the skies and hope to maybe shadow some other teams.
03:02:54 Yeah, Alliance have the opportunity to... Oh, we might see an opportunity for a kill here. However, flash damage, flash damage, flash damage, flash damage. Oh, we got the kill. Fair play, fair play noises. Full English do get their first kill in this game, taking down a Thon there. But they might be able to move up and finish these kills off, or it might just be a case of chasing this player down, securing that kill, and just giving yourself that extra point. But just going back to Alliance very, very quickly there, they do have the opportunity to go to staging and hit the ring console. And I think third beacon information is going to be really important for teams here because...
03:03:23 Ja, es sieht aus wie ein Skyhook-Zone, aber Countdown, die gesamte POI ist hier auch. Und es könnte ein bisschen weg sein. Ich denke, die Teams vielleicht denken, um zu spielen für die 3rd Beacon. Aber FullEnglish, sie sind auf der Rotate. Mal schauen, was die Englisch-Boys haben gesagt.
03:03:54 I'm with Brynn. Shoot the blood out of me, please. I'll land it in the heads, I'll land it in the heads. Flesh, flesh, flesh. I'm sliding in. I need two. Blood down's one. Can I get the knock? Just come back then. I'm still running. Okay, okay, coming. I'm with you, with you. I'm coming, I'm coming. Crack, crack, bang. Who's in behind us? I'm gonna swing. Blood down, blood down. Swing, swing, blood.
03:04:20 Okay, ich habe zwei Oxtiles hier, wenn du sie brauchst. Da ist ein Oxtiles auf dem Weg.
03:04:40 Ja, so much action happening in various different areas. Fragment is gonna be where Aftermath, LVH, and 2R1C all are trying to do something.
03:05:06 Ich fühle mich, die Aftermaths haben sich jetzt einfach nur ausgedrückt. Sie sind einfach nur ausgedrückt. Sie sind einfach nur ausgedrückt. Sie sind einfach nur ausgedrückt. Und dann eine andere Team kommt, und dann wird sie ein bisschen frustriert mit dem Team kommen. Das sind LBH und 2RATs, die Kontrollen sind, die sich gegen die Ereignisse ausgedrückt. Sie sind einfach ausgedrückt. Sie sind einfach ausgedrückt.
03:05:27 Die Sandwich haben aber gesagt, dass sie das nicht wollen, dass sie ein Teil des Spiel für ein bisschen länger waren. Und es scheint, dass du manchmal diese Games hast, wo du für lange genug bist, und dann kannst du ein paar Lootboxen gehen, ein bisschen später gehen, ein bisschen mehr Third-Party oder so, und dann findest du gut Loot und...
03:05:43 Ja, no-one da, denn jeder hat sich geholfen.
03:06:04 In and around kind of the south side of Skyhook and the northern side of Countdown and of course trials where E6 currently reside. But this is where the most actions happening at the moment is still outside No Name and up towards Fragment 2R1C against the odds a little bit here. I don't really like having to retreat through the tunnel, but sometimes you can only do what you're presented with a little bit. I mean, this fire is so far out, it's even off of my map screen.
03:06:35 I mean, the good news for them is it's only Zone 1 at the moment, so they should be pretty comfortable to get back into Zone at some point. Cold are the only team who are kind of close-ish, I would say. There's a north of Lava Siphon at the moment in the bar building, but it's not really a position that's going to be even close to looking at something. Look at Aftermath go, by the way. Still alive, and I told you, sometimes you should find a few things on your route, right? A little DG threat being picked up. Tell you what, by the time we get to the endgame, I bet they're all running in with reds and cravers.
03:07:03 This is a scary situation for Passion. They have to drop off the high ground here. They're being pressured a little bit.
03:07:13 Ich denke, es ist Mine, die sie empfehlen sie. Paschinau ist 5th im Moment, und sie wollen einfach nur eine gewisse Werteilung, bleiben sie in die Top 5, und wirklich geben sie eine gewisse Werteilung für die Werteilung. However, es gibt viele Teams, die sich in die gleiche Werteilung zu nehmen, die sich in die gleiche Werteilung zu nehmen. Die Werteilung der Werteilung, die Paschinau putt, sind wirklich in die Werteilung zu nehmen.
03:07:35 Und das wird es zu machen, für diejenigen, die zu versuchen, die zu versuchen, das Raum zu nehmen, zu nehmen. Allianz wird einfach ein bisschen nach links von wo wir Passion geschehen. Und das wird okay für jetzt. Aber wenn die nächste Circle kommt, Allianz werden müssen. Aber du sprichst über Krabbers. Also, Yuki, der Last Dance, hat einen Krabber zu arbeiten. Allianz also hat ein Survey Beacon, das auch, in der Thermal. Die Zone-Close wird sehr, sehr interessant für sie sehen.
03:08:03 Ich denke, das ist der Plan. Sie sehen, die Effekte standen auf dem Moment. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob sie haben, dass sie jemanden kann, dass sie das Ding haben. So, im Stead ist es, um Yuki zu bekommen.
03:08:17 Ich denke, ich denke, wenn du in den letzten Spielstern bist, wenn du in den letzten Spielstern bist, wenn du in den letzten Spielstern bist, wenn du in den Krabber bist. Es ist lustig, wie diese Dinge funktionieren, richtig? Ich bin jetzt bereit für die Montage, bereit für die Farewell-Videos, die auf YouTube werden. Now, Kolde ist jetzt auf den Eer-Side. Es ist eine gute Chance, Sie sehen, wie die Komms sind, als sie sich gegen Aftermath auszunehmen.
03:08:46 I need to come loot the box on this one. Yes, get the fucking loot boys, good job. Nice skills boys, are you M&K? Let's go. Nah, he's fucking Nemesis bro. You guys just shit on him. Here's a Moby, take that AJ. Yeah, we'll do. Alright, now we just go to the house. The duo is here somewhere, we just go to the house. There could be another team here. Jake, do you want to scan this? Wait, I think I just saw someone at the top, just be careful. Okay, care, care, care.
03:09:11 We said you were hearing comms in Graceful's voice. We got to hear comms in Graceful's voice, and it's exactly as I remember it, Dan. Very positive, I will say. The communication, they get that kill, they're feeling good, and now they are moving up to try and hit some Beacon, because they've got Bloodhound, so JMW can do this work. Yeah, they do have the ability to do so. Yeah, I thought maybe there could have been a ring console for Alliance to work with, with the cat. Alas, that was not. And what's happening here? It's Pathfinder. Dipping, dancing, dodging, dying. Not dying. Yet. Dying. Dying.
03:09:39 But 40% worse are still just about alive. It's not been the best of days for 40% worse. The zones haven't really been particularly friendly to them and they've also been griefed a little bit on their rotations. They just haven't been able to find their footing. Still alive for now though, so I won't put them completely out of competition. It's 2R1C trying to get ahead of the zone, but it is going to be Alliance who are going to be waiting to gatekeep them ever so slightly.
03:10:02 We see so many teams that have made their way into that next zone. But this next pool is what's going to be the big one and make the big difference. Is it going towards Skyhook or is it going to stay down towards Countdown and Trials area?
Spannungsgeladene Kämpfe und strategische Zonenpositionierung
03:10:14
03:10:14 I think everyone's waiting with bated breath to see exactly where it is going to be going. LVH versus Cold is something to keep your eyes on, though, as most of those teams are posturing up. He's going to pull right to the northern side, into the open. And if you're E6 right now, all smiles. You can stay up in trials. You can play the inside if you wanted to. You're almost guaranteeing yourself a top five finish from this position. And when you're right at the top of the leaderboards, feeling great, loads of kills and loads of points, you just start celebrating, I think, at this point.
03:10:44 The downside is you could be targeted. Full English are still looking to try and press their advantage here. They have the GG threats and it should be a simple cleanup as well. Great damage coming out from the R99. Noises doing what Noises does best. Aftermaths finally go down. I thought this was their game, Dan. I thought this was their game. You thought they would find Reds, you thought they'd find Krabers, but they'd already been picked up. The Kraber had already been picked up and it's going to be Alliance who hold it instead. LVH also taking a fight.
03:11:13 Oh, that spray is beautiful, but it's not going to be good enough. LVH eliminated at the hands of Auglas and Hungry. This is all happening on the eastern side of Skyhook at the moment. This team is trying to force their way in. It looks like Auglas and Hungry would have won that fight for the eastern side, but they're going to have to work from building to building. And look at the traffic inside of Skyhook at the moment. There's about seven or eight, nine, ten teams even still there. Mind, they're going to be playing outside of Countdown for now. They're trying to portal out, trying to follow the path.
03:11:41 Oh, oh boy.
03:12:10 But there's just so much open space. So we're going to see a lot of fights as kind of round four closes, if not just round three, when teams start to force their way in here. But everyone finding a building at the moment in Skyhook, but they know that this is not going to be a permanent space. They're just renting at the moment. There is no mortgage on this building. Instead, they need to start thinking about the next bigger and better purchase. Forgust and Hungry, they're going to have to work their way in still through all of the traffic I mentioned. 4% worth still alive, by the way. Mandy, sadly.
03:12:39 Without leg cannons on the Pathfinder, he's going to be taken down. I tell you what, he survives if he does have a leg cannon, I'm just saying. Idea is still there. Cybercat's above them for now, as a full three, so there's an opportunity if they sniff out that this is a duo to maybe look to drop and clean up the kills as quickly as possible. The only problem is, there's still a couple of teams like Two Rats, One Controller, who are looking at this. So Cybercat's probably why they're deciding not to play this, not to try and push these two kills, because one knock that doesn't go your way, a little bit extra damage done, your game's over.
03:13:13 Still a lot of teams that are just at the moment scared to make their move. As I say that, Augustin Hungry gets sent on or sent. I can't really tell who attacked who here, but Cold eliminated and Augustin Hungry will survive. Is there anyone else who can maybe jump on this? No, that was an isolated fight. But now everyone will have this information on set. Everyone will know that the circle is going to be heading northwest, so it's about go time for everyone. 2R1C are going to have to move on the far south, but they'll be moving right into alliance here as Yuki hits the headshot. Let's jump into a list of it.
03:13:42 Ich bin, ich bin, ich bin, ich bin. Ich bin, ich bin.
03:14:07 Unfortunately for Alliance, Hackers can't make it through the fire and the flames, but I will say, he's still alive, he's got a Kraber, can't quite connect, trying to play in and around this cat war, the no scope's not quite connected, maybe third time lucky, but doesn't get time to reload, and unfortunately for Alliance, and of course everybody who's been supporting Yuki on his journey, that will be the end of the road for them and Yuki on this lineup. Alliance will fall as we move into our top 12.
03:14:33 They might be the final bullets that we see Yuki fire in Pro League, which is a sad sentence to say, but at least he hit a headshot with the Kramer before he went out. As now we look over towards Vamokure. Two players left, but they are being potentially pushed. They can hear the commotion outside, but they are hunkered down a little bit. They have Watson fences to work with as well as all these teams now starting to...
03:14:55 Progresse in den gleichen Bereichen auf den Süd-South-Easternen. Es geht weiter nach Trials. Viele Teams versuchen diese Raum zu holen. Denn, wie gesagt, es gibt noch viel Spielraum. Du musst versuchen, den Cover zu holen.
03:15:06 I will say Full English is a really good spot here because this is one of the spots in this zone that you're not going to be able to be looked down on by the team that's up on height. So Passion eliminated in the meantime. Full English, again, just being able to retreat to this little ridge to give themselves this cover. They also have the Watson Gen as well, which is going to give them a little bit more survivability. But E6 now moving out.
03:15:26 von Insider Trials. Sie wollen noch mehr KP. Und warum würden Sie? Sie bekommen das erste Knoll auf 2R1C. Jako geht und Slapp, der hat sich fantastisch auf den Bloodhound gemacht. Er ist die Player zu tun. Ja, E6 mit den Kills, die sie hier bekommen haben. Sie werden die Winters von diesem Woche wieder in A versus B gewinnen. Aber können sie gehen auf eine Victory? A and B provee zu sein, das letzte Mal wir gesehen haben. Und es ist nicht so spannend hier wieder hier.
03:15:54 Aber es ist E6, die noch halten. Das ist Vamuklear, zurück zu einem 3-3-3 und zurück zu vollkommen, und bereit zu versuchen, in Spiel Nummer 6 zu spielen.
Endspielstrategien und überraschende Wendungen
03:16:17
03:16:17 Andy Jax is flying in here and doing a huge amount of damage. 07 eliminated in the meantime. That'll be the end of their game day. We're into the top eight here and you can see in the kill feed as well a couple more knocks going in elsewhere. ANC outplayed the winners of our previous game though with two alive up on the hike.
03:16:32 Up on the high and still doing work, still doing damage, still being a real nuisance here at the moment. And they take down one and they actually can try and send this fight if they would like to, but they know full well there is another team below them and that is Vamakure, who they may end up walking right in front of if they're not careful. All listen, Hungry eliminated top seven for them.
03:16:53 Schiff hat sich auch für 40% gewonnen. Die Cybercats versuchen ein bisschen besser Endgame als sie in den vorherigen. Aber wir wollen es nicht. Managet ein paar Knochen. Managet ein paar Knochen. Managet ein paar Knochen. Managet ein paar Knochen. Managet ein paar Knochen. Managet ein paar Knochen. Managet ein paar Knochen. Managet ein paar Knochen. Managet ein paar Knochen. Managet ein paar Knochen. Managet ein paar Knochen.
03:17:14 Das ist großartig für Vamokrede. 6 Teams in der Leaderboarden sind alle dead. Sie haben eine Chance, die sich jetzt auf 9. Sie sind nur 4 Punkte aus der 5. Sie sind nur 8 Punkte aus der 4. Sie können sich wirklich in die Top 5 in den Top 5 nehmen.
03:17:40 Four squads remain. Full English is one of them. They also are looking to try and send their way up the leaderboard. They're at 12th at the moment. And again, they can find themselves in the top, what, seven with a good victory here. So there's plenty of points to play with. But the one team that could ruin everything, it's E6. They are first. They will be winning match here of A and B because they are so far ahead of everyone else. But they would love to put even more points on the board.
03:18:06 Sie sehen, sie haben sie zu escape. Sie hoffen, dass sie vielleicht ein wenig zu tun haben, aber es wird eigentlich K.Swinny als Solo sein. Und er wird gut mit dem, was er so gut gemacht hat. Aber ich denke, die größte Sache hier ist, dass Vamokarer, haben wir 0.0 gewonnen, als wir E6 gesehen haben.
03:18:26 Cybercats in 5th right now, Bamukre in 8th and...
03:18:55 Und vollen Englisch sind 11. So diese sind alle Teams die wirklich brauchen diese Punkte. Und look at das Watsons. Look at das ganze Fences da sind.
03:19:04 I mean, Vammel kann it have zone. And I think the Fuling just want to try and take it off them. They get damage in. Ser Dell flies in with the vault. Another 100 spray, but it's a 2v2. And surely this just means Cybercats can move in and finish off this damage. It's a little bit messy in the endgame here. Cybercats do move in. Two squads still remain. But it looks like this will be Cybercats, who after the last game put themselves in a position to win. This time they do win. They call themselves champions. And at the end of the day, we have yet another winner here in EMEA.
03:19:33 Und Cybercats senden sich in joint 2nd place, von 9th place, in nur ein paar 3 Fights. Incredible points total, das sie haben. Und auch mit Caustic und Wraith. Love to see a Wraith in der Composition, das ist gewinnen, besonders auf der 5th Anniversary hier, von Apex Legends.
03:19:53 Even though they found the victory, it's still E6 who are going to be at the top of the leaderboards overall after their incredible performance throughout the entirety of this matchday. But I tell you what, CyberCats are going to be delighted with that. The amount of extra points that they just picked up, being able to jump from ninth to second is unreal. Yeah, that's how close it is, right? And that's why it's so important to just play every single game to its max. It might seem like a very simple thing to do and a simple thing to say and an obvious thing to say, but it's so easy to get down on yourselves. Look at Vamo Querer, right?
03:20:22 Three games in, some teams would have completely crumbled after putting zero points on the board, losing contests, and then all of a sudden, one win, they're back into things. And then in that last game, they're into the top three, having res. It's so close in Amir at the moment. It's important to keep your momentum going through all of the games and not let one bad game affect you. But, I mean, what was the final jump you said from Cybercats there in that final game? Ninth to second. Well, I mean...
03:20:48 Crazy, right? It could have been even more from the start of the game, but that was just from when they took out the remainder of E6. They jumped from 9th to 5th, and then winning the game, they jumped from 5th to joint 2nd. So that's a crazy jump. I mean, Vamo could also jump up to top 6 from 10th position as well. So you can see the importance of just sticking through it and believing in yourself that you can get back into things, as you just mentioned, because you've got to keep that mental strong, because otherwise you're going to crumble and allow other teams to take advantage of that.
E6 dominiert, Cybercats überraschen und Alliance verabschiedet Yuki
03:21:17
03:21:17 Very impressive performance in those final games. And I've got to say, a little bit of mental fortitude being shown by a number of teams in EMEA here. But I think it's only right. We have to kind of give E6 their flowers down because it has been their day. The zone probably put a big smile on their faces in that final game, having done so much hard work to get into that position. But from there, they picked up good KP, made good placement as well. And I think E6 are probably the team who are standing out the most at the moment in EMEA as not just like a dangerous fighting team, but a team who can get points.
03:21:47 Even when the zone isn't something that is going to give them priority position, right? They can always fight their way through a lot of traffic. Yeah, they just managed to bully other teams off of spots. And I think that a lot of teams could learn with the way that E6 are fighting, the way they're playing. And it shows that you don't have to...
03:22:06 We know that edge teams are successful. We know that the meta can kind of lead towards edge teams, really. But some teams don't have the confidence to play in that manner. They still are stuck in the mindset of we have to hunker down. We have to play zone. We have to get central. We have to play defensive legends. Well, E6 is saying, well, in this region, we feel like we can play aggressive. Remember what August and Hungry did last time we saw ALGS happen the year prior. They were playing in a very similar manner. And E6 are doing that here. They get 11 points.
03:22:35 Ja, Alliance ist ein bisschen diszipliniert.
03:22:57 disappointing finish. 13 points, excuse me, for them. But I think the biggest story is here. I just want to take the second to say, Yuki, we've loved having you. We hope to see you back in the future. But changes for Alliance in their lineup, I'm sure they're hoping for changes in their fortune as well, Stella. Yeah, best of luck to them. I am so glad that we got to witness their plays today because they were playing...
03:23:19 really well. And I was so happy to see their performance. And the last match was really interesting. It's always so funny to see how teams slow way down at the last match. And I really want to give kudos to CyberCats. If we had a category in Most Improved from the last few weeks, I would definitely give it to CyberCats. They were really good at rotating early. They ended up getting quite a few kills on the board and they were able to make a pretty good comeback.
03:23:44 Ich denke, Cybercats, für mich, hat es in den Endgame gewonnen. Es war ein bisschen einfacher für sie. Ich denke, Fullenglish hat es auf Vammelkader. Sie hat vielleicht den Play für sie, um die KP, als die extra Placement Point gewonnen hat. Sie hat das die High-er-Percentage-Play für sie zu machen, um mehr Points aus der Situation zu machen. Es war ein bisschen einfacher für sie, aber ihr seid. Sie haben gute Position gezeigt, das in den letzten drei Games gezeigt. Und sie haben auch von Countdown ein bisschen late.
03:24:09 A lot of teams are up in Skyhook. So that rotate that they actually made from Countdown into Skyhook was probably the moment that gave them an opportunity to win that game. So props to them on that rotate. Yeah, I know. And Gaskin, I mean, the last fight, like we saw VQ just absolutely rush in and try to take down the other team. And Cybercats just came into third party. I mean, do you think that Cybercats might be able to take some of that confidence and move it into their next few games?
03:24:36 Yeah, of course. Momentum, confidence, everything in Apex. Especially playing a slightly different composition as well. There was always going to be a risk. It was something we spoke about at the top of the show. Now is the time to maybe change things up if you feel like it hasn't really been working out for you.
03:24:54 Take my hat off to them. They've gone for something a little bit different. It's worked out for them on World's Edge as well. The only call stick that we saw in the lobby being a factor. And it's very impressive to see teams just trying something a little bit different and making sure that they make a name for themselves in what was a very important match day for them.
03:25:12 Yeah, I'm actually a little bit worried, but a little bit curious about how Element 6 is going to perform for their next game. Because A and C, we did see Element 6 kind of draw back and they were placed a little bit lower. But I'm wondering if this energy can also kind of be pushed forward to the next match that they're going to have. But I don't know if it's Group C that gave them a harder run for their money or if it was just the day. I don't know. It could be a couple of different reasons.
03:25:38 Ja, es kann ein million different reasons sein. Es kann sie sich in einem besseren Team auf der Rotate zu haben, und sie werden nicht so gut runnen können. Sie vielleicht haben einen solchen Tag heute, wo sie einfach gewinnen und das ist, was wir sehen. Ich denke, das ist eine Sache, die mich heute immer noch interessiert hat, ist, ich fühle mich E6 rosters aus der Vergangenheit haben immer sehr gut an being aggressiv, wenn sie ein Damage bekommen haben. Sie waren sehr gut an deathballing, aber ich fühle mich da ein bisschen mehr measureder play von ihnen heute in bestimmten Situationen, das ist wie...
03:26:02 Hey, we can get damage here, but we don't have to send. We don't have to commit to this immediately. We can let other teams influence the game a little bit more before we make our plays. And I think one of the good examples of that was the game that we saw at the end of Stormpoint, where they took that height and then they weren't desperate to kind of force things that were playing the long game a little bit more. And I think there's definitely some improvements in the play calls coming through from them. But as a fighting team, we know that they're dangerous.
03:26:25 Yeah, it's especially dangerous when you know that they are on top of Rotates and they are watching every single fight like a hawk. But let's do a quick recap of the last final circles so we can take a look at what exactly happened in the chaos.
03:26:41 Ja, da war ein viel Chaos. Wir werden sehen viele Cybercats passieren in den letzten vergangenen Spielen. Ich liebe das, indem wir die Portal nutzen, um sich in die Position zu erreichen. Es gab sechs Quads leften, wenn sie das Spiel gemacht haben. Und dann haben sie einfach nur noch ein bisschen zu überleben. Jetzt in die Top 5 geteilt, um noch mehr Placement Points zu bekommen. Noxgas.
03:27:03 E6 geht weiter, alles geht weiter. Jetzt sind sie in den 4-4. Und sie denken, wenn wir in den 3-3 gehen können, wir haben unser Job gemacht. Wir werden nicht gewinnen das Spiel von diesem Punkt, sondern es geht weiter. In den 3-3. E6 geht weiter, Cybercats, Job gemacht. Und dann haben wir unsere 3-3-V-3. Und das ist dann, dass wir Vamucre, Vamucre, nehmen die Weihnachtspreadung.
03:27:32 in great positions to take angles onto Aftermath here. They even got the high ground over them. And sadly for Aftermath, there was very little chance of them winning this fight with the positions that Bamakureo had found themselves in.
03:27:44 Yeah, I think that was a great use of Caustic's Barrels there for Cybercats, just trying to survive as long as possible. But again, that was the game where they got zero kills, so it was a little unfortunate for them there. Moving on to the next game, this is the one that was all about ANC outplayed, right? We saw the Carnage on the other side of the mountain range, which all of these teams who you're going to see on your screen kind of just let the teams get about their business and take each other out. But Cybercats inside of the building towards the end game again. Red Dragon get eliminated, and it was just the solo that was left.
03:28:12 von August in Hungary, Unlucky, who managed to actually get into second place here, which is exactly what you're trying to do as a solo. Extra placement points is great. You might be able to influence that final fight, maybe pick up an extra KP as well, but I mean, look at this position. It's pretty much unseageable here. Watson, Ulmer down, the interception pylon, any nades that come out are going to be useless. Any Noxgas that gets thrown is going to be useless, and I'm pretty sure that the Black Hole came down from above, if I'm not mistaken, which just slowed this exit down even more. So the solo, I mentioned...
03:28:42 Ja, es war nur über das Team, dass ihr Crosshair bereit ist, wenn sie X-Out of die Tür aus der Tür sind. Und sie hat genug Dammage gemacht. Es war nur über die Wrapp von Auglust und Hungry, ich glaube es. Es hat ihnen zu machen, dass sie das Final-Circle haben, und die Outplay waren, dass sie die Victory getroffen sind.
03:29:05 Es war ein einfaches und einfaches Spiel, aber wir müssen uns über die Position haben und wie schwer sie hatten, um es zu arbeiten zu können. Jetzt, Nummer 6 ist, wenn wir E6 wieder sehen, mit Kills dominate.
03:29:16 The circle came up towards Trials, but they weren't able to get the victory because of it. And then we started to see the Cybercats go on their run. They jumped from 9th position to 5th position with that kill. And then they start to think about what could be. Could we get a victory? And this is when the Full English full sent it onto Vamokadere, who I think Vamokadere will be a little bit annoyed, but the Full English felt like that was their only game-winning play, was to try and quickly wipe that squad and then take the fight, because they knew they kind of had to move first.
03:29:45 Do you think there would have been a different strategy for Vamo Correa to actually fight back against them or do you think that this was the best play for them? I think that Vamo Correa, they were always gonna wait and maybe didn't expect this jump and they tried to fight back but it was the swing, especially from Del, the vault.
03:30:01 Es wird so schwierig zu kämpfen, aber wenn Cybercats das passiert, sie wussten, dass das eine Waffe war, das war eine Waffe, das war eine Waffe, das war eine Waffe. Die wussten sie, dass sie zu zweit sind? Wahrscheinlich nicht, aber diese Kills waren massive für sie, und das ist großartig für sie, auf ihre Punkte und ihre Chancen für die playoffs. Oh mein Gott, look at Element 6, mit 29 Placement Points, 47 Kills und 76 Points overall, und Cybercats jumped zu zweit.
03:30:32 Ja, Cybercats jumping up. That was one of the biggest jumps we saw all day. Like Dan mentioned, August and Hungry, by the way, quite quietly went about their business today. No real big wins for them, but 50 points in total and 23 kills still placing inside of that top three. And I think for 07, it's been a little bit of a change of fortunes. We were kind of raving about their World's Edge and how good they look, but it was all about Stormpoint today for them. And I think the World's Edge kind of let their day fall apart a little bit. Top four is great, don't get me wrong, but...
03:30:59 When you win two games within the first three, and then you're going into World's Edge, you're probably thinking we should be closing out first or second place today, but it is what it is. Allianz do get enough points on the board to push themselves up to fifth, which is a decent enough finish for them, but Bamokere, I think, is the comeback of today. Zero points after three games, end up in sixth. What a performance that is.
03:31:21 Yeah, absolutely incredible. And, I mean, we're going to be looking at the season standings so far after 3 Series played for Group A and B. And Gaskin, I mean, take a look at these numbers here. Yeah, I mean, it's going to be a little bit bittersweet for 07, as Onsen was talking about, because that...
03:31:38 Die 1-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2
03:31:52 They were all teams that we were talking about before any of these matches started, so I'm not surprised to see them up there, but the big thing is Aurora have only played two series, so they certainly will now be on catch-up patrol and try to catch up the rest of the squad. Bamukura with an incredible day of action in both lows and highs. After going three back-to-back zero points, they then get back into things and push themselves up to 11th in the overall tables. This is where you want to be. You want to be surviving. You want to be in that top 20 as the season continues. You want to be...
03:32:21 Ja, du bringst up ein guter Punkt, um Aurora nur zu spielen, und oh mein Gott, das ist, wenn sie bereits standen da, das ist going zu sein. Jetzt, wir sehen Phoenix Legacy, eine andere Team, wir waren in 22nd place, die ich glaube, sie werden able zu bringen ihre Score auf mit der nächsten one, aber ich weiß nicht. So, go-next, wir sehen sie struggling quite a bit, so es wird interessant sein.
03:32:48 Yeah, I think you're looking to go next there and I want to give them a little bit, you know, of love because I think they've got a lot of progress to make in the future. Yeah, absolutely. So we were talking about teams and we were looking at the overall standings, but there is a specific player on a specific team that I really have to point out today because they played incredibly out of their minds and brutalized the entire roster. I mean, like, let's take a look.
03:33:13 I'm talking about Slab from E6 as the MVP of today. And I mean, Element 6 was just really in their element, if you'll excuse the pun. I mean, Slab was outputting a ton of damage along with K21's team, and that allowed them to follow up on a lot of kills and secure not only placement, but also KP. I mean, in game number one, when they lost in second place, they were able to...
03:33:35 Outdo first place in terms of points, just purely due to kills. They're able to work together so well and focus fire teams and secure its replacement. I mean, obviously communication, when we did the listen-in, is incredibly on point. Their vibes are great. I mean, they're able to stay positive even when they're taken out mid-game. So, I don't know, I dare you guys to say no to Slab being MVP, but I think he deserves it today.
03:34:02 Ich denke, ich glaube, er hat sich auf den Bloodhound erinnert. Und das ist etwas, was ich freue mich zu sehen, ist ein bisschen ein Compositioner, der versucht, etwas anders zu spielen, in einem aggressiven manner, das wird ein paar Legends sein. Und das ist genau das, was Bloodhound kann. So ich denke, Slab ist...
03:34:22 Und wie ich gesagt habe, was er will, was er will, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus, was er in und aus.
03:34:43 Ja, I mean, E6s were involved in pretty much every end circle. It felt like that anyway. They were just involved. We had so much of their POV because they just get into gunfights. They're aggressive, but they also succeed in those gunfights. And there was even a time on Stormpoint where they won a gunfight. They lost a player. They stayed alive. They fought off two teams. They got back up to a full three and then they got into the final circle. An incredible day. And, you know, Slab was a huge part of that. Yeah.
03:35:07 Absolutely. Shout out to E6 for having a phenomenal day. But another team that was having a great day today, someone that we and a team that we really want to elevate. We actually have an interview with Hockies today and I am so excited to speak with him and along with our panel. Hello. Oh my God, your room is awesome. Thank you. Hi, what an amazing day for Alliance. How do you guys feel about the matches that you've played today?
03:35:33 Wie war es für den E6?
03:35:59 I think it's difficult to take, is it, when you have those kind of days and you're like, it's almost a what-if day. It's like, we should have done this. It's like, what if we would have done these moments? I mean, how do you think overall, like the macro was today, do you think it is just those individual errors that put you in those positions or do you think it's something a little bit bigger?
03:36:19 I think our macro today was actually really, really good. We had like the game three where the zone hard pulled away from us. That was kind of lucky, but other than that, I feel like we were doing the right things and we were making the right plays. We just, you know, we can't die for free. That's basically it.
03:36:36 Now, it's obviously a bittersweet day. The last day we'll see Yuki in action today. I just wanted to give you the chance to talk about Yuki, what he means to you, how good he was of a teammate, any of your favorite memories of what he's done on the team?
03:36:51 Ich erinnere mich auf Yuki 2.5 Jahre vorhin in der Valk.gb-Kaustik-Meta. Er war der beste Kausik-Main in Europa. Es war eine unglaubliche Reise. 2.5 Jahre zusammen, es war großartig. Ich wünsche ihm den Best of Luck. Wenn er möchte, kann er zurückkommen. Wir willkommen ihn mit open arms in der Szene. Es war eine großartige Reise. Wir freuen uns ihn.
03:37:20 So sweet. I feel like you guys played really well together. And you spoke about getting fifth place isn't bad, but you wanted to do better. So what is something that you look at with these matches? And what do you bring to the next matches with having this experience?
03:37:37 Ich denke, wir müssen uns auf den Gameday zu sharpenen und zu stoppen, die Fehler zu machen. Ich fühle mich unsere overalls Gameplan und unsere overalls Setup ist wirklich gut. Wir müssen uns gut zu machen. Das ist es. Also müssen wir uns auf die Mistaken und uns vorbereiten. Ja, absolut. Wir alle glauben in Sie. Vielen Dank für die Zeit aus Ihrer Zeit zu reden. Es war ein Spaß. Danke für mich. Ich freue mich.
03:38:07 Well, what a day to end Yuki's career with Alliance. I mean, they did a great job. I know that it'll, you know, fifth place isn't good enough for them, but it's that perfectionist mind, and I get it. It's a competition. I mean, but they did a great job today on set. Yeah, I think you could obviously feel the frustration there, I think, from Hakis. There's the missed opportunities, I think, is the story of the day for Alliance, and it's understandable. They put themselves in some really good spots, but they weren't able to convert opportunity into results.
03:38:35 Das ist der Geschichte der Zeit, ich denke, ein paar Jahre. Es gibt diese Momente, wo es gesagt, hey, wir haben ein guter Platz. Hey, wir haben ein paar Worte. Wir haben ein paar Worte gemacht und wir haben das Worte gemacht. Aber es ist einfach, dass etwas nicht klicken, was es ist. Und ich bin sicher, dass, you know, es werden werden. Wir wissen das. Unfortunately, Yuki ist nicht zu sein, dass das Roster nicht mehr. Aber manchmal...
03:38:55 Wenn etwas ist, wenn etwas ist auf dich und du musst, es kann ein neues Beginn starten, und es kann einen guten Schritt pushen. Ich erinnere mich, wenn Vyfes lebt, ich dachte, oh mein Gott, was sie werden ohne Vyfes? Er war der Gibby, er war der Mannschaft, er war der Mannschaft, ihn und Hacken haben ihn zusammengearbeitet. Und dann haben wir Yuki. So es ist nicht der Ende der Geschichte, um, für sie, um, bei dem, um, bei einer Art von der Imagination. Und ich denke, sie werden sie haben einen wirklich tollen Weeks ahead. Und ich muss ehrlich sagen, ich bin sehr gespannt, was es für Allianz ist. Ich denke, es gibt viel mehr für Allianz.
03:39:23 Yeah, me too. I mean, Gasky, you asked a great question, by the way. I think that was so sweet for them to say that they would always welcome him back with open arms. I think that their future looks very bright and I'm really excited to see how they play next. Yeah, likewise, Yuki, if you ever want to team with me, just hit me up and we can make it work. I'm sure we can do something. No, it's, you know, you can tell that it's a tough time for Haki.
03:39:44 I don't think anyone would want to make these changes. It's sad to see Yuki go. But at least there are those memories there. He has done a lot for Apex Legends. He's done a lot for Alliance. And I wish him all the best. And hopefully we can see him return one day. Because we have seen players, you know, kind of retire, then come back. But who knows what will happen with Yuki. But great to hear Haki, you know, say such nice things about him. And as Onset said, the next thing for Alliance now, there's a big question mark there. But it does lead to exciting times. Even though it might look like dark times right now, you've got the chance of...
03:40:13 a fresh start and who knows what's in the future for them. Yeah, absolutely. And I'm so excited that we're going to be able to see the future coming soon. And I mean, today was just such a great beam of light on showing how EMEA plays and how well these teams, I mean, listen, we had expectations of these teams and they absolutely shattered them. So I feel like we have to do a rerun of our top segment.
03:40:34 But yeah, I'm very excited to see where EMEA goes, especially with all these teams and the roster changes. But it was great speaking to you Onset and Gaskin about all the games today. Thank you. It's been a pleasure. It was a lot of fun.
03:40:49 Yeah, absolutely. Well, don't be afraid to go anywhere because we have more Apex coming up for you. North America Day 2, or sorry, no, Day 4 will be going live at 3 p.m. PT or 11 p.m. GMT. And we are going to be having Space Station Gaming show up as some of the teams that you can watch today. And it's going to be so fun. We also have LG showing up and Complexity. So you are going to be in for a treat.
03:41:18 I mean, you get to look at all of these sneak peeks of what exactly it is that you missed. And if you did miss all this, don't worry, you can watch all the VODs here or at Playapix on YouTube. So don't be afraid to go check that out or on the socials, which is always great for catching up on the highlights. I'm personally super excited to watch LG Play today because they have been having a great series of games and complexity as well, especially with Kim Chi Lee. I mean...
03:41:46 They have been playing and practicing so much. I have a good feeling that they're going to be able to pull up their 8-game today. So very excited for NA, so don't go anywhere. Just go stretch your legs. Maybe get a snack or, you know, whatever. Whatever else you want to do. So again, just in case you missed the past action, don't worry. You can always follow the action at Play Apex Esports on X, YouTube, and Twitch. Thank you to everyone who watched today. Thank you to our amazing players and our production team who makes all of this happen and our casters.
