when we play basketball a little bit later.
Sound good?
Alright, yeah, okay, good.
Hey!
Alright, well, I guess basketball might be better for me, but certainly, I know that
Onset is a cheater.
That's all good.
That's all good.
I'm a winner.
Hey guys, I'm going to say you well, and we're playing Guess Who.

Technically not a movement ability, but you can go faster.
Am I Bangalore?
No.
Technically not a movement ability, but I can go faster.
Wow.
It is a passive.
It's a passive.
To have a passive ability that makes me faster.
I'm female, I can't hit console.
Oh, it's going to be so obvious I just can't think of it right now.
Here goes Varsalc.
Conductor?
We'll play some.
That's how it's done.
That's how you do it, boys.
That's how it's done.
Hey, I'm Vera from Team Liquid Apex.
I yield, and I'm who's trailer.
Hi, I'm Slice from Team Liquid Apex, and our team bullies each other.
Is my legend a skirmisher?
No.
Is my legend a soul?
No.
Is my legend a soul?
No.
Is my legend support?
Yes.
Is my legend support?
No.
Does my legend have a shield?
No.

Yes.
Does my character Hilary-Mates?
Yes.
Is my character in the meta?
Like reasonable meta with like the first eight games?
No.
Does my character's old, like, shoot out?
I guess.
We have, like, Vantage.
Was Vantage reconned?
Vantage bloodhound.
She is by a cryptic meta.
What else is it reconned?
Valk.
Valk's meta.
Vantage or bloodhound, eh?
Is my character Vantage?
Maybe.
Yeah, Vantage say yes.
Yes.
Hmm.
You have one run chance, so you're to guess.
This is my character Mirage.
Heal your teammates!
Yeah!
Mirage!
How does Mirage heal his teammates?
Aw, I'm stupid.
Guys, I just liked that.
It was kind of a winner.
No!
Who is it?
Who heals?
Who throws an ult?
And heals a teammate.
What?
Who throws an ult out?
Like you used to spit it out, right?
Yeah, is it a lifeline?
Yeah.
I said a shield.
I found it.
Shield?
Yes it is.
What?
That was a shield!
It's a big shield!
You get Newcastle and you know that for a fact.
I was gonna guess kind of it.
Because you were like, who's got a shield and my brain is in the way of lifeline getting Newcastle gone.
It sucks to suck.
Dude, why does it mirage?
I don't know.
I did.
He didn't.
That's a shield, bro.
Hello, everyone.
This is Rejects the Apex roster.
My name is Yeriz.
This is Axis.
This is our IGL Alpha.
And today we're gonna be playing a game!
We're gonna be asking previous questions and when they get it right, they get a turn to smash the hammer.
Whoever gets the nail at the very bottom wins.
Which legend is a Marvin robot?
Alpha.
Alpha, first.
You got it first.
Yes, yes, yes.
Can I hit it with that?
Yes, yes.
Okay.
This one, this one, this one, this one, this one.
What's the name of the first match when the Apex Radiance comes out?
I don't know.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Okay, okay.
Where does the Vanguards come from?
I don't know.
The answer is Greedy Run.
I don't know.
Seriously?
What's the strongest armor color?
It's red.
The alpha one.
What's the name of this season's Apex Legends?
I don't know.
It looks like an overclock.
What's the real deal?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's Nox.
No. No.
When Apex came out, what was the legend?
Eight.
No, it's not.
Eight.
Eight.
Oh!
That was so good!
I went all the way.
I went all the way.
No, it's not.
I didn't go all the way.
What's the name of the tiger in the grass?
It's a bullseye.
No, it's not.
No.
I don't know.
I want to go over there.
What's the name of the glass in the grass?
What's the name of the game?
It's called Arthur.
Arthur.
Arthur.
The name of the game is Legend.
And even the name of the game is...
What's the name of the game?
Jib?
No!
The game is over.
The game is over.
The game is over.
Oh my god, bro.
What?
What? Oh, oh, look, look at his man.
Yo, it's Phony.
It's Phony.
What's up, man?
It's Jelly over here, too.
What's up, man?
How you doing?
Dude, what's up?
Come here.
Dude, man, I ran into some serious fans on their off time.
You know, these obviously players are taking
a little bit of a break.
Phony, what's up, man?
I'm doing well, man, just watching the games with the boys.
Unofficially, they're coached.
I love Jeff.
I love White Belly.
I love Duke.
Yeah, why Belly? We heard that was your real name, not why Jellie. Talk to us about that.
I don't know where this rumor came from. Honestly, like, they just love teasing me,
but I don't know. Honestly, I don't know where they came up with this origin.
Well, you know, the 18-year-old from Toronto, he's got to get a little bit of play here.
You know, Tony is teasing him a little bit. But, Tony, I want to talk about
when you got the call to get out here, because most people didn't expect you to be in Paris.
Obviously, you guys didn't qualify. Talk to me about what it was like kind of going through that
process, but then getting the call and somehow ending up out here.
Yeah, whenever you whenever I get a call like that, obviously, I always like made
a lens as I've tried calling from.
So like now making one was kind of depressing.
So when I got the opportunity to play, I was like very, very excited.
And I wasn't giving my hopes up on, you know, coming here and not playing.
So whenever I they told me that they were coming with their visas, I was excited
for them, but I was kind of sad at the same time.
So you want to compete?
Yeah, I want to compete.
I always want to compete.
I mean, the unofficial coaching was happening already.
I had a question about, you know, some of the bands we've been seeing.
We had Maggie just gotten out of this lobby in game three.
There were no new castles, no gibbies.
I was wanting like, why is that happening?
But you were saying these players are so insane.
Maggie is a very tough character to deal with, especially going into a map like
E district. Yeah, no, I agree.
Like a map like E district, Maggie Bann is like very, very needed for the game
to be healthy. And if she's not bad early on, like in the form point games,
and she carries on the district, it'll become very chaotic.
So I think getting her band is like the best outcome for everyone to be able to play like really good apex
Now the other thing I want to ask before I move on over there and talk to Duke a little bit is um
You famously cannot eat just anything right?
So however the first thing you asked me if I had had was a croissant. Yeah
I mean, that's not so like what Paris is not for right? They're pastries. They're croissant or baguettes
I wanted to know if you had like a croissant because I saw like a like a chocolate trick croissant
on like famous on TikTok so.
Which you can't eat.
Which I can't eat but I think seeing you guys eat
it makes me happy so.
So you would rather see us enjoy ourselves in Paris.
Yes.
Even though you can't.
Wow what a good guy.
Good guy Phony over here.
Hey man, great talking to you as well.
I'm glad you're here.
I'm sure all the fans are glad you're here.
Hopefully they get to see a little bit more
Phony on camera later on.
Love you guys.
Love you man.
Hey let's talk to Jelly and Dube over here.
Dube!
What's up man?
How you doing?
I'm doing good.
Just watching the games.
Man, your team has expanded in a way that I think you've always had the fandom whenever you've played.
People have loved watching you succeed, but I feel like you guys have matured in a way with this roster different than other iterations of your teams.
Talk to me about your success getting here and also what you plan on doing while you're here.
Well, a lot of my success is definitely in my playstyle. I'm like a zone, center zone playstyle. I try and rotate quick.
And you know, especially when I have a fragger, I can enable like jelly over here and I have a good anchor like I can make anything happen. So I
Was talking about you being in some ways
Undervalued underappreciated for your ability to put your team in such good positions
Can you comment on that? Is that something you felt has has actually occurred?
Do you feel like a little bit of a forgotten top dog? Yeah, I mean
I mean, it doesn't bother me much.
I just like try and prove myself.
So it gives me like much more like just to improve on, you know?
So I just try and prove I'm wrong.
What would be a win at this tournament?
Winning, obviously, everybody wants to win.
What do you say you can walk away with held hand,
head held high as a result here?
No, top five.
Top five?
Head held high, for sure.
Definitely want to win, though.
This young man also has something to do with these things.
I know a lot of our fans are our community loves hearing from you and your perspective
on what it's like being a pro at this early age.
Can you talk a little bit about your experience coming into the scene?
Honestly, like for young players, it's kind of hard with like school and stuff to start
off really for me.
I've had to like really like I've had much free time.
Honestly, I think people come to a talk to understand that.
I think it's really important to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to
Honestly, I think people, for some people it's hard to understand that, but like if you're
trying to grind and try to become good at something while being in school, you're really
not going to have free time and it just is something you have to accept, honestly.
And the weight of that, the discipline, I mean, I know I moved away from my home at 15
years old to move into the IMG Academy to play soccer for the U17 World Cup national
team.
When I left, it was a depth of living life that I think people who are just teenagers
living at home, having fun, going out, didn't understand. And do you feel like, you know,
sympathetic go to that, that like you're dealing with something that a lot of people your age
don't understand? Um, yeah, you know, it's kind of hard to like describe the feeling for people
like, you know, in real life, honestly, like, it's kind of hard to understand it. So, you know,
for me, I just like, don't even mention it, honestly, that's how I deal with that person.
And parents, all supportive, all understand, you just graduated two weeks ago, you're waiting for
for your college application announcement.
So a lot of stuff in your future,
you're still trying to determine.
Yeah, so I'm just, I'm just going to see what life does.
Honestly, I'm just taking it one step at a time.
I'm not too sure yet.
What's a big win for you here at the tournament?
Just being here, or do you have your head,
your sights set on winning this whole thing?
Honestly, for me, it's just proving everybody else wrong.
I have people love to talk about me personally
and love to slack or love to like put slack on me,
but I'm just here proving wrong.
Why do they keep going you?
Why belly?
I don't know the origin behind that, you know, but.
Well, as you can see, the crowd is live.
It was SAUL Esports who just won and their fans are right over there.
Jelly, I'm not going to call you white belly.
Okay, man. I'm calling you Jelly.
I appreciate that.
Amen. Great talking to these guys.
Our pros, their people too.
They're going through life.
So glad to get an in-depth look at them.
We'll get back to more apex right after this.
Okay.
Well, I found some wonderful, friendly Australian faces in the crowd.
and it is none other than Mama Sharky and Aunty Sharky and they are of course family of our
wonderful IGL Sharky on SAUL. Now Mama Sharky, we're having a little conversation before,
how many lands have you actually attended or what's your son? This is our third land so we've
been lucky enough to go to, we did EWC last year in Saudi, we went to Japan and now this one.
and Auntie Sharky do you just come along for the ride? I do I do of course I do I'm not
going to be left behind. You're going to a different country I'm coming as well. Yeah
exactly that's beautiful. Now obviously you know having the parents in the crowd here
is an exceptional thing for you know the players themselves but Mama Sharky I want to sort
of touch on a little thing that I noticed as well. Sharky's mentality it's improved I
I feel like that he's definitely come out of your shell.
Do you know something that we might not know
about this brand new Sharky attitude?
I think it's the team.
It's just the all three of them
because they've just got such a great attitude.
They're all pretty similar in personalities
and I think they just click.
So yeah.
They're best at each other.
They really do.
They feed off each other, that positivity,
just the synergy, everything about him
and we'll also bring Rodgers into that as well.
He's like Daddy Rogers, I think, to them.
He's the old man of the group, so.
No, it's not.
Which is super funny, but you can see
that personality come from him as well, absolutely.
Now, of course, we're gonna ask this question
to the parents.
What was your first reaction or thought when Sharky told you
that he wanted to play professional video games?
Well, he told me in a conversation when I was at work
and he was in the sick room at school
and I had to say, what are you talking about?
It was like, mum, I want to be a gamer.
And I'm like, go back to class, man, what are you doing?
Like, and yeah, so we had a chat about it.
And we just said, finish high school
and then we'll see what happens and we'll support you.
And Aunty Sharky, obviously you were saying that, you know,
you didn't really discover what this kind of industry was
until 2022. So how are you liking it though?
I live great pecs.
I go camping.
I only go somewhere where I have internet connection
and I set my laptop up near the campfire
and I listened to the husband snore while I'm watching Apex.
So yeah.
So what you're saying, Aunty Sharky,
is that we should play some Apex together
and we can tee up some Apex guys.
I reckon we'll do pretty well, I think.
I asked Rick to teach me and he said,
oh, Mum, I think you'd be a controller player,
but he has not shown me.
I've got you guys, don't worry about it.
Well, it was great chatting to you both
all the way from Australia.
This has been Mama Sharky, Aunty Sharky, supporting that wonderful IGL son, Sharky, from SAUL.
Hello user, you may call me Sticky.
Speed, power, and endurance.
At all, right here.
Just don't let it go to your head.
Are you my close?
Control or turn over?
The choice is yours.
Look at that! Okay, guys up!
Oh dear! Another ruthless kill. Your childhood must have been terrible.
I decided to be a member of the team.
But now I think that I'm a bit of a mentalist.
I'm a bit lonely because I don't have a full-soup team.
Hello, I'm Yufu Yukayama.
I decided to be a member of the team.
The reason why I chose to play for Kyogre is that I was eliminated before the championship, so I think that's the reason I chose to play for Kyogre.
I think it's more serious.
and to come back there's a reason.
I think they both recognize that each other are better
when the other one is involved.
He's always been in such an important position
in the team, so he hasn't changed in terms of saying it,
but he's even better now, and he's happy to be together again.
He hasn't changed much in terms of saying it.
Miike is one of the best players in APEC North,
but he's really one of the best players in the world.
In terms of APEC North, he has the highest KD out of anybody,
and the only two people close to him are his teammates.
and I say something about how good they are.
I think it's the missing piece that Yuka has needed and he's a threat. He's just a threat.
This is the best Japanese team that I think we've ever seen and I think that if anybody from Impact North is going to lift that trophy at EWC, I would want it to be Yuka.
I want to do my best. I will win.
I
Hey guys, I need you to lift that trophy up in the air right now!
Crowd makes some noise!
I decided to farm away with Alliance and go to Aurora because it was mostly, I didn't
really like the way of, we were playing the game anymore and I wanted to have some changes.
The IGL difference between hierarchy and hackers is really big, so I wanted to experience more.
We had a good run with the fact that there was this time for us to split apart.
The time is when it's course. There was this time to go move on.
The label of the best player from Aurora doesn't bother me or doesn't give me any pressure because I'm used to it.
I've always been, and I've always felt like it, so it's just something I'm trying to keep going, that I am the best.
Similar to previous times, I saw a very high mechanical skill in Akku.
He's very young, but he's a huge fighter, shoots incredibly hard.
So, with our coaching, as a Lions and experienced, we should be able to get him up to speed pretty quick.
It was amazing, to be honest. Everyone knows that in the past Alliance have done great things
and they're like an insane team. And getting picked up by them just means that you can
win anything basically if you make a work. So the feeling was just amazing when they
asked me to join.
Just as I was hoping, we'd get the straight up 3v3 between our favourite rivalry Alliance
Is it a Bora stay?
Help me pinch them from the north, and I don't think Alliance have got any way to get out of this.
A tail as old as time!
As Aku gets a next knock, her fat follows up to fight Aku by the way!
I think it's not like replacing, like, kind of fit in the shoe, it's like, more like a new shoe.
Try to like fit to the others, if that makes sense.
I would say Akkut brings the same firepower and this is a little bit more similar to
Almaky when it comes to playstyle so we figured it would be a good synergy between the both
side and both working together with similar playstyle.
Winning our first Land of the Roar would mean that our EWC win, I would say it was pretty
lucky because we got two zones on us and if we win this Land of the Roar I would say
it would be more likely to have to believe in the Zones.
I'm just luckily ending up there.
Oh war! Now move up! They take their opportunity and they take their lead in the first place spot.
I've always said that anything except the win is a loss.
So even if we were going to be a second I would still be sad, but obviously we're going to win.
We've done a lot for these Zones, so I'm very excited. Should be good.
Hey guys, it's Rick here and I hope you enjoyed this video.
Reina and Grace will hear for our STC rewind at the ALGS split one playoffs at EWC 26.
Now to dive into yesterday, if you missed it, Balkans and Liquid, the notorious zero
and howl matchup went toe to toe in our first series and it was fireworks grace all the
way through.
I mean, speaking of fireworks, zero had a craver came back with low HP again.
Kyle ended up in a one V one versus waltzy kind of choked the one V one, but it was,
You know, it was all about Falcos that game won, but at the end of the day, the whole series, Liquid came out way off on the head.
Liquid's been dominant, I think it's the best I've seen Zero play in a very long time.
He says, no, I've been playing like this, but maybe people haven't noticed, maybe my pieces haven't been right, whatever.
Team Liquid is doing well, that's all Liquid fans care about.
Speaking of doing well though, Shopify Rebellion trying to find a little bit of that momentum that Team Liquid has, because it's been stolen from them.
from them. A game, a last game from 20th place took them all the way to 11th, saving
their kind of disaster talk, but also not putting them in a great position for today.
They still have a lot of work to do as well as a lot of our other top teams. That leads
us to series two where even more of the same occurred. But it was on the other side, Grace,
where we had a David and Goliath story, a team that no one expected to dominate at land.
They were good online, but at land had not proven themselves to this degree. Elite Esports
have been maybe the best team in this entire tournament.
I mean, I think Undisputed is the absolute best team
of the Netherlands so far.
And you know, I can't stop singing their praises.
Hangeman, Kynah, and then at Behind Life as well,
have been nothing but phenomenal so far.
As you said as well, most people maybe in our region
know who they are and how good they are.
But right now, the entire world is seeing it
and it's been nothing but a blast.
Mia has already lifted a trophy at EWC.
Can they do it again at EWC 26?
We'll find out, but the elite esports
look like they're first in the running.
However, man, I wanna talk about AGG
Because this is a team that has had the story of not showing up at LAN again.
Well, after Yanya and AGG's 73-point series yesterday,
the biggest they've ever had on LAN, he said, we finally solved it.
And if that is the case, I'm worried for almost every other team in this tournament.
I mean, speaking of word for a team,
what about the team that I've been sharing for the longest of times I can remember?
Alaya.
Oh, boy.
They had a really rough front.
They even heard me as well as yesterday.
I said, am I excited or am I worried?
And I guess I ended up being worried because now they're here.
Last day comes down to this last showdown.
Will they make it or break it?
A lot of these teams are going through that right now.
Listen, talking with hockey's, I felt a little worried.
I know, you know, we've had lunch with them.
You're good friends with them.
He's Swedish as well.
The idea that this team, the winners of two EWC's ago could be going home in the group stage.
They have a lot on their shoulders.
Their fans are expecting quite a big race.
But another team that people are looking at NIP haven't showed up.
first seed coming out of North America.
They were dominant this entire time.
You know, Vayne and Curev, they have been highlights for us
throughout this entire season with Cole as well,
but they need to show up.
Four out of our five high level number one seeds
coming out from each region are outside of the top 20,
which is just kind of the way this tournament is gone.
I mean, it's been across the board, Aurora, Alliance, Wolves,
Zeta, NIP, all of these teams in general
have been looking so strong throughout all of the products
in their respective regions,
now showing up on LAN, kind of lackluster.
And that's kind of really goes to show is that
once you make LAN, it's all fair games.
There's nothing you can say now about regions.
We're all on the same stage and some of these teams
have just been drastically outperforming,
even the teams that we know as Titans.
Even the teams with experience.
That's the one thing, like you said,
when the lights are bright,
it doesn't matter what you've done beforehand.
It's who shows up when it's entered stage time.
And I think these teams now have an opportunity
to say this is wide open.
It's time to take the trophy.
Of course, getting to here is its own story in itself.
And a team that lifted our trophy in Japan earlier this year has had an incredible journey getting to EWC 26.
Of course, I'm talking about Sentinels.
The team culture is the most important aspect to how you thrive as a team and as a unit.
It's with me more than ever.
The love for the team, the trust in the team, and the friendship overall.
You can go scabbling too, go scabbling!
I can't be honest and say that I expected this team out of the crazy titans that we
had to win it because their pathing was the hardest.
They had to climb through the last chance qualifiers just to make it there.
And they did it.
They did the hardest pathing that they could possibly do.
And that's why it's the Cinderella story that we keep telling it to be.
The MVP, the energy at the year five championship is none other than Appliabians, Linkzah!
I think both of my teammates, you know, as we're more experienced players than me, made
me like learn so much more about the game, about like stuff that I just never knew or
like ways to see the game that I never like really realized in my past like
why was I dealing with different teammates and they kind of like made me an
even better player than I was by learning the proper way to play a pegs
that Dave's experienced in the past they had such a great time if you listen to
those comms the way that they were able to mesh together the way that they were
able to early prior rotate and have so much zone control and constantly grief
people from across the map. I think all of that is why Oblivion ended up winning the championship.
Some of the players that have been around the longest in Apex Legends, fighting off against each other, and Sentinels have the high ground, Mastiff working for Monsoon, but he needs Skippets, the low ground drops, but gets dropped himself into 1, 4, 1 at Blinkster.
I think what makes like a championship team and just like makes you perform well is just being with three dudes who just want to play the game together all the time, they always want to be around each other.
other. We did everything together while we're at lands and stuff and like boot
camps. You couldn't say we're three individuals. It's just we're one unit
always, even without an org at the time. Coming into a fresh land and a fresh
perleague split as the reigning world champs is definitely something that I
mean you know it is pressure but it more so motivates me and gives me the
confidence and to be able to replicate that and to be consistent in our
performances and as a team is the most important part for us. So trying to
showcase that and to showcase our heart and you know love for competing is the
most important thing.
and I'm going to show you how
to do it. Yeah, with the raven.
Obviously the coach are
legendary coach from N I P.
Let's talk a little bit about
the boys. Okay? Obviously day
three of groups today. So
where's the mental out for
But you know, we've been here before and so we're confident. It's it's not anything that we've never experienced
So, you know, we feel good. I mean that's that's important right to be ability to be able to reset a little bit
After a couple slower days because we know how strong you guys are first coming out of the region into this land
I think there were some big expectations for the trio. So
What do you feel like has kind of been keeping the team from finding the same rhythm that you found in split one versus here on land
Honestly, it's kind of hard to say. It's not what I expected either. I think we're just
kind of having an off a couple days. Pro League is really a test of consistency over time.
And some days you just don't really show up. But we're playing, we're definitely not playing
to our level. It doesn't feel like we're getting outplayed. It kind of just feels like we're
stumbling over our own feet. But I think we've regained some confidence now. And like I said,
we've been in these like do or die moments.
So I feel like we're probably like more relaxed and more
like we've settled into it more now
that we've had some games to play.
So, you know, that's kind of where we're at right now.
And you know, I think we definitely saw evidence of that
because you were able to get the win yesterday.
So like just took a little bit more of warming up.
How, as a coach from your perspective,
do you kind of balance celebrating
when you find that victory,
but then also knowing you need to stay locked in
continue that level of play. Yeah, 100%. I mean, I got to give my players the flowers
for being able to step up and so perform amidst all that. But, you know, I still have to remind
them, you know, we still got games to play like as long as we keep playing like that,
we will succeed. So it's a mixture of both. Well, I love that we kind of saw you guys
finding your form yesterday. I think that's going to build well for you today in groups.
Thank you so much for chatting before we say goodbye. Any shout outs or thanks you want to do
before we say shout out to NAP the org and obviously my players you know just
the best org there possibly could be and these fighters have been working really
hard so we really just want to be able to show what we've been working on and
hopefully we get to do that so well best of luck today in your game thank you so
much for chatting thank you appreciate it
Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock!
Mellon's here!
Halt! Halt!
Run out there!
The final day of group stages is here and who's going to be able to make it to the Grand Finals?
Who will be going to survival stage and who is going to be going home and watching all of this from the comfort of their house?
Welcome back to the ALGS at EWC 26. My name is DeSven WG joined by Lace, Grateful and Snipe Down.
and snipe down. There's a lot at stake today. You can either go directly to the Grand Finals
or you can go to Survivor Stage. How are we feeling today, Lace?
Oh my God, I'm pumped. But yeah, I could also be in bed as well. So it's like kind of like
a double-edged sword there. But look, it's going to be chaos today. And there's exactly
what we're sort of saying yesterday. Like today is the day you want to watch. You want to
lock in because, you know, your favorite teams are going through. And then obviously some
of those teams that, you know, haven't performed that well will be down at the bottom. So it's
going to be a good entertainment. So I'm game. It's going to be great entertainment. I mean,
there's definitely going to be a lot of teams don't worry. We'll get a chance to talk about
that. But luckily for me, I have two amazing ex pro players coming into today, right? Last
day of group stages, you're one of those teams that can be going to grand finals and one of
those teams that might be going to survivor stage. What are the nerves looking like?
Sleight down. Yeah, I mean, this is one of my favorite days because of just the difference
in competitions where in the past, where teams have the luxury of going through a losers
bracket and there is no elimination before we get to the final stages.
This is one of those moments where we see teams desperate a little more.
And really, it just you never know what's going to happen at this one,
because the teams that are at the top could play any way that they want to.
But the teams that are at the bottom have to force things.
And you just never know what's going to happen at that point.
And for us, this is just going to be the day where what teams practice the most,
what teams are the most prepared.
And I'm super interested to hear the comms that a lot of these teams have,
especially when we're going to be following along the teams on the
French to make that top four team to make it into the winner side or the
teams that are gonna be on that bottom six threshold to make it or to get
eliminated from the tournament. Yeah, one of those things to just remind the
audience is that the first series will be group B versus group C and you have
Shopify rebellions. You got team Falcons. I mean they're gonna be looking
grateful like they're gonna be able to make it. So I doubt we're really gonna
have to touch base on them. Sentinels though, I mean the reigning world
champions, this squad is currently in 12th place with 78 points. They're in that
close as well of going directly to the finals or making it to survivor stage.
I mean you're really looking at teams having different goals in a tournament at all times.
Some people are fighting for survival of just not getting relegated, some are fighting to just
make sure we get into the next round and some are fighting for the you know first upper batch to
make it straight into the finals. The stakes have never been higher and this is like this is really
what makes EWC stick out a lot from the rest of the year is that groups say this now mean more than
and I'm all about the competition maybe.
I love the competition.
Oh hey, talking about the competition,
there you have it, right there.
There's a nice reminder.
Now for all the groups,
we have half-full groups, 10 teams.
You already know the deal, but top 14.
Just to remind you, even though I said it earlier,
top 14 will be moving to the finals
and then you have 15 to 34th going to survival
and the other six are gonna get eliminated at least.
Yeah, they're gonna get the, like a,
Voltsy, thank you for that one, Voltsy, by the way,
but yeah, look, I'm going to be keeping an eye
on like, Alliance and Ninjas and Pajamas
going into this match, because they are
an exceptional powerhouse group of people
and the performance that they have had
over the last two days is just not
in comparison to these other teams.
So, they really need to lock in, but you know,
like Sartre said, they're not just alone,
They're going against the squads that are on the top of that leaderboard.
So it's not like, oh yeah, cool, I just got to kind of fight down in the middle range.
No, like these other teams, especially Falcons is playing today, they're going to want more
points.
Like when have they ever slowed down?
Well, hey, you actually got ahead of us because that is our PS5 story of the day with A&I
P. This is a squad that a lot of people expected them to be in top 14 as well.
now an IP is currently sitting in 34th place actually time for 34 place with
only 45 points first day that we're able to get 18 points a second day
baseball that we're able to get 27 points there is a bit of a nut trend
there for an IP actually snipe yeah I mean historically the cutoff you
mentioned that 45 points has been around the 60 give or take five and so for them
to not get minimum 15 to 20 points I can't I can't fathom it but that's kind
have been the story so far and you know it's the final day they were the number one team
in North America they've been one of the most consistent teams third place at the last
EWC so for them to be underperforming like they are good thing we got to hear from Raven
it sounds like their spirits are up it sounds like they're in the right mindset to come out
there and with their experience and but honestly I'm just I'm a huge game fan I trust in his
IT yelling I think he's he's performed phenomenally this only improved as a player team is great
I think they're gonna come out here and do well so that kind of makes you ask questions
about who's above them in those final places, those 30 and under, to get pushed down because
both Alliance and NIP being right there, they could leapfrog multiple teams with massive
games that we've seen from them multiple times.
I mean, instead of, you know, top being very heavy, I would say bottom is very heavy, the
bottom three teams, they are the ones who's going to be struggling, the apps with most
players, everybody that's above 40 and up, are going to have a little bit easier path
making it out of that relegation.
But the biggest thing is I actually got to interview, as we saw as well, one of the players here from M'Kirisamahabok earlier on today,
and he was really great about it. Ken, big shout out to him. I was talking about them, hey, what didn't work? Was it macro?
Was it just overall fighting? Like, were you losing fights? And I just said, hey man, we got a little bit unlucky.
We only had five out of six weekend rounds over weekends, and I was like, oh, okay, well then, so what are you going to change things up?
We're just walking at the same time. Actually, we might also swap comps. So some of these teams are really reaching right now.
pitching right now. They're like, hey man, if this is not working, we've got to change
things up. Better that be fighting, better that be calms. We've got to do something.
So hoping to see some success out of that.
Well, one team that you guys got a chance to see just now on your screen was none other
than Alliance. I mean, we saw Alliance put out a tweet as well on Hex saying that Hackey's
was part of. He was staying extra time, making sure that they planned what they need to do
to make sure that they stay within survival. And yesterday it was a bit of an up performance
as well for that squad.
Yeah, and we haven't got the chance to speak to Harkis right after the group 2 performance.
He's still well-burned at that interview, his spirits will be lifted.
And the fact that you now just said that he's been staying up and planning and keeping that momentum,
this is what we were chatting about yesterday too, is why, even though they're in the bottom,
this is going to separate them from those other teams because they can get out of this position
with the mentality and obviously also the skill here, but it's going to be something that might be a little bit difficult, I sense, because you know, they're going to get back to their 20s there, but honestly, if Hackers can do it, Alliance can do it, and I fully believe that they're going to be able to make their way up.
Okay, well, I'm hoping that they do because remember that is the squad that won
Impic's latest ALGS at EWC the first time and for hack is actually talking about that for hack
It's just you feel like that puts a little bit extra pressure on your shoulders knowing that you won here before now
You're coming in without effect. A lot of people are gonna question it too. What's it because effect that you ended up getting all those championships for?
What's going through a through hack is mine?
I mean, we actually had a discussion as well on dinner, whereas I'm one of those to say that hey
I don't think like of course effect leaving which is a huge high impact there on any team he would join
But I really think that sometimes the patches don't work out the way you have it
And I actually got to hug hug and fight before we went up to set up on stage as well
And I'm just like hey man. He's like I'm ready. He's locked in
So I really hope that they figured out what they needed to do
But in general he's been saying that hey man the first couple of games especially with crypto and Sierra online
They're so aggressive and we haven't really cooped with that online because obviously pro league did it work
But now we'll have to see if they found the plan for those two first games really
Okay
Well, let's take a look actually at the at the first maps that we're gonna be playing here for this series because it's gonna be none
Other than Olympus and snipe. What are we expecting that of alliance here in Olympus?
I mean man, this is this through a wrench into every single one of these teams in this tournament
Yeah, especially with the world's edge to you know, it's not the typical pro league maps
We've seen every time so for Olympus to come out. I think this is gonna be a
Little more random and we're giving all this hype to an IP the lines
I think with Olympus thrown in the mix like this. It's it might be tougher so much
I'm giving them credit. I'm just like how about we like kick it in
Well, I mean no honestly nobody expected to see NIP where they're currently and nobody expected alliance to be in that cusp
I can honestly say I wanted to see alliance go directly to the finals, but that's not the case
Let's see if they can even maybe make it to survival stages day three the final day of group stages is getting started
We are here, the 3rd day of the group stage, and ladies and gentlemen, this is the 14 teams
that will be awarded for the grand final, but 6 of them will be eliminated.
After today, six teams will be eliminated from the competition.
The years of training, thousands of hours of playing, all these sacrifices
will be able to perform on the WC stage at this moment.
Months of preparation, thousands of hours played
and every sacrifice made to get to this point
all comes down to a handful of games.
And so, ladies and gentlemen,
join me in welcoming your teams to the final day of the group stage,
starting with Kirisame Havoc.
Team Nemesis.
Dory.
Elite Esports.
Flats.
Team Heretics.
Team Heracue.
Votus Pro.
Ninja Impidamass Easter!
Shopify Rebellion!
Alliance!
Team Falcons!
You're defending champions VK Gaming!
Reject!
Limit!
Sentinels!
And finally, World's eSports!
It's the last game of the group stage for these 20 teams.
There will be no second chance. It's now or never.
So whether you are cheering for the favourites, the underdogs, or you're simply here to witness greatness,
you have come to the right place because every decision made could change the course of this tournament.
So welcome to day three of the ALGS Split One playoffs, and welcome to the eSports World Cup.
The good news is that there's still time to rectify your mistakes, but the bad news is that that time is now.
The real work begins here.
I'll see those tanks the high ground off of them and get that initial damage.
Force his event to the truck.
Force him out of here for the things.
Get me clean up on DKG, get eliminated.
This is all for Keelow's truck to take home.
Thanks to the bomb, it'll happen to be careful here, playing out the zombies at the Elstos.
for Keelotrope to take home!
This is when Bob and Bill have to be careful here playing up the numbers at the El Sos.
Please, Keelotrope, with the pop-off, they take any number five with 6KP.
Now the final two, Reject are looking down and Reject take the win!
They took the win on World's Edge, it was 14 kills earlier today.
If you don't want it, almost double digit, here it is, 6-9 kills in a dump.
Welcome everybody to the Apex Legends Global Series, Splint 1 Playoffs at the EWC 2026.
All these teams are fighting for their tournament lives.
We'll be saying goodbye to our bottom six teams at the end of today once we see how
group stages play out. I'm Vicky Kitty, I'm joined with Fighter Tip and we're going to be
opening up the show for our first series because we get a little change up when it comes to the
maps and the way that our players are going to be approaching their possible final six games here.
I am so nervous to see how this goes. A lot of our teams have kind of been using these group stages
as approving grounds, is trying to see how they're going to play out. It's very different from
will you throw Olympus into the mix for the first time on day three as we pull up our POI draft?
Things can get a bit messy. Teams that are in contention and could potentially go home here from this matchup,
I'm going to call out right now. Havoc, Alliance, Ninjas and Pajamas. Short, Ninjas and Pajamas got a coveted win yesterday
to really kind of try to help them, but you immediately start to think, we need to do more to not be in that bottom six.
bottom six power grid for Alliance is going to be their starting place.
I mean it's not even just the teams that are going to get eliminated which is very sad to
say but then you have to consider the teams that want to have that safety net right because the
15th through 34 placing teams in this group stage are forced to play things out in the survivor
stage and a team that comes to mind that has a subsidy in for them is going to be shopped by
rebellion who are currently sitting in 18th overall. We have the crowd to give
them their energy. The Alliance team here in the crowd as they're gonna have
their little powwow because this is a team tip that I feel like looks modal for the first time.
You know sometimes even gods can bleed they say but I love the signs.
Alley Alliance and we will get that chanting through the stadium as we kick off
here for Olympus. Hack is unlucky. Aku. There's been so much talk, so many things, but I love to
see the chemistry between the boys as they get ready. For Shopify Rebellion, quick little update.
We got Phony right there locked and loaded alongside Zynu and Zap with Coach Luke stepping in in
lieu of Dawn. We want to give our best wishes out to Foyful as he recovers throughout here.
But for now, Phony will be, you know, duking it out. Here's the deal go. Phony and Zynu have
definitely want to land together. I'm just gonna say it. This is crazy. I'm gonna say it. They've done it historically. I mean,
the fact that we're going to be able to see Phony play out here, it's also important to note that Don won't be here as well. It's
unfortunate, but it's, you know, being able to play this out with having that history that you've already mentioned, Tiff, and being able to
rally together without Don is going to be very difficult if they want to be able to find themselves in that final lobby,
considering again, they are sitting in the 18th place spot as we also take a look at some of our other team wolves and IP over there, too.
It's gonna be difficult when wolves are also sitting in 24th. I mean, now you have to go hard when it comes to groups B and C last chance opportunity for those bottom end teams.
Yeah, and wolves obviously coming in as the number one seed from APAC South, a lot of high hopes for no name crazy, calling the IGL and the squad, right? So we really need to keep our tabs on this because while
They're not necessarily in that bottom six and facing elimination just yet
But they currently sit with 57 points and that 35th place mark in which enter force 36. She'll see them later today
They'll play it's 45
So we need to have a nice 30 to 40 plus point series to feel a bit safer to
Advance on the survival stage that 10 game gauntlet tomorrow. However, though guys, we got to talk about our reigning ALGS champs
Sentimals
You know the pressure
We got to talk a little bit to send and will they display the send city?
Vibes as we get to see the Sentinel fans in the crowd. This is what I love about our land
This is what I love when it comes to the ALGS lawsuit trying to rally everybody
It also depends on which of these teams are gonna have a very strong start to Olympus with these zone pools, too
It's been really difficult for teams to convert into a better rotate into a great final positioning
Positioning into the end zone. I feel like it's been a big issue for some of our teams as much soon shows off the goods
Shows off the good. You know, I haven't seen this lane yet. I'm a bit upset. Hmm. Oh, she's here
I know she's here. I see her right across with the rest of the set no fans
I love it, but it's fans all around the world here as we get to see a beautiful pan out in Paris
The vibes are immaculate and as our players are gearing to go
We've got to make sure everybody is locked and loaded between subs. Maybe coach is not sitting in here
Our players making sure that all the equipment is working just as it should it's going to be once again
Olympus the start of our first three games and it's important to highlight how we are going to
transition into store point to end this groups
Yeah, that's actually gonna be an interesting series
But I love that we talked about central's right, but they're inside that top 14 and they want to stay there
They have 78 points and the bottom 14 is Team Vision right now.
They're playing later in Group D at 74.
And you look at kind of their average performances with
Virtus.Pro in particular, a team that also has found themselves
relatively high up in that kind of advancement stage top 14.
And it takes a lot to do it, right?
They had a 61 point series in B versus D on that Group Day 2,
which was great for them to really solidify themselves up.
Day 1, A versus B, just 27 point series.
So I would love for them to grab, like I said, a 40 point series to feel safe there in the top of the top.
The fans were so good.
I just love her, the Chad's band.
We're taking a look at Team Falcons 2.
You can't not talk about that.
I mean, they came in strong yesterday, but you can't talk to get bodied.
You know how I feel about that one.
To be fair, the Falcons just yesterday, right?
That was a powerful start in B versus D. They come out with a map one win on world's edge.
It was that 1v1 between Walsy and Zero, Falcons best the Team Liquid there in that moment.
Team Liquid later go on for a surge, right, and we'll check in with them later,
but Falcons had a bit of a, a whole lot of tapering off because it wasn't quite a full-blown
fallout for them. They still grabbed 36 points in that series, but this is where we're looking for
those averages and what you must maintain to navigate those cutoffs. I think it's going to be
around 120 to stay inside that top 14.
And speaking of, you know, some champs out here,
Vicki, we gotta talk about VKG, VKGaming.
Yeah, you're reading champs, VKGaming,
that wants to secure their legacy, right?
We heard the pressure and it's really,
you know, when you get that dove,
when you get to be able to be at the championship of a land,
it's about maintaining that title.
That's so difficult for a lot of these players,
but VKG sitting in 19th overall.
Once again, that safety net is that top 14.
Love to be able to see the family in the crowd going crazy,
but also going to be able to highlight what a lot of these players are playing
for right even in our interviews talking about how they want to make their families
proud. Rejecting another one of those teams here.
They cannot talk about reject. They got two wins in their series yesterday.
They were looking absolutely phenomenal and their fans were going crazy all over the timeline,
making sure, hey guys, you're East. We see so much action. Plus it's been a staple in
in the competitive ALGS scene for so many years now
and to find them alongside Axis and Arufa
who have been playing so incredibly well.
Wabu has been coaching since I believe like 2022
on a plethora of APAC North rosters
comes in with so much extensive experience
to be able to lead those boys to the top.
Making sure everybody's ready to go guys.
We're getting set up before we dive into game number one.
Thank you so much for your patience
because now with all of our legends
knowing what is at risk here,
it's that big trophy smack dab in the middle,
get ready and get comfortable being uncomfortable.
Is one of my favorite things to look at here,
especially when a lot of these-
I have a shirt that says that.
I've met so many other things.
Seeing the Fleshy's here too,
our legends just making sure
that they're warmed up and primed and ready.
But of course, not only are the bottom 16s
at risk of eliminations.
That is actually crazy.
He's mugging me hard to the end of the channels.
The actual chat here is going to be enough is the question because you know once you're at that point where you're finding yourself on the cusp of possibly getting eliminated and your fate is out of your own hands.
That is where you are going to be uncomfortable to especially when we have another group series right after this. These teams don't want to see their keys crushed in the pressure.
Yeah, that's actually a crazy shot. I'm not going to lie. I'm going to keep my hands very far away from that key crusher.
but that is probably one of the wildest feelings as a champion.
Not only do you get the 600K prize call for your team,
and then you walk over, you have the trophy,
and then you get to, like, it's like a finishing final blow
to throw all of their keys into that pressure,
a team that has felt that before as Alliance.
You're a inaugural winner of EWC, looking to maintain that.
I told you guys on Media Day,
I was asking a lot of our former LAN champions,
I was like, what does it look like?
Is it harder to get that first one out of the way?
Or is it more difficult to defend it?
And everyone locked in defending the title
through the changes, all the adaptability that you must make,
the recent patch notes that come through the updates,
a week and a half before LAN,
all the seer craziness that we're seeing back yet again
for that meta.
And a lot of those teams don't want to see
their own keys crushed, right?
You know, the top team in groups gets to actually do the honors
of crushing those teams' dreams.
And at the moment with the way that they've been performing,
That could be elite
Depends on how a lot of these games go down as well as we continue to see a lot of our players who
Finally being able to ramp up by the end of the day and as we do get set up here guys once again
I want to thank you for your patience. Let's jump into a quick interview while we do wait to load into our first game
Hey can finally back here again after a rough couple of two days, but you know
Do you feel well rested enough to compete at this day today?
It's pretty we were pretty well rest with this on Bob River last night. So hopefully we'll put it through today
Really good at both review
And that's really the only way you have to you only have such a brief period of time to actually come back and make a new plan
And go back in again. Yeah, and the biggest thing is that though the pressure is just stacking and
This tournament is so big compared to previous last you played as especially as year five in champs as supernova
I believe. How do you feel that EWC specifically maybe has more pressure than before?
In my opinion, I think support has way more pressure for the audience. Well, the audience
was insane in support. Like you could feel the pressure there, but in this venue,
there are audience as well, but I don't feel the pressure as much. I mean, that's a good thing.
Less pressure means you can perform even better at that point. And I think even today,
you're only about a couple of, like you're like, let's just say 30 points on average. I think if
you hit 30 points you'll definitely make it through the cutoff. So that's really five points average
per game. That's anything that could happen even one big win or just solid consistency. So
how have you prepared for today through the vault reviewing? Have you focused on macro or maybe a
little bit more? Are you losing fights? What's happening? So you see it was we're pretty unlucky.
We had like five years without a zone beacon. So hopefully we will have beacon today and
Um, maybe, maybe some calm changes we have talked about yesterday.
Being able to carry that over into a day like today, highlighting the mindset of a
lot of these players and what they're going through, making sure that everybody's
setups are working great.
We highlighted elite who have been topping the overall standings thus far in the group
stages.
Everyone has not started just yet, but it's the anticipation before we get ready to go
with our possible last six games for some of these teams.
Yeah, it's just those extra moments, the calm before the storm.
And as we walk through Kena Trope, got away yesterday, they were looking really poised
in their positions towards those end games.
It's been really cool to see how everyone's adapted through the group stages and hopefully
Kena Trope can keep on moving up north.
I mean, they're in a solid position.
They're just outside the top 14 by one point.
Consistency has been there, a 40 points
in their first series, 33 in their next.
So as long as we can reach kind of that 114 point threshold,
I kind of just made up that number on the fly right there,
Vicki, I'm not gonna lie,
but I feel like it's going to be in that vicinity
that I would feel most comfortable with for them.
I'm not worried about a week though, not gonna lie.
They're looking pretty good.
They got 138 points coming into this 65 and 73
their series. I saw the apex podcast and their fantasy draft. They were looking to create
these super teams based on points and how everyone was performing. And I just got to
say the team who had elite e-sports on there, they definitely took the lead.
Yeah. Give them a tazza curse, right? Because then you have the curse of, are you the first
stage? I'm going to say like, because we talked about it a lot when it came to alliance and
previous years, right? Are you going to be a stage team? And when you perform, does it
really showcase itself when it comes to match point finals, right? Because you could have
have a great start, but it's about carrying that momentum in terms of that consistency.
And while we get everything set up once again, I want to hear some more, though, from our
talent on the stage.
It's right next to the key crusher I want to hear from Barney.
As you can see, we are here at the front of the stage.
The stage looks absolutely stunning in front of me.
I am joined by Kelly.
Hey, Kelly.
How's it going?
So, we have to establish the actual drama surrounding today,
how everything's been going leading up to this point.
Obviously, the Alliance Boy is not in the position
that they would hope to be in at this point,
but from your point of view,
how are hopes feeling between you guys?
We believe, baby, that's what it's all about!
I'm not sure, but I think they're staying positive.
I'm not 100% sure.
Where's everyone traveled from to get here in Paris?
Sweden.
Switzerland.
Sweden, Switzerland, all over Europe.
Japan.
Han as well.
Make the fandom is epic here for Alliance.
I see some parents in the crowd as well.
We're seeing some parents.
That's right.
Papa, Hakis, standing over there as well.
Unlucky's dad as well.
I'mma quickly come over here, come join me.
We've got mobile cameras.
What's going on?
Unlucky's dad.
Okay.
I'm a dad, I have a four year old, so I'm not quite there, he's not playing video games just yet,
but what I will ask you is, how does it feel to be here in the crowd and see your kids play on the main stage?
It is nice, nice. Last year it was better, it was the first time, but today is amazing.
It's tough, obviously. Hackess also, I know what the hackess is behind me,
Hackess was very gracious yesterday and gave us an interview at the end of the day.
even though obviously he was probably feeling pretty down, was pretty upset
with himself and the team, but at the end of the day it's about how you bounce
back and today is another opportunity. Do you think the boys are feeling
positive coming into today? We are all positive. We push them. The best was we can do.
We have Emily! We are family! Exactly! One final thing before I head it back to the
casters. I just want to say when unlucky you know maybe it's having a tougher
time when he's competing does he come to you for advice do you kind of let them
have a space what's your approach as a dad I need advice for this when my
son's older I don't can do anything but he make it he make it or he makes the
decisions and he knows okay one two three how we feel about alliance
That's what I love to hear, the energy and the crowd, the family support.
It makes me feel so warm inside and I know the players are smiling, they're ready to
go.
And I love being able to have the only support to it, but the faith that these individuals
have, of course, when it comes to the alliance and the rest of the band are rallying up the
troops for every lane that we go to.
It's the he can do anything.
He can do it all.
He makes the decisions, you're so proud of them for me,
because I'm telling you, when you watch your kid
take their first steps, that is just the start of things.
They're like 10 months old, running around,
maybe a little Spider-Man suits you never know.
Next thing on the stage,
Rinding Out Championships, back to back.
And it's, you face adversity in life,
and that is every day.
Sometimes it's just in the day to day,
but other times it's on a massive stage,
competing for millions of dollars.
So they'll lay down on the line.
I want to be friends with Kelly by the way from Sweden.
I love the energy that we have for Kelly.
The show we are.
That was amazing.
I mean, it got me ramped up here too, making sure that everybody is ready to hear the crowd
as well.
It's only going to get louder as the day goes on, especially considering the fact that
a lot of these teams just won't have something to prove your tip.
I mean, it's not only about trying to find your way outside that bottom six, but then
making sure that you have enough of a cushion to not have the ability to get your own thing
and then actually utilize it, right?
Because then you get to look at the other group
that we have coming up right after this,
and if these teams end up doing even better,
then they can just boot you all the way down
to the bottom six themselves.
It can definitely happen.
I mean, that cut off right now, 45 points.
Ninjas and Pujamas is tied with enter force 36 at 45.
Havoc, at 43, it's going to hometown by literally one point
that someone will be packing their bags
and no longer able to play another game in the tournament.
So for some teams on our stage,
This will be the final six games they play
at our ALGS split one playoffs.
And I'm starting to get a bit nervous.
My hands may be a little sweaty,
but honestly, a team that I'm feeling
more confident going into.
I was gonna say Ninjas and Pajamas,
but I also am for them as well,
cause you got Vayne in the middle and Kirev there.
I was talking to Dia this morning,
and we were looking at stats in particular.
And this has not been Kirev's best showing
in terms of the consistency in his competitive history
hailing from that South American region.
However, it's not permanent.
Everything is temporary
and this is where you turn it around.
Why are you highlighting that too, too, right?
Because then you have to consider
nearly from Argentina trying to make the boys proud.
I'm hearing we got a video with Falcons
and as they get ready to go, I'd love to tune into it.
Hello, it's Gilb, I think normally I'd start by ripping the pillow off, but let's start
with the chair, I usually sit at the edge of the chair like this, so the armrests don't
go in the way, so let's get a little bit closer here, honestly I hate the armrests so I'd
normally riff them off but I can't so that's okay. This is good. I'm gonna move
the monitor a bit. This is way closer than this. Let's move this a little bit up.
Move more up like this. My monitor pretty close. It's like probably like I don't know
about there. Part of the desk a little higher too, maybe like there. This is pretty good.
In-game, I would go native, like fullscreen, everything. I'm going to go max FOV and then
like the only settings that change in game are, I'll play on 2D for the damage feedback.
I'll play with my Hemarkers all. Disable FOV scaling, maybe turn this off,
factory chainhealing. I plan on zero 220 zero for my record color. I'll just like
on empty off. Taking damage on death clocks, closing these off, always sprint,
odd-push on. Yeah everything low for graphics. 4-3 linear for controller.
No beds room. Chainhealing is off, always sprinting is also off. Mantle
blue seal on minimal. I kind of hold for my jetpack and then compact for
everything that I interact with. And then I play, it's kind of weird, I guess. I play
with color blind mode on, the Deutronopia one. Pretty standard default setting for the most
part, honestly. Monitor very close to the space. And yeah, that was good.
We get the information and the rundown on the settings, which is nice to see by the
way. I actually have basically all those settings already activated. So at least I'm going in
the right direction. That's nice to know that I have a footing in doing something that I
I know what I'm doing, but anyways
Being able to talk to a lot of our players figure out how they're going to be able to elevate their gameplay and for those
You guys at home taking some notes that way you can try to rub it get that I'm sorry
Oh, hold on guys
There's a really good reason that guild is on stage as a professional video game player because I watched you miss that I watched
You miss it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh
No, you probably heard that but here's the deal guys
I just want to say something we were on ninjas and pajamas just a few moments ago, and I received a dm
I came through immediately pops up. I got a turn you know to strip on
NIP going to go crazy today book it
I said okay bet it goes fun fact NIP best America's team on Olympus and third best team on storm point
It's their time and that's true, right?
They are the best Olympus team from the America scoring a hundred and fifty one point
42% of their points were from Olympus Vicki
So for some that may not be wanting to play Olympus this late in the series, maybe this is what an IP needed
You know what I see if that's gonna be enough though Tiff
Especially when we start on Olympus you have to highlight the teams that may have the most consists. Oh my gosh
Maybe said start the game
We did it best
Really peaceful
I had to take some notes how quickly I could try to follow this, if it takes me ages actually.
Omega Sleeper, we get to see a little way by guys, we're just making sure that everybody
set up is working just for full transparency here.
Got the full Apex Legends startup for our third day of group stages, but TIFF highlighted
and once again guys, well as you guys just tuning in, we will be moving on to Olympus
for our first three games of the day.
time too, which is important for the teams who may have more of that success on Olympus
as the crowd is giving them their energy.
Sentinels now.
Monsoon's already opening up packs.
Hold on.
Hold on.
We can't leave yet.
We can't leave yet.
It's going to be one blue and two whites.
It's going to be one blue and two whites.
Oh, it's actually.
Hold on.
Hold on.
He opened.
Not the ramparts.
Can no way.
Oh, Monsoon.
I could have.
I could have.
I want to say this is great, actually.
All right, so while Monson's having some fun,
let's tune into Reinde, who's having a good time, too.
Well, speaking of Monson, we have his fiance right here
as well as the Sentinel Superfans crowd.
Make some noise, Sentinel's!
Yeah, baby!
They gave me a jersey, so you know,
I already know who I'm rooting for.
Riley, this is a big moment.
I mean, you couldn't have experienced
a more emotional moment than what happened at Champs.
Can you just walk us through that hug between you two?
Oh man, honestly, I kind of broke onto the stage
to go give a hug.
It was just so exciting and so inspiring
to be able to watch him accomplish his lifelong dream.
We've kind of been waiting for that for like, I don't know,
10 years since we were like 13 years old, so.
One of the many things, I don't know if he was doing it
with you, but Monsoon had taken the split off
to work at a bakery.
Was that your bakery?
Yeah, yeah, we worked there together.
So he just was making a croissant and then said,
let me go back play effects, won a world championship.
Yeah, he's my delivery boys.
You're shopping everything off.
Hey man, you know, status with the fiance,
you're a delivery boy, here you're a world champion.
That's okay, Riley, you put him in his place, thank you.
Keep him humble.
Okay, so let's say, what's your name?
Liv.
Liv, now why are you supporting Senzema?
And here's the club community manager
who's loading out Epixemen, super excited.
One of the things about this team is their their energy, right?
I think that's kind of what we look at the fun that they have.
Talk to me about what it's like being around the boys
and how they keep that silliness as a part of their competitiveness.
I feel like it's just a group of friends hanging out.
You can really see how they enjoy the Chubbys Company
and especially directed with their fans.
It's been great.
We're fun. Speaking of fans, you guys are high, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
What? Who do you lose your favorite player on center?
Hey, Monsuit, for sure.
What do you love about Monsuit?
His energy, he's super funny to watch.
He's like the player.
So yeah.
Have you been watching him stream for a long time before this?
I have not been personally.
I sort of just got into Apex very recently for this tournament.
So I'm very excited as my first tournament watching Apex.
Hey, we always love welcoming the new big,
make some noise for the new people coming into Apex.
We love that.
This is a great eSports, man.
We have the best Saturday this time in eSports.
I usually say Sunday, what made you come to this?
What made EWC your first tournament choice?
I was getting back in Dayfax with some of my friends.
We used to play years and years and years ago,
and just for whatever reason, I saw Sentinels qualify,
and I was like, I should get back in,
and this is gonna be fun, and then here I am.
Father, man, well thank you for coming.
Welcome, hope you guys enjoy.
I also have to shout out, you may not hear from them
because they only speak French,
but right there, those are Blinkster's parents.
So if you could pan the camera just to show them,
give a little bit of wave.
Blinkster, a huge part of Sentinels win.
not only a chance, but hopefully here.
Riley, any last words of encouragement for Monson
before they take stage?
Back to back, baby.
Oh, not much more to say than that, guys.
You sent it back to you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Love hearing this here from Reinde, the support from Riley
and the rest of the Setno squads.
And then you see Monson, Blink, Serifon.
They're all going to be mugging the screen here.
Everyone's ready to go.
And opening up packs while they're doing it,
piece of taking a quick little nap too.
Making sure you got everybody geared up and ready to go to start off our third day of the AOGS.
He makes the specials, I like to say, a little cherry on top tip.
Yeah, it was just honestly really lovely to hear from Riley.
I just remember being back in Sapporo just a few months ago and sure, yeah,
you deserved to break on to that stage all day.
I'm surprised you were able to track down mom soon.
Because if you guys remember correctly, that man was sprinting throughout the entirety of the venue
you and it was the coolest thing to witness. It was such a huge celebration. So many people
got down there surrounding the link sir fun and monsoon. So you do definitely have to
give out the shout outs to fun and link sir as well because so many good comms and fun
moments of Vibe team a great team and I'm looking for a fun repeat.
We talk about the story of how you know formerly obviously oblivion now under the title of
Sentinels how that even played out when I was stranded in Tokyo with fun and we
have gotten snowed in and we didn't know what to do but then he found his way
there so did I and we see monsoon finals day right they all group up together
they've made it through the gauntlet a team that had to go through the LCK to
even get to where they were at in champs and then monsoon rolls up wearing a made
Outfit in support. It's really did. I mean, the Lerfer for the LGS is just
Chapters deep as Alliance are also trying to play hot potato, but alright. Is it lucky a little embarrass right there?
Okay, he called off you. I will defer away from the the catch and drop a stat or for y'all
Alliance has had the most points in a match series at and it happened at EWC last year
Do you know how many points that was?
135 points maybe in a single match series. Do you know how insane that is?
That is so many points here, and you'd be through even just like a hundred points on it
They'd be at 147 near the top at that point for now
I told you guys I'd be satisfied with like a 40 to 50 out of that that puts them up in that range of you know
87 to 97 and even if they're at the top of that survival stage group
It's so much further away from that bottom six. That's crazy
I'm just being able to try to tally that up and showcase that consistency when it comes to the international talent
that you have to worry about.
Can you imagine just like the top heavy teams
that we've witnessed climbing the normal pro league season,
kind of falling behind where it matters at LAN.
Just looking at the stats alone, two-tiff.
You have VP who usually ends up getting
the best Olympus games in AMIA.
They've scored a total of 145 points,
but then you look all the way down to team heretics
who are currently situated in 31st overall.
Usually they were right behind VP, scoring on average like 139, 41% of their points coming in from Olympus.
NIP though specifically were the best Olympus team when it came to the Americas region.
But it's about finding that now before we get started within Olympus for our first three games.
And while everybody is situated and getting ready to go, I know you guys just want to go into the game,
but we have to make sure all our players are ready.
I want to hear from you guys at the studio as we take a look at some of these breakdowns.
Tournament online? Like regional finals?
All of them. Well, let's find out what's gonna happen.
I mean, we're still waiting for the first game of this series.
It's taking us a little bit longer.
But don't worry, that's what we came back.
Yeah, stop the game, Seven.
I know. I want to...
I think we need to use that button that you were able to make yesterday.
Sorry, I put us in an ad break. I got the wrong one.
A completely different one.
Sorry, Chad.
Grace, well, I'm gonna be going to you. You have to wait now, right?
You're one of these players like Alliance,
like some of the other squads, NIP especially.
What's going through your mind?
Is this gonna affect you in any way, shape, or form?
Yes, trust me.
I still remember, this is the thing.
These are two different perspectives
when you've worked behind the scenes
and when you're playing as a player.
As a player, I'm like, bro, start the match.
What are we waiting for?
And then behind the scene, you see a PC is burning.
People are getting saved out of,
running out of a fiery building.
You know, they're doing everything they can.
And I mean, they're just trying their best.
I'm not really sure what technical issue it is at this point, could be anything, who knows.
But I'm sure that they'll do their absolute best to get the match rolling as fast as possible.
Right on, Will Snipe, earlier we were talking, actually we didn't even get a chance to talk about this,
but something major that is currently happening within this group is that Shopify did end up making a roster change here for the final day of Group 3.
Yeah, we had a bit of a medical emergency with Koyful meeting some attention there and obviously best wishes to him.
It sounds like he posted something,
sounds like he's recovering and just hydrating,
and that's just the biggest thing for them right now.
But there really isn't much of a better sub
that they could have when they got Phoni on their roster.
And the greatest thing about this is the last time
that Phoni was on this roster, working with Zynu.
They were actually under space station gaming,
not what they're currently playing as,
but they were the split to 2024 champions
in Mannheim, Germany.
So making a team change after they got first place,
you know, there was some controversy around that.
Definitely.
But coming back, I mean, it'll be interesting,
and this is why I was talking about the comms,
because it would be super cool to hear them.
They're not guaranteed to go through.
They're still kind of sitting in the middle.
I don't know exactly where to start,
but I think they're around the 10 to 15 range.
And for them, it really just comes down
to getting the points necessary.
I would love to hear how the IGL
is going to work with this roster.
Just get it.
Phoni has been the IGL in the past,
and he was the IGL for the CrazyTeez roster
all throughout the pro league season
where they were not able to make this.
So it'll be very interesting to see how that dynamic works,
but I'm sure Zanya is going to take control of it.
Phoni's just going to do his role that he needs
to fill for this roster.
And I guarantee you that they're going to be good.
already had that cohesion from the past. It'll be really interesting to see how they come
out but overall storyline is there, it's set and it'll be really interesting to see what
happens. I mean it's really just having an extra trick in the bag so to say, a little
bit of extra spice there because now you have the normal, I'm assuming being a former IGL
he'll probably, he'll just probably feel an adapt which he's more than capable of doing
as well but I mean if everything, if everything hits the fan that you're in game five and
Nothing is working. Hey, pull up.
Pull up.
There could be some sabotage going on here, bro.
I mean, I'm not just going to be salty about getting dropped.
I'm just saying, hey, man, if nothing is working,
you got to throw everything at it.
That's all I'm saying.
I think you could have had a better sub than Tony.
Yeah, honestly.
The ball variant, that.
The ball.
Yes, out of like the pick of the pool.
So, you know, if it's just, like you said,
if it's just not working, just chuck Tony in the reins
and we'll see how it goes.
But like, honestly, it is going to be very exciting
because I remember, yeah, when you're saying way back then,
like, I wasn't even in esports at that time.
And I remember space station space, it was everywhere.
So the fact that we kind of get to see
that little synergy today, God damn, this is a big day.
I mean, what right now Shopify sitting in 18th place,
65 points by the way, they won 30 points,
they too, 35 points.
Give me an estimate in regards to points,
what are we expecting out of them,
especially with this change?
Just a reminder, 30 man, they won 35, they did.
I mean, I still think they're gonna probably end up
that 30 to 40 range are probably going to be right next to that cutoff. I mean, we said
the cutoff was what around 113 points, I believe for the top 14 has been the historical
past throughout all these events. So I mean, they're looking at what they need a solid
55. Yeah, is the bottom. Okay. Yeah, they need a solid 55 points today. And you know,
that's going to be a top three top forward to guarantee to go through with that top 14.
So it'll be interesting, but I mean, like we said, I mean, phony, I really, I really
do. I think one of the big things will be to hear the car. I want to know who's going
the IGL there because Phony has only IGL for four straight years, five straight years.
It's the only ever really done.
So it'd be interesting to hear the Compton if there's confusion, if he's giving too much
information or if he's just letting the Combs be dominated by their main IGL and Zynu.
But overall, I mean, they aren't really lacking or missing out on that much firepower.
Obviously, Foythill is an incredibly talented player.
One of the most individually skilled players in the game.
We've all been watching N'Gro as a player, but Phony definitely brings a different kind
of role.
He's going to bring more vocal role to the team and maybe give them a little more confidence
to stop sitting around the middle of the pack, because this was the best team in North America.
They're one of the best teams. They have the best placements overall in all North America,
so it'll be interesting because they haven't been able to get to those end games as much.
I think they've won one game so far throughout this tournament, but right now,
it really comes down to how they're going to fit. I'm sure they have that chemistry from the past,
and I think they're going to come out. They're going to come out strong, and I really do see
them as they're not going to be one of the eliminated teams. I don't see that being
possible. They have to draw heroes across. So I think they're set there, and I think it really
is just managing with what they're given and the goal is obviously to qualify but if they don't it's
just making sure that they do what they need to do. Yeah, I mean I think one of the biggest reasons
to talk about teams that have been performing in the past as well. I think this is one of the scariest
rounds for all these teams that have been. Not because oh you can get sent home at any point
in the tournament, a lot of the times you can get sent home. Well what I'm saying is I think this is
the biggest struggle but for the survival round if they make it into the next I'm expecting every
heavy hitter to make it through there and that's just the thing about these teams that have that
experience and you know veteran experience on the team where they know if they just make it through the little
The little little gap right there
Then they can maybe go all the way because we said it as well or like if they make it through here
They're going straight to finals. They can win the lobby like they're still that good
I mean, they're the only team I think to ever break up after winning a tournament. So
What are you gonna do?
Wait, hold on. Hold on. So you said you expect about 55 points from them, right?
No, I'm expecting more around like 40 45
So I think they're gonna get the kind of I would not be shocked to see them
Overperform from what people are thinking. I mean the worst case is just funny holds a grudge from everything that happened
How many points are you expecting out of them 40 45 as well or lower or higher?
Yeah, I'm gonna probably sit around the 35 to 40 to be honest with you like yes, you know the synergy together will be good
I am excited to obviously see them perform and yes voting has been screaming
You know, so there is that kind of like thing in there, but yeah, I'm probably gonna sit around that mark
but I mean that's sitting in a nice position anyway, so
It's gotta be a stable. I think I'm out of points for them. Okay. All right and graceful
I mean, I'll just say yeah now you can't say performing an M35 35 means you're just top that
That's
That's not performing, but I mean, I think, I think cold. I can't even say, I can't even say, like, really a ton of point. I think it's just really hot or really cold.
That's it. Okay. All right. Hey, that's fair. You know, I'll respect that route that you decided to take in regards to that one.
Now, something that we got to keep in mind, too, is that VKG is going to be playing in this group.
BKG is currently sitting in 19th place with 64 points,
just below Shopify, and they've been consistent,
32 points and 32 points.
And the reason why I'm bringing this up
is because this team are,
in a way the defending champions here at EWC,
in their mind, you think it will look bad upon them
if they don't make it directly to the finals from groups.
Chris, one.
I mean, this is like one of those things
is where we've heard Hal say it,
We've heard zero say it, but like, oh, everybody's yapping.
I just don't want to even listen to them.
They shouldn't even talk, right?
And because one of the biggest pressures,
and one of the reasons why it's pressure, I'll explain it,
is because once you've won something,
and it's just one time, if you haven't had a consistent,
like, have several lands, zero, one back to back lands,
you know, right?
People start questioning, even Hiyarka,
they're like, oh, what's this a fluke?
And it's never a fun pressure to have on you
where you're like, was it just on an off chance?
even heard effects say it about Haku, that, hey man,
our EWC win was a fluke, I definitely don't think so.
Because at some point, you can't say
it's a fluke to qualify for LAN,
go through the whole LAN, make it to finals and match point,
and then close out the game, can't be fluke all the way.
Yeah, absolutely not.
I think sometimes the whole Dynama of if it's a fluke,
it comes from the community and your peers.
I mean, you know, a lot of people that you look up to
that you've watched when tournaments
and they're the ones who are saying,
oh, they didn't deserve it, or oh, it was a fluke win,
And when you start hearing stuff like that,
you start to think to yourself, was it?
But in reality, you have the confidence.
You knew that you could win.
You can't win a tournament without believing
that you can win the tournament.
So at the same time of that happening,
you kind of just have to want to show up and show out again,
especially when VK was their first team in that region
to perform to that standard.
They had been underperforming specifically until then.
And now they've put their region on the map.
And it's very interesting to see how they're going to evolve
and how they're going to bounce back
after having subpar performances.
But two days in a row of 30 points, 30 points,
It's fine in group stages to be in the middle of the pack,
but you have to step up at some point
and show why you were a LAN champion
and why you deserve to be in that finals lobby.
Because with it only being top 14 and set at top 20,
you don't get to cruise through
with consistent top 10s anymore.
There's a little more incentive to it.
And if you are one of them,
and want to put your stamp on this tournament
as we deserve it, we deserve to be here
and show everyone else that they were wrong for it.
This is the time in the final lobby to step up.
Yeah, and I kind of want to like sort of keep
the Apex South thing, but pivot to a different team that is
performing today and that's Wolves. So Wolves, and
especially we're going on to Olympus, right? So we haven't
seen this map before, but statistically Wolves in the Apex
South region, I think it was 87% was most of their points
coming from Olympus and it was an insanity thing. So I feel
like today they should be feeling super comfortable going
into this, playing that sort of style as well. And also
ninjas and pajamas, I believe, did incredibly well on
Olympus 2. And I feel like this sort of, even though we're, you know, I'm yapping on about
going Olympus sucks, Olympus sucks, there's going to be several teams that have actually
prioritized this map that are going to really showcase it. So, you know, ninjas and pyjamas,
especially having such a high percentage on Olympus, you know, they, they might do incredibly
well in these first three games.
Yeah, I mean, we're talking about NIP earlier, right? In regards to where they actually need
to get to you guys said that I think it was just 20 points right because they're currently
sitting with 45 points 20 points to be almost said you're still going to be in the cutoff
area but yeah it's not going to be enough to expect them to get enough points in this
first three games of the series since it is Olympus.
Yeah I mean I think man this is when the gameplay starts changing is if you are down at that
bottom half whether you're the Alliance or the NIP who are in the 34th and 35th positions
here going up or 35 36 or right there at that cutoff it really you don't want to
start slow because that's when the desperation starts setting in and we'll
just we're just gonna have to see what happens here and I think we're I think
we're about to be ready well we're gonna see if NIP can get enough points to
make it to survival stage or if we're gonna be crying at the end of this
series Vicky Tiff what do you guys think is gonna happen with NIP
And I'm seeing Olympus, I was about to hold everybody here hostage, make you guys all
watch my clips, but that's not gonna happen, cuz we got game one, on Olympus, starting
now!
And there we go, immediately dropping into the first map of day 3 of our group series.
Some, the final 6 games they may play here, and of course, kicking things off with ninjas
in pajamas. The best team from the Americas on Olympus,
Bane, Kirev and Cole, they know what it takes
to get the job done and it's just stringing fight by fight
game by game but when you start over here I really do kind of like or be getting
in gardens. Typically a lot of the zones I've seen
end in this vicinity on Olympus and there's plenty of loot to go around to
make quick rotations, get that information or even just kind of
I'll be real here too like just seeing the changes that a little bit has had like throughout the years
It's just been amazing on how they've been able to adapt around the different legends and the passes that we've had included into the game
You talk about movement abilities to and just seeing how a lot of these teams are gonna mount now make their rotation
Into that next zone RQ who do take that TP right through terminal
Heretics were right behind them, and you already mentioned on the outskirts of Saunders University and Grow Towers, VK Gaming Red and Rotating 2.
They have a survey beacon at the top of the fact that Reject are going to be playing on the big wall that would lead you outside of Solar Array.
And it's important to highlight how we've been having crypto banned every single first game, honestly, now, looking back at our other groups.
It's that consistency where you know crypto won't really be the threat for the teams
I do want to roll out with the classic or Watson, but the fighting has now begun
It's VP who have taken up to the high ground. They're looking at our RQ
We're starting to ramp up. It was a little quiet. You know, you got sunglasses on and you're gonna start rotating out
From where VP is situated because there wasn't evil harvester on the north side of solar ray
So teams with a longer Poy like Sentinel's coming out of face driver side
We'll be able to at least rotate and get that as well as the ring console over by terminal. Yeah
You do have the kind of armor differential here
You have two wides and then luckily with easy flash having the benefit of being on caustic and being inside the circle to get an extra buff
But VP definitely benefiting on having the stronger shields will check in the GK off the rip
There's a couple of teams that are running that elusive crypto seer combo only four of them in particular
So to be able to be hyper aggro flat deciding not to actually do that
We're kicking things off with alter mad magic crypto. So aggression in a full form in a different type of way
You know and how those legend cogs are gonna influence the different map pool that we have aside from the fact
They were seeing Olympus for the first time
You also have to remember that we have storm point on the later half of this series even in the later half of the next series
You right so flat
With full white evos
We'll be able to coexist here with a lot of other teams because reject is here and IP is here
So is GK and in the northern buildings that you exit from
Somers is gonna be Gen G VK gaming. There's gonna be a big pile up over by grow towers
So it's gonna be GK do hear a lot of this action
They're gonna be settling down with the classic, but I would want to be a classic with the amount of corptos in this lobby
It's about prior wing how these EMPs are gonna be used to force their way inside some of these buildings as curative
You talk about and I people for it's it
You talk about how they've been able to put in a performance on Olympus alone.
We see a knock here in the feed as we take our looking to try to reset flat.
Also trying to go in to try to take advantage of the 3P here, getting the track also curing it.
And being one of the two to the altar, you do have the recent opportunity with the TP.
And with every legend still on the table this game one, you have to anticipate third parties.
So many teams getting into the next circle within the first two to four minutes.
And even though NIP wants to take that fight onto Reject, who have not been able to pick up that down player,
believe it's your Reese, the flame behind Knockdown from behind the GK, even taking some shots at this.
You can see Reject trying to disengage Kuzhure, the RE45 in hand.
He's already at the purple mag, so being able to throw down Bordle for inside.
But where did they go?
There's a lease of the difference with poor Rupa just trying to stay alive,
but then you have a drone literally chasing you behind your back,
forced to queue away on the raid,
trying to allow Regen to at least have a way better start to this first game.
Can the recovery come in?
It's unfortunate when your crypto player is also one of the players who are out of this fight.
It's a lot easier to try to get a reset when you do have that drone available to you.
So that way you don't have to over-extend it.
Remember how we highlighted Sentinels on their rotate?
Well, they're coming out of solar.
One of the teams who will be able to get that information on the lone player of Regen.
up to see if he does manage to stay alive, but it's a huge pile up still happening in
Somers University. So we see flat also trying to find some trades here, but it's going to
be a lot of these teams. They're trying to find their placement and get in the poke pressure
for the team to get their early rotate so that way they could get those evo shields up.
We'll check back in with the Rufo later from Reject. A lot of success yesterday. Two wins
in group A versus C. They proved they can do it on World Edge. They can do it on Edish.
would love to see a win on Olympus for the trifecta for them.
Back to Unlimit, piece exuvi-lari-man,
a very aggressive fighting team.
He definitely scores some high points here.
They're solidified inside that top 14 in 13th place with 75 points.
So a decent series out of them today
could really have that auto advancement for them to Saturday.
Arufa there in the distance, still trying to get the team back.
Which is important to highlight the teams in this lobby
We want to have that great start.
Setknows, we talked to the fans in the crowd.
We saw them straight mugging and highlighting their stories.
A beautiful journey here.
As they want to have a great start to the day,
they're going to be able to take their time.
Over by Icarus, where they will be able to get
the information on the back end of the ship.
There's a survey beacon ring console,
usually on the back end too.
A limit are also in solar,
and as the ring does close in behind some of these teams back,
it's going to be a big pile up over by Gravity Engine side.
I would love to take a look at how Falcons are going to slow rotate this because they will end up rotating behind Alliance
They were trying to harass Dory who when you talk about one of the teams have been underperforming are in risk of elimination
Truly are I'm keeping tabs on Alliance right now a ring console has just been
Activated for them. So they were able to give information from there. They're gonna dive down further south
They do have Falcons that will be trailing them on the rotation for now
Now the time is okay.
Shopify Rebellion taking space.
You can see that one player is actually out there scouting towards Wolves Esports.
And then you look towards the circle.
You have Reject on the outside of the next zone, but he's still solo.
Orufa has not been able to get the teammates just back with how many teams are
plying just full sending into zone to get their positioning.
It's making things difficult for him to have that regain.
You're right.
Flat, GK, Elite Esports, Elite Esports who have been so
dominant here this week are already
solidified into that next circle.
Just trying to find anything.
It's going to be good, at least when you
have that safety net, right?
And being able to carry some of that performance
into today where a lot of teams are playing
a lot more scared, a lot more reserved.
It's going to be a different pace of play
for the team that are at risk of elimination,
even the likes of like Team Heretics
and how they're going to be able to try to move up here too.
While you take a look at where Heretics is
on the outskirts of the solar you get to see the V-10 now as Wolves also trying to move up.
Destroying that drone does a little scary. It's like someone who does have the fuse.
They're only one shot though and they have been detected by the drone,
dropping down on their head. It's going to be flat. They find two knocks all the way from
two different teams and Kuzer is just going crazy. Thanks to being able to have that boy passage,
you're going to skedaddle inside of this building playing very passively as Wolves Esports are your
first team eliminated in this first game.
And that is fresh off a rotation.
We were just talking about them shortly
therefore the outside of the circle with Shopify Rebellion,
they look for a spot in zone, they get denied.
Not only is flat looking at them,
but it's ninjas and pajamas.
Checking in here with Tina Trope,
who got a win yesterday and were looking really strong,
have found themselves just on the outside.
We were wondering where Dory was going to rotate into
and they are currently at Hammond Labs,
a survey beacon over there for information.
so this rotation is so tough.
You have to carve up that hill, right?
Straight towards Kina Trope.
They're gonna deny that immediately.
So if I'm Dory, we are gonna wrap around
and try to find another angle.
Taking a page into the Kate Bush book too, right?
Have to try and run up that hill.
Now I'm trying to find your way with the weight
that a lot of these teams have congregated over
onto the Southern side of Somers.
It's great to see how consistent Fla has been
in taking these early fights
and always coming out on top of early KTP,
but even better when this is their BLY, right?
They chose Sommers University.
Some teams here, like even DKG, who had prior grow towers
when it came to having Olympus into the map rotation mix.
I'm hearing the lawnmills from a distance.
Thinking here as Team Heretics are trying to run from the other side of Unlimit,
it's going to be Sendos who do up control over the edge of the zone.
Also, Heretics may actually get pinched as Dory now moving up too.
Team that also needs to really go hard because Rejector still down
It looks to be a solo the rate that's not been able to get the reds
No, oh roof I was trying so hard, but you're right at least it is your race player. That is the last solo alive muscle on crypto
Scouting out. Hey, where is he going to be? Where's he escaping to for now?
He lives to see a loser upgrading to blue may not have the teammates, but it's up to blue, but a big fight
Alliance ninja's in pajamas unlucky already has the shields ripped off five seconds needed to get the bat back in place
Lace and I've got here so quick here too as well
But you have to be careful with the amount of alchies in the lobby of hockey's
Does get that swap to
NIP on the outskirts of this building the classic trap cell all eyes to try to bunker down courage trying to take it off angle here on
The wraith himself. He's got the unlimited ammo amp as well
Just trying to pepper in with the R9 is gonna give it a cue away getting a little aggressive
But oh he comes up for the rest of his team or two flat
Trying to take a chunk out of the lines. Everybody is looking at alliance with their safe and sound inside this building
And it's a great look considering their composition too. If you get the reset
Unlucky is buggering down with the caustic and curve was literally one shot
Hole's gonna be able to help them out
They get the quick little evil shield swap just so that way current could also heal up with the med kit better when you have your teammate
That's already fully healed. He's gonna move all the way up, especially when he's on the altar
But alliance they're playing caustic not Watson
and there's no pylon in there to intercept those.
So they will be inundated with arc stars and frags
and we're having to dive throughout,
thus leaving the building straight into NIP.
So much damage, but we are not down yet.
Rijik too eventually get eliminated.
Unfortunately, the Soul Rape player
cannot bring everybody back,
but it's important to take a look at the pile up here
and why Alliance keep getting harassed.
Akunao moves a little bit up before taking ZB back inside.
Thanks to that voice pad, that voice passage,
Dory too. Unlock the gates, they break down the window. One left from Unlimit who had such a great way.
Started out their day just yesterday. Dory, this is even better for Dory. We talk about the team
that is one of the squads that are a risk for elimination. They move up. Unlimit do get eliminated
and Dory already started off nice. While Sentos, by the way, have knocked two.
Awful Falcons hit the back to back. Heretics now looking to gatekeep over onto the western side
of this joke, but there's so many fights happening on the different angles of this next
jump pool. Can Dory escape the ring, the connection there, the final blow, and we are just going
to keep those frags handy. A thermite still in pocket, but we can be patient here. We
have a minute 20 on the clock before we have to rotate in, and there's going to be so many
teams moving from Soma's University into that circle that we could get caught up here.
But Katsu King from Dory trying to hold steady on the seer.
Not many options here.
You have to win the Wulffy Womb, but the chase is inevitable,
and Dory are eliminated.
The fact that Heritage was able to pick that up to two teams
that were very scary going into today, by the way,
Falcons were in a lot of trouble earlier.
Hopefully they can try to get the reason it
looks like from the other side, but it's important to highlight
two.
VP?
BK Gaming.
VP?
And they spot a Shopify now.
VP move up Aussies is able to get the knockout design you and the finishing blow for zap
We don't have Zion you anymore. It's gonna be zap in a phony the duo having alters gonna allows them to take these different
Angles to get back up and here we go
Prestus OZIS taskmaster that's making a full sense. He's getting the information he goes in with the wingman and immediately
disengages
I want to stop making a heck of a play. Oh my god, he's moving
Seth is just him
Off the boy passage dancing with a wingman doesn't even need all the line ammo
When you literally had no man got the or nine now he gets a craper for in this economy
We will absolutely take those we get the reset from Shopify
having the sub coming in and it's nice to be able to see how this team has been
able to regroup together and Lee also in the feed are popping off. I highlighted
Falcons before we have to see what's gonna go on because they were actually
eliminated in 15 so they were unable to fully reset there. Important as this
first games are already gassed and ready with Alliance still alive.
However, Lily getting the next knock, Nemesis getting the trade off, I see
heretics get eliminated next.
So look who's there, it's Alliance!
They show up just for a quick third party.
An infinite ammo, L-Star, can change the tide of battle.
So keep tabs on that.
But Noct can't seem to place the line of sight on who is actually directing the damage towards him.
The EMP, taken to the sky, it's a different form of fireworks while Alliance are playing up the low ground.
Aku has to go back inside, he got beam, loses that on his shield.
K and C now down to a solo, but it's just a group though.
a little bit of a better look here as we see in the ring, Gion, getting knocked.
That's going to be at the hands of Flat.
As you see, Shopify are battling in the nice side by side.
We did see that earlier, but we also saw the feed lighting up before.
That was during the time that Falcons did get eliminated while we did see that fight in the clutch
after VP had fallen.
NIP now moves up.
Kramer and Han, Shopify get eliminated, and so do GK.
We lost out on Sentinels earlier, but for now, Alliance and Flat
Still having to rotate just a bit.
Alliance don't have to go too far,
but Flack will likely have to take this engagement for the,
I think it's the power position, Vicky, honestly.
From this side with every other team
across them in the circle.
And the fact that Vicky Gimingham made this rotate
when they're the first team to prioritize,
Growtile is the first team to prioritize,
a POI on Olympus,
and now finding themselves in this next zone alongside NIP.
But all eyes on Alliance,
Their family is watching and have their face in this squad.
Flap, who now prior to their P.O.I. here alone.
We talked about it a little bit earlier.
You got the Gold Extended Energy Mag,
but you're lacking a little bit on that energy ammo.
As Nanos getting the information, being inside that drone,
trying to look at the teams who are gonna be forced
to rotate on the outskirts like Havoc.
It's a good thing you bring up Havoc.
They've already acquired five kills.
Alliance on the other hand,
they've been timing these fights,
trying to take smart third parties that haven't been able to actually net themselves the kill just yet.
Three placement points for their series, thus far, and the timing.
It's all about taking those engagements that are going to benefit them.
They don't want to be third party here.
They're playing for the win. They're playing for the most points and have it!
Despite having the kills have found themselves in a difficult situation.
Well, 1v1 though, as they're trying to get the reset, the EMP nuts down the barrels.
NIP Cole actually didn't overextend, he heard the res, but looked behind him and leeked.
Now pulling up VK Gaming, all stay alive as NIP come up and clean up Cole.
What's he waiting for?
Graphicy may have missed that favorite shot, but it's fine, he's got the infinite ammo.
VK Gaming, get eliminated.
Taken out in the north, but it's not done because ninjas and pajamas will likely seek to third party
and clear out their side as well.
For Alliance, it's flat, beckoning to them on the other side.
You will be the victor of the south side of the zone, the fight is here and Q's your so much damage, hack is as well.
Unlucky though, maintaining the health we have to heal, but five seconds is what a Shibata Zanano takes the challenge!
Unlucky says I've got this!
Unlucky's like alright, go back into the zone where you belong, that's some of these to Zanano.
We saw the strike with the wrecking ball, as Akku is looking to heal up Alliance, being one of the few teams in this last zone.
They're stacked up though looking at flats, who have put down the boy next to Kino Trope,
hanging off her dear life as a solo, the lone crypto NIP won't be forced to fight against
elite, but it's a 1v1 alliance versus flat. This is important. The perk is louder with the TP.
The L-Star is all off who needs with the pressure. Highlighting in flat is eliminated,
and the lights have cleared the southern side of the zone.
down to the top four and Alliance are on their own ninjas and pajamas elite and
kina trope across the way elite with the high ground and does light have a
favor because curex got one
taking care of those barrels and with the final ring now closing behind them
the skies are congested for crypto drones floating about don't think they're
going to be able to find K&C visible, nothing to see, hiding in the corner next to Alliance.
The 10-IP were holding this angle, trying to look for Alliance, and Elite may actually be the
saving grace if they force this fight against NIP. Just looking at the console, NIP don't even have,
by the way, the altar they work with. They don't have the TP, the recent opportunities,
it's one of the teams with the right instead, the EMP does not ring out, it gets destroyed right
beforehand. They're shooting at the barrels creating the space. They can't... Oh no! What
was that? Oh, Nade? It's gone here for Kira's last three squads now. It's Alliance,
Elite, but it's NIP looking at Elite first. And Elite had the high ground for NIP. There goes
the portal. Kira trying to make a vital play, and around Alliance they go. Henchman has to heal.
And Elite seemed to be waiting this fight out. It's just down to unlucky. He's playing
You know the Rosie waiting very last minute dancing around the ball before I've got limited in third
It's elite versus NIP at the lead with the consistency get the first dog in our first game
Elite e-sports have been looking so dominant
But it's the Alliance fans who are so proud of the boys
33rd place coming into the series
Knowing that if they falter just a few placements they will be eliminated and that task is tall.
But to get three kills in third place, you're double digit points.
Game by game, Vicky, is all it takes.
That's what you like to see when you know that you've been fragging out for the last
two days and you start off strong in what may be the last day that some of these teams
play an elite letting the world know why they are elite and talking about the
P.O.I. that they had to traverse through to on Olympus coming at a bonsai being
able to find that spot and being able to fight your way through but it was really
NIP who would try to fully send it onto Alliance Curved who would take in that
off angle just open the gates for elite to shine and coming in with a great
timing on a 3p
at a moment to just cool down after a dynamic game if they were already at a
138 points. They were already at the top of the group stage. They won C versus D. They
dominated A versus C. Like, now when we look towards this series, this is where that end
game began. Elite had this high ground with NIP just below them.
I know some of these highlights too. Alliance staying alive at the very end who try to fight
their way into the zone. They did get 3KP, but Elite were farming, taking those points
away from a lot of our teams.
Believe what?
Wasn't it like kind of birthday the other day, this young gun legend himself, coming
together with henchmen and light, light getting 6KP alone.
Crazy to see how this team is so cohesive and following up with one another.
I was trying to remember where they actually started because when you think about where
they went into that, they land at Banzai Plaza.
So not too far of a rotation, but they walk through it. They grab 12 kills, which is insane
Like a 24 point game to start things off. Okay, like are we trying to breach 200 points at the group stages?
I see what we're doing with that average ninjas and pajamas though
So many people back into the question. Could they do it?
Could they turn it around the best team from America's on Olympus and they answer back the questions that we asked
They're like, yeah, we will show you right 16 points
However, you jump to the back half, team heretics.
They need to do well also.
They came into the series in 31st.
They do take some solid fights on gatekeeping to grab five points.
Curtis Crow and Falcons acquiring a couple kills, but it's unlimited.
Reject.
Reject looks so good yesterday.
Not the best start for them, but that's okay because there's still five more games
in this series.
And the fact that we have still game number two moving on to Olympus, it goes back to
the stats that we were highlighting.
with NIB being one of the best Olympus teams in America.
They score average, like, a total of 151 points
and 42% of that being Olympus.
And then you look at what Elite just put on
as a masterclass performance.
They've averaged 11 1⁄2 or so points per game.
Now you start things off with 24 total points
for this first game of the day in the dub
and the double-digit KP.
It's a great look here,
but it's an even better look for those
who now could find some breathing room
room to build up this momentum. If you've had a rough first two days, now we get a little
bit of a change up in our map series starting off with Olympus. And if you weren't able
to have that advantage in the pro league, this is the time because now you don't really
want to face off in that survivor stage, right? You don't want to be obviously one of the teams
in that lower six, but it's also trying to take control, having your own fate in your
own hands instead of watching that last series play out where some of these teams may overtake
you. Yeah, definitely. I mean, we start thinking about game number two in general. We did see that crypto ban. Typically we get a seer ban in game number two, but we have been seeing some changes here on land teams that perform well as we look at our damage dealers. This is exactly what you want to do. You've got your six kills there, your seven across the board there for NIP. And you just kind of keep on moving through elite eSports with that 12 showing the damage. They had 1900 damage.
damage differential, dealing 3700 damage, taking 1800.
Ninjas and pajamas though, I'm going to go ahead and say almost the top damage dealers
in the lobby that actually goes to flat by just 5 more damage.
It was that close.
It's amazing on them just real quick to make sure they get to overtake them and just the
damage output here, but it's been a great game number one.
We still got some more Olympus action and that's coming to you on the other side of this brick.
Welcome back everybody this is the ALGS we are here in Paris and we just closed off game
number one with Elite Esports taking it with 12KP.
Insane start here, but no surprise tip as a leap continued to put on a masterclass
They're doing exactly what we expected for them in this group matchup and to be fair
You can't count against them at all based on their historic performances on land here in Paris
I guess it's just that European buff over here for them ninjas and pajamas though nice showing to get that second place because once you start
Office series like that you feel really solid for Havoc who was on your screen just moments ago
They were one of the teams that had found themselves in the bottom six and while they were able to acquire five kills and eight points
That is a start that if you do that, you know for six games
You're over 40 points is what we've been asking for ninjas of pajamas likely going to be able to that
It would be their best series of the week thus far for group stages
They had an 18 point series in day one a
27 point series in day two and the fact that we're already situated with 16 points in one game. Yeah, we're looking up
a little bit of a ramp up at
the start of today, making sure
you get your snaggies in here
for a player. So lock and load
into game number two. I like the
vibes here in the venue. I love
hearing the crowd giving these
players are energy elite though.
It's just another day at work for
this squad. We talk about the
young legend kind of together
with henchmen and light and I
just love to see how these three
players have been able to show
that consistency across so many
just waving at the monitor as if like someone could see me waving. He's like waving and I'm just like,
hi, like what? Who am I? No, but we did get to hear from Kinda at the end of the day yesterday
after their series and he was talking specifically about light and how light can just put them in
these positions and allow everyone to just focus on their role, isolate the fights one at a time,
and they're just finding so much success. It's all about trust within the teammate and clearly it is working.
it. Going into game number two, though, we saw that Olympus zone pull over to somers.
Flatware feet seem to be in POIs and BKG are so quick on the rotate as they do Brio Olympus
over on their POI of Bro Towers. Seeing how some of these zones have ended up shifting
all around Olympus, though, it's very telegraphic when you go over onto E district, I feel like,
but it's kind of like those whip lashing pools that we have seen on World's Edge where
a lot of these teams have the ability to coexist and as we've highlighted at the very start of game number one
No more crypto crypto has been the first legend always banned after game number one
And it kind of follows suit to to what you were talking to me a little bit on in the green room on how scrims have been playing out for these
Teams yeah, I mean we see a lot of the we only had four crypto see your combos in the first match and obviously with crypto being out
It's the teams that typically like to play the same legend throughout and kind of just run it down
We had some Watson's obviously we've got some caustics and obviously with crypto being out
We will see some different changes here for that being alter was 11 and caustic 10th a couple of four
Four race in the lobby, so we'll see what people lock in as we get ready to get into game number two
Game number two and the dropships are zooming by guys welcome back to Olympus
To find out what our next legend man is gonna look like here. There's been a lot of seer
And it's a prior on a lot of these rotates too, right?
We get the double attack.
They get to worry about when it comes to Seer in general,
getting that scan and information.
But this is actually insane.
If this is going to be a similar zone pool,
imagine those teams who are so quick on the rotate
to find that success.
As the crowd is cheering, we're ready to go.
We take a look at our game one winners, Elites.
They will be able to move on from Banzai.
Elite eSports clearing out bonsai for the goods.
They have a survey beacon and with kinder running seer,
he should be able to grab that information,
see immediately where the majority of our teams
are starting to move.
And with a relatively similar circle
to what we just had.
You know, I get it.
I see ninjas and pajamas.
I see why you picked up there.
You just gotta dive on down.
Why Olympus is your best map.
This all makes sense.
It's consistency, okay?
For flat hailing from summers, look at GK.
They're gonna be like, yeah,
we know exactly where we need to play from
and we need to be even faster.
I'm not going to lie, this is insane.
This is so important.
It's just like that.
You know, it's like a, a, a redacted another chance
at trying to take those initial fights mid game, right?
It's like, we know where we need to play from.
We literally just did this.
Now we just have to stay alive on that initial fight with flat.
But, but imagine being Falcons though, like you gotta,
you gotta start the triathlon, man.
You gotta start booking it because it's gonna be
quite a journey here for Falcons.
They make it into basically the same zone
that we had seen in game number one.
but hey, all the benefit to the teams that want to come out on top in this day of group stages,
the teams that, you know, have had a slow start and IPA being one of them are going to feast.
Same thing is flat because the conversation remains the same since this is their POI.
Same thing for DKG who've already moved away from growth towers,
was a ring console and a survey beacon.
So a lot of these teams not only getting away with this quick rotate,
but now trying to mid-backs on what they know they have to do differently.
From game number one on their rotate to now game number two in a fairly similar zone.
In a way, he pops a survey beacon and immediately pings them, he's like, he is so close because of course
they are going to witness Shopify grabbing that survey beacon, so Havoc is disengaging, they're like, no,
we don't want anything to do with the fight this early on, they had five kills in map number one, we're playing the long game.
Pains coming in too.
Avok now start moving up there right alongside Gen G. You can hear the Pains getting closer
here to playing on the outskirts off-sommers while Shopify are also going to be able to
get the same ring console and where that zone pool is.
Alliance are already doing a different rotate though after what we saw for the last game
but it's going to be looking at flat, can they end up getting the early KP in the first
team to get that early KP in a lot of these lobbies.
We saw a play out in game number one.
They see a team landing right in front of them.
It's just about boosting up these Evo shields
since this is their POY.
It's not like they're going to be able to have the side
crossing that a lot of other teams do
when it comes to the Evo harvesters.
With the amount of Sears though in this lobby,
this is kind of what we were expecting.
Sear is the next legend band with 80% of those lobbies here.
That's falling in the order in which I thought we would see.
So for now, flat, playing from the back of Sommers.
A couple teams you mentioned, Burgess Pro, Sentinels, GK on the horizon,
Fun hanging on with at least 20-inch B there.
But for now, no real siege.
See your tactics being performed.
At least you do have the exhibit in the back pocket, should you need to pull it out.
I mean, teams like Alipha, the way that they were able to convert on this win
this win and playing a little split on Icarus. You can see that one player getting that ring console.
You can see the exhibit called into letting everybody know about the fight happening
on the back end of Summers. Shuffle Firebellion together with Phony sitting once again alongside
Zynu getting a little bit of deja vu here. Well, Chris, that's the information. Oh my goodness,
what a beautiful angle. Off of the hemlock here. He's got the blue mag in hand. R9 is the secondary
here, but it's just about getting the heartbeat center to see where these players are finding
themselves right below M.I.P.'s feet.
It's trying to harass him.
He's only 120 away from getting that blue ego.
Harassing and peppering in another team from afar.
Team Nemesis playing on that back end as there's still a lot of teams with the altar, but even
more with the Valkyrie for some of these heresies.
Desmond receives that now, getting the knock off the R.E.45 that has continuously been
a problem in a lot of these lobbies.
Lever pros were walking out with these wood different weapons compositions a set nose also are finding these nuts onto VP
There we are with the stun
Just seconds to go and IP though
They're literally on white and I do want to note that cure of did move off the rate
He's locked in the seer vein is going to be playing rate for NIP this game and
for a Rufa and
Reject wanting to finish this fight with VKG
They've already gotten Casa down Casa out and behind the new castle wall. We have situated ourselves
But they have it quite found the opening they want for the remaining duo
You see the pink students can be a little risky sometimes I mean when you're not walking out on the cost
That's why you're seeing a lot of these wads and some bunker down instead
Said goodbye to crypto in game number one a DKG even trying a little something different
They had rolled out with the Newcastle, Balfrey, and the Rampart, but they lost out on that
Rampart earlier.
I like what I'm seeing from Dory, and here's the deal.
Last time they rotated down and through the west, and we got caught mid-map as we headed
over towards Somers University.
Prakatsuki, Muscle, and Yurimune, they are making their pathway towards the eastern side
now.
They're being a little more hesitant about it, and there's for good reason.
The Falcons are still up in the north.
There is a survey beacon here that they'd like to get access to, as well as a ring console.
So knowing that they're going to be able to scan both Dory has to get info has to run Alliance nabbing and ring console of their own up by clinic
And it's like kind of like a different basin right that alliance saw what happened in the last game now
Trying to take a different angle still rotating from the northern side of the zone
Which I do really like because once you go into grow towers like we saw earlier with Shopify's rotate
You get the survey you get the ring console and you try to get keep some of these teams who could find themselves flip
I mean like that one player of keto trope who wanted to prior getting the evil harvester they will get away with it for now
But alliance already going in as a full unit rotating in from the northern side
Genji will eventually be waiting for them and other teams taking to the skies. I think I hear the
Falcons now coming in right above Dory's head could be an inevitable fight on the outskirts of the zone
We have to see how that's gonna go down over by clinic is
Now the side-by-side we see KSH
They're not really involved here. They're just going to be able to bunker down take control of
Those deathboxes at their feet, but this is the fight that I wanted to see here
It's gonna be Dory versus Falcons Falcons stuck on the inside of zone muscles
Just trying to climb up on it how muscle though. He ain't got it as how
Beams him with the car Dory now don't you they get a little bit of revenge onto how the waltzy is still alive
You'll it's forced to heal up temporarily, but it's still gonna be how who comes right back around Dory
Dory, who's an unmuscled finally here.
It's gonna be the finishing blow.
It's so waltzy.
Gild is able to pop the shield back right on time.
Hemlock and Nade, ready to go
before it's just a matter of time as Dory
are the first and rather second squad in this lobby
to go out.
Falcons pick up on that KP.
We hinted on that fight, the moment we saw Dory
try to take it to Falcons coming out of Gardens.
VKG was taken out earlier by Havoc
and now unlimited in team heretics.
Face off, exhibits expended, it coasts a glass cannon, a Long V, looking for the angle, trying to swing onto Exuzi,
trying to destroy their own exhibit, but it arcs our neighbouring, we must go through the portal,
and unlimited the Lari-Man trying to cover that distance, recharging on the breach mode.
Stale mate for now, just looking for the opening to get closer.
Trying to play patiently with the ring now closing in right behind the new Laurie man.
Yeah, so we talk about the hemlock is able to drop down way off the cliff side.
Holding us against the building before trying to take away and the way the axle has been utilized.
It's kind of like that left field legend pick two for some of these teams.
Can we get the scan on to the parade before moving back?
You have the heavy MLR, so it'll turn to boost up that hemlock while Team Heretics being one
of those teams here to try to replicate their performance in game number one now start moving
up on the other side of a limit.
Brief check in there with BKG likely talking about the game plan for the final map three
on Olympus while they sit and watch how this game plays out.
For the Alliance fans in the lobby
They're starting to get closer towards that next circle
They're staying relatively
Uncondested as you see their fort here the pylon down the fences up the arsenal to upgrade the R9
And when you see a gold bag in an R9, you know, he's ready to let it rip
Oh Christmas came early. That's how I was like to see it if you're on limit still trailing right behind there
Airtakes though, actually trying to find an opportunity to see if they could pinch them because Kino took a wave for them in the middle buildings that overlooked that choke.
And now all trailing behind are limited. This fight has been going on for quite a bit here and with peace being on the fuse, he's woken up after taking his nap earlier in the camps.
Long-blowing car here is he's going to be able to try to take a different angle, but thankfully with the ulcer, they're actually going to be able to TP.
With that boy passage, get right back up to the high ground with 15 seconds left, everyone needs to start moving.
Heretic though, in a lot of trouble now down to a solo that is Young's.
He stands in the exhibit, looks behind him and makes sure that Unlimit is not trying to grief him,
but gives Heretic toes a bit of time to reset.
I love that Unlimit just said, no, this is not the rotation we need with the time.
It's Team Heretic's looking for a death box recovery along with him to get back in.
It's Keena Trope that has moved up outside of the ring to deny Team Heretic's any space.
And it's vital for Team Heretic's survival in the tournament.
They were in 31st coming into this, and need as many points as they can get.
Time is of the essence now.
With five games left to go, two more on Olympus.
Heretic's now move in from the northern side, coming out of the choke.
KinoTrip have not left from their position, but Alliance do find themselves in that next zone.
You could assume that, you know, coming out of Grote Towers would probably get that ring.
We'll also see where that zone pool is.
And are gonna be able to pry out getting that light arsenal themselves or our cue are painting the floor with these wads and fences
Trying to land some of these favors shots no limited ammo
Six still in the reserve now
I see just trying to take a different angle playing off the rock
Jen to just to help them out and that would definitely come in clutch if you have to deal with the likes of maybe even unlimited
Who's all that you do it? I think it's just a smidge windy over there. I
Just want to see and let it rip
They're just keeping up pressure.
They have no space.
RRQ are in such a great spot inside that circle set up as well for VP.
Well, they'd like to get there.
So knowing that they're dropping up on the back, elite esports just to the south of them,
RRQ ahead, the pressure is being put down onto them.
And so Zeus behind the knockdown is the last for Pricy working towards those angles.
Zerkewing and Burdus Pro will not live to see another fight in map 2.
And VP out in 17th RRQ gonna be able to pick that one up and it is a different zone pool
by the way.
And that's it.
The Sentos get eliminated and Nemesis are feasting.
The Sentos are going down in 16th, Nemesis will absolutely take those 3KP in sacred's
pocket.
outside young legends in this lobby. I mean, it's typical to not even mention
sacred who keeps putting on a performance scene. Heretics now, by the way, after getting the full
wrestling ends have moved up and it's still unlimited. Who face off against them from the
other side of the choke? Hey, they're just delaying the inevitable. They're bound to meet here
on the outside. Only one team can advance onto the circle from this location. And if I'm team
I do not want to move through them, but instead we choose our passing.
Gen G on the other side, a quick check from Coast up to the border we go, and the battle is on.
They take down Asia, Dexter from behind, they'll keep your eye on the battle.
Dexter's not sliding in though, and now the last one alive for this team.
Team Heretic's time and time have picked up two of the heads of Gen G.
Exhibit no problem right behind them because Yanzi's feeling himself Genji get eliminated as Yanzi now in some trouble because RC have shown up axis.
Gonna be able to find that knock right afterwards.
My team heritage now will be able to get the reset considering they got the altar, they got the void nexus too.
Gonna get the finishing blow here with a lot more of these teams even like Wolfs were now skedaddling into that next zone pool.
They know exactly who it is going to be, but they have to be careful playing there very early.
Because Regid could look at them as a limit now, continue to harass the RRQ.
I want a rogue guy out on an axle, you lorry man, doing a ton of damage alongside Xuvy.
They're kind of setting up these pinch plays as they eliminate RRQ for the most part.
But there's a solo still in the circle, drill trying to survive.
But we are deep in it with Wolves Esports who have now moved in.
It's pricey with a Craver trying to hold steady as havoc has fallen.
We have no cover. We have a rubber tree and a little rock and a rock and a tree.
I mean like a little thing with a prong? Can't see a thing. Can't hit me.
Just hit a little bouncy bounce.
You know when you're trying to do this in your own game, you're like na na na. You're bad, you're bad, you're bad.
No, no, no. Okay, come on.
Actually get away! No way! No way!
All right, he's done. He's done. All right. We tried.
They were so tired of it, but the fact that he had to leave the position just to get this.
They're like, no, no, no.
He was shmoving. He can't get away with this.
Nah, he was shmoving. All right.
Got a definitely supposed to spot in my heart here, RRQ now.
Out of here, out of this lobby, Falcons though,
their wings have not been clipped as they're looking on onto NIP.
Dude, they've just done so much damage. Oh my gosh, damn it.
Yeah, it really do be like that.
Here I've down the res coming through immediately vain a wingman in hand with a rates best friend
You're gonna have to try and stave off that push because the Falcons are healthy in this fight
Lot better but time here for Falcons while now alliance are holding on to pride rocker
That's probably building here overlooking the action that they're not involved with at their feet
You cast a walls for all allies with their family cheering them on in the crowd
This is going to be a tough one for them though.
They are literally in the congested spot of the map.
Yes, they have Hydra, but you have Team Nemesis,
Shopify Rebellion, and the Falcons all at your feet.
You are looking at all of these teams with Ninjas and Pajamas just across from them.
Falcons with Hal on Valk, take to the sky, and where do they decide to go?
I mean, the fact that you're Valk back into it,
you get back into the action to send up the missile swarm,
They're trying to get the drive-by here, as Gil follows up the fine phony, it's a trade-up though, as Zep gets the double knock, Falcons get eliminated, they try to take that fight, and they pay for it, while Karebs is popping off too much, all the nemesis, they're eliminated next, I see the paper in the speed 2, as Elite now too, but before Karebs is just Bill different, Elite get eliminated, he's looking right behind in the last one of life, here, from the other side of our scene now.
It's Reject, who immediately try to take shots at the NIP.
We are into the top five because of the collapse.
Yuris, Kramer, and hit 150.
He escapes.
Welcome back to the legend, Yuris, who's been doing so well.
Reject then moved up with five squads left.
After they were able to find that knock onto Vayne,
but they have control over this limp.
Kura, look at his HP, by the way,
until they finally get eliminated.
It was like a pixel of health.
Good timing on the bub.
Good timing on the bub.
We lose out on ninjas and pajamas.
Offscreen at the hands of Unlimit.
You have Kena Trope, Unlimit.
Wolves Esports, is this the combat game they needed?
Kena Trope.
Wolves took a position early into the game.
On the other side, the west side.
Kena Trope, their neighbor.
Trying to hold steady behind the new castle wall.
Hearing those hemlock tracks is like giving them a hair cut.
Holding up her dear life right behind the Newcastle walls with four squads left though.
Wex is gonna be forced to pop the shield bat, no name looking on.
Goldablo, by the way, but he doesn't have a lot of heavy ammo.
Having to be careful to creep it.
Tears in his eyes now dropping the meds that he may need.
He doesn't have a med kit left after that one.
Only one shield bat.
You see the fence line right in front of him, but there's literally what these four teams left in this lobby tip.
meaning you're holding each angle of this end zone.
And it's all about resource management.
Having that extra wall,
so knowing that once you have to move,
you can re-slam it down and intercept those grenades,
but reject, face the brunt of the pressure
across the way as unlimited swings on them.
Oh, hey, this guys, they go thanks to Axl,
you lorry man, being such a menace here,
as wolves get sent.
Holding in with the drone as wolves.
Inside the zone two, Kino Troke get eliminated.
Last three scores and it's a limit.
Facing down against Wolf, reach up to the end of the corner,
but a limit now moved on.
The knuckle blast!
That's the best position here.
That pylon saves them, but everyone is focusing
straight onto the wolves.
Laurie Mann now goes looking on the other side
as Axel was to be his farming.
It's just a matter of time as a limit
are your game two winners.
Nobody to dethrone the kings who hail from the mighty jungle on limit. They clutch it here for game number two
He's really woke up that game. We saw him napping before
And said nah, I'm awake just watch seven kills for that team and 19 point game
5700 damage they were already inside the top 14
But just barely and a performance like that can cement you into the finals on Saturday
They just need a few more we need more points. I love how consistent they've been can we talk about the bug
They put in like almost 6k damage
Pro is just running around playing ranked on axel
Actually
Oh my goodness some axle action. We talked about the team to actually end up using like those unorthodox compositions right going into Olympus
And I get a little bit of PTSD
When you see the influence of actual year-old respect the grand games and a limit is here to convert it
Into a win to be in the best spot possible
To clean up the rest of the KP from the remaining squads who are neighboring each other by the way in that final zone at every angle of that zone
Such a good performance. Love checking in with the Wolves.
10 points for them. A turnaround performance because when you think about their journey here this week,
they started out so incredibly strong. 47 points in their first series.
10 points in their second. That's what we're showing. It's a roller coaster, right?
But for the Wolves, just alone in match two to grab 10 points, is this the turnaround they needed in the group stages here?
Can it be enough?
It's the start.
I mean, you know what is a start at least?
It's the way that we're seeing Alliance
and their rotate in two zones like this.
It was a crazy pull.
Not so similar
to the first game's zone, and it kind of
threw off a lot of these other teams here,
but the way that Unlimit
was able to not only hold the high ground,
they played their cop to their advantage.
I would not want to be the teams
who are looking up at the umbrella that
is unlimited here. Sooty was just farming them. I mean, Newcastle, no problem. It's not like you're
going to drop here as a limit. Patiently able to take game number two with a nice little pop-off.
And the celebrations go wild. The momentum that you need to carry on throughout our series.
I do want to give a shout out to Team Nemesis as we pull up our match results. Seventh place
over on their finish right but they had 11 kills 14 total points in that game
just behind elite e-sports who walk away with nine ninjas of pajamas find
themselves another 10 reject 13 like we are seeing a few teams in the double
digits and that's consistency that we need for them especially if you were on
the cusp of elimination today alliance short four points and our RQ could not
to defend that God's but that would have been so nice with them.
It was such a good spot in the game just slightly too early.
A little bit here too.
And while our pros are getting ready for game number three,
I'm hearing that Snipedown's got a guest with them.
Let's take it over to Snipedown.
Hey, Snipedown.
I got a guest with me.
Hi, guys.
I'm Rayday.
It's great to meet you.
Great to meet you.
Well, either way, we're together.
Snipedown and Rayday here to do a little mid-match recap.
We talk about this in the green room all the talent sit back watch the games
We thought why not bring some analysis mid game just so you guys can know what we're thinking first off elite
Number one story number one place. It's again and again and again. I couldn't believe it
Can you believe how well this seems to play? Honestly? I I know how good they are graceful has been just hyping them up the entire time
They even to called him out yesterday
But I mean I think elite is elite
I mean they're continuing their dominance from yesterday and I think one of the craziest things about them is that it doesn't matter
What the team comp is they're not just winning at the start of series
They're also winning at the end of series
Which means that they have a plethora of characters and team comps that they are comfortable with and that is a deadly combo
Heading into this and continuing with how they're doing they seem to be the most comfortable team at this land
As of now there's still a lot of land to be played though teams will be going home and speaking of two teams who were on the bubble
Two of our top teams coming into this number one seed in North America and then one of our top three seeds in
EMEA Alliance they were almost out starting today, but they've gotten some early wins
How do you feel about alliance getting some points on the board early in the confidence that could mean for a very passionate fanbase?
Yeah, I mean we knew when Hawkins took that interview
I mean you don't take an interview when you're doing poorly if you don't have full confidence in your team
So I think for them and NIP we talked about it when we were on the desk earlier is you know
These are some of the best teams in the world no doubt about it
So for them to be as far as they were down at the bottom of the leaderboard and to have as strong of a game one as they did,
the worst thing would have been for it to be in games 4, 5, and 6 and be like,
okay, now we need to drop this because then you have to change your play styles.
But to come out in that game one to be both NIP and Alliance as 2 and 3
and getting those 10 plus points to secure, like at least a little bit of a buffer in the rest of the series is huge, it's important.
And it's interesting to see that even in that game two, even though we ended right around the same spot,
completely different teams who ended up in the end game.
So it wasn't as consistent, but for them to start off strong,
absolutely massive.
I expect them both to continue.
Don't want to forget somebody.
I know we had Kena Trope in there.
We had Reject.
We had RCA.
I believe we had Unlimit in that final zone.
Four teams.
We had Wolves as well.
That might have been the fourth team, not Reject.
Four APAC teams in that final zone.
However, fifth place was in IP.
So they seem to keep climbing up.
This bodes well if you are a fan of an IP and a Lyon.
However, APAC, we cannot forget about them.
Snipe, they are a team.
APAC's out there is defending this EWC.
VK Gaming still have a chance not only to make it in,
but they have a chance to have one of their representatives
place the trophy yet again.
Yeah, I mean, honestly, I've been waiting for the Wolves
in their limits, especially a limit
to get that first big win.
We talk about how dominant Ulaariman is.
We have a lot of people, even NIP Cole,
talking about how he's a top three player in the game
and controller player.
And honestly, I mean, it's good to see that.
And we'll see if the momentum continues
and it's nice to see a basically a full end game
with eight back teams.
Thanks for the green room chat.
Appreciate it.
And I hope the fans at home enjoyed your analysis.
Also, Casters probably enjoyed a little bit of a break.
We're going to send it right back up to the Caster booth, though.
Let's be having another game on the way.
Thank you so much, you lovely gents.
Rain day and snipe down.
Bring it to us nice on how the eight-back teams are performing
this far.
And just looking at a final zone like that is Chef's Kiss.
As we are now down two games off of Olympus,
one more to go before we transcend on storm
points to wrap this series up.
And what's on the line here for the teams
that want to be able to find that cushion,
kind of have their own fate in their own hands
before we see what the next set of groups will provide to us.
Just to highlight the stakes here, everybody,
the bottom six teams will be going home after today.
And for the remaining teams here, you have to imagine,
the top 14 will be able to move on to that final round
for our final lobby while the remaining teams
will have to play through a survivor stage.
A lot of the line here as we take a look
their overall rankings will
elites continuously putting on a master class.
They are just climbing. They started the series in 13th.
We've moved up to 7th, so we're just kind of
continuously moving. Reject feeling comfy as well.
Elite was up there.
You move on over to Team Nemesis in 20th now.
They'll probably lock in the survival
stage, but if they keep going and throw down
an explosive series, who knows?
Maybe top 14.
Teams that are also still on the up and up Wolves
e-sports. Alliance now in
26th on the overall ranking.
Mind you, we're trying to stay out of the bottom 36.
So teams that are in our lobby that are facing
that contention right now is Dory.
And now we did talk about the fact that Dory
did have their coach muscle step in for them to play a show
was unable to travel here and compete on the stage.
But the Unlimit fans, man,
they're feeling pretty good after that win.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, Unlimit, man.
I love the fans that we've been seeing and traveling
from all around the world.
Unlimit being one of those teams.
I mean, when you find yourself in the top 10,
you want to be able to keep this going,
especially if you want to find yourselves in that final lobby
without having to play an extra set of games.
It's a little bit of a different look to
in terms of our land route set,
where in the Survivor stage,
we will have a total of 10 games.
I'm sorry.
That'd be for real.
Yeah, I was gonna say,
like I feel like that's what I look like when I wake up.
Why?
He's playing next, he's locked in.
Is he an M&K player, you think?
No, he definitely looks like a roller.
I play in the case like what do I look like you look like you're locked in
She's not gonna kick me out guys. Oh my goodness
But it's interesting to see how we get the double back-to-back southern zone pool on Olympus
Just kind of breaking that down and what it means for the teams like
How kids we have to literally go from the opposite end all the way north of Olympus
Down to summers and how difficult it could be when it comes to some of these rotates
especially when these zone pools end up giving whiplash completely shifting over into, you know,
whether it be on the left side of the zone here or even continuously pulling on the outskirts of
summers like we saw in game number one. And there we go. Deep Cross Gaming Roy, PXX PETA,
and of course some Wolves supporters as well. As we take a look at our overview of all of our
teams getting ready to be locked in, reject inside the top 14, sentinels who haven't
necessarily had the strongest start to our series just yet, but when has that ever stopped them?
I mean there are ALGAs chance for a reason from Sephora, so I'm not worried for ninjas and pajamas
who acquire the majority of their points on Olympus 12. They have 26 thus far, so we're doing
really good and that 26 points will throw them so far up out of that 34th position they have,
because when I look at it, if you have 26 points after two games, you know their series,
they already beat their first day series, it was 18 points. We're about to best the day two series,
because that was 27-0, and that was just in two matches.
Oof.
You know, I actually want to go back to what you were
highlighting on Sentinels, too, and how their slow start so far
on Olympus as we are getting ready to dive into our last game
on Olympus, everybody.
Game number three, when you talk about our former world
champion, Sentinels, who currently are on the cusp
of making it into that finals lobby.
And that is what this team is playing for.
now having to play through a gallon of 10 extra games in the survivor stage.
I mean, it's in the name alone, everybody, for what our players are moving forward to
in this final game on Olympus.
And a brief moment before we dive into that final game.
All the teams that are on that comeback story, team Nemesis Alliance,
just carving their path, ninjas and pajamas.
the apex podcast boys Don that literally sent me that message and said ninjas and pajamas are on top today, but
I know you're watching. I know you're watching shout out to all of our watch parties across the world tuning into the ALGS split one playoff
The key WC 226. We are so happy to have you here. You're locking into the player POVs. You're listening to the comms
You know wig and greaker out there. We have order acts
We have our community streamers that are up here the French order X who is always watch partying for the ALGS
Here to support all of the teams and ninjas and pajamas whole who's like so strong in our first two maps
There is no party like an apex land party as I always say to AOGS
With everybody watching from all around the world are froze already to impress you
Let's dive into game number three officially guys and it looks like it's going to be a different zone pool this time around
which can actually benefit.
Ayo.
The likes of Lions and Falcons are going to see how these rotates work out for our Northern
POI squads.
But we got a first look at how unlimited going from the other side of Olympus from Hydroponics
are going to be moving in to where it looks like it's going to be gardens.
Same same but different.
Didn't I just say ninjas in the job of the gardens having that on Olympus?
I was like, you know, this is one of my favorite places to be because so many circles tend
to end in this quadrant of Olympus to start off there.
Look, you're just giving yourself all the tools and for them having
there's a survey beacon over in gardens as well.
And you like to see that but bye bye seer.
So if you don't have a recon legend that has the ability to grab it,
we will see how that goes.
Shopify Rebellion though on one of the quickest rotations
I've seen in a hot minute for them just above two and a half minutes
in Wolves Esports through the rift we go to harm to the north side.
Now, the interesting part for me is Elysium with Team Nemesis.
That are really great first two games so far,
with all the teams moving in this early,
knowing that they're going to have to defend.
Now, while we take a look at some of these teams
you highlighted at NIP, being one of those squads
who are looking to ramp up for today on top of Shopify,
let's jump into a listen-in with NIP
as a hill from above onto Shopify.
Careful careful careful careful
Move come on
Hopefully he fucked man
Are you gonna take the fucking armor?
He gave me a finish
I mean everything is shit here
You gotta be really careful
Yeah man I didn't really take the boss
I mean it's when the red tide isn't
It's kinda shit
So that's where you're gonna go
Yeah
Well I think that seemed rough
By the way we're getting shot entirely here
Hmm, I'm here
Fighting
I'm with you. I'm just looking. No, no, you should go on with you. There's a party. They might take it back
Someone has to fucking I'm not playing over there by myself. I'm gonna play in this joke and watch this joke
Yes
a team of many words when we first tuned into the listen in here but you know
with them trying to make their next move and now already trying to close in the
gap here you see vain being on that race the Watson fences right in front of
them already four to five different teams piled up in gardens alone while
teams like Gen G and flat are facing off by clinic to RC though aren't gonna be
giving up this spot and that's that coexistence with the warden Maggie
herself somebody get laced because we're gonna be saying goodbye to mad Maggie after this game
Yeah, I know as we were looking at ninjas and pajamas
It was you know cure of playing that seer seer being banned locks into the mad Maggie leaving vain on Wraith
We tune in to the remnants of the Gen G versus flat fight and all three of Gen G members still up for now
And I curse the trades coming in nano down as well as ziki so a 2v2 situation
situation we immediately cryo pulling up nano from the ground excuse you're being chased by dexter
Okay, okay
Me Genji Esports. See you later. We love it. You love it when you got the purple mag here, too
He says a salamista getting that next log Genji are now out of this lobby first team out
In our last game on a limp is before we move on over to storm point and
And taking a little zoom out, giving me some whiplash.
Falcons now starting to rotate here onto gravity engine
and right behind them is the Mekino trope.
No team though, waiting for Falcons up on the high ground
by the staircase when you go out of gardens.
But with the action that we saw earlier from NIP,
we know that there's a very big pilot
from the early rotating teams
already finding their real estate in gardens.
True.
And I'm not too worried the Falcons
only having seven points thus far in the series.
The majority of their scoreline
has come from world's edge and storm point.
And when we move over to Stormpoint later on,
I'd imagine that they're going to kind of ramp up
onto the standings.
But for now, turning it around with a 10-point game
and some good early fights would be nice for them.
It's just difficult because they've been starting
in stabilizer and making a rotate all the way
into the already packed Eastern side of things.
For now, from Gravity, we're waiting for that ring console
to just really dictate where we need to play from.
A wrong decision will be costly on that final pop.
So that's gonna be scary when you know you have very little room for air now that we're basically at this halfway point, right?
If and now you see teams like Dory who take their time going in from Rick while
Waiting out for our RQ. They're looking down at Shopify who have not moved by the way from this low ground spot
The NIP kind of the hold them at and wolves on the other side of the low ground of our RQ
Well team nemesis
Right on top of them but playing a little split because over by where Elise Sim has now shifted all the way into the eastern side of the map
They have that one player of Nemesis getting that survey beacon so that way they know how they're gonna rotate if they could play from
The northern side of this next zone once they see that zone shift
And as we see it pull through flat on the other side towards clinics sentinels at the bottom
Alliance vs. Pro vk gaming reject and habit have found themselves with it pulling through now ninjas and pajamas when we had that
Listen in they were talking about covering ground. He's like I don't want to go play just that side of the circle and watch them by myself
They were really talking specifically about their location. They do have that watch since they were kind of fencing down across the way
You have curib on the mad Maggie with Bane on the race constantly scouting things like this are going to constantly break out
Havoc still trying to maintain the flow
Approaching the mad Maggie ball it goes out the window still maybe it's a distraction for reject the portal away and reject has been eliminated
Where was that portal going?
reject now the next team out of this lobby nowhere to go when your backs are
stuck in a corner there
well Falcons do take to the skies by the way looking to go in for their rotate
other teams now with KSH and they're having a tool for how they're going to be able to
at least hold their own because it's going to be scary when they're at risk of
elimination you talk about Falcons
they get to the skies to try to find their spot and now they're on the other side of
Garton says
hey look if you find a place to play from Flats gonna have to move in
eventually but a couple of teams are likely taking notice of it when we saw
that POV from Havoc they looked to the sky that was the Falcons flying in they
did get their feet on the ground but everyone is putting the pressure
missile swarms of the war and flat day we can move up on this and we'll check it
with that as a moment later as the Falcons are eliminated no way we got
just a glimpse of that the very beginning before looking at the team
just hiding in the corner with Falcons getting eliminated at 18 that is insane
Falcons having a very rough start to their day. They only have three more games to go
Well flat on the other end by the way
Are starting off so strong they keep getting this early KP game after game so far with already for KP
The Mag Magi working wanders on top of that will be on the axle accuser being on the altar
3KP just for Q0, well, a lot of elite.
Old Purple's here, Henshman losing out on his shield.
Have to be careful as the Meeble Pop is back for now.
Looking right behind them, at least they have the safety belt on the TP.
And together, as they take the Void Nexus, going all the way down, our RQ get eliminated.
While Alliance picked that up for free, 16 squads left, we love to see how Alliance are able to recover from this.
Because it was that pile up that we keep seeing all over five barnards, DK now.
Now, looking down at the rotating tube alongside them, it's going to be dropped.
You're going to find here with the wrecking ball though, Tim, with a lead beam on the other side.
It sets up GK nicely, but they have to be careful with the 3P trying to fly around.
I think they were trying to break that door, and you can see the damage already going down.
Light on the roof, trying to keep the pressure destroyed off if he can.
Kind of back up with some shields on.
Maggie Ball ready to explode if needed, but for now they have their pile on up, the fences, not allowing them to get in.
GK do back away for the time being as a limit move in and make their presence known.
Nemesis, who have already strung a few kills together, this match thus far,
are still not quite ready to tackle this.
But Wolves will have to get out of the ring eventually.
Now these have like a minute, less than 10 seconds now.
Playing on the edge though, it's going to be difficult.
You mentioned Team Nemesis was waiting for them, but they're kind of playing a little
split because KinoTrip may be the same in Grace, depending on the pressure that Nemesis
feel, but Green kind of hurting him just a little bit.
Skittle Cakes now is going to be able to put down the Gen.
Wolves now forcing their way outside of the zone as you've mentioned before and Team Nemesis
Try to cover literally two teams at the same time.
Here's to the side of the fence.
Well, Monsoon, by the way, does take a piggy out of team hair.
Takes good luck, crazy.
Unfortunately, that was crazy to try to take that zipline.
The fact that sacred turns around and looks at the zip,
that should give Skittlekicks the reprieve he needs
to get back to his team.
He was the one that was on that fence line.
Oh, okay.
Okay, Skittles.
He dropped like a hot rock.
You guys saw that, the spots coming and flying.
Wolves get eliminated.
It's actually going off for quite some time though.
This is what we were mentioning in the feed with team
heretics, Elite, kind of, also getting Key on.
So it's like three team pile up that we've been seeing
before Elite holding onto his back.
And the, oh my gosh, he even got such a burly,
but he gets the backup as GK, get eliminated,
but beautiful as Kynah was also right there
to help all henchmen, they get the ring set,
and they get the rest.
But if that doesn't highlight the synergy
that elite Esports are operating on.
If he's not there to immediately get that trade,
the reset for elite gets pretty much drawn out.
And when you need to hit that rotate
from the southern side at the fullest help you can
in case of a fight, that's a great reset.
It is so good.
It is, because now they get to clear up
that southern side of zone, right Tiff?
And now they're gonna be able to look at the fight happening
over to the left side if you're considering
Sentinels in a limit. Well flat isolated by clinic. I love this spot for flat as long as they don't really get
griefed by the northern rotating teams. There is that one home warrior from team erotics trying to make the magic happen.
It's going to be hard. Flat playing very split up on purpose as they're harassing team erotics and they get that KP.
Good looks here for flat. As Nemesis now do the inter-attention over to NIP still taking their time but it's going to be flat.
The kings of the Zenex zone pool where they have control of that arena console.
Remember this zone has been pulling a lot closer to Flats for the last three games
and now this time they traverse a little bit as Keenotrope takes the skies.
And here goes the next fight. So much damage was already done to them while on their veiled.
Now Flats just looking to isolate them.
Early on just before this I want to note we lost out on Sentinels in this game.
We'll see how they work on Stormpoint.
For now Flats, the benefits of landing in a Summer's Universe
a quick rotate north, and Kena Trofe, already down to two.
Val's trying. See what they can, but it's not enough.
We cannot recover from that rotation.
Dude, that are like...
The third party? The third party?
Talk about the timing here, they lose out on nano.
That was Skiddle Cakes. Team Nemesis getting a little bit revenge,
but with this fight now going to take a bit,
this is the green light for NIP to move up and breathe either of these teams.
And now with Nemesis moving up, they find that next knock on to Flat.
Now down to a solo, can they fully reset? Is the question...
Oh, it's burning.
The 3P now is going to be able to face off as it's NIP team Nemesis.
Flat just trying to play out their life, looking to get this res next.
Louis has been dropping Riot drills all over the place and sacred, playing from the center.
Relatively open with NIP moving in. You've got to guard all sides possible.
We don't fall there, which is critical.
NIP on your left. Flat on the right, and Nemesis sandwiched between.
I really got that res too.
Clear retaliation here with the stack up elite now after clearing up their southern side.
They hear this fight and they're walking up for free on the Shopify of something else to say,
but it's up to team Nemesis to hold their ground on the bottom floor of clinic.
Tori now takes the sky.
Another team that's just trying to make magic happen.
Alliance still alive.
Hackus are guiding light on Alliance, rallying the troops via the Wraith portal, trying to get ahead of the Collapse on the west.
Going back in time to see what happened to Unlimit, it's Shopify, a firing squad and Zap with a wingman is disgusting.
We lose out on Akku in that time and Unlucky has fallen, Hackus lasts alive, the last.
If it's so powerful and havoc out of the hands of Virtus Pro, I'd imagine we're going
to be into our top five in just a few moments as everyone tries to get out of the West.
Oh my gosh, they're alive, they're actually alive.
And the fact that they're...
I'm seeing like drills everywhere.
It's like almost like a flashbang out here.
Shopify having to back away.
It gives some room for VP to breathe, to get these reds as BKG understand the situation.
You see more drills, but they're dancing around it.
They got the deathboxes to their feet, they get the evil shield swaps, and you're trying to give them the suppressed fire to both Shopify and VKG.
It's up to Dory though, who are isolated on this north side that are trailing behind VKG.
Trying to mirror this though is still that solo that is Alliance in the middle of their rotate, unfortunately.
We lost out on two and leaving only Hawkeyes alive. VK Gaming do get eliminated though, VP, they answer back.
After they wanted to get aggressive on VKG, who try to fully send it onto VP?
Still one of the longest rotations is VP and Dory. They'll stare at each other as they go.
Flat Ninjas and Majamas and Team Nemesis is also going to be pretty difficult.
But a G7 scout in the hands of Kasu...
I was going to say to him that the fact that Hopps is still alive, he actually takes that Shopify life itself!
I mean, working together with Elite Esports, goodbye Shopify!
That clears out that side of the circle.
I mean, look, we saw Panic get a solo win by just laying low the other day, so, I mean,
Hakis can do the same on Wraith, for now, Virtus.Pro has fully sent over towards Elite
Esports as Dory looks to claw their way into the circle from across the way.
Taking a page out of the Mechameleon book, you'll love to see it.
Nemesis just eats Virtus.Pro out of the lobby, and Virtus.Pro is still needing to grab points.
Nemesis! Oh my god, we're on five! We can't set their sights!
Hold on! Albert Lelysaker, they're eating!
Okay!
They're feasting on some ninjas in pajamas! Five squads left!
And Nemesis now has to fix the unelite who may greet them.
By the way, Hockies is still alive on the straddling!
He's bordling! He's bordling!
Where is he gonna go?
Hockies is keeping the dream alive for the rest of the lights!
the lines, the crowd gets a little louder, while Kynesta gets a follow-up knock.
He's putting good touch and flapping right there. Sending out the third mic, but having to be careful with the drill.
He takes the portal back, plays right underneath Flapp, and Nemesis are so
fixated on Elite, you can see Light trying to take it off angle. He hears the portal,
and he just got the Graver and Ammo, but it's not on the next shot.
And Hakus just had to keep fordling back and forth, back and forth, still alive.
An infinite Ammo, Graver, you're right. For Flapp, they're going to have to connect for
everything against Nemesis. And even Elite Esports by themselves on the other side, they've climbed to
the top of this series, yet again 17-point gap on second place. You see kind of there getting
prepped to have shield swaps all around, light on the rock, separated, holding, so much of the
circle. We know Flat and Nemesis are fighting. That is definitely gonna happen. Elite's gonna
to look for a third party if they can, unless something changes.
Now flat, down to a duo, but they finally tried to res him, but oh my goodness.
Alps says no, you're not getting them back on the feet. Remain a duo.
Excited Hawkeyes, who's still alive.
Into the void we go, we dance around, and Safer pulls another one.
Oh, they get Alliance though. You're down.
So it's flat, 10KP, at the hands of Pinder.
He's gotta move away though, that drill.
Just to keep a chunk out of him, he tries to get the shield.
And the Nemesis looks so good.
You talk about the young legends, sacred versus kind of,
but with their last two squads it's Team Nemesis.
They take it away and they are your game three winners.
A team relying on those explosive games
started their comeback just yesterday
and they are continuing to move forward.
14 kills, 5,200 damage throughout
that dynamite of a performance.
I do love what we saw from Elito.
I've got to give it to kind of when we have that final battle the first thing he does
He drops the Maggie ball. He's been holding and you do see Al get hit by it
They could not be stopped in that moment. There was one goal and one goal only and
Actually insane
The way that team nemesis were able to capitalize off of that
Well, it's an Alberlely getting like six Kp off the altar
That was it coming out of clinic, by the way, like elite looked like they could go uncontested holding the southern side the other side
All that fence line, but it was kind of man. That was for me like 10 KP at the very end on Mad Maggie
We won't see her this time around on Storm Point because she is the most pig legend for game number three
So it's also of these it's a Maggie. She's stuck in jail
But it was a great performance here for team nemesis to take the top because when it comes to talking about teams
that really need to ramp up here Tiff. Team Nemesis now move up in the overall
standings and it's a great look too to see how hockey's. I had to get a little
bit of a deja vu here because hockey's being on the right side of life for as
long as he did getting the placement points as well as some KP. He's great
because the Lions who were kind of on the back end side of the overall
standings before today are now sitting in 23 with overall points securing
ourselves just a bit or still have three more games to go.
Whatever it takes, game by game, point by point,
you claw your way out of elimination.
And the RRQ fans getting loud, getting prepped.
Wolves eSports as well trying to turn some things around, but here's our match results.
Those 14 kills, 26 points.
20 points. Elite. 20 points.
Flat defending a brilliant performance
throughout their three games on Olympus as well for 18.
That's a point sponge.
If I've ever seen one for the top three,
can we talk about the fact that like a leader about to like
wrap up on group stages like 20 or 200 plus points?
That's crazy. It's so crazy.
You know, this team is insane.
Like, sure, they didn't get the two dubs out of the three games
Olympus but they came pretty darn close to it and with so much KP. Honestly it's getting a little
quiet though. Four team Falcons after that third match what they went down in the 18th.
Crazy. I mean they do have that safety net too. They are still within the top 10 in the overall
standings but this is the opportunity for other teams who are now ramping up with these different
map rotations that we have between Olympus and Stormpoint to get very comfortable to start
building up that momentum, right? We're already seeing it with alliance here too.
As we get to see a nice look at our crowd and the way that the games have
already shaped up again, just to highlight no more trip, those see or mad Maggie
before we move on onto storm point. And you know, you could already expected to
have the baby comp as on setting gas can love to say will be shining through on a
map like storm point, especially highlighting house with some of these
teams prioritizing their POIs over on Olympus. How that's going to affect them
going into storm time. This is playing out thus far like we've seen. Crypto see your Mad Maggie
band and we can anticipate a potential Gibby band the moment we move on to Storm Point. But all of
her fans gearing up, let's head down to Barney gearing up for an interview. Thank you very,
very much. I am now joined by Peace from Unlivet. It's great to talk to you again. I'm quite excited
I'm going to break this down for
you. Day one. You guys finished
in ninth place in your group.
Day two. You finished in sixth
going into match three today.
You were in second place. I think
I believe now you're in the top
five. I can double check afterwards,
but it just seems like you guys are
getting more confident, more comfortable
up here on the stage, and we even spoke
a little bit about those difference in
play styles from regions. So are you
just getting a bit more comfortable
I think the first two days are the 6th and the first day is the 3rd.
The rank is rising gradually.
I think it's amazing.
Let me talk a little bit more about it.
As a team, did you feel that you were getting better gradually?
Yes, the first day was a bit more of a mess.
It was a bit more of a mess than usual,
but the next day, as usual, we had a normal performance,
and I think today's performance will be the best.
We are gradually getting better and better.
Like, you know, we picked up the pace.
Like, you know, we're able to perform as we would normally do.
And today is the best really.
So, like, we are really, really picking up the pace.
It's nice to see you guys climbing the leaderboard as well.
And obviously, like we said, getting more comfortable.
But yesterday we had a chance to have a quick chat.
You told me that you never really played Fuse.
Fuse just isn't really a legend that you play.
And today, game two, you won playing Fuse.
Is Fuse going to become your main?
At least that just is your character you're absolutely loving right now.
If you keep playing like this with Fuse, then I can only imagine quickly, huh?
Ah, you'll get yourself a mustache. I really quickly want to ask before you go, what's it like to play alongside Ylarinan and Xthuvila on the main stage? What's the dynamic like in the team?
I feel the best ever in my life.
And I, when we are actually,
I conquer the championships with my teammates, three of us.
I love it.
Hey, thanks so much for joining me
in this interview, an absolute legend.
But don't go anywhere because we have another interview
locked in with Rain Day over on the outside of the studio.
Well, thank you, Barney.
I'm standing here with none other than Asia,
who has welcomed us with his presence.
After we weren't sure if he was gonna arrive, Asia,
my question is, you guys basically made it
right at the start of the tournament.
And now, in day 3, you're playing for your lives, trying to survive,
and not get eliminated so you can make it going on into the next stage.
How are you feeling?
We didn't have enough time because everything was going to be fast.
But we tried our best to do it.
they play there versus the meta that you're seeing at land. What are some notable differences and how is that impacting you?
Well, to be honest, the current meta is very hard for him, especially for his team, due to the crypto getting nerfed.
So, the current meta that has the power of significant crypto is really limited right now.
Wow, Crypto getting banned. Game 1 every single time. I'm sorry, Asia.
However, I still believe in Eugene G. They're a big, big team from APAC South. They've got a lot of fans as well.
Well, we'll see if you guys can continue on.
Thank you so much for the interview.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you everybody for watching.
After this, we've got more Apex Legends
because a few teams after this are going home.
Play is in our DNA.
Whenever we let it out, it becomes our superpower.
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharge it.
Kadea City powered by play.
All that chatter about NIP, how are they going to be able to respond?
Boy, did we get an answer out of that squad because right now they are sitting with 75
points, Lace.
Goddamn, I absolutely knew that this is something that they could do because statistically,
Olympus is their top map in America.
So this is something where they intended to come out strong, needed to hit strong obviously
because of the previous group stages and they're doing exactly that.
And I mean, these zone pulls are a little bit crazy, but you know,
they kind of cemented a couple of them graceful.
Oh, don't even tell me about the zone pulls to back to back
and then one five 50 meters away. Hell, no, we don't want that.
However, I would like to say, though, and I think for sure,
manage to pull it back.
And this is really what it means to have that past achievement
and experience is that when your back is against the wall,
it's either do or die.
and they have definitely done well.
They're doing it.
Yeah, I wonder what kind of voodoo rituals
they might have been doing before this
to get these zillen pulls,
because we've had the summers
and we've had the far-right zones
and it is what it is, but it's working out for them.
And the thing is though, they are capitalizing on it.
And that's the biggest thing,
because a lot of times, you know,
we saw them with white armors in a couple of these games.
They had an SR right next to them with white.
I thought they were gonna get pushed,
but they did well enough to work those armors up,
stay in a good spot, and end up getting the KP
they needed instead of just the placement points
that we're seeing them send in a pretty comfortable spot
where they shouldn't be in elimination
potential anymore with three more games to go.
Does it worry you guys, though, that it
had to happen in Olympus here for them going into tomorrow?
We've done that.
I honestly don't remember what the map is going to be like.
But tomorrow is just going to be one day.
You've got to be in the top six.
Are they too, are they relying too heavily on Olympus?
It's nice.
Yeah, I mean, like I said, if Olympus is their best map,
they are fortunate that they got to save the best for last.
If that is the case, they had two rough days,
and some people just start tournament slow.
So for them to come out and capitalize and actually take advantage of their best map,
because I can't imagine how you'd be feeling if you came out and botched the map that you
was supposed to be your best, you're probably feeling confident going into and then really
feeling the panic set in as it goes on. But overall, I mean, they're doing what they need to do
and they stepped up when they needed to most. Well, one team that we got to touch base on,
because boy, they have been consistent, they have not been relying just on one map.
And if you don't know what I'm talking about, no, I'm not talking about R and Q, even though
although they're currently waving their flag.
I'm talking about a league, Grace.
Well, because that's what I mean.
Consistent is their middle name.
I mean, really, yeah, what can I say?
I said it before, and I said it the series before as well.
Undisputedly, the most consistent,
I would say the best team on this land currently,
and they're not showing any signs of slowing down, really.
What it took was for three songs to be in the same area,
and even then, they're still staying really consistent.
It's absolutely crazy.
It is crazy.
that's going to continue on whenever they do end up going to the finals because that's one squad
that's definitely going to go to the finals. Well, the second look at the match series so far,
we have had three matches. I want to see where some of the squads are standing because even
the casters were talking about it. We really haven't seen Falkens. I know Falkens
doesn't really have to worry about anything, but they might put themselves in that position
where they have to worry about not being able to make it directly to the grand finals.
Yeah, I mean, this is pretty surprising because we've seen in the first two sets of the group
stages that they came out in one game one and their comfort pick and their best character is with
the crypto and now if they don't have crypto and they've just been getting you know they that's banned
and they're starting extremely slow I mean they're not even in the first page here like you said they
were sitting around the middle of the pack even going into this so if they don't step it up in
the second half it'd be quite the shocker to not have them in the top 14 but it is starting to get
towards a threshold it'll be interesting to watch back on them. I mean definitely like you said coming
coming out with a big win typically starts the ball rolling in Falcons opposition has
been not really helping them I would say sometimes that's really what you have to do is that
you have to get some points on the board so far seven that's not nearly enough and something
we definitely don't we're not used to seeing out of them but so far though this tournament
has been a little bit of a slow starter but once again one of these teams Falcons included
once if they make it past here not seeing them in finals would be very shocking.
Yeah, and just add on to that, if we pivot down to RRQ, who were just in top 10 and now
not performing, they're going to get overtaken and if not have already.
So they need to do something within these last three games because they might lose their
top spot to like, you know, someone keeping consistency like a lead, but team Nemesis
are now coming up and they want that spot.
So they don't be really, really careful.
You're starting talking about RRQ and one of our amazing analysts was just shaking his
head's knife why were you shaking your head so much when it comes to a team RQ.
I want this team to succeed so bad because they have so much history and
they've been so close many times and you know they had a great day one they
came out strong they finished in the top three in day one and then it's just you
look at their early placements it's top three or bottom five and it's just you
know there's gotta find some balance to get in the middle of the pack.
It's disappointing for a team that has so much history and so much success.
You'll find your struggle as well.
I mean, as the crowd starts hopping out behind us, I can't...
I can't have trying to talk over me.
I want to jump into them and join them, honestly.
But, I would like to just add onto that specific up on RQ.
They've been looking really passive, I would say, as a playmate.
And when you're being passive, you're not being proactive enough.
If you're not being proactive enough, you let the game play you,
and you can really see that in their gameplay right now.
They're not really in control of a lot of the time.
Yeah, I mean, we've seen a lot of these teams that haven't been in this spot.
We have the Nemesis's that look like they're taking advantage of what they're getting,
even Flak coming out and having very good matches to getting high kills on the board.
And it just, you know, when it comes down to this final lobby, when you have to step up,
the teams that are making the first move, you always want to be the team on the aggression,
rather than a team that's on your back foot or else you're more of a reactive team,
and the teams that are the pro-active ones are the ones that are going to have more success
because they're on the same page and they're not waiting for the game to come to them and I think
that R2 is unfortunately letting the game happen in front of them while other teams are making
something. Sorry Snapper, I stirred them up a little bit more by a poachy. I'm great at that
this is hard. I mean they were right there I was scared so the guts it takes to see all that.
I love it. But this is currently the overall ranking what it's looking like so far today. Only
three games have been played we still have nine more matches to come. Six more with the other groups
But right now, I mean, the lead, I don't know, it's almost
dobbling everybody, so you know what, let's go to the next
space. Let's see where everybody else has totally had a limit.
They end up getting a win today that pushes them up nicely.
Team Falcons, I mean, we're worried about them.
They're in 10th place. They're going to be getting closer and
closer into the 14th place. Don't forget those other teams
from the other groups who'll be coming up and there you had it.
RRQ in 11th place, Lace. I mean, you know, that's still in that
top 14 sort of bracket in a sense, but yeah, this is where I
mean, they have to be incredibly careful because if you
You know you just look between those numbers down there
We've got ninjas and pyjamas who are sort of fighting their way through as well
So they need to be incredibly careful and these last three games are super important for them because they're quite close
But look if they can just even get those two matches in there
They probably might be a little bit better than some of those other teams, but it's this close
Yeah, we got a quicker just a heads up alliance being able to move it up, too
Are you happy with what you seem today out of alliance?
I mean it signs of life
And that's the most important part is that they haven't given up and that's the real thing sometimes they just
When you when you had to bad back to back day some people give up
And that's how you go out of the tournament alliance shown shown that they hey
We're still here to play still showing up as much as we can and if they just keep this up for now
They're remainder of the game. They're at least gonna move on to the next stage and over there
I have faith in them. Okay. Well, hey, I know they're gonna be playing later Aurora right now in that 34th place
We didn't see NIP anywhere near that because of the performance that they have had.
Let's see if NIP or maybe RRQ can start putting up some points on the boroughs.
We're going to go into Dan in onset.
Thank you so much. It's time for these games to keep on rolling.
We're back on the stage here. We've got three more matches to go before.
We unfortunately have to send a couple of teams home potentially here.
Dan Gaskin, scary times for some of the big names on our stage.
Yeah, a little bit concerning, especially for one team in particular,
to the next set. And of course,
we're changing map again. We're
back over to storm point here.
So three more matches to go
before the series is done and
dusted. This is the PLI draft
as we take a look at some of our
big hits and see number one
walls. They took a zoo station
for the first time in a while.
So we're going to take a look at
some of the games that we've
seen in the past. We've seen
some of the games that we've
to be able to do that. And
they're going to find as much
as they did at launch pad,
which exactly the same PY they
had last time we saw them on
store points here in this
tournament. Perhaps we are
going to look at the performance
of the tournament. So far,
Ketro club elite e sports. That
sounds pretty good to them and
RQ, of course. So four elite
e sports right if they're going
to find as much as they did at
at yet another victorious situation for them.
Well, just to remind everybody, what's at stake here?
Top 14, when the group stage is done,
we'll go directly into our match point finals.
The bottom six, when all is said and done
on our group stage, will be going home.
The rest of the team will go through to our survival stage
tomorrow, where they will fight out
to get into our match point finals.
But it's time for the end of the talking
and the start of the gun shooting,
because it looks like we're almost ready to get
into a stall point here. I need three more matches here
down for teams to solidify where they're going to be.
And interestingly, for Elite Esports,
they have a chance to set records here as well.
They could be the first ever team
to win every single group stage set
that they are involved with.
We have not seen that ever.
We have seen teams come close.
Alliance DarkZero, they would get two out of three sets,
for example, but they are on course
for setting and breaking records right now.
Yeah, ridiculous stats from them.
Really, really impressive stuff.
And just to put into context something extra,
of course, that's very impressive being number one. If you go out the group stage is straight into their grand final
You're gonna have the first pick in the PLY draft as well
So you're gonna have your pick of the litter when it comes to where you're gonna be playing from in that match point finals
That is a huge huge advantage for them
Yeah, especially when you look at how some of these PLYs have
Benefit teams as well with the amount of points average they've been able to put on the board
You look at certain viewers like zoo station for example has had the most wins so far on storm point
could that be something that you start to look towards? Do you start to transition towards another map?
But for example, maybe Humber Labs on Olympus might be quite good from what we've seen so far today.
Certainly would be nice to see that one pop up if you do decide to go with Humber and see the zones that we've seen continuously so far this morning here.
But yeah, it's another thing to keep in mind. You know, POI drafts are so, so influential as to how these teams are going to perform when we get to those match point finals.
But that's a long way away still. You've got to get there. You've got to make sure you're in that finals lobby.
And the top 14, like we mentioned, at the end of the group stages will be the teams who go through directly.
One team on this graphic, I want to point out RRQ over towards Mill.
Interestingly, Mill has been the worst performing POI on Stormpoint so far in this tournament.
And RRQ are a team who typically have been one of our best Stormpoint performing teams.
So I'm curious how those statistics go up against each other.
When you get a good Stormpoint team and a bad POI, does it average out in the middle?
Or do we see them start to lose points because of the POI they're going from?
It's going to be interesting to see how that story develops.
Sentinels, no surprise to see them band sent them up.
They're going to be playing from Jurassic,
the world champions are in the lobby,
and look, it's to solidify a spot in our match point finals.
The game is live, everybody, here in Paris.
UWC continues.
The Splitmore playoffs continues,
and it's time for us to get these three matches underway.
I think there's so many developing stories
into this next three matches as well.
When we were looking at the start of the series,
Ninjas and Pajamas, for example,
We were saying, can they survive elimination?
Can they make sure they at least get into the survival stages?
Now, if we see Ninja's and Pajamas have three incredible matches,
we're starting to say, could they do enough to get into match point finals
if they have three good matches in a row here?
Yeah, it still is quite close for a lot of those spots just outside of the top 14.
And of course, you want to be in there, but just jumping yourself up a few extra places
can be very nice when it comes to that POI drop.
Look at where the zone is going to be going, though.
good news for reject and vk gaming because we are going north of cascade falls by the looks face of course Maggie was banned from that match three as well so we won't see Maggie see or crypto into match for the good news is Watson survives and then there was a few teams that were a little bit taken aback yesterday when Watson somehow was banned over Maggie kind of ruined their plans a little bit but it's going to be plenty of Valkyrie as we move over to Storm Point typically we have seen that already this tournament and in scrims as well very important.
It's going to be a tough zone if you're late to arrive.
Now the fact that we do have some Gibraltas and some baby cops.
Like you mentioned, with the Valkyrie picks starting to upsurge,
things that late landings are an option.
You have that option to the bubble from the Gibralta.
Also, the Castle Wall from the New Castle to solidify a spot.
It's one of those, like we saw yesterday,
in a couple of those match fours,
where we've gone to a few zones with not a lot of natural cover,
but the fact that where we are in the bands
means the compositions are kind of leading
to be able to make it a little bit more playable.
The shopper for a billion 17 points on the board, which, you know,
is not too bad when you have to play with a substitute,
the worst substitute in the world to be added to yourself.
Of course, a lot of history between these two players as well.
For Elite 53 points, they look like an unstoppable force at the moment on set.
And I'm curious to see whether they do slow down here on Stormpoint.
It would be maybe making everyone else in the lobby feel a little bit better
If they do start to drop off, but right now, they look like hot tournament contenders.
That's Spiders, maybe he's made his way a little bit further than I think anyone expected.
He wanted to say hello to Elite.
He's forced maybe congratulate them on their performance so far today.
Shopify Rebellion, we can see potentially mirroring their rotation at the moment.
Interesting pyjamas there just down to the south of Stormcatcher at the moment,
just clearing out the spider cave of their own to get those evers up extra attachments
to make their way towards zone.
It's been a good comeback from them today.
today. Yesterday was not a good day, but the work that's been done overnight, whether it was
better rest, better nutrition, or maybe a word in the ear from Coach Raven,
will come out to play today and live a lot more like the Ninjas in pajamas we expected to see.
And just to give you an idea of how far NIP are behind those top 14 qualification spots,
they are only nine points behind them at the moment. And sure, we do have two more groups
competing, so you have to bear that in mind. There will be teams playing catch up, but it just shows
How good they have been today, comparatively, to how they were prior.
Just looking at zone in the moment, there's not going to really be a huge amount of options to rotate early.
Just based upon where this zone is going to be going.
So you can see a lot more teams playing a slower game, especially when we mentioned there's a lot of Valkyrie in the lobby.
There's no need to really arrive as early as when Valkyrie isn't in the composition,
or maybe when the zone is a little bit more favorable to some natural buildings and cover.
T2 are in zone at the moment VK mentioned they had a quick rotate wolves at e-sports are here there for a
Sami habit and team Nemesis are already inside alone. I'll limit who are watching right now
Down on the south side and they're chasing down sentinels a couple of these sentinel shots are connecting
Bonsu is actually gonna have to use that castle wall to jump back to the safety of his teammates was a little bit split from them there
Sentinels who interestingly they sit in that 14th position in the moment do sentinels
They are the current cut-off for those finals qualification positions, but right now it looks like they are going to struggle to get any further in this game.
Two are going to go down.
Is that one remaining player to survive and maybe keep their chances here at Ceto Station?
Is it going to be the escape route for the last remaining?
Yeah, Britson managed to just about get out, but...
Recepting is another question. There is actually a crafter at Ceto Station if you want to try and hit that.
Flatt are going to be moving from middle, so the exit plan is a little bit shaky for them.
Elite, they're going to take to the skies now.
The first Valkyrie that we're going to see on our screens.
And from the looks of where they're looking to rotate,
it may be potentially towards where Dory find themselves.
This could be a little interaction they're not expecting,
but the scan from Valkyrie will give them that information.
Now, Dory do not look particularly healthy when it comes to armors.
And I wonder if Elite will be thinking,
maybe we might be able to pick up a couple of Kink P here.
And Dory do not look particularly healthy
when it comes to those leaderboards as well.
This is essentially the first team against one of our last teams
at the moment in those overalls, if the engagement does happen.
So just by how well these teams have been playing, this could be a whitewash.
Yeah, Tatsu-King.
What about how it comes from a distance?
The light should be able to finish this one pretty quickly.
He's completely separated from the rest of the team, but oh my.
Hold on. Hold on a minute.
Here come the cavalry!
And Dory needs this more than anyone in the lobby.
Light is left on his own, and the link has been so good, and thrown it away!
I mean, insane. Dory have done
little to nothing so far this
series. And to do that against
the team who is just half the
press right now, like you
mentioned, it was way more
important for them than it was
for elite elite. They're already
going to be in the finals. I
think you already know that
was for elite elite they're already going to be in the finals I think you
already know that at 191 points yeah enough you would be seeing them a match
point finals but as I mentioned earlier Dory they are still down in those
elimination places right now. I was interested in one to watch back I think
of all the legends you maybe want to think you could pick up quickly and you
castle the most frustrating just playing behind that mobile shield just
bought enough time for the rest of Dory to arrive another team who's been quiet
so far today is on your screen right now. Team Falcons and it's ninjas in pajamas
who are looking to get aggressive on them. There's a big armored differential between the two teams
and Cole is going to get at least an armor checker one, 60, 61, 20 damage from the longbow of the POV
we're watching. So a lot of these teams trying to rotate uphill at the moment just getting caught in
the backside and sadly not able to continue their journey because you are so vulnerable when you
start to march upward. It looks like Falcons have been able to call somewhere hoping for now but
Yeah, there you go. You have to utilize Valkyrie.
They probably didn't want to pop the Valkyrie that early,
but they can't afford to be sitting around
because there's going to be so many teams in that area to pick them off.
Do not get pinched.
Essentially, the secret of Apex Legends are the very top level.
When Valkyrie's recognizing they were in that situation,
they throw down the dome, they get the Valkyrie,
and the Skyward Dive activated, and they get out of dogs.
A team who's not doing that right now is unlimited
because Alonzi is flying in off the back of the grapple.
On path, find a piece.
He's going to be put back to sleep, we saw him a little bit tozy earlier on today before the games got underway.
One member of Unlimits still lives somewhere around here and you can see that they're hunting him down right now, Team Heretics.
Yeah, they're having a look but actually he's been able to get extremely far across the map.
I think there was an early commitment to retreating from that fight and the rest of the squad said,
Look, we'll just hold down the fort and you go on your way.
So as long as we're going to continue moving a little bit further north of the building you were mentioning earlier,
that Wolves Esports currently
resided looks very pretty right
now, and I'm sure some would
like to try and take it away
from them and look at that from
Dory after taking that fight
initially against the lobby
leaders elite. Now they found
themselves up towards the
command center on the western
side of it. And actually this
could be a fantastic place to
hold. Yeah, really good spot for
Dory to hold outside of command
centers as long as they can
watch their backs and nobody
wraps them late in the game.
They will have a height
advantage that be able to watch
everything coming through that
spider cave. And if anyone
that are held currently by Wolves eSports.
They're going to have some really good angles
to pick off some of those late-vout-alting teams in.
On limit, Stubbs has done a great job.
Tumascape, like you mentioned,
but he's going to have to look for a reset here,
and it's looking like a tough, tough game for them.
It's going to be tough for a lot of these later rivals.
There is an interesting development happening on the South as well,
between Falcons and Shopify Rebellion,
but it looks like they're going to back off away from each other now.
I think all of these teams don't really want to engage
because they know the bigger picture is just trying to get to this late end game.
And perhaps once they get there and realise their cascade falls has got an absolute blockade there,
they might start committing to a few more fights and engagements just to try and put points on the board.
It's just a bit of a replay of the fight that we saw between Unlimit and Team Heretics, as we also see.
Essentially, the fast forward of block is the Greek step on the live screen on the left-hand side.
Stevie has managed to get the res, but he's being pushed right now by Team Heretics,
He's put out a huge amount of damage and might be able to even up the numbers before his teammates drop it.
Alonzi will fall and this is part two. Heretics versus Alonzi again.
Bumble goes down. He could have to go to the red. I like this. Get the road revived. Make sure you get back up to a full three so you can actually compete properly.
The Bumble's in Gibby now. It's just such a difficult thing to try and pierce.
The difficulty trying to limit is two of them aren't really going to have abilities considering they're just coming out of that dropship.
Longzhi has gone down again though, and with the noise that's been created a lot of teams are starting to
just manoeuvre towards where this battle is taking place.
On limit, still looks to be aggressive onto this one.
Team Heretic's just trying to dance around the bubble, yarns to be the one inside of it.
But aren't on some way as good, but Ylariman is better!
And Team Heretic's pay for the push onto on limit.
The Shopify rebellion now in the area, potentially trying to look up the pieces and the scraps that have been left behind.
Can Unlimit go unseen, unnoticed as they try and hide away, but Shopify rebellion, they are trying to sniff them out.
You can see they are above like a hound looking for a rabbit at the moment as RRQ also on the outside of this one.
Shopify is going to elect to play this Higer and very smart not to drop.
You're always going to stand up on that drop unless you play certain legends with certainly aren't.
And it would be easy shots for Unlimit who will get the full reset. Shopify now controlling.
The respawn held by the waterfall.
and they'll be tucked in underneath.
Now both teams will have to leave.
You can see the zone has pulled away continually.
One team who's managed to get right inside of zone, by the way.
Nestled up alongside Wards Esports is Alliance.
Very good rotation from them there.
They're early as we take our attention away from zone.
Over to NIP and VK Gaming.
VKG will hold their fort.
They deny NIP who I think we're just looking for somewhere to call home,
but that's going to be go time.
You get that first knock and VKG are sending it.
trying to get a pull out trying to get the rest of his team away, but it's only going to go so far in castle with that triple taking his hands. He's looking to peak. And look at see if they can capitalize on that knock.
So Bane's done a fantastic job actually to get cold out of that situation, at least allow ninjas in pajamas a chance to reset here.
to be able to do that. I think
they're going to be able to
do that. I think they're going
to be able to do that. I think
enough is said sometimes about
how well some of these teams
survive and also use their
abilities to help teammates get
up certain situations, whether
they're not or not. Now team
Falcons have actually been able
to surpass a lot of the
congestion that we saw a cascade
falls and I'm going to continue
on their journey. I think they
used a lot of the noise that was
happening elsewhere. There's a
little bit of a distraction here
and now they can play under the
bridge for now.
Elsewhere in cascade. You can see
This is the compound at the top of the cannon and at the bottom of the zipline, depending on how you want to look at it.
Wolves were hit early and they had a great early rotation from Cascades.
Alliance joined them very soon after. Now it's about looking to disguise.
All of these teams later on will be hitting those valve holes to try and play the roof, try and play some of the staircases underneath.
If you could control the space and force teams away, Wolves' chances of winning this game go up significantly.
That bubble's going to save RC. No name decides, there's no need to push this.
You look at some of these fights, you're like, without a bubble, they are completely dead there.
But without a bubble, you probably don't valkan to that point either.
You are going to see now wolves just back off and say, alright, we won't even take them out on landing.
As far as pro, we'll get eliminated on their push.
Yeah, we're going to see a few teams start to get eliminated on this southern side.
Flatt going to be the next out of the lobby.
Sentinels who managed to reset, thanks to Blix up, are going to be safe inside of Cascades.
Elsewhere, look at the zone. Alliance starting to do a little bit of work.
Gen.G were arriving, Ninjutsu and Pajamas are saying goodbye.
They've just been eliminated down on that southern side.
A tough rotate to them, but having had to leave that fight
with DKG a little bit earlier down on that south side
as a limit, who are back in that game,
having won that important fight on the respawn,
now look to McFort, look to move forward.
Pijic has just been eliminated in the meantime.
They might get salvaged here, though,
because Team Nemesis are on the other side of Aigara,
RRQ on one, Nemesis on the other.
Gen.G just fell out of the lobby at the same time,
but it would be very impressive if Unlimit
get out of this unscathed.
The Larry man getting picked, getting prodded.
Pricey looking to pitch.
It's interesting to see the POV of Pricey
a little bit earlier on in one of those games on
Olympus.
And he went down as the final player ally
just complete frustration
being shown by him. He knows how much.
A couple of points can make the difference
when he comes to the final stand is at the end
This group stage 44 seconds until they have to move on series down here
But he's got the castle wall down at least they should be able to drag him back to sweet
Well, this is a great position to try and hold but I like to want to deny it
They know what a threat sensors would be here, but are they gonna get the chance to or can sensors hold on to a nail down?
And sadly I think it's about to be the beginning of the end for said to us it left one player gonna
Save which again one has been able to go on this corner as blitzer again
I wonder if it was a Valco up into the skies or maybe just skidding around the edges of the problems on limit
I've just been eliminated down and that's sort of side. They weren't able to survive
The blinks up is redefining what it means to survive so far in this game
Alliance just went up in the overalls into the top 20 now
They also are starting to look towards that top 14 a couple of wins on the board here and alliance
You know, maybe they do the unthinkable today and pushing themselves into those final positions
We're going to have to wait and see what happens in the remaining games.
Now it's going to get interesting down on this southeastern side here.
Kurosame having been eliminated.
Sentinels will finally fall.
Unlucky sniffs out Blinxer with that Mastiff and puts him in the dirt.
So Alliance picking up KP and starting to pick up a little bit of form of momentum.
A little bit earlier today we saw them looking much better than they did yesterday.
Nemesis up on this high ground.
They've got the castle wall down, but they're going to have to take a lot of fire from a lot of teams surrounding them.
It's amazing how some of these students have been able to find themselves in this kind of position as well.
And again, it's down to that baby comp. It's down to the Gibraltar.
Now, where's the Kraber for Skittle Cakes? Can they just dominate the high ground here?
Not just the Kraber, unlimited ammo in it as well, so he's going to be able to fire so many rounds, as many as he wants.
on to the teams that are surrounding that's going to make that position on the high ground much easier to fortify
We don't want to pick it in with the craper ever and be able to wrap to loft shots without unlimited ammo
It makes it even more scary for the team surrounding well interestingly this building
We're looking at now is not going to be in the next zone
We're actually transitioning back towards the alliance building so only alliance and falcons are within the next zone
So everyone else is gonna have to move in together
together. Skill Cakes! With that Krabber, Wolves actually try and bubble up onto the
height to see if they can get a knock, but Skill Cakes hits a big, big shot and forces
them back down. Skill Cakes actually hit the shot of the DK Gaming, you were down on the
southeast. He's just looking at anyone who he might be able to pick a shot off and see
if he can disrupt their plan. Because DK holding the south, Shopify Rebellion not too far away
from them, 20 seconds until this zone now closes, and even though Nemesis are looking
and trying to disrupt a little bit, they have to focus on what's happening at the Tascar hand of this building.
They do have the Gen down, which if you make survivability a little bit better, but look at the damage being output here by Wolves.
It's the okay scush for the No Scope, he had no other option.
Sacred, you've got to go huge for your team here, maybe have to get armor swapped to survive a few extra seconds,
but 10 squads might become 9 in a few moments time if Sacred cannot survive.
It's a good opportunity to get extra placement points though, even as an individual, we still have 10 squads,
probably gonna lose four or five just in this next zone is there's not much space to play as now walls
They're trying to find that last remaining player, but the sacred looks like he's avoided the gunfire for now as wall step up
We try to take the high ground
Dory will land from that height
To see how Nemesis initially took this position away on the replay
RRQ on the bottom left of your screen live though
in for the ammo outside in the hands of EZ flash and they're getting pushed here by GK
and they're taking a lot of damage there, get absolutely
deftly by the defensive performance of Gibby O'Hurts.
It takes us down to nine and suddenly this building that everyone's tried to play initially
over towards the cannon becomes very enticing as Falcons also have found the spot to go home.
I thought we were going to lose more but everyone respecting their neighbors at the moment and
Knowing if you commit to a fight you risk potentially throwing things away never just back up to a two. They were able to get a res
Sacred son doing everything he can in this game
What's the winners of the previous game that's gonna build some cops and that's the walls they want the smoke
Never since 118 learning back to his feet a pack on the back and a thank you very much
There's Falcons now in that south side have to be careful. They use that bubble and they're being bubbled up on
Keep trying to poke.
You're with the R9, there's a great top to hold here.
You have to have someone hold aggressively
because otherwise they're just going to press up easily.
Doring will get eliminated but it's a brilliant game for them
and they very much need it.
Alight is still holding their building by the way,
not allowing anyone to take it off them.
Alight's a crooked at the moment, they've got multiple kills
already in this game.
As Falcons in a little bit of a pitch, Wolves will be eliminated next.
QQ gets the final knock onto Wendt.
And that's gonna mean the lobby starts to thin out even more here back to the high ground
DKG still controlling it, boy do they need a game
Falcons are only wondering why GK are putting so much pressure onto them
But GK are worried that Falcons are gonna wrap and then take their position away
So that's why they're applying said pressure
Shopify rebellions now start to move up a level as well
Closer towards the Alliance territory, they've been claiming this is a lock
The Shopify spot is gonna be safest for Longest GK by the way, they've hit a balcony
And now Shopify's position might not be one of the best in zone.
The lay of the land is known by GK. They know where everybody on the map is, and they are playing the side of zone with nobody quite as well.
Mark is still aware of the zone, and their focus very much is on GK right now.
Kinitra and Klub are the one team that could really affect how that entire Southern fight goes down if they try to drop a little bit earlier than maybe extended.
I'll give up this high ground all night in the hands, trying to find a little bit of damage
off to the Val'Khok down from the low ground.
It's Shopify Rebellion who choose to take to the skies this time.
Val'Khok is still playing that corner.
What is the next play for them?
Option to bubble out as the light starts to peak the other side of the cannon where Kintor
trying to find themselves.
So Kintor is going to end on the lower ground as well, he's going to pull away from the
cannon so both Shopify and GK they are close.
Because he's taking damage, Hackez finds one with a Mastiff.
Waltz he's having to drag Falcons members back to their feet on this low ground as the lucky continues his warpath in this game.
He's got six kills already in this game.
The lucky taking the game on his back is seven as the Lions continue to wipe in these bubble fights.
A question was asked of a Lions yesterday and today it is being answered.
They're into the top four. It's about to be the top three. Can they go all the way?
Gonna try and go on three squads or rating.
Alliance, damaging GK down on this low ground.
They've got a huge advantage here.
Even with both bottles down, Fappers will fall.
Unlucky will peek. Unlucky will poke.
And Alliance will be your champions!
Alliance put themselves up into the top eight of the overalls with that win.
They were on the brink of a elimination coming into today, but now...
Just as we expected, when you start to count them out, they rise once more.
And they look like the Alliance of Old. They've gone through the worries and the troubles of those first two days.
And if they keep this rolling, they may just secure their spot in match point finals.
Long-lived Alliance. Never count them out.
These boys thrive on pressure when their backs are against the wall.
We've seen it through the years, they come up with something special.
Today they've come to play, and they're making you eat your words.
They are indeed, and boy am I happy too, they taste great.
Such a well-played game from Alliance, they had that building for so long, and it was
how they denied anyone trying to take it away from them, and the Alliance fans quite rightly
delighted and I'm sure relieved with the performance we've seen so far today.
And like I said, they still have two more matches here on set.
They still have a chance to solidify themselves in the top half of this leaderboard
and give themselves such an incredible opportunity of getting into this match point one.
Something that was very interesting for me in that game as well was the choice of weaponry
from Alliance as well with the baby cop. The fact that they've got the Gibraltar
And they are running double mastiff.
With that new hop-up as well, it just allows you, if you get those kills, if you get those knocks to continually be involved in that fight.
Unlucky was doing a fantastic job with it. Hackers was doing a great job with that mastiff in hand.
When you're starting to see what paying attention to those patch notes can do for a pro player.
It's also the alliance we saw at Scripps, and it's about time they showed up to land here.
You heard it from hackers yesterday. It was a deflated interview from hackers last night
But he said look we I don't really understand what's going wrong. We were playing so well leading up to this tournament
Everything was prepped correctly
Sometimes you just need to have one of those days we need to kick up the backside
An alliance back on top. I was about to say you took the words right out of my mouth
Sometimes you just go bitch one of those days. Yeah, there's nothing I can really put my finger on as to why
things aren't going well, but who cares about yesterday when you come into today with this kind of a fire and this kind of a crowd
Behind you as well giving the alliance points the support that they so deserve
Pressure off the shoulders now for alliance. Now. It's about looking upwards instead of down
It puts them 14 points ahead from the cutoff of match point finals at the moment, which is quite significant
Especially with two more matches
Remaining that is close to being record-breaking not quite but
that is the kind of game we've seen from these players. 33 points is an insane total. GK with 11,
Falcons with 10. It's also an important game for Falcons. The analysts were saying they'd had a quiet
series so far, but now they also start to put points on the board, which kicks them in the top
10 at the moment for those overall standings as well. I think the Alliance scriptwriters maybe
would like something, or the Alliance fans would like the scriptwriters to do something slightly
different because it's like every time isn't it? It's like oh god we're alliance what is going on
and adjust when they need to. They pull a performance and a game like that out of the bag and all of
a sudden everything seems good. The way they control the space around this building though Dan
very very impressive. I love the fact that they were able to bubble down on some of the teams
that were below them looking to play some of those corners and use those mastiffs at their full
potential just chunking away not letting anyone feel comfortable. It's just fighting with confidence
I think that game they developed more confidence the longer it went on. They were looking down their building every single time
They were winning an engagement
They were happy to take the next because they knew how well they were fighting. They knew they had the tools to do so
They weren't missing which is usually the key factor for winning a fight as well
It's actually an incredible and exciting final circle to watch
Even though sometimes it'd be difficult to keep up with with Gibi and Newcastle with their shields
that. That's really. Is the
very definition of relief. From
unlucky. Now it's just amazing
how quickly the bad memories of
yesterday will disappear. Alliance
are back. Everybody will wait
for them to arrive. Under the
bright lights, and they certainly
have announced that they are here
to play now. What a rollercoaster
the biggest heavy hitters down
and struggling in the first couple of days. But then they start to find their form a little bit as they always seem to do. And when you look at that screen, there are legends of the game all appearing in the top three of match for now. But it's really the difference of how many kills Alliance just found.
the entire lobby affiliative.
Yeah, 21 kills is quite something.
That's a match that there's going to be a lot of analysis for.
We'll go back and I'm sure the bottom reviews will be superb.
After the event is done and dusty.
For now, though, before we get into game four, we're going to take a quick break here.
We'll be back in such a game five, Dan, because we just had game four.
But don't go too far. We'll be back in game five.
You see my aim on the night,
But I do not shan't you?
world cup. 2026. And if you
just joining us, you just miss
one of the highlight games of
the entire tournament so far.
Alliance back in form with 21
kills alongside a big, big win
on store point. Like you said,
I eat my words. I was talking
a lot about how accu and how
he's been performing on this
team, not having effect. Will
we see Alliance reach the same
kind of numbers they do when
I'm happy to hear their answer.
And as I mentioned, I am happy to eat my words.
A lot of calories involved. Yeah, something, uh, fully meal as one of my good friends would say, so I would say the crowd is certainly getting involved with these games are going on.
You can just feel all of a sudden when the pressure starts to increase, we get closer and closer to send in some teams home, sending teams to finals.
And of course, setting us up for the survival stage tomorrow, which is going to be a whole new thing on its own.
the entire game. We're going to
see the game going more and
a little bit more looking at
the bands, though, and where
we are going to be in this
particular series. Now we're
going to see Valkyrie out of
the equation now, so no
Valkyrie out of the equation
now, so no Valcotts available
for our teams, which happened
last time we had Storm Point.
Well, on match for Valkyrie
got ripped away from us and
it's to be expected. Just adds
so much on store point,
especially with the elevation
and the changes, but it really
Alliance did but look at those stats from unlucky stepping up where they needed it most yeah 4.5k damage. That is a
That is pretty darn good
Let me tell you that that's pretty rare that you do that on the big stage
11 kills so 13 knockdowns as well so get involved in all of the scuffles surrounding that building that alliance got too quickly
And making the most of it, but now that's history. We head in towards match number five here between
the game. We're going to be
going to be between. Group B
and C. And just a reminder, top
14 when the group stages done
will go directly to our match
point finals. But if you are in
the bottom six, unfortunately
eliminated for the tournament
and that key will get crushed
as well. We might well, we will
definitely be seeing some keys
getting crushed after today's
competition, but we might have
one team potentially eliminated
themselves a chance after that game. They are currently seven points now off. It would
seem no, then wow, it's a little bit more than that. It is 15 points. They are away
from the elimination position, so they still need to keep going here in 5 and 6. Sure,
they're keeping their eyes on that points tally as well, seeing and knowing what they
have to do in these final two games to save their tournament. Looks like the players are
moving. They're out of the dropships. We're heading back into store point here. Match
number five is live. Locked and loaded. And where are we going to be heading? Because as we were
mentioning, you have to move pretty fast here if you're a zone team. You don't have that fallback
of the Valkyrie ultimate. Now, this guy with Doug is not going to save your bacon.
And that means composition wise, we change everything. We're starting to see various
different ways of movement. Well, the first topic of conversation is always how are you doing,
the ball. You know, it's a
good, really good, actually.
Yeah, a bit hot after that
wanted to always. Where's the
zone going? We are heading up
towards a team of Falcons by
the looks of things. Elrod
Stormcatcher certainly involved,
but historically we do usually
see the pull up to the north
Falcons. Just check it if they've
got a ring console. Yes, they do
indeed. So good news for team
Falcons fans. This is a really
good opportunity for Falcons to
put points on the board and to
let it by their spot at the
moment in those match point
finals positions, even though
the other teams. They're
going to be able to move fast
and teams that need points
ninjas and pyjamas. Of course,
even though they are in a better
position than they were, we
haven't seen them have that pop
off game like alliance have had
just yet, so they still find
themselves in 21st. Only 25
points ahead of that cutoff,
which sounds like a lot, but
you've got to remember there are
still six matches to be played
from other teams, so you do want
the team who really do have the most on the line in the last two games. You mentioned when we look
at the standings, they are currently inside of that bottom six. Now they need to be outside of
that bottom six on the end of these games that even have a chance at surviving in this tournament.
Of course, we have the other groups to play a little bit later on today, so they will have to
watch and hope from the sidelines, but you've got to put it in your own hands. Big games from Dory
gives themselves a lifeline. And that's the thing, you can get out of that bottom six and be one
to get to the bottom six.
You have to try and put yourself
with as much distance as possible
and the first game that we've
seen from them in much more
since we've been casting. It
looked pretty good. They have
incredible fight against elite.
They need more of that more of
the same. Ninjas of the
Germans have made their move as
have walls. Esports. They came
all the way from zoo station,
which I say all the way, not
particularly far.
Skip it a jump when we talk
about P. O. I's being close to
each other. I'm just trying to
they're going to be able to
get to the top of the bar.
Skip it a jump when we talk
about POS being close to each
other and they're going to play
the rock formation with their
backs clear. Good news for these
teams who are here early,
because they won't have to look
to the skies in this game. We
mentioned the Valkyrie band.
Means that some more linear
game for them. The skies will
be empty unless there's a few
evac towers. Coming a little bit
later on. But for Wolfs, this is
going to be a really, really
to be able to do that. There's
going to be a few very difficult
rotations for teams as well
with the choke points. They're
going to be available. So if
you can hold some of the areas
whether it be on that far eastern
side or across the middle route
from Stormcatcher to Lightning
Rod, there's a real opportunity
of picking up Kp as well.
Not necessarily game winning
positions, but certainly ones
where you might be able to find
points. BKG in a really good
spot as well. They're holding
the building, which has the
survey beacon on enlightening
There's the uh
They need to release a Ylariman alternator skin. I'm just gonna say that
He for me when you talk about like players who's scoring here. I think of weapons of the how are 99 for example
Craver zero Ylariman alternator
Release the skin
Or apps
I have no leverage by the way. No, I'm zero
Probably more than me. In fact, it's probably further away than it's ever been
to the right. All of these
teams starting to descend on
to lightning rod. Now a heavy
commitment to this northeastern
POI. There are going to be
some teams that are going to be
north of lightning rod, but I'm
going to go for a little bit of
a late rotation. One of those
being alliance. I'm wondering
whether anyone tries to position
themselves in the kind of
tunnels. The western side of
lightning road as well. If you
You might just be able to find some key to
Weapons as they monsoon
Sentinel these keep up or Sentinel
And of course our good friend Jumbo master
What Jumbo did on that day? Hey, let's not talk about that. Let's not give him any more love than he needs mission Jumbo
The team heretics
They're a long way away from zone at the moment
They're over a pile on hit and ring console and survey beacon. They've also got Evo harvester just to their north
the game. I'm not sure if
I'm going to be able to get
the ball. So it seems like
the purple is whatever on
right now. You have an
interesting composition here.
Pathfinder is going to be
their rotational character here
with that zip line. Gibraltar
and new castle, of course, for a
little bit more stability. When
they do get to the spot that
they want to play.
I think shopper by rebellion
might have heard team heretics
pace they also might be trying to hit information as well and evo but we're
about to see a clash between chopper firebell in heretics yeah they finally
got eyes on them and I'm assuming chopper firebell in still IGL by Zinu even with
phony coming typically is an IGL himself
Happy brush if we're fucking you I'm playing like an IGL well it's quite funny because he
did use the IGL Zinu isn't it there's a lot of history let's put it that way
I'm sure they'll be extremely thankful if only has come in.
Look, we even had a player picture ready for him.
It's like he did media day for another team.
He's just been passed around here.
He's been passed around.
Does he want a cast?
Love to have him in the booth.
I actually would.
Good news for everyone as well.
So, Koi, full tweet a little bit earlier,
saying he's feeling much better.
So, that is great news.
You will see him back for the rest of the tournament.
I'm sure Shopify would love him back.
We certainly would love to see him competing once more.
This is where the zone is going.
you can see it's gonna be an
interesting one. I wonder if
shopper fire were moving
towards high long for the next
bit of information. Great
zone read coming in from team
Falcons, though, I will say
and wall Z sports off the back
of that first ring console
that they got the second zone.
They are in prime position now.
To be involved in this end game
and this is another one. It's
a really, really tough zone. You
got to see a lot of teams kind
of build up around where reject
Sentinels Alliance are flying
building, playable space.
Everywhere else is just open ground and rock formations.
Falcon's job is to hold off the likes of Alliance, so we're going to land here
in one of those rock formations, because they will be able to peek down onto them,
but that's just great game knowledge, coming in from Hack is what spots a playable
and what spots on.
Be careful here, unlucky, that bubble's going to be up long enough to get him to pop the battery
before he gets that castle down.
Look at this composition that Alliance are running as well, by the way,
so they don't have that same information that everyone does from ring console, survey beats, etc.
etc. So instead they've just brought a wall step.
Asia. Oh, that's Rourke!
That may be interesting. Dexter now left with his own though.
Unlimit still with two on their feet.
And Team Heretics are coming in to try and look at this one.
The fuse.
Use that knuckle cluster to get a little bit further than it used to be.
A little two back in the day to escape some of the danger incoming.
Team Heretics with the perfect third pass, the opportunity.
to the bottom six. Two teams
are in pretty similar positions
in those overall standings as
well. Heretics down in 28 Gen
G in 26, both somewhat
vulnerable to elimination, I
would say in their current
points total. So you want to be
adding a little bit more than
accumulating some of those points
so that you can get further away
from said elimination spots and
make it a little bit more
difficult for the chasing pack.
Because even though we assume
the bigger teams are going to be
getting the points and those in
Suddenly, those teams in the bottom six, all of them start to perform and find wins.
The pace is alive, and he says,
POOSE!
I was going to say, he's certainly not thriving at this point, but...
Being confused makes it a little bit more fun to be playing on your own, I would say.
Does have the option of the craft in next room, but it looks like Gen.G are trying to think something similar.
I think I'll limit them, the pace of deciding that maybe the craft was looking a bit busier than I wanted it to,
So they are scapuring away out there trying to just survive.
And luckily for Gen G, heretics attention on a limit.
As Gen G, I think, were able to hit said crafter.
So perhaps we'll see them back into the map.
Now all these teams that have been able to find their way over
closer towards Lightning Brawler, now started to realize that
they're not going to be alone, it's going to be an unnervy time
going into the next zone. Everything's going to head back down south.
I think they just hit a survey beacon. It has to be a survey beacon.
You can see the flat. I've just lost two by the looks of things down in that
Spina cave. In fact, they're up on the high ground.
The last player alive is taken down. Flat are eliminated and Nemesis,
the third in this group at the moment after that win that we saw a little bit earlier
on Olympus, pick up a couple of easy KP here.
Another team that's currently in the top six as well in the overall standings.
this is going to be a good
game. I feel like they need
kneeback tower to probably
reposition because if they
try and brute force it through
Lightning Rod, it's already
going to go well. Yeah, the
only real option is the zip
line, but that's going to be
risky with the amount of teams
that can be in front of them.
Where do you go to is the real
question. You can see on our
map overhead, very, very busy,
as you would expect in and
around that zone. R R Q.
I think underneath the cannon here, just to the south of Elrod here.
Sentinel's bubbling up to get a little bit of loot here.
It's going to be a little quiet here as everybody outside of Gen.G and Unlimit, by the way,
who both have respawned and got back to a full three, are inside of the zone.
Heretics are going to have a mythic binge just pop up as well,
just to keep you abreast of everything that is going down.
the game. I'm not sure if it's
the right way to go down, but
with that zone pool now,
everyone is going to know where
they have to go. And all of a
sudden, everyone was in zone,
and as you can see on the map
overhead, not a lot of people
are. You mentioned Falcons and
Wolves. They called this one
early. Nip have done very well
with their position and
alliance on their late arrival.
They would have liked where
Falcons were. I think we had
the similar read from Hackey's
that Hal had had, and then he
saw it was already taken. But
the benefit of being where
that position away from them.
This is the unfortunate side of the zone at the moment,
this western side.
No one is really going to enjoy this route through.
I think Gen. G has been able to get out of the eye sight
of Heretics.
This is the three-team dance that's been going on
for their mini-game.
Team Heretics, Gen. G, and Unlimit,
and they're still all very close to each other at the moment.
Team Heretics still have a long way to go.
No, I think they've just given up on trying to hold out Genji, because it's a time that they've got left on this zone.
Speaking of time, it looks like Shopify are rebellion and they've got to apply some because Elite Esports are pushing onto them.
And Elite Esports are getting some good damage. It's actually going to be Team Heretic from distance here, who get one of those knocks, light, answers back himself.
Zap and Fone are both down. Only one player alive here for Shopify Rebellion and Elite do a fantastic job of cleaning them up.
Rejective just been eliminated in the meantime. Here comes Team Heretics. They're trying to push on this. Well, look how healthy Elite are.
Elite are primed and ready, and actually, Heretics decide better on to this one. But all in that meantime, Gen.G has actually been able to get past Heretics,
and now NIP are transitioning south to deny the move from Gen.G, which Gen.G is now going to get pinched between Heretics, and I take it back.
Heretics have gone back and forth again and said, no, we don't fancy that fight either.
Genji aren't safe, they have to lift this next building and Dexter's going to get the
bank smokes down to try and make that cross a little bit more comfortable.
Ninjas and pyjamas have retreated back up to the height and the high ground overlooking
this.
Elite Esports just kind of got a little pipe, but Genji are safe.
Genji have actually pulled off a little bit of a magnet here by getting somewhere safe.
Well it's because NOP didn't want to give up their genuine position, they were just
kind of trying to apply a little bit of pressure and presence.
They had to focus on the bigger task at hand that was the final circle
Which they already had a swap in is now shop before rebellion happened to use this bubble just to stay alive right now
Okay, he's for the feeling that is one of the teams inside of our top three in the last game
Not many points for them in this game
They were trapped over the north side of lightning rod and did not manage to escape shop by rebellion
Look at a move up now nice break coming in from zap
But the reason now coming as well on all of a sudden team heretics are making this one interesting great
Shots coming in from Kurtz, Phony having to reload the RE45.
Well that thing is naked in guns.
He's got himself an L-star in his hand.
Unleavened, eliminated in the meantime.
Offscreen.
Gen.G are coming back, by the way.
They can hear all this commotion and they are smelling blood.
They know they have an opportunity to pick up some KV.
And you've got four teams in the same area.
Shopify Rebellion and Gen.G, the ones that are pinchering this.
Pinchering this, excuse me.
And it is what's the first thing to fall in this kill.
Fuck all that's happening on this side of the zone.
Kurosawa having their fall elsewhere, and Team Heretic's survivability by the way,
very, very impressive through all of this, using the Gibby bubble, using the new castle,
just to survive, but they have to take the zipline now to try and get somewhere near the zone.
Interestingly elsewhere with Gen.G giving up that position, it's allowed at NRP to apply more pressure onto them as well,
so probably another engagement that could be happening down between those two teams.
As with the zone shift, it does move away from the likes of Falcon to Wolves and actually Team Nemesis,
but now found themselves in prime position as team Heretics on this survival run
and now they're going to find themselves just underneath Stormcatcher here.
Yarns still looking to use that Elstar. That was not going to last too long,
but the Castle Wall will slow things down. And that's Dory, the team who really are
on the struggle bus. When it comes to points, and when it comes to this fight as well,
we can dance, but only one of us is going to be able to tango here. Yarns left on his own,
Waiting for the rest to come in, he will fall!
Team Heretics are down, and Dory to Viper!
The power of Nugasol once more, demonstrating right in front of our very eyes.
12 squads now remain.
As again, it's about just making sure you get back up and get as healthy as possible.
Every point matters here with Dory.
First purchase eliminated in the meantime, Dory hit the zipline!
Nugasol is still up, which means that Kasukin can at least drag teammates back to their feet,
He's taking damage from the lanes.
Dory, get the bubble down at just the right time.
But here comes Zynu.
Here comes Shopify.
And Dory's game is over.
Nine squads remain.
Zynu, it cost him his life,
and it might cost Shopify as well.
Well, Shopify were just looking for some KP here.
Because they knew it was probably going to be pretty dismal
from this point onwards anyway.
They finish in ninth place and do get some extra points on the board.
RRQ also in that feed onto Shopify rebellions.
Now, Wolves maybe looking to try and push up onto this one.
as VKG would be eliminated.
VKG are gone.
Wolves still alive, who are here early, remember.
The shots coming down from the skies are hurting,
and its sentinels are now sending it onto ROQ's sentinels
with the wipe.
And they barely took a tick of damage in doing so.
Oh, and Lyon's going to push onto sentinels though.
They've slenced them, they maybe have to move away from their spot.
And they are going to have a high ground,
they're just waiting for this bubble to dissipate.
Here's the bastard again.
Because I'm lucky again, but he's down, Alliance are down, the armour dip too much and Sentinels are monsoon, say I've got a master for my own!
One more bubble comes out and Falcons now are going to be the next to take a look at this one, but can Sentinels hold on?
Again, it's a difficult fight to take, but Falcons, they are not shielded very well.
Well they had the castle wall to fall behind their Sentinels, that's why Falcons didn't want to push that.
They knew that they would have had a disadvantage in that fight.
Not only were the armours like you quite rightly highlight, but also pushing over the top of that wall.
Now the move comes in from Ninja's Input Jarvis. Wolves have a little scrap with Team Nemesis at the moment who was sent as own.
And Nemesis are down to just Skiddle Cakes.
Now means that Sentals and Falcons are outsiders as this zone closes in.
And Wolves, Nemesis, NIP are all going to be watching these two teams arrive, but Nemesis has caught down to just one now.
Well nobody's looking at Skiddle Cakes. The Wraith portal is down here for Sentals to try and find somewhere to play.
Wolves will be safe on this edge of zone behind the new castle wall as well, so they are set up beautifully here.
Sentries get a knock onto NIP, they are sending it onto NIP, and at the moment they are winning.
One-two gets the second NIP out.
The momentum seems to be with Sentials in these close range fights.
Wolves still looking at all of the carnage going down in front of them.
And somehow Skull Cakes is still alive.
But for how long he's trying to send it towards Falcon's position here.
This might be the end of their game and indeed it will be Team Nemesis eliminated.
Three squads remaining in our final battle here on Stormpoint.
Worth knowing only the one Gibraltar left here in the lobby and that is Sentinels.
They're going to be running Gibby, Watson and Wraith.
Whereas Wolves have got the new castle as do Falcons.
But Falcons also have a pass finder which allows the zip.
It comes central, so the damage he's done to Hal, and the armor not looking too healthy for them.
Factor 2 finds one, it's a trade, Prince is slides behind with the R9 to find another, Hal's trying to grapple away.
Wolves moving up onto the high grounds, pieces of pointeams in front of them, but can they collect them and collect the win?
If one's trying to bounce off, he's trying to get away, see if he can reset a little bit.
As Hal's unable to do so, Falcons go down, and Wolves he sports, now it's just a simple 3v1.
Blink stuff.
You don't get to take me down because I'm in the void.
And even though you hit the e-back,
Wolves will be your champions.
And a lot of Wolves fans here in Paris
who celebrate to be only the long side Sentinels fans
because it's still a huge game for Sentinels.
to the bottom six as they can
start to look forward now. Maybe
another win in match six. There
could be a match point finals
possibility on the cards as for
sentials. They jumped up into
the top eight now in those
overalls. No chance. Look at
what they're hitting for, but
just the last two games. They
just have to be able to get
the ball out of the way. They
just have to be able to get the
ball out of the way. They've
got to be able to get the ball
out of the way. They've got to
They're hitting form at just the right time.
Couple of those bubble fights.
They're pretty saucy.
Martin says just one more game.
To be fair, if Sentinels can put a similar performance up,
minimum 12 points.
Their match point finals chances are looking pretty good.
As for some of our other champions,
of course we have our world champions in Sentinels,
but we have our reigning EWC champions in the lobby as well
They're in 16th place right now, so they are on the cusp of those top 14 positions.
The game from VKG might solidify a straight slingshot into that match point finals, but it would have to be quite some game.
We give them a bit of credit as well, so the zone call actually coming in from Falcons early off that zone 2 off the ring console,
just immediately moving to that building, really, really good for them.
And that pretty much guaranteed that the top five.
The arm of difference in the end, I think,
is a little bit of what made that final five difficult for them.
The Sentinels.
This is where Monsoon thrives.
This is where Blinxer and Fun thrive.
Bubble fights, close range, shotguns in hand.
We know historically what they've been able to do.
That's really like the fact that Sentinels
had the Gibby still to work with.
We saw how important Gibraltar was
in so many of those engagements.
And actually the left over Newcastle wall helped out sent it was at one point as well, but in the end it was wolves who capitalised on the engagement that happened between seven Falcons.
Even though seven did not win that game, you can still see they celebrate.
Because they know how big those points are going to be for the chances of match point finals.
Yeah, if Blinxel won that, we would not stop speaking about it.
Even with the armors swap, unfortunately that box was empty.
Came up a little bit empty handed on that one, but...
I think everybody who's a
Sentinels fan will know how
important that match was. And
from where they had to rotate
center of Jurassic to where
they got to, for those amount
of KP, you'll take that every
single day. And as we look at
the other end of the leadboard,
Dory are still in the danger
zone at the moment. If Dory do
not find a minimum of seven
points going into this next
match, they will be eliminated
right here, right now in match
six. But other teams who are
outside of the elimination phase
the team. The team that
has been in the game for a
long time. The teams who are
still struggling. Kurosami
Habak team heretics Gen G. Those
three also very much in
danger as we look at the match
results and the points that were
recubulated here. Sentels
arguably did win that game. Yeah
when you look at points total
14 Kp alongside the nine for the
second place is 23 points in
total. Team Falcons. Just the
that one. But for now, before we get into match number six, I want to catch up with my good
friends because we've got Graceful down on the main stage with Reinde. What's up, boys?
I appreciate it, man. We're bringing the green room on stage. Graceful, a chance for me and
you to kind of wax poetic on what's been going on here over the last few games. I started
off with Snipe after game two talking about, well, these three teams are important. Elite
Esports, Alliance and NIP. Well, now the narrative has changed. For the reasons, I think that
and Alliance fans will be very happy,
but also the same for Elite Esports
who continue their dominance.
Talk about what you've seen so far from those two.
I mean, Elite, we've said the same thing over and over again.
They're still staying consistent across the board.
They're still dominating.
They're almost doubled everybody's point
in this tournament so far,
but I think everybody's absolutely accelerated.
It's me as well.
I just want to go up right now and hug my friend.
You know, they pretty much made it through
to the next round of Alliance.
I'm so proud of you.
As well, I would like to give a big shout out to Nemesis as well.
Yes.
NIP, we saw Wolves now as well, take it home.
Everybody's just absolutely top-notch, but one thing in mind though, these are all experienced teams.
Yes, that's true. And how does experience factor now? You've done something well.
You would assume it's only up from here, right? They've made their mistakes early.
Now, who's going to stop a team like Alliance who has found their rhythm?
I mean, they might have found their rhythm right now in this lobby currently.
It should keep the ball rolling because like we said, sometimes you just need a snowball to
start and that motivation, that something you just have to push forward and that will naturally
loose and you up and you start playing your normal game. However, the lobby also changes
up because 14 teams move on and you're fighting the remainder essentially and I mean we'll
have to see if they can keep that form up.
Yeah, this final game is super important. A.I.P. another team that was kind of in that zone
and falling out of it and having another set to be played later this afternoon so they
didn't want to wait and watch. Have they done that for you so far to feel comfortable?
For now, yes. But this is not looking like a top five right now. We need a little bit
And you mentioned Wolves obviously taking that last one. It was again another APAC conversation after game 2.
They've done a great job of getting into final circles. They couldn't close out game 2, but this final game really good from that team as a 3.
Obviously Sentinels had some good team fighting moments as well. What have you seen from Wolves and are we not talking about them enough as a contender to potentially win this tournament?
I mean, I would say we talked quite a lot about them going into the tournament, hyping them up from their region, coming out so strong, and then the Canada's fell short.
But, I would like to say the difference between them now and the previous case, they're being proactive.
You saw in that last game, they're taking the fight's two teams now, instead of letting the game play them out.
Instead of just watching the game fly by and you're like, hey, this one is moving here, I guess, we just follow, they're looking for opportunities, they're pushing team, they're taking fight, and they're winning them.
So they need, they know they can do it, they need to keep this up.
The best players in this sport, after 50 minutes go by in a 90 minute match, the World Cup on tonight,
you get an understanding of what's going wrong, what's going right, and then you make adjustments.
In a series like this, when you're an experienced team, what do those adjustments look like?
After three or four, you go, okay, here's how it's going.
What does that look like? Being in these shoes, at land, in these moments, how would you handle that,
and how are these teams handling that now, going into the final game?
I mean, honestly, it really depends on what your team is playing for.
If you're just paying to not get relegated, you're terrified.
Because teams that are safe are already looking to just interview.
So you have to make sure that you're keeping track of teams and having that awareness.
This is why when we scrimmage, we keep track of other teams' macros,
so that you can also keep track of the leaderboard.
I saw right now while we walked up, everybody's counting all of these points,
because they know, okay, if we rotate north, all of those teams are safe, we gotta avoid them.
They're gonna absolutely A plus the seed of unity,
where it's like, okay, these guys are actually on the bottom side.
Maybe we do an edge rotate this time and we fight the other team that are scared
because we're more confident than they are.
And he just comes to a scrap for the,
it's the bottom feeders fighting for the, for the scrap to the, for the scrap.
They're gonna lead these boards and now Alliance have taken up so many of the points.
We'll see how this game six turns out still fighting for a chance,
not only in the survival stage, but to stay at the EWC
because six teams after this might just be going home.
Let's send it back to the casters to keep telling the tale.
that's what it's like for some
of these guys on the main stage.
But now it comes down to crutch
time. It's going to be match six.
It is do or die for some of these
teams in one in particular.
It's going to be a little bit
different from what we've seen
in the last few years.
But of course, as a previous pro
player himself, he lives and
breathes it. He knows exactly
what it's like for some of these
guys on the main stage.
teams in particular. And then
it's going to be a lot of
nails being bitten as they
watch the other two groups
being played out here. Are you
going to qualify for match point
finals? Will you be heading into
the survival stage? Or will you
be in one of those dreaded
bottom six positions where your
key gets crushed and you go
home? Well, if you watch him
right now and you're a bit of a
neutral, you just enjoying the
A pace legends and you're looking
for a team to root for the
camaraderie fan is all I'm
We were sat in that bottom six, but at the end of this game, unfortunately, may have their tournament ending.
So if you've got a little bit of extra energy, you're looking for a team to support.
I want to hear some dory love coming from the crowd.
Yeah, because it would be a shame, wouldn't it, after these matches to send one team home already
without actually seeing everyone play and the whole points total being put together.
That being said, we do have to send 16s home, so it is inevitable that it is going to happen.
match six. It's locked. They've
loaded its storm point for one
last ride. Here we go then. Last
time the group B and C will play
the last match here on store
point of the last opportunity.
To solidify if it's finals. If
it's elimination. Or if you're
moving on to the survival
stage tomorrow, which by the
way, when we tell you about the
then they have to play.
It is going to be a long one for these players competing when they're in that survival stage.
We'll get to that a little bit later, though, because now we're going to focus on the task at hand.
It's about trying to survive.
As the ring console is popped and the zone is revealed, we're going to be heading west.
Now, interestingly, you might remember before game four, I said, the middle, one of the worst performing POIs.
not the worst performing POI on
Stormpoint so far this tournament.
Here's the chance to change those
numbers. Let's change the numbers
a little bit. RQ. You've got this
ring console as well. The zone is
going your way. It's like a
basically a beam zone as well.
So where it pulls, I have to wait
and see. Maybe a little third
beacon will be very, very handy
for some of these teams. But
as far as where the zone is going,
teams who have got to make their
I mean, if they get one point
away and they get eliminated
later, so be it. But I don't
want to Dory pop off, right?
Exactly. I want to see them have
the chance to at least watch and
think they have the possibility
of going through, even if it's
unlikely. As all the teams now
are starting to move west also
want to bring up the fact that
by the way elite might have been
cursed by me. I mean, it's
by the way, elite might have been cursed by me.
They were dominating this group.
They were looking like they were going to win
all three of their group stage matches
and now they find themselves down in third.
But they do still have this last chance to make history
and go unbeaten and win every single group stage
that they are presented with.
They are six points behind the lights right now.
A limit from Gen G.
They're very, very close to each other at Barometer
and a limit are doing a limit things,
which is running at them.
Now, I could argue that Gen G are doing Gen G things,
They're also looking to run at them.
Either way, someone's going to run at someone.
Someone has to die.
The real question is, does someone run away during that fight,
because often that cool is made?
It's an important fight as well, because the winner of this fight
has the free rotation on the southern side through cenote,
and they can simply take that Western route.
Come on, Lemon.
Why are you running?
Well, that was almost a guarantee.
I think a lot of these teams
have been taken a look at not
to mention the survey beacon.
Which is where unlimited are
heading towards a limit go up
towards the survey beacon.
NIP get their evil harvester,
and they say that's their side
quest completed.
That's team Falcons taking a lot
of bullets in the backside.
GK who are behind the moment
is trying to go to Zeus, maybe
to hit that balloon.
You towards the evil
harvester this morning.
You see they haven't managed to
hit one to get up to blue.
They're just going to have to
take a few more seconds to get
up to blue.
They're just going to have to
They're just going to have to take a few more seconds to do so to find their way towards Stormcatcher, so maybe that's where another Evo Harvester is.
I think there's an opportunity to say, by the way, that Guild, in my personal opinion, I think I might have said this on broadcast before.
Is the funniest person in the Apex Legends Global Series?
I can confirm that.
Is the funniest person in the Apex Legends Global Series. Best one-liners without a doubt.
It's the second time you've said it this time.
And I will say it more.
It's the third time you said it is split. Yeah, and not I've been tracking. I would say any opportunity
He's my favorite character. I can confirm on set does regularly send me stream clips
Oh funny things
Liners
Off whether he means to be honest
I'm a big killed guy, what can I say?
No spiders allowed aren't they?
As wolves now are gonna jump a little bit though.
That's to turn my headset down.
It's interesting to see the positions that are currently being taken up because no one
really knows where this zone is gonna finish by the way.
There is the potential that it shifts one way or another, I know that sounds like a stupid
thing to say but some of these zones are a little bit easier to read where it's guaranteed
to pull all that way in. Some are banking on it pulling back towards CETO station a little bit here.
Well, everywhere you look at it's known it's another one that doesn't have a huge amount of
naturally playable space. The fact that you're from so has been banned in match five as well
makes it even more difficult for our teams to try and hold down a spot. A lot of them are going to
try and get their backs to a rock and get that castle wall down a little bit later on and then
get the gen down behind it in the Watson. I've seen a lot of Watson and Newcastle in the compositions
I'm going to give you a couple
of other things, which synergy
is very good between those two
legends. Get into the sport is
going to be another thing. I'll
find that we see in a fair bit
of a little bit of rampart in
the lobby as well. Little bit
of fuse as well, Spyro. There's
a sprinkler of different things
actually axles in a couple of
compositions. Bangalore. I'm
just gonna list every legend
in the game. Even some ulcers
as well, which. You know, we
It's funny how that dynamic changes when you move over to Storm Point.
It's going to be flat and GK running the altar as well, so they'll have that portal opportunity.
A lot of teams again showing their respect to one another on their rotation, avoiding gunfights at the moment.
We still have 20 teams left, zone one is about to complete.
It's closed and we will get to see actually a little bit more information on zone three and where we're going to be heading.
that. Alliance might be
sending it onto flat. They've
certainly been up to bully
their way into zone at the
moment, but they are aware of
flat presence. There's a few
too many footsteps of both
teams enjoyed. I was just going
to back up a little bit closer
to our QZM Big League.
We wait with a breath to see
where that next zone is going
to be going. We are hard
pulling into mill. Is it going
to highlight, though, our team
that is down in the danger zone,
Dory. They are on a long old
rotation down from Echo into
Coastal. They are hitting as much
information as they can, or
perhaps Mark, they're trying to
keep their tournament alive for as
long as possible here. The longer
of match six, they see the more
and they've only moved to Coastal Camp, but now they're into Barometer to get more information.
The snail rotate coming in from Dori.
Dori are opting to play the Newcastle Pathfinder Watson composition.
It does offer them a lot of options for mobility and also some security as well with the two
defensive legends to work with. But Gen G, I mean it's been an interesting journey for them leading
up to this point they're currently on 68 points on the overalls which I would say is a dangerous
total if they were to be eliminated here with the teams that are still able to play.
I'm gonna push yourself up a little bit more just to give you an idea the current cutoff
for bottom six is 50 dead. There's so many of those teams down in that area still have to play.
I'm going to be too worried about anything, any funny business coming in from NIP here
considering that it's not a huge amount of after in the lobby and certainly they are not running it.
They won't have to move almost in for a few moments, Simon. NIP then become a problem.
They're not going to be safe inside of this zone, still just under two minutes until they do have to
move. The Injury Majama's will be safe, but Geron Simon have it. They're going to do something about
We get to the later stages, so a lot of these Watson teams are going to be relying on these
gens to keep them alive.
So it has to be a target for teams who aren't running, and what really has to be true.
Sorry, the gens completely.
It is worth checking in on Dory constantly, because if they do die in this game, they are
out.
It would be our first team confirmed out of the tournament and key to be crushed.
The bad news for them is that elite esports are in Sonota K right now and they are firing down onto them.
Perfect flight to take, they've already won it once so far.
True.
Kurosamehabbit are also looking at it so this deep zone rotation from Dori
is looking a little bit sketchy, if you ask me.
They don't want anyone who's in the tournament to eliminate them but the ring, it would seem.
They do have to be careful because even though they've been taking a long time and I'm sure it builds up a lot of meds
If they have to go back into the zone after being forced out once more it's gonna be uncomfortable
Well, it's not a hidden evac right now. Maybe it's the fight
I'm keeping updated on doorage movements
I'll let it
GK are behind them at the moment of peppering them a little bit in front of them. We're gonna be elite force from Gen G. Gen G is still inside
of the armory in front of them.
And now they're going to be safe.
You can see the top left.
They are safe inside of this zone,
so a limit don't really have to do too much here.
Well, I think a lot of teams feel the same way.
We don't need to move.
We need more information
because we don't want to commit
as the zone continues
to transition a little bit further west.
Somewhat southwest than it was before,
so great news for Kurosawa Habuk.
And actually, if Dori can somehow
wedge their way into zone,
Dori, Dori, Dori, it could be massive.
massive, but again look at the
troubles they're going to go
through, trying to force
themselves in. It's not just
Kurosami, it's NIP that are
there as well.
This is the most
infested in the game.
I'm a lifelong Dory fan.
Over to unlimited again, a
little bit of damage being
taken. Dory making their play.
Dory making their play.

And unfortunately their tournament is over as well
to be eliminated here at EWC and the ALGS split one playoffs.
And finally Mark, it's not being so invested.
We can start a look now over towards its Falcons versus Alliance.
And two of the Alliance have gone down.
One has been able to escape to keep Alliance in the fray,
but it's a successful hold of Mill for Team Falcons.
Wiping away a tear. Sorry.
It's always next to you.
Maybe we can make a request that Mark has to crush the key of Dorian.
Come on now.
Well, that happens with that teamfight, like you say. Get some good damage, get a couple of KP to their name.
Now, Gen G, they're involved in this fight around the Armory. They've been trying to hold it for quite some time, and holding they do.
GKE Sports will be eliminated second in the lobby. A little armor swap being dropped off.
And the Dexter can grab that on his way back to his feet.
Zicky pops to that, and Genji will hold.
Some of these teams that are on the north-eastern side
have kind of been a bit mischievous.
Here they are, Wolves versus Shopify Rebellion.
Rebellion are the ones that are being held out by Wolves at the moment.
They have the castle wall down, and they are applying the pressure.
So Shopify Rebellion, looking to see if they can rotate around this mountain instead.
And Genji are fighting once again by loads of things,
although that may have been a knock from distance onto Asia.
VT from the God Rocks finally do some damage and they're gonna be real damage output
Masters with the positions they have the problem is the zone is pulling away from them and the interesting pajamas now find themselves in prime position
Zone is continuing to pull towards left the RRQ. They will have to move to the south although they will be safe for the next zone
The Shopify rebellion they've got a long way to go. Territ team heretics just been eliminated
And Zackman's gonna have to blast his way forward here with that Krayber in his hands
lucky still alive here for Alliance. Heretics eliminated on 66 points as a total. That is a
not a comfortable number to be on. They are certainly going to be watching with fated breath
as we get into the next set of groups. Flat have just lost two as well. Falcons and Nemesis working
hand and hand to eliminate them. So Flat do go down. Falcons have got quite the rotate to make
as well. Now, how does that zip line available? We've taken the purple pike to give him two of them.
One has been used, and he's still got one in the arsenal of pathfinders he used to get them a
little bit closer to this zone when they have to make that play, but the team's still surrounding them,
leaving at any point as a risk taking that damage.
It's going to make that landing a little bit more difficult to stick.
And it's a very important game for Falcons as well, because even though they have most likely
secured their spot in the match point finals, it's about being as high a seed as possible for that
POI draft. You're not catching elite esports, you know that. You want to try and set the pace
above the likes of AG Global and Team Liquid who go to his next series. Genji are having a Genji game
right now where they're winning fight after fight, a limit are down, and it's Genji again.
It will be the benefactors. From the Fire Rebellion though, they're looking to swoop in,
the Kickstar drone is down. Asia just about manages to take it down. It's a 3v2 though,
3v1 Dexter's on his arm and it's Shopify. You get the feeling they won't lose this one.
Gigi are gone. They fall, but it's a better point slower than they were about 20 minutes ago,
so they may have just done enough. Again, though, they will be keeping a keen eye on these next
matches. They're going through a Shopify rebellion. Just force their way back into zone now. I mean,
they have to. They have no choice. Lone is at their back. Zap's got a craper in his hand.
Lone is burning. Feudal is down, but Shopify just too much to ask.
But by holding out a shot by KineTrope Club have just been eliminated and it looks like
the boys are back in form, they had a couple of quiet games in the leading spots, they're
back in the game.
Unlucky just falls for Alliance, the solo is dealt with and Alliance will be gone in
this lobby.
Eleven squats remain.
Well Alliance going down does give the opportunity to Elite for Elite to take the lead in this
series now as Virtus Pro also get eliminated.
Could we see Elite go back to back to back with their group stage series and with every
single one. Nemesis on the hype, down to a duo. Inside of this building is RRQ, they've
got here early. And down on the low ground underneath is Team Falconz. And Alb finds
Walsy. We were talking about weapons that are synonymous with players. Well, let's talk
about legends. This man knows parts better than anyone. And with the angles that he's
taking you can see exactly why. I love this position from Nemesis in the half in particular.
It's not going to be a safe one, come this zone moving in 20 seconds, so they need to
have a game plan effect as Falcons still survive and using the geometry in their favour here
to survive. RRQ if you just lost Prycee and Easy Flash. So they're going to be down to
You're just a solo now.
So difficult to push at this point, regardless of if you get that first knock,
because you have Falcons underneath. Nemesis is a duo, by the way, doing a huge amount of work here.
RRQ, they're going to lose pricey, so now they're down to a duo.
This makes Falcons' job a little bit easier actually on their rotate, knowing that there's two duos around them.
You get less inclined to try and fight, and having seen the damage been done,
Falcons now make their play forward, but there's a lot of angles that they're vulnerable from.
And Gildenhauer both down to two different teams.
Zip, zip, hooray. Both teams zipped in.
Both teams have gone down by the looks of it.
At least lost a couple.
RRQ will be finally eliminated as well.
That last minute player could not get away.
Nine squads now remain as Falcons also go down to Nemesis this time.
Somehow, Nemesis are going on to Falcons once more.
Steve Falcons should be eliminated.
A combination of the lobby taking care of the American's powerhouse.
KSH, they're in a stinger bolt.
And they managed to just about survive.
Team Nemesis have fallen.
Good KP picked up.
Couple of extra points for them as their way towards the zone was always looking treacherous.
So now as we look at teams who have got a good position going into this final circle,
NIP sentinels are in a good spot as well.
trying to hold up. Elite at the moment is going to be just kind of the last remaining player alive
and their chances of winning every single group dies with him, but it was still an incredible one
and they are still going to be the number one team going into these next group stage matches.
Wolves look different, another win. DK gaming just been eliminated, but a much better game from them in the top six.
They have the ultimate height that you can see on your screens right now with RC below them, wolves now below them as well, and sentinels tucked in right alongside them.
By the way, going into this game, they were very much at risk and vulnerable,
and whilst they still will be in those dangerous numbers, they're at 67 points!
Apex led into the 100 game!
Kurosami had no idea!
Last thing we're about to beat around that corner.
And reject by name, they reject, then try to take their spot away.
Have they done enough, Kurosami?
It's a good match, six from them, to give them the chance.
As now NIP at the start of the day, it was a question of what if, but they have solidified their spot at least in the survival stage.
Monsoon for the Bastiff, Greenhawk, Maurice, has to play behind the knockdown.
I've got to drag from back to his feet here, but it's actually allowed both players to get back up.
Monsoon for the Chunk!
But here come Wolves, they swing to clean up the final pieces of both Sentinels and RC.
Oh, see, Sunport takes someone, somewhere.
We'll have to see if there was a return address on it.
Reject will be eliminated. Ninja Zip Ajam is now versus Wolves Eastport.
Some Wolves down on the low ground are going to have to watch NIP fall.
This one might be a slow-witted, praying for death, but Wolves...
...things we can play here.
They're just going to hold the belt.
There's one from Colton.
And he's hungry for more.
Cole wants to finish this off himself!
NIP!
On back!
They will win the final game here!
In this series, and the darts from yesterday have evaporated!
And the question is, have Lidget and Pajama done enough to give themselves a chance at the match point finals?
It looks like that answer is no, and it is most likely a survival stage run for NIP.
But still an incredible final match for them and they got the job that they set out to do, duck.
Not be eliminated from the competition at the first four most, but also put themselves as high up as you can
so you get a good POI draft going into that survival stage.
And now this is where it does get interesting. Two groups have completed all their games, they have set the pace
pace and now it's for the rest of these groups A and D to start chasing now they will become
professionals at praying on the downfall of others which is always a horrible sometimes fun
place to be in depending on what end of the leaderboard you are at but they will know what they
have managed to achieve they will know what their points totals are and they will know what will
be enough and what won't come the end of the next series which has come up a little bit later today
I think it was the rap from Dory that just caused the chaos up on the high ground there was just jump up clean that up and then they had no challenge essentially for the rest of the game.
not only did they get the early rotate to get the height, but I think it was the wrap from Dory
that just caused the chaos up on the high ground. They were able to just jump up, clean that up,
and then they had no challenge, essentially, for the rest of the game.
This reminded me, Dory got eliminated last week.
Genuinely though, it is very sad to see our first team eliminated from the competition,
but for NIP, they will be delighted to get that victory on the board.
Just to give you an idea of the lay of the land and where those numbers are
who currently holds the cutoff positions. It's going to be RRQ who currently sits in 14th to 104 points
as the chasing total for teams who want to get into match point finals.
And down in the elimination stage, Dog Red currently hold the last eliminated position at 50,
chasing Aurora's 51, which is the current cutoff. There are plenty of points to be found because
if you bear in mind that in this group in particular of what we just saw, and you're going to see it
you can see the bottom teams
putting up. Yes 15 odd points
on the board. So you're still
going to be worried that even a
bad performance might catch you.
Wolves. I guess 17 points on
board in that game.
Take a look at that. Doesn't
matter what the series results
are. That's what we're really
focusing on here. So I kind of
line up the rest of the teams
have to do a little bit later
today. But one thing that just
being on the cutoff of not just
making it to match for fun.
I'm not talking about that.
We're talking about elimination.
Elimination is crazy.
Elimination is crazy, and it's
really where everyone's eyes is going to be initially
because it's easier to calculate as well.
But then when we start to think about the PR draft,
don't remind him already, but
it's the key of Dory.
Now, it's going to be crushed the first to be crushed today.
There must be some way I can negotiate.
Not going in there.
It's going in there.
It's going in there.
It's an updated crusher as well from last year. New and improved. I've heard it crushes harder.
Crush is not like it's never crushed before.
Exhausted are the players as they were put through the ring is that
as now they're only going to be able to watch on and see what happens with the other teams that
are involved. R R Q. It wasn't
necessarily the best series for
them. They finished down in 17th.
But because of their day one
performances in particular. It's
still going to be alive in this
competition. Really can see how
much it takes out the players
usually between games to see
people kind of taking a second
to take a breath. But when it
is done, you could see like the
mental efforts that go into it.
the intensity of every single moment. A lot of time to recover here for these players, and maybe
not a lot of time to recover emotionally as they're going to have to watch these points
be collected by the teams in front of them. But Barney down on the floor right now. Barney,
who have you found? If I'm not mistaken, that looks like unlucky.
And that right there is how you turn a frown upside down. I'm joined by unlucky here from
a very different mood today, we could say, right? Game 4, 4.5k damage, you absolutely went nuclear.
Talk about today. Just talk about today in general as an overview and how much happier you boys must be.
Honestly, like overall, the game started like really good. You know, first game we had like 10
points and the day in general always started very, very well for us. So that got like the ball kind
of rolling. Zones were really unlucky for us overall again today, like the past two days.
I'm probably finally got his own in game four and we popped off from 21 kills charged my boys. They actually play phenomenal. So, yeah
They did indeed now, you know, I've got a touch base a little bit more about day one and two
I know that we spoke to hackers yesterday
He very graciously gave us an interview which obviously must have been tough because you guys had a word
Having an uphill battle let's say in day one and two from your perspective
I know we talked about zone pools beings a struggle. Was there anything else that you are having some issues with on day one and two?
Honestly, I think as you said already, the zones were really, really unlucky for us,
but we were lacking in, I personally would say, for myself and confidence and self-belief.
And believing in myself, like, in the edge fights, we kept losing fights, and I was like,
mainly, you know, I would say confidence, because our comps were good, our bites were
good always, and yeah, I think it's literally confidence.
So did you come into today with a lot more positivity in mind, and that's why you kind
of popped off?
What do you think contributed to this performance today?
I would say definitely like a mental reset have to be done right after the first two days. Otherwise, it would be chalk, right?
But yeah, I would just say positive vibes was the key after those past two days because it was really, really terrible.
I was like, at least personally down the trenches, like I was like down all the way here.
So, yeah, I'm happy to be here now wherever you are.
Well, speaking about being happy, I've got to tell you one more time before we let you go.
I've got to give a shout out to your boys, but also a shout out to the fans who have come here to support.
How much does it mean to you to have them there in the crowd shouting for you guys?
They are the loudest in the arena right now. So we're delighted to give some love to them
Absolutely all the love in the world really like I appreciate all the guys all the sports always really amazing
We can hear you guys from all the way back here chanting
I really support you like I just I just appreciate all of you and also shout out to my dad for coming here to Paris
I love you so much. Thank you so much for coming. It really means so much to me. So yeah, thank you so much
Let's hear it for the dads. I like it. I'm lucky. Thanks so much for joining me in this interview
And we have another interview, lots and loads of you with Graceful on the other side of the stage.
Thank you Barney, as we are now here as well with Chen from Kidisame Havoc, who's just had a really tough series so far.
Actually, we're in a couple of end games where I was looking forward to you all, like, yes, he's making it through,
because I had a chance to talk to you a little bit earlier today.
I was looking forward to what composition changes you were about to do.
So, how did you feel overall when today for these couple of games?
The games today were on Irish, I think.
It wasn't the best set that we had, and it wasn't the worst one.
So hopefully, we'll play it true.
I mean, I think as long as you make it by further into the tournament,
you played good enough.
And right now, we're at the plus where you might make it, you might not make it.
It depends on the series, but I think you ended on, did you say 67?
67, yes.
Yeah, so 67 overall points could be enough to make it go through.
So now, you know, you're going to have to watch the next games,
holding your breath, maybe get some snacks and relax,
you can recoup in case you have to go back on that horse
again the next day.
But one thing that I found really interesting
when I was talking to you earlier is that you actually,
you're the Igel and you communicated on mainly English
on the old roster Supernova if I'm correct,
and now you are Igeling in Chinese, correct?
So how do you really feel the differences?
Is it easier?
Is it harder on the languages?
Since we're from Southeast Asia,
It's normal to have a person to think multiple languages.
Surprisingly, I can speak okay English, so I actually
I joined in Supernova using English.
Since my mother tongue is Chinese,
so it's easier for me to join in Chinese actually.
So actually in the beginning, it might actually be tough,
but you just have to get in the, you know what I mean?
Yeah, just have to get to the practice and eventually you'll definitely get it going
Well, I'm so happy and thankful for having this interview with you
I really hope you get some rest some food and you know you get to recuperate in case we do see it
I will hold my breath and cross my fingers to see if you make it through that like as it's gonna be really tired
Okay, so until then it was a great interview. Thank you so much for having us and hey Barney back to you
That's right graceful come on over back here because we've got another
I'm going to do another interview for you. And of course it's with the man, the IGL, the demon. It's light from elite eSports, light you guys playing so incredibly well.
We almost had a historic moment today because you almost placed top of every group stage day that you guys played in. Today it didn't quite pan out, but still a super impressive day.
As the IGL, alongside Henchman and alongside KINDER, do you feel like it's your job to not let anyone get too overconfident?
Because you guys are, you're fragging out incredibly well.
Yeah, I mean for sure there's lots of scenarios where KINDER and Henchman are like, can we kill this, can we kill this?
I'm like, just chill, we need to chill a little bit, we have good stone, we don't have to do anything.
And they're like going crazy, like, can we kill this?
They just want to kill, this line is like, I don't know, incredible performance by them.
I don't know, I'm surprised, there was no expectation from us coming into the zone to be honest.
And the boys are dragging out of their minds and I don't know what to say most of the time, it's insane.
So what's your IGL style, would you say?
Because obviously you've got these two kids, they want to frag out as much as they can.
You're holding them back and you're trying to look at zone pulls.
What's your style in particular? Do you have a particular style in mind?
I mean, I'm like the type of ideal that's always in front like I have always kind of in my back
I'm like Maggie is here just helping me
I'm in front because I want to like know what's happening
So it's easier also to call like place for me because I don't like ask kind of can we do this can we do this?
I just want to call it so it's easier for us
And I've always kind of in my back hands anchoring like we need if we need hands
We just call him and I was like just pulling our insane numbers on people like just
you know, you're not going to
be able to do that. You're
not going to be able to do that.
You're just dragging out of the
mind and it's just like doing
really well, and again, it's just
easy. It's easy. I mean, before I
let you go. Sports World Cup. It's
got to be a great experience for
you guys so far. You said that
there wasn't any expectations
coming into this tournament. You're
now. I mean, we can all assume
I'm pretty sure it's a guarantee
you're through to the final day
on Saturday tomorrow. You've got
the day off Saturday. What's the
expectation for you guys now
But now it's got to be all about winning in your mind, right?
I mean, as the coach taught me, you just play our game and what happens happens.
If we do bad, so be it.
But we're aiming to win it, of course, and yeah, I mean, that's it.
We're just trying to win. What happens happens.
Light, you've got a good head on your shoulders, my man.
Thank you so much for joining me in this interview.
Congratulations to E-Sports for performing incredibly well over the last three days of the group stage.
But we've got plenty more action to come, so don't go anywhere.
We'll be back after this short break.
Welcome back to another club
championship update where things
are heating up here for apex
legends on stage number two.
Now, if you're wondering how
things are going so far, very
surprising outcomes out of
elite Esports absolutely dominating the competition and finding themselves in the top spot. We do see
a recognizable face in Team Liquid in our top three, Team Falcons down there in sixth, but overall
the story really is all about elite Esports and what they've been bringing to the table here
in the group stage. One important thing to note though is that after today we will be eliminating
six teams from the competition. We won't be seeing them anymore and the top 14 out of today
will be making their way through directly to the finals.
The middle of the pack will be heading through to our survival stage tomorrow,
and that's where we will eliminate the rest of our teams to get to our championship day.
There's still a lot more Apex left, but we've had such exciting games so far,
and things are really getting down to the wire.
Now, we've got a lot of other titles going on throughout the space as well,
so let's go check in with some of the other stages and see how their games are going.
Wow man look at you see that
play? Hey, what? Papa Jin. Papa Jin, what's up man? I'm here for this. Someone don't disturb me man.
But I thought we were friends man. I thought we hugged. Come on. I love you. I love you too.
This is what Apex is. My heart can't take it you know. But I'm here. I'm here with my community.
my family, my children, and I'm just enjoying it.
And I'm loving Paris as well, even though it's very hot.
Very hot right now.
Yeah, yesterday, like I was sweating, you know.
Yeah, it's not been comfortable here.
Listen, I know you're a dad,
you're watching Jim Burton right now,
or at least you're watching while he's here.
It's a little different, right?
He's not playing on the stage.
How's that experience knowing you've supported him
so much as a father?
And as you know, his mom's right there,
Mama Jinverton's over there,
but you guys are in a different role this time,
kind of keeping his head up.
Actually, it's not because we didn't qualify for finals
before that we had to sit down and watch it.
It's pretty much almost the same.
It's the same feeling.
Yeah, same feeling.
But the thing is, either way,
I know we're disappointed and Jim is disappointed,
but this is the game.
This is what it's all about.
Maybe all the players might experience this,
but I would say all their parents or anybody
that supports them, if they can't make it,
definitely come and support them.
Keep on supporting them, you know?
Just don't give up on your team.
You're a player.
Never give up on your team and players.
I think that's the reality of kind of
being in professional sports,
being a parent of a child who's in the profession of the sport as well.
You also have to deal with the downs, not only the ups as well.
We've, we're parents of young kids right now.
So I guess we're just looking for some advice at this point as well.
When our kids grow up, you know, and they're, they're struggling with the,
with the reality of some situations, like for instance,
what Jen's struggling with now, like being here and then, you know,
watching from the sidelines, you know, how do you, like what kind of advice
would you give us if we, you know, encounter those issues as we get older?
advice, people think I'm coming to land to watch my son win. I'm not here just for that.
I'm here to support him in case he loses to back him. Because when you're disappointed,
you know, you go crazy, you know what I mean? And I have to be here for him when he loses,
Of course, when we win, it's completely different, you know.
We have experienced that three times.
I know they're saying that Gen only won two, actually he won three.
The first one in Sweden, people don't count, which is wrong.
He's got medal, trophy and all that.
And so I was there.
But, uh-huh, we still have two more lines to go.
Yep.
They're going to make it, and we'll see everybody in Las Vegas, and in Sapporo.
Listen, at this point, if he keeps not qualifying and you keep showing up, you're going to have
more interviews in your career in the ALGS than he does.
He might get you jealous, I don't know.
You might have more fans than him at the end of the day.
I do.
He does want to put Jim Burton at more fans than Jim?
Let us know, guys.
I think it might be close.
Hey, one thing we do love is that you're always showing support in the part of our family at the ALGS Papa Jen
We appreciate you being here. We will see you in Vegas, right? This is my number 14 15 Las Vegas
Love it. We'll see you there, baby. Alright. Thanks Papa Jen and shout out Mama Jen who's hiding, but you know, we love her too
We love her too
Thanks
But I'm a little dumb, I'm a little dumb, I'm a little dumb, I'm a little dumb
Fuck me, fuck me
Welcome back to Reinde's room. We're here backstage with some of our pros for a relaxed
more intimate conversation to deep dive into the personality, some of the stories of the
tournament and also maybe have some fun as well. I'm joined not only by my man Grace
over there in the corner, but these three gentlemen who we have been talking about all
tournament long, all split long really in NIP, Cole, Vayne and Curev. Fellas, welcome.
Thank you. It's good to have you.
It's good to be here and see you guys.
I want to start Vane with Cole actually
because we need to do the official crowning of Cole
as your name.
Because this man was known throughout the years
as McLovin and now you went with Cole.
I got to ask, what made the name change?
What was the, I was so, I'm such a super bad fan.
Why did you shift it away?
Um, it was mostly just growing up playing sports,
like IRL, everybody calls me Cole.
And that's kind of just what I was used to and when I went to one last year nobody called me it. It felt very weird
So it's just like I'm just gonna change it to Cole. Okay. Well, you know what? We love it
We we miss it, but I wanted to do it officially when people could see you this was McLovin
It is now Cole. We've fully dropped that in the bed though
That is a great movie watch super bad if you can all right it though
So make sure you know your kids are present guys. Let's take a look if we can bring it in
I know we have the scoreboard and let's transition into a conversation about the game
I'll start with you Cole and then you could pass it down the line with Vane and Cura because I want to get
your guys' thoughts. How has these first couple of days gone? You made a big change and adjustment
over this set, this series, but it's been a struggle for some of our top teams coming in.
Expand on that. What's been going on. Feel free to share your thoughts and we'll go down the line.
I think we've just been, we've just been having a couple issues. Getting, we've swapped to a fully
playing zone most of the games now and we've had issues not being proactive at times, holding
space correctly and just it just ended up not doing things on time and it kind of just
affected us the first two days.
Bane?
Yeah, I would agree for sure.
Like a lot of my calls like last two days were pretty hesitant and so like we should
have been fighting a team with the time that we had but we waited.
A lot of that stuff was fixed today so that was good we played a lot better today but
I mean, yeah, I mean, every day we're coming in confidence.
So that's good.
I mean, we know how good we are.
It's just about, you know, just a friend and Mike, you know,
just tightening everything up as much as we can.
And we've been improving every day.
So.
You're of your thoughts, man.
Yeah, for me, it's like last champs happen the same.
Like we started picking up like way later into the LAN, you know,
we started like getting confident and the lobbies,
like trying to like play more aggressive.
I feel like now in this meta it's kind of difficult to be aggressive into teams, but we're trying to figure it out.
It's like taking a step by step, like now I think we're having like a good feeling of how the lobbies are going to go.
So yeah, we're feeling more confident, more confident, more we're firming on calls.
It's like very good overall.
I mean, generally you guys are struggling match one and two.
That's when Sierra and Crypto is on line, right?
Is there like, do you guys feel a lot more comfortable once they're out of this?
It's really hard to hear you.
So can you hear me?
Yeah, you're just a little bit closer right here.
He asked about Sierra and Crypto, match 1 and 2.
Match 1 and 2 generally.
And you guys have been struggling a little bit.
It's a bit of an aggressive method.
I feel like pretty much every single team
has done that at this point, right?
Leading into the next upcoming role now at this point,
do you guys feel more comfortable in the later stages
of the bracket or?
And what are you saying?
Because they can't hear you.
Because it's so loud in here.
You can hear me and I can hear you.
Oh, they don't have our ear set.
So not.
So he's asking what?
I'm screaming at him.
Yeah.
No.
Sorry.
Cool's like, I have nothing, guys.
I got nothing.
Yeah.
So he wants to know later on, right?
Are you being able to find that transition a little bit
better after you started struggling from those one, two
characters being banned and let off the roster?
Yeah.
I think we definitely feel more comfortable
after Crypto has gone, especially me.
I mean, I really do not like playing that character.
He's pretty uncomfortable because you're not shooting your
You're gone, you're not playing aggressive,
you're not in the front, that's what I would do.
So, yeah.
And just the way the bands go,
like our comps in the back later of the games,
like the last four games are more so counter comps,
like we like killing teams in zone
and we abuse their new castle comps and stuff
and it just goes a lot better first later.
I wanna talk about your thoughts
on what's happening in this atmosphere too,
because you're not the only top team
coming into this that had a great split,
that were looked at as favorites,
but at a slow start.
So it doesn't feel, I mean,
four out of five first place teams
having that same exact thing happen,
experienced players that doesn't feel like
that's a high accident.
So, you know, Crypt, what do you think is going on
that's either causing some of this?
Is it the meta's clashing?
I remember talking to Asia just a few minutes ago
from Gen.G, he said,
I really wish Crypto was being played the entire time.
You're like, I hate Crypto.
He's like, I wish we had him the whole, you know,
I never get to play him now when I come here.
What's the, what's the impact of land
that you're seeing at this tournament?
I mean, for me, I feel like most of the teams
are just like readjusting, to be honest.
Like, I don't think like you cannot like,
just come fully prepared and play against like
every region in the world, just like to your 100% sometimes.
Like, I feel like NA is like the most correct way to play.
And then you slam like A pack Europe,
like everybody else and it's like, I don't know.
It's kind of difficult to readjust in the lobby, but I feel like the top teams, with each round that they have on, on top of them,
they will become very more comfortable and they will be able to figure it out, you know?
I mean, for me, it's that.
Grace, you've seen this again, I mentioned, obviously, your experience.
There are moments where you make an actual mistake, right?
And you just showed me when you were yelling at Naughty.
Somebody bring the clip up of Grace just screaming at Naughty for not following on a call he made.
mean IGL right there, bad IGL.
No, but at the end of the day, those are mistakes, right?
Sometimes coming into a tournament
and just not finding a rhythm till it's almost too late
is just what happens.
I mean, it's exactly as well as what Dean said,
is that when you're not being proactive enough,
when you're just letting the game play by itself
and you're missing opportunities to get these kills,
you gotta get those points.
Sometimes that reminds, a lot of teams
that have been missing out as well overall,
is you're gonna play for second.
get the three extra KB in placement,
while you're praying, you get first place
and missing out on the overall point.
And at the end of the day,
you just gotta stack those points
at this part of the lobby.
But now, moving on to the next stage, six teams.
Yeah, like it becomes a lot harder
and we're really gonna see the teams
that are being proactive,
stay head and shoulder above everybody else,
as you can no longer play for just top tens.
You're not gonna make it through with them.
You know, I wanna start talking a little bit more
about the broader journey you guys have had coming here
because it's rare we get to sit down
with faces we see online for more than just two minutes,
you know, after a game in between a set.
You guys are spending a little bit more time with us.
So take this opportunity here
and maybe we'll start with Paul.
We'll move down the line
because I kind of know what's coming with you two.
But, Paul, we don't know enough about,
you know, I think your journey.
Again, I mentioned make love and I said I wouldn't bring it up
but I'm bringing it up again
because it's the first time we saw you.
This guy's amazing.
Now you find yourself in one of the best rosters
in one of the best organizations historically
in eSports in the world.
What does that journey look like for you,
jumping into Challenger Circuit, into the scene,
and now being where you are right now?
Um, it's kind of crazy to think about.
I mean, not even two, three years ago,
I was probably playing CC with LTC,
Dan and Daniel back in the day,
and that kind of fell apart.
I then joined EEC for a little while,
which we won a pro league day,
and then they kind of just fell through too.
I didn't quit the game for about,
I don't know, six to eight months or something.
And we saw year six get announced or yeah, or year five.
And we saw the, I saw the dance and the opening stuff.
And I kind of just messaged the band.
It was just like, you want to run it back?
And it was just, it started out as for fun.
And then it turned into something serious.
And here we are.
Why did you take that break?
And why did you come back?
I mean, I know maybe the open inspired you again,
but what made you say I want to take a break?
the meta and like it was it was right or it was right when Gibby Newcastle like
Rampart was coming around and I don't know I just I did was not enjoying the
game playing that six games out of six and you're probably not even one man
yeah just set a trigger break okay all right makes sense I want to hear from
Vane here because you know I walked into the cafeteria kind of the first day and
we said hey how you doing we caught up and I asked you how you were feeling and
And we kind of got a little deeper than I anticipated, because, again, journeys to get
here for every one of us are different.
For me, coming to a land two years ago, great.
Coming to a land now as a father, well, that's eight days, 10 days.
I'm here for seven weeks away from a 17-month-old daughter of mine.
So the journeys always change no matter where we are in life.
You yourself had taken some time away, Ben.
You talked to me about how much you had gone through to get from where you were after winning
a championship for North America online, going through that process of losing the
apostor syndrome, but also your personal struggles to get to where you are now.
What does it mean to you to be here at this moment at UWC after all you've
accomplished? Yeah, I mean to be here, you know, with my teammates and just, you
know, going to these lands, it means the world to me, you know, like I've given
this game a lot I feel like of myself and like my life and I'm just grateful to be to
be here every day and to to have a job like this and you know I've it's hard when I was
really young like I've watched the CS tournament when I was you know 10 or 11 and I was like
that's I want to do that that looks cool I didn't know it was like a job or anything
But yeah, I was like I want to play in tournaments like that. That's cool. Like
so yeah, I've been chasing it forever and
Yeah, I mean, it's been very up and down. Yeah, you know, it has you took some time as well
Yeah, it's some time off like it's been very hard. It's been
very very hard trying to agile because I didn't always agile and like that was like I
I hit like a big roadblock after I left on a piece because it's like not a lot of people wanted to pick me up and
The only way forward was I just got to make falls and like make my own team and just
How's that? So well, it's amazing to see you here, man
And I'd be remiss not to at least let Kurov speak on his journey. I know Latin America in the support green
TWC trophy to Latin America. That's your dream here. I mean, yeah, I mean
DC best team I ever had for sure like I know we have like some bad days that we
have the first and second day wasn't the greatest but I know with my boys we're
not gonna be pointing fingers at each other we're just gonna bring it back up
every time like we're really like supporting between us like the org is
always there Raven is always there like to try and talk to us like it's not
like okay we made a bad call it's like it was on you you know like that's
really good and yeah like like the situation for Pro League 2 like I had
every time it's gotta go two months like that I go to Mexico and stuff and be alone
like that could be like mentally taxing but as soon as you come back to my like
my house bigger my family everything is like goes back to normal you know of
course like when in Pro League he helped a little bit yeah it is not Alex he
I love it, man. I love it.
Grace, any last question for these guys before we let them go?
I mean, really, the only thing I have outside of you guys,
obviously, no, you just got to ball review,
picture mistakes, and you go again, right?
There's nothing about that.
But I really want to say something that plenty of teams
have picked up over the tournament as well,
is they're talking about vibes and team chemistry a lot.
You said, too, if your teams fell apart,
Ben, I think all of us here have left teams before, right?
So what is this, like you say, you love your boys.
Everybody says, you know, confident, love your boys.
of your voice are absolutely best.
What is it that makes you guys fit so well as a team?
What is it that you guys were so absolutely dominating
in the pro league?
Like what is it that helps you guys just
trust each other on that level?
And what can other, maybe beginner, other CC teams
where they came from take from you guys
and maybe, you know, apply to themselves?
I think really helped.
I like something that really helps
is having like a mature IGL.
Yeah, I think that.
You know, like in majority of the scene,
see like this toxicity like I don't know how I'll see all stuff like that there's like
immediately yell at the teammates or stuff like that but I feel like our vibe is more
so of like okay you make your mistake you already know what you did wrong you know like and
that's why like will bring your confidence into the next game you won't get yelled at
for making a mistake you know so you will try and like just be confident like try and
keep making plays and stuff like that just being yourself you know.
Yeah, I think something in Apex that's super undervalued is this team culture and team
dynamics.
It's all about getting better and you're kind of in a race to get better than everyone
else before LAN and during pro league, that's the time you have to do that.
If you have bad team culture and you're very, at least to being unproductive, after you
die or when your team is trying to learn something, the more productive you are, the more efficient
you are the faster you learn and the faster you are better than everyone else basically so
the better culture you have you know enables you to just be more efficient with your time and just
be a more efficient learning team you know and you just just get better faster that's kind of the
goal. Cool um I mean I agree with basically everything they said yeah I would say really the
The only other thing I have to say is just,
I feel like we all have similar personalities
and we like to have fun.
We like to joke around.
When we need to be, we're also very super serious
and like everything, like as a tournament should be taken.
Yeah.
But yeah, I mean, that's basically it.
Well, I love it guys.
Listen, I think a lot of people are rooting for you.
We're excited because EWC has hosted
and given a new championship to a new team
every single year that we've added in ALGS.
Hopefully it will be yours this time around.
Still a lot of work to do.
I know you boys are getting back into the rhythm,
but thank you so much for joining us here.
Thank you for that, Matt.
Yes, of course, guys.
We are going to be back with some more content.
We've got previews of today's upcoming series.
We've got some fun guests, even some pros joining us as well,
and a nice breakdown with the Telestrator coming up
all here in the next hour as we get our next series ready
to go.
So don't go anywhere.
We'll be right back.
Okay, and last but not least, we are checking in with Christon here at Stage 3.
Tell us a little bit about what's been going on.
I mean, we're just going through our group stages. They're a donor two weeks of competition as we mentioned yesterday
We're kind of getting through the weeds of it getting rid of some of the teams who are really not in contention of those
Club championship. You know, we kind of have had a couple of these instances where some of these top teams I team like with Falcons
Okay, they've all had okay starts, but it hasn't been fantastic from them yet
So the pressure is on this is a good opportunity for them to take some good club championship points because you don't have teams like
Vitality you don't have teams like G2 see I've been thinking about this differently
There's pro in there as well, but it's a massive opportunity for them to step up if they can get some good points from finishing first
They're in a really good spot sensing a little bit of a theme here because team I tell you could potentially be getting some points over on stage
One as well
We're looking at Falcons in liquid over on my station. Okay, so there's there's a lot that we need to be paying attention to
Thank you so much for the update time. We'll be back soon
Side that way it sounds amazing
It feels amazing, but they won't tell you what it cost.
You're very much... Hey, you hear me? What's the matter with you?
Hello, user. You're they call me Skippy.
The game will be a better dream, better speed, better power, and better endurance.
Let all that out of here.
Just don't let it go to your head.
Bring my clothes.
The choice is yours.
Another useless kill, your childhood must have been terrible.
about our Esport, but even today in the stands talking to one of the Sentinels fans, who
is their first time coming to an Apex LAN after watching the Esport for a long time.
It feels like maybe this is like, oh my god, good enough, I'm seeing this on TV, I got
to show up here. A lot of European fans of ours, pass, I got to shout you out as well.
Makes every LAN wasn't it? This one, he saw the first two days Barney and he said, okay,
does anyone sell in final tickets? Because this is too good to not watch live.
It's one of the best things about the eSports World Club, right? The accessibility. The fact that now we're also in Paris
So it gives it gives like it opens up to a lot more audience members that can come down and check it out
One of my personal favorites are chatting to some of the dads. We've got Papa Gen here. We've got Papa Hakis here
Papa Unlucky. We've got all the dads out. We're dads
So we like to get into the crowd and chat with them and you know what a bit nervous right now
We're it's day three of the group stage and the Lions. They're slipping
This is a scary one for me because there's a lot of emotion attached to some of our long-standing heroes in the scene and to see
Somebody who you have respected so much who the scene is respected so much like hockey's
Show up the way that he did yesterday in the final interview, but also coming into the day with the nerves kind of showing for the first time
It's like seeing your dad cry for the first time
You'd like this is this invincible superhero and then all of a sudden you're like wait. He's a real person too doing his best
I think that's kind of the transition we're going through
But it signals something important Barney, which is with all the young gunners. We're interviewing the sacreds the jellies
We are seeing this rise of apex talent that is opening up
What has been a pretty consistent top five performance team over the course of our history?
So I think this is a tournament that's going to start the new era of apex to be fair
Yeah, because something that we always like to talk about are these young guns coming through and making an impact
How do they fare on a live stage?
How do they fare in an eSports environment at a LAN?
A lot of the time we talk about experience being the biggest struggle
because you step out onto the stage, the lights hit your face,
you've got all the pro players around you, it's intimidating,
they're having interviews for the first time,
and some of them struggle with that.
Some are struggling, and I gotta say, it's something that I struggle with watching,
but it's a part of the maturing process,
because we are here to put on a show, and they are not used to that yet,
because so far their experience of playing Apex is,
I'm playing this game to be good, to perform, and to win, but when you get to this level,
like any professional athlete understands, you are also now a part of a performance.
You're a part of a greater stage where many people pay thousands of dollars to spend their
hard earned money supporting, traveling to see, and watching you. So that interview,
it's important to get in your back pocket just to get more comfortable with it. But again,
I'll give them some time. They are still young, a lot of them. Yeah, we've got to get them some
time at the end of it. It's
entertainment. Come on, isn't it?
Right. We got more algea split
one playoffs coming up. But for
now, that's me and Rain Dave
out here at the sports World
Cup life in Paris. Welcome
back to the LGS at EWC 26. I'm
joined by none other than girl
in glitter explosion as well.
Welcome, first of all, to EWC.
And for everybody that might not be familiar with you,
go ahead and introduce yourself.
Hi, I'm Apex content creator, ex-pro player.
I was like one of the worst when I was pro.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no, no, no, no.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
But I tried and I love Apex
and I've played Apex since day one.
So I really, really have admiration for the pro players
and what they do because they do a great job.
Okay, since you're talking about the pro players, is there any out there that you
like your favorite pro players or your favorite team, especially with what's been going on today?
We're going to have some teams going home, some teams going directly to the grand finals,
and some teams going to survival. I've been a part of the apex team for a long time,
so I do have a lot of people that I'm rooting for, so I don't want to say any names. They know
know who they are, they know that they're my friends, so.
Okay, that's fine.
You know, yeah, yeah, you're taking the high road on this hill, which is completely fine.
Now, how's your Paris day going so far?
Have you been able to do anything or not yet?
No, I haven't been able to do anything yet.
I have been enjoying speaking French.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know a little bit of French because I'm Canadian and I spoke a little bit of Arabic
here too.
It's nice to leave the house and practice new languages and see a whole other culture.
So you can see.
Yeah.
How's your French glitter?
Uh...
Traveille.
Traveille!
My French is awful.
All I remember was practicing when I first got here.
When I got lost in Paris, it's Jimabelle Set.
And shout out to Penguin because he's the one that teach me that one.
How about we do this?
How about you test our French?
How would I say? I love EWC 26 seconds.
Oh man. You know what? Let's remove the 26 for now because I don't want to complicate it so much.
So how would I say I love EWC? Are we testing your fridge? Yeah, you got to do that. So what we're
going to do is we're you're going to tell us how to say it. Glitter is going to say it, then I'm going
I'm gonna say it and you're gonna rate our French.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Well, Glitter told me this one earlier, but...
Jadon EWC?
Oh my God.
You guys weren't cheating!
Oh my God.
What?
Okay, wait, how do you say it?
How do you say it?
Jadon EWC.
That was so good.
That was good.
Wait, say it one more time?
No, it's your turn now.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Say it one more time, I need to hear it.
Jadon EWC.
Jadon EWC.
That's the expense of my friends, that's it.
Okay, which one's the best?
No buy.
Okay, I'm guessing.
Sorry, she said it too clean.
I was gonna say no buys, but that's fine.
Now we have been having guests try to draw something.
I know what I wanna draw.
What do you wanna draw?
Pathfinder.
Glitter, what do you wanna draw?
Let's go with the meta seer.
Oh, and nobody likes meta seer.
Okay, so seer and pathfinder.
You have a dilemma here because you guys are not agreeing.
So I think we're going to have to do rock, paper, scissors.
Do you guys want best of one or best of three?
Girl, we'll decide.
Best of one.
Best of one?
Best of three.
Best of three.
Okay.
and then we can like read each other's minds.
Okay, I like this.
Are you guys doing rock, paper, scissors
or rock, paper, scissors, shoot?
On shoot, on shoot, okay.
Okay.
Count us in seven.
Oh gosh.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Oh, rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
There you go, okay, one, zero.
Okay.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Oh no.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, one, one.
One, one, for everybody currently watching by the way,
let us know in the chat,
what do you think is gonna win?
Is it gonna be girl or is it gonna be
explosion is it gonna be sear or pathfinder because we're gonna be
raiding their drawings okay that the side are one rock paper scissors shoot
oh okay yay was it that you want pathfinder please gonna be hard all
right so do this for me you guys can put down your mic stop but you can take as
much time not really I'm only gonna give you about a minute and we can see what
you guys are going to be drawing. So Pathfinder timer starts now and hopefully it's going to be
updating. We have seen circles. We have seen stick figures. They're actually going in. This
might be the toughest one and for everybody currently watching at home, I know we have
watch parties doing this, just watching everything that's going on here at LGS and EWC.
Try to give us a drawing from your perspective too. Nice wig. Let's see what you got. Nice wig.
Because I know I would be absolutely awful and I'm glad I don't have to draw.
How's your painting going so far, girl? Not so good.
Okay, well, you only have about 15 seconds left. Glitter?
This is better than I thought I was going to be, but this is definitely still not going
to get me past like second grade art class.
Honestly, it's better than what I would do.
And it's better than what most of the people watching would be able to do.
I don't believe that.
I think you guys could probably draw better.
So if you can draw better, don't forget hashtag EWC, share on social media.
Hopefully at some point we'll be able to showcase your drawing and that's that's the timer.
Glitter, stop it, stop it, put it down, put it down.
Don't show it yet.
Not yet, don't show it yet.
You guys can grab your mics now
so you can also talk back with me.
And since you won, I'm gonna let you decide, girl.
Who you want to show the drawing first.
Do you wanna show your drawing first?
It's good.
Let's show her first.
No spoiler alert.
Let's show her, it's my first.
Okay, glitter.
Okay, ready?
This is my Pathfinder.
I love you so much.
Can we, can we race?
Wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
No, no, no, no, don't be racing, don't be racing,
don't be racing, don't be racing.
All right, let us know in the comments right now, chat.
People that are currently watching,
what do you rate Glitters drawing on a scale of 1 to 10?
I'm gonna give yours a,
because of the smiley face,
I'll give you extra points too.
Thank you.
And he says hi friends too.
Thank you.
I'm gonna give you a solid 8.5.
Okay.
8.5 for you.
I'll take it.
No pressure, let's do what yours is like you can't draw
This is good to wait, I think it's good. I wait and we clearly had the same
We had the same idea
She puts up French to be left off bonus points for this for the French I didn't
Maybe I get a five or six
No, no, no, because of the French, I would personally give you a nine.
Wow, that's very generous.
It's not like I'm being biased.
I'm just telling you that you didn't say you didn't speak French as well as I did earlier.
And for everybody watching, now is your turn to let us know in the chat,
what do you rate girls drawing?
Because I can't wait to go back and see what those ratings are actually like.
And before we actually let you go,
you go. That is everybody know where they can find you. I'm on Twitch usually at girl
G-U-H-R-L same on YouTube but it's like hey girl on Twitter and Instagram. Well there
you go if you guys want to go check that I'll make sure you do and don't worry a lot more
ALGS at EWC 26 is coming up because we have some groups we'll be finding out who's gonna
be going to the grand finals who's gonna be going to survival and who's gonna be going
And home and hopefully it's none of your friends because I know you have a lot of friends.
But we'll see what's gonna happen.
Here, live from Perics.
Hybrid workers, obviously, you're back in your every move.
Well, funny things happen when you're walking around an Apex Legends tournament.
You see some familiar faces, and sometimes you see some familiar online names.
This guy, he looked familiar, he was looking at me, I said, who are you?
He said, I'm Nono, and I'm like, oh, Nono from HM, what's up man, how you doing?
I'm good, I'm good, I'm having a lot of fun right now.
right now it's right next to Belgium so of course I came I have to even though we didn't qualify
very close but I'm having fun I love your approach of saying listen we were 11th in the split
only eight teams from EMEA got to qualify 12 got to qualify from North America so it was admittedly
much harder to make it here but you guys are so close you had a good split this is only your second
split of professional play in Apex what have you learned so far after that journey of just finishing
split too, even though you didn't split one, even though you didn't qualify. I mean, you always
have positive and negative things, but you have to always remember everything that went positive.
And for me, it was just getting the confidence to keep playing the way I want to play. And just
knowing that me too, I can be on a big stage like this next split. And that's the most important
thing to me. Also, the nicest words regarding Belgium as a USA soccer fan have come out of this
man's mouth. He was so apologetic. He was really, really nice to talk to after. They
beat us down in the first game, but you know, we're going to save that topic for you guys
in the chat. No, no. Having a look at this, we've seen a lot of great performance from
me, a lead eSports, you know, kind of pinched me. Talk to me about how those guys, you had
to play against them a lot. Talk to me how good those guys are. And are they going to
another level at LAN? I definitely think they're going to another level at LAN. Those guys
have been trying everything right now during the league. They were doing all
right but not as expected and right there they're really showing up even
more than expected and I'm really wondering how it's gonna go for finals
because they're already 12 and now so I really wonder where it's gonna go.
Let's talk about that Alliance story really quickly and NIP as well. You
can still get maybe four or five of our number one seeds and they haven't shown
up yet. What does that mean to you? Why do you think that's happening?
I mean, you qualify to LAN, even if you qualify to LAN as the ninth seed, you still qualify to LAN and you deserve your spot here.
I think this shows that every team here can fight with each other.
You don't have anybody just over anybody, just like Elise.
They weren't doing very good in pro league, but they still qualified and now they're just the best team overall.
So I really think every team values each other as equal.
No, no, you are. What was it, 19?
No, 18. 18 years old.
Your second split in Berlin already.
What is the future hold for NoNo?
The future is keep pushing forward.
And honestly, I'm very excited for next split.
And I hope to be at Las Vegas to actually play
and not be here in the stands with the fans,
but play on stage and have fans screaming my name.
Well, we hope that happens as well for you.
Thank you for taking the time.
No, no, from H M 11. They were so close to being here. No, no, still here. And I guess he's the only Belgium I'm gonna hug this week. See you guys. Thanks buddy. I know.
All right, now we've moved on over to stage four. We're back with Trav and it's time for yet another update on what you've got going on over here.
Yeah, it's been, it's been special today. I won't lie. The favorite coming into this competition has just been knocked out.
the team. They've got a lot of
players that have been knocked
out completely out the tournament,
which is a big hit for team
Falcons three out of their five
players already knocked out of
Fatal Fury, which is massive. One
has secured their place in day
three, and another one has still
got to play today. Vitality
now looking a lot better. They've
come with a pair of twins who
are both representing team by
which was a cool story in a
Big, big day for Vitality.
That's going to end up being very important when it comes to club
championships stuff because Vitality and Falcons are teams that we are looking at
when it comes to club championships. So interested to see how the rest of this
plays out. Things are really heating up. Thank you for the update, Trev.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I can't even see my foot for a leg.
It's a huge fight.
I can't even hold it.
When the three of them came out,
I thought,
even if the sky was two-sided,
I would win.
But I think it's really an honor to have won the first place
in the region.
This is a moment they wouldn't have dreamed of.
Put your hands together for your winners of the AOG and splint on playoffs!
Richie, win it safe!
IGL, take a trophy home, be the first one to ever do it with a full Korean team,
for me, top 3. I think that's very stats.
I think we can do it. We have to look forward to it and bring good results.
We've sent up and just now, I think he could definitely do it again.
I don't think this is his last chance.
I still think he's got a run in him.
He has that experience and when it comes to being calm, cool and collected, it's about
the IGLs that know how to convert match point finals into the win.
I'm a pro player, so I've been playing with Sangjun for a while.
I don't think I'm in contact with him.
But if I win, I'll be able to see myself and play against him.
That's what I think.
I just hope I can have fun.
I'm a player, but I'm not a zombie. I'm just dreaming.
That's why I'm doing this.
Our first series between groups B versus C is over. Did they do enough? Or are they gonna
fall short? We've seen it so many times where a team is not able to qualify to the next
stage or get eliminated by just one point or sometimes even comes down to just a type
breaker. But for a lot of the squads, I mean the biggest question mark, honestly, at the
beginning of the day was NIP.
Were they going to be able to respond?
And boy, Lace, they were respond.
They got the memo.
You dropped it and they picked it up.
It was honestly an exceptional performance from NIP.
I did mention that Olympus coming to this
was their strongest map,
and they did sort of showcase that.
And they were able to get those points
that they definitely needed to add to the tally.
You know, I do have to say,
you know, we still got a fair few more games.
Crazy going to see like the overall stats here, but look they definitely did enough to be able to you know cement themselves
Yeah, 59 points. It's definitely some extra question
The other one though
I mean the biggest another question mark was alliance and with those 61 points
They're looking good too graceful
They were so happy and you could even hear it in the interview with unlucky after he's just so like all the pressure has relieved
He's now here somebody I heard somebody scream as well
Finally, Alliance is in Paris, and then it's true, they have now landed, so I'm really
happy to see it, I'm excited to see what's going to happen going forward.
But as we also expected, I think that now that they've made it past this hinder, so
to say, they should have a smooth sailing to finals, I am hoping.
Yeah, I think honestly these two teams that we talked about, I love that all of our predictions
of talking about NIP and Alliance came true, where they were finally able to step it up.
And unfortunately, you'd think if a team got first in their lobby and third in the lobby,
They would be moving forward into the top 14.
But they're only going to be looking back thinking we could have done more in days one and two,
which is going to frustrate them.
But their objective was to make sure that they weren't going to be eliminated
and that they were going to move forward.
I don't think they were thinking, hey, let's focus on top 14.
It was just let's make sure we get on to the next game no matter what.
I mean, another team I really wanted to talk about and that I interviewed,
Kiri Isamehavok, one of the teams that is on the cusp.
I think I believe he said that they were on 67.
So might be safe, but honestly, it could go either way.
It's been really competitive at the bottom cutoff for the moment
So hoping for him that he's probably eating and resting up right now. Hey man enjoying some food and
Hold it like really really holding his fingers for this next couple of matches. Yeah, some of the other teams
I was looking out that
G&G RRQ as well snipe down. I know you earlier you were talking about RRQ
Well, the whole crowd was going crazy. Well luckily for us now, there's gonna be different groups
So they don't gonna come in start throwing stuff. And I like Sturma
But there was something that they want to watch, Lays, and it included...
Well, it was RRQ.
You know, we kind of wanted to keep a little eye on them because they were 10th on the overall standings,
and then, you know, they did drop to 11th, and then Team Falcons is taken over,
and they only just got 17 points there, so it could have just knocked them out due to that play.
So it's very close for them, so you want to keep an eye on RRQ because they did have it,
and then unfortunately this group might have lost it.
See, I was thinking about playing that you really wanted to watch
because there was none other than NIP versus Gen G
and I think we might have that playing and there you have it.
Here we go. This is one of the fights that we actually missed
in our sort of match five when they were playing here.
This was very important for Gen G to be able to capitalize on this fight.
Obviously with NIP sort of dominating this series,
sorry, this group stage,
This is something that if they could have taken it out of you know, and I p at this point would have probably pushed them a
Little bit more obviously Gen G only earned about 17 points. I think over this as well. So it has been incredibly tough for Gen G. I
Don't know where this puts them can't do maths
But it is it is not really looking good for our back south team
I mean even then and I p you know as we I had opportunity to talk to all of them very kind people as well
One of the biggest things that I like to hear is that they're keeping each other accountable
and they're not blaming each other and they're both reviewing and improving.
And the thing that I like the most for me is that he's like,
he's like, yeah, it's time efficient.
But because if you argue, it's not time efficient.
You won't learn as much and that's not efficient.
And I just love that way because we can see every game,
there's always something you can improve on.
Whether that be your macro, did somebody screw up their looting route?
Did we make the decision to take the fight fast enough
or did we close out the fight fast enough?
Should we have ran earlier?
There's always something that you can pick up and learn on and, you know, as they said as well,
we've just been steadily going better and better if they keep this up.
Maybe they're in the pro league form by then.
Yeah, and snipe down.
I'm thinking now of the body language that we saw from some of the players from team RQ
because they were they just looked super defeated towards the end.
We went from seeing their highs and now their lows.
You as an expert player, tell me what was going through their mind,
especially at the end when we saw them like that.
Yeah, I mean, we saw what they were like in that day one.
I mean, they were, we saw Strafing Flamie was laughing
and was loving life and all of them were getting along
as it can.
And I think that team is maybe more affected
by what's happening and it's harder for them
to pull themselves out of their slump.
Because I know Strafing, for example,
feels like the way that this team is on his back
with his calls and he takes out a lot of responsibility.
And if you start series slow and not only one series,
but yesterday when they had a core series coming in today
and having another repeat 15th place,
I'm pretty sure is where they ended up.
That might have been GK at 15.
I know they had a really rough set, but overall, I mean, for them, I think they're going to
make it through.
They're not going to make it through the winners side.
I think that they were pretty confident that they would based on their day one.
I think that's another team that ended in the top three and didn't, and it's not going
to end up.
So overall, this last series, what this last series really showed me is a lot of teams
did step up.
You have team Nemesis, for example, in that roster and you have the sacreds and all these
people that are coming into this tournament with teams kind of under appreciating how
how good that they can be.
Now, this has started the year very strong,
finished pro league,
kind of weaker than what you expected.
Cause they, with so much momentum to start,
you thought that they were only going to improve
and improve, but to come out on day three
and to really cement themselves as,
hey, we are here, we're ready.
And I think that might put them in a spot to move forward.
And it's going to be very interesting.
And 116 is right around where that cutoff's going to be.
I think that they should be safe,
but we look like we have a lot of teams
that are going to be really close to that.
I'm pretty sure the Alliance,
the Gaming Gladiators are not going to be able to move forward.
So we'll see what it looks like here in this next set.
That's actually one that I was looking at.
I was looking at Alliance with 108 points.
Is that gonna be enough or not?
I know you're happy that they're at least not gonna be
eliminated, Grace.
Well, but is that gonna be enough?
You mean enough to make it to the Grand Finals directly?
I mean, at that point, it just depends on how the other teams
deliver things.
Like, so that's the thing.
You can be one of the teams that is crossing your fingers
to not get eliminated by the CUS,
or you can be the ones that are hoping that you get a...
It's not a free pass, but a free pass to the grand finals immediately.
But I think that regardless, all of these teams that have shown up in this series,
like we kind of expected from all the veteran teams,
and I would like to include Nemesis there,
because everybody, like Alph has a huge history, right?
So, like, all of these teams did show up,
these wolves included, by the way.
I really want to, like, I feel like we didn't talk enough about them,
because they were kind of silent throughout this series,
but they did have their moment.
So when you have that, all of those teams pop off,
I think they're all warmed up by now.
This is the form that we're normally used to seeing from them.
And if anything, this should be a predestined for what's to come.
Yeah, I mean, we have some of the other teams, right, that are going to be coming up.
We know SAUL, they're going to be making sure that they do enough.
And I think they will do enough to make it to those grand finals whenever we end up talking
about them as well.
DK Gaming with 102 points, that might not be enough for the ring champions to go directly
to the grand finals.
Well, I mean, if you have a little bit like RRQ, Ninjas and Pajamas,
they've played that's it and then we've moved on to someone s8 you were at 104 just one point under
walls like I got six games to overtake that sort of side so it's going to be you know cemented for
them but it looks like some of these other teams are sort of going to go out obviously gen g that's
you know a little unfortunate we're not see dino soon come through so there are there are
going to be some like crazy teams that will be able to I guess calculate and make up these points
But it looks like we've had a massive shuffle in our top 14.
But, yeah, I'm wondering how we've got Zeta Division at 67.
I mean, I think all of those people cheering for those teams,
those Zeta-specific, your other teams as well,
are definitely holding the breath of this moment.
But the word that you said that I really want to highlight is Shuffle.
This leaderboard is still going to shuffle regardless.
There's six games to be played, all of these teams are hungry.
And that's the thing I really want to highlight.
You could see it.
The reason you're wondering right now, Grace, why did we see such a big difference from these teams on day 3 compared to day 1 and 2,
is because now you are forced to play proactively.
You try to let the game play itself out, and you kind of hit the curb honestly, or hit the curb, and now they're like, hey, we gotta actually be proactive.
We saw it in the forms of Nemesis taking over the game, we saw it in the form of NAP technology, and the old form of Alliance technology.
So it just really goes to show that all of these guys are now here to make plays and not get played on.
I mean, I actually have a question for everyone.
Do we think Aurora is going to do the same thing
that we just watched Alliance and NIP do?
Is it, are we going to come out with the same standard
that we gave, you know, Alliance and NIP?
Because, I mean, they were the number one seed in EMEA.
We watched what just happened, and if they don't,
then some questions might have to be raised.
Is are they ready for this?
I'm hoping, I'm hoping, I want to see effect
in the Grand Finals.
I don't want to see them get eliminated.
I don't think they'll be able to qualify directly
to the Grand Finals.
How about you?
I feel like they'll have to do it,
And like with effect, he's just going to flip this switch
and he's going to take absolutely everything down in his path.
Like he would, he would not be happy with this.
And so he's going to change it right in these six games.
Like this is, I do feel Skype.
I'm going to have to, I'm going to, I feel like it's going to be a
Nijidzen's and Jarman's Alliance kind of performance
because this is an incredible team like we have touched on before.
And yeah, effect won't let that happen.
Yeah.
I mean, a hundred percent.
I think that they, they hopefully will review it and fix their issues
because we know that they're more than capable of this.
Absolutely take no return. Yeah in case of anyone they started the furthest ahead out of those teams
So if they have any type of performance like we just watched they could actually end up in the top 14
Unlike the other two so they have the best chance if they're gonna hold themselves to the same standard that they've been
Performing at the entire game. Yeah, and I think they will too
And I mean if we give a little bit of a sneak peek here at the next groups coming up
JD gaming was one team that I asked you guys yesterday. Yeah out of all those squads Alliance in IP Aurora
That's one squad that all everybody agreed on, that they're not gonna make it in.
What are you expecting to see out of JD Gaming coming up?
So, you know how I talked about NRP being very calm, collected, talking about this, we're all responsible.
Some teams are emotional.
I think Naughty is one of the best examples of an emotional player.
When things go well, he's popping off.
When things go low, he is head down between the knees, just holding himself accountable,
because he really wants to make it happen.
Do you feel like this first game is super crucial for Naughty?
That's the thing, I mean, I competed with Naughty on C9, on the LAN with him, and he can either tunnel vision or he can just free think and just be the biggest brain.
So it all comes down to how he's affected mentally, but I think that he, if anywhere, the time is right now, but otherwise you're going home.
Well, if you were to put in his position currently with what's going on, what's at stake, right?
And if something doesn't go your way, let's say the first three games don't end up going your way snipe down.
How would he be able to just snap himself out of just that fun that he's going to get into?
I mean, Nott has always been one of the more aggressive players.
So if first three games, you know, go for it, you have no choice.
And that might be exactly the kind of playstyle that they need is to realize we have nothing to lose at this point other than, you know,
Obviously get it going home as we actually have that but at the same time
It's like we have to just go all out. We have to trust ourselves trust our skill and what we've been doing the entire year which is just
Running and gunning and outperforming their teams individually, which is which is where they've been able to end
Second seed I want to say it was in North America, which is a very impressive for IGL
And the biggest problem with this is that Naughty doesn't have that IGL experience on land
Yeah, like we've seen these other teams at the bottom that have had the time to do that in the ability to come back
So I'm just worried that we've talked about desperation in the past that that sets in if they don't get that fortunate zone
Like we saw at Somers University in game one when alliance and I people started to get them a little
Wrath of fresh air saying okay. That was good. We get to calm down and play our game from here on out
You know if that doesn't happen
It will be kind of concerning while they still got some time because group a versus group D is gonna be coming up
We'll see if they got what it takes so stay tuned because we'll get a chance to talk more about those teams coming up after this break
We were there for every click, every clutch, every respawn.
We were there for the years of grind, and we're here.
Now the proud founding partner of EWC, powering the biggest event in gaming, shoulder to shoulder
with the world's best.
Making history.
Greatness deserves a stage.
Lenovo Legion.
Reach your impossible.
How's it going everyone?
My name is Ten Serm and I'm here with Seger from team Nemesis after an incredible performance
in what seems to be the most stressful day of the competition so far.
But you guys came in with such confidence and you guys had an incredible performance
tying first with Alliance and Elite by the end of today in that group.
So walk me through it.
Tell me about the team and how you guys came in with such confidence to perform so well
on such a stressful day.
Pretty much, like after the first few days we didn't perform as well as we wanted to
do, so I pretty much just said that it's either we drop a nuke every game or we just go home
and we have to fight every team no matter what, that's the confidence, where the confidence
came from.
I mean, I'll say it definitely showed up today.
You guys were very, very consistent across the board now.
I want to see you guys are on the top side of the leaderboard when it comes to being
top 14 to make it to the Grand Finals but we'll have to wait for the rest of the results so
walk me through what you guys are doing for the rest of the day. Are you going to be focusing on
your VODs maybe? Are you going to be watching the rest of the games or what's the team going to be
up to? Rough going to be watching a second block and we're going to be praying for sure. I want to
say like that has to be another stressful part of competing in these kind of competitions because
you don't know if I would say like if you did was enough or what so how do you deal with that stress
How do you cope with it?
I don't know.
I think it's kind of difficult.
But you know what, so far you guys did incredible.
I think you're on 114, 115 points in the overall leaderboard.
So I want to say should be safe, but again,
we don't know what's going to happen, so make sure to tune in
and we'll see what happens with the second block of the game today.
Let's go!
Let's challenge this game!
Let's go!

Let's go!
HAHAHAHA!
Well, we're getting very close to crushing some of these keys here at ALGS at EWC 26.
We don't know yet, we kind of have an idea of which keys might be cursed.
But honestly, with how many surprises we have gotten today, with how many teams have been
able to step up in a big, big way, like you were saying, Graceful, that leaderboard is
bound to shuffle shuffle. It will indeed, as you said, as hopes and dreams are either
crushed or raised as some people have found a second wind of hope so far in this tournament.
And I really hope we get to see more of that. It looks so cool, too. And that looks terrifying.
No, that's why it looks cool. I just want to see something. I try to get down the arm
there to see what I know I got travel insurance, Mike. I rather not do that one. But there
you go. There's a reminder for the groups that we have. And don't forget, I mean, we're
talking about SAUL eSports. We're talking about Aurora from some of the squads that
are going to be playing here from a versus D. Who's kind of coming to your head, please?
I mean, we said it before, we're going to keep an eye on Aurora. SAUL, I reckon they'll
absolutely fine. Um you know
they are up the top of the
I think 104 so they have six
games just to get a little bit
more on top of that. Um so we
definitely need to be keeping
an eye on those ones. But
look, yeah, is it Zed? I think
they were just under essay. You
were all my sorry they're on
that second page. So they're
ones that will also have to
keep an eye on as well. But
yeah, I mean, I'm just sitting
here going to have my eyes
glued to Aurora. See if they
can do what NIP have done.
Alliance have done because yeah,
I still can't believe that they
are in that position that
they're in. I mean, I'm just
sitting here going to have my
eyes glued to Aurora. See if
they can do what NIP have
Yeah, I still can't believe that they are in that position that they're in after two days.
And something that we haven't seen today that we have seen in previous series,
snipe down, is teams being able to get two wins. It doesn't necessarily have to be back to back.
Sometimes there's split apart, but it just hasn't happened today. What is that reason?
Is it because everybody just knows that they have to play and make sure that they don't get eliminated?
Yeah, I mean, it is the final day and we're going into the final match of all the pool play here.
So, I mean, it's going to come down to who wants it the most.
I don't think we're going to see any back-to-back winners in this one either.
I think it's going to be a well-rounded like it was in the last series,
where you know, you have some teams that were more in the middle of the pack,
start to push up and really try and find their stride.
And I'm hoping that, you know, one of those teams might be enter force 36.
There's a really good players on that team.
I believe IGL, who was the year four split one champion.
And you have a couple of the people on that team, Juta and Sinop,
who have placed third at major lands before.
So this is a team as well that we should focus on because when we're at these Japan champs, you know
They have the home crowd and they have
Dominating at these and to see them also at the bottom of that leaderboard
We have to give them a chance just like we've been giving you know some of these other rosters that same respect
I mean, I think we can actually count at the four thirds. It's into the veteran teams as well
And another team I really want to lift up is say that as well at that point one of the teams that some people might consider
Slow starters, but once they take off maybe they come back as well
We've seen it from Alliance, we've seen it from Wolves, now I want to see it from Zeta,
Enterprise 36, and please Aurora.
He's got a little like shrine out the back with like effect, and he just goes and sits
there for a bit, so I've seen that.
I was flying with him for like 14 hours being his big brother.
He said, I'm still hungry, so I'll order some more food for you.
I was taking care of him, like of course, I'm looking at him like my little brother.
Where are you now?
Are you up here not taking care of him?
What?
Because I'm working.
That's crazy.
Well, does that worry you though? For Sita, you were saying they're usually known as slow starters,
but in this one, it feels like it's the complete opposite, right? Because remember,
that squad was able to get some wins on the first two days. Are you starting, does it worry you?
Now they're starting to slow down when they're actually supposed to step it up. You say they
were slow starting, they had four donuts pretty much, and then they won back-to-back. So like,
that to me is literally the definition of being a slow starter. They need to get what they had in
in the last two games. Okay. Right now. So, not back to back, but at least two wins. Is
that what we want from Seta? I would like to see that. I think minimum one win. That's
what I'm calling right now. Minimum one win. All right. I like this. And you don't want
to quickly snipe. If we were to get a team that gets not back to back, but just two wins,
which team would it be? Probably Aurora, man. I think I think what we're seeing with these
teams, I think they're probably the best setup just based off what we saw in the last series.
Okay, and Lace, which is your team?
I think they have to.
Like, it's like, you know, I think they can do it, but I think they can't.
Liquid?
They have to.
Yeah!
Okay!
Okay, that's a thing though.
With a team like Liquid in this lobby, a lot of those teams that want those points
need to be careful because they're going to be sponging up those points, but I think
it's time!
It's time to see what Group A versus Group B has got, and who's going to make it to
the grand finals?
Who will become survivor and who will get those keys crushed?
Yesterday we spoke about writing your story here at the Split 1 playoffs,
but right here is where you decide which direction your next chapter goes.
Is it a story of survival? Is it a story of triumph?
Or does your story end here?
We saw it earlier in the day, in the sixth, many things can happen.
No one is open, and all the teams have the opportunity to make a legendary comeback.
Just a few moments, the calm will disappear,
because today is the day that everything changes.
This is where reputations are built.
So let them hear you as we introduce our teams to the stage,
starting with PXX!
W. G. R. Neo. Zeddy Esports. Zipline Mafia.
Trinity.
TNN Pirates.
Gaven Gladiators.
SHUL Esports.
A-G-A-L!
Aurora Gaming!
And sitting up with their fans, it's Satan Division!
Team Liquid!
Enter Force 36!
Forfern eSports!
Team Vision!
And finally, GD Gaming!
Everything that happened here, now belongs to the past.
The class can still be shambled and everyone can get out of the game.
But today, only one thing matters, is not being among the last six teams.
predictions, none of that matters now. Today is simply about earning your place tomorrow,
so go out there and take it. Let's do this!
The day two here at the ALGS Global Series, split one playoff for EWC 2026 and the group stage continues.
The good news is that there's still time to rectify your mistakes, but the bad news is that that time is now.
The epic arc of the 3D!
GG has taken the game for the looks of things that leaves
Borset down and GG 3 and 4 and 5!
2 and 10!
It's a game of victory!
GG the 4th cast of the 10s in KJ2!
The fucking boss is hitting!
The other guy in the light, the second one pulls in!
The other guy in the light, the second one pulls in!
Giant dinos get their whizzes!
Over single-pastly with the arc of the line!
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1!
Now he slides in for second protection kill!
He's gonna hit us!
I'm down!
I'm fucking down!
Coming in as legacy, he's fighting out who can stop him though!
We are the Zip Fires!
Straying in the Zip Fidget!
And I say you well, are your winners!
He's trying to get me in fire shots, only one left, but BP, Jesko's going, and he does it,
and CQL, but the bats are back wins.
on the line within Apex Legends Global Series here in the split one playoffs at EWC 2026.
We got groups A and D. We saw our first series play out the stress on so many of our players'
faces and now when these teams have all their fate in their own hands as they watch the
key crusher from their seats, they know what is at risk. Welcome everybody. I'm Vicky
I'm joined with my girls and we're gonna be taking you guys through our first three games of our last series within group stages
I know let's get back to Olympus
Shall we it was so wild and action-packed in our earlier series
But how will our groups a versus d fare with their own chance at Olympus and as I look around I feel the fans
And I'm like me the lovely blowing rocks
Sounds like a zero one of those fans too
I mean everybody is feeling the heat when it comes to the level of competition that we got on our hands as more fans make their way into the arena
Taking a breather and it's very fitting to the theme
It's time to fight dirty or be crushed as we take a look at Olympus once again
For our first three games before we transition on to storm point
For you number one here and being able to look at the way that a look is plays out
This is going to be our POI draft and seeing how some of these teams want it to perhaps lean
and prioritize Storm Point for all the right reasons to it. Yeah, you can definitely see that
it's WGR Neo down there in 10th with their pick at Hydroponics. Now, based off what we saw in our
earlier series, you can tell that everyone that favored Growtowers Gardens Clinic, Somers University,
will likely have the beneficial pools. She'll be turned to something that looks a little more similar.
The teams up in stabilizer like ZipLine, Mafia,
Dettie Esports at Fight Night in Doggrid at PowerGrid,
those squads earlier where they had taken those positions
had some of the most crazy rotations
and mid game performances.
So I'm hoping Vicky that our teams
that are looking for a great comeback
can navigate that appropriately
and maybe we get some different zone variation.
You got your Zeta fans on the screen right now
hoping for a powerful performance coming in in 26th place.
Survival stage not necessarily locked for them, but could they advance to get in that top 14 and solidify finals Vicky?
We'll have to wait and see because that's what's at stake right Tiff. I love how you talk about variation on zones
Maybe asking for a little bit when it comes to how these zone pools have been looking for some of our teams and to highlight
What's at stake and what Tiff was ramping up on too?
It's the top 14 teams that want to be able to find themselves in that final lobby
Whereas the bottom six teams at the end of our group stages will be eliminated by the end of today
Whereas then you've got the 15 to 34 teams after group stages have concluded
They have to play in a 10 match series within the survivor stage. You're gonna call it a series. Let's be real
It's gonna be a gauntlet. You're right. We're getting stolen point. We're getting world's edge
We're going olympic e-district. You're having to play all four maps and a team that's fighting to get there alone
JD gaming the second seed in America is currently situated within that slot 41
points will need to fight nail by nail like point by point it's gonna be
insane because there's so many teams in group A that are just ahead of them and
then another squad that is inside that's gonna be fighting here today and of
course 36 dog red TL and pirates are French roster that have found themselves
within that bottom six, but their potential final six games here.
You can start with TL and Pirates and changeups, right?
You have to think about it this way.
Zedon is on that roster.
20-25 ALGS champs player right there.
And he has the potential to go home.
You know who stepped on that stage to coach him?
Nasky.
Should be a familiar name for a lot of you at home.
Had formerly competed and will be coaching those boys
for the next six games.
On the side note, Dress really nice, right?
I was like, dude, he looks good.
It looks like you just came out of a cruise, I'm not gonna lie.
Stepped off the beach straight to the stage here in Paris.
Making sure those port of so levels aren't very high,
but I know the port of so levels are skyrocketing
for our fans in the crowd.
There we are.
The boys over at CLM Pirates, hey,
the moment we announced them here on the main stage,
the crowd lit up, they understand.
That is our French roster representing Nate,
Zedon, and Kyner, and a little love for Nasky there.
Is today going to be enough?
Maybe Mbappe would give them the energy that they need because they have to go hard.
Another team on everybody's mind after their performance thus far has also been Team Liquid.
A team that isn't very cozy by the way alongside AG Global.
It's the fact that they've been able to recruit 118 total points throughout group stages and
that's not even including what we could possibly see going into Olympus.
The first time iteration that we're going to have a lot of these teams find their strengths
and maybe this is what they need to have to build up that momentum before we transition
on to Swamp Point.
Before we do, we got to get into our first game of Olympus, Groups A versus D. The last
six matches of our Group Stage here at the year six, ALGS Split 1 playoffs.
Time to go.
As we get set up and find where the zone is taking us first, we saw a lot of Somers University
but in a different group series, remember it's Groups A and D. And pulling over to where
it's to be, Gardens, talk about a performing team tip, S8UL.
This is what I told you guys about this.
If you're favoring Gardens, if you're favoring Grow Towers in Somers University, even Clinic,
this is going to be so great for you because we do see a lot of pools in this vicinity
and SAUL and including I'm gonna say game and glad eaters right there for a clinic two of the best zone playing teams
SAUL one two maps and one series just yesterday
And if I'm not mistaken have I'm calling the consistency kings of an average placement of 8 point 2 points
And it's relatively split on kills and placement points
So as you can see what we're talking about here guys
SAUL dead center Zeta division pops an evac tower
They're looking for some early positioning team liquid over at in lesium
They have a survey beacon since the majority of our players are running crypto and honestly
They're going crypto seer, which means we are going on the hunt
Olympus is a fighting map and you must take what you want. It's following the trend, right? It's not even just a few
It's literally every single team a hundred percent big ray of crypto as we say goodbye to crypto first
As we haven't saw many of our first games throughout the course of the playoffs
But already was Zeta Division. We took a look at their fans and we take a look at how they situated themselves right next to PXX
S8 UL JD gaming on the southern side of gardens where there is a survey beacon
But finding themselves with having any amp and also being able to get the scans here off the crypto
Everybody else will be able to do something very similar
But it's the king of the hill up on the high ground of gardens where S8 UL will have to note
We're getting glad eaters rotates from so I let it since they come out of clinic
That's something that Gaming Gladiators could capitalize on when it comes to the teams that rotate from grow towers such as Aurora or even four funny spirits.
And Aurora need the proximity to the next circle. When you think about them, it's not a team that you would have picked to be in contention for elimination.
They're sitting in 34th place with 51 points and a point below them leaves.
So TLNP who are at the very bottom need so many more points than all the teams
that are lobby and it just starts with one fight. WGR Neal, he crossed the way,
we open the door, get a great charge from the hemlock and it allows Kainer to be there
to put the pressure on Nate, choosing to run catalyst game one mind you.
Piercing spikes forward, drop clear, and they wipe their first team.
That's how you get this party started, especially after we saw those bottom
bottom end teams in the last group really pop off while surprisingly dynos at the
hands of 836 getting some KP themselves dynos get eliminated second in this lobby
enter force 36 were also one of my teams at risk to watch for potentially going
home to see them take out I'm gonna call in titans of the lobby because they are
a question mark team they're a team that are not scared to fight dynos are
crazy when it comes to pushing anything and for inner force 36 to get their first
three points by shutting them down a great start which is exactly needed for them. Elsewhere we
are seeing fights break out in that circle as teams jockey for their position for end game.
Got a disgusting to what the script writers with a lot of these things waking up and now waking up
BSN Carter got to be able to find them up onto Hayarca and that's scary when Aurora
order 34th in the overall standings a team that no one really thought would be struggling like
like this internationally, BSN now move up,
trying to claim another victim with effect,
trying to run away.
It's almost like the counterpart
to what we have seen from Alliance now.
BSN are chasing him down,
don't want him to get away as effect,
find Carter in the 1v1,
effect can not clutch it out.
And Aurora, all your 17th squad eliminated here
in this lobby.
Aurora is one of my favorite orgs
that always pops up on the timeline.
They have the funniest clips and recaps of ALGS days.
And I was like, we're still back, right?
And they're like, yeah, we're back.
It's our time, right?
Maybe next game, maybe next game.
Ty, Al, Aurora, Outdinos, and Neo are the only teams out
of our current lobbies.
And here we go.
EMD is AG Global, Vicky.
Balanoss, AG Global, who have been putting on a master class
for everybody at home with a total of 120 points.
I mean, they said that with Falcons,
but it's not like Falcons have another chance
to get any more points after what we had seen in our last series.
The AG Glow have been playing out of their minds
within this group stage.
Looking on the other side though,
another team that we talked about, Team Liquid,
it's up to Bannock here from the other side.
And quickly, with a speedrun fight, take out Dog Red.
I'm already witnessing tips of very fast pace
at the start of this first game.
They know what needs to be done when it comes to Olympus.
You saw a little bit of it early on
and we get to see that initial aggression for them.
E36, who are coupling off that fight they had earlier,
immediately put that pressure onto AG Global.
Yanya though, having the knuckle clusters
to try and take space for them.
Sinath, the IGL, trying to direct the combats
to find a way in.
Ubley falls incredibly low.
Sinath, the Shraines back and forth
with Aguarius.
Minimal HP, Neazel trying to deal the finishing blows.
Will E36 be able to hold on?
Oh, Ubley doesn't like this.
I mean, I don't blame him.
He's only one shot.
I would E36 is more at risk than AG Global.
Ubley's forced it back away.
Try to reset.
He has the amp to be able to regenerate healing over time.
I'm popping that one syringe, but in the distance,
I see the grieving, and it's Aguatis.
Charge up, so no, at least from the other side
of another team, but he at least gets his KP confirmed.
Looking to see if that's going to probably be Trinity,
who's actually directly in the middle.
They weren't able to get the resin.
Ubi, even with the shield top,
it's not gonna be enough.
E36 now are out in 15th.
Clean fight there from AG Global,
who had to worry about their space,
because you're right.
Talk about the shots from the distance.
Trinity is just across the way and had an eye line,
which was really preventing that team to full send.
So at least you have altered to be able to portal through
and finish them out for E36, a team that's at risk.
Sure, at least you got a couple of KP points,
but another team who needs them desperately is TLNP.
And we're sitting on a really nice set of shields here,
the Wraith play coming out with Catalyst and Crypto.
They know they need to get aggressive
and they're running the edge of Olympus,
hunting down Zipline Mafia.
You're hungry to if you're playing off the edge means that zipline mafia
Coming out of the outskirts of terminal are gonna call in an ebat tower
With this nice side-by-side view though and looking at where the zone is pulling gaming gladiators
I've seen a zone like this as they're gonna find themselves not only sitting in clinic
But looking at team vision who want to rotate from the southern choke of grow towers for fun doing something very similar and with alter
two in the lobby obviously. You have to be careful of the TP third party potentials that
we could have. It's very dangerous Vicki and considering we have 14 squads remaining
as we're watching some of our teams rotation that means there's going to be a lot of space
available short. It looks really packed right now, but this is the quickest pace of game
that we have had throughout our entire tournament. Typically we'll see 19 or 20 squads remaining
at this moment in the game. So for TLN Pirates that are trying to find those engagements,
You're going to have zipline mafia out your back and team vision clearly keeping that pressure on elsewhere deep cross gaming falls at the hands of multiple teams Zeta PXX and team liquid wanting pieces of them.
They're hungry. Zeta have not really moved from the spot me. Why should they when they're controlling one of those buildings that you were talking about coexisting and without pass.
This game has been zooming by for our teams that are looking to get aggressive.
They know what's at stake.
The EMP now coming in.
Team Lippin now moving up after getting that advantage.
Actually, of course, is that, or is that you to go back towards their TP and now reset.
And that's the beauty too of the altar.
Kind of like a crutch when it comes to having to overextend just a little bit.
But Team Lippin maintain their positioning on the high ground.
And I happen to miss one of my favorite teams to watch is in this A versus D matchup solely
because of Panic and Zero being in the top three for KD.
The only person who bests them is Kinda, who's averaging three kills per game, and he's
not in this lobby.
We already saw their success.
So Team Liquid with Panic and Zero and Sykes at the helm there are definitely going to
be a force to be reckoned with.
Now with Trinity 2 being another one of those teams that you've highlighted, Ziv, the local
seeing hanging right alongside the arena.
That's the beat up we were talking about before already, trying to take that fight.
Playing up or up though really nicely as Trinity, try to take an angle with the void passive.
They have the void nexus too as some insurance and now while we take a look at 4 Fun, it's
an attic.
They're going to get out of there.
If the drone is going to be with standby, so much space man just covered with that void
passage.
In 4 Fun, they're definitely in a better position when it comes to that survival stage as Trinity,
just talked about from a pack north. They're currently in the bottom six. So these are teams
that all need as many points as they can. So thinking of where we go to map Trinity definitely
has to move. You have that pop up north, which is definitely going to favor team liquid who
hailed from Elysium and can just walk through gaming gladiators who began at clinic will
be holding up that East side. I'm only worried about team vision who's just below them who would
likely I would go to fight for that building to clear out that side and then move in team liquid.
Kind of taking a negative rotation outside of that next circle is identifying any threats from the north you highlighted Zeddy earlier
And that's exactly what's happening. The big shakeup for me is how everyone's going to have to leave right where s8
UL is in gardens JD gaming PXX Zeta. That's gonna be an absolute blood bath
I love how you highlight that too just talking about not only the lack of space
That some of these later rotating teams have to work with but how they're gonna try to counter that with the way that they can
Oh my goodness vision 150 infinite and on the Craver, but even after getting that knock
Team vision are just looking to put a damper on this road day for zipline mafia Pirates 2 on the high ground over looking grow towers
But this is gonna be some KB that vision want to get aggressive with that
They have to be careful too because remember one of the teams hanging out in clinic
It gave me glad he knows who could just easily grief them if they have the opportunity
Opportunity yeah, essentially if you're running altar, what do you do if you're down your portal you send your altar out and just say hey
Can you get a little mixie you've got your jail card free you can just come back running?
You see that you've got EMPs going off in the distance so of course with the bravery
You're going to put your sights out your goal is to keep zipline mafias for not rotating directly on you and not
Bravers is definitely gonna help
Oh
We're waiting the Nade at the feed.
I'll essay you up, by the way.
Legacy, quite crazy here.
Excuse is gonna hold the door, lovely.
You got the EMP, you got the TP out.
Excuse me, need a little bit of health.
They send out the Nade though,
and they're dancing around the wall
because that force outside this fight
is able to pop the shield back for now.
And they get the reset is the question.
I mean, they want to try prior to that,
and they's getting that void nexus reset,
and that's what happens when you get all these ults
while Yuka in the feed gets a Krabershot
onto Yaria, and on top of fighting in every corner,
at least that doesn't stop the res by the way,
so they get to pull it off, despite getting hit.
Yeah, right, PTSD with the seared tactical.
It's just about getting that information,
which is easily still thorn for some of these teams,
Team Vision, fully looking at the action happening
between Zipline, Mafia, and Trinity.
They see where that zone pool is,
and their priority now is carrying their back
for gaming gladiators,
will have to fight against Team Vision eventually.
Nice job on Trinity getting the reset here.
There were a lot of teams looking to fight on this, but everyone has backed away.
Team Vision elsewhere has put distance up onto gaming gladiators,
and Trinity has full set Zipline Mafia.
Excuse, Dush takes some damage, the down goes Rolai,
and the altar is the last standing here for Trinity,
back and forth through the portal, trying to hold on.
Uh-uh, why are you running? Where are you going?
Trinity get eliminated, AG Global and so does Team Liquid.
This is the non-stop fighting that we were expecting once they were forced to rotate into that northern zone that you highlighted,
especially in terms of their pathing.
And now, at least from Zipline Mafia, they clear the southern side of that zone, but Team Vision eventually fighting Game and Gladiators have already started engaging in clinic.
We've lost AG Global. We've lost Team Liquid. We lose Trinity. Deep Cross Gaming.
And I would imagine we'd lose some more here shortly.
I'm so curious about how Vision is looking when it comes to Game and Gladiators because Zayn last alive on the altar.
the altar. Blast have not been fooled yet. We did lose out on Lufka, but don't count them out yet.
We've seen so many resets come out of the boys over at GG as Team Vision grabs their third back in
as they take over clinic. So the way that Zeta Division is just consistent, saw Yuga in the
feed with the Kraber via sent to now Carter still holding on to their own Kraber, getting the res.
Zed is going to be able to find Blast in the process of after taking care of Gaming Gladder is leaving only one alone
but it's gonna be the Zed division and
Zed trying to face up against each other on the northwestern side of this next zone
And they're gonna be busy while 4-1 Duke look at them a big pile up here eventually as they drop down
Yuka playing up the logo as these DPs get the follow up here two knocks onto jelly and eats while Zed have a number advantage
Yes, they're informed, and they stood a crypto drone,
highlighting exactly where they're at
and how they're gonna be able to get this res.
But Yooka, once again, being the kill leader in the lobby,
they're going crazy.
And this just leaves Duke to stay alive
for the rest of the squad.
Duke into the drone to go invisible,
to prolong the life, to get the information here
in the North, but it's all about the South.
The Zip Line mafia now finding themselves
in the throes of Team Vision,
who have tried to clear out their side.
Zach Mazer and Carter, if they can maintain this
Through the pressure from ZipLine Mafia long enough,
they won't have to worry about for fun sending them.
The Tyler is definitely looking to get involved.
Oh man, then Mafia, you try to avoid getting hit by that too,
while taking the portal,
for for now moving up behind them.
Oh, he's in the stop, gets the next one as well,
off the alternator, that is team vision,
getting eliminated, eight squads left,
in Northean, it's Sennett, it has a G7 in the other hand,
that bold extended light mag.
On the alternator, while PXX get eliminated,
There's four teams powered up against each other in gardens.
Who will survive?
JDG, who need this?
They take down Jesko, they take down Sharkey,
but Legacy chomps back with a trade on a stay naughty.
Shubi last alive with Floating.
Diving through looking for Legacy, and they get him.
S8UL, your consistency kings are not going to win this one.
They've been great, but now they fall in seventh
In this first game, he was trying to hide behind the tree, unfortunate.
He can't keep the dreams up though as he goes down next to LNP.
Talking about what they got to do for JDG, floating, waking up, all eyes on JDG.
They've been dragging out seven total kills with this team, but the follow up from Shuby.
As for if I get eliminated, Mike, though, he's incredibly low, love the swing, and the follow
from staying naughty, but now they have to move.
They can't get the room.
Oh, my God.
The ones closing in right behind their backs.
Oh, my God.
Get eliminated.
Shoebie is just built different.
The fact that TL and Pirates fall, Zeta Division,
they have to see another day.
There's at least one crypto left for them.
You can see Satooki over there on the rock.
But JD Gaming, who by the way, Graceful and Snipe,
actually predicted the second seed in America's default
in this tournament.
And they said, all right, watch this.
Absolutely on ten kills right now for those boys.
That's what they had like, you're in thirty years to demo.
He has twenty four bullets in no reserve.
Anyone got light? Chat? Chat you guys got light?
Definitely not how I miss loving.
Hopefully they're gonna be able to get some room off those death boxes.
Oh my goodness, that name!
Suzuki! Moving up here, it's gonna be a fine-stained naughty.
I mean this is a situation where now zipline mafia, a team,
ramping up, finds A to the solo, and this is all for ZipLineMafia to take home.
AKB making nine on board to take the win and to take game number one.
That is absolutely insane because Vicky, if you remember, we're looking at the POI draft,
and I say the team and stabilizer will have one of the craziest rotations in those mid-batt fights or everything.
Do you know who lands there? ZipLineMafia.
Mafia the fact that they had to go from the furthest boi up on the northwestern side of things over to gardens
No wonder they acquire nine kills. They do thirty two hundred damage, and it's not even like they were safe
They are just above the bottom six
Crazy when they need it here, too
If you look at the overall standings and finding yourself comfortable
With seventy five total points over the course of this group stage
wanted to catch themselves in the top 14 so they could avoid the survivor stage
or 1534 placing teams will have to play a 10 match series. This is how you start
things off for zipline mafia. I love their rotate. I love how we were able to
see the fights happening over to the south side how they were able to rotate
up towards garden and you could see the action happening in clinic that they
were able to avoid that pile up and honestly that also goes hand in hand
with the composition that they were rocking to.
It really does, and you even have to think about the fact that not only were they able
to put on pressure for Team Vision, they had what stood against Trinity.
There were so many teams who were fun esports at one time, was sending them on to the South.
When you think about it, you have to get aggressive.
And Alters, Seer, Crypto is 100% the comp to do it.
So as we take a few moments and step back to our top three squads left, we get it from
Zipline's more POV here.
We swing around, we find Shubi, we end JD gaming, and from there it's the solo, a data division
to just clean up the rest of the lobby.
But shout out to Zeta, bro.
They got 9 kills as well, an 18 point game.
Those top 3 teams, they know exactly what they need to do.
Even JD gaming having double digit kills and 17 points.
Sometimes it's what you need.
It's like, you feel the pressure and you just perform better.
And we're seeing that with JD gaming.
though, you know, they didn't take the dub. It's the fact that they got top three and
10 Kp to their name. Look at this zipline mafia coming through, not only with that
dub, but as you mentioned to the nine Kp as well, even pirates, how we were talking
about pirates leading into this game off their rotate, still find themselves in a top five
finish to kickstart our first game on Olympus. Very true. Trinity, enter force 36 teams that
You don't want to see on a second page here,
you want them to be acquiring points.
We know Trinity was looking for those fights
against Zipline Mafia and everyone in the south,
but we're only able to get a placement point from that.
But with the pace of this lobby,
it should start playing out a lot more like scrims.
That's typically how fast those lobbies run.
And usually it's completely different when we get to land.
You're walking into some of these end games with 20 teams.
But what I think they notice is with that earlier series
when Olympus showed out,
Is teams that we're focusing on getting into that zone,
the Olympus, I think you just have to fight.
It was so aggressive at the beginning.
You have to be aggressive.
How many teams did we say goodbye to,
like before that second round ring,
like even started closing?
We were on 14 teams at seven minutes duration in that lobby.
It was so crazy.
And then we got to see in the distance too,
like while we were looking at the pile up over
to the south side of gardens,
just the Craver and Nuka's hand onto briefing AG Global.
I mean, it was brutal.
I mean, every team that we highlighted
on the northern side of that rotate north of gardens,
We literally had no space to play off of because the teams that we're coming out of gardens
We're able to harass them safely from afar. You say gardens
They immediately go to s8 ul and the buffer coach here Rogers just immediately starting to break down
Hey, what could have went wrong possibly if the circle pulls here here the teams you have to be very aware of this is where they're
Landing you're going to have timings and with all your still in the lobby and all of these teams that are hyper aggressive
I love how production was like trying to like zoom in on that. Like that was so good. I'm sorry
Are you looking for homework hold on I want to bring attention to that
Especially when it comes to trying to appreciate as a community the coaches and what they bring everything for these pro teams man
Like for so long we talk about it. They're waiting in the shadows right all the memes that have come out
No, I was talking to the boys at SAUL and I was like your coach fry like Z play like if something happened
He had to step in we would literally be fine. I love they said that about routers
Sounds like that's good having to break down the papers to show the homework, right? You're letting them know, right?
So this ends up being the rotate this is what could have gone wrong if this happens where the zone ends up pulling towards your POI
Where some teams end up struggling look and you do differently so that way you could elevate your evo shields
It's all these little things that play apart
So what makes the grander scope of the apex legends global series that beautiful trophy smack dab in the middle and between our teams?
And what is at risk right because then you have to think about the bottom six teams that have to look
at those keys get crushed in the crusher.
It's almost like a threat that's looming right on top of them,
but then you kind of have the trade-off
of the beautiful trophy shining there.
Other teams now getting ready to go.
Talked about Gaming Gladdy as earlier
and how they were able to situate themselves
and find that space in clinical,
still putting in pressure,
but taking some of those fights on the edge
is almost like a green light for the teams
who do wanna play a lot more safe,
versus the teams I know they have to get really aggressive,
to get the points that they need in the course of these now next five games.
Yeah, I mean look it's already shifted substantially, it's just with one game.
JD Gaming who is in the bottom six, no longer are they in the bottom six.
They are up to 33rd with seven points separating them from the bottom six.
Aurora dropped down into the bottom six.
Interforce 36, toggled a few places.
But TNLN Pirates are no longer in that last place slot.
they are starting to work their way up, but it is going to take a monumental series. And if anyone
can do it, it is definitely going to be those French teams, because they are one of the craziest
fighting teams. Like I think back historically, like I'm going two to three years ago, that team
used to be Le Cité de France, and they were in some of the wildest Skyhook West contests. So I'm
keeping my eyes out. Trinity, on the other hand, will also need a same performance like TlN Pirates,
and WGR Neo is on the cusp.
It's just that there's so many teams in that later half,
the bottom 10 of the overall standings
that are trying to find that race.
And it's about finding the momentum early on, right?
So if you know you have to get aggressive,
once again, like knowing how many points you need
just so that we could go in for the Survivor Stage
at the very least, it's what sets the pace in here
as we get a nice little fly by Zeta Division and the Plushies.
These are so cute. I love that kind of one.
The Blind Mafia is the best.
I mean, yeah, they just want shout out to the fans in the crowd.
I mean, we have little nuggets that have made their way here, Tim.
I know it's your favorite to highlight the families that are showing their support for the players.
I love it.
J.D. Gaming can see them kind of breaking some things down, some of the highlights of the frackers.
When you kind of pair up groups A versus D, there are a couple people in this lobby
that are usually the ones that are at the top with the most kills and floating right there on the right is one of them and
With just the first game alone responsible for four kills on their team and
1500 damage so love to see that we're kind of staying consistent in that point right because JD gaming has not necessarily been the most consistent team
But if we put them in this group with a versus D, maybe this is what they needed
And in this is the question as to why right with some of these teams that were heavy hitters and pro league
What's going on here when you're on the international stage? Is it nerves?
I mean we're three days in at this point
You know what to expect is it being able to see a different game plan play out with the way that these international teams if you
Don't have that experience. No plan on a big stage
You're trying to find that flow to find these rotations these zone pools
Obviously with some of these teams and they're feel wise don't really go hand in hand
Well, could it be the energy from the fans that helped fuel them?
I think it's the fans. I think it's the fans. I think it's the fans and the infinite ammo
craver in the hands of you guys. That's surreal. Because when we think about what game number
two is going to look like, let's go ahead and chat really quick. We did see that crypto
band. The likelihood of the most major picks that we're going to get on our legends is
going to be seer. It's important when we keep seeing crypto getting booted out and sent to jail
as crypto will not be played for game number two guys but game two now is also ready to go back over
onto Olympus get ready because this has set the stage for the teams that have to come in swinging
it's fight night in a different era here on Olympus and we're getting started guys because
It's been fantastic to see the adjustments whether you know as a well not finding their stride within their own POI circle pool
But our maybe you know it seemed the side-by-side of how a lot of these zones kind of seems similar
We dive into our next game still well
Let's start thinking about what this game number two is going to look like as we dive in remind guys
We want to get into that survival stage or lock our tickets in the top 14 for those finals zip line mafia
are currently situated in that mid-20s area based off that win 21 points and
Right now Vicki. I'm not gonna lie. I'm seeing a lot of Sears 20 pick great or 100% pick great my apologies
And oh wow this looks familiar
A little bit of deja vu because it's falling suit with the same legend man. Well, I mean that means if my mafia wins again, right?
Oh, I mean if it follows a script right the script writers are that word look at everyone running dyno's hop into the
They're making a quick rotation keep your eyes out on Jay future. He was another one of the fraggers
I was talking about Aurora and JD gaming as they you well are already there gaming glad eaters
They just know they need to defend clinic team liquid. They're like always seen this before Elysium. We got ring console survey beacon
We're gonna feel pretty great about all the information we're getting but this is a much quicker pace
Usually you're seeing teams rotate into that next circle around that two to two thirty minute mark
No, we are actually at 1 minute 30 seconds. That's how much faster they've recognized this. Oh my goodness
And that's what happens when a lot of these teams are feeling the pressure and are at risk
I mean even the top-end teams could easily deny the opportunity for all those squads that they want to be able to have the
Frile on the PLI draft and how that's gonna play out whether it be the top 14 teams in the final lobby or even the survivor stage all
Laura
Being one of them. It's crazy how we know when we looked at the first half of Alliance's play in our last series
And how things just completely switched around
Can that happen for a war being another one of those things on that later half as
Zeddy
Jelly was able to get that first month looking for the immediate turnaround. That was also gonna be TL and key
You mentioned Neil before too, and it's gonna be up bump with full blue ebos for this squad who want to take this fight
But it's the side-by-side after the action that we saw from Zipline Mafia a previous team won game number one
It seemed to be falling in the feed. I don't want to I don't want to call it bait or spade or anything
But during that content piece on the break he thought the first map in ALGS and apex was a world edge
We'll talk about that one later my god
Destroy that axle material
Get back with your team exhibit down
information is to be had.
You know what, sometimes people want to forget about King's Canyon.
I don't, you know what, that's where legends are
grinded out here as well.
He's also able to pop off in the feed.
TLNP though, while this fight is
going to go on for some time, I worry
for the duration, because
DCG are coming out
from the northern side
trying to get the evil harvester north
of the states. The exhibit now
called in just so that way they could try to
fight even more, and with the 100% big rate
that you mentioned over onto Seer so he won't see Seer anymore after this game, taking full
advantage of this. Seeing that the timing may not be working out in their favor and with the
amount of Valkyries that we also have a few teams off me for this like Neo, DCG before,
as well as E36, you will be able to have the Skyward dive as well as the human UAV to see where
you can land and maybe some fights that you could go in for a 3P. You could see it right here
happening with DCG but taking control from the evac tower and landing right next to Neo so they
knew that this could happen they back up just a little bit not fully overextending and now till
NP a team who is very much at risk would rather back off from that fight. Yeah you kind of have
to right you got two heavy hitting squads with blue armor coming into that area it's not safe
you retreat over to estates kind of carry on staying your lane focus on getting over two gardens
where the majority of our teams have already made it. Zipline Mafia still kind of making their way
maybe on the just outskirts of turbine, but WGR Neo
rotating just a bit. I bet we popped the wrist here in a second.
Important to die like, by the way, is it by Mafia or at least able to get everybody together
because that was a fight happening. I believe it was my stabilizer, so I forced him to go all the
way towards Oasis to probably get that reset. And now they are also forced to slow rotate because
we kind of hinted at it at the very beginning, but it's looking like a very similar zone on
Olympus pulling on the outskirts of gardens, which benefits the lights of SAUL who want to go for a different plan when they get the
Poi priority of these zones as well as gaming gladiators who land over by clinic taking these different fights and maybe not playing as passively right?
Deny that from other teams like Aurora, PXX did something similar
We're missing out on that first triple take shot though
And while there's gonna be a lot of poke pressure that PXX have to put down
It's so that way they can elevate those evo shields. This is going to play out a bit different
However, with crypto being that first round ban,
you're gonna see the resurgence of Watson.
So look how many teams have isolated their pods
with the Watson fences.
15 Watsons in this lobby.
And I'd imagine there's gonna be
about nine of them over here.
For Naughty, we've gotta get him back up on his feet
but the exhibit comes down.
Shovey and Floating will have to defend the fort.
And Aurora lays siege.
This is what Altar can do for you.
As you portal around, the fence is coming out.
Can Floating escape.
My no he cannot and neither does the rest of JD gaming that is not what you want to see
Because he's just build different
Trying to get to finishing well because with the amount of alters you can expect the tp to come in
Teleports from the other side because staying alive is a priority
They ring around the road he buy the knockdown shield looking for these resets playing love the way how slow effects plane as he goes over
he slides in, that oh my goodness, a once defense,
slowed it down, PXX, they walk away swinging Aurora,
the second team out of this lobby.
What a good third party from PXX,
and a lot of that goes down to the fact
that Pita switches from race in game one
to alter in game two, hits the portal through the walls,
bypasses so many of those fences,
and takes the third party.
Versaida the seer altar Watson comp is just perfect for this setup like we were highlighting and right now
They can play from here you have e36 out on the diagonal s8 ul on the high ground in gardens
And for now team liquid are going to hold that north very similar to what they did in match number one
Zipline mafia power grid looks to be hitting a survey beacon to go ahead and get a lot of information on where players are going to
Be in that quadrant they can also
Paniously grab the ring console and know which side they want to commit to and then get the event tower
That's over about power grid right so they could just take to the skies and find a faster rotation
Which comes in clutch when they get that serenity in and they know the teams that are forced to play on the edge
Just based off of the early fight that they were forced to be in and that was against Zeddy
Even DCG now coming out for gravity engine
But the fight now happening over to the choke south of Hamlin labs is a V global on another similar rotate and now
trading off it's gonna be a 2v2 have to be careful they're getting some revenge
it's gonna be Kynar with RE45 leading out the nades though it's gonna be Nate
and he's one of the teams to also rocking out with the Axel and this is
difficult right because AG Global was on the low ground Yanya portals and says
bye I'm out like honestly I wasn't here for a long time I was here for a good
time they do get Zed on fast up and now we swing down the hill on the chase
Her knee is low and they flip one bullet and a chamber and one to take them down.
Hold on, TLMP, locally with everybody watching them, finishing them off.
But here comes a 3P.
This is what you can expect.
It is going to be WGR Neo.
And Dinos now want a chunk of the action.
The 4P, nobody is safe.
The grieving is real and pirates are forced to get out.
Dare I say is that why we saw AG Global just yeet out with their wraith?
They're like a just craft me later make the regain in the north and TL NP are going to have to do the same
Such a good call out. That's why we saw that you come out and the rate was out of their needs. Well
What could be in an Aurora package on their top line from
WC recap day three. Hey, let's see if they're able to get the recent easily here because now they're forced to play off of
Rift but with the zone closing in now behind zipline mafia
Getting that rez for AG is gonna be hard because mafia would be able to try to fully send it onto them Trinity
Figueirassi, literally one shot, but they have a tee, just in case they need to go in for a reset off the void nexus, but looking ahead, it's going to be Rohai, for jumping up, it's going to be Troll Vision, who are still inside of this building, playing a lot more closer onto the edge, being able to get that scan off the sear attack and the speed booth while he's at it.
heard of Matt Maggi wrecking ball too it could it be a strike could it find its way in jumping over the craze though
shimmoving on them and breaking their ankles leaving only Carter
Carter is out Carter blinking Carter be row high but row high it's full healthier and the CRQ coming in
he can't use his abilities
Oh
Trinity have fallen and team vision lived that was so smart of Carter breaking that fight down
He thought doesn't scare originally from the other side.
Sully was going to speed moves forward, right?
So why not play inside the building that you already locked down with your own Watson fences?
You play that patiently.
You played behind the double knockdown and now you get the double res.
But the fighting has not stopped.
By this joke is now you take a look over to Dog.
And Dog Red here are looking at zipline mafia team Liquid.
Zaddy who are now approaching out of gravity engine.
It's going to be a huge congestion for the teams stuck on this northern side.
so many teams coming out of the zone itself.
Truly, I mean, AG Global, they're side-questing.
Niazo fell to the ring, so hopefully they can make it out
with enough beds through the north.
The fear attack coming in, Jelly trying to make first contact
with Killipos here, and they got an axle,
and they're trying to connect.
We invest our exhibit to try and find that information,
and it does allow Duke to back up with the team.
They want to stay out of the exhibit.
And plus, they got to heal up.
No matrix shenanigans when you get the double jump here on the exhibit.
The amount of double jump if you get a nice little replay here.
The side by side while the live action is on the bottom left side of your screen, but
it was just so beautiful.
You move up, you play safe behind your own watch and fence, and you let it do the rest,
the slow down.
Benefiting the quartz, at least we saw it, he visioned on deliquid incites for free zipline
Mafia get eliminated nothing that they could do a team liquid. We're just waiting for the teams that had to rotate from the northern side
And that's my agey global by the way ended up rotating through gravity engine instead of the northern side that we could see a lot of these
Seams trying to collapse on when it comes to trying to find our roots into gardens
Well, if you remember what happened to match number one with team liquid it was Zeddy had rotated in and they were trying to contest team liquid for
The north they fell to Zeddy so zip line
That was unfortunate for AG Global who have had a really difficult thing here going just in the mid-map.
They have Ty on the other side. Resources are down 9% until we get a Pylon.
But I think Yanya is trying to make a portal play behind them and into the void past the frag grenade.
And under the stairs we go.
Wait, that was really smart. Good timing on the Seer attack right there to get the Sly Slode on TI.
They have the advantage of coming to positioning,
but with F-tank falling, they don't have the number advantage.
Having to be careful for a 3-2 possession,
they're just making sure they don't have to run away.
AG, go out first.
They go out in 16th because of the other teams taking shots at them.
Zeddy being one of them now knew how to back away,
but it's non-stop action over onto the west side of the zone.
Rumi-chan does knock it out as Zeddy duplies.
Nice fine tie, and they out of the lobby.
For WGR Neo who needs kills, they're trying, but TLNP,
They invest the dark veil dog red here already has one player down and kilobos is gonna do everything
He can to get back to a team of three, but this activates enter force 36 who are on the low ground in wait
Zero is down team liquid at fallen
And they were looking at kill all sides going when they were trying to clear the northern side of zone because they had like
Three kp with the fact that they can go on at the perfect time pirates
and a grad kind of shaking hands with one another while vision being a one top to loader now
Parker was able to clutch before he's he looks like he slides in the hipfire shots are enough as gaming gladiators
They take control over the fight
They come out on top and they clear the southeastern side of zone
It's really gonna probably be gaming gladiators versus dinos
Eventually especially with the zone closing in the next 20 seconds WG R. Neo has fallen as well during that engagement and
and TLNP are looking poised.
Five kills thus far this match.
Man, Nassi really wasn't kidding when he said
he was going out there to coach.
These boys were going to turn it around.
Said, I know you guys are playing later today.
Alele France, they say, TLNP.
When it matters with 4KP to their name and 11 squads left,
this is how you start things off for a team
That is desperately clawing their way up into the overall standings, avoiding the bottom six.
You can currently see Jellin P now moving back just a little bit.
I'm seeing the sniper shots from afar.
Gaming Gladiator taking shots at them with a long breath.
Try to be the other side of the sandwich.
Zooming by off the Nitrogate.
Skilling Nate looking behind him while Dino's get eliminated over to the south side of this zone.
It's pulling directly on top of Barney's a different look here.
Now you have the exhibit.
They fully extend it.
The TlnP, pretty healthy until Blast sends out that Nade and completely decimates the rest of Pirates.
Nine squads now left and gaming gladiators have icing their best defense.
The matter of timing as Dogred now peeks out in Luchka, holding studies, and they move forward, invests the tactical.
The exhibit we're still holding, we want the exhibit as a backup plan for a next fight.
We can do this without it.
RE45 and they take them down!
More kills go the way of Game and Gladiators, but Job's not done.
Inner Force 36 is still here on this side of the circle, just underneath.
The Game and Gladiators family buff keeps proving itself over at land for fun.
Popping the shield, that is gonna be Max looking behind, setting up the fexes.
Painting the floors here before sliding up, getting that follow up here onto pizza.
Before diving in jumping into boy passage. Hold on. I love this reposition that we're currently seeing after Tyler was able to put the number
Advantage in favor for full of fun. Zeddy though are seeing this fight
They don't want to over extend because easily with the way that the zone is pulling
They don't want to give up this space for seeded division to walk up for free
I don't expect them to give up their own building too
He's looking for that poor. He's looking for the kid. That's it. Give me it. Oh
Oh, oh, oh, look, I'm gonna fuck up!
No way! He knew he was gonna try to do it.
I don't know if it was a bait to allow his teammates to actually move up from the other side of the building.
I heard the sound cue. They take some shots at him, but both teams are respecting one another.
They know if this fight breaks out, someone is likely going to send it nearby.
For fun, situated at 28th place in the middle of the survival stage.
PXX, 27, enter force 36 in your bottom six, take to the skies.
They get the lay of the land here at Gardens.
Where is it safe, E36?
They get the scans and they see the rooftops.
They want to stop this team from taking control over the building.
We need to supply you two.
Literally splitting their attention.
Gaming letters eventually get eliminated because now everybody has to move in.
E36, same app.
Actually being able to have the shield full though playing off the generator is going to be my prioritized popping this medkit while the fighting is non-stop underneath their feet.
They need to get these shields off and Obli is being picked up.
Sinaf with the comms here.
You have to be so confident in those plays and they staple it.
Even Zeddy tried to make a move and Sinaf puts the pressure on the PXX.
The Valk player the perfect one to do it with the jetpack to be able to go up and let the devos eat the teammates.
Going down to provide support here if they're looking to do this quickly, but Zeddy not gonna leave them alone!
It finds them, but beautiful shots here off the RE45.
We'll be trying to keep the Dream alive for E36 while Duplex is gonna be able to clean some up here.
BXX get eliminated, five squads left, it's a stack up.
Zeddy for fun, while Entry for...
They sit down!
They get it!
While Yooka gets the creeper shot onto Tyler!
They kidnap Obley back to the low ground, take him out, and Yuka finds himself another
infinite ammo graver.
For fun, this isn't going to be fun.
Literally the bloodbath here as Yuka, oh no, you've got to look behind you just in case
you fully sent a scene in red after playing save for so long, but sometimes you all get
a little angsty here.
With Zeta Division not leaving that northern building of gardens since the very beginning
of the game.
could honestly be said about S.A.P. well playing into their composition of the
Sear Watson and also you mentioned the Watson being so important as you thought
Kramer after Kramer when you have the infinite ammo you just let it sing. What
is with me every time I see a Kramer shot connect I just let it go. Oh my god that would have been insane.
That would have been insane actually. I'm gonna kidnap Kramer. You guys feeling
Please, I need more! I need more Kramer shots!
Show me your home!
Meaning you're also going to destroy the pylon.
So that's another thing they're working on, which is great.
If you have a Kramer, tons of damage going out.
It's a little bit of a statement too.
If you're S8UO and you hear that Kramer...
You're like, there is a Kramer in the lobby confirmed.
At what point do we rotate in?
And here we are. We have the pylon. We dropped the exhibit.
Oh my goodness.
S8UL is sliding in, full sending straight towards them and they get a knock set their sights on the U-Cup, then he's feeling themselves.
No way you try to pull it off with a Kramer, but this is all for S8UL to slide in and take for free.
Zeta Division, go up next, it's for fun versus S8UL who took their time.
And an L-Star and a dream of the portal.
Oh look at legacy, the angles behind enemy lines.
Here comes Sennetic. Sharky though, last standing. Can he finish it? With a triple take-in, can he finish it?
And he may land up a four-fun take-in! Four-fun stand-tall in Gardens in map number two.
That was so close. This zone acting like the fourth teammate there to talk about positioning.
Playing ring around the rosy, around the hedge. Four-fun with the pop-off.
a team that drops 8kp to take game number 210.
And they needed that.
They were mid-pack in the survival stage.
Sure, that's great, right?
But you always want to feel more confident.
Plus, if you have a big enough series,
to go ahead and get into the top 14, advance to finals,
that is what is on the stakes here.
Don't take your chances in a 10-game gauntlet
if you don't have to.
Giving a moment for these players,
I mean, you know how it is when you clutch out
A dub for the rest of your team within your own respective games, like your hands feel clammy.
From my hands feel clammy!
I honestly see you could try to pull up a trigger shot so close like that playing around the one pillar of the building.
What a collapse for our final zone teams there, but even better look for a team like 4 Fawn to get so much KP on top of the win.
9 kills, 5 for Stenetic alone, TylerFPS with 3.
Damage off of the charts here, second or third to just a few, but we're neighboring into that 4,000 range.
It's a good look when 4-5 and game number one also that finish in top five, right?
Like they got 3KB, so now you take the win on top of it all, and it showcases that consistency on the Olympics.
When we take a look at the highlights here, what went down at the very end.
Triple take shots, shooting out the triple take, like it is a shotgun, but taking control over the high ground
ground as the last one alive for four fun was more than enough as the individual players for four fun had just separated each
Other from each side of the hedge and synthetic is going to be the one to take the lead with seven KP. Oh seven. That's crazy
Feeling pretty good about that one with 1800 damage. All right, we'll take it. Anyways for fun though as we look around
it's
Zeta division on your screen. We can always hear the Zeta fans in the stadium going off every time
They're on the screen every time Yuka has a craver and honestly was for fun surviving the onslaught of that pressure from the craver
We saw them go down so many times so many pushes
But the stabilization is real as we look at our match results
You can see right there the 21 total points for for fun
I say you well and prove on a similar circle
They had seven place in match number one and we get a second here in match number two
Zeta division and Zeddy e-sports both doing well and the fact that we get some placement points here for enter force 30
to drive them up into that fifth place slot.
But gaining the gladiators,
a lot of those fights on the east side after clinic
met them seven kills.
So long when you get the back-to-back reading pool
right over onto gardens,
it may look a little different,
but still being able to provide us
a very similar rotation for the teams
that have to traverse through the opposite side
of Olympus coming out of like the northwestern side
in general, a little bit of a difficult position
for Dinos to be in after our match results
and maybe trying to find your footing, right?
slowing things down because remember we still have one more game on Olympus
before we transition on to storm point for the final three games if we're some
of these teams may be able to ramp up a lot more but while we get ready and we
set up I'm here in rain day has got an interview for us here over on the floor
all the way from the shores of PEI girl has joined us here in France welcome
girl I know you've been watching the tournament and you've actually played
with some of the guys here. You and Jelly just won a tournament before he came here.
We did. We won the $25,000 Bolo tournament. It was fun, and he carried me so hard. He
was very carrying the whole team on his back. He's so good.
Nemesis and that squad have some serious firepower, but talk to me. Jelly's so young. Were you
impressed at him doing that at such a young age?
He had a lot of confidence. I was very surprised. It was our first time playing together, and
I think he's going to go far in the e-sports scene for sure.
I mean, listen, despite, you know, the wind blowing your hair perfectly and all this setup,
you speak French, you speak Arabic, this is like the perfect place for you at EWC.
I want to know what you feel about, of course, team Falcons and how specifically. He's a guy
that's easy to root for. He's somebody that you know very well. What are you feeling about
him and Falcons going into this? I think they're doing great. I really admire how some work ethic.
He inspired me and Apex Legends in the pro scene. He's one of the reasons why I'm here today,
because just watching him and his passion shine through
is really nice, so I'm hoping they do really well.
Now, of course, having Canadian citizenship,
E&C coming up, girl, you said you want to coach,
so any coaching opportunities out there,
I'll at you, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm down to do other Apex things.
Like, I love being a content creator,
but I really love the proceeds so much
that I wish I could be a part of it a little more.
All right, finally, before we go, who's winning EWC?
That one's really, really hard.
I think if you stay tuned to Saturday you'll find out she took the cop-out answer, but I love it girl. Thanks for being here
Okay, that's it for us at ALGS at EWC 26. We'll send it back to the studio
Welcome back everybody. I love hearing for those that are in the scene making waves like
girl love hearing her thoughts to and how she looks up to those like even how you know
at one point a long long time ago when we take a trip way back went if both girl and
how we're on TSM at some point representing the org here on the big stage and girl herself being a
commentator she has so much knowledge provide for the game I would love to see girl coach and even
highlighting the young talented legend that is jelly literally 18 years old and putting on a
performance and seeing how a lot of these teams are feeling that pressure for fun just took game
number two for those of you just tuning in on Olympus getting 8kp to their name and with no more
or crypto in this lobby, we got one more game to go on Olympus.
That's really great to hear and honestly after that game, our map winners for Fun Esports, right?
That 21 points jumped them up to 88 in the overall rankings, which allows them, if I'm not mistaken,
to feel safe to be able to make the survival stage. Now, I'm not going to say how the next game will go.
You never know what's going to happen, but when you look at our series results, Zeta Division, 29 points,
for fun. Esports 28 points in Zipline Mafia. Your map won winners 21 points. Rounding out the top 5,
of course, SAUL and Zeddy. Zeddy, we were talking about that, right? So for the teams that need to
kind of bounce back, I think Dinos can do it. I put them as a question mark in every lobby that
they got. It's their first major LAN. You really never know. You've got really everything ahead of
you and you can just do whatever you want in full send. That is what that team does. Aurora, though,
They need to step it up. That is not what I expected Vicki.
It's crazy. It's almost like, you know, being able to find your stride a little late here when it's the last game on Olympus
and looking at the key pressure and what's that risk.
I mean, seeing where Aurora stands, this is nothing that a lot of these fans could have expected, too, until if, I mean, I'm on the same boat here.
Can they really turn things around? It's one point. I mean, when you have one more chance at Olympus, I know these don't rules.
The back-to-back has been very similar.
We have to see if anything's changed up though.
As we get ready to go on game three,
I'm hearing the crowd get even louder
as this day has progressed.
And I'm ready as well as Tiff,
because with these teams feeling the risk,
they know that they have to get a lot more aggressive
to secure that K-P on top of the dug.
Our final match of Olympus here in the group stages
of ALDS split one playoffs is just now getting underway.
You get to kick things off with 4 fun, your prior math winners, and see basically how
things, you know, the looting pass, right, we're going to pick up the 8-cent, oh, okay,
nice, I like that, we're over at Terminal here, you do have access to a ring console
in which Tyler will likely get that information shortly to see where we need to full send.
I mean, I'm not sure. I mean,
I'm not sure. Man. Oh, Oh, this
looks familiar. That's why I
was there laughing. So laughing.
Not funny. I mean, another
southern Southeast so pool, but
it's you know, at least it's not
directly on top of gardens. It's
going to be a Somers University
zone. I mean, I feel like I'm
living in a parallel dream with
the way that we've been seeing
these own pool towards the
No ring console here for Team Liquid. They've only got a Survey Beacon, so they'll just have to rotate on the information.
But hold on, we've got to stand off and Dino say, all right, bye, see you later. You guys can have the loot here.
We don't need it. Back they go straight towards Dockyards. Where? Well, a few teams lie and wait for them.
TLN Pirates likely going to run straight into Dinos alongside WGR Neo, who hail from Hydroponics.
They also have some information and the likes of a Survey Beacon from there.
And let's keep our eyes terminal did have that ring console. So you do know for fun e-sports already made their way over to summer
We're quick with the rotate to I mean looking even at Aurora right and noting how they've been playing
Already over the course of these last two games means that they're gonna be playing more so on the edge
Try to isolate more of these fights and feel their backs to if they do decided to commit to these fights
Trinity who have the scan over by bonsai as well as the ring console are moving through Icarus
Where they will have to collapse on Aurora and TLNP
over on the other side of terminal we saw dinos they dipped quickly when they felt
the pressure from TIE and now Pirate told me the other side of that fight and Dino
now getting a little revenge looking at WGR Neo they fully send it here the
kickstart though is locked and who talked about the portal though to avoid getting
hit by that that was beautiful by the way off the void passage
they fusion out backing away zooming down off the nitro gate and it's the way
that they're trying to time these fights because they know the third party was in the vicinity.
They didn't want to fully send out because now Neil get away and Pirates are up behind them.
Here's the deal though. We were just talking about Aurora and how they get a massive comeback
and we find them pitted between two teams. That major over there on team vision with the rampage
is fully sent onto effect. It doesn't matter that we're situated on all white shields. We have the
breach charge, we've got an altar portal and we're just going to try to cause some chaos. Now I do
We do want to note that Mad Maggi has a 95% pick rate, 19 Maggies in the lobby, so keep
your tabs on Waston's pylons and Mad Maggi drills because they're going to be everywhere.
And welcome to Baby Compensers' Stormpoint because that's definitely going to mean we're
going to have an influx of Gibbies with Mad Maggies not in the lobby.
No wrecking ball to be a threat to that dome, all vision being a threat to Aurora.
My goodness.
Just a great, great catch.
A break.
Being able to boost up into that, being able to also get the next perk here for Zach.
Notice how they're not trying to over extend.
Why is that? Because they know other teams,
Northeer Sommers, are looking to 3P this.
We're far from being right behind them here,
and Aurora's still trying to stay alive.
Also, that dude close in the gap,
getting away some of this space,
and beating Harako now,
and the rampage is singing, charged up.
Why not?
That isn't gonna do too much here,
because it's a clean up on aisle 3.
Aurora is the first team out,
and they are at threat of elimination.
eighth overall on the standings here with 17 points and with their first fight
done here you have to keep tabs on what that lay of land looks like you see
confer for fun in the highlights over there just north of them enter force
36 on the other side as well Trinity will be the next team looking to rotate
in through the south side toward team vision I just can't believe this the
fact that Aurora has a 54 total points over the course of this entire group
and now they have only three games to go.
They're sitting in 35th, bottom 16,
that over 40 teams will be going home and Zeta.
Who doesn't really have that concern?
Mike is gonna be able to heal up.
It's a reset while you could go to try to cover his back.
Holding up to the high ground while Round 1 is closing in.
There's a lot of these teams though
who are gonna be piled up on the northern side
of the zone.
Team Liquid will eventually choke base
through the choke that Zeta's holding.
It's kind of scary for them
making their way finally down from Elysium.
slightly slower, but that's because you have to base everything on timing from other teams
since you did not have that ring console.
For GG, had some, you know, decent games here inside the top 10.
They already won one of their group series earlier this week, so they're situated quite
nicely on the overall standings of our group stages.
For fun, you're matched two winners there.
Quick look at them.
we see what exactly happened to Aurora, the positioning from Trinity and Team Vision just
sandwiching, and that is just a tough place to be in.
Speed run of a highlight reel there, but I mean, that's what happens.
Wondering what's going on with Aurora, what's going on with the comms here.
Effect, feeling the pressure too.
After Aurora, welcome him into this roster, putting on a performance throw probably, but
not showcasing that consistency where it matters at LAN AG Global, meanwhile though.
having a slow start compared to their performance in our other last few group
stages that they've played in. Well, DCG now, look at Zipline Mafia, who
bit stuck rotating on the outside of zone for so many of these. It's
unfortunate because Zaka's not going out without a fight alongside the rest of
this team. I mean, it's just round one. They could afford this, but slowing down
just a little bit, having to be careful. The wrecking ball slams into him. It's a
back-to-back slowdown. But do we really want to over extend this because there's
literally four other teams that could show face
Zeddy, Pirates, who put down the portal
so that way they could reset if they have to internal.
They show face, Zipline, Mafia kind of stuck
playing inside the zone while DCG now move up,
they take to the skies and this is the beauty
of some of these teams having the ball free.
And Zipline, Mafia, those teams they're highlighting
down below is gonna be Zeddy Esports,
but we're back into the south.
It's WGR Neo making a play onto Trinity,
Evolves to fall and we're looking for the full if we can we convert and Trinity
Disengages out towards the West and just starts running looking for a re-gain other teams will definitely hear this and try to get involved
With it just row I can actually you could I say is down
It's tough to be a Trinity fan here too
playing the Sparrow and looking to see if you could get his teammates back up.
And Neo too, playing on the edge, trying to go back to Idris. That's not going to be great for
Trinity. If you could try to get the reset, Team Vision, I've been harassing them but it's even
better. When you have that Void Nexus ready behind Team Vision, just so that way the two other
members of Vision were looking to get ahead and find this KP, go right back to that one player
who's holding it down on the edge of this next zone pool on Somers. I love that those two went
and just like looted and they have like seven shield bats on the ground but a quick look at our circle here you have Zeta division in the
north alongside JD gaming but if you keep tabs on you have Gigi, Dogrid, S8UL, Team Liquid still that could come down from the north
for Team Vision the split hold because the two members went to go look at WGR
Neo who did go running towards solar array a big fight likely to break out there with TL and pirates rotating for info
but Trinity have fallen.
Another game does not go their way,
but they still have three more chances on Stormpoint
to make a comeback.
With only three games to go,
it's getting a little hot in the arena,
and a lot of these pros are feeling the pressure now,
moving up, seeing if they could get that third player
over by Banzai.
Pirates are gonna be really the only one in Saces of the Rae
who will hear this res while Team Vision
vision to hold that south western side of Somers.
They're not going to move from that spot.
And I really agree with them too, with the way that the
pilot is looking like for the teams coming in from the
north side.
That's still without ignoring the Valkyrie teams who can
easily fly over and find that free building south of
Somers that is still available for some of these teams.
Give me your eyes out.
Looking towards the Survey Beacon.
Maybe we can get access to it and start our rotate in.
Zeddy just out towards the north of them for now.
This should be uncontested.
WDR Neo does get a full reset of back to a Tima 3 in the south
and Dog Red, well, frag indicators are real fights.
Breaking out into the north, S8UL and game and gladiators
trying to fight this.
And Dog Red, who's stuck in the middle, too.
Well, see if I'm still trying to find their journey
outside of the zone, outside of grow towers.
Team Liquid will have that information.
they do have that beacon available to them.
And it's the fight for the mythic bin,
which is where SAUL are holding their ground.
Well, AG also in some trouble,
but Haguatis is able to get some retaliation
for the diamond flower to gather the reset,
but Chaos can't get the rest.
I love this call from AG as Haguatis eats out the nades,
finishes off DJ in the process,
and they can hear floating in the vicinity.
Chaos just waiting patiently right behind his own gen,
because he's got the TPs,
gonna be able to bring his teammates back to left.
Thanks to the Void Nexus and AG Global cannot say the same
because creeping up out was floating.
You saw the pings, they heard him
and he was able to scoop up Huguades
and take away AG Global's dreams
being the 13th to fall in this lobby.
He really said, get me involved.
And you have to, you have to grab
as many kills as possible.
JV Gaming still just hanging out
above the elimination stage.
Like I've said, it will be down to the likelihood of one kill, Vicki.
So get every kill, every finish that you possibly can.
TLMP on 17 points for our series.
The Battle of the South likely to break out.
You can see dinos on the horizon, but really our threats are WGR Neo.
Drop an evac tower.
Are we going to go straight towards Summers University?
Because we've got to get ahead of a couple of teams,
but I don't know how much space will be available at this time.
There's still so many teams up and that's why you saw them paying to just move ahead, right?
They're one of the teams with the actual just take the nitrogate move forward
Don't call in with the evac tower even if you have the Valkyrie you get the information but after losing out on your shield
That's what's detrimental when ring three is closing behind your back's legacy
Was able to get the Krabber and the infinite Emma when they had the mythic bin right there on top of grow towers
Everybody takes the sky when they have the Valkyrie composition gave him gladiator DTIE though
Not with the doctrine of playing off the side of the brakes and it's so much pressure as
Jesco guessed that knock with the Arcstar U-Channel.
Going down F-Channel, it's only up to him the right Q to get away.
Putting in the pressure and now having to play off the corner, nothing to see here.
Maybe hoping that SAUL will fixate their attention on PXX because Eddie are also fighting on
the other side.
Oh no.
And here comes SAUL.
PXX, you're right across the way.
I think, with this Kraber, you're just waiting for anyone and everyone to peek.
Yeah, you're still alive!
Saying don't look at me, please, BXX, get eliminated.
The fact that the solo stays alive is another thing.
They're looking, they're haunting.
You're trying to prevent this, where's the...
Sadie, now!
Have to be careful!
Blame off the back end!
Up to Janno!
Sending out the drones too from both sides before sliding in off the back.
Oh!
It's gonna be jelly!
Heads are flying!
Did you get eliminated and so does Zeddy Esports playing that save? It's gonna be legacy. Where did he go?
I know he's around. I hear him about. He have the portals and they get the slight scan too.
Do they fly out trying to rotate?
Because FJ gets the res! He gets the res off the death box! They had to up here. Heard that. They had to.
Legacy then gets the fall and fights F10. He gets the revenge off the Krabershot.
And after hearing that, they were so close to rotating out. Imagine, but after hearing that res,
as they de-eat their attention right back over
to the team that they were originally fighting.
Back up on your feet, F-chan, you go.
They drop a pile on, they focus on healing,
and dang, that is crazy.
That pip just goes to show you where that circle is pulling
and four fine e-sports.
They've got a position in that next circle.
Yo, wait, did you just finish Zayn with a Watson fence?
They think they're Picasso, a way that they're painting the entire map with these watching fences.
Oh my god!
That disappeared, man!
No e-back tower, unfortunate!
As the legacy also drops like a hot potato, can they get out with the reclosing hand?
Jax called a mool and tried to send an S8UL, get eliminated!
I was wondering what kind of communication was that?
They could have put them aboard or they could have gone through the wall with the void passage,
and now S8UL getting eliminated!
clears things up for the one solo of D.I.E.
To keep the dream alive, Liquid and JD Gaming are on
where they feast upon his body.
The solo out and Panic follows up to get the knock-out
to stay naughty once they're face off against each other.
Shields ripped apart, bats coming out, and the pressure
is still on Team Liquid.
JD Gaming with the positioning.
Look at where Floating is trying to take an angle.
The Maggie Ball yeets Panic to the side and down he goes.
Behind Shubi, the synergy that floating in Shubi are organizing here.
The chaos of Team Liquid and JDG wipes them off the face of Olympus.
The fact that you're still seeing these knots after Liquid get eliminated.
What are these squad wipes? Everybody taking these fights.
Spock of Feed gets a little sneaky here on the other side of zone.
Did hear that they got the res. It's why he didn't want to show his face to he saw that maybe could have had an opportunity as off
the go also
Try to have the opportunity to find Zeta who are playing right underneath them
But look behind you may not hear it especially with the drill is white to your back
For us to drop down to with those rain being right close to him
So that it is gonna be ready to get the finishing blow onto just so that we saw earlier on and dino now waking up with 11
And you have to play this so cautiously because look who just took to the top of that team vision also fighting for positioning coverage in that next circle.
DJ Killa those shots that are coming through zipline mafia from the high ground on the west side playing around TLN Pirates and enter 436.
We come over here and team vision wiped for fun.
It's more fun.
It's a tough situation to be in while Team Vision, who have been holding that entire
southern side of ZONE for so long, especially playing off of the altar portal.
And Voidnex is coming in clutch though, wrecking ball though, it's a strike, he finds Mike,
and Floating's upset, he wakes up, he gets the quick 2k here before sliding down.
Here's the rest of the teams moving up, Gaming Gladiators maybe, his next victims, they get
eliminated but unfortunately does get stolen from him and remember JD gaming
need all the points that they need breaking down the perimeter fence line
though and you can hear the pings with stay naughty now in some trouble need
suppressed fire and floating has the wingman in hand we lost out on a few
teams during that and that's okay because JDG is looking to send
themselves into the top five the pressure is eating the wingman 50 50 50
zipline mafia fresh off a rotation go towards tlm pirates and enter force 36
Listen a little around we go
And right there comes back up on the height Nate sends the portal
And down goes Nate
The fact that they're forced to go down to I mean that felt the pressure off the drill
Cuz I was able to get that not originally Nassabon is forced to play off the lip of this thanks line
They got the head glitch from both sides too, but having to take a different angle away
because that's the point of view.
Oh no.
45, but he has to get through all the knock-out jigs, just enough to be the nail in the coffin
to the lead pirates.
Five squads left.
They fell with 4KP, so still points on the board, but it's Zeta at the top of the series
for Olympus thus far.
We're healthy.
We're near center of circle, but you have to keep so many eyes out across the board.
Force 36 potentially facing elimination, but this big game can start to turn things around.
And the 4th Perk force in F and Yvette Tower to try to take up to the higher ground while they
find Mafia are down to it with the zone closing in it prevents Kossak from being able to reset,
from being able to get the res. Say to understand the situation, they're playing alongside the bins
As well as the Gen, they hear the fighting here, a shady gaming floating,
taking a different off angle. They have 6 total KP for this entire team,
trying to elevate themselves as the Suzuki is going to be refined Carter.
E36 is getting a trade off too, while floating has been trying to farm, finishing off D-Vision,
wrapping behind the Zeta. Oh my!
They be next! He's going crazy! He misses out on some of those ringman shots which means
he misses out on getting the 2KP and Juddler picks that up.
An arc start knocks down two members of Zeta and JDG finished them into the top two we go E36 and JDG
The teams at risk of going home are giving it everything
What do they see floating?
As twos who are JDG gaming are looking to take the time when they needed the most
Floating!
They have 10 total KP it's up to stay nutty. El Sarr in hand playing up the knockdown
Only one member left has JDGaming
at the very last second they take the final game on Olympus they are your game three winners
There's a reason that we are so hyped talking about this team second seed from America's
15 kills that game
I don't like sorry. Oh, that's dramatic 13 kills. I bet still sick. So it's still good though like 25 points
A team at risk of going home.
Do you know how massive 25 points is for that?
When you are on the later half of the overall standings, it's massive.
Because you can at least have some room to breathe when you only got three games to go.
The shouting, the vibes here.
They're looking at Zack, the trade-off after floating.
Can't you have her to flag, by the way?
way. Floating is cracked. Floating is so cracked. It has been so sick to witness the
comeback.
And do we've been following Shuby since Challenger Circuit, right? Do you remember the lone standing
Bangalore from Challenger Circuit that was just full sending everything? It is a true
grind. And how long? Naughty, first land IGL-ing. I mean, look, this is Vicky and I's last
cast for the group series, mind you. And I'm so curious. So I'm going to say it here live. Grace
Snipe. Y'all said JDG was going to be one of the teams from America's going home.
Well, at the top later. I don't know what's going to happen when you have somebody like floating in
a perfect flow state, willing to take some of these fights go around the outside of zone,
just so that way he could sneak up with the pop off the side by side. I love the energy that
that we're here seeing, and stay naughty,
taking just a deep breath of relief.
But it's just such the dynamics between both of them,
because you know, when you have that,
knowing that you both need all of the points there
at the end, 25 points.
Look, JDG guys was one point outside of the bottom six.
They just kept toggling.
We were out of it, but not by much.
and you throw 25 points down,
that moves you seven, eight positions up.
And sure, you might have to fight
through that survival stage,
but if it took a bit long to get warmed up on land,
you might need that.
I mean, when you go from game number two,
the first team to go out of the lobby was JD Gaming.
And now you move on to our final game on Olympus,
game number three.
And you end up not only taking the double,
but double-digit AP.
And it also goes hand-in-hand at least in match one.
They finished in top three with 10 Kp even though going on after that game too.
You're the first team to go out.
You still were able to get double digit Kp nonetheless in that first game.
Now you get the dub when you need it before we transition onto Storm Point.
I mean I'm just looking at the stats right now.
23 kills in three games.
Floating's responsible for 10 of them.
Naughty has seven.
but Floating has done almost 5k damage.
He's the one player on that team with a positive damage differential, and it's 1500.
Wow.
That man deals out so much more damage than he takes.
So not only good at getting kills, but he's evasive.
It's actually insane the way that he could frag out and also reposition himself.
Because it's really important, right?
It's all about that positioning and the way that you try to take some of these fights.
despite the floating was cheeky in that last game, whether it be creeping about, taking
up last member of AG Global, playing on the outskirts of the ring so that way you could
go in for a flanking position and constantly getting away with it is what you like to see.
Because now as we change maps, it's about caring that momentum when you have a different
look of the POI draft.
Hearing that we got an interview ready on the floor everybody, thank you so much for
We've got so much more action here within the ALGS. I want to hear from our desk.
At the halfway point of this group stage on the final day, we still have time, but it is running out.
I'm joined by Effect here from Aurora Gaming. Effect, I don't have to sit here and tell you, obviously,
the scenario that you guys are in and the scenario that everyone else in this arena is in.
But let's be clear, you guys are all absolutely incredible players,
players, but what has it been about this land that's made it such a challenge?
I don't really have anything to say, much to say, I have no idea.
It's just our first land and first time getting used to playing like the way
Kjarka plays, the way we play in Zon, so that's just the experience.
Has it been saying motivated within the comms and staying positive in like this uphill battle you're in right now?
I'm staying neutral. I don't have that much of emotions or anything. A little bit sad,
of course. I don't want to go out from Duke's stages, but we still have three games.
Exactly. The reality is you've still got three games, and of course you've got loads of fans
still supporting you both in the arena and of course at home. Is there anything you'd
like to say to them?
Sorry, English is hard.
Hopefully we don't disappoint you.
I'll tell you what, you're an incredible player.
We can't wait to see what you bring in the next three games.
I'm not going to take up any more time.
Thank you so much, Efex, for joining me here.
I'm going to send you over now to Reinde with another interview
on the other side of the stage.
Thank you, Barney.
I am standing here, and it may look like deja vu,
but no, it was yesterday that I spoke with Pandas.
You are in a pretty different state than you are now.
Talk to me after that final win that you guys just got a few games ago
to ease a little bit of pressure that I know you have been feeling.
Yeah, I mean, it just took a lot of stress off of our shoulders.
Like, we still got to get a few more points on the board, get to that top 14
so we don't have to play tomorrow in the Survivor Series.
I talked about the palpable nature of the tension that's here in the arena.
You've seen it. You felt it.
Your players have denied interviews not once, but twice.
I don't know if these are the Kings or something. I don't know.
But at the end of the day, it's because they're trying to stay locked in.
They know that any slip up right now means they could be going home.
Yeah, I would have my players be locked in, not going like coming into the series, you know?
We had a, okay, first two days, but now it's our chance to really prove ourselves on land.
Talk to me about the mentality really quickly before I let you go.
That locked in, what does that look like for your team?
When they're focused, when everyone's playing their best,
I talked to Sinetic earlier on in this season.
It was one of my favorite interviews about him taking on the role,
switching to controller, obviously bringing Tyler into this lobby and into this team
and saying, I can lead a little bit with the damage as well.
I don't need Azane to do that for me.
What does it look like when your team is playing at their best?
What do you guys need to do in these last few games?
I mean, everyone's just self-consistent when we're all together, calming together, you know?
Going into this day, I was telling everyone to keep their energy high and start off strong.
So once that gets rolling, the team is just unstoppable.
Like, well, we won't lose a 3v3.
Congratulations, man. You guys have done well.
Listen, if you guys deny me one more time, it's going to be hell to pay.
I tell you that. Third interview is a charm.
We're going to get them over here.
However, I got my man, Barney Banks.
Say no with Kazakh, waiting to talk a little bit more.
That's right, Randy.
Third time is the charm.
Third interview is the charm we got Kazakh,
Kevin Zippler and Mafia.
Kazakh, talk to me first and foremost
about the experience so far at this LAN.
With this live crowd in this environment, how's it been?
It's great. A little bit hot, but we're all good.
It's a little bit hot.
Things get sweaty.
Things get heated here on the main stage.
Now, with that performance that you guys have shown up with today,
in the day three of the group stage,
It looks like you guys have saved yourself.
Did you kind of have that sigh of relief
when you finally put up some big numbers
and now you're feeling a bit more comfortable, right?
Yeah, the plan is we're looking for our game
and I'll finally win.
So if you're playing again tomorrow,
what's gonna change?
Like how has kind of been,
before you come onto this stage,
how has it been like communicating with the boys
before you come out here?
Like what's the plan being every day?
How have you made adjustments?
So as an emergency stop, I just played with the boys two weeks of scrims,
but I hope we won't play tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow in finals.
I love it. I love that positivity.
Kazak, thank you so much for joining me in this interview.
Best of luck in your next three games, and we'll see how it all pans out.
Back to you guys in the studio.
I
Thinks he can come in here and play my game
Oh
Tyler one you're done
It's definitely a different atmosphere here at the Carilla City grid arena as honestly
a big shocker that we have had.
We expected JDG not to do that well, but boy did they step up and with that performance
I think they're going to be saved and not getting eliminated.
I mean, yeah, Naughty Ridge headed up there and you can see the energy and the passion
and you know everything going through it but you know they're on the cusp. I did some character
relations. They are still on the cusp of you know sort of going under that red line but obviously I
want to sort of touch on Aurora. We sort of saw that sad look on a fair space but I do want him to
know you still got three more games and it's basically JDG and then Aurora that are just
needing to fight for that position so I do feel like Aurora might need to do something incredible
this and I really really hope effects you know I can shake off that kind of attitude and just
really go for it because there is still that chance of opportunity these next three games
to push themselves out of that bottom six. I mean speaking of JDG we did have our doubts but I will
say Floating absolutely engaged he was looking like he was being ranked out there that game after
He was just sending absolutely everybody on repeat, making several plays and getting this KB on the board.
However, I will also say, Naughty winning as IGL on Land Dream is still alive.
It could happen at this point. I'm so happy to see the change of pace because we were losing a whole quite a bit right there.
But this is the form that took them to the top that they were.
Yeah, I'm not sure I've ever seen someone's face on the main screen have as much relief as we saw Naughty's happy.
people out that way and his team they just all embrace each other and like hey
man this is like what we spent all year getting to here it's really awesome to
see them prove us wrong yeah here as it is a team that I am happy to see do well
considering you know we have some other players you know head zero talking a
little bit trash it's good yeah not he kind of breaking out of that shell if
people kind of underestimating him as just being you know this this crazy
fragger in the past and now he's taking on a more important role and really
showing up at the stage when that is most that's the floating we used to see
Like that is that is the stuff that we knew that he could do now
We just want to see the effect that we're used to see because Aurora a lot of us expected them to do
What some of the other squads earlier in the day were able to do right in IP showed up alliance showed up
What's going on with Aurora? I mean we saw the body language right there out of effect not really
You could tell that he didn't want to be there. So thank you Barney for doing that interview with us with him
But what's going on with Aurora?
Take me through the mindset of what could be happening with that squad right now, Grace.
I mean, you heard it himself. He says he doesn't really know.
Like, this is the thing. It all comes back to experience. Even said to himself, it's just experience.
I'm not used to playing with the Archers' way of IGLing zone online.
And that is a difference from playing online, because you have to remind yourself that playing all of these things,
playing ranked is different from pubs. Playing pro league or CC is different from ranked.
from rank and it keeps going and LAN especially at EWC when the stakes are so
high as winning 600k is even higher of course they're gonna get affected by it
yeah I kind of want to point out something there I mean the stakes are
higher and I think this is something that people don't really take into
consideration when hierarchy one year five champs no pressure no one thought
they were gonna win there was not a single person that literally went into
that and for him as an ideal you don't have anything to worry about anything
Better than what you know people were expecting was an over accomplishment and now that you have that first place
And you pick up someone with the accolades that affect as you have pressure to uphold where he came from on alliance
Not to mention getting first place in pro league in the EMEA's
There's no real pressure online. Everyone's comfortable in their own homes
There's not nothing like that yet you get to this stage and you start off slow and have these bad rounds when all that the more
Expectation than you've ever had on you and your team is now placed on you
And we're seeing that maybe take effect here literally because that's three games in a row that they dropped barely anything
And we're trying to force fights early on hoping to get those points that they need when in reality
Maybe all they needed just like we've seen these other teams
Once you just find a good spot get to zone and let the kills come to them seems like they might be forcing stuff
And now that they're in this position, they might have to do that even yeah
I mean you can see the body language right now to us. We're looking at the keys which at some point
I'm pretty sure we'll get a chance to crush them.
Aurora doesn't want their keys to be crushed.
They're wanting to continue on.
How can they get themselves out of this mood
that they're currently in to make sure that they push up?
As we're going to be looking at the overall,
and then at some point we'll see Aurora,
and we'll see how far away or where they currently
are in that standing.
I mean, this is the thing.
I think everybody saw it in that 1-2 he has as well.
If you follow the match, he's getting desperate.
He's going at absolute everything.
And at some point, and I'm sure it's not,
You and me both have gone through it before where nothing is working and you just go, screw it!
I just have to 1v57 and when you have that mindset, it's either make or break.
And I think for effect personally, it's not a good thing because he can get into his own mind
and that will cost him because he is a phenomenal player.
But when you play, because I've played under other RGLs as well, when you're just feeling like, hey,
nothing we're doing is working, we need to change something up,
it's really tough because at the end of the day, you have to follow RGL and if you don't, you split ways.
You got to be pepega together and not split.
Yeah, I mean, honestly, it was kind of tough seeing that image of all three of them sitting
there because, you know, I've been in similar situations where you feel like you're about
to get bounced and your teammate might have his head down on the desk, someone pass the
step up, tell each other to put your headphones on, get rid of the noise, lock in, and just
type each other up.
Tell, you know, your ideal, your that that's been IGL in the game, you know, make it seem
like you have confidence in each other until you come out because when you're just sitting
there all with your hands on your head and you're just staring at your monitor. It's
just such a bad precedent that you all just are, you know, I'm a real believer in just
energy and what you put in is kind of what you get and to feel like that and to see that
is not what you want to see if you're in a war of fan heading into these final three
games.
Yeah, that's what it's sort of touching on. Like you just got to shake off that part
of energy. It's still got three more games to lock it in. And if we want to like move
over to, like, let's have a look at, like, those more bottom teams there. We can see
where Aurora are currently sitting, because, like I said, it's just in bottom six. But
they are incredibly close to getting out of that. Obviously, after JDG's performance,
they got out of that bottom six just now. So it is, it is an incredibly tight spot right
there. And still, three more games, they're able to do that. It's definitely applicable.
applicable. Yeah, there we go. Let's have it. Yes. Aurora right now, 37th place only got in three points today so far. There is the benchmark
right there that we're currently seeing. Can they do enough? Can they actually knock themselves into their head? Because like you were
mentioning Grace, it happens to some players, right? It happens in the past. And Snipe, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be sending this to you
because I want to know like what can affect you to make sure that doesn't happen? He doesn't get into his head. He doesn't
start overthinking in these three matches,
knowing that there is a chance that they could end up
going home if they don't start putting up points.
Yeah, I mean, it really is just one game at a time.
But when we look at those at that page,
you know, the bottom three are already out.
Yeah, they're not even really a part of this anymore.
We are looking at the highest elimination points
that we have seen yet.
It's at 63 right now is the cutoff.
And Aurora's at 54.
So we're looking at minimum 15 to 20 points,
minimum to try and get them back up.
So we're already pushing into the 70s
for a potential cutoff here,
and that's pretty extended.
But if there's the team that has the firepower to do it,
there's they're doing it.
We saw, we've seen after force 36 already work their way up,
JDG work their way up, all these teams,
we talked about zip,
all these teams that we talked about
that have the potential to do it,
there's only one left,
and we're gonna see what happens.
I mean, we can even see it right here
on the footage of the cam as well.
So much pressure.
People just staring into the sky, whether they're closing their eyes and meditating for a few seconds,
just to see what can we pull out to make ourselves out of this hole,
that we have dug for ourselves in the first of two days.
And it's really tough. Currently, the cutoff is at what? 63.
It's definitely going to move up.
Yeah, it's definitely going to move up.
And the thing is, is that it's super competitive.
Everybody just really wants it.
But this is also like this to me is the beauty of eSports,
because it's one part that we don't really dive into a lot.
We typically dive into the champs.
We typically dive into the top two, the best teams of each region.
But the reality is, someone has to get sent home.
And it's so crushing for the people that have worked so hard to be here.
But it's also what makes this game so very beautiful
that everybody is putting in their best effort.
And that's the competitiveness is literally a thing.
Yeah, I was actually going to touch on Pirates still in that same sort of situation, right?
They were just under that as well.
It was something that we could absolutely see.
these guys sort of pull it out within that three matches. But honestly, it's it's actually so neck
and neck in this leaderboard. But look, I feel like this team has turned up in these last couple
of matches. I don't know what has been happening in the previous ones. Yes. And which, you know,
we got to we got to chat to him before. And I was like, we're about to do an interview. And he's
like, I don't know. I'm going to go coach. And all they needed was the Nasky vibes, I feel.
I mean, sometimes a coach, especially with the experience of Nasky can make that difference.
And for today, it has made that difference.
The question is, we're done with the Limpis.
Store points are going to be coming up for those kind of teams.
Can they do it now?
And I know you wanted to talk about NASSKE,
how much of a difference that can make for a squad,
like the French squad.
Change NASSKE now?
Yeah, I mean, we just looked at the view,
and they were in way higher spirits
than we just saw when we had a word on the screen.
And there are 11 or nine points less than them.
So I think for them, they came in with only, I think,
24-ish points.
They were the last place.
for them to already have 25-ish around this series right here is good vibes. They know
they're doing well and if they get another 25-30 points, you know, they might be that
30-15 to try and get them right outside of it. And it's going to be interesting to see,
but Nasky comes in, he is, you know, able to give them a little bit better of his own,
you know, history as an IGL, keep the atmosphere up because people don't realize that this
is his first day here. There are two bad days. They actually did have a bit of a coach replacement
and he came in and he's replaced the vibes.
He was super confident, said he had a great feeling
when we were in the green room talking to him.
And we know a big history there.
And there's a lot of things that I'm sure he can bring
to an inexperienced roster at a big event like this.
Well, there you go.
We got the P.E.O. with this.
Sorry, I'm just shocked.
I'm honestly shocked that Aurora is currently where they are,
that JTG was able to climb up.
With this P.E.O.I. draft that we have on the screen, Graceful,
is there anything that you're seeing
that kind of points out that that might make Aurora's job even harder.
Definitely not harder.
They're at Seto Station.
There's plenty of drops right here or even so we've seen several in Jurassic.
We see central move up.
Surely if it comes to wall, I still think they have pretty much of a prior to get in there.
They're in a super solid spot, depending on where the zone pulls.
However, if we're looking at, you know, storm capture, perhaps it might be a little bit tougher.
I think overall they can make this happen.
And now it's literally do or die.
If they have one, maybe two more, like two doughnuts,
they need to drop like a 40 bomb to make it through,
and we can't have that happen.
Well, we saw what being able to get a good POI draft
can happen in the earlier series for some of these squads.
Now you're saying it's looking good here for Aurora.
What are we expecting of Aurora in these last three matches?
God, they just need one pop-off game.
They just need to do everything within this first one,
and I reckon they're going to be absolutely OK.
Well, let's see if that's going to happen.
Ladies and gentlemen, the final three games of the group stage is here.
Let's send it over to Dan Gaskin in onset.
Thank you so much. Here we go.
Then everybody has time to send some teams home.
The group stages will come to its conclusion in three games time.
We haven't got many games left.
There is not a lot of points left for these teams to accumulate.
Dan, it's scary time getting a little bit terrifying for these players.
You can feel the nerves amongst the audience,
the players amongst the coaches amongst the casters amongst the analysts. Everyone is just feeling it at the moment and for good reason because we will be sending six teams home. We know what that cutoff is right now. 65 points is what everyone is chasing. But all the meanwhile, teams are still trying to qualify for the top 15 mark. You're trying to get into those finals where we get match
right now certainly is indeed remember top 14 straight through to match point
finals to everybody else you're gonna play a long day tomorrow to join them and
have the opportunity to make the match point finals but unfortunately the real
story here is who is going home six teams will be eliminated today at the end
of these three games and the place it's all gonna take place is Starfighting.
And the one team that is in that bottom six right now that is on the tip of
everyone's tongues. Aurora, can they do better here on Storm Point? They're at
Seto Station. They prioritize this as their POI draft. Expect them to put
points on the board here, but will it be enough? Well, they've got an option to
rotate nice and quickly from Seto. One of the most central POIs that is available
here on Storm Point, so if they can't make the most of this, they'll look
themselves in the mirror and they've really only got themselves to blame.
JDG have started to come to life. It's been the story of some of the big teams
coming back to life today down in this day of group play. The question is,
can Aurora do the same or are they going to be the first captain team?
A lot of the teams we thought were dead in the water have been able to have that one game to just put them in the comfort zone.
Aurora need the same. One win here, suddenly it changes everything.
It changes the narrative. It changes their confidence.
Now, in terms of where we're going for zone, we're heading up to the northeast.
Great news for the likes of Vision, PXX and Four Fun Esports,
who can just be able to transition pretty quickly into this one.
and then composition wise, Mark, we are seeing a lot of Gibraltar and for good reason, Gibby is going to be very important in this one.
But what that does allow is Valkyrie going into match five.
It certainly does indeed.
Now one thing to keep an eye on here is with the zone, Lightning Rod is going to be very, very busy, very, very early.
Looking at where the finish could be though, potentially on that hillside, actually between Stormcatcher and Elrod is where we could end up.
So a lot of options for teams to play. They can get there early.
But if you're arriving late, you are going to be relying on that Gibraltar
Newcastle combination to give you that cover to play.
Yeah, still 14 Valkyries, but not enough to get banned,
which means you will be available for match five.
So expect to see a lot of Skyward dives going into that last circle,
or at least the second to last circle.
For now, some of those teams who are further away can prioritize on looting
and making sure they can get those evos up a little bit as well.
Then you've got the early movers, the likes of JDG,
the likes of four fun vision Z to the vision also moving very fast from zoo station as well. It would be a little bit of a
Cinderella story if pirates managed to come back from the position they started the day in rock bottom
But they've got some work to do and they've started pretty well 24 points from the three games confidence certainly on the up
Because after yesterday's performance it probably was about as low as you could get but the team liquid has been a quiet start in this series as
Well now they've done the majority of the work, but remember even if you qualify for that match point finals in that top 14
Where you place is going to affect your POI draft position
So they need to find some points here to give them the best POI draft to make sure they're comfortable in those finals
Yeah, currently liquid sitting in fourth in the overalls
Which would be a pretty good position for the POI draft that they have GG and AG Global both breathing down their necks
And maybe an outsider of Zeddy
there is a possibility the liquid could drop as low as 7th after these games and yeah, okay
You still in a relatively good spot jumps if you hydra, but not as good as being in the top three top four
AG
What the way to go here?
I think they recognize that with where the zone is they're probably not going to have the best of prior to it
So just taking time to make sure that you both are as high as they can be on those shields making sure the attachments are as
Juicy as they can be on those guns as well
the team who are entering into
the wall just ahead of them that
you saw in that zip line. And
then outside of the zone here,
Trinity and Aurora taking a look
at each other and what an
impactful fight this could be.
Effect was down, but has been
ticked back up. It was something
I wanted to bring a little bit
of an attention to as well.
Effect throughout split one was
incredible. He was oftentimes
bringing this team through,
slaying out, being the top
the team and in the lobby at
times he has not found that same
kind of consistency at this land
yet. Is there too much pressure on
his shoulders and how is he going to deal with this pressure
was the interesting proposition that they're running
here as well alter.
Sparrow and few. So when we talk about that zone
and how open it can be, not really a lot of options
for any legend cover from the abilities
that are available for Aurora. So it's going to
have to be brute force the way that they work
that they work their way into this zone hasn't started great for them like you mentioned already effect was down
But it's been brought back up and outside of the zone Trinity still holding them on that high down to Aurora
Might have to think about just wrapping down to the south here
The thing is the Aurora of old the Aurora we saw through the split would happily take that flight
But they're a little bit worried now because they don't have that much time left with only three matches available
Anyway, PXX having the bubble here JDG are gonna be on the other side of this a couple of bubbles going down. I
Think everyone should be safe
the third part is awaiting. You
don't really want to be taking
a fight and even with. PXX
losing a player thanks to the
triple take here of blasts. You
have to be a brain man and a
brain team to want to push onto
this. If you're either JDG or
Gigi giving up his spot last
trying to hit the toes there
with the triple take just letting
the rest of the teams know that
Gigi are certainly present and
in that area has been a slower
at the moment in the overalls, but they also have a chance to push themselves up a little bit further for that POI draft.
The GDG, first place in the series right now, started in the bottom six before we got into this,
and they've secured their spot in the survival stage, but how far can they go?
I'm not sure they're going to be able to have enough to get all the way to match point finals,
but it's not impossible. They were to get a couple more wins, but AG Global and enter 436,
continuing to be a little bit too close for Compton and I think we're about to get this
engagement that we thought we might get a few moments ago. Gibiol's going to go down.
A.G. of course to drop. And Joseph will get that knock, however the mother load
from the fuse of Janya is going to make sure that that gets even up. Obby whoops this though he
drops in with a master, he gets absolutely deleted. And Zidam now, no Valkyrie to escape from here so
So he's going to try and win this 1v1. Drop time, nasal jumps, back up into the skies.
Brilliant.
But he's going to try and deny this res.
He dropped down just to initially deny the res, but he felt like he was at a little bit of a disadvantage.
Now the bubbles come up. This is going to be stoked up, but he re-engages once more, gets to a 1v1.
Yeah, that's the renown coming in, so still a 1v1.
Knockdown shields being played with. Sit down.
It's just a missile swarm, but it's not connected with many bodies here.
It's connected with knockdowns, but the big shots, they're the ones that count!
And it's going to be AG who win it in the clutch coming in from Nierzel.
And then to 436, a team who is very much at risk and vulnerable,
down towards the bottom of the leaderboards, they needed that fight.
They're on 68 points at the moment.
Only five points ahead from those chasing teams who are in the bottom six.
So they're going to have to sit, wait, and hope some of those teams below
and get eliminated thereafter, because they're the first team to go.
I say you or L excuse me just moving out the front of command center at the moment trying to work their way uphill towards where this zone is going to be going to be love or in front of them.
Grab that Evo Harvest that means that there's going to be a little bit more comfortable for them to do because they've got the purple perks available now thanks to those armors being leveled up having that triple give you hope is going to be very, very important here for Jessica.
A few of these teams now just taking their time with this rotation. They don't need to rush. They know they are going to be beaten to a lot
Of the prioritized areas, but there are of course ring consoles survey beacons
You can hit on your way just to gain that extra little bit of information
And hopefully they get a little bit more comfortable when you do arrive to that zone later on
And so you will just need to be aware that there could be a team in the area
So they're just scouting things out at the moment as we check back in with the pirates
You said it would be quite
something if they were able to
find their way out for these
elimination places. Not
impossible. There is so many
points still available here with
three matches to be played.
I say you did just go back into
the momentarily to bring
control. My God, he's still a
big boy even though he can move.
I'm just the best that you will actually try and take the high ground off of dino's here around the spider cave outside of
Come on sensor in the meantime. Igarasi is down on his back
Let's stop our people with this long boat
He's giving them some openings here however looks like Igarasi we brought back to his feet new castles off his job
Trinity will continue on their rotate Trinity who are in dead last in the moment
They can't afford to be going out early in these games
They need to have what feels like a miracle at this point if they are going to find themselves into that survival stage tomorrow
We check back in now with AG who are starting to approach onto GG here
Well, yeah, goers just blew blasts up young york had already taken down Zane
Paul's look up
Kind of behind the office desk trying to survive and even though he gets one GG will be eliminated
This is happening all the way over in zoo station deep into zone
And the Neersall brought back to his feet.
They will have the opportunity to hit a survey beacon here, A.G.
And possibly hit the balloon.
There is over here on the north side of Zoo Station
to catapult themselves into zone.
However, it's very busy and even that survey beacon,
even though I tell them where everyone is,
doesn't look like there's many places for them to go.
A.G. Global now send themselves up into third in the overalls,
just with those three kills.
That's how close it is in the top five of the overalls at the moment.
Again, they have a fantastic chance to potentially finish second in the overalls really when you
look at it, competing with S8UL to try and prioritize themselves in that POI draft.
The other way of what the POI draft is, by the way, if you're a newer viewer, the teams
get to draft which POI they will be dropping at, which can be such an important factor
to the ALGS.
Certainly can.
ZipLine Mafia, by the way, the perfect picture of the name of the team in that moment.
just in unison with hitting that zipline to get up to the north, a bit of a replay of some long slow shots coming in earlier, it didn't mean too much.
Let's check that place out.
They did get that res momentarily.
That's pretty much the most action we've actually seen outside of the POP of AG Global, who have been looking to take the fight, speaking of which, here is another fight, and hey, surprise, surprise, who's on the end of it?
It's AG Global, they're running at everyone on this northern side.
This is one of our top teams against one of our bottom teams is Trinity out in 18th place
It's more doom and gloom for them. They are getting closer and closer to elimination from the whole tournament right now
As a G just keep powering through speaking of elimination
Aurora down to just the arcanao the arc on the sparrow inside of zone
This is not good for Aurora fans. We're a trying to sneak back to his teammate
And even though they can get one up potentially here, in fact, it's just a death box.
And maybe you can steal in, grab that banner, and then dip out the other way, but they've very much got focused as they try to wrap on this eastern side.
It's Sator Division who have eyes on them, and for fun also joining in as PXX do get eliminated in that kill feed.
them. Team Liquid seem to be in their sides closer now. This is just a good
rotation as they start to get closer towards the northern side of this zone
as well. They're happy to take any fights full of confidence right now. By the way,
all the meanwhile Aurora have been able to wrap round to the southern side as a
duo relocating. Don't know if they're gonna get much of a chance to get back up
to a three right now unless they can find a crafter on their way, which there
There are crafters, but there are also teams in those areas as well.
So, AG not quite safe as yet.
What's the next play-for-dome, mate?
Slide down towards the cannon.
On the bottom side of the hill, you can see Oireane and the remaining duo of Aurora.
Now these kind of moments, these kind of games, as a duo, sometimes something special happens.
One thing that helps, being a duo, is when you've got a mobile reach warm beacon and you've got a fetch banner,
and all of a sudden, with 20 seconds left on the zone, effect is going to rejoin Aurora.
They still have so much work to do, but at least they can do it together.
All the work was going down, said one mafia were eliminated from the lobby.
DCG know where Aurora are, and they just want to hold them out here.
Red just arrived in the area as well from Skyward Dive, so there'll be two teams holding out Aurora,
but you have to give credit to Hiyaka grabbing the banner and being able to get his full team back up now.
So they've at least given themselves a chance.
And you might be wondering, you know, why are we focusing so much on Aurora? Hiyaka's down.
Aurora, one of the best performing Amia teams that we had during Split 1.
Effect arguably the best fragger in the game or one of the best fraggers in the game.
And at the moment, they are struggling. They are in those elimination places.
And with the IGL down, and the fuse already used here by Ori Rain, what is the plan?
Effect is having to squint because he's got absolutely no attachments, no sights on either
of his weapons, and they are just being peppered, being held down with 50 seconds left.
It is looking like an absolute nightmare for Aurora in this game.
Team Liquid to the skies though.
They will slam into this spot.
The wall goes down, the bubble goes down as well, and they're able to stabilize here.
Have the new castle as well, that castle wall is going to be planted, I imagine my both teams
went past them, but if you stay up, Liquid get aggressive, they apply a lot of damage.
For fun, they desperately need to stabilize, and the gen gets ripped away from them. That's good pressure.
From Liquid, only top men's to Liquid, the Zeta Division, they're looking across at them and not letting them push.
Every time they're trying to step up and capitalise on the damage that was done,
They were the ones who went down, AG Global, finally.
Everyone on Terra has been ended, and it's gonna be by Team Vision who get those kills.
And Pulse, give me the pirates.
Vision and pirates.
Both in very different positions. Vision are chasing the top 14.
Pirates are just trying to stay alive right now.
What a huge fight nonetheless.
That's if it even happens, as Ori reigns just gone down in the kill feed as well.
So then bubbles forward Aurora have been eliminated two games to save the tournament for Aurora
13 squads now remain
And every single step every single move and every single pull of the trigger
But just two games remaining
It comes more and more
Important to how these teams day is going to end I mean every five matters right now
And as you say every fuller feels like it's impactful
you missed or hit as Dog Red
get eliminated on the South.
They were held out by DCG.
Three or four teams up on this
building. You've got Pirates Team
Vision. You've got Neo and you've
got Dino's all on top of each
other. When Zach makes it down,
Carter has a lot of work to do,
but the double swing comes in
from Neo. Loater. It's all up to
you. Just back through the void
passage, back behind the
back behind the knockdown, but we're just 10 HP. It's not enough to survive.
Team Vision will be eliminated, but they're on the cusp of top 14 at the moment.
They put points on the board. That's what matters as they chase a position in the match point finals.
As now the bombardment start to come down, people start to use those ultimates just to try and
reposition because you get desperate now. When we move from this next zone, there's no more
buildings left available. It's going to be a lot down to those Gibralters in the bubble,
Just to give you a little bit of space.
DJ Pillar.
Thread in the needle with that R9, but as you can see, they just can't push at the moment.
Someone needs to leave this building.
Well, someone needs to take this fight. There's only 15 seconds left to look.
How far they have to go. JDG, they will be eliminated next in the lobby as well.
It's Zeddy Esports who take them down. The team's in best position right now for fun.
SAUL and Team Liquid. Zated Vision also in a fantastic spot.
Yeah, four funds movement over to that eastern side has been huge for them a massive chance to win this game
The biggest problem is gonna be team liquid. We look though at TIE right now
We're about to go up into the sky
Assess the lay of the land and they're gonna notice that a lot of these positions it would have liked to have played have been taken already
They're gonna land right between four fun and team liquid Zeddy landing in a few moments time as well
their pirates also up in the skies a lot of teams taking the area route. Now Nioh having done it latest
have the opportunity to see if there's a third party that they can land upon. Instead it's going
to have to be the low ground here and they're going to have to get that bubble down nice and
quickly. Look at the damage that they've taken though. Liquid are holding strong on this high ground.
Liquid relugged them to commit though. They're just going to wait for this bubble to pass and
they should be able to delete Nioh relatively easily. They're just worried about the other teams
teams to their east.
Free charge goes in.
Reload just been eliminated in the meantime.
Neo are out of next. Liquid pick up a couple of kills there.
Panic will take home two.
Zero finds another one. Liquid stays so healthy
during that fight as well. Look at the bubbles though.
Just popping up all over this zone.
It's a great indication of how little cover there is to play.
We're like in a theme park with the amount of bubbles
available right now. But you're just going to look at
eight teams. Make it seven as Dino's
get eliminated. TIE
go down. We're down to
to six squads. There's not enough playable space. There's not enough cover for all of these teams to hold together.
As Team Liquid still will hold the high ground here at the moment, but they are being pressured by two.
Well, Pirates are leaving it all out there in these games. Three games gone in this series.
They've played the best Apex they have all tournament long, and now they're involved in the end game.
One man who could change a team's fortune though is on your screen. Jelly has an infinite ammo crave up.
and one bullet changes maybe just the complete flow of this end game if he can connect with that latest kill from team Liquid and the latest assist from zero.
That is his 1000th career assist in the ARGS. Quite a big milestone to pass.
Legacy's position really important here for SAUL. He is closest to where the stone is going to end.
And in the safest spot, and they are trained upon the position of the Pirate.
Sharky's gonna take down Kai and I, forcing the bubble.
Once he's taken up into the skies there, didn't quite catch who that was.
It's gonna be Team Liquid, actually with a late Valkoel here, to see where everyone's positioned.
And to try and flush someone out. Pirates still alive, by the way.
They are surviving, but by the Barrister margins.
The Barrister ball margins, we've got six Gibraltas, all available.
It's going to be six bubbles and actually we might see a few more skyward dives because everyone knows once these bubbles go down
You have no cover
Well the pirates are known
Usually for what they do on the sea but this time it's going to be the skies that they go to as they hit the
Valkyrie
For fuck trying to stop the reds coming in from the individual up on that high ground
So to get you could down for fun having a fantastic series really flowing now as we check back in with the pirates
You haven't heard about sky pirates. I know for a while they can do some damage
Well, Nate should get the armor swap, but he's gonna take down some bodies before he's done so.
Can he deny the rest here from Zeddy Esports?
Four fighter down, top five, top four!
And Zeddy will fall, and the pirates are Nate!
They're making a late run here!
And Nate can go up into the sky, avoids all the gunfire, and actually there's a position to play here.
You can go on none, no you can't.
S-A-U-L, they do spot him.
Can he buy enough time though, to get healthy?
He's gonna jet up into the skies, and that's gonna be the end of the pirates,
But it's another good game for them, SAUL, just down to Legacy here.
But Team Liquid look like they're cleaning up the low ground.
Liquid have had this plan from the very start, it's been calculated and methodical.
And now they just need to finish it off.
It's 3 vs 1 vs 1.
Satuki down, Yuka down, Legacy.
The solo alive for SAUL and might the last player here to try and deny the clear win.
And the road to victory for Team Liquid.
Team Liquid will put another win on the board and another statement to put them up there as one of the favourites for this tournament.
They send themselves up into second place in the overalls. They want the best possible position in that POI draft.
And I tell you what, there is an outside chance that they could catch a lead e-sports. They would probably need two wins from this point.
But again, not impossible.
I mean, it's an exhausting one for an IGL. There's so much you have to keep tabs on.
Some brave decisions made as well to sometimes hold their position other times to say, look,
if we still have to keep tabs on, we're going to have to keep tabs on.
So, I mean, it's a great game.
I mean, it's a great game.
I mean, it's a great game.
I mean, it's a great game.
the team. We're going to have
to talk about it. It's an
awkward conversation. It's a
difficult conversation. Aurora
again for. Sometimes hold their
position other times to say,
look, if we sky would die, we
gained so much information over
the rest of the lobby. We can
reassess. And in that meantime,
think of all the damage that's
been done to some of the other
teams as well. But huge points
gained for so many teams that
needed it in various different
ways, whether they're looking to
try and survive or whether
they're looking to try and find
a place in those match point
Aurora again fall. They really do not look comfortable. They try to wrap on that eastern
side on the hillside towards the zone. They got caught out by their division who are watching
their back and from there just weren't able to reset, weren't able to get comfortable
and they fall early in the lobby again. My question to you, have they left it too late
Is there enough time for Aurora to get themselves out of this mess?
Judging by the composition we just saw, they're uncomfortable.
They're not finding the points they would usually find.
This is not a composition we would have seen in Split 1
when they are looking for points on Stormpoint from Ceto Station.
That being said, it was a relatively difficult zone for them.
If they get one that's a little bit more favourable,
they are a team that can put big wins on the board
and they're going to need it.
You heard what Graceful said.
You need 30 points plus really to feel comfortable here,
if not more.
Aurora are capable of it,
but listening to the interview from Effect,
he said, look, it's our first time on LAN,
things are a little bit shaky,
and you can see it in the way they are playing.
But they still have two, and that's what's important.
Team Liquid looking like a championship winning team right now.
They have to say, the form that they're in,
the way that they're fighting,
and the way that Zero is calling zones and IGL-ing them into fantastic positions.
It feels like they've got everything. A little bit of magic from Panic.
The solid kind of control that Sykes has given them on those anchor legends that he's playing.
And like I said, the way that Zero is IGL-ing is absolutely superb.
You really are seeing the best of Liquid and what you expected to see when this team came together.
They are all playing the best we've seen as a team.
We've seen them play incredible on separate teams before they've never really gelled like this in this way
And we knew it was coming
It felt like it was just a matter of time before we saw them at the top and they really are putting all those pieces together
As we look at some of those results by the way AG Global they finished down in 15th
But they got nine kill points. We saw the strategy
They were rolling here as they were pushing every team in their way
And as we look back at some of the highlights
I was saying how it was very important for some of these teams to find points
but we now have our first second, oh sorry, our second confirmed team eliminated from the competition.
Team Heretics have fallen into that pot of six, and remember, they've already finished all their games,
so Team Heretics are out of the tournament.
It's a shame, of course, we have to send these teams home, we've got four more spots, unfortunately, available for other teams to fill up,
and unfortunately, they're the ones who do not want to be in, as it means you'll be going home.
This is the end game that we did see here. Xeha Division did such a good job, I will say, in a lot of those final moments.
And I think great zone call again from there. One thing I've been very impressed about with Xeha
is the fact that they've kind of adjusted from what we saw on day one to be a little bit more zone-orientated
as the tournament has continued, did it. That did well, and they've looked extremely good.
Randa and Snipe down on the floor. What did you take away from that previous game?
Well, thank you gentlemen. It's hard not to take away another team liquid win.
top performers across almost every single day we've had a group stage here at
the ALGS split one playoffs at EWC 26, Reinde and Snipe Down. This is
green room talk on stage. Snipe, you've been watching these games. Obviously we
got to lead with another team Liquid win. They're forcing us to talk about them.
That's not been the characteristic over the course of this split, but on land
they've become a different beast. Yeah, I mean what better time to start
catching your stride than right now? You have zero who's just been one of the
most accolate IGLs in the world and missing the last event. It sounds like
He's got to come into this one, do twice as good
and get that first place.
He's one of the only things that he's missing
is that EWC title.
And honestly, right now, I mean,
we've seen the two most consistent teams
are Liquid and Elite.
And they haven't slowed down at any of these lobbies.
Elite almost went three for three
in winning every single one of their groups.
And now Liquid's honestly in a similar situation
where they're right at the top and just continuing that.
So it's impressive to see how well these teams have done
and they're showing up when it matters most.
North America and Amia have found the most success
at the highest of levels in this lobby.
But there are teams who have found not a lot of success.
We've seen one already go home.
That's heretics.
But we've got other teams like TLNP, pirates, who actually
are all French, featuring Zidane, a former championship
winner with Hierca, who's also a member of Aurora.
You would think maybe one of those teams
would have the edge on the other,
but they're both struggling a little bit.
Not quite safe yet.
Talk to me a little bit about the struggles
and on the bottom end for pirates.
Yeah, TLNP was one of the bottom three teams.
I think they came in today at 40th with mid 20s points.
So for them to already be performing this, well,
they are in contention to make it out of that.
I thought the bottom three was done for.
They're coming in today with just how these performances
were in the continuation.
I don't know if it's the Nasky effect,
if it's the Zanon and having that championship IGL with you,
but honestly, bringing in someone who has that ability
that to calm you down, bring in some laughs.
You know, he's a jokester.
And he saw it when we were talking about it up top.
Like we looked at Aurora who was just dead silent.
They weren't really having problems.
Then we looked at TLMP.
They were laughing with each other there.
You know, that was not a team you see on screen
that looked like they were in contention for elimination.
And I love that.
I love that energy.
And having that just makes it feel like, you know,
we're taking this serious, but no one's blaming anyone.
And we're going into this thinking, we got this.
And right now, they are in a position
to continue that on a couple more games
with five, six points of peace.
And they might be pushing that 70 point threshold,
which is going to be ripe to cut off.
At least Nasky doesn't have them doing
any shenanigans with the Tritons.
because Triton don't exist anymore in Apex.
So we'll leave that one in the past.
Good stuff, Nasty, for keeping the boys engaged as well.
Let's talk and shift focus quickly
before we get back into our games.
On to a teammate of, I guess, a teammate
that said this about Duplex underrated.
This team's setty with Deeds, Duplex, obviously, Jelly.
They have been so good, and they found a way
to kind of have that slow start turn into something
that will allow them to continue in this tournament
if they keep it up.
Yeah, I mean, this is another team with amazing vibes.
I was talking to Jelly and Duplex a little bit.
yesterday we were sitting in the stands together and I mean this was one of the
most underrated teams they were barely at the North American cutoff to make it
here I think they were one of the 11th or 12 seats coming into this from
America's yeah right there and for them to be here it's impressive you know Deeds
is second place at last EWC and for him to come here be the only one from that
roster still here I'm sure there's a lot of experience that he can bring to them
and it's really cool to see them do that well and now they're pushing to get
into that top 14 they're really close to that cutoff so we'll be watching that as
we go forward. Hopefully Deeds is also saying guys I know elimination is on the
But when you get second, there's a lot of good stuff that happens to your bank account when you are at EWC
So keeping the site set on the prize
Hopefully deeds is up in the voice to be connected. All right, so I thanks so much for the interview and chat
We've got more games coming up these two games. They're gonna determine
Officially who stays and who goes home? So do not go anywhere more apex coming up
On that apex is gonna continue right now as we head it towards the next match on the store point only two more games
to go to save your tournament.
Well, maybe solidify a position in
tomorrow's all the grand finals or
match point finals, which is coming up
of course on the final day here at
EWC. Now, let's talk about cutoffs
down. Let's talk about points. This
is where you do your best work. And
I'm very excited for you to tell us
exactly what number is the cutoff
right now. The cutoff is currently
67 and I'm sure the Zoomers would be
excited for that one. But Kurosami
Havoc, they find themselves in that
spot. They're safe right now. But if
One more team passes them, they will be eliminated from the competition as well, just as heretics were, because they've already played all of their games.
But, one thing that does favor them, they are 10 points clear over any team that is currently playing at the moment.
If we were to see Dog Red, Pirates, Aurora and Trinity all fail for the next two games, Kurosami could still somehow scrape through.
So there's still a chance, is what you're saying?
There's always a chance.
People would assume it's bouncing, by the way, when you said the number, it's a...
I mean, judging by the player, we've had like six of them do six sevens during media.
So maybe they were the ones bouncing. That's true. That's true. The simply continue bouncing
on our main stage, though, as we head into the next game, we're in the character selection
screen. Interesting to see what compositions we give you run now because we always see
things get a little bit spicy when it comes to comps. Teams down at the bottom start to
get a little bit desperate. We saw some interesting compositions being put together to try and
a little bit more aggressive from some teams because they know quite simply they have to get
points and the best way to do that, the only way for them to do that is to pick up some team wipes.
We really are going to see some interesting things going together when it comes to conflicts,
when it comes to team fights and aggression in this game number five. And a key factor to those
compositions, there is no Gibraltar available. Gibraltar is banned after the pick rate that we
saw in match four. It does still mean Valkyrie is still available to take you up into the skies,
But it's suddenly very difficult when you're landing if you don't have that bubble available.
So the pick rate for Valkyrie will go down significantly here,
but still expect lots of new castle available.
Maybe some rampart to come in as a little bit of a replacement for Gibby.
No more cover for my brothers.
We'll have to see who kind of fills that role.
Newcastle might be able to do so.
Watson starting to come to the four as well.
A little bit of rampart, a little bit of ults up.
And Fuse is also in the lobby.
Pathfinder also.
Great.
There's a lot of different compositions.
As we say as we go into this game number five, the penultimate game of the group stages.
And we're starting off with Team Liquid, the winners of game number four.
Oh, I love it when this happens, by the way. Newcastle is the most picked legend.
So going into match six, no Gibi, no Newcastle, which changes everything.
Now, bang, there you go, Aurora.
There is your chance to stay alive in this tournament.
It is a great zone, close to Ceto Station.
You can prioritize your movement fast.
That being said, I am double checking to see whether they have a ring console,
that's what we're talking about
is that does change things here.
But are they going for a different
composition? Yes, they are. It
doesn't matter. They're going for
Sparrow, Bangalore and the altar
here with their comp. So expect
Aurora to be looking for fights
rather so than hunkering down.
Interesting to see how they're
actually going to play this one.
It's a zone where they had prior,
but they don't know that they had
prior. So the team liquid their
of the game. I'm sure there's
going to be a lot of fans
hoping so, especially those
here in the region of Amir in
Europe. Very popular players.
And Aurora. This is an
interesting decision. They are
hunting Trinity Trinity are the
lowest team we have. In the
competition right now. Bottom of
the barrel of the barrel of
in the competition right now. Bottom of the barrel leaderboards.
Aurora potentially looking to see whether they could pick up some free KP here.
The other side is Dog Red, who are another team who are down in the bottom six.
So there is a clear game plan here for Aurora.
Over to Jurassic's centre of storm point for fun.
34 points on the board for them.
So I'm fifth place in this particular series.
And look at the kill feed.
the end, but typically they
would have just moved and looked
at, you know, play the game a
little bit more normally, but
they've gone for something.
Let's feel really out of left
field. They've tried to push
teams. They're a little bit
weaker that they might think.
And they've been punished for
it because both teams sandwiched
them in the end. They will be
able to get him back up, but
they're going to be late
arrival. So expect to see Aurora
chasing down some teams as we
check in now with Neo who are
currently being chased by AG
global. We know that AG global
are relentless with their
this has gone pretty well for
us previously. This is the
shot from row high. Chadinga

it. It's looking for a new
castle. What do I? Hurts. You
sure the new castle did

beacon, though. From dog read
over at being zones getting
very busy. They're down a lot of
They probably wouldn't really want to fight each other.
That being said, if you do win that engagement,
you get one step closer.
And Dog Red said, yeah, we don't really fancy it.
We've got enough information from our survey beacon.
The units isn't there coming up.
Oh, DCG!
Rest in peace.
It's for fun. You pick up the HKP.
For fun on the hunt,
they're trying to secure themselves in the match point finals.
final is and even though they're a little bit off, again still doable, they are 10 points off the cut at the moment.
That is not unachievable in two matches by any means. On the other side, but we love DCG.
There are only 13 points ahead of the teams that are chasing them.
So again, it is another difficult position to find yourself in going into that match six because those 13 points can definitely be cut down here.
Rohai been in usurance with this charge rifle.
Just give it a little check in on where Aurora are, by the way.
AG Global are over on the northern side of Checkpoint, which is where Aurora are trying
to rotate to to hit a ring console.
This is what we're seeing right now.
Now, do AG know they're there?
Well, they will now because Sparrow Arrow is going to let them know that somebody's close.
to see if they can pick up
anything here. He's a G global
that they're chasing and
honestly with power or have been
playing in the moment, it's
going to they're not going to be
confident about a fight, let alone
are we going to be confident in
watching them take said fight.
And almost just feels like they
need one. And you know, we speak
about an open speaking a lot about
effect, right? But he are a land
champion. Bear in mind potentially
being eliminated in the group
in the group stages here at ALJS split one playoffs at EWC 2026.
I'll have to see if they can pull something out of the back here.
TLE down the low ground of Barometer, though.
They're going to have the Watson fences up.
Hold on to the Gen for now.
Interesting to see the position that Team Liquid did take, actually.
Dropping over here at Barometer.
They're playing this much western hut that you can see at the top of the zip line.
So they obviously believe that the zone is going to be pulling their way away
the main structure where they played so successfully yesterday.
Neo on the hunt here.
This is a long way away from where the zone is going to be going.
And it's AG on the other side of it.
And even though you feel a bit stronger on that zipline,
when everybody's shooting at you, even the zipline can't save you.
These could be some important kills for Neo as well.
They're another one of these teams that are down
towards the bottom of the leaderboards.
Outside of said elimination places right now, but certainly catchable.
We want to try and create as much distance as possible, not just in this current situation, but also in the leaderboards as well.
Yanya looks like he's going to be the player to just hold them off a little bit and allow the third two to run away and escape.
And Neil will be more than happy. An extra KP they'll be delighted about.
They'll take you.
That's another point on the board. You can't take that one away from them.
And these all did manage to get out on the pathfinder, which is always a good thing.
question for you. Are you usually the player that puts your life on the line to allow your teammate to escape or are you the one escaping mark? I've already left. I don't think that's actually true. You're the first to go down.
I don't know what I'm talking about, only after I've killed two.
Killed two, where are ya?
Vision, they are very close by the way, to knocking Virtus.pro down into the survival stage.
One more point for Vision, and they will find themselves currently in the top 40.
It's a Division who are inside of the POI to their south, and they're just holding this hillside for the moment.
that's what happens when
Gibby is banned. And that's
great news for those teams who
are outside those elimination
places. It is one of our teams
in the bottom six eliminated,
not getting any points. And
dog red still find themselves
10 points shy of that cut off.
Now they have one more game to
try and find enough points to
stay alive. And that's what
off now they have one more game to try and find enough points to stay alive I'm
saying they're moving up they're actually taking the height away
where's he vision where Lugger's gonna get caught out here and he's gonna get
taken down Satuki and a combination of Yuka will do that damage but that's
amazing great shots with that ulcinates and the double tap going crazy but
there's the movement from Yuka he's absolutely lost him and Yuka makes this
It's interesting.
Kata reloads that R929, swings behind the knockdown shield.
Can't quite connect.
Has to change to the hemlock.
Reloads the R9, Kata versus Yuka.
Inside the mess that is the knockdown, he's firing blind.
And he will win that fight.
Kata will delete later.
A huge fight to win for vision.
It puts them temporarily.
Here comes Dino into that top 14, but now Dino's arrived.
Carter, the priority is escaping.
See if you can get away.
Yes, you bank those points.
Yes, you're into the top 14,
but you still want to go that one step further.
Zack has both hands up in the air.
It's almost a cinema pose from him,
but I don't think it is cinema.
If Carter gets taken down,
he's going to try desperately to hit this cannon
to escape, but he just about manages to do so.
But where is this landing?
I tell you what, it looks like it's safe.
the other side of the fence line
in front of them. There is a
craft up just up this hill. And
Carter might have done enough to
survive here, but it should. And
to be honest, I think I'm fairly
certain with those kills vision
may not even be able to be caught
with the position they find
themselves in that top 14. Of
course, I'll leave that for the
admins, but they are pretty safe
at 109. It does put Virtus Pro
down into that survival stage
unlimited. Now would be the next
I'm thinking that maybe Alliance might be okay at 1-0-8, but we will wait and see as we take a look at that zone and where it's going to be heading.
Aurora have been able to find themselves on that western side, Mark. I mean, it's not a bad area.
And if you look at their route in, it is Trinity that is waiting there for them.
Yeah, zone pool is going to be interesting. If it keeps going towards Team Liquid in that western side, and of course they made that zone call off of the bat they dropped to Barometer,
then Aurora might be on the quieter side of this zone.
Now, Carter's deep in zone right now.
And if he is being chased down, and from one cannon to the next, Carter is a human cannonball.
I mean, amazing really when you look at some of the positions these teams find themselves in,
and how every single fight, what is going on?
That's so much as we're having a fight in zone between Neo and AG Global.
This is Zone 3, by the way, so this hurts everybody involved.
Nioh are deep inside his own holding AG Global. AG Global thinking what's going on here then.
After getting that reset after we saw initially, there's only Aguarius who managed to get away.
And now with the zipline going down, you have to wonder if it'll be the second time we see this
fight ending in the same way. It's just a silly fight to take really, isn't it? Very silly is how
I'm describing it. Yeah, you're quite right. I mean, less to lose for AG Global and Nioh,
they're probably just thinking like we just need to put points on the board so they're
also just very eager to get involved in some fights as well thinking that maybe they won't get
the chance for points later on it's for fun in the kill feed once more. Now the zone has to check
in with Zeddy Esports and Doofies and pull back to his feet. Jelly from behind the gen. That's jelly's
gen don't go near it. Zeddy have been going quietly about their business throughout this tournament.
There is nothing quiet about this fight at the moment. They are more than happy to be aggressive in the middle of the game, but they've walked into a Watson fence. Ever do that.
They're sending out the kickstart drawing here to try and survive.
KXX trying to move in alongside Dynast here, so they're going to mess with the bottom of the perimeter.
KXD has to slam the castle wall down just to try and get Peter back to his feet.
There's more nexuses. There's
guns with no bullets in them that need to be reloaded. There's new castle walls. There's DJ killer. It's absolute chaos.
They're at the bottom of barometer. It's chaos. It's carnage. It's an effect in the result of it all. Will anyone actually benefit from it?
Because they may all just be scooped up by the last remaining team that comes on in to join these.
As Dino, they walk back, they can go back up.
Is everyone going to survive here?
Everyone may survive, but GDG not surviving.
Nioh and now getting aggressive onto them.
They want their kills.
AG Global have been eliminated.
In the meantime, Nioh now just down to 1.
Naughty, caught off guard.
Shubi almost going to be taken down on my 1v2.
But not enough to survive as Vision move in.
Zed E-Sports also eliminated after Neo go down, but the zone is what I wanted to talk about.
It's moved all the way to the northern side of Barometer.
Aurora now, have a chance!
Neo do get kills on the board though.
And even though Neo had previously left the ring to try and go kill Vision,
then got killed by Vision,
what's important was they got those 3KP, which puts them into 30th position.
Just create that gap that I was talking about from the chasing teams.
We'll give them a lot more security going into match six.
Now, there's the preview of the zone you were talking about.
We head up north-east here.
Pirates are going to take one of those buildings.
Pirates who currently sit in 36th position on 58 points,
9 points away from that cutoff.
And Parris will pop off if the pirates manage to survive today after where they started off.
I mean, we have to give Paris something to cheer about today, right?
Nothing else happened in here.
You are a brave, brave man.
A braver man than I.
Well, Aurora, as we check back in with their journey at the moment,
it's been a quiet one in this game,
but most importantly, they are still alive, which again leaves a chance.
They're on the northwestern side as S8UL.
43 points right now in this series, and they are flying.
They're in third place in the overalls as well.
But what a tournament it's been for us at UL.
Let's say Aurora have a chance.
They still have a lot to do.
Now they are close to the zone.
A lot of the teams that are on the Barrow side
will take each other down.
There are some Garfrey ults that will be being hit right now
to try and get closer to the zone.
But what do Aurora do from this position?
For fun, Esports just been eliminated in the meantime.
It's now eight teams will be in the spectate screen
watching what takes place in these final moments.
Round four is closing, 30 seconds left on it.
TIE for full next.
TIE goes down, but they're in a relatively safe position
in the moment as now Aurora start to move a little bit
closer towards zone.
They have fun and rocked as they could play around here.
I think they're trying to pin, sit by Matthew with Team
Vision, two teams staring at them.
That's a lot of damage.
They've got these KP, but it's Vision who are picking them up.
The point's ongoing to Aurora.
Unless they can get one, but they don't even get that.
I think actually, excuse me, Oirey did get one point.
But now he's going to retreat back to his teammate
when no swipe's available, he's gonna do it the old fashioned way.
Even though they didn't get the kills, just one, as you mentioned,
I think the important thing was they eliminated a team that is ahead of them.
That is the position they could play as they try and continue their rotation.
And they are putting more placements on the board as well as you get into the top 10 now.
It's one extra placement point game from the previous that they had.
Pro-highly charge rifle, still rattling them off from high ground.
I mean, I love the position of both Trinity and Pirates, by the way.
Two teams in that bottom six.
As E-36 they've spotted out, the likes of Aurora and Team Vision here are both a little bit vulnerable with where they currently reside.
Well this man knows how to win a LAN.
Obli on your screen, a huge moment for APAC North when he was able to lift that trophy.
Some time it feels to go now, SAU now moving up as Dinos will be eliminated.
And they've got to make their way a little bit closer to the zone as that northern port continues here.
GG weak inside of the building and now the swing comes in from Legacy. Beautiful stuff.
GG eliminated, half the lobby is gone, 8 squads remaining and now Legacy's got an infinite ammo
crave to play with. It's a race to second in the overalls between SAUL and Liquid at the moment as Aurora
about to enter a huge fight for their chances. Well E36 took a lot of damage and I think they
sense this they want to try and push they want to try and flush them away from
this position but you can see in the movement here we're right that they're
a little bit nervous they can't over commit they know that even if they get
kills if they take damage and it's not clean then the game could be over it's a
must-win fight but E36 are retreating they're playing zone and now suddenly
with the castle wall going down Aurora might get held out here but effect gets
It's an opener!
It's an opener!
SAUL looked down on to end of force 36 and clear the threat!
Now it'll be SAUL looking out as Oyrain will go down!
Effect does make the cross low!
They are safe in this corner but SAUL will be able to look down upon them!
But can they stick the reds here?
Oyrain has got close enough to his two teammates
that they can drop him an armor here if they wanted to
and Oro will be back in this fight, Aurora survived!
And boy did they need to!
SAUL, they got distracted by Liquid.
I think Liquid saved Aurora's life there without even knowing.
And Aurora now able to loot up as well off the death boxes of E36.
Team Visions have so much space though.
As we jump in with them, everybody else in the lobby is ahead of them,
in and around that main building.
So they can just buy their time, they can wait and walk this in if they need to.
3 battle priests left in the lobby as well, to subscribe with dive action if needed.
5 teams, make it 6 teams on this southern side by the way.
As you mentioned, vision, they hold the entire north.
I've also got confirmation with the kills vision and found in the points they are mathematically
to the right. He's going to be
through two match point finals
as well. Asac Meza's taking a
little poke towards Aurora.
He's pinging as well. He's
notifying the rest of the team
that there is a vulnerable
squad on this right hand side.
It's the last thing Aurora
want.
Take the void Nexus to join his
teammates a little bit closer to
the zone. I think there's a few
moments, Simon. Indeed he does.
vision now as a three on the outside of this structure.
Now Aurora, the good news for them
is that everyone in that building has to leave,
has to take care of each other
and may fall into their sight lines.
Now there's not a lot of KP picked up by Aurora,
but from where they were, they're involved in an endgame.
VXX eliminated, six was now remained.
Bang on could go a little bit crazy in the endgame as well.
Legacy's hitting shots as well with that Krabi.
Aurora, they just need placement points.
Team Liquid have a difficult push out here, but I love this at the moment.
Use that gen in the wall.
Just give you a little bit of cover, they're shielding and protecting as well.
Panic also.
Belly and the ammo left in that prowler.
But it might be enough to start the fight and invite vision to collapse in behind S.A.U.L.
They are going to pick up some of these kills.
Beautiful shots coming in from Carter.
As vision to control the most space in this lobby, and in this game starts a fight Trinity.
Oh god, Aurora still alive, it's all up to effect though.
He's only got around 20 HP.
He's bouncing through the portals, Aurora dead but it's a top 3.
Now over to vision to clean this up, Liquid have members down.
There is the last man standing, it's not back to back for Liquid, because it's time for Team Vision to celebrate.
Team Vigidae going to the match point finals.
The question is now, how high up can they get in that POI draft?
They're in fourth position in the overalls.
They caught the likes of S8, UL and Team Liquid to make this very interesting going into match six.
And all the meanwhile, Aurora's top three puts them two points away from that cutoff.
Wow. Pirates, their top five put them seven points away from the cut-off.
The teams that were down and out have given themselves the best opportunity they could have going into match six.
And with that win, it's the first win of the tournament for Team Vision.
And there was a moment in that game, remember, where we saw Sax hands go up.
The cinema moment. Maybe he saw the future. Maybe he saw exactly what was going to happen in that moment.
moment. Let's think about the fact that they were down to a solo a few times.
Carter had to perform some gymnastics across cannons to keep them in that
game, but I think we just got proven to us. In Apex Legends even at this level, if
you can stay in the game, you give yourself a chance. Vision win it, Aurora get
top three. Through a one point, both of those teams looked out of it.
And when your backs are against the wall, quite literally with Aurora,
They played it smart. They played it intelligently. They just looked for placement points. They just have to crawl over this finish line. It doesn't matter how they get over it as long as they get those points on the board.
But it was Vision who, as you quite rightly mentioned, from just a solo at one point to getting back up and then dominating the zone, manipulating that final circle in whatever they wanted.
They were bullying teams on the right, on the left. They just made sure they were the last team standing on the north.
team. The boys on team vision
get that win. And like you say,
solidified their position in
match point finals. They can
afford to have a little bit of a
feet up moment tomorrow. As they
watch the Apex Legends continue
with teams trying to join them.
Team vision fans feeling very
good about it. Why wouldn't you?
That magic number, by the way,
that was on that banner there.
the game, but it's there. In
number three Aurora. They get
10 points. As it stands, they
only need three more. But that
being said, there are still
teams behind them, so they
would potentially need even
more than that, depending on how
it goes. But for some of the
other teams down in the bottom,
the likes of dog red for the
the team. They're still in a
dangerous situation as well, but
one other story that is
developing for fun e Sports. They
find themselves on 101 points,
five points away from making
match point finals as it stands.
Bear in mind at the start of
this for funny sports, they were
just hoping to get a little bit
more of a chance to get a little
bit more of a chance to get
to get through to the survival
stage. And now they have an
opportunity to guarantee match
point finals. TLM Pirates, the
hometown favorites have given
themselves a chance. Is that
going to be one of the keys
that gets crushed or will the
Aurora key survive? Another day
here. We always get to the
points in the tournament. It's
like a look at the leaderboards.
I'm like, how's it one game left?
I'm like, how have we got to this
this point again. Where the
stakes are so high with the
tension is so high. We've always
got someone who shouldn't be
there. Who is there? Honestly,
how was going to happen? The
points total is. To get into
that survival stages. Well, I
think Slipedown was talking
about it on the desk or. Meta
far, but desk. It's just so
tight at the moment. The
competition here in this
tournament. Think back to
yesterday's game. Actually,
even the games we had today in
three teams tied in first place.
Yes, for goodness sake, that's how close it was.
This meta has allowed so many teams to catch up
and close that gap with some of the best.
One thing to highlight here is Legend Bands.
Newcastle is the next legend to be banned.
Now, Valkyrie is still here, has made it through to game six.
The legends that are banned, if you're joining us,
Crypto, Seer, Mad Maggie, Gibraltar and Newcastle.
Now, giving Newcastle, we know kind of the staple
we get to the later ends of these series for giving you that cover.
But now with the two most defensive legends out of the lobby,
there's going to be some guns up big moments.
Big team fights won by good aim.
And I'm excited to see which teams
can have the nerve to take them,
have the nerve to really push the advantages
when they present themselves.
Because if you're in an elimination spot right now,
the idea of taking a fight is not just taking a fight for the KP.
Now it's your tournament can be over if the fight does not go your way and realistically, there's only
One team who has to play some crazy aggressive comp and that is Trinity now
This is the layer of the land. This is the top 10
These 10 teams will be going to match point finals as it stands and realistically are pretty much guaranteed with 80 division
117 why couldn't really get one more point that's really bugging all the way well
maybe liquid can catch him up and surpass them. You know, if liquid had a 35 point game suddenly they're on 200 and they get first place in the
POI draft and they say you well the way they're playing at the moment
I wouldn't pass them to find a 40 bomb so there is still potential for it to change at the top
But then it starts to get interesting as we move over to the second page remember that cutoff is it 14 position?
That's absolutely ridiculous. Unlimit hold 14th place at 106. Virtus Pro are now
are going to be in the
survival stage and they're
going to be in the survival
stage. Now down in the
survival stage because they're
not playing. They won't be at
match point finals. But then
we look at four fun e sports.
The only team that's left on
that screen who is still
playing and chasing at 101.
They could push unlimited
down. Now these are all the
teams that are going to be in
the survival stage, and there
are a couple that is still
chasing for that top 14 as
well. Most likely we're going
This is the scary part, right?
74 points for them.
This page is...
Yeah. This is where it gets.
That's the cutoff. Like we say, Kurosami Havoc right now.
67 points.
66, 65, 60, 57, 43, 31.
We know that Dorian Trinity, unfortunately,
already eliminated from the tournament, but...
There's still a lot to be decided
in this final game of Apex Legends in the group stage.
We'll find out what happens in just a few moments' time.
We're gonna go for a quick break match number six the final match of the group stage comes up after this
Ladies and gentlemen, we are fast approaching the last game of the group stage, so let's
set the stakes, Lutie. I'm going to kick things off by saying four of the bottom six teams
who will be eliminated today are currently playing on stage. Only a handful of points
required to make it into the survival stage for some of those teams so this
match it literally is all on the line we have a few in the bubble which means
coming out of the survival stage into that top bracket getting into the finals on
Saturday but it's all to play for Lucy.
And yes, the team has just explained it to me.
Four teams can be eliminated, but they can also go back up.
And the French can do it. Do you believe it?
Ladies and gentlemen, as we throw into our final map of the day, one last time.
Make jump!
It's all on the line, let's do this!
Well here we go then everybody, the final game of the group stages.
We will confirm who's going through the match point finals and who is going home
Who will be back tomorrow for the survival stage and who is gonna have some hearts broken down?
This is it. Stormpoint is where we go for one more game and one more chance to save your tournament if you're sat in that bomb six
I'm sure there's so many teams and players that are nervous at the moment and also a lot of players who I'm sure are very
Excited for this game as well because they've already secured their spot and now a chance to show what they're made of and trying to prove their
position in said POI draft vision being one of them. This has been their best
series so far in this tournament. We knew they were capable of this and now
they're putting on a show. The zone is always our first talking point and we'll
get up to the north. This is an interesting one. They're going out towards
north pad by the looks of things. Maybe for a little trenches zone down. I know
you're a big fan of them. It's your personal favorite. I do love a trench
finish. I don't know why it's just a little bit down and dirty, isn't it? But
may be perfect for the likes of AG Global and Dino's,
as they can take some of those northern positions,
which are very difficult to take off of them once they find them.
And as a reminder,
our four teams that are currently in the bottom six
that are still fighting for their life,
if they die, they will be out.
Aurora, Pirates, Dog Red and Trinity.
Unless, of course, they put enough points on the board
before they go down.
And there's still a very good chance of doing so.
It is so close at the bottom.
But Trinity, their tournament is essentially over.
Only six points so far from these five games
and with Rohei on his back and Zipline Mafia chasing him down,
there might be a sour taste left in their mouth here.
Trinity would need a win and quite a big one as well.
And last it is not impossible, as Mark's alluding to,
with one player already down, it's not looking great,
but I think that again there is going to be an escape artist here.
get one away to get Rez back up onto your feet.
We'll guess who's coming to have a look at this.
The team who moved from Cito Station in the previous game towards Mill are back again.
It's Aurora who are looking to move up a third party, but they've actually taken a fair bit of damage here.
And Dog Red is still very, very healthy in this.
Now I'm wondering if Aurora is going to disengage. It looks like they have...
have actually just moved away ever so slightly.
That's four fun esports to be in there. That is big death.
It is big. It means they will not be progressing to match point finals.
They are guaranteed though to be in the survival stage tomorrow.
And they only needed five as another team will be guaranteed out of this tournament.
Trinity eliminated.
Nioh go down as well.
Nioh probably okay at 74 points, but it's going to be a very nervy finish in this match next for them.
As for Aurora, it is more points on the board.
They now find themselves one point behind the cutoff, one point confirmed as well with that kill.
Over towards a little bit further away from the zone.
Where are we going to find ourselves? Some pirates.
Another team who has really given it everything today Dan.
A scary moment for them coming into today with the position they found themselves in after a couple of lax days,
But you can't argue that they put it together when it matters. It just did they leave it too late
They're over a pile on here
They got SAUL above them Zeddy Esports also looking at this
I think Pirates recognized that they've got to leave it and that's where it becomes interesting as well
It's not as simple for Aurora of just finding that one point because if they found one point and died a team like Pirates
If they found seven suddenly both teams then would be on a tiebreaker
They have been fantastic in their series. I think you are quite right. You're going to be kicking yourselves later if you don't qualify, if you don't stay alive, saying could we have just done a little bit more on day one and two.
So difficult to predict how teams are going to play in this kind of a lobby as well, with
desperation becoming a factor.
Sit-Line Mafia are going to lose, excuse here, I thought maybe we'll find 1KP, as you look
at how 4-fun were eliminated a little bit earlier in this game.
Now, like you mentioned, it means they won't make match point finals, they were very close
to doing so, but they are still alive.
Now Nate has taken damage, Zadana.
He's broken as well, and Nate is down.
Zidane unable to connect with any of those longbow shots as well,
so it has to be turning into a retreat.
How do you hit a couple? Maybe you've got a knock.
You can potentially engage.
They do have Skyward Dive available,
so they have got their get out of jail free card, of course.
They need to start planning how they get Nate back on his feet
to try and find those points they so desperately need
to get into that survival stage.
Just looking at crafting opportunities for them.
Sito has one, the Mill has one as well, so there are places that they can plan their
rotation to to get Nate back into the game, but the fact that they're still in white armor
is somewhat of a concern.
Although the Seafoat Harvester might help them change that.
Over to Dog Red then.
Back to the Mill where Seasuke a lot of action is taking place.
Zip-Lime Matthew are waiting for them.
Still not impossible for Dog Red to get out of these elimination spots as well.
They are very much a focus.
especially if they can find some Kp on their route.
I also do want to touch on the fact that Aurora are playing
a more defensive lineup in their composition as well.
Catalyst comes into the fray.
They will be able to hit ring consoles.
They can assess that situation and play for Zone,
and I think that's kind of what they're doing
at the moment they're on the northwest side of the map.
A zipline mafia will have to move it.
The question is, do they engage with Dog Red,
who were down through this up?
I said they'll go ahead and towards CTO station, so both teams should be pretty safe.
Over to where the zone is, more likely going to be ending though, and you've got E36 and Zeta Division sharing
a couple of these eggshells.
So standoff between the two, and Yuka is not moving.
Yuka unfortunately losing that 1v1 in the previous game as well.
Well, it's not often you see it happen.
This is a lot of some rats.
Ambushing it, they're happening at the moment.
We've got some...
Would be onto DCG if they can catch them.
DCG, some cheese under this box.
Can we get it?
Come on.
Do they know? They're gonna know now. Kickstart trying to go in.
Worry about the unfortunate one who really does get hurt here. The rap play works perfectly.
And those shots with the native from Jelly are pretty good as well. This could be so detrimental
for GCG as well. They are only just outside of those elimination spots, may I add. They
They do get one on the board though, and the Nexus will be opened, and Escape Route has been found.
And Survival is a must here for DCG, even if they just put a couple of placement points on the board in this game.
They just want to stay out of reach of those that are chasing Lyca-Rora and Pirates.
AG Global just been eliminated in the meantime. Their job is done though, they were pretty secure in match point finals.
So the heavy lifting has been done, they'll be able to watch all of the teams
sweat it out on the survival stage tomorrow. Look at Jelly. Look at Jelly.
Jelly's chasing him down. Jelly's chasing him down!
And DCG will fall.
Oh no, we are in trouble.
We are in trouble. A lot of our elimination teams and those who are closer on the struggle bus
right now, Zipline Mafia, will take down two.
Zidane knows that their tournament lives are quite literally on his shoulders right now.
Thankfully he is valkyrie.
Or it's only blue.
He's going to go up nice and slowly.
He's spinning.
He's holding his breath.
And the zone is also chipping away.
Zidane with a hoax of France on his shoulders threads the needle.
But on the other side of this choke, it's 8-U-L on there.
Do they know?
I think so.
I think they saw the Valkyrie on coming in.
We'll check back in a little bit later as TIE now.
Having a fight with Dog Red, of course, another one of our teams
in those elimination spots.
It's a must win fight for Dog Red, and they've got the opener.
River Channel is down.
F-chan, he's going to follow him by the looks of things.
One bullet, that'll do it. Get that reload.
And yes, TIE are eliminated, and Dog Red get the points.
Are we going to see a late Dog Red resurgence here?
Was it Dan?
Just looking at the backpack here, trying to see if what meds he's got available.
He does have an O Excel.
But is he going to get to use it here?
He's getting chipped away out again.
It's Zipline Mafia once more who are
in behind him. If he can survive just on this low ground, SAUL actually might help him out of this situation, looking back at Zipline Mafia.
His heart must be in his mouth right now.
SAUL are going to hear the little tippy taps below them.
from the Valkyrie of Sudan, but you are completely right. Zip-Wend Mafia.
They will probably distract S-A-U-L from Sudan, who somehow, some way,
scarpers through and survives. There's no crafter though.
He's going to have to, like, counter-rotate essentially to get out of this game.
We'll take a look back on the rat play that we saw a few moments ago.
Sudan's being haunted once again, but it's going to be pretty comfortable with this situation now
because it's happened for the majority of the game. He's still alive here, Sudan.
Oh, that make it's gonna be big
You need to can spend a little bit more time in zone here
There's an evac there's a movie
There's a Phoenix get down there as well
85% on the next Valkyrie for him, which we'll get him back to zone
Which is terrifying you're a ten-head Pirates man
You're going deep for a crafter. Don't miss time to make it at this point. And the pirates
survive. That's where the zone is going to be heading. Dinos are pretty much bang sensor,
Liquid have also set up very successfully as well. The pirates now have found their crafter.
Literally last chance to loon now here for Zidane and the rest of the squad
There's got a mirage
It's an oasis
They get the banners they get the res and Zidane still by the way has a balcony so he can get them into zone now
Dogred continuing their reign of terror here. It's duplex. He gets caught off guard dog red on the chase
They are now three points away from the cutoff
as most dog red and pirates are hunting but they still cannot afford to go down
they are not quite there yet but now here is Zeddy and they've got the opening knock
there's a 2v2 now he's down to 1 HP he's gonna be down
last pair alive is inside of that building pink star drawing it's gonna be
chasing and jelly has a chance to catch jelly in a 1v1 killer points have to be
Be careful, jump back to the tack!
Zeddy Esports, get out of there!
Now you need to stay alive.
As Dograd are trying their best to stay in this tournament
but now Zipli Mafia here to try and ruin their day!
As Dograd will fall, just one point short of that cutoff.
As SAUL also go down, vision on top yet again here.
And that means Dog Red's tournament is done.
Another team guaranteed to be out, and another key that will be crushed.
GG versus ZipLineMapy, and it's looking all one-way traffic.
Kashuk is the last player alive.
Still three up for GG on the edge of zone here.
Where do they go from here, GG?
Trying to work their way through this choke down towards zone.
They actually...
Don't realize it, but the buildings are actually free for them to slide down,
and that's kind of synonymous and symptomatic of the fact
that the game has been played at such a fast pace.
Lots of fights on edge, lots of teams desperate for points.
Means there's space in zone, 11 squads remaining.
Setting up shop or setting up ship.
The Pirates are still alive.
Six points away from that cutoff.
Can they do the unthinkable here in Paris?
Oh, they take a damage here.
GDG above them.
GDG pushing, Flamie goes down.
No, he's going to be sweating.
Shubi is behind them, kind of needs to do damage to Dan.
And the pirates are down!
The ship will sink!
Zipline Mafia, JD Gaming will also go down off the back of it, but you know who this benefits.
Aurora, who have been quietly going about their business.
They have quietly snuck their way into a safe and surviving spot right now.
and it can only be taken away from them by Trinity,
who actually, with them being eliminated, it doesn't matter anymore.
Aurora at 69 points will be safe and surviving in this tournament.
Somehow, Aurora have pulled it out of the back in the last two games in our group stages.
They will continue in this tournament
And have a chance to make it tomorrow through to the match point finals. Boy, it's a bit shaky though. Anyway, back to the game.
Now it's about Platesman. Now it's about who makes match point finals. Now it's about PY draft positioning.
And finishing strong. Zayac Division on your screen right now. Bang Center and Yooka's got a craper, and I am down to watch it.
And realistically, the only team with outside chance of making match point finals here in this lobby is Dinos.
They would need a win, though.
And from their position, it is definitely achievable.
As GG, even though it's not been the best of series for them, it's still been a well-performing series.
They find themselves in fifth in the overalls, and again, they are chasing that top leading pack for a better P.O.I. position in their draft.
30 seconds left on this zone.
Dinos on the outside. Team vision just been eliminated. Last player alive was Lota.
He's going to be taken down. Aurora now looking to take this fight.
And all of a sudden it looks like the vibes are just starting to pick up.
Yaka is down. Team Liquid continuing to do what they've done so well so far in this tournament,
which is win fights, which is play close and Sykes will close out another clean Team Liquid fight.
They are almost in never to port this point as Aurora go down, PXX also out.
Aurora I'm sure will be checking those points to see that they are safe.
They played the intelligent game, they played it smart, they allowed all the teams below them to get eliminated first.
As now E36, they've done enough as well to be in this survival stage.
But can they ruin the day for anyone else?
Dinos remember our next key focus here in this final circle.
So it's looking like the odds are not good.
For poor old dinos here.
And then suddenly our attention turns to actually who's going to win this series in particular.
Team Liquid 8 points shy of vision.
Just to take some confidence into the match point finals because they're already there.
They're already secure to be playing on Saturday.
headmark. You get a nice rest tomorrow where you can watch the survival stage go down.
And I think for a team like Team Liquid and an IGL like zero,
you want to see them getting that confidence by finding even more wins. Well, GG again,
push right now. You come with the Crabar. He was away in the head of Swipes.
Zero says they need to get back through this Nexus now, but you guys are playing pressure.
Two shots, two connections. Singlet could now know that Yuka has the cragler.
And Zeta Division really have been so impressive since day one here.
They came in as that number one seed from APAC North, and they have not disappointed him.
That's a freebie.
Look, Lufka comes out of the death box and back into the grave immediately.
Although with the attention elsewhere, it's allowed a couple of teams to start to move a little bit closer.
of those being gaming gladiators or at least what remains of gaming gladiators anyway.
Dino still alive by the way, even if it's a solo.
No!
E36.
Dino's will be eliminated.
E36 taking a lot of damage as well.
The gem's gonna eat that nade up as you can try to take that out of play.
GG are eliminated three squads now remain Sykes is still down
And with G squad remaining
This is gonna be the Yuka show by the looks things panic is zero try to pull behind them
But Mike is there watching his teammates back
Back to back was the story for Zeta and a win to close out the group stage is their conclusion
There'll be the final winners here in match number six as the group stage comes to a close
And not just winning the game but winning the series here in A versus D and pushing themselves
that one step further in that POI draft in the overalls.
What a set of games we just witnessed.
And whilst we have, of course, the incredible elation on one side, it's the disappointing
An unfortunate sadness of being eliminated on the other.
A valiant effort from Pirates.
And of course, the French fans disappointed and upset
as they watched the team they came here to see fall
at the first stage.
But boy, did they make it close on set.
I asked you a question in game number five.
Have Aurora left it too late?
We now have our answer.
In the two games, they had to find something.
Where they had to reset in that game five.
They get enough points to survive here.
Aurora will be joining us tomorrow in the survival stage.
The big dogs are still barking.
It is worth noting as well, with Aurora bumping up into survival stage,
they did sadly bump a team down.
Kurosami Havok also eliminated from the competition.
And we'll give you all of the confirmed teams that have been eliminated.
qualified for match point finals and of course into the survival stage shortly.
But what a final game it was and it was for some teams just about survival,
I'd say it was about steering away from fights and there were some very
brave engagements that were taken by other squads as well.
But sadly when you get into that match six and you need a six or seven pointer,
there's always going to be that one big team that is on a heater and is there to take you down.
that. A lot of fast paced action
in that final game. And the fact
that we just finished the group
stage down and it almost feels
like a final state with the amount
of energy that was in the room,
but also the amount of pressure
that was on the team shoulders.
The fact that we have this
elimination in the in the format
is something that I personally
know you do absolutely love. It
just gives us that jeopardy.
And although it means some people
will go home disappointed.
It gives us so much to pay
in that match point finals.
That was a fun day of action,
and they will have a top six
seed going into that survival
stage as well. And remember
six teams qualify from said
survival stage, so. Job one has
done it. At least you're in the
top six in the P. I draft, but
can you carry that through into
actually gaining the points to
send you to the final stage
into actually gaining the points to send you to Saturday into match point finals.
And it's crazy really to look at the tiebreaker in the end that separated unlimited and Virtus.pro for a spot in match point finals.
Well, that's going to do it all from us on the commentary desk. It's been a very, very fun day of action, but I'm going to be honest with you, Dan.
I'm not quite sure where we're going, but I'm going to send it there anyway. So whoever's on the end of this, catch.
Well, well, well, I'm pretty sure everyone was holding their breath throughout that entire game 6.
It was pretty spicy. I've got Sina joining me here from M2436.
Sina, I've got to say, you guys were towing the elimination line more or less all day today.
I just want to get from your point of view how stressful today was for you and your team.
But you had to keep running for the survival.
So, how was the experience you had to keep fighting for survival?
I think I was able to relieve a lot of stress.
But I couldn't go to the Boats Camp, so I didn't do scrims for a week.
So I just accepted it.
I think I did scrims for 3 days.
I think I've only lost once in the finals.
I think I'll have to go up tomorrow.
Yeah, it will be a lie if I was not stressful at all.
But that being said, we didn't have any like,
prepared scrims in advance.
So I just, I was just going to think that like, well,
it was just going to have like another three day of scrims.
Well, yeah, we were going to just think we had just three,
another three day of scrims, and we're going to just keep it going.
And we never actually, we only had once that we never made to match
match point final so yeah we're definitely going to make it through.
I like it, I like the confidence and to be honest with you, you guys have the experience
on your back as well. You've teamed up with Juzna, you placed third in champs then Obley
joined the team, he's got LAN experience, he's a previous LAN winner as well so I'm curious
to know what kind of issues were you coming into over the past few days, typically you
score let's face it higher on the leaderboard so was it just teething issues of merging
like a new player into your team since champs?
In fact, you won 3rd place with Dusunha during the championship.
And you also won with the winner of the tournament, Oblin.
And you joined the tournament with Oblin.
Did you have any problems with your team-mates?
Did you have any problems with your team-mates?
Do you think it was difficult for you today?
I don't think Junghyun was a good player.
I don't think he was in the right team-mates.
I think he lost his mind.
perform really well.
You're heading into the survival stage tomorrow, probably something you're not too familiar
with as you're typically getting into the match point final straight away.
But having said that, what needs to change so that you can make it out?
Because let's face it, only six teams are going to make it out alive from the survival
stage.
I'm sure you're not used to going to the survival stage, but it's getting harder and harder for you to get into the 6 teams.
I think I can get into the 6 teams if I'm good enough.
I think I can do better.
Well, I think it depends on my performance, so I'll just do my do better. Yeah, that's all.
We'll just have to wait and see. Sit down. Thank you for joining me in this interview.
Some great insight, and we look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow in the survival stage.
Can they survive? Only six will make it out. But for now, don't go anywhere because we've
got rain day with naughty on the other side of the stage.
That's right. Thank you, Barney and sign up over there. It was a great interview.
And now I'm hoping to what up here because we got JD gaming is not a Paris in Paris man
You got to give me something special and I got to say going back to a moment
I want to know your thoughts on internally walking on to the stage today knowing where you guys sat in the standings knowing you
Had to perform what was going through your mind? I'm gonna be completely honest
I was not worried at all like at all just because today we actually were double rotate
which is what you know as our standard JDG and a pro league, you know kind of vibe and
And I'm just a lot more confident with rotating, you know, and like how to, what plays to call, when to do it, who's where, you know what I mean?
Just like a more flowy, smooth state, and I knew we were going to drop a great, like, or have a great day.
I thought it would have been better. You know, we had a couple of zeros, believe it or not, and we still, I don't know how many points we had.
You know, we had two zeros. It was just pretty crazy.
That's an amazing showcase. That last play too, there was a team of pirates who was actually not able to make it into the next stage because you guys pushed them.
Was there any particular thought on that final player you just trying to buy for the best position?
I don't think it was the best play, but we just wanted to have a big game because we saw our like total points
And we wanted to like get X amount of points to actually get that top 14 mark
You know take those big risks because those big risks could like you know turn into a massive game
Which could like that last game come back kind of vibe
So yeah, we weren't successful with the play and it was definitely pretty in C
But it happens apex it's apex it happens and that's the beauty of our e-sport
The beauty though of your journey man is you've kind of leaned into this IGL role. It's been this first real split
Commanding the troops and also you've had moments of feeling doubt
But also moments like now where you get to say who we did it
What is it going through your head now of the new aspect of kind of leaning into that?
Responsibility for your team and what you know you need to do heading into these next few days
You know I take a lot of my qualities as an IGL from a lot of like current great IGLs
You know just from my experience and I just I know that as an IGL you are not a lot of be nervous when you're on the back
Foot at all you have to call your heart out you have to make sure your teammates are you know confident
You know you have to have the vibes up tones up
You know you got to keep it like even better than before almost you know if it wasn't going well
Which obviously wasn't for us
So yeah, I just wanted to be sure I was there for my team today and I think we all three were there for each other
So I mean we've seen you and Shuvi but talk to me a little bit about floating
He is a guy that has come in and kind of taken the world by stormed the LGS open was the first time we saw this guy
Then we've seen him in pro league. He's done it again now. We've seen him at land
He's been able to do it talk about this job talent Irish team. He is one of the best players in the game right now
He's brand new like I said someone before
I think he is like the highest starting point out of any player that has like started competing in pro league
You know just off the bat
So he has a ceiling that is not even close to being reached yet not even close so a lot of high hopes for him
He's a great fucking kid, you know, and I think we're gonna have a big comeback come back land. You know, so finishing off in Paris, obviously
Orleans has a little bit of a French vibe. That's where Vegas is gonna be your family's not here now
But you said you were gonna try to get him to Vegas. Is that so the plan? Yeah, it is
I actually talked with my mom yesterday because she was giving me a little hype up going into today and
Yeah, I said, you know Vegas a few months away. Maybe even a couple. I don't even know something like that
So yeah, she might show up. It'd be nice. I love it man. Well, it's great to talk to you
Congratulations on making it. I know that was a big run for you guys. And of course JD gaming going to be representing in tomorrow's bracket
Surviving hopefully making it to match point finals. That's not it. Let's send it back over to the studio
All the questions we have for JD gaming for Alliance at the beginning of the day
NIP and at the end here Aurora also answered the calls night
Yeah, I think honestly, I'm happy to see that all these teams, you know, E36 is well in here.
All these teams that we have hiked up in the past, this is the biggest tournament of the year.
We have a new champion to be crowned and we all want the best competition to make it to the grand finals.
So to see all these teams that were really low today, step it up when it matters most,
is awesome to see because I think they deserve to be there.
They earned that position with where they're at.
We heard Naughty talk about it, the confidence, you have to come in as an IGL,
and it's really impressive to see all these teams that were at the bottom
do have this significant push.
No absolute hero stories, none of them made it to that top 14,
but there were some very, very good games that I'm sure is going to motivate these guys to upload.
I mean, we saw it from all the teams, like I said.
Anthra 436, Zeta, Aurora, I mean, they made it, but it was very scary for sure.
But once again, these teams prove themselves why they're actually capable of making it this deep.
It's because they have that experience to bounce back when things have gone against their world.
But I would definitely say though for JDG for sure, they have played phenomenally and they've always had it in them.
The only question I had was like, he said, oh dude, this is exactly what we played in Pro League.
Double wrote it, this is how we do it.
I'm like, so why didn't we do it from the start?
Yeah, I mean, looking at this leaderboard is maybe a bit emotional, guys.
Yes.
There was just been some, you know, these teams coming out, you know, some we haven't really touched on, you know, for fun.
eSports, for example, I mean, you know, we're sort of having I was having my jokes about booty with pirates and stuff
But look at them now JD gaming of course and getting to see you know, Naughty and just that smile on the face and
Talking so well about floating because we do know that, you know, generally floating is just an insane player
So even just the emotion behind this sort of I guess swap around in the story lines is just
Absolutely incredible. I mean
That's kind of the thing though, as much as we are building up all of the stories, some of the stories also get sent back home.
And I'm looking to see to make sure exactly who it is we're pinpointing that is in that bottom six for the moment later on.
It's definitely heartbreak for those people, because you have been working hard entirely to make it here,
and then only to fall short for whatever shortcomings you might have had.
But we've seen glimpse of lights of most of the teams.
I would say majority of the team has definitely made a comeback to where they have been.
OK, we're throwing everything against what even heard from Naughty himself.
He's like, hey, we needed a big game.
And that's the desperation creeping in, really.
He's like, go big or go home.
It didn't end up working to that extent that he wanted to push himself all the way to 14.
It might be a little bit hard, but but but still, the fact that you're taking that chance
is the only like if you never take the chance, it will never happen.
At least you got to throw a haymaker every now and then and something will hit.
Aim for the stars, you know.
But what do you say?
Aim for the hit for something?
Like, you aim really far and you know,
it goes a little bit further than aiming short.
Tomorrow is gonna be aim for those top six.
But let's see, overall is currently looking like,
who's gonna be going directly to the match point finals?
I mean, as you can see right there,
I mean, this is kind of expected.
Set a division actually, did so well.
And they also got the win that you promised me, Graceful.
I promised to win, and you know how I noticed.
I was playing solo queue rank before we flew out here,
and I played with Satuki actually,
and he was popping up, I even screamed it,
so yes, yena.
And then he was popping up, and I said it to him as well,
I don't really speak Japanese, but I said it to him as well.
Satuki Tsuyo-Sugi, he's way too strong,
because he was just one,
we three, absolutely everybody,
and I'm happy to manage to find his form,
and they all find it for me,
So Yuka's Kramer shots as well. It was amazing and I hope they can keep this up. I just love it
seeing this leaderboard too. Okay, I'm gonna talk about the SAUL, half an odd about it, but like
I had, you know, I get all worried. This is my time to shine, Grace. I've been half an odd about
this team. And you know, we moved from like pro league and talking about their consistency and
how well they plays and the percentages, but they keep doing it even in that last couple of matches.
You know, obviously we were keeping an eye on those teams that would be falling in that bottom bracket, but SA, UL, I can't believe that they're in that top three.
Like, this is a proud moment for obviously the team and a lot of the APAC South because we have been waiting for this moment for them to show that they can be in that top,
I was even going to say top 10, but that top three, baby. Like, that is an exceptional feat. Even like Team Liquid too, they were looking a bit rough at the start, but then to finalize with that 182 points.
Like, God, freaking damn.
Honestly, the consistency of a lot of this teams and there you go
Limit does end up making it to the match point finals to Virtus. Pro. They ended up in a tie
I don't remember what the tiebreaker is but for Virtus. Pro
They're gonna now have to worry about survival stage tomorrow Wolves e-sports team RQ
I mean we saw an IP being able to do their thing earlier today, too
But for team RQ you have had so many doubts
What can they do different coming into tomorrow because tomorrow is gonna be those top six
That's the only thing that's going to matter.
Yeah, I mean, what can they do different?
Pretty much everything from what they did today.
And just maybe go back and watch that day one
and feel in positive reassurance of what we did right.
Quit focusing so much on what we did wrong.
Go back and focus on what we did right.
That's one of my favorite things to do
because it puts a lot of the pressure off of,
hey, you did this wrong, you did this wrong,
you did this wrong.
So players don't overthink, you go back and say,
and build the habits of this work for us.
Let's try and replicate it.
And I think one of the bigger storylines
going into tomorrow is how many dominant teams are
in this elimination bracket with only six able to make
that grand finals lobby.
And then you look at the storylines
like the Falcons, for example, that we're
used to seeing top these group stages.
It's them and the alliances that top the group stages.
Falcons is not in the elimination.
I want to make that clear.
But for example, they're struggling.
I mean, genuinely, for a team of that caliber,
they are struggling.
So it would be interesting to see if they can clutch it out.
And it's just been fun to follow along because Zeta was
in seventh place.
We brought them up, but they might have the most wins.
or up there with a lead for the most wins of teams at this tournament.
That's what it comes down to for winning the grand final.
So, so many different storylines happening all around us at the same time.
And I think tomorrow is going to be nothing short of spectacular.
I guarantee you will probably have maybe more tiebreak or heartbreaks
or photo finishes going into it as well.
I mean, I was talking to Ken with the interview as well.
I'm very, very sad for him because we talked about it.
Where do you think the cutoff is going to be?
He said we're on 67.
The cutoff is 67.
And that's absolutely heartbreaking.
Like they, you know, and, and this is really like, yes, he said as well, we have, you know,
we're really slow stars, we're paid really average, literally, I think his word for this
tournament, if you could just sum it up in one word would be average.
And that's where the cutoff ended up being.
And that's the most heartbreaking part because it's no longer in your hands.
He was sitting there feeling a little bit comfortable.
Like, is it like, oh, maybe it's 60 to 65, sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down.
Okay, we'll see.
And then as you're seeing that as team after team gets eliminated in each match, he may be thought, okay, Aurora is going to go out.
They somehow climb up above them, push them down and they just go right out there.
It's tough as a competitor to see because, you know, I've been there as well.
I didn't crawl through a land when I think it played in London by one point at some point.
So it's a rough map.
And a heartbreak too for Tilly and Pirates.
I mean, the best day, Lace.
How did it go?
Had to be on the last day.
by the first two days, it just wasn't good enough.
Yeah, like we were saying, you know,
you can only have kind of one bad day
and I guess, you know, two bad days and one good day,
just the math ain't mathin', but yeah,
I thought that score would have been a little bit different.
I mean, not being right on the bottom there,
but yeah, I had a little bit more hope,
but yeah, like we said, that cut off was 67,
but yeah, they played their hearts out.
I'm super incredibly proud of that.
I guess I also wanted to sort of touch on like those teams
that we had from the previous lobbies as well,
like Gen G, I still can't believe that they just made it
in the up performance that they had in from that sense.
So, you know, it was, it was tooth and nail
for pretty much everything there, but yeah.
I'm upset about pirates.
Yeah, I think they're crumbling.
I'm back now for Booty Jokes.
Ha ha ha ha.
Why am I even here?
We'll have to wait until next year.
But I think for some of the other teams
that we're able to show up was Enter Force.
I mean, that squad performed when they needed to perform.
I mean, this is also a team that has performed
in the past, has held the trophy even for a point for one of the playoffs, and you know,
they're more than capable of making it happen, and it just really, really goes to show that
all of these teams that have had some form of past success and has mature players, even
Naughty, and we heard it from other people in the infuse as well, you just need that
one mature person to help guide the way forward, and that's all they needed.
They managed to pull through, and I think this is also why the case is, you heard it
in the interview where he said, yeah, you know, once we make your past here, we're
going to go finals. And that's just really the confidence, but also experience behind
you that showcases like, we can make it as long as we get through this one little tough
spot.
Yeah, I mean, honestly, I think I just want to take a second to appreciate the change in
the format because I love having more at stake when it comes to these group stages.
I really enjoyed the elimination side where, you know, the teams that really underperform
Don't just get the free ride into the losers bracket where they could just have griefed every team is obviously
Oh, we're out whatever doesn't matter where it's gonna be go to the loose bracket anyway and get top 10
And I really think that the teams that do the best deserve to be rewarded
Yes, to make it into the grand finals because of how consistent they were and consistency is key
Especially for battle royales in apex legend boy, do we see that too now?
Only six teams making it to the grand finals out of this next elimination lobby is is something that you know
Don't see 10 games as well, which is gonna be even more epic to track that along because we've seen it
I mean we watch teams up 33 points in one game
So it all comes down to that 10th game you never know who could leapfrog who we watched Aurora
You know struggle and then have one really good game
They got the third it jumped them up when everyone was kind of starting to count them out and I just I love
The extra added stakes at this big event at EWC. I mean yeah huge out of TV's
EWC for hosting this has been phenomenal. The fact that the stakes throughout the whole thing makes everything
you know, butt-clenching and I love it. It's just so much more fun with the stakes on the thingy,
stakes on the line and the coolest part about 10 maps that we normally don't have by the way, like in the rest of the year,
is that you're actually, I looked at the map real quick, and I think it's actually
two...
It was like two, no, it was three, two, two, three is what it was for the maps.
So some some teams might even find some momentum only for it to instantly swap if you find momentum only the second part
Well, now you're struggling immediately on the next back like it ups this takes in so many ways
Never mind if I could be banning up more legends and seeing how far we go on that route
Now we get to see people really pull out the crazy car. We're gonna see rev tank come out again
Yes, are we seeing the wrong?
Like this is the things that we don't normally see because after six games
it's over you don't really need to deep in your legend pool now that you bring this to 10 games
the pressure gets added on you need to think about what comp you're actually playing and it's just
so much fun yo i just i just forgot it legend bands over 10 games this can't be crazy this is
bring out the octane don't do it please um but yeah no that's a great thing to touch on because
like you know usually we have that that six split series match but guys at home it's 10 games in a
row and so we're gonna see the most craziest comps ever like we're gonna
must have some okay what's that okay one of the lowest picked characters
right that's probably like octane lifeline hello octane do you think any of
it I feel like you know people are pulling out part of it man just give me
some what I want it back yeah well I think if you know crypto goes out first
see it goes out first it's pretty much all the controller characters and then
it'll just end up rotating back once all those are eliminated. So we'll probably end up seeing that.
So once crypto's out, we'll probably end up getting crypto back in the rotation just to get banned again at some point.
That usually ends up happening sometimes.
Well, the beauty is that that is going to be happening tomorrow at ALGS at EWC 26.
We're done with the group stages. Now it's on to the survival stage.
And if you thought today the pressure was on, tomorrow the pressure is going to be even more intense
as these teams want to make it in the top six to make it to match point finals.
Make sure you tune in tomorrow.
We'll be all right here and we can't wait to see which other teams step up and make it to the finals.
