Welcome to the ALGS Split 1 Playoffs Live at the Esports World Cup.
My name is Barney Banks. I've got Rain Day here with me.
We're here to chat a little bit about the overarching environment
and experience for the fans the players who are all arriving here as you know
This place is starting to fill up now, isn't it?
It certainly is and apex is always a stadium that gets filled whether we're in Sapporo whether we're here in Paris
They are fans that love to travel and that's one of my favorite things 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 land 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 land wasn't it this one?
He saw the first two days Barney and he said okay
Is anyone selling final tickets because this is too good to not watch live?
It's one of the best things about the eSports World Cup right the accessibility the fact that now we're also in Paris
So it gives it gives it like it opens up to a lot more audience members that can come down and check it out
One of my personal favorites. I chatted to some of the dads. We've got Papa Jen here
We got a hack is it papa unlucky. We got all the dads out weird dads
So we like to get in the 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 lines 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're 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 e-sports environment at a land a lot of the time we talk about experience being the biggest struggle because you step
Out onto the stage the lights at your face. You've got all the pro players around you. It's intimidating
They're having interviews for the first time. Oh, I'm struggling with that some are struggling and I gotta say it's something that I
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 give them some time.
At the end of the day, it's entertainment.
Come on, man.
There isn't it.
Right.
We've got more ALGS split-worn playoffs coming up, but for now, that's me and Rain Day out
here at eSports World Cup, live from Paris.
Okay, I'm gonna try this now. Here's the deal this is hard so do not make fun of me if I can't get more than two
I've tried this before it's not as easy as it looks okay. I'm saying the jacket's coming off for this
Okay, my man, would you mind? Thank you so you could you could you could hold on to that?
Oh
Five four three two one. Let's go
Oh
Okay good
I got three, okay, give me another chance.
Okay, thank you, thank you.
Just take it, just take it, just take it.
You want to record it, right?
Okay.
Hello, it's Gil.
I think normally I'd start, probably rip the pillow off.
Let's start with chair.
I usually sit at the edge of the chair like this, so the armrests don't get in the way.
So let's get a little bit closer here.
Honestly?
I hate the armrests, so I'd normally rip them off, but I can't, so that's okay.
This is good.
I'm going to move the monitor a bit.
Definitely way closer than this.
Let's move this a little bit up.
Move more up like this.
My monitor is pretty close.
It's like, probably like, I don't know, about there.
Kind of the desk a little higher too.
Maybe like, probably like there.
This is pretty good.
In game, I would go native, like close screen.
Everything, I'm gonna go max FOV.
And then like the only settings I've changed in game
are the fan 2D for damage feedback.
I've got both my head markers off.
Disable FLV, scaling, maybe turn this off after you're channelling.
I'd play on 0, 220, 0 for my replica color.
All this, like, on empty off.
Kicking damage on deathbox, closes off, always sprint.
I'll put it on.
Yeah, everything low for graphics.
4.3 linear for controller.
No dead zone.
Chain healing is off.
Always sprinting is also off.
Mantleboost, you know, I'm minimal. I plan to 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 Dutronopia one
Pretty standard default like setting the most part honestly monitor very close to his face. And yeah, that's good
Wow the best man ever
New castle snap
hmmm...repeat?
finisher?
like when you're trying to press someone?
finish? no?
why is it stabbing?
stabbing and pulling?
who put that?
what?
is it like something that you do every game?
sniping?
popping a bat?
Uh-uh.
And you pull it out.
It's like this farming material or something.
And?
Pulling.
Taking Nexus.
Reloading?
Yeah, taking Nexus was a good child.
Is it something with like ultimate, maybe?
No?
Nothing.
Um...
Looting Devbook?
Reviving.
Axel Q. Motor GP.
Driving a motorcycle.
Eating whilst driving.
Driving to a restaurant on motorcycles.
Delivering on motorcycles. On scooters.
Pizza delivery.
Baguette.
Baguette, eating baguette and motorcycle.
E-murting.
Breaking window. Breaking...
Conjuring door.
Conjuring door? Yeah.
Why did you do a suriculde?
Like that's a door.
Yeah, wow. The best one ever.
That's the door.
Wow man look at you see that
play. Hey, what? Papa Jin. Papa Jin, what's up man? I'm here for this. Come on, don't disturb
me man. I thought we were friends man. I thought we hugged. Come on. I love you. I love you.
I like your left out man. I like the left out. This is what Apex is. My heart can't take it,
you know? But I'm here. I'm here in 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.
Yesterday, like, I was sweating, you know?
Yeah, it's not been comfortable here.
Listen, I know you're a dad.
You're watching Jen 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,
mom with Jen Burton'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
where 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
generally disappointed, but this is the game. This is what it's all about. Maybe all the
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, your players, 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'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 struggling with the reality
of some situations, like, for instance,
what Jen is struggling with now,
like being here and then, you know,
watching from the sidelines, you know,
how do you, what kind of advice would you give us
if we, you know, encounter those issues as we get older?
you do that boys, 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 in. Because when you're
disappointed you know you go crazy you know what I mean? And I have to be here for him
then he loses, mostly.
Of course, when we win, it's completely different.
We have experienced that three times.
I know they're saying that Jen only won two.
Actually, he won three.
The first one in Sweden,
it's people don't count, which is wrong.
Now he's got medals, trophies, and all that.
And so I was there,
I hope you still have two more lines to go.
Yep.
They're going to make it and you'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 jealous, I don't know.
You might have more fans than him at the end of the day.
I do.
Does Papa Jim Burton have more fans than Jim?
Let us know, I think it might be him.
Hey, one thing we do love is that you're always showing support in the part of our family at the LGS Papa. Jen
We appreciate you being here. We will see you in Vegas, right? This is my number 14 15 Las Vegas
Love it. See you there, baby. All right. Thanks Papa Jen and shout out Mama Jen. It was hiding, but you know, we love her too
We love her too
Hello guys, this is MIP.
I'm here with Krev and Cole.
My name is Zane and we're gonna be playing this game here.
And whoever sinks the nail first wins.
We're gonna be asking questions about Paris in France.
Just some trivia.
So yeah, let's just start.
What river flows to Paris?
Now?
You said the Nile?
Yeah.
No.
What the fuck?
I thought you said Nile, like today.
Like, yes, it's here today.
No.
I have no idea.
Okay.
How many districts does Paris have?
13.
7. Now which museum houses the Mona Lisa? No. Yeah. Yeah, you got it. No, it's okay.
Probably fine. Nice as shit.
Holy shit, man. The French flag is composed of three colors.
Uh, white, blue, and red. Yep. Yes, sir.
Dang.
Okay.
That's a good one, that's a good one.
All right, what's the currency of France?
You're up.
Nice.
Nice.
All right, what is the famous French pastry
shaped like a crescent?
Crescent.
Crescent?
Bro, like, please take a son.
No?
Crescent.
Bro, that is so, oh my god, man.
Whatever, bro.
What French dish is made of snails?
Cook.
What are you talking about?
What do you got here?
I remember talking about that on the road.
Yeah, nothing in my head.
Nothing?
Yeah.
Those are like a good one.
Okay.
What is the highest mountain in France?
I have no idea.
Do you have a straw hat in your mouth?
Okay.
That was a high one for us.
What's it?
No!
You're lost.
You're lost.
I think I've won that, no?
Yeah, you win, mate.
We know nothing about France.
Alright guys, and that's it.
I mean, we really got almost all the questions correct.
It was good showing by us.
Yeah, we're happy to be here.
Day four its survival stage here at the ALJS split one playoffs at EWC 2026
Yesterday we sent home six teams completely eliminated from the competition
But 14 teams did make their way through to match point finals place. It's exciting. I mean it was an absolutely beautiful day yesterday
But you know what I think today's got to be a little bit more crazy Lauren and I'm gonna tell you exactly why
20 of our teams will battle it out in 10 games
We're gonna send six through to win that two million dollar prize pool, but unfortunately 14 teams may be saying until next time
What happens when you put two chronically inside people outside where you get a group stage recap yesterday here at the split one playoff
So we did conclude the group stages Dan
Let's start off talking about B and C and I do believe even though you live in America now
You seem to have forgotten about the power of the mirror and you owe a certain team an apology Alliance making it through to match point finals
I still think they would have been better with the fact, but I am pleasantly surprised and
I'm happy to read my words because I like it. One of our favourites, fan favourites,
they look very good. And the fact they got through to match point finals, excellent.
Yeah, very impressive stuff from them. One team who's denied winning every single
group that they were involved with. Elite Esports, fantastic consistency from them,
but Ninjas in pajamas, number one American seed coming into the tournament, saved themselves.
a game six win was so important for them to stay alive in the tournament and we knew it would happen
It was just about when it would happen for ninjas and pyjamas. Sadly, they do have to still play
through that survivor stage. Are they going to dominate today? Will they struggle? There's
only one way to find out. Well, another team who struggled a little bit yesterday, but again,
kept their tournament alive is the number one apex south team coming into the tournament. And
that was waltz esports. waltz esports who had some questionable fights to put it lightly,
but they were looking good when they did get into those 3v3 engagements. Now as we move over
to the other matches we had in A and D, we started off with Zipline Mafia for fun, JDG, they all had
very tough starts, but they were able to breeze through in the end to those survivor stages.
Yeah, one of the standout moments for me was the win for JDG, and you saw Naughty, what that meant
to him. First event on land where he's IGL-ing, getting that first win under the board, so important
for them, and I think their confidence just grew from there. Another one of my favorites from yesterday
was Team Vision. They were able to actually dominate match five, not only pushing themselves
the match point. Yeah, a huge
clutch coming in. One of those
games as well from Carter. You've
seen one from low to now. You
see one from Carter. Zach seems
to feel comfortable in the idea
while visions looking good,
visions looking good, and then
a team that was quiet,
confident, but went about their
business is a division. Now they
are a team who were dominating
throughout their region, and
they came into this one
dominated the day yesterday,
got a match six win and actually
took the series and a little bit
of a play style adjustment we
saw from day one, a little bit
edge orientated on day one, but
they seem to get a little bit
And then we sadly had to say goodbye to six teams yesterday.
We had sadly Mark's favourite, Dory, they went first.
And then we had TLM Pirates, Kurosame, Havok, Heretics, Dogred and Trinity.
All six of those teams' keys will be crushed today.
And now we get serious. Today is the survivor stage where we will be sending a lot of teams home.
Only six more teams can qualify for the match point finals lobbies down,
which means unfortunately 14 have to say goodbye.
Well, of course, be keeping you up with all the action.
The game's getting underway very soon,
and we'll see you there.
Day four here at the ALGS at Gidea City Grid,
and things are really starting to heat up.
It is the survival stage here for Apex Legends,
and it's time for another club championship update.
What does this mean for our club championship teams?
Well, this is what we've got going on.
Survival stage is the last opportunity for our squads
to stay alive in the competition.
Six teams were already set home yesterday,
while 14 teams made their way through
to the match point finals.
For our last 20 teams here today,
there's only six remaining spots
in those match point finals,
and that means we have the likes of Aurora Gaming,
Gen G and VP battling it out for an opportunity
to get those club championship points,
which are only available in the match point finals.
On the flip side of things,
we have some juggernauts like Team Falcons,
Team Liquid and Elite Esports finding their way through already secure in our match point
finals, which means they are one step closer to being able to not only be CC eligible,
but to acquire those club championship points.
It is a very important day for all of our teams in the survival stage.
They're going to have to be fighting tooth and nail to secure their spots.
I can't wait to see how it plays out.
$75 million, $25 trillion, over 200 clubs, only one club champion.
The club championship is the beating heart of the Esports Club.
Over seven weeks, Esports clubs send their players to compete.
Every placement, every win, every podium earns points for their clubs.
At the end of seven weeks, every win counts.
The club at the top walks away with 7 million dollars in the title of Best Esports Club.
It's not about being the best in one game, it's about being the best across all.
Death, versatility, consistency and depression.
One championship trophy, one title.
Who will take it?
Watch history unfold in Paris at the eSports World Cup 2026.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have had some shocking surprises here at ALGS at EWC 26.
And I can't wait to see what's going to be happening today with the survival stage.
My name is Tsevon Dozi, I'm here at Eskos and I'm joined by some amazing people, none
other than Snifedown, Graceful and Lace, Lace, Survival, only the top 6 get to move on.
I know, I'm incredibly excited for the chaos and the competition that's about to have
today because yeah, like you said, only 6 go through and then if my calculations are
correct, that means we get rid of 14, 7.
Yeah, we do get rid of 14, but what you can do at home is head over to the ALGS website
Insigning for the chance to win some coins so you can be ready for the new event all you need is an ea email
You have all week long and enter and Saturday night after the game
So you still have some time and we're gonna be given five different viewers this week in a chance for 11
thousand and five hundred coins each which boy I mean with those
I mean I'm on a coin so you get some pretty cool skin snipe. Yeah, I mean give me an heirloom
I only got two or two or three in my inventory. I'm a little I'm locking in that sense
So, you know, maybe some lucky winner can have some more luck than I did
If you do end up getting them make sure you use the hashtag EWC and hashtag EWC 26
So let us know that you actually ended up winning so we can maybe in the future end up giving a shout out
But if you missed out the first three days of action
Let's do a recap of some of the best scraper shots that we have seen so far because we have gotten some good ones race
I mean really and the most common thing as well is that it's always the same players that everybody hearts year round
You know we've seen duke a fscravers. We've seen seer was carried between light right there as well
There's so many people that are so talented across the board
But it keeps the same people keep coming up over and over. I think we're missing some sweet dreams
I'll create reaction now some of the best camera action we used to have so throw back to some OG's right there
Well I love heart and aftin' Kraber shots, but I also love saying that I saw some choking
Kraber shots as well, and I'm like, yo, okay, I didn't miss, but we always love seeing this.
I don't know, I don't understand why this shot with the Kraber just gets everyone so
hot, you know, it's a round of being like such a powerful gun, but I don't know, I've sat
inside me every time we see a Kraber shot, and I'm like, yes, look, they're push the
team.
Yeah, I mean, as my name is Snipe down, there is something about a Sniper with the one-shot
kill that is just so satisfying.
really is and I can't wait to see who is going to be putting up some good
performances out there as the beginning of the show. I mean we heard team vision
was definitely one of those teams that put up a great performance. Alliance put
up such a good performance that they ended up going directly to the match point
finals and today as I mentioned earlier it is going to be the top six teams so
you have to make sure you are very consistent Graceful. I mean honestly we
We like to talk about slow and fast starter teams.
I would say right now it's the most,
like in favor of slow starters, there's ever been.
There's 10 games, there's several,
you're playing every map, you can't not rely on just,
oh, we didn't have our favorite map or best map,
you're playing every map at this point,
and you have 10 games.
So I think that they're more than capable
of pulling this back now.
All the teams that started slow yesterday,
has the great and tenacity to make it further on today.
Yeah, well, it is gonna be 10 games.
We already played a bunch of games
on those first three days of group stages,
but today is gonna be 10 games.
Top six, get a chance to go as I said earlier,
match point finals.
You're gonna be hearing that a lot
as this is the survival stage.
20 teams, I mean, we already have 14 teams waiting
in the match point grand finals.
We have some heavy hitters over there.
I think today, if anything,
a lot of these teams are possibly gonna be using this
as an extra oomph, which is a snipe down
to make sure that they get everything in order.
I mean, this is the highest stakes that we have.
This is, you know, usually it's the top 10
that make it through, now it's only the top six.
So all these teams have so much more to prove.
And we talked a lot about the format yesterday
and how much we, you know, we love
and we feel like we want all the best teams
to make it to the grand finals.
There's a lot of stacked rosters in this,
or yeah, in this elimination finals here for survival.
And honestly, it's gonna just come down to
who practiced the most, who's feeling the most comfortable.
And I think the teams that, you know,
maybe started a little slow
and picked it up near the second half.
They're the ones with the momentum.
They're the ones that we're gonna be watching today.
those are the ones that I think we're going to see pushing towards pop since well there you have it right there this was the group stage leaderboard elite
e-sports I mean they were playing out of this world same with Tim liquid honestly not only having some of the best series in a while
Having their best group stage in a long time late. Yeah, I mean team liquid just got it together a little bit there
I did want to sort of touch on a little bit like this number from elite even close to team liquid, you know the 199 in
I believe it was lost Vegas
This dark zero had 248 on the all group stages and they were a little bit worried that elite
was kind of going to get that many points in these, you know, sort of group stages.
But look, didn't make it there, but that is still an absolute feat in Team Liquid and
SAUL staying consistent.
I did want to say that we talk about these teams that want to, you know, stay consistent.
And like you said, graceful, they need to do it immediately.
I feel like, yes, we have 10 games, but I feel like they may need to go out of the
gates swinging, maybe just push that momentum a little bit more.
We obviously see these teams making their rotations and getting into that, especially
teams like SAUL and stuff like that.
But yeah, I think today, if you are to match those teams that are in the top, you're going
to need to follow suit and do exactly what they can do because that's the competition.
If you get those top six, you're about to go against.
that we keeping an eye on that we've been keeping an eye on since the beginning
too is Virtus.Pro this what was just almost there so close that they ended
up being tied with that 14 squad with a limit what do they need to do to make
sure they end up with those top six teams going to match point finals. I think
all of these teams that are in the cusp of making it to finals straight off the
get-go in the upper batch of making it through the way they kind of found their
proactiveness a little bit too late so now if we definitely if we look at the
last series as well, the last couple of games. Everybody, we saw 14 team circle too I think.
Everybody was absolutely sending it on everyone and being that proactive from the get-go is where
you have to go because if it starts way too late the pressure just keeps going up and up because
only six teams make it through. You can't just smooth by like we said on a top 10 five points
average anymore. You need to be dropping like 50 plus points. Yeah I mean honestly we talk about
you know once again the format. We have 10 games so it's going to come down to the consistency
And the teams that are able to drop these massive games,
you know, we see some teams pull away with the 30 points
that are able to propel them to the top of the leaderboard.
Those games are going to be so massive
while making sure that your points are consistent.
You're not dropping those zeros,
averaging with at least, you know, five or six a game.
So when those big games do come,
that gives you a big buffer.
And honestly, I'm, you know, I'm kind of worried
for, you know, the strafing claims, the RQs,
where, you know, they started so well.
They got top three in their first lobby
and then ever since then,
it's just been kind of a fall off.
So that consistency isn't there.
And, I mean, honestly, at this point, you have to ask questions about, you know,
certain teams you have, uh, WRG, Nio, you have Gen G, who we were hyping up from day one
that still hasn't seemed to find their stride.
It really does come down to this final set of matches,
and it'll be very interesting to see if the consistency happens or, you know,
if teams start fading away.
Yeah, we need a big bang at the start, guys.
All right, you need to come out of the gates running, grab those points early,
and then maintain that.
Well, he just mentioned Gen G, too.
I know this is one team that you've been giving a close eye on, Lays, for that squad.
And now they have had extra time, right?
Luckily, they weren't able to make it here to survival stage.
Will they have what it takes to make sure they readjust whatever was going on wrong with group stages and make it to the thousands?
You kind of look at their mental capabilities because you see them so happy when they do right.
We saw it in Strabbeam Flames and stuff cheering even though they didn't win.
And then you see Crycie with head in his hands when they sort of didn't make it.
So this is just going to have to be something that they have to get together mentally.
Okay, well, hey, we talked about TNT. There's so many more teams to talk about but I believe Reinde
It's with Virtus Pro. So let's see what Virtus Pro has got to say for today for survival stage at LGS at EWC 26
Hey, man, thank you for interviewing with us. This is Prestus from Virtus Pro. How are you feeling going into today?
I'm gonna be today
You are one of our top damage dealers your third overall, but it's been hard for you guys to win a game
Do you know what's been wrong?
What's what you guys have looked to fix to get into those top 5s and then come out winning?
We just
do a mistake
Yeah too much for
Win game so
That's why we cannot win and we talked about it yesterday. So so now we're gonna win listen
People love you. You are one of our great new stars anything you want to say to your fans
Love you guys, thank you. Thank you for your cheating.
Prestus and VP, I'm gonna let you go man, get settled for today.
He is one of the best damage dealers we have in all of Amia,
and today it's time for him to show out or go home.
Something that Prestus might have wanted to tell all his fans too is that don't worry,
we're gonna do our best to make sure we are within those top six.
But now to a team that has honestly been struggling.
I've been looking at the social media and a lot of people have been counting this team out,
especially on the second half of their series yesterday.
And this is our PSY story of the day,
which is none other than Aurora,
because this squad, man, underperforming,
is, it doesn't even fit into it.
Yeah, I mean, we've been following along a lot
with the Alliance, Aurora storyline,
and you know, Alliance kind of leapfrogged them.
And then you have Aurora,
who's just been really underperforming this whole week.
And I think the real main question here is,
was it a fluke when they won with hierarchy?
I think this is the moment that he needs to come out
improve that they are the top team. They're meant to be here. It's the top six again.
So, you know, they don't get the buffer of just being mediocre in this lobby. You have
to prove and be the best to survive. And I think it's going to really come down to how
much cohesion they have. We saw the vibes were a little low. So if they don't start
off strong, what's that going to look like on the cameras when we pan into that? And
I hope effect can really step up as a player because this is one of those, you know, he's
been the kill leader at most tournaments that they've been at under under alliance and with
Haka says the IGL, so is there some communication issues there that's making him not be able
to be as free of a slayer as we're used to seeing?
And I guess we're going to find out right here.
I think in general they just didn't get put into those scenarios where they could frag
out to you.
If you're never getting into end even realistically, you're never going to be fragging out.
So yeah, yesterday it looked like they were straight on survival mode, today they're still
in survival mode, but they do have 10 games to warm up properly and you're playing through
every map.
and clicking, maybe the others are really hope to see them wake up because if not, they're going home.
I have to hard agree with that, like, and you know, we're sort of touching on it. You don't have that time.
You don't have that time to not get it together and get it immediately, you know, honed in.
But I'm not just the faith person. I'm not just the one like, I have faith. Yeah, you can do it.
You can do it. I mean, every, every, every team here is a professional.
I was like, yeah, you got this, but yeah, this is down at the stakes.
Like we said, there's something the top six like you can't just submit into the top 10 you have a lot
You know since this is the faith person here
I'm not even gonna send it to you tonight because once you hear this team
I just got to see the reaction on your face. But do you think RQ?
Is gonna make it in the top six
You've been on them the whole time. Are you gonna flip up on the place? I
Know I have faith but
But why that's a little bit too much face
No, really put me on this one. Yeah, you know what? Let's switch. I don't I don't you don't I don't I just
Watching these games. I know not with this format. I just don't I don't know I don't think so fair fair
What's one thing and I hope that I've just jinxed it so they actually do well. Oh my god reverse
Yeah, we've been doing that a little bit. Yeah
Yeah, they started off hot though.
They did start off hot.
We did that with JDG yesterday.
We all said they weren't.
They came out hot, so.
Okay, let's do it again then.
It's, I already know your answer, actually.
What?
What for?
You're gonna make me the top six?
Yes or no, Grace.
Let's look at that today's schedule.
Okay, so I will say no,
but I hope at the end of the day,
I will say I apologize.
I wasn't familiar with your game.
That's what I hope I have to say.
Well, looking at all these games
we're gonna be playing here to the 10 games.
We're gonna be starting on E-Districts,
Nightdown, is there any team that automatically comes
to your mind saying E-District?
You know what, I expect this team to do great.
Honestly, we were looking at some of the average
placements and PXX is in a really good position
to, I believe they're at Blossom,
and there's been a couple wins on that.
The average placements are around,
I think the average points are around eight per game there.
So I think that they have a good draft,
but at the end of the day, we're playing every map.
You know, we're not getting the luxury of, you know,
oh, we're good on this map and we're good on this map
and the bracket play.
You have to be good at everything.
And with so many maps, the drafts,
every team gets at least a couple POIs
and they need to turn up on the ones
that they drafted specifically for their picks.
I mean, not only that, but legend maps.
We haven't been affected by legend maps
to this degree in this tournament so far, DWC,
where now you're just going past six games.
If you don't have any more comps at that end,
we're probably gonna see, you know,
I think we're gonna see more Fuse.
Who knows, maybe?
Even a chicken life or not?
You feel like life or not?
But no, we'll see.
But all these comps will come out,
where you're not used to seeing the Orthodox comps,
where you're like, OK, you're just playing
the first BC Crypto Band, the BC Sierra Band.
Now it's like, what are we actually banning at 7, 8, and 9?
Yes, because we're trying to touch on those skin characters,
because no one's using bloodhands.
Let's face it, no one's using bloodhands.
Two, two, our team?
We were talking about our team yesterday.
No, I think we should see more like, you know,
the vantage plays because the sniper has the shields
that you can sort of check what type of shields they've gotten stuff like that.
So I feel like there's going to be a little more bandages coming out because we're taking
away those game characters.
Okay. And then another team, I mean, we got to just brief on quickly is Wolves, right?
We had no name. The first place team out of their regions.
They're going to make top six.
Oh, that's okay.
That's the confidence.
I agree with that.
So that's why I was like, look, don't put me on the spot for that on the team.
I don't think of it.
There's the one.
Now it's not.
You said you actually agree with it too.
I do agree with that. I'm going to I'd say NIP is going to also be a team that has some
of the top six. I mean, I know that they've been kind of falling under the radar, but
their final series set was exactly what we've been expecting out of them this entire tournament.
And we talked, we got the luxury of talking to Vane on the studio the other day. And you
know, he's just constantly saying, you know, we're improving, losing his learning. And
they knew they started slow. Apparently this was his own, this was Vane's second time
idling from zone, which is something that's a different to basketball. He was the idled
oxygen. They played a lot of, you know, hybrid edge. And I think for them, this is why they
They deal the most damage and all of America's probably the highest damage differential
And I'm really looking for them to continue that because I'd love to see them in the final lobby
I mean for me personally, I think you're seeing that interview as well
But you're like like the EPS said as well, you know, we're feeling comfortable in this whole thing
That's the mindset you really have to bring today because you don't really have the choice anymore. It's do or die survive
I'll go home. All right. Well, you just said it. It is a do or die
You're either gonna be
Surviving in those top six, going to the grand finals,
or you're going to be going home,
it's time to find out what's going to happen today.
6 teams have been sent packing, but that's just not enough.
So after today, 14 more will join them in the graveyard.
No more second chances.
It's show up or go home.
We've already lost six teams.
But for a big final, we need 20, which means that 14 other teams
will be eliminated.
Listen, today's not about winning.
Today is about survival.
And when this kind of pressure is on, that is when champions are revealed.
And so with that being said, the real question is
who can perform when survival is on the line?
Today, everything is a question of survival.
They have 10 games to play to prove themselves.
Many of the teams present here deserve to be captured.
This is the first place, ladies and gentlemen.
So, I'm going to ask you to make a maximum of noise to welcome our teams.
Let's start with Team OOQ!
J.D. Gaming!
Ninja and Pizama!
W.G.R. Neo
Ziplan Mafia
Wolves Esports
Gengi e-sports.
Four fun e-sports.
Flats.
Flats!
KineTrope Club!
Ruler Gaming!
PXX!
She'll be fine with that!
Dinos!
Real of deep cross gaming!
Raining EWC Champions VK Gaming
PK Esports
And finally, T.I.E.
Now, as you all know, this is the eSports World Cup, and so, keys must be crushed.
So with that being said, ladies and gentlemen, please join us in welcoming to the main stage
your first place team from the group stage Elite Esports.
This is the new Wimple Elite Esports!
Okay, okay, kinder, light and henchmen.
Welcome to the Crusher.
So, kinder, I want to ask you first and foremost,
stepping into the final day tomorrow in first place.
I spoke to Light yesterday, he said that
You said that not a huge amount of expectations coming into this tournament, but you're currently
leading the charge.
What does that do for your confidence?
That feels amazing.
Of course, the boys are prepared for tomorrow.
The vibes are up.
Everyone's ready for it.
All confident.
We're ready to crush it, just like we're going to crush the skis.
Oh, baby!
So, Edgerton, question.
Of course, you play against all of these teams in front of you.
So if you have to choose one, which one do you like to see qualified tomorrow with you
for the big finals?
I'd like to see W. Jarnio to qualify.
Oh, and why that?
I had really nice people.
Let's go.
Let's hear it for nice people.
I like that.
OK.
Lutie, it's about that time, my friend.
Let's get this going.
Let's open up the crusher, and let's get this started.
I think we pressed that again.
Oh, something's happening.
Here we go.
OK, the gears are turning.
We're ready to go.
Light, is there anything that you
would like to say before we crush these six keys.
I mean, softball and voiceball, they played pretty bad song.
Now the kids need to be crushed, so that's good.
Let's do it.
Here we go.
We're now going to crush the keys for the lever.
And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen.
OK, that was quick.
It was painful.
And I enjoyed it.
So now our survival teams have seen what it is like for their keys to be crushed in a stunning crusher right here.
So if that doesn't motivate you, I don't know what will.
And so with that being said, welcome to the survival stage of ALGS Split 1 Playoffs.
10th game of Apex Legends to try to qualify for the big finals.
Ladies and gentlemen, the survival stage of the WC begins now!
this tournament.
They're just gonna hold them out.
There's one from Colt.
And he's hungry for more. Colt wants to finish this off himself.
N.I.P. are back!
They will win the final game here.
And an L-Star and a dream of the portal.
Look at legacy, the angles, the high-end enemy line.
Here comes Sennetic, Sharky though, last standing.
He's mentioned, with a triple-ticket hitting,
and he may have left a far-funged tanker, far-funged.
Stantall and Gardens in Mount Number 2.
Who are they?
She came in and looking to take the jug,
when they needed the most floating.
He did up Stantall, came P, it's up to State Nutty,
Elsa in hand, playing up the knockdown, only one member left.
Come on, JDGaming!
At the very last second, they take the final game.
Anna Lippes, they are your game three winners.
All eyes on JDG.
David bragging out seven total kills with his team,
but the follow-up from Stubbe.
As four-fold get eliminated, Mike Thotees
We're totally low, love the swing, nothing has to move, they can't get the whole line.
That's all closing in right behind me, that's all my God!
Get eliminated, shoot me! It's just built different!
Welcome along everyone to the AOG's Swift 1 playoffs here at AWC 2026.
And today is all about survival.
We are in the survival stage.
Dan Gaskin alongside myself on set to take you through this first game here on E-District.
And let me tell you, you've got to be nervous today if you're one of the teams on our main stage
because only six teams will survive in the end of play today.
Six teams will go through those match point files.
Ten matches as well today, which is the key factor for me.
This is going to be a test of strength and also a distance here.
Can you go all the way?
Are you going to falter in the middle part or can you actually have consistency across every single map because that's also key?
Yes, we start here on e-district for playing every map in the pool today
Yeah, we are playing every single map like you say and when we're looking at the maps
We go look at the PMI draft. This is what happened overnight
This is where these teams will be playing from here on e-district now take a look across some of these picks that anything in
In particular that jumps out to you
So we have to look at the best performing POI so far this tournament blossom drive neon and viaduct so PXX
Gonna be dropping at blossom. We've already seen elite esports performing very well from blossom averaging nine points from there
Aurora are going to be at neon. This is a pretty good POI quite central to work with can they bounce back from their performances yesterday?
And then RRQ are going to be at stadium
They're actually our best performing e-district team so far this tournament and they have already been dropping down at stadium
the other side. We're going to
be able to see the players be
very comfortable for them on
their rotation. So I'm a big
kind of recency bias stand and
I'm one of these sports. I'm
pretty happy. But labs considering
the amount of zones we saw
pulling down there yesterday
will have to see if that pattern
continues or maybe will explore
a little bit more of the district
in our end games today. It's
gonna be fascinating data to
watch. Then on the other side
looking at weaker teams on the
Stormpoint, World's Edge and Olympus for something else, the same can be said about E36, only 15% of their points have come from this map and JDG only 18% of their points as well.
One thing we were discussing before the play got underway today, or before play does get underway today, is we got a feeling that we're going to lose one of the big dogs today.
Somewhere along the line, you feel like with the amount of talent that is in this lobby in these 20 teams, with 10 games ahead of us Dan,
and surely we lose someone that you wouldn't expect
to be falling out this early in the tournament.
There's a lot of big names still in this survival stage
and only six places to get through
to those match point finals.
I think you're right.
There's only somebody points you can gather here
and a lot of it is going to be learned in this first map.
Are you gonna be able to step up to the plate here?
Will you be able to fight the current
that is currently going on at the moment
or can you actually change the tide
and go into your favor in these next matches?
Well, I did notice during the walkouts
the players and teams entered the stage. Aurora will be very happy they made it
because the Aurora noise and fans were certainly picking up when they entered
the stage and they will be interested to see if they can continue the form at the
back end of that series yesterday into today. To make that match point final for
Aurora for where they were yesterday would be a ridiculous, ridiculous move.
And even though they do have the momentum behind them in the fact that they
have qualified for the survival stage after looking like they were on the
the first match, I think it's
always a good indication of
how teams are feeling coming
into a day like this. Are you
playing a more aggressive
play style? You're going to go
for something a little bit more
slow and methodical. Another
team to keep an eye on in this
lobby Shopify rebellion, maybe a
team that expected to get through
to the final. But I think they
would know that themselves. It's
going to be a test that's for
sure. But again, this first
match, I think it's always a good
indication of how teams are
feeling coming into a day like
this. Are you playing a more
aggressive play style? You're
going to go for something a
little bit more slow and
to get through to the match point finals. Of course, they've had some tribulations and funny will be sitting into they substituting alongside
zap and
Zynu
And then you've got the likes of ninjas in pajamas. What are the hate ones for them?
Yes, they they left it like that, but they just survived and they almost managed to jump into match point finals
I think the good thing for ninjas in pajamas is they were finding wins
They've been able to get a couple of wins on the board even though they weren't as consistent see consistent as we had seen
the team. They are playing with
phony. I do think that that is
an incredible addition to have
on your team as well as a
replacement for Koi. That being
said, Shopify rebellion 42% of
their points have been on the
district. So these opening three
maps very important to us.
We're going to be looking at
the next two games. We're going
to be looking at the next two
games. We're going to be looking
at the next two games. We're
going to be looking at the next
So these opening three maps, very important.
Yeah, very important indeed to get those e-district points on the board.
If you're looking strong on a particular map today, you have to make the most of it
because we are going to be chopping and changing.
We are going to be seeing every single map in the Apex Legends Global Series today
in this survival stage.
I don't know what to expect.
I think we're going to have upsets.
I think we're going to have huge moments
and we're certainly going to have some heartbreak in that final game of the day.
But before we get there, we've got a lot of action to get through.
Stying off with match number one, we are live on E-District, the survival stage. Is that the way?
La Rora have been fighting that current for a long time throughout the stages so far,
but finally they were able to turn the tide and find themselves here in the survival stage.
Are they going to do enough to actually get through to match point finals? A lot of eyes
are going to be on them, a lot of pressure on their shoulders, but they have survived task one.
Can you now survive the survival stage? Well, let's see where this end game is going to be
to play VP already on their
way towards zone as our flat as
our wolves everybody quickly
rotating as you would expect in
a lobby like this. I don't think
you need to be a mathematician
to notice there's a 100%
cryptos in the lobby. I was
gonna say 100 cryptos that would
be even worse. So I'm gonna
take a look at the map. It looks
like we're heading down towards
draft point so Humbert laps
still looking like a pretty good
pure draft here for wolves
east was they're gonna have a
good prior over at draw point
essentially be T I E. We're
gonna have the pick of the
litter as to where they want to
So crypto is definitely going to be a band going into the next one, but as you look around there are still rates popping up a lot of
Caustics as you would expect here on the district as well and expect a lot of void passages to change that end game just being able to
bounce through some of these walls here or there. There are a few teams.
I'm just going to get Gen G here by the way. Gen G, you've got Crypto Maggi Bangalore game one. So Gen G's plan is to play like Gen G play,
which has been very aggressive. Look to take those fights and use those MNK aims inside of some of that smoke.
the game. I'm not sure if
that's a good idea. But like
Neo also playing the mad Maggie.
I do think playing Maggie earlier
is quite good because she
typically is going to get banned
around map three, you would feel
and legend bands is another
important factor is like VP have
lost the player here. I don't
know if that's a person off the
map, whether that was an
accident, but they're going to
be able to get taskmaster back
onto his feet. So it's not
going to be too much of a
problem. But as we are playing
every single match today, as we
to the left of the stage. It's
here. Those games eight nine
and 10 are going to be
interesting when it comes to
composition. We'll have to see
if there's a little bit of a
reset. On some of the legends
or if we're gonna have
something a little bit out of
the box when we get to those
latter games. Just a note
there. It was a VP. We saw
getting that respawn. It
almost worked out for them
on the quickest teams that
you rotate his own and not
being able to pick up too much
even on the way, but having to
hit the respawn that you
get up to blues pretty easily.
Let me see industry their PXX taking a longer route
They're gonna have to pick up some Evo on their way forward. You can see that only managed to get up to
Haven't managed to get up at all when it comes to armors still
On the finish of armors with the white armor
A long way to go for them DCG on our screen right now
Speaking of Evo speaking harvesters they're finding one down
By the feet as they land that's gonna help them get a little bit closer to purple
that's gonna be the plan for them here as they move to the city hall.
Elsewhere, a lot of fans of VK Gaming, the reigning EWC champions in the building as well.
Can they live up to expectations and get a chance to defend their title in the match point finals?
They did find at least a comfortable route here through to the survival stage,
but they have not looked like champions thus far. Maybe they could change that here today.
Interesting game number one, actual end zone. In fact, the E-district,
we always talk about how end zones in general have a lot of playable space,
And that is similar to what we're seeing in this particular end zone, but there's a lot of different layers of buildings
we're gonna see a lot of
Cohabited buildings a lot of noisy neighbors shall we say when we get towards that end game and you can already see here VP
Who had to be set early here? I've already got some noisy neighbors. This is the Southwest building
I was talking about it can be a bit of a choke point
You can hold people out that being said because you do have multiple levels and people are playing core sticks
You kind of hold them out and you can share the building as well
And that's exactly what you're seeing at the moment Neo get forced away a little bit as Virtus Pro
They play the height quite successfully and now Aurora are starting to arrive to the party here
They're coming for the Southwest. This is down at Southwest like you say. It's just outside of zone
The Yaka no rain separate episode slightly from effects
This is where you're gonna see Alta really come into play effect is trying to be the altar
Trying to take some angles. Trying to see if he can flush out that first frag.
That's what he does best in that thermite. He's going to tick tick tick away.
The Arloit is not quite connecting in the way that we used to see it from effect there, but good damage done anyway.
Neo frustrating Aurora a little bit. They are sporadically spread out. They are not making it easy for them at all.
And other teams are going to be in the area versus Bro starting to take a look closer towards this one as well.
So Aurora just have to be careful, they don't go chasing shadows.
That's actually gonna be Neo who lose one here in VP.
Looking at over extended third part, you can see they do have the Void Nexus down in that building, but you've got to get to it!
Impressedis is gonna be hopes to be dragged, he's gonna get that knockdown shield working, and just about manages to avoid the final bullets.
VP will survive.
They go back to the door and they will hold him, but he watched out for them, and they just pick up a KP.
Those darn knockdown shields there, they always get in the way.
They're gonna have that sensitivity high so you can spin around and make sure you deny those bullets as quickly as possible as VP now.
Impact just took the ball. He wants to get aggressive. I love seeing this early on here from Aurora.
They don't want to let Prestus get comfortable. They don't want to let VP get an easy reset here.
They want to push the advances that they have, but even though it's a slight risk, unlike the intention that's coming in.
He's a very busy respawn beacon already so far in the game. It's been hit twice. I know as well also. Look at that.
A little bit of a policy will get back into the game as soon as we are ready, but then what of actions right down that's other
side of the game. It's a very busy respawn beacon already so far in the game. It's been hit twice. I know as well.
the game as soon as we are
ready. But then we'll have
actions right down that
southern side start off. It is
so funny is that these teams
that just notice these battles
are happening and they think
they can maybe get involved. And
then you see that it's actually
already three teams fighting.
You're like, Okay, we'll have a
look. We're probably going to
back off away from this one. We're
in a better position. We'll just
see what happens and watch this
one comfortably from our
surface. Interesting as well. You
know, you look at that play
guaranteeing a scrim lobby Aurora
that's so many teams already in
zone. It becomes a little bit
more complicated. Effective a
good job actually to hit that
respawn nice and quickly while
VP was still trying to reset
themselves and a couple of
teams are getting involved like
dinos, for example, which means
that essentially everyone survived.
No one is out of the lobby as
yet. Zip one mafia. I think
lost one, but outside of that
has been a few scuffles, but no
team has fallen. Yeah, shop for
rebellion and zip one were going
toe to toe. Think Gen G and DCG
also were looking at each other
a few engagements when we do unpause here, but as you were mentioning, a lot of teams
already have played zone already found themselves in a comfortable position. And it is frustrating
when you're trying to take these fights. I think it was Dino's in the end who put a
couple of bullets towards Aurora and Virtus. Pro. They got involved in that fight because
they had some long range weapons to do so.
I'm 30 30 repeats are peaking and doing the damage required. There's VK Gaming looking
pretty chill about today. I think coming into today, you've got to come into it with that
kind of an attitude. I think if you put pressure on your shoulders from the
moment that you get into these games, you're really going to struggle. A
reminder to everyone who's watching as well, not just here in Paris, but
everybody at home as well. Ten games is the series today. We are in for a
marathon of Apex Legends and those latter games, I think it's going to be a few
tired faces when we get to those final moments. Yeah, I wouldn't want to be the
mathematicians who are trying to work out what the cut-offs going to be during
match one, but when we start to
get towards the latter stages,
we can start to think about
those numbers and just how
tight it's going to be. I was
thinking about yesterday, it was
tight when we were in one of the
group stage games, you know, we
had the three way tie, three
teams on 61 points, sadly elite
didn't get that turkey they were
looking for for three group match
one, but then you look at the
other side, we're in qualification
for match point finals, we had
two teams, three teams I think
tied, and we had another tie
breaker. It's just been such a
closely contested tournament so
I mean, we saw kinder on the
way in today from at least
sports and I mentioned to
was like, I can't believe you
left me having to look at
199 all night. Can you just
got 200 and say, dude, I know
like I saw it as well when we
died in that final game. I was
just as annoyed, but. You take
first place doesn't matter
what the point to tell you is
we're back in the game. The
game is a pause. Well, folks,
we're involved in that little
scuffle. We saw on that
Southwest building. Dinos will
be happy to go back to where
to go back to where they came
from. Pre extinction is now
the zone is going to continue to
move a little bit further south,
but away really from the
buildings that versus pro and
Aurora are currently hovering
around. Now this is the
engagement I was talking about
Shopify rebellion had taken down
one from Zipline mafia. Now
Zipline will not use the zip
line to get away, but they will
have a port. We next is down.
They're going to escape for now.
back in the building. Effector, just have a chip on his shoulder today. I think he woke up
playing for blood. He wants kills. He's a dangerous man to play against when he is at his very best,
that's for sure. And on the altar, he can manipulate the map, try and give the team an advantage here,
and maybe catch Virtus.Pro off guard. He's just waiting for his teammates to engage,
He's just looking for a peek.
If someone jumps up onto that roof,
the arca on the drawing
is giving him a scanner, letting him know
exactly where Virtus.pro are.
Here comes the climb.
He's just going to wait for another scan,
I think, before he decides
who's first victim may become.
And if just going to be careful,
they're well aware of Thynos.
They know there are other teams that could get involved
in this fight, but they are certainly planning
an attack at the moment. That rate
That keyboard is amazing as well.
There's the ERP as effect now.
Might just decide to take charge.
In piece exchange between the two teams.
Taskmaster, playing that corner, watching that void passage,
making sure that effect cannot get that free pick.
VP are holding extremely well here.
The frustrating thing about trying to take any building off a core stick
is it's stinky.
It is not enjoyable and it's very difficult to do so.
to make this uncomfortable for
Aurora and effect in particular.
Usually just paying so much
attention to your shields in
those fights that when the
caustic barrels are activating
and it's chipping away your health,
you kind of almost don't realize
it. When the shields get broken,
all of a sudden you've only got
50 HP or so when it comes to
health and you find yourself on
your back. So you've got to be
aware in the kill feed, by the
way, QQ just took down one,
BKG have secured their first point of the game.
Still plenty of time for both of these teams. There's not a panic immediately.
This zone is going to be very comfortable.
See if he's not here, maybe.
What do they want there, here, Aurora?
This has been isolated for quite some time.
No one from the center of zone feels like they need to join this.
Even Dino's have decided, you know, this isn't worth it.
We'll think about the team that wins.
Here's the MP again.
and effect is looking to move in and get that first knock once more.
Huge damage coming out of the effect and it is going to be the future of the mother life
for press, on to press this, for Oirain against Aurora that first knock.
They waited for those abilities to be available, for Oirain is down.
It's the 2v2 inside this building.
2v2, but look how weak they are and now Dino is starting to get involved.
DJ Killer up to the top and says, maybe I'll have a little look here.
We could pick up the pieces and Aurora has to be careful.
DJ Killer causes some problems.
Aurora down to one, down to zero!
VP still alive somehow, but for how long not very long whether that's a few things
because Dino's have been waiting for their opportunity to strike.
Was it necessary? It's probably a question that both Virtus.Pro and Aurora are going to be asking
themselves here, especially considering like five minutes ago that same thing happened where
the first time. They're
playing a game where Aurora
pushing and then dinos are
able to come in and get a
couple of knocks. Frustrating.
I'm sure for both teams
involved, but dinos will be all
smiles. The new boys online.
They get the kills in their
favor, and they'll be first in
the lobby at the moment. Five
points on board, and they have
the Southwest side. Let me tell
you, Dinos as you say new to the
land experience new to the live
event experience. I love the
confidence they play with so many
teams would have watched that
happen. Well, we are safe and
No fear and you have to do that when the opportunity presents itself in these kind of lobbies in the kill feed though
Sinatic has just got enough on to Shopify rebellions that
You jump over to DCG now
Outside of zone kind of hovering in and out on zone
This sounds gonna go into the joint to see if he can spot out some of these players coming from the O
Maybe scare him away a little bit by getting some of those scams, but the drone is destroyed and now they are might think about pushing
I don't think we'll want to
force this one too much. If they
can cohabit, it can kind of hold
the northwest a little bit here.
They are just going to back away from now.
By the way, Dino is after pushing that fight.
They have lost their spot to Shopify
Rebellion a little bit, so I know
we were saying they didn't fear about
pushing things, but Shopify Rebellion
to capitalize about the gap that they found in the map.
Shout out the Herbie Krabs. Moving up to take away someone else's spot.
Now Gen.G, they might be having their game taken away from them.
They're going to get slid on here as PXX.
Well, the eliminated Dexter is that final player.
Gen.G fall out the lobby. The comp did not work this time around.
Back over to Nioh, though. And DCG, it looks like they really do want to take this fight.
And it's going to be DCG who gets this first knock. So, shout out who gets it.
Great patience from DCG initially, though.
They do get the full wipe, Nio will be eliminated, but they've waited for a little bit of commotion to happen on the map.
Some of that noise gets covered up and you can push in.
Somewhat unnoticed.
And there is Roy, the baby-faced assassin. He looks so locked in and ready for this survival stage.
Calling the shots for the troops.
As they get their first points on the board here.
VKG, we mentioned how QQ has already found one kill in the lobby.
Well, he's doubled it up by the looks of things.
One, two, and he's looking to hit the Void Nexus.
Can't quite execute.
Cassus sat on that Void Nexus on the other side, though.
Can they keep the knockdown shields up long enough
to get back to the safety of Cassie here for the risk?
Gets one.
Oh, doesn't get a second, though.
So, DKG are gonna be down to just the two.
JDG now starting to join the action here.
And that's a very contested area in the Northeast at the moment.
You've got six teams, they're all eyeing each other up.
I'm curious to see whether anyone's gonna try
and rotate a little bit down to the southern side.
I think TIE have been the biggest winners
of this zone ball right now,
and they find themselves dead center.
Well, VKG have managed to get the reset at least
using the crypto drone to grab the banner
and then hit the respawn beacon,
but that's gonna be a little lonely landing.
Split away from the two teammates.
And see at the screen right now, Shafi,
He's dancing inside the toilet, but it might get a little bit explosive in there.
We've all been there before, as VKG looked to push up to try and help the team stay alive.
Kassar has managed to get back in.
RRQ been eliminated in the meantime, and now VKG has started to pitch onto KMC inside this building.
It's QQ not quite connecting with the R9, excuse me, it's Kassar.
QQ is connected on the downs, and Wolves each Wolves will be eliminated.
You can always spot out a mouse and keyboard player with the R9, I feel as Wolves going down now leaves us with 14.
Still a couple more engagements happening on the North. PXX is trying to force their way into the moment, but they're being held out by DCG.
And Zipline Mafia still have a solo that is away from the rest of the team.
Just looking to try and apply a little bit of extra down edge of DCG, and Roy trying to clean up the rest of PXX.
One player still stuck behind that knockdown shield.
End of 4th stage, 6th were eliminated as well as KineTrope Club.
So eight teams out of the lobby already.
Something to highlight here by the way, as we look at DCG.
TIE, dropped over at the draw point, are still banged,
center of zone, away from all of this action.
They have called zone perfectly.
And that was right down, it's down to DCG.
Xiaoxuei looking to clutch for his team, but Sennetti will peek.
Before funny sports, and get that knockshot.
Fire Rebellion will go down as well.
They sat now in the 1v1.
Jumps into the drone, but I don't think he meant to do this.
An armistice will pass. They cost him, no, it hasn't.
Into the Bedamas for 4.
PXX eliminated as well as for Fun.
We'll finish off the final remaining member of Real of DCG.
Into the drone, Bamboo, who's with him a little bit, I think,
but for Fun, they've been quietly good about their business
on the Northwest.
But now they're starting to heat up,
of course, they were very close to making it
to match point finals yesterday.
Sadly, with a 4-match-6,
they couldn't quite get over that finish line.
They are definitely a team who can thrive in this lobby.
I'll tell you what, this frag grenade might be followed by some very big numbers.
Shuby!
With the banger! With the frag grenade, flat, get flattened!
Five kills now for floating.
And five kills, they're gonna help JDG stand themselves up a little bit further in this leaderboard.
And I like this position that they currently take as well.
You were speaking about TIE holding the middle, well JDG might try and contest them.
That's real challenge for TIE.
What EMP is going off? JDG thinking is it right to push it? Or do we think about playing for some placement points?
They will be safe inside this zone, threading the needle though. F-Chan finds out the naughty don't miss too many bullets without wingman.
Sadly, TIE go down. Couldn't quite fortify that middle spot which potentially was a game winning spot and maybe they give the opportunity to JDG now.
We check if it's it by mafia who have been very resilient this game
But they are being very focused down here in this choke point
Decided because we're in Paris. It's no longer the l-star is loose star
We're gonna have to see here. Excuse me. Can't use it in the way that he needs to
To force zip line Matthew a little bit closer
Towards this end game now
They do have the boy passage on the ultra available to get back up to that high ground if they need to so the low ground can
to be very beneficial to play from if you can avoid the attention of the teams above.
Worth noting as well, JDG, the only team running on Watson alive in this lobby at the moment,
and the fact they are controlling the high ground really helps having those fencers compared to
the gas that you're going to see from the course mix. And yes, there will be cryptos,
but are people going to waste those cryptos? Well, here's Bloatip. Oh, he used to hit that.
Just about managed to get back to his teammates. His influencing fight series, Dino, GK, and VK
will all be eliminated in the blink of an eye.
First win on land as IGL yesterday for Naughty.
And you can see what it meant to him.
JDG are dominating the lobby right now.
Eight kills for this man.
A superstar in the making.
And now he's livin' up to that.
Zipline Mafia are going to take that point next to below JDGaming.
So perhaps that'll turn attention to four fun on their rotation in.
It's really going to depend where Zipline Mafia go for how this fight plays out.
There is an option for Zipline Mafia to try and stay as low and quiet as possible, but
they don't have the same kind of coverage that Forfun and JD currently have.
It's difficult for Zipline Mafia here to find a space that's safe.
Before he passes through, that staircase will help them, but now you can see how easily
These shots should be the hit here for Floating.
Zip by Mafia, in the open.
We've seen one bang and eight, will this be the next?
Yes, it will, Wicked down!
And Floating is taking this game over, he's already got eight.
Now they have to start thinking about four-five,
though I know they have a quite eliminated Zip Lome,
but Floating still has eyes on the prize.
Now it's a straight 3v3.
Floating head shots already!
However, it's Sinetti. He takes down Norty.
Shivi falls as well. It's all up to Floating. He can't clutch.
It's for fun that he's sports.
The winning game number one here on E-Distreet.
Nax says keep it calm, keep it calm. It's just match one,
but it is a very important match one to get under your belt.
At one point yesterday for fun, the question was,
are they even going to make it into the survival stage?
And then it turns who could they even make match point final straight from there?
Even though they just missed out they are now one of the favorites here in the survival stage
Now it's a long way to go. This is a six game series. I'd be saying for fun that win
Fantastic you were almost
Taking all the pressure off your shoulders saying hey, we might have done enough with it
Just don't have a good game here or there in the rest of the series
But the fact that this is a 10 game series, that's not gonna be enough for a big game here
You're going to have to continue to perform at the high level.
Now, JDG, let's talk about that.
And let's talk about floating because the guy was fragging.
I love the bounce, Nade, as well.
Useless in the frag as he saw the Arch-Star was coming his way.
Just being able to use any utility he can to try and favor himself in that fight.
Sadly, fours, they're blind mafia.
They were never really going to survive from that spot.
But the fact they got to top three,
if you take yourself back to when we were in, like, the last eight,
they were already being focused.
They were already packed into a corner,
But they just survived long enough and sometimes that survival can pick up big points for you and they do in the end
Pick up 11 points total which placement wise was brilliant for them and allows them to stay in the top four
It was what ti are you getting into the top seven?
I think it was dropping over at draw point playing center zone for the majority of the game
But the floats and show I'll tell you what buy your tickets now while the prices are a little bit lower because in a year's time
This guy's gonna be a headliner
Floating just picking off player off the player
He looks a little bit shaky yesterday in some moments, but it looks like today. He is feeling like he's also and honestly
The survival stage isn't the worst place to be you get 10 extra matches
Before you go into the match finals if you qualify for them, right?
That extra time on land that extra practice is going to do wonders for those 16s
They do go into match point finals and you can see the reaction of both teams both happy
Even though JDG came out the wrong side of the final fight the fact that they picked up a huge amount of points
that's kind of just makes that I feel a little bit better knowing that you let the final moment slip to your fingers. I think everyone was expecting JDG to play well coming into this tournament. They're starting to find that momentum. And like you say, maybe it's games under the belt here. A new IGL on land for the first time. Things are starting to click. Another team that also was able to pick up a big point was dinos in the end. They've got 10 kills after that initial fight that they joined in where they denied Aurora on their push. They went on to actually finish third place in that game in theory.
that game in theory, just off points alone, just because the amount of KP. Yeah, very,
very impressive stuff from them when it comes to those fights. I love seeing that as well.
I mentioned it at the start of that game. So many teams we see a little bit nervy when it's
their first experience on land, but they were pushing fights and advantages when they presented
themselves. Great stuff coming in from Dynaz to pick up those KP. This is what it looks like at the
end, though. 10 KP alongside the 12 for four fun. Esports meets 22 points on the board,
but JD just behind with 11 kills, they put 20 on the board.
And then of course, some big teams that did not pick up points on the second page as well.
The likes of Aurora that we've already mentioned.
NIP weren't able to put up those points either.
And even though it's just match one, you are already starting to be on the chase now.
You already have that seed of doubt planted in your mind of,
alright, are we going to fall too behind here?
Shopify Rebellion warrior would have put five points on the board, at least through KP.
And I can't stress enough how important it is.
If you do not have a game where you are going to place highly through placements, you need some Kp on the board to just keep these averages high
So you can stay with the rest of the pack
Yeah, a lot of the time is what do you make out of the games where the zone is across the map, right?
We talk about that a lot when zones come in your way you expect to be putting double digits on the board
However, if you have to travel a long long way if you could pick up a team fight or two and you win those
All of a sudden that five six points when we get to the end of a ten game series
20 points. You'll take that every single day for first and second and you can see, like I said, why JDG weren't too disappointed with that second place.
We'll have to see what's going to happen in game at number two in just a few short moments. We'll be back with game two here at the LGS Split on playoffs.
Play is in our DNA.
Whenever we let it out, it becomes our superpower.
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharges.
Kdea City, powered by play.
Gether, I mean, what is it like being back with Phony on the same team?
Yeah, I mean, it definitely reminds me of the SSG days.
Like, our columns back then, you know, like, it may seem like from an outside perspective
that it's hectic and I know it is, especially with like the way our dynamic
worked with Kloy compared to Zap, but like, we went and talked about it.
And I think today, like, no matter what happens, like,
I think we're going to do great.
Like, it's like, there's not too much pressure, you know,
at the end of the day, we're here for Koi now and like,
we're all here to prove something, you know?
How is Koi doing?
Oh, he's doing better.
He won't be playing, but other than that, you know,
we're like, we're hoping he just speedy recovery.
Let me ask you a question.
Did you anticipate getting to this position,
being in survival stage?
Did you guys go, think it would go a little bit smoother?
And if so, kind of what changed and what's changing now
for you in terms of your strategy going into this?
Yeah, I mean, it really sucks.
I mean as we saw that last group we literally won the last game
We were feeling great coming into the next group and not no hate towards phony, but you know at the end of the day
We know we can hate off phony man
We don't have our teammate and you know it does kind of suck, but I mean phony's the gopher being here
I appreciate it and we're just gonna we're just gonna show up, you know like yeah, no
I feel like there's not much pressure. Thank you man phony
I gotta say last time I talked to you you were focused on getting the gluten-free croissant now
You need to win and survival stage its survival day just any comments on what it's like going into this moment again
I mean, I'm not really trust at all.
We've been in the stage too many times.
We're a survival stage, loses bracket.
It's really no pressure for me.
Obviously, it's no pressure for Zinu.
We've been in the same stage before together.
We're just going to like to show up and show out for a point.
That's literally all it is at the end of the day.
I love it, guys.
Well, congratulations on getting here, and good luck today.
I know we're going to be excited.
A lot of people will be rooting for you to succeed.
Phoni, Zinu, Shopify Rebellion, we'll let them get going.
Get ready for survival stage on Survival Day.
Welcome back everybody to the Survivor Stage here at the Apex Legends Global Series, Split
One Playoffs at EWC 2026, where for fun, just took our first game on E-District with some
double digit KP, but you look on the other side, you look at a team who has struggled
on E-District before, go out swinging, floating, from JD Gaming, really made a statement with
some interesting decision making by the very end, which actually allowed for fun to walk
up and get the dub.
Yeah, it was a really interesting end game for sure, but of course you have to be happy
with the double digit kills.
The fact that Floating was able to grab nine kills alone in the first map of E-District,
coming into this series, starting off on E-District is probably not what JD Gaming wanted to do,
or maybe it is, because that is one of the worst performing teams on E-District.
They had 18 total points on the group stage from E-District Loan.
They picked it uptown, 50th pick.
But you're coming out immediately grabbing 20 points, which means you bested your entire
E-District series from the past week in one game.
That's a start I'm talking about.
I mean, it's at the momentum that they need sure to get the dove, they didn't cover into
it.
But when you start off strong like that, as I hear the crowd behind me, the super fans
given them energy. Here in Paris, guys, game number two, we move back over onto E-District.
We say goodbye to Crypto, and if we follow suit with the way that these pick and bans
have really worked out for these different maps here, especially on E-District, it's
probably going to be seen here going away for game number two.
You're 100% accurate in that assumption. See, you're with 18 total picks in our lobby,
alter with a close 17 just behind it. You imagine that these teams are going to be
as you look at where we're kind of starting right Tyler FPS locking in the
Watson they'll have access to those ring consoles but you think about kind of do
they have that at their POI and will they be able to grab that information in
a neighboring area per city hall for them they do have a survey beacon so and a
ring console if I'm not mistaken so they'll know that we are heading right
back down South Street market with WGR Neo is going to feel really nicely as
soon as they see that information that they have offered Virtus Pro yet again
from Viaduct, hitting a quick evac tower and trying to set up shop. Yes, they went out earlier in
map number one, so they need a bit of retribution here, but they set up shop so nicely. And I'm
curious to see which building they're going to look to lock down. They do come off the
caustic and grab wads since there are no cryptos in the lobby, which I think is going to be much
better to hold those buildings. Yeah, it's kind of to deal with the altars too, right? We were
talking about how much space caustic controls and you know, when it comes to having that side by
side with those barrels set down and then having to deal with the EMP sure it
could delete all your hard work but now that crypto is not in the lobby you
bring forth the Watson to deal with all these pesky teleporting alters all up
in your face when it comes to dealing with the void passage and how you're
going to be able to find your positioning and timing to take some of
these fights when it comes to the high to low ground that Street Market provides
obviously since you know how that POI advantage so how that ring console the
survey beacon and with another southern zone and imagine here with teams like
Shopify that have to go all the way out from the north side of where resort is
they're already rotating themselves. Other teams like flat two are now making
their move out of Viaduct. I do believe Wolves e-sports are taking to the skies
yeah right on top of them you can see the pressure already but they're just
gonna be wrapping around them and going in from the southern side of Viaduct
because there is that southern choke rotation that would lead you into market.
They immediately you're right anchor down on the south side now Wolves of
course, coming in as the number one seed from APAC South.
This team are one of the best performers when it comes to E-District.
So the fact that they were not able to lock down a good score in map number one,
starting from Humbert Labs, which has one of the highest average points per game, right?
They were able to achieve it with a 20 seconds pick.
That's what we need, though.
I was looking at it, Vicki, I'm thinking like eight points per game across 10 games should get you there.
So, GFX, we're already about five to 10 points shy of that.
I mean, when you gotta be in the top six,
this is why it's called the survivor stage
and it gets brutal at the start for a lot of our teams
who wanna soak up those points early.
That's why you saw the likes of even JD gaming
coming in swinging.
Dinos who also had a pretty strong start themselves
aside from our game one winners like Forfun,
who once again, had that 10KP, Aurora.
And J-Buddy was gasping right there
and where Aurora was taking a lot of these risky fights
in the middle where these zones were pulling.
Next to question how that's going to work out for them.
You can see the page.
You can see how they're going to be able to rotate now deeper in,
and it's going to be against PXX.
DCG also to their north side, but it's the fight for the info
as there is that ring console right on top of the building.
So curious to see what Aurora do here
across the deep cross gaming, considering it has definitely
been a major underperformance for that team over there, right?
It was a really slow start in the groups.
They went 33, 18, 19 points across the board.
So I'm saying if you're getting 19 points in a six game series
and we got maps one with a zero,
you're gonna have to have an explosive game
to turn it around.
And deep cross gaming,
we got a couple of points on that map.
They are definitely gonna hold this ultimate height
on Aurora well.
So, so crazy to me to see how our heavy hitters
in pro league are struggling out here.
Aurora is still trying to find their footing.
BKG, our former EWC champions too,
finding themselves with nine total points,
looking up at the team right above them in Biaduct,
which is still flat.
They have not moved from this position.
It's going to be hard for me to do so,
considering that NIP are to their self
as well as those esports.
But with the amount of alters here,
this is what you can expect, right?
You have the TP to just reset here,
having to be careful with the way that these teams try
to push onto you with that void passage,
easily being able to be the elevator
to put you up on the high ground.
This is going to be so interesting because I love the pace of our play, right?
The survival stage is all about our smart engagements and making sure that you don't
fall too early.
You saw just yesterday our final matches of the series and stuff.
Everything was so much more amplified.
Teams were going out faster.
And I was thinking, would that start off the same?
Would teams int and take these aggressive pushes that actually don't make sense because
they just feel like they can take it, but NIP, a team that I feel is very momentum-based.
At least they started warming up in that last game of the series to find themselves here.
And all the Nessies, hiding around, please don't fall in there, please don't fall in
there.
Not the Crusher, please.
Not the Crusher.
Is he got a mustache?
Looks like he actually does.
One door.
Bonjour, mon ami.
I love it.
The amount of Nessies here in the arena.
Trying to alleviate the pressure here, but it's a lot with a lot of these teams, too.
on the north side like the E36, we get to see information on the Neon Square,
Neon who will be trailing up behind them. And we're still against DCG, but it's a
huge pile up over by Viaduct. We're flat on holding the ground, King of the Hill,
VK Gaming still playing up that low ground here, as the exhibit is called in. A knock
from the low ground here, Dixielos is holding the high ground for the rest of VP,
Prestus now falling up and with a quick clean up at that. Pinot can not run away,
Go look with that as TIE is the first team out of this lobby for game number two
And this is a great fight for VP in particular because we know where they start on that south side
And they immediately want to take some of those pressures off their location
They are in the center of zone in particular right now, but just in mouth number one alone
They had so many teams that were fighting for their building as we pull up the map
You can see they are just below for fun in dinos, which honestly, I wouldn't really want to be set up that close to dinos
They are actually, honestly, I said they were planned like ranked in Matthews.
They were just pushing everything.
They were incredibly confident with their fights, which you have to be in survival.
But look up on the screen toward the top right side of things.
Gen G Esports are coming out of Galleria.
And they dig at access to that survey.
Beacon likely saw Zipline Mafia and Shopify Rebellion as their carving through Energy Bank.
It's a rather open POI that you don't want to find yourself in, especially too long,
because so many people are running long bows.
30, 30, those triple takes, they're hurting.
But Neo looking for some points.
You can expect it too when it comes to a map like P-District.
Going to be the triple take, the hemlock in hand, and unfortunately Neil losing out on the Valkyrie.
There was two teams rocking out on the Valkyrie, you see the wrecking ball now.
DJ, who has been popping off five total KP off that first game alone,
still sticking to the Ultra, dropping down as Chaos is going to be able to get the follow-up now.
Only one left for Neil.
If they could stay alive here, Jaxill was going to be able to try to run away, being able to see her himself.
But Dino, you mentioned it earlier, too.
This team was on a rampage for game number one.
They themselves, they may have not gotten the placement points, but they still got the double-digit KP, the way that they opened up the game for E-District.
I mean, 16 points to strong start, considering in one of their entire group series of six games, it was 24 points, and 20, respectively.
So we're already putting ourselves that much further ahead in a 10-game series.
I told you they're being aggressive, and they're came in feeling confident.
A team that needs to do that is on your screen, Etter Force 36.
Hailing from A-Pac North, they've been fighting a little disjointed lately,
and with Obley joining them back in March after their strong performance and champs,
we know Synap is the IGL there, but I fear with Obley kind of counter-calling,
maybe we're hesitating just a bit too much on starting those fights.
Having to clean that up, hopefully, especially when we're going to be saying goodbye
to our 7th, 20th place teams at the end of the day over the course of these 10 games,
nine left to go, Shopify Rebellion. Got to hear a little bit from Zynu and Tony.
Love getting their thoughts, thanks to Reindeig, and before they start rotating together, they
are isolated for the meantime coming out of the north side.
They will eventually rotate into Kino Trope if they commit going through the choke that
leads into draft point, but if they do want to clear their backs, seems like Gen.G, Zip
one.
As Aurora do have, that void nexus out just in case.
They're playing on the edge of zone.
They're looking to their backs to ensure that PXX do not wrap on that.
And I'm immediately looking to the all-tier players on our teams because with everything ending towards street market
You're gonna have a lot of these like covered small areas that teams are gonna set up with with their watsons
Right and those portal plays are going to have to be so massive to open it up
You're going to have to destroy the pylon and then lay siege with nades especially with crypto being out of the lobby
So I love where Aurora is on that outside
You will need to defend and with PXX starting to kind of lay some ground get some information on what their setup looks like
We have to be hyper aware and you see he are but immediately calling that out
It's kind of like the rock versus is too because while Roars looking to their backs essentially PX is they're doing something similar
Because a rotate from by a dog could come out of wolves and then they could collapse on PXX
And that could be a 3p opportunity for a word to clear their backs as long as the southern side of this zone is clear
We'll be able to have a way easier rotate
But it also depends on how that don't pull is because you've seen these market zones pull kind of closer to
two DP by the hilltop as Gen.D.
And some trouble still stuck outside of zone
because it was a Shopify rebellion
who were looking to their backs.
And Gen.D. are gonna have to take their time.
At least they have the medkits ready.
And of course with the altars too,
it provides an easier rotation.
We just saw it right there from Shopify.
They're moving now up, avoiding Kino Choke from that choke.
And the fact that there are no teams
waiting for them on the outskirts of market
on this rotate is great for them.
The only thing I'm worried about with them
They do not have an executive as I why can't I even say exhibit see your man the things that you do to me
They don't have an exhibit available for their next fight in that circle, right?
Oh, that's silence. He did it gets me every time but for real though
At least they do have two charges on the seer attack there Gen G e-sports likely just gonna pop some information up in neon square before
They decide which area feels rather safe to go do it
Why is my intrusive thoughts wanting?
favorite shot
Because we've been seeing so much of that action man. It's been crazy. I mean imagine with the way that floating is also playing
I don't know what he was cooking with the way he was trying to take his thinking and it was it works a lot
It works the way he plays aggressively. It's beautiful. I mean, that's what you need for mentally. Thank you. Well, here's the deal guys
I'm having trouble speaking so let's get into a JDG gaming listen in
Skip all man
We have the third party for like this, bro. I'll take me back. I'll take me back. I think it's just all in
All right, can we try three two one a team? Yeah, wait, we're gonna peak together. I'm gonna keep the bridge first. No
Yeah, bridge ready?
Yeah, this one
Come here, peeking, peeking. Ready? Peaks this building on the left. Walk, peeking. I have a crate, bro. Okay, let me shoot first
Ready? On the roof. I'm starting it peeking. It's on me. Ready?
Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
Sliding up those. He's anchoring. He is, he is.
It's fine, it's fine. Just your fun.
Yep, all clear.
Okay, I got David. Hold on.
Hold on!
I know, I know.
Also on!
I just had it, though.
I got one.
There, there, there.
Oh my G! JD gaming going down! I let the way that Naughty try to calm that to 3-2-1.
But all for naught when they tried to engage in a fight that the other team was waiting
on the other side. Gen.G capitalized after being stuck in the zone for so long!
Have now wrapped on two of our teams. JDG out, Shopify rebelling to meet their doom back into
to the lobby and Gen G have come from the north side,
okay, gaining though, inching in from the other side
of the joke that would neighbor Gen G,
but a lot of these teams, if you see where the zone
is pulling Tiff, he's going to be pulling towards RRQ.
Look, RRQ have been so good at calling these zones,
especially with them being the best team
on E-District in this lobby,
with 50% of their points coming from E-District alone.
Nio though, the majority of theirs from flights,
and they have looked scary, but ninjas and pajamas
After they heated up, decided to do enough to push them back away.
They say you cannot rotate through this.
39 seconds though, and still three teams on this side, and a long way to go.
So exhibit is down, and PXX are about to take you through.
Matt Maggi ball going crazy in two.
Holy solo, Ninjas with the job, let's get up, we've got to hold on.
It's like they're inking themselves, Matt.
Like you literally can't even, oh, no, I literally saw him.
I'm so low.
I was actually permitted to try to pull out.
I got it literally by a corner and then oh my gosh actually was not beating from that when he tried to delay the tactical there
Off the void passage. I mean this is a huge mess B. I text do get eliminated and I pee now down to a duel
We're further going down, but the fight's not over yet. Can't take around the shield with the way
His only needs as looks are the next to go down and you get the deck box as this is nice for
NIP zip or within the vicinity though, but for now they have some rest right to get this reset
That was
Insane the collapse just a few seconds on the board the ring will be at their back as they full send to the most populated side of
This circle and you know who's there?
BK gaming double digit points for them a lot of teams over on this side need a
Their points from either straight because this is where they find them enter force 36 BK gaming
Ninjas and Pujamas do actually slide through into that next side of the circle, but wow, we see where they go to the top of Zipline Mafia
They've chosen
Maddie's pile-ups. Yeah, this is going to be at least
33 clean up here. VKG now move up at E3
Looking down at VKG we're trying to rotate you see the Watson fences painting the floor blocking them off
That's case up with the maid and he 36 though get eliminated things to that maid, but they're feeling so much pressure
I mean dude look at this tactical after tactical you literally can't catch up break
This is why scenery bands after this game just so many
Scans you have to slow down you can't catch up break
Now get eliminated
There's so many people are looking to get involved in this and for fun to hold that farther northern most censored
And NIP through the portal throw the focus of attention out. We have so much loose the shield pops coal take it out by the frag
So it's a hero up here. I tried to stay alive after he finally just comes back
And now the rest of ninjas get deleted in 13 12 squads left and look at the way for fun is playing
They're looking to keep up this momentum
But they gotta deal with dino and jay future swinging that by himself by the way could have been the demise who's the net now going down
It's only up to DJ from dynos. Can they try to get this? It was one field. Where are you going?
What? What? What? No, he's doing that in space. What are we doing? What are we doing?
We're gonna have to talk about that one later, because that was a little bit of a breakdown.
For WGR Neo, they will take every point they can get, especially like that.
Rotating towards the north side, their biggest area is going to be that team RRQ holding that zone.
Gen G on the other hand, Vicky, we've got a fight against Kena Trope.
I can't believe I mean listen you know what sometimes we all go through when we're feeling
the pressure get a little nervous sometimes but committing to going through that void nexus is
definitely a choice. Too many chefs in the kitchen the food is absolutely burnt as we now have stayed
underground for quite some time I've moved up from the under part off street market.
Nades for days though they're dancing like they're in the circus effect now back in the way
and they're also scanned by the way off the seer attack thankfully being one of the also teams
It's the alley-oop to go up on the high ground.
Give me the amazing neighbor.
A lot of these other teams.
Because look at this pile up right now.
It's it.
You got VP.
You got Aurora.
You got GK as well as RRQ.
It's going to be a bloodbath over to the south side.
Zip fight to add.
As Aurora falls, can't clip it out.
Only one left.
As Yarka is trying to get this reset.
I said it comes down to the altars,
the importance of the entry fights.
And when you're the last one standing,
the IGL Yarka is going to have to figure out
We get Boydrain back up on his feet, and we throw it down, which is behind enemy lines!
For VP, they're just looking to close out Aurora!
Presses does fall, but Ozu and Taskmaster are so healthy here.
That wasn't a serious matter of time, but Aurora do get eliminated eventually.
They ring around the Rosie, around the Void Passage, even trying to cover their back with a Nade originally before.
With 8 squads left though, this is where you can expect VP now.
Looking again to try to dress up as well as DCG who are just trying to avoid this drill.
Glory unfortunately goes down, is hiding behind the desk.
Try to see if we can get the two for one, at least he tries to get the reset here from the rest of his team.
If okay and see, they hear all the action happening above their heads and they're not looking to get involved.
They're looking to take this slowly from underneath the market.
And it's WGR Neo that has that mad Maggie on their team.
So if you're getting a riot drilled, it is totally them.
The Valks gave them a nice little rotation for now, but for Flak, DCG, and Kena Trope.
They are on a side where there are so many teams that you have to anchor it.
So bringing out the Newcastle, bringing out the Ghibbi for that extra coverage,
is going to allow them to hold on if we time everything right once we pull out of these little crannies.
Well, my fan dies in the arena. The competition's getting even hotter.
Imagine how our players feel while we get to see this side by side.
Neo, who had then slowed down and being able to get this replay, I mean, he's literally
staring a tiny bit of that laugh.
Yeah, that was tough.
I mean, what can you do?
But that was an earlier situation.
We had seen eight squads left, KFC, remember, we mentioned, Neo, we're going to try to show
face just yet.
They're taking this flow as the now following closes behind their backs.
Look at the way that RQ make this move, though, with striking flame being on the rave.
He's going to be able to try to get the climb up here.
There is another team right above them, but it's really important with Pricy being able
to get that knock.
get to fully extend on this even with the stirrup behind them no they're getting
stared at with the other team on the cross the way flat and everyone just
immediately like nah I don't think we're getting away with that not through the
portal behind VP the RE45 does enough damage we go for a clean reset and we
have to move with our cue to the other side Vicky it's about to be so excited
look how important drops it is he gets all the information look at the beamage
Up the RE45, the gold extended energy pack here.
They know where everybody is. Last four squads left.
Bernice Pro has been eliminated and now Ketitrope.
Can they defend?
And bubble it down. The wall is there and Nock doesn't even care.
Firing through the wall, zipline mafia are down. Will Ketitrope follow?
And a year with our last two squads though, to be DCG vs. DK now
with Nock being so low, Keon going down.
The rain was his demise.
They take the portal, last quote, 6K beats for Trump, it's three ball, get the clutch and the win.
The melee coming through to secure the dug.
Deep cross gaming. What a stellar performance.
The fact they hold on to that.
At that point you're diving into electrified Ghibli bubbles.
You're trying to get behind these new castle walls and honestly
GK trying to get to Kina trouble left them slightly exposed where deep cross gaming could just focus on
targeting them
Honestly though the way that job played that it was insane
It was a fortune with the way that the ultra borders were placed the void passage causing so much disruption
Disruption especially with the ring being on that angle against the staircase to sure you're fragging out
You have the information from the exhibit that you put down
You have the nades
But the way that DCG had played that to the very end the baby hit the nail in the coffin and then also the ring
What we had seen at the very end even better way to just kick start the way that DCG have now taken this dump tip
Honestly, I'm also very impressed with
GKE Sports, 9 kills, so many points there in the double digits, but not only that, they
got second place in map number two, but fifth place in match number one.
We ask our teams for consistency, especially in this survival stage.
As we pull up the match results, you can see it just there.
With the fact that we got 9 kills, we actually outpoint our team that won at the top with
deep cross gaming at 17 points.
Pina Tro, find 9 points, which is above that average that I'm talking about.
I want to see north of eight points per game in this series.
If you want to fight out for top six,
Virtus.Pro grab 11 points.
And as we jump to the back half,
Dinos, after that fight, they still walked away with five KPs.
So they got six points.
Any little bit counts here in this overall series too,
especially when we have 10 games played out.
One more, by the way, on E district
before we swap over to Olympus,
because we got all the maps in rotation,
which is important when we take a look
at some of these highlights.
We talked about UK and what they were able to do.
We talk about the exhibit here, but in this end,
this was the most important part to it.
You saw with the re-closing in,
look at that, the Watson fences, you go through the TP,
you can't survive, the melee at the very end
is more than enough to secure that for DCG
because they were just in a way better position, honestly,
when he comes in, coming in from the high ground, sure,
but they also were inching forward
behind the knockdown shield too.
Yeah, not only that, they definitely had a player
that had dropped down to the low ground,
you saw them kind of portal through,
so they approached it from multiple angles,
and that was pretty smart, right?
Yes, you only had like one tick
on your armor left and relatively 75% on the health.
But at that point, the circle had gotten so small
that you're right, which is even like a melee punch,
you're finishing blowing them at that point.
So I'm okay with the way that one went down,
but we got one more map on E-District.
We do, and DCG even like recapping their performance,
I love the little motions in that scene,
just recapping their performance on map number one.
They at least got four KP.
Can they do it again now after taking the dump
in game number two?
And as Tiff said, we got one more game on E-District,
And that's coming to you on the other side of this break.
All right, it is time to break down a little bit of green room on stage what we've been
seeing watching in the back with snipe down and snipe.
We have these conversations after a couple of games for funny sports have gotten up there.
We just saw GKE Sports have a major game as well to go up front with them.
How are we feeling after two?
Yeah, I mean, feeling really good.
I think it's awesome to see some of these teams.
GKE has actually struggled a little bit throughout their more of a placement team.
They really low damage usually, but I was talking to Drops before this tournament started
or actually earlier today.
And he was just mentioning how that's their biggest thing is they need to fight a way
to get more initial damage.
And honestly, I'm very proud of how they did that.
We saw how dominant they looked.
And I think that they had a really good team talk.
They're not, they don't want to rely just on space.
as much, but dropped one of the most prolific.
IGL has been in almost every single grand final,
so for him, he knows what it takes to come out and perform,
and it's really good to see them start off this draw.
I was just reminiscing with Drop Dad.
I actually doubted down there in the stands,
and we were talking about how he got that second place,
and really the game that would have won it
for Optic in that tournament.
Sweet, believe it or not,
NRG Sweet or LG Sweet at that time
ended up pulling off some Hurroats
to stall that tournament out.
And it was TSM that ended up ultimately winning,
So it was a moment that could have been dropped.
Now, maybe this is the moment that dropped his trophy.
But talking also about what has gone really well
for these other regions, DCG, Red Love,
the fact that they were regional finals
and they just got that big win,
that is huge for Apex South.
Yeah, I mean, Apex South has been one of the best regions
in general, which is so much talent come from them.
And just, you know, they did win their regional finals.
So they have the ability to win these lobbies
with 10 games to go.
It's really good for them to start off strong
because they have been a really slow team so far
throughout this event and getting that win
under their belt this early in game two,
it's a lot of positivity.
I'm sure they have a lot that they learned from that
to carry forward.
Aurora at the bottom, is it too early to start scrambling,
struggling, feeling a little worried
or so much game left to play?
Yeah, I mean, I think we saw them come out
and you could tell they wanted to just drop
a massive game with how aggressive they were
and it just, it didn't work out.
And I feel like they need to understand
if they committed too hard.
It's like that was their plan,
there was no backup plan.
I think that for them, they need to figure out a way to have multiple play cells other
than just we need to go out there and slay.
We saw them get a little more points with some zone gameplay there, but it's still not enough
right now.
Thanks, Tybalt.
The thoughts happening in the green room.
We'd like to bring them to you fresh and live, but we've got more games to go.
10 today.
14 teams going home.
Let's get back to the action with Consec and Gatsby.
Thank you very much, gentlemen.
We are ready to get into match number three very, very soon.
The final time we'll see you.
a little bit before we start
changing things up here. Danny G
and DCG with the win in the game
number two, making this one a little bit more juicy
as moving forward. It does indeed. I think they should
be delighted to put those points on the board.
I think you are alluding to it after match one.
One win is not enough.
You have to be consistent and you have to start
putting these points on the board. Even if you're not
winning, you need to be getting minimum
six per game really to be able to
keep up with everyone. And then hopefully
you have that big win alongside
I think the teams were landing on the north side of the district will be hoping maybe the zone is going to start coming their way
We did see a city Hall zone yesterday
But a lot of the zones have gone down to the south another one there Dan down by street market
You got a wonder if that went into the POI draft. I'm gonna say if I'm looking at the consistencies
I've seen POI draft. I'm just going well. We just seem to get out south here in either streets
I've got to pick something this other side you want a northern zone denied no northern zone for you
it has been crazy to see the repeat zone so far, but you know with the percentages of it surely we go a little bit further north now
Right, that's exactly what's going to happen
So those northern teams will finally be rewarded perhaps we will see pxx get more points on the board over towards neon
They haven't really been able to capitalize from there as much as they would like to
Well, we see the likes of nip finally find a few more points on the board as well there at the moment
They are intent that would not be good enough and as we were hearing from the stage
the tournament. They have not
been able to find those early
engagements. They've been
looking to remind everyone who's
watching and also watching at
home. Nice and comfortable. Top
six. Will stay in the tournament
and advanced as match point
finals. Everybody has to have to
I don't like Nessie being that
close to that thing. I'm going to
have to say I don't want to
really know what makes Nessen
taste like it. I have to take
I don't want to know. I don't
experience that. I want to be
safe. See some more sites of
Paris. Do not crush. Nessie.
Please, Barney banks. I know that
you are usually the one to press
the button. So hopefully Nessie
shall be safe. But yes, as you
were mentioning much sorry before
I rudely interrupted you. 60s
will progress here from this
survival stage. Everyone else
that be going home and their
keys will get crushed. Looks like
a little bit of Wolves e-sports as well.
They lost a difficult fight against NIP in that previous game.
NIP, I think it was 2v3, they managed to turn around.
After Wolves got the initial advantage.
And as we head in towards e-district for the final time,
for quite some time, before we start changing the map up,
it's the last chance of your e-district team
to get those points on the board.
Here we go then.
Match number three is live.
We're about to jump back in.
Look at DCG, get another one on the board.
will UK be able to push themselves one step further after approaching not quite getting
that first place. But technically with the points they gathered, they still did win it
out. Now as we look over across the map as well, remember we lost Sia after a 90% pick
rate of Sia in the previous or now booked towards the likes of Mad Maggie being heavily
favored here and I'm expecting a Maggie back. But there is also a chance for a Watson one.
We have seen that a couple of times. Let's see if baby can't win the previous game as
Well, which to me was a big surprise considering that we see a safe ban
You wouldn't want to be a bow calling up into the skies and landing into 17 different CQs
You're not gonna have a very good time. No bubble. No cue on the new castle
It's it not but it's doesn't matter because we're moving ahead down by the way
Something to highlight here down a lot of Ulta and Maggie a lot of Watson a lot of consistencies in the composition was here
Yeah, it's 19 maggies 18 Watson
So Maggie will be banned going into the next probably a good news for those who want to run Watson going into a lip-bats
you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I
was going to the north. I got
over excited. We're going to
the north, everyone. We are
going up north. Great news for
kind of trip. You mentioned
him before. They were playing
that baby comp. Actually, maybe
it's bad news for kind of
trip. I don't know. They were
playing that baby comp in a
method. They probably shouldn't
have during match two, and they
are going to stick with the
going into match three here, but
we are going up north, so they
won't have to go too far with
said balcony, but of course, they
will have that new castle to
to be the best team in the
world. I think it's going to
be the best team in the world.
The ultimate. Yeah, don't have
to worry about sear in this game
as well, which is certainly.
Leans into some of the strengths
that the baby comp does offer
a lot of teams already moving up
to the north towards electrode
down. You've got JD gaming, GKE
sports, Gen G and forced 36. You
can read the names. Let's take
a look at what's happening
elsewhere. Those teams trying to
rotate their way in at the moment.
One of the money screen is going
transition from point A to point B. It really was interesting when Ulta came out. Everyone
was jumping onto different maps trying to find out just where the boy passage could
get you. And also where you probably shouldn't be able to get as well. There's an engagement
here. Gen EG are going to be able to drag floating back. Gen G have lost too. They should
be able to just about reset on these stairs. It's E36 putting out a lot of the damage.
You're going to be forced to get that gen down. Gen G's gen is feeling safe. This is
a little bit of a risky spot to play. See, E36 is going to try and push this thing.
Notice the text that he's still down, and with Maggie in the lobby as well, you do not want to be in a staircase
if someone throws a recubule your way.
The E36 trying to capitalize on the damage that was already done by JDG here as GenG
cannot catch a break, but I love this aggression from Asia. You have to force them back.
You can't just sit there and take the damage.
Back over to EKG. This is happening just outside of Galleria. TIE is just behind them as well,
find them as well as you can see on the screen, split by a big divide, the big wall that kind
of surrounds Galleria.
Alexey points on the board after two games with DKG, not the worst of starts for them.
A Boche in the hands of Kassahit, shows that they try to move pretty quickly for the PLI.
Can you get peppered again by the way? Look at the kill feed knocked from distance this time of the sentinel.
That staircase is a little bit shaky for them.
You know, you're going to be
the next. It's like the
high up. So few teams were
making very wide rotations
ninjas and pajamas being one
of them on the eastern side of
the moment expect them to be
very late. You also might see
shopper firebellion and PXX
fight shortly, but finally,
Gen G will be taken from the
stairs. There is a combination
of JDG and 36 in the end. They
just didn't allow them to
escape. It didn't matter if
It's a tough one.
Scrims at work, but when everyone is in the zone,
it becomes a little bit more awkward.
E36 up on this high ground, by the way.
They're going to be safe for so, so long,
such an advantageous position to have
with these northern electro-down zones.
And you can see exactly why.
It's so difficult to challenge any team that's up on height,
and I've just realized that Jocena has a three times on a charge rifle.
So anyone who's going to be arriving late
is going to be singed, he's going to be burnt.
More than likely going to be on their backs.
is a Roura though, so this is a tricky rotation for VP.
I feel like Galleria is a little bit of a honey trap at the moment for a lot of teams as well,
considering that you've got a ring console and a survey beacon there.
So as well as the fact that teams are going to be rotating to the north,
you have those little sweet treats down to try and hit to level up the universe to get the information.
Over towards the zone, you can see K&C have found a corner to play in.
The baby comps worked out for them here, slatting below.
A lot of the teams on the bridge, GK being one of them.
that. It's not going to be
coming up as quick as it could.
Also only the blue armor, so one
defensive bombardment to use. It
is bizarre how. These proteins
are so happy to take corners
like this and just be on under
constant stress. It's very
difficult to hold those kind of
spots. You have to rely on
those abilities from your
legends to make sure that you
could always be having the
Some spots are very playable late game, early game, not so much.
That place that we just saw, very playable late game, but very difficult early game.
Because there's so many teams looking at you, so many lines of sight.
You've got to wait until they become lines of sight that don't exist later in that game.
GK being aggressive, that was definitely just from heights with the charge rifle.
And Nox is going to be brought back to his feet here, you can see Keanu sticking that.
JGG looking to clean up the final pieces here of can see it's a little bit of a portal dance a portal pie and naughty wants to be invited
I think this was my point initially with Kenneth rope
Playing on this baby cop and their zone coming towards them is they are forced to really use the new castle and the Gibby
Because that is a very interesting playing position. I will say with ease up that is
Far more flexible man than I ever will be
They're going to be eliminated.
Nio able to get those kills in their favor, but are you going to be able to get the res?
That's the real question.
Kinnatron has just been eliminated in the meantime, so the solo wasn't able to survive there.
And like you say, it's one thing to survive, but Zipline and Mafia are chasing them down.
Zipline who were in sixth place at the moment after their impressive game one,
game two was a little bit more lackluster.
to get to the match point
finals. Actually both. Supply
mafia featuring here and T I E
when you talk about regional
finals and the success story is
to be able to find yourself here
at E W C. Both teams who we
know when their backs are
against them all, they can find
those moments. Just going to
focus in on ninjas and pajamas
on the right side of the screen
here. You can see that they've
had a little bit of a more
distance to travel to get to
this zone. So they're just
taking a little bit of a wider
to find out where the zone is going to be pulling.
Sometimes doing that just gives you a little bit of a heads up
on the rest of the lobby to see what side of the zone
is going to be best to fight for or play for.
They can also, of course, hit the survey
because they should be up to purples at least
when they do get to fight.
VP looking to do something similar here
when it comes to ring console, just over at Vibe Isle.
And Nioh are still alive here.
You can see they're just moving towards energy bank.
The solo player who is still alive
but might be about to run into Real of DCG,
who are going to be feeling all kinds of confident
after the win in the last game.
It's quite funny seeing his arrow on the map. Just do a quick 180 as soon as he noticed DCG.
As we can look back at just how unfortunate Kinetrope were with the teams that had eyes
on them. Everything that was available to use was said to make sure that Kinetrope could
not stay alive. A difficult position to hold early on in the baby comp. Not really being
of use so far in these early games, but perhaps later Kinetrope will be able to reap the
benefits. It's one of those where there's just too many counters in the lobby for it.
Seer being a big one and you've just seen the perfect example of why it's difficult
to run it in a Maggyfield lobby because you can just get drilled behind those shields.
You can get Maggyballed as well. It's just very difficult to survive and to hunker down
with the amount of offensive abilities that are still available in the compositions you're
going up against. Aurora then. Let's take a look at them. I need 25 evo here for Warran
to get keyspool perks available and having to play quite far away from where the zone
is going to be pulling out electro down.
Shufflefire Rebellion find themselves in a flight here with DCG, they're playing for
the Mythic Bin which is spotting right next to them.
Yeah, DCG are not in a position to stop them getting this Mythic Bin either.
For Shufflefire Rebellion, I mean, they want to do it 4x4, I'm sure, it adds that extra
little bit of willpower to you before phony you kind of playing with house
money right you're playing for free but at the same time you want to be able to
get it done
this is not too much pressure but it's a different kind of pressure isn't it
it's applied to yeah a hundred percent I think that just by rebellion fans will
be recreating the Simpsons at least the simpsons do it for her with pictures of
on it. They can help from home.
Chopfire Rebellion got a lot of pressure on their shoulders.
One thing that Zynu is going to have to do is
lead the troops. Having finally, of course, an ideal himself
alongside, he's going to be able to give some input.
Look at where the zone is going. It looks like it's going to watch
GKE Sports right on the north-western tip of where the
zone is falling. 55 seconds on the zone close.
There's a few pyjamas on your screen right now.
They did play for fights. They played for all that information.
They weren't actually able to get up with their parking
two purple armors, and then I'm going to have all the perks available.
So this is going to have to be brute forcing it from them,
and Kurev is going to have to port back here and think about the next move.
Oh, RRQ there and waiting, maybe.
Draping Flame certainly saw the Void Nexus,
but they are not in a position and they actually just fear themselves.
NIP do have an evac tower to work with if they'd like to go up into the sky.
Because they do not have a Valkyrie, of course.
That's probably just having a little swing behind here
to see if they could be a frustrating force to deal with.
Great shots coming in from the flat line.
Prestige still showing that that thinking kicks.
Now they're trying to ping where the next play is.
They're trying to find that little corner inside a gallery.
Now, Nioh, Ninjas in pyjamas.
This fight is taking place, and Vayne is not looking healthy.
Gets the med kit off.
He's getting the help from his teammates here.
The worry here for both teams is that RRQ are looking at this
to third party. So Nioh, if they want to take this fight and Ninja Zipajamas get taken down,
there might be a third party, but this might be clean enough for them to actually reset,
but no, Vane makes this difficult now. So 1v2, but where are Q? Do they want to try and
force this? They are safe in zone. It looks like Ninja Zipajamas are going to get a reset
here. I don't think NIP wanted to take this fight at all. And Nioh, they kind of forced
They got aggressive and NiP make them pay as Neo are going to be down to just a two as well
So neither team either able to benefit from that. RRQ have actually focused a little bit more towards Neo
Because it's from Vayne. Patience waiting for Colt to join alongside him and then all of a sudden they can come by
But no! Ninjas and pajamas are eliminated. Neo were eliminated a few seconds ago. VP gets sandwiched
And it's Shopify Rebellion who come out the victors here, but now they've got to deal with Rudolph DCG
They're below them now inside a Galleria
It's not quite a straight 3v3 because our IQ are close enough they could get involved if they want to
They are certainly hovering at the moment just waiting
But if it takes too long if there isn't enough gunfire
I'm sure our few who just start to think about zone a little bit more that they might just meet at the choke point past Galleria
Which is going to get quite ugly because on the other side of it
You've also got VK gaming and for fun that are currently taking a 3v3 battle against each other as well
Here it is
QQ he's got Lestar and his hands. Skynade's gonna hurt though
That's the backup to his teammates thinking about hitting the void nexus to get out of there
And that's exactly what they're gonna do. The problem is on the other side of that void nexus. There's a team waiting
GKE sports has just been eliminated. They were in the prime spot in Zyron and this is what I was worried about for VKG
Shopify were sitting on that portal, waiting for that opportunity.
That is free, but SR.
One member of VKG did escape into zone.
And at the moment, the one team who was actually in center zone is TIE.
Again, this time, can they hold on to it?
Remember in game one, they weren't able to hold on to it.
They got pushed and lost that engagement.
Shopify Rebellion's starting to move with a little bit more confidence now.
It's for fun. That could be their next target.
They're gonna pinch down this low ground.
Even though the drill's coming in, only it's so healthy, the chin is a problem though, so those nades aren't going to be able to flush him out.
And with the zone closing in 40 seconds, proper fight, if they win this, might have a walk-in.
Well fun though, hidden for now, but they could avoid Nexus 2 if they want to get aggressive,
but instead Zidus make the play call to play this corner, where they will be safe.
Dino's getting eliminated, it's Zipline, Matthew are able to win out on that one, but they're a little bit worried about TIE below them.
No, Shopify Rebellion will push in onto 4-5, and they've been able to get a couple of knocks.
Oh, the difficulty here is there's a lot of teams surrounding them.
Zap gets shot in the back, and shot in the side.
And Zyner now left-footed Zyne 4-5.
Zyner just won, it's a 1v1 between the two.
But I don't know if this time really, for either to survive...
Excuse me, Sinetic did get away, so it's a 1v2.
Shopify Rebellion can't make that happen.
And now Sinetic, only a couple of health points to play with.
Man, it's just a scar for a white.
And DCG will rip this away from them,
and it's incredible patience, really, for DCG.
They've been dominating since that early fight in Galleria,
biding their time, and waiting to just pick apart teams
who have already taken damage, as JDG will also go down.
And now the entire eastern side is covered by RRQ.
Ty are starting to move out a little bit.
As we check in with BXX, they are in a little bit of trouble.
Both TIE and Aurora and ENTERFORCE 36 are all looking towards them and this is what happens when three teams start to focus you.
Yeah, you can imagine you're in this corner but it's just going to delay the inevitable here for PXX.
XZZ, that might be ZZZ. If he's going to sleep in a few seconds time, he's got PXXR eliminated, six squads remaining.
JDG being eliminated a few moments ago though, continuing the momentum, a decent placement for them after game number one and two.
The VK Gaming will be next out of the lobby. And who is standing tall here? Inside of the top five, it's Aurora.
And boy, now they need it. They need something to give them a little bit of a confidence booster here.
They're up into ninth place as they stand right now.
They do have kills alongside the placements they've already found in this game.
It's the first time they've really been awake here in this series.
Can we see the incredible IGL skills and history from Hayaka?
He's been able to put them in a good position at the moment, but enter 4-36, there's certainly going to be a concern.
Or a lead. Real of DCG are trying to move somewhere where they will be safe.
They still aren't safe and they've lost two on the cross.
So Roy into the top five.
He's going to try and start a barbecue, but he finds out that he's the meat of the grill.
Takes down one, but RRQ will wipe them.
Orora now move up onto the bridge position. They will be safe. They've got some fexes down, they've got a gem down as well.
Which is going to help them to get those maggies in the lobby.
I think actually, DIE hold the most space in the moment on the eastern side.
The trouble is this is all about elevation.
There are so many different points you can hold here on the bridges that are above.
And with the amount of altars still left, there's always that potential you can void passage through and get involved in a fight.
get involved in a fight. RRQ down to a 2. Do you have a wraith to work with though?
And then 4 Wattsons. I think we lose price here. I wonder if they're going to be able to go for
box res here, or if it's going to be TG in zone 4 for them to do so. E36, by the way,
showing exactly what we were talking about earlier, how a spot becomes playable late game
that isn't playable early game. They are playing almost the exact same position we saw the baby
cop struggling to survive here, and they're making it work. I think RRQ did go back into zone to get
that banner. Question is do they have a mobile respawn beacon? I think we're going to find out
very quickly to see whether they're going to get a third buff on the map, otherwise they're
going to have to try and do this as a two. Looks like right now it is just a duo situation for
RRQ and they are in heavily focused on the height. Aurora there are making their life very difficult.
He's about to take damage as his effect down to 1 HP.
Straight through the flame trying to threat Danita with this RE45 as E36.
I'm going to be very happy to see that TIE are helping him out with Aurora.
That biggest threat that's above them. Effect is down and he is dead.
Good luck again from TIE though. They push up, they get aggressive.
And they've already removed one Aurora now.
Look like they're gonna struggle with this one. It's just down to a rain. You see E36 take the opportunity now to point passage up using the
Altitude hold on to get involved in this fight, and that forces TIE back. Oroku now watching all of this at the end
This is our chance to strike. Suddenly this is a two versus two versus no. There is not one full team right now
Back to the low ground E36
Should be able to get a reset
RRQ, oh the base ball back to the back of the head, it's good of hard, that's TIE gone.
Roy trying to get a full res as well, dropping down the Mobi, seeing if maybe Effect can
get back into the map for E36 and RRQ, perhaps they're not going to allow this.
It's E36 to have the most in terms of big players up here.
RRQ a play for second, they get second and now it's a 2v3, E36 versus RRQ, shields what,
maybe for Strafing Flamie, he gets it.
It becomes interesting, but Strafing Flamie takes damage.
See that now.
Look at the peak of the R9.
It's all about timing the swing here for 836.
One player remaining, easy flash, down whip.
836 will win here.
836 put their first win of the tournament on the ball.
No excessive reaction, no pop-off, the pure focus.
Typical oddly.
So, a peak moment for Enter, 4th, 36th.
The fans are loving that.
And another winner.
A different winner across the three games that we've had so far.
That's what you can expect here today in this survival stage.
I mean, we love DCG currently
enjoyed first yesterday. They
finished dead last in the
qualification spots to get here
into this survival stage. So
they have the worst PY draft that
you could have had in terms of
selection process. That's how
you become a fan of Apex Legends.
By the way, you just pick every
team and then if someone wins,
hey, you're happy. We love to
see that support all of the teams
that we have here in attendance
in Paris and everyone putting on
a show so far. I mean, three
I mean, three games in already.
And I know it's a marathon today with 10 games.
It feels like it's going past really, really quickly here.
And no real clear front runners as well.
The points are being quite evenly shared between teams,
just to give you an idea.
GK Esports and Relove DCG are in joint first at 31.
For fun at 28, JDG at 28 as well.
And then you drop off a little bit to RRQ and Zipline Mafia
at 22 and then enter 4-6 from just one.
are at 21 points as well.
Even those teams who were down in the bottom,
Wolves eSports, for example,
they are only 26 points away from first.
Now, Barney is down on the stage with an interview.
Let's check out who he's got.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are here on the main stage
with the main man floating from JDG.
Floating, we've got to talk first and foremost
about that game one scenario.
It was so close at the very end.
You guys, it seemed like you went from more of a creative angle.
It didn't pan out. Talk us through what happened at the end of game one from your perspective.
From my perspective, I cracked the clip that I was close.
And then I told Naoi to swing it.
He didn't get the nod, and then should be got double swung, and I almost won it, but I just, like, did him my chance at the end.
I mean, at the end of the day, you've got to go for those chances, and sometimes it pans out, sometimes it doesn't.
But let's talk about you as a player, my man. You've got this...
You're having this, like, breakout year.
We're getting a lot of attention.
You've got these huge pop-off moments that you're having.
You know, you have one split one pro league.
You're having them here on stage at EWC.
How does it feel to be, you know,
garnering this kind of attention and respect
amongst the ALGS community?
It feels great. I'm like warranted.
I feel like I was a good player the whole time,
but I'm finally getting my shades of shine, you know?
Getting your flowers.
That's what we like to hear, my man.
Okay. Now, first, we've got to talk a little bit as well
about the group stage, right?
Because I've mentioned these pop-off moments
you guys were having. You're also having these pop-off games. You'd like throw down loads of points,
but then it would just, you'd kind of trip at the next hurdle. It would just be not quite getting
enough consistency out of you guys. What were the issues that you guys were facing? Do you feel
like you've ironed them out coming into survival stage? I think the main issues are like all three
of our first lands together. First land, not the IGL-ing. We just want to be like a little bit
of jitters, you know, changing our playstyle up. We're back to our main playstyle, so we're playing
in like, back to consistent way we are, you know?
Feeling more confident now?
Yes, way more confident.
And Floating, thank you so much for joining me here.
Really appreciate your time.
It's a survival stage, so things are gonna start
to get heated, but for now, we're gonna head over
to Rain Day, because he's got another interview
on the main stage.
Yes, I do, and no words are needed.
Because we got the big man, Roy himself here
from BCG.
Roy, I am so excited to talk with you.
You have such great fandom across the world.
So tell me congratulations first on your win.
First of all, congratulations on your victory this time.
And you have a lot of fans all over the world.
Do you have anything to say to them?
Thank you so much for all the support from our fans and watching our fans.
We will continue to work hard.
So a big thank you to all the fans for supporting us, for watching us right now.
We'll keep on working hard to deliver results that will appease you guys.
Roy, your signature move, we just did, it was the heart.
I have a picture of that, we love it, but this land, it's been anything but easy love.
It's been very challenging for a lot of teams.
What has made this land so challenging for you in particular, putting you in this survival stage?
What's the challenge?
I think it's because of the diversity of the selection.
It takes up the shape of the game.
So it will make the whole game ecosystem change a lot.
And then there are some, like the game,
those eNPAs that enhance some of the accessories.
I'll say one of the biggest factors is the tournament format.
With the BAMPIC mode, you know, it introduces a lot of variety to the drafts.
A lot of changes to the strategy.
It becomes very challenging for almost every single player, every single team out there.
Also, something changes the game like that, the EMP being buffed and everything else.
It just makes this game a lot more interesting, the meta a lot more interesting right now.
Yeah, absolutely. We heard that from Gen.G Asia as well.
He said the same thing, not playing crypto has hurt his team.
But I want to talk about your strategy for today because this is a long series.
You are an experienced pro. What is your strategy for staying competitive throughout all 10 games?
How do you keep your team stable and lead the team in such a high challenge?
I can only say that our performance today is the best this year.
We will try to keep it like this and let you see me in the finals.
Honestly, I don't really have much of a secret solution that I can give you guys.
This is kind of like the best performance that we're delivering so far.
I just hope that we can keep up with this performance and we can just keep going further
and you know have a time of our lives.
I'm all about it.
Actually, one last thing, there's a lot of teams that are very, very worried here about
their sets.
Is there any team you find in particular very dangerous that might not have woken up yet?
Aurora?
Teams like that in this lobby, NIP?
The only thing that has been three rounds is the day is young and there's a lot more games going on.
There's a lot more games going on.
I think it's only been three rounds. The day is young and there's a lot more games going on.
There's a lot more factors that play that anything can change, anything can happen.
So we're on our part, we're just doing our best to try and stay ahead.
I love that mentality. Congratulations on so far winning a game and doing pretty well early on.
We'll see if that continues. Thank you Roy. Thank you my man and thank you to everybody who's been
watching. Some great fans here for DCG Red Love. Let's go back to the studio and talk about what's happened.
Hello everyone, we are LVLUPS. I am LuVSEN. I am LoL100D. I am ShenLen.
Today we are going to play the A-PACE 5-7. I believe you all have some questions about the gun choice.
Let's take a look at the 3 professional players.
First, let's choose a deck.
Which deck do you think is our best?
The best, the most common, and your favorite?
You think so?
Death Di.
Because it's the most beloved death di
Ok, our death di is the most beloved.
Put it in the best.
Then we choose a draw gun.
A handgun gun.
You choose a good draw gun.
Put it on the table.
Right?
Draw gun?
Oh, functionality.
The first skill is to change the weapon and firepower.
This is very useful.
You can put it on top of the other one.
Yes, it's on top of the other one.
Okay.
It's very strong.
Then we'll choose the worst one.
The most useful one.
I think it's the best one.
I think this one.
You think this one?
Yes.
There's a bonus.
I think it's the worst one.
I think it's this one.
The worst one.
The worst one?
Yes.
The worst one.
It's not good to use the power source.
It's not good to use the power source.
It's not good to use the power source.
It's really a bit bad.
You can't even play the egg roll.
The egg roll.
Let's choose a melee weapon, the one we're going to use.
It's a good one.
I think it's these two.
These are the two.
Let's choose one.
The switch is R99.
I'm going to choose R99.
R99.
Because there are no two.
Yes.
I'm sure.
But I'm sure.
I'm going to use this one.
This one.
You're going to use this one, right?
Yes.
You're going to use this one.
Yes.
This one is good.
It's a good one.
It's a good one.
If you have a bullet, I'm going to use this one.
But I'm sure it's because it doesn't have enough energy.
I think this one should be on top
The same card
There are three cards on the bottom
These are all the same cards
This one
This one goes to the top
This is for use
It's for use
It's low
But its back is very strong
It should be almost the same as his
It's for use
It's actually quite useful
It's not recommended, but it's very useful
It can be used anywhere
It's just that it can be used anywhere
I think this one will be good
This one is bad
This one is bad
This one is bad
This one is bad
But it's really strong
But this one is 600 points
600 damage
600 damage is not enough
Help me
I don't have time
I'm so hungry
The main character has a double bar
I will put it in the same level as RG
But if I don't have it, it will be 100 gold
I feel like
Put it in the middle of the map
This is not like this
This is actually pretty good
This is in the middle of the map
In the middle of the map
This is a pity, I think it's very useful.
This is probably the case.
This is the most common choice for us to use our guns.
The most likely one is our 11th and 11th.
The ability to shoot with the anti-aircraft gun is too strong.
The most powerful anti-aircraft gun is the UYONG-ZI.
This is one of the few most common guns.
Okay, then we'll do this introduction for everyone next time.
Goodbye everyone.
And boy have we gotten some surprises here so far because I mean for fun eSports they came out hot lays with the wind
Honestly, I was I was gonna say we've been kind of glazing over for fun eSports
Okay, I know we just touched on them a little bit yesterday, but oh my god
We've been talking about consistency and I think these guys are the king of consistency
Tyler's kind of been leading the charge of the damage for them a little bit
And I'm not going to say that their stats are like anywhere super crazy like a lead to the level, but
Consistency consistency consistency even their kills is sitting around like eighth place, right?
But this is what I want to preface the button on this one
They actually reached a top five in about 30% of their games. So we have 10 matches
they'll be able to achieve that and
If they can keep that steady level on them, it could be something we might need to watch out for fun
I mean talking about steady level one surprises. Well, it's in first place
What the heck it's going on with all this teams that we were not expecting
Yeah, I'm actually super pumped for geek a just because you know, I go way back
I've actually team would drop before we have a lot of history and for them their biggest their biggest
You know problem coming into this was their lack of damage output
They really don't have someone that you're used to just like starting every fight
You know knock Keon drop they've all been relatively passive players
but they know how to get to end game and play zone and that has been really good for them and you know
Honestly talking to drop that was their biggest thing coming in today's we know that we need to take more initiative
We're not gonna get through as the top six by only going for zone and placement
You need those kill points and we've seen them. They've been aggressive
They've had the mad Maggie that been getting the drill kills
They've been pushing teams with the balls and it's been impressive to see the switch-up that they've had already
I mean staying correct it is the name of the game
But one thing I would like to point out as well as we look at this leaderboard is that all of the teams
That are essentially considered a veteran are moving steadily up that leaderboard and when you have this you know
As the roar goes through in the arena, you know
Everybody's sharing for their favorite teams and all of the teams are pulling through to an extent
I think that the mix-up in the lobbies as some groups have gone home and some groups have moved to finals has made it a
Lot easier for some of these teams in this current lobby
But I mean look at the bottom of this leaderboard
Alright, we have Virtus.Gro and all the way at the bottom, what is this, what have you done, Lance?
Both of them at the same time. How am I that powerful, honestly?
This is kind of what, you know, Apex South does. They can have those massive, heavy-hitting games.
And then they don't have the best, but look, three games down.
They aren't sitting where these other teams need to be, but look, they do have points on the board.
Okay, so maybe my jinx hasn't been that strong, but I'm going to pick up guys, please, I look, I look bad.
What's it that has been doing well too is JP Gaming and honestly, let's talk about floating because my goodness, so far today he has been a good performer for this one.
I mean, we also talked about the way he plays all for a lot of the time and he can go both ways as well.
We even saw that at this game, at the end of the game where he's just taking so much space, setting up flanking runs, getting these angles that people aren't expecting from cleaning up teams left and right.
But at the end it actually cost them. They got a huge entry on the bridge where they could have just triples won't potentially just ended the game
He opted for the flank that has worked so many times in this game in a row
Arrived a little bit too late as his team has got 3v2 at the top and it couldn't close off the game
But boy so far they're looking really strong in position and as they said as well
I said yesterday as well, you know, we're playing the same way with it in pro league and hey
It's finally here. You're seeing it game after game. Yeah, I think with JDP specifically we heard Naughty talk at the end of the day yesterday
He was giving clothing his flowers and saying, you know, no one has started with as high of a barrier as he has when he came in with
You know massive kills all throughout pro league second place overall and then now they're here at their furter as his big land
Debuted on a top team and it's impressive to see and I think it's just gonna come down to them finding their rhythm outside of just getting the
Slays I think when they're in the zone, they're still maybe trying to roam a little too much and trying to take the angles
We saw it in that last game. I thought they had a really good spot to maybe hold they were getting some KB
I think they over extend a little bit, but that big first game put them in a great spot to give them a little breathing room
But you know as we head into the the later half
They're gonna need to find a way to stay consistent and get to the end games without always having to rely on the key
Sorry boys. I mean, I'm gonna distract your team liquid syrup brother. Come over here with us
I want to ask you a couple of questions. You get that two car out of here
Dane you're tall
The camera shot. Oh, yep, Justin. Yeah, it's just barely
Now Cyril, thanks so much for joining us. What do you think is gonna choke today?
I think nip and saw really not looking good right now
I it's kind of my ideal top six with those boys in it, but
Take nip Aurora possibly as well and you probably saw especially with that coin
Oh, man
By the way going back to what happened with Falcons and all that stuff did that affect you just seeing them doing that Tony?
No, I don't get that Roland hell. Yeah, okay, so
Zero, I got one question for your brother.
You said, people seem to believe in Naughty, IGL can win land.
We are heading there slowly. How are you feeling about that?
If he makes you eat your word, you know you're heading straight into a montage.
Don't you think that Naughty, IGL can win land, fade to black, and then he's pop off one way.
Are you preparing yourself for the finals?
I actually loved Naughty. It was kind of fucked up when I said that.
I hope he wins, but I just don't see it happening.
I don't know if they make it. They're like pretty strong start right now, but still like the call points
You're on 74 from last year. So quite a bit to go. Okay, that's good
Yeah, I mean my only question is, you know, you've been strictly business when it comes to how you like jail and how you manage
Your teams is it feel a little better to have someone kind of like the little class clown and panic?
Is he light in the mood a little bit with the roster?
I saw you kind of stare him down when everyone is coming out with the six sevens
I mean every day of my life my office is right in front of his in the house. So every night he's screaming at 4 a.m.
I'm just screeching every single day in my life.
It's not that really.
All right, you said NIP, you said Aurora,
you said all those squads.
Hopefully they'll be able to show up.
I mean, we got what?
Seven games now left.
But I've been seeing all over social media
with the hashtag QWC that you give out
some of the best hugs, brother.
So as we send it to the game, as we send it to the casters,
you know what?
I think it's time.
You give me a hug.
Uh-oh.
Oh.
I think that was that was
definitely one of the best hugs.
Thank you so much. You know what?
Let's send it over to the casters
because the action is about to get
started here at ALGS at EWC 26.
Love that between everybody and
it's good to see. Good to see zero
and good spirits. Why wouldn't you
be? Of course, after their
performance so far in the group
stages, they get to chill and
relax. Watch all the gameplay
take place today. Talk to talk to
people who haven't quite made it
there yet. I mean, why wouldn't you?
It's part of it, isn't it? You've got to let them know.
But you know what else is part of Split One playoffs?
It's moving to a new map.
Olympus is upon us.
Just want to mention that Olympus and the zones we've had so far,
it's been very repetitive.
I would quite like for us to go somewhere else.
Yeah, I would agree with you.
But then again, I kind of feel like I maybe cursed
Wolves eSports yesterday when I was this morning,
or earlier on today in the first few games,
when I was saying that Humber Labs looked like a pretty good pick for them.
Well, they're landing over at Somers University, where he saw a lot of end game yesterday.
Now, will they be able to make the most of it? Should that pattern progress?
Will Gardens be the place to play from, which we saw yesterday?
JDG are going to be there, or GKE Sports?
Looks like a lot of teams who had a good prio to this particular map that we see in front of us
have an option for that side of the map.
Yeah, funnily enough, the best performing DOI so far, Gardens, Somers University, and Grotown.
Who would have thought... Absolutely shocking statistics.
people are definitely looking at some recency bias. That's for sure. Will they benefit from it? Or will we actually see some randomness in these zones? Please, Apex. It's all I'm asking for. Now, teams that have been doing very well on Olympus this tournament, JDG for fun, Zip and NIP.
We get the same zone insane as
now we get a fantastic chance
though for Wolves eSports to pick
up points now elsewhere and only
fight happening between Neo and
DCG. We're hearing a lot of talk
of course from Roy in that
interview, but Roy, our boy has
sadly gone down. It's still in
interview mode with the looks of
things. He has unfortunately
They started too early.
They're not letting that man go.
DCG, very good start for them, we will say though.
31 points on the board already.
Neo chasing down.
Some of the other members, it's actually DCG
who are in front of them, so trying to chase those down.
But over to GK, the team who are top of
the leaderboards at the moment, they've already
worked their way into Saunders University.
And they're under pressure here. On this
norther side, there's going to be a combination
of teams actually surrounding them. And I think it's a smart
decision to get out of this situation
if you're VKG, if you're Wolves, if you are GKG because surviving is the most important thing and now they've got JDG to worry about a problem.
That was sick by the way, using the enemy team's bubble to just bounce it off the top and send it down to the depths.
It's JDG though, they're going to be more than comfortable here, they're of course going to be running that Gibraltar.
A little bit of variety in legend selection but now that we have lost Maggi, it opens up the doors for the big man himself, Gibraltar, to be very apparent here in this lobby.
A lot of baby comp in this lobby, a little sprinkling of Ulta as well, as well as Watson.
What do you want to highlight while we've got a little bit of time here before the team
starts to engage?
I love that interview that we heard from Floating.
One answer in particular really stuck out with me, and that's the one where he said,
I always knew I was good.
This was just my chance.
I know you think you need to have that level of confidence.
Some people may call it ego, but I think that high confidence sometimes gets confused
to make it to the very top. And I'd love to hear that from
point himself.
For fun, third place at the moment, 28 points. They have
succeeded on Olympus so far this tournament.
Quarter of their points have come from this map.
And RRQ has even typically struggles here on Olympus,
currently being pressed by Shopify Rebellion.
He's looking to get aggressive here. He looks for the climb up.
up. That's taking a lot of
damage though. And all of a
sudden this climb up. It's a
little bit scary with that
bubble down. Damage being
exchanged pretty equal when you
look at damaging change between
the two teams. Easy flashes to
be up on high on those. Val
jets taken into the sky prices
gone armor advantage here, and
he's actually trying to escape
by the looks of things.
You will have someone down so
there's more than one team in
the vicinity here and prices
Excellent movement, though, watching Zyn, who take that fight, not overstepping, not overpeaking.
Did a little bit of damage, backs off once his position is given away.
Just making sure that you're not going to be an easy target like a Gibraltar is.
Pryce goes down.
And RRQ are going to have to move on as a duo to try and get back up.
But as I said, they've been struggling on Olympus.
They've only found three points in total on this map so far, this tournament.
And similarly to TCG who are also involved in that fight. They have only found five points so far in this tournament on Olympus
Two teams who just haven't been able to get it working
Well Shopify in the skies at the moment Zip Line Mafia are gonna be pretty close to them as you can see
This is a way away from where the zone is going to be going. This is all the way up to the north here of Olympus
We keep trying to fire some shots to warn off Shopify rebellion. They've also got
Angles are gonna be careful from shop by a little bit split at the moment
And they're actually, looks like the play call from Zanya has actually come in to go back to Rift here, so they're going to rotate back away.
Back over to zone though. Ninjas in pyjamas, they are in trouble. Vayne is down and that's the wraith as well, which means that their ability to get in and out of situations is going to be difficult.
Gura gets to his teammate to get him back on his feet.
Support passive is going to be important. Now he has to use that Eberrake because there's a couple of teams. Dynas being one of them who are peeking here.
in here. And once this bubble goes down they are in trouble. I know we're trying to take
advantage of really NIP with their backs against the wall here. Howlboost to Omjavonsno for
NIP. So they do have that bubble coming back very soon. It was about buying time for that
bubble for NIP. And they've just about managed to do so. Cole's going to be climbing up to
find a little cheeky corner to play. And he says, hey guys, it's pretty good up here.
Come and join me.
Oh!
Down Dino to pick it down on him.
The bubble just hangs over the lip as well.
You're very vulnerable if you do fight yourself inside.
Second of bubble.
Thane's going to have to retreat.
He should be able to get healthy, but it's just cycling bubbles at the moment for Ninjas and Potamas.
But Cole comes on big!
Cole goes huge!
That's to a Dino sound!
The last is just going to focus on escaping as well because they do have said void Nexus.
one of the few teams in the lobby actually running an altar. Maybe the only one? No, there's two. JDG also going to be running one as well, but NIP hold strong. And boy, do they need to...
In the very definition of survivability, 75 headshot coming in from Karev off those two.
Noxie got a few moments ago to keep NIP in this game.
Now he's looking for blood.
Karev in a 1v1 versus K.O.S.P. Leeds.
Karev's going to be there alongside him and all of a sudden, NIP on the back foot.
Karev, he's got Tony Hawk Impression spinning around and now Vayne.
Alongside Karev looks like they're going to be able to keep NIP alive here.
You have to give them credit.
This is a pyjamas backs against the wall multiple times in multiple situations.
But now they're taking dinos out of the equation and taking this part away.
Yeah, and not just in this fight, but in this series in general, we're into match four.
And NIP are still down in that bottom five.
Ha ha ha ha!
And J.Future, I think he knows what is going to happen in the soon J.Future if he sticks around.
He's running like a track star inside the bubble.
I can see you 360 on an MK. Let me show you a Rollerboy when it comes to 360s. Not quite
as er, poetic. But it works. Gen G on your screens right now. They've got a long way to
go. They are looking down the eyes of RRQ as we take a little look at what's holding
behind that 10 a few moments ago. That was so, so vital to NIP survival.
Haraku have been able to take a little bit of height here and got back up to a three,
of course, after the initial engagement they found,
but they're currently trying to hold out Gen.G on their cross,
but Gen.G can kind of just surpass them a little bit.
The single player from Dino's is actually over towards Sona Ray,
and I think that Haraku have just seen them.
And I do think that Dino's will be able to get the res and go back up to a three,
but the trouble is now you are so late arriving to zone.
Question is, now with this being another repeated zone,
how much does that play into the minds of the IGLs
about actually where this pull is gonna be
and where the actual finish is gonna be?
There's a little bit of a three team pilot happening.
Here at Gravity Engine, you've got DCG,
you've got Zipline Mathia,
and you've got Neo all very, very close to each other.
Now that the healthiest for now, Zipline and Mafia have actually left, they're heading
over to Gardens to get out of the pits they find themselves in, so this becomes now a
little bit more isolated.
Now they're going to get up to full purples, and DCG are going to get out of there because
it does not look like a survivable situation for them.
DCG is shadowing Zipline and Mafia a little bit here, but Zipline are going to be focusing
on just getting into zone at this point, but when they get to grow towers, they can put
themselves in a very advantageous spot with a lot of high ground to potentially hold
out in the likes of DCG. Elsewhere, VK Gaming looks like they're going to have a chance at a mythic
bin as well. They're holding kind of the northern zone inside circle right now.
A couple of knocks from distance in the feed that you see him from along those.
There's Dino's. They've somehow got the reset here. So a great job from them heading into
Terminal now into zone. Probably just to do a little bit of crafting to see if they can get a bin
reset on their way in towards the zone as well. Also there's a little bit of a ring console for
So they've got an opportunity with Watson to find out where their zone is going to be going exactly.
Lots of Valkyries in the lobby, of course. You mentioned the Baby Comp.
And Valkyrie just guiding the Gibby in Newcastle through the sky and then slamming in.
Going to be very important, I feel, in this final circle.
And we're just going to continue transitioning a little bit further east into Somers University.
So JD Gaming in a fantastic spot right now.
Yeah, you can see the great zone read from them.
Wolves Eastport, so they could be a bit frustrated because they had to pick the litter.
to play again. It's not the
first time that we've seen them
have good prior to zone, but the
reed hasn't been great when it
comes to the position they choose.
JD gaming, they read it perfectly.
GK. We saw them very early
rotating as well. With all the
teams starting to pile up on that
south side, if VK gaming can hold
this northern side, their walking
is going to be pretty good, but
they've got three teams still,
by the way, the same three teams
on that northern side. Look at
the scuffle. Here they are.
VK did get a scout out of that
mythic as well, so they're going
to cause a little bit of trouble
bit of trouble for those who are rotating it a little bit later. I think Zipline Mafia avoided
this gunfire. So it's going to be Neo and DCG. It's pretty straight 3v3 right now. DCG taking damage.
Akba is going to do a really good job to use that fuse on the front and try and flush him out,
but the race bubble is down. And that is going to protect DCG just long enough for them to get
into position somewhere where they can reset here. A scary moment, but very good play from the right.
But now they are between BKG and Zipline Mafia.
It's another two teams who are going to try and capitalize on some potential free KP here,
but also reluctant to engage because they know the other squad is in the area.
You have to pick and choose when you engage in some of these fights.
DCG have lost one and it's the giving huge down to the bubble not available.
We've got to keep that knockdown up, but it's being peppered right now.
And where do you go? Because it looks like no one at DCG is really safe whatsoever.
But...
Carchaic, no port available for him, we just saw him use it so he can't recover his teammates
back to some kind of safety, and DKG in the meantime are just looking to take advantage,
LQ gets another knock.
And it looks like the woes of Olympus are going to continue here for DCG as they're
worth performing Olympus team in the lobby right now.
And Lecroy can do something special, it's now Nio, of course, no loss, 1, and GenG let's
try and take them down, and looks like they are going to find at least 2 with the last
player trying to scarf her away.
They should be coming in as well, Asia on the axle.
Gonna get the nitro gate down just to put his teammate
into a safer position before looking to stick that bridge.
Nio will eliminate in the meantime.
Last player was taken down by an Aurora.
Remember that's Oirein who gets it.
VP also fighting themselves a little bit of trouble.
The ring taking someone down.
Roy is still alive as well,
just trying to avoid the remainder of BKG.
And actually Dino's in that BKG.
I think they were looking for Roy initially,
but now they've come across Dino's potential fight there.
It's VP, as you mentioned, they lost one,
and now Oz has gone down as well.
Prest is in Taskmaster the last alive.
They've just landed from this Val'Kholt.
And of course, they're way in towards the zone.
One knockdown is still a pretty good thing to play behind.
Prest is trying to be aggressive,
trying to create some space,
but he's taking some damage from the Skymates.
That's magnetic with the wingman in his hand.
He's looking a little windy out here.
As the gale starts to pick up for fun,
I've got a clutch.
and VP will be eliminated. It will not cost for fun.
Once you've missed the second one, you're not hitting the third or the fourth. We've all been there.
Doesn't matter in the end, though.
As we check in with Wolves, last place at the moment in this series, they did have priority to the zone and they have picked wrong.
They're going to have to move a little bit further northeast to get inside this next zone.
There is a potential they could get a bit of KP if they want to hold out the likes and forefund.
to be able to do that. Sadly
for walls. They're going to
have to try and push through
the likes of Shopify Rebellion
and PXX. Now Aurora. 20 points
eight place. So they are two
positions away from those top
six spots that everyone is
going to need. I do the good
thing for Aurora is they are
not far behind. They were in a
far different position than
Nip. For example, two of our
major teams here in this
survival stage. They are not
far away. Let's find it
DKG still playing this north side but now they're going to have to back hold.
You see the zone pulling away towards the south.
JDG, Shopify, Repelian and PXX.
The three teams who are inside of the zone but it's going to come more joining them in
just a few moments' time as air traffic control will start to have to earn their money.
DKG, LQ to the lower damage on the way down and that's the new castle that needs to keep
them alive so that the mobile shield could go down to keep them alive.
Not going to be able to do so. Aurora now trying to push in.
They are safe inside this building, but I think the flat kind of cornered.
They're going to bubble up on it. VKMT did not survive.
Nano finds their effect to start a come to life.
And the rest of flat try to escape. Two players dead. All three now flat will fall.
If effect starts to cook, Aurora should start to make a meal of things.
They're into sixth place now and would be one of the qualification spots.
They are looking a little bit more comfortable, but we can't get ahead of ourselves just yet
It is interesting to look at the stats for effect when he under-performed in the first couple of days
I wore a really did struggle
And whilst he is not the only reason why that team is gonna do any good
He certainly can drag his team through all at times
It's a really tough road take here for ninjas in pajamas. They're gonna wrap around the outside now vain is on the right
He may be able to thread a portal somewhere for them, Aurora in the meantime, just trying
to survive.
The effect has to retreat, pop that battery inside the maze of tunnels that makes up the
inside of Somers University.
Now, a couple of fences down, he's going to try and rescue the Gibby first, or he reigns
so that he can get a bubble down and look to roof set completely, and GK now make their
move.
Remember, they were in one of the prime positions early here on that northern side, but they
a little bit closer to some of the action that's taking place and Aurora have managed to reset.
Round five about to close and we have 16 squads still left. We've only got about five teams that
are actually in Zed's zone. There's going to be a lot of death and destruction here and you mentioned
that NIP trying to move down on that southwest side. They have been able to find the portals,
but I think the portal was into a couple of teams so it's plan B, a potential EVAC tower instead
here if they would like to take it. But actually, you're going to knock. How about to send QRF to
It's affected by Barba Form, 1 and 3.
Now he's getting a bubble forward, and NIC loves to fight.
And Kurev loves to be aggressive. We're seeing exactly that.
Remember, power booster here on Gibraltar as well.
So even when that bubble goes down,
you would imagine unless there's a power booster on the opposite Gibraltar,
they should get that second bubble first.
Patience in the moment from NIP as well.
They know they can just hold this position.
They are just about in zone.
has relapsed DCG to get eliminated. Gen G also struggling a little bit. Aurora have lost all
raid again, and this is what I was talking about. Single player is dying to go down as Aurora will
fall in 14th. And she can't hit win that fight. Drops his last alive throw back over to NIP though
inside of this building. Still safe. Still playing around the safety and the comfort of that bobble.
The XX on the other side of this new castle wall is looking like a tough ass to go through there.
A very tough ask in D and Pylon is very well though, I will say they've got the bubble
and these wingline shots could be imperative for that chances.
Another bubble goes down and there's a peacekeeper on the other side of this.
Cole trying to get those fences down to stop the push coming in. 50% on that Pylons and they're
not going to be able to win any grenades that come their way. There's an opportunity to escape out
of that window should they want to but it's still just a standoff between the two. I mean out of the
the window into what is the biggest question they have no sight lines of it
right now they don't know actually what they could be dropping into elsewhere
36 doing plenty of damage GK esports will be eliminated GDG need to keep shooting
up at the bottom of the floating hit some shots
little bit of an armor swap for it so trades on either side of this fight
E36 moves one man well squads left by the way in this final circle insane
JDD lost one as well, Zipline Mafia dancing around these fights as well.
You can see how close these teams are to each other.
And with 12-squats remaining, it's no surprise that he's somehow scarfed away on the Gibraltar.
Finally JDG will go down, and Zipline Mafia now hold one of the best wages.
PXX will be our next.
With this many teams alive, it's very difficult to stay healthy as a full three.
You have to be available to try and do it as a duo at times.
E36 finds themselves in a strong position though, I will say.
Shopify Rebellion go down in 10.
Bumble comes in for Kurev to try and work their way through the defensive bombardments raining down.
Gen.G and Shopify have fallen.
And now it's going to become the skies becoming dark as they will be filled by defensive bombardments of Gibraltar's on Purple Parks
and Valkyries trying to navigate it.
Wolves have the only round part in the lobby by the way.
I wonder if this Sheenler could do some damage here in the late game to some of these new Castle Castle Wolves.
T.I.E eliminated and Wolves, of course, who dropped at Somers, rewarded for watching the games back and seeing where those zones were going.
But can they make the most of it? Seven-squats remaining, zipped by Mafia and R.R.Q. Having a little bit of a fight here.
N.I.P. takes some damage, cold last alive, playing behind those knockdowns and trying to do what he can to survive.
He'll hit a big beam, he'll hit a second, but isn't it too much to ask?
to ask. Ministers in for Jarvis are down. Top 5 now as Wolves move in with that massive.
These are where the power boosters are so important as well. Getting bubble after bubble after bubble.
And another one comes out for Wolves. KineTroop out in fifth as E36. They go up into the skies.
And it's full squad again, involved in the end game. Sinetic downbeat.
Drags back to his feet by the new Castle. But they get absolutely swarmed.
Zipline Mafia against Wolves in the end game here. WQ5 swarms. Zipline Mafia!
The final moment here and the Cinderella story continues for Zipline Mafia.
And look what it means to them as well to get a win on the board and to take the lead
into this series up to 44 points.
And after four matches, this is when we're starting to look at, okay, how many points
are we going to need to get into that top six?
And the
Zippo mafia are on a fantastic
trajectory at the moment. I
still don't feel like it's
going to be enough. But they
put their best foot forward
here. Long, long way to go
still another different winner.
The second half of this series
can be intense, especially
when those legend bands start
to take effect and teams are
going to be running
It's going to be an incredibly exciting day here in the survival series.
We'll take a look at some of the replays in that endgame.
E36 somehow getting involved in those final moments.
Cole, by the way, just went crazy, crazy in those final moments.
Big beans coming in. I think he secured, if not top six,
maybe even top five for Ninjas and Pajamas in that game.
For ZipLine, Matthew Olympus continues to be their home.
the first time. 31 points. They
had previously the ad now to
that. Their best performing
map so far, and they are one of
the best performing Olympus
teams in this lobby. And that
statistic is carried through now
here into match four, but. They
do have one more. Remember
Olympus is only played twice.
Yes, we have three districts. We
get to Olympus. We get to store
point and then we get three
you're going to see it three
times. Yeah, make it closer to
the end of the series as we take
a look at the match results.
Zipline mafia 22 points on the
board. 10 Kp along the 12
placement along with the 12
placement points. Worms, by the
way, second place Thomas
University looking like a stroke
of genius for them to pick in the
P. O I draft. Down in the bottom
side, though, it's not looking
too good for a few teams that
the game. I'm not going to be
going to be a good team. I'm
not going to be a good team. I
think only getting the three,
but I think with the amount they
put on the board throughout the
district, they won't be too
disheartened just yet. And I
think that's what a lot of these
teams need to be prepared for.
There are going to be maps where
you struggle. There will be maps.
You may get zero points as long
as you capitalize on the maps
where you have those good POIs
or whether zone is presented to
you. You capitalize on that as
well. You should still find
success. But what to do still
It's still a long way to go that's only four. We have 10
And perhaps we can readdress that at the halfway point
But even here it just feels like the teams that are still down at the bottom you still have such a good chance here
And as we mentioned perhaps it's just a couple of bad maps for you so far
For fun e-sports continuing their domination as well looking very very strong
Well as we say goodbye to match four match five
It's coming up in just a few moments time after this quick break don't go too far. We'll be right back
right now so I'm lucky obviously you're sitting pretty right now I don't have to worry about anything so talk to me a
Little bit about your impression of the survival stage so far. I mean so far
It's actually looking good for for fun really for the boys especially for title my boy back in manheim
We got top three so I'm absolutely rooting for him and also for this pro. They're like, you know, I'm friends with them
So for fun and where does go go go? I love that
I love that don't talk to me a little bit just kind of about the entire
competition here so far. Have there been any teams that surprised you with how
well they've done? I would say Elite Esports, they came like very a bit
shorter in the EMA Pro League and they just got in by regional finals-ish so
I'm very surprised by them. Charlotte's my boy Kainah, he's doing absolutely fantastic and I just wish him the best and overall I think the other thing is like a rule I would say is like the only thing I would say is a bit bad but I'm sure they come back.
I know they definitely cut it a little bit close there even just to make it into the survival stage
So we'll have to see how they're able to do now in today's series
Generally, how's your experience been those of our obviously you guys have done pretty well for me for yourselves
But what's EWC 2026 been like?
Actually, like I'm surprised how they like to set up everything in such a short time like changing locations
I think it's absolutely amazing having the crowd here as well. Is it blessing? You know shout out to all the supporters
I love you guys so much and yeah overall atmosphere is good
So one final question here for you unlucky any advice for people looking to try and come out do this deck same type of thing
That you're doing as a professional player. I would say just
Change your goals. It's your dreams. Just believe in yourself and just try it. You know, you gotta risk something in life
If you don't do that, you might end up regretting. So just go for it
Coming from one of the best literally in the world at apex legend so unlucky
Thank you so much for chatting. Sorry to steal you from the crowd. I appreciate your time
Thanks so much. Thank you. Thank you for having me
From the regional finals a hail on top here in the survivor stage guys zipline mafia
They take the dub on Olympus and as we transcend through all the maps to the survivor stage ship
It's exciting because now we're already getting to see how these teams are playing with their lives against themselves
man their lives on the line quite literally as we will be saying goodbye to so many teams only
top six teams advance it to the finals. Yeah that's absolutely punishing the fact that 14 more teams
are going to be going home and not able to compete in our match point finals tomorrow as we get a
look at the keys. Elite Esports that Unlucky was talking about has already crushed the first six
keys. We'll see if they'll be able to keep that momentum up tomorrow but I do love that Unlucky
He was also talking about Tyler right over there on for fun e-sports competing alongside nags now some of those teams
They get kind of crazy out there, but they have been looking so impressive
Definitely above that average points per game that I'm looking for considering they have 36 points
Now I'm not gonna do any math, but I am looking for eight points average per game to get yourself locked into the top six
That's not gonna necessarily go to be final, but it's definitely working right now
I'll say never do math here when it comes to being alive
You know how it goes to but it's a few equals seven. No, maybe Nessie with the mustache
I don't know but you know and it's important for these teams to keep track
You even see in between the games the way that they're keeping track of the overall standings themselves
And as we do continue on on to Olympus
This is going to be the last game on Olympus before we flip over to
Stormpoint for game number six to game number seven once again
It's about the consistency as we see the fans in the arena
It's looking stacked out here welcome everybody to Paris. It's the survivor stage and our teams are trying to survive in our
10 game series and
Wolves East for its fans showing out
I believe we've even got some up here just behind us your number one seed from a pack South need all of the momentum
They can get 10th place overall in that last match that we just have with 20 points knowing that 44 points is the mark at the top
We've already started our series in that midway so much better than the first two matches Vicki
Love the fact that they were able to come in that second place finish right six KP now as we continue now on onto match five
We said goodbye to Gibi you can expect the influence of Gibi
I mean it's been very similar in the way that we've been banning out our legends from the very beginning of group stages is replicating itself in
in the Survivor stage, when you get out with the Mad Mag,
did you introduce the Gibby?
And would the Gibby being the most picked
legendary game number four?
Now we welcome our next band here for game number five,
which will be a tie between Valkyrie and Newcastle.
That's actually wild.
For Zip Line Mafia, Hailing from Stabilizer,
it's such a far away POI when we talk about
those summer's university zones,
where we talk about those garden zones
and then we talk about what we see.
Yet again, Dan, I'm so sorry wherever you are in this lobby or vicinity.
We've got another zone going at the same place.
Listen, this is not pulling directly closer to Somers University, right?
I mean, it's pulling a little north.
I mean, a little north, right?
This bitch is just talking about it.
Why everyone is already rotating in with the utmost quickness.
JD gaming, leave gardens,
fresh off the ring console and survey beacon information.
Wolves, eSports just have a quick rotation up towards the north.
Now JD gaming in particular sure maybe match number four wasn't their best performance, but they are the second best team overall on
Olympus so knowing that 42 of their points throughout the group stages which accounted for 43% are from here
Maybe they can do it for VP and Aurora. This is gonna be a good fight
It's literally like the sandwich of zone pulls when it comes to this row tower summers regarding do you pick as our wall?
picking off VP two out for VP in effects
They see out on some additional shots, he said you can't hit me, shoot me, try to get the wall jump, but it's fine.
The archer is able to pick up that KPSV, get a limited, but the way he was able to wrap up on the other side is even better while he dvs his attention to the back.
He says, no one knocks my baby goat, okay?
Effect is looking so locked, even Grace was noting it from the green room.
He goes, when they pulled up his player cam, he was so focused and he's like, oh, effect's not losing, Aurora's got this.
especially when you got your entire team still alive.
Vick says, help me after knocking those two with VP now
being the first team out.
Same with a lot of these teams walking out on the back,
you mentioned before, as well as the new cast,
we'll bunker down and find a spot.
There's a lot of these ramparts to be met
in the same type of composition,
taking to the skies to now,
holding onto the Skyward Dive,
does have that Evert Tower that they just used recently
and are gonna be able to start rotating,
considering that Sympath has the blue perk.
So he will be able to get the scan
over to the teams that are right below them,
having to be careful with these snipers,
finding your own spot with this quick rotate
that you had mentioned earlier, Tiff.
Brilliant, at least they have place to go for them.
They can dive in just above wolves
and into the cover they go.
You can see the setup from JDG with those Watts and fences.
Of course, they're looking directly at this,
but they still have to deal with NIP at their backs.
Floating, locking in the fuse here
is great to keep those knuckle clusters moving forward.
for WGR EO, they sense trouble up ahead.
Deep Frost gaming does have a couple players down.
And you're now moving forward to being one of the seniors
with the Axel though, with the Nitro Gate,
just enough worry isn't trouble, gets knocked, DCG.
Talk about bringing in some of that momentum
when you have to transcend over from one map
to another, he did it to a Limpus,
the last game on the Limpus will now
shout being the last one alive.
Just try to Q out of there, please help me.
I mean, it's unfortunate when you lose out on the new couch,
it gets a little wall jumped out.
Just so we could try to mix up, get around this next corner.
You could ping on the replicator and maybe out in the distance
here with Gen. G now getting that survey beak
and they know exactly where that solo is rotating to.
Everybody's hungry, especially when you are now in game five,
halfway through our 10 game series.
And we're just running straight out of Turbine.
It's like, where are we going for the reset?
You had Zipline Mafia that was looking for that information
over in Turbine as well, so they're gonna both end as we look back at a replay here of Aurora.
A little slow-mo of the critical shot here from Hiyarka.
And is that what it sounds like when you slow it down? That's just on the crazy.
It's not like it hurts even more than what it looked like. Oh no.
Unfortunately this isn't so like, he had to have seen the survey begin getting scanned right,
so you really have no other choice. It's going into the void real quick while the zone is closing
in by Fight Night. The fact that Gen.G fly overweight, the timing on that rave kill was
so crazy. He avoided getting scanned by the Valkyrie from Gen.G when they took to the
sky and actually got away with going into Fight Night. He may be able to get the reset
because of that alone.
I think he just baited that team into Gen.G Esports. And no, he, oh, Aja down. One member
from Neo down as well. For Zicky, the last alive on the Valkyrie half med. He's getting
tag from behind. Gen.G are here, not letting this go, and Gen.G have fallen.
Talking about mating here, now they're gonna be able to get Octa back with the res and with him having the med kit. DCG will be able to go to the replicator over by Carrier, RRQ though.
With the scan by Fight Night, it's about having that ring console infallible on its every weekend eventually, so they're gonna call out where that solo is.
Very true. Meanwhile, deep cross gaming, the solo still alive, retreated to the back of
Carrier, looking for a full reset and does obtain it. Roy and Liza are coming back, which
is crazy because they start in a way, they try to rotate it and get taken out and now
we're back just as far away. So it's going to be a tough rotation for them. They do not
have a Valq.
RQ now, looking at Neo, VK gaming still up on the high ground and it's going to be that
back to back you were mentioning with DCG getting that full reset at the very least.
RQ now are forced to fight off against Neo, a bit of an isolated fight at that.
Considering that Zipline Mop get coming out of Rift, we don't want to play with this
rotate instead.
It's a lot of action with Stripey playing, being able to get that first knock, 18 spots
still left, looking ahead.
Why are you running?
The back to back, he's trying to get away.
These longbow shots missing out of total ass, with 60.
But it's not enough as he's literally still alive with one
pixel of health between both of them.
And so, Oslo's gonna be repop this med kit.
They're definitely gonna get those heals off.
And as they run through a state straight towards Hammon Labs,
will our RQ late chase, you see the Evac Tower in hand?
So healthy to be able to take this.
And they're at 33 points on the series.
That cut mark off, right, the six.
So we must improve on that and go into his states to attack them.
However, for their full health, immediately one striping flame lands the battle.
Begin!
Oh my goodness. I mean, they're not getting letting them go.
Striping flames upset. They need to escape.
Can he go for it? At least this time around?
Yes, he does!
Eventually, he lands a long bow shot.
He sees him go through the door and it's an opening for him,
as now Nio is down to a solo.
We did just lose out on PXX as flat and dino's both isolated them
There's going to be a ton of battles happening in that next circle depending on how we shift
But for now our teams like team our RQ deep cross gaming and zipline mafia still need to know where they want to approach from it
I can imagine that our RQ's just gonna cut east straight out of Hammond labs
They're hovering over the survey beacon right now likely gonna base their
information off of that. For Dinos on that southwestern side of the next circle,
there to have a side, do we fight wolves? Do we capitalize on that?
Pina Trope on the other hand have two down and we've got a last ditch effort against Dinos.
Oh man, Pina Trope fall because Dinos are just hungry.
They get more K-Ping? Well, Arch, you just do not let Nio survive.
I mean, this has just been a packet-forth duel between both these teams.
Since the very beginning that they got out of fight night they took over the
Pio between a states into carrier and now they were eventually chasing up the
solo. They got the KP and they said it's not worth chasing down the last member of WGR Neil.
They want a prior rotate through Hammond instead so that way they can control that
high ground choke that would lead you out of the portal from Terminal especially
looking at how the zone is pulling. They can also get the information off the
Survey and ring console over there while we take a look at black
We like to try to prioritize not only in our summers when we see all these different zones
But now trying to approach wolves in this building nano awful be ax always going to be able to get the nitro gate
We follow up to try to climb up here
With the kickstart to that could really help out this fight. I'm just waiting to see what we're gonna approach it
And we go up to the fences nano loses out on the shields and it's forced to reposition this mean big moving future
Oh, that's a shame.
We're individually approaching this and getting broken down.
Dude, E36 is griefing them, actually, with the longbow,
but now they have to drop down from a high ground.
It's not like they're going to show face.
And now, Slap gets the trade off from Wulff,
gets the answer back because of longbow shots.
Or just too much.
I mean, E36, look, even if that was a face-up against Wulff,
that's just going to be free KP for them
without even having to leave from their spot
behind the end barrier.
Whatever it takes if that's me in a spot in zone dead center with a long bow in hand briefing everyone
Then you know I'm doing it
Like music to my ears, you know what's going on. We've all been there at apex
Although a little bit of revenge from wolves to be able to get them out themselves
It's not like they're gonna give up too much of that space though because even if they give up this building
see if dinos want to try to counter rotate you that southern choke or if they
do want to commit coming in from the low to high ground towards grow towers from
the middle part of the PLS from Olympus that exits out of labs as a team R2 to
actually end the backtracking because we do get the res on to WGR Neo so that
means that that's gonna be a trade-off from both these teams that we have seen
from the very beginning eventually but we'll see how that plays off to while we
We see DCG now moving out of Gravity Engine.
A lot of these teams are outside this next zone.
That's because it's going to be a really top zone to play,
forced to pop the Phoenix could hear.
The team with the most kills on your screen,
five currently for the lobby.
We also find ourselves positioned,
like you said, between deep cross gaming and our RQ.
So our choice is incredibly limited here.
We want to get ahead of that.
And that evac tower in the distance
is going to let them know
We are definitely not alone here.
And they're going to immediately sign us out
if we peek out too soon.
It disappeared.
It disappeared.
He immediately destroyed one of those
shields in the distance or something, but that's-
And did he decline?
Yeah, I mean, we've seen that happen before.
And we're the team that's trying to keep them all over.
Oh my goodness.
These shots already DCG are hungry.
Neil just cannot catch a break.
We all profoundly try to get the-
Oh, the kickstart!
The kickstart now poops them up.
It's up to Shal from DCG, but they're in a terrible spot with the zone closing in behind their backs.
Let me just tell you that kickstart from WG Arneo was everything.
We're leaving the third behind, and as a duo, we take to the skies straight over Aurora,
and now we must find a playable space in that next circle.
I mean, coming out so deep into the zone and literally being one shot,
having to Q now right through the Watts and fences,
no time wasted when you're trying to put down the portal to get some extra speed.
behind the crates. Nothing to see though. We're fine, right? You hear the shots from
afar. It's a little scary. I'm dead here. I mean, they hear him. They hear him, you
know, from Zipline Mafia. Fresh off that matchboard win. This is their rotation. They saw every
bit of it and now they've sided out one of the grow towers. Tie on that further West
last one.
15 squads left, headgear dropping and aurora
bunkering down with these wats and vets as well
so Jett is still alive!
Do you see, G is now neighboring right underneath the aurora.
If you're gonna have a rat, let it be the ray.
Like, always let it be the ray.
And we're just chilling for now.
We'll keep tabs on him, zipline mafia, high ground,
Ty on that tower, VKG in the center.
And the fact that we can kind of just waltz around here without getting stared at is crazy
to me.
Even crazier to see how Zipline Mafia has just basically had the Cinderella story, right?
A team that would not have qualified for LAN without winning their regional finals are
now sitting in first overall where the top six teams make their way into the final lobby
are now holding onto high ground holding this north side, but they still have to start moving
into the next zone because it's essentially pulling right on top of RRQ where E36 we're
trying to grief Wolf Esports earlier.
The fact that RRQ get over there is just only something that a Valve can do.
We have to make that maneuver.
Wolves are still holding that south side.
But deep cross gaming after hearing from Roy in that interview he was talking about
it's still early in the series but our zip line mafia boys making sure that their backs
are cleared out.
Okay.
Is that the position they want?
They're trying to give them their energy.
I mean, can they get their TIE also trying to find their spot while zipline off?
They're taped to the skies.
They pinged out right where our RQ is.
You can see they're getting the information.
Do we slam down on our RQ and hit the chow?
Hold on. They're trying to find their spot.
They don't really like it.
They hear the fighting, though.
They can try to go for a creepy while TIE also in trouble.
You talked about the schema earlier.
That's going to be E-36,
who have controlled so many of these buildings
over on the outskirts of Growtowers
and are now looking at the action
collapsed right before their eyes.
This is where they've been hiding behind.
Oh, damn, there he is, it's a huge damage output.
They find DCG, the unfortunate solo
that could not get the recent NTIE,
followed thanks for four fun to get that KP
to their name, 13 squads left,
and only two teams are in this next zone right now
with the rest of this lobby
on the outskirts on the north side of Growtowers.
GK wipe out ninjas in pajamas off screen here as we work with wolves as dinos have just moved in underneath them
You immediately start to see the setup
Because as you know it, this is the south side fight
Who will move first?
Zipline Mafia elsewhere taken out by JDG
the team in fifth place
So you need to see here when Zipline Mafia have such a lead by 45 points and 4 pump being right behind him with 39
They can get overtaken, JDG sitting in fifth now, looking down at Shopify who are right at their feet behind a new castle.
While Foli's in trouble, Sighly tries to get him to brush fire, with JDG being one of the few teams up here with the Fuse, Watson and Alter.
Getting the ammo that they need with this passive here from Stay Naughty, but he's just gonna continuously harass them because they're just hiding behind this new castle.
All their stuff in the line of sight of so many of the teams.
And we have to go south from this.
With all the teams out towards their left,
it's going to be incredibly difficult.
WGR Neo have found themselves in a precarious situation,
underage GK, but even they can't peek
because so many people are ahead of them.
WGR Neo have fallen into the top 10 we go.
I mean, we got to see this pile of JD gaming and Shopify.
Now that the zone is closed, the NGK are trying to survive
with Jace down, I guess QQ's out,
and the rest of VK gaming no time around.
As they clip the boundary wings, say hello to my little friend
As the Sheila is out, looking down at Wolves gets the following crack though, and the rink's closing in you, which makes them move up, but it's enough pressure to force them to look away.
Now it's down to only Keon, but the action is not soft, Shopify get the following nuts. Dino's going crazy and 4-4-4 as well as DK.
Wolves trying to crawl their way in, Dino's already there, Aurora, we lose JD Gaming, the collapse is here, and Wolves have all three players up.
Will may be able to take down Enter Force 36 and the fight that keeps continuing!
Aurora trying to make this comeback to center on a story, but you tell Sheila!
Even with the Elster, it's up to Ori Rainby on the new capture to get these resists.
They can hear him from the other side though, and it's five squads left.
It's so hard to get this off, and Aurora get eliminated.
In this place, Wolfs who have been holding this down are knee-break shoppified who are playing
right underneath them. Enter Force 36 on the other side of the fence, right behind these air quads.
I don't know what it is about wolves in the north. I'm feeling very Game of Thrones like maybe there's some dire wolves
They are surviving the next child stopify
rebellions
Sheila not available, but the RE45 is working just as good here for zap
Talk about dire walls. Maybe they're starched themselves. They're hiding behind these walls
So I'm gonna take some off ankle. They didn't see him. They're fixated right in front of us. We have to know him
He doesn't stand his nose, but the fact that no name gets his knock is great. He's dancing around the bunny
See that they just got the rest. This is very bad news for Shopify. He needs to get some shields.
And Fony, where are you going? Back to the lobby, apparently.
Let Shopify get eliminated.
And gloves with the reset. Crazy Kong on the new castle. That is the best plays you could have done
to keep the team in the fight. No name, infinite ammo upgrade, going hard.
And now with the Valk.
Maybe we're taking to the sky to look for that info as when in crazy calm can play oversight
But our arc you are still alive on the south controlling this space missile swarms incoming with no name taking to the sky on the
Valkyrie got 5 kp by the way to his name in this game alone
He gave the information to the rest of wolves and they have the high ground
They know where E36 is coexisting right underneath to their bottom right and our arc you are praying that wolves and E36
Fight each other first so that we make it 3p and win this game
RQ of Valsalt to the sky
Wolves staring directly at them
For now they want to force enter force 36 into it
Straping takes entirely too much damage if your new castle goes down here the fight may be over
Now trying to hail from above with the way that just was able to get this knock at the strafing though E36
Still staying alive while wolves and RQ are trying to coexist right underneath each other
with Wolves being on the top, you see another one now,
Skyrock at the side with E36 taking it off angle,
but with Wolves fighting, it's not that easy,
they have the advantage, slowly as Wolves are looking,
so Wolves from the high ground,
they come slamming down with a new castle,
they need help, they try to fight,
it's a fight, they've got three versus three,
they've got the answer, and he gets the job as Wolves.
Take game number five.
Holds definitely needed that 14 kills here on Olympus 26 points.
Phenomenal plays holding the high ground and you can see just how tough that is to deal
with at the very end.
But a second place there for RRQ to hold out to grab 14 points.
Force 36 with 13 but it's Wolves that stand alone at the top. With that dub alone not only taking
that dub and being at the top, taking the top of the overall standings with that. Together with RRQ,
remember it's only our top six teams. We get the Wolfs fans behind us. They heard their chance
And they played that so well they stayed on the high ground for as long as they could getting the information honestly
The moment that E36 was slamming right in front of Wolves
I mean what did Wolves have to do just other than just inch forward right and this is where you kind of take it back to that final fight
Immediately slamming down and throwing the mobile shield and then kind of just toggling back and forth and the celebrations coming through with the reactions
You have to like hold your breath as a fan in that moment because it is so intense.
They moved up so many positions on the leaderboard.
We even got to see Papa Gen there, right?
With the Wolves jersey.
We saw him just a couple moments ago before these games and he was like, I had to switch
my loyalties for Wolves today.
I need someone to cheer for.
And maybe that's the Papa Gen buff.
But maybe, you know what?
The fact that he even got the jersey frame one, he was ready for it, giving them his
energy with the rest of the fans here in the crowd. What a game for Will's 14 KP. Look at this.
It's 26-20 points in one game alone and we are now past the halfway mark.
We are 10 game survivor stage series. I think they moved up like 13 spots per game.
Do you know how insane that is as we look to the back half and shout out to WGR Neo that was an
incredibly challenging game for them but they still walk away with seven KP out of that and all
the constant kind of regains out towards the left. Even with deep cross gaming they were struggling
there trying to stay alive. Their race player at the very end we saw them try to portal into the
void and find a playable space. Maybe try to pull a panic play from groups regardless. All you can
do is try to get as many points. So if you're a solo you want every placement point that you can
possibly get because I know the difference between six and going to match point finals and that seventh
place and going home is going to be minimal. It's so tight, like literally. I mean if you
just look at those top 16s, right, it's like a point difference, maybe a match two to three,
and it's just these next few games will change everything for these top heavy teams. If we
take a look at some of these brief plays, honestly, this is unfortunate, right? I mean,
I like when Simon's attempt was right there taking an off angle, but without having the
backup that he made to help with these swings, he would let the reset happen and now Wolves have
I'm a high ground L start in hand for crazy.
No name what insane this game alone on the Valkyrie
got the information E36 eventually
get eliminated before Wolves took it home for game five.
And now we get to see the series results.
This is what we're talking about.
Look at this RRK Wolves tied with 46.
The one point difference between ZipLine and E36.
And ZipLine Malkia and Interforce 36
are at a tie as well with 45.
Four funding GK right below them.
JD gaming who was inside that top six slip just a bit deep cross gaming there as well for teams that need to kind of get it together
Slightly is gonna be that verse pro Gen G e-sports flat BXX
These are teams that are at the bottom and need a massive game to get that comeback
I'd rather see it in map six map seven just so we don't go to the last two games in our ten games
Survival stage here to make that comeback
Imagine how some of these players feel, man.
You get to see a lovely, uh, yes.
Right, like, he's going to town with that one.
Team Liquid, as we get to say hello to the fans.
See, Team Liquid here, alongside the rest of us.
It's getting hot in the venue.
We still got game number six on the horizon.
Don't go anywhere, because we are moving onto Storm Point next.
of the
And we've got fans for all of the teams trying to stay alive.
Speaking of some, we have some fans from Kazakhstan who are actually rooting for ZipLine Mafia.
Guys, give me some words, some words of encouragement for ZipLine Mafia today.
Line them up, ZipLine!
Line them up, boys!
Line them up, boys!
Get going!
And where is this, I mean, this is just the logo, this is the Line them up 2020,
which will be hopefully used at some points to get them down.
I don't know about that.
And we got the Pathfinder icon over there.
I love the Pathfinder play, man.
You guys enjoying this atmosphere?
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely, yes.
It's great.
Yeah.
Are any of you guys not from Kazakhstan?
Where are you guys from?
We are from Munich, Germany.
We live in Munich, yes.
What about you?
Yeah, I'm also from Munich, yeah.
You guys came all the way out here just to watch the tournament?
Yeah.
Just to support our teams?
Yeah, well, I'm sure ZipLine's gonna love it.
Appreciate any final words or a little hurrah.
Well done, guys!
Let's go!
Let's go!
All right, so Zipline Mafia's got their representatives.
We're gonna find out who else is representing
over here in the stands.
Okay, we have some amazing Aurora fans here.
I think you're the biggest Aurora fan in the house.
Who are your favorite Aurora players?
And Arca and Feck, I'm the coach of the service.
Can you show us your jersey?
Oh, that's amazing.
Look at that, hi, Arca.
that doesn't motivate you I don't know what else will yes thank you guys so
much thank you for being here thank you mama I appreciate it all the families
are gathering Aurora man what a fan right there he might be our youngest
fan in the building
Welcome back everybody. We got fans of all ages in this crowd.
Hiyarka stays winning though man and I love being able to see these young legends giving their supports.
Aurora needing it all because they're currently sitting intense with 31 points.
But you know what's if that gap isn't so big when you see how tight the top 16s are holding their spots with JD Gaming being on the outskirts in 7th with 38 points.
and it matters when we transition now onto storm point.
I'm so excited about this because we're just coming off a dominant wolves victory, right?
They used their second pick in the POI draft to grab Zeus station in which they are so comfortable at.
That is one of the highest scoring POIs throughout our entire week here averaging 10.25 points per game
and wolves grabbing that and also not only that but they are their best team that we have in the lobby
on Stormpoint with 52% of their total score throughout group groups coming from Stormpoint.
Like I'm just telling you, that's a perfect storm. Like if we've minimized and gotten so many points
already in games that we were not the best at, coming into Stormpoint, you're like,
this should feel at home. Knowing how many circles have gone to the north, Zeus is so important.
Now, I want to ask you, Tim, because now highlighting the teams that like to soak up these
points since we have two games on Soulpoint before we go on to Worlds Edge, three back-to-back
to close out our 10 game series. It makes you wonder because the legend that ended up getting
banned off of that tie between Valkyrie and Newcastle ended up being the Valkyrie.
Oh, so you won't have the Skyward Dive to find these rotates, which could be very different
in the way that these legend bands have played out and the way that these teams perform on
on Storm Point.
Well, VK Gaming, as they pass through them,
they are also the seventh best team
out of our entire week here on Storm Point.
So what do you say we just get into it, VK?
Let's do it, everybody.
Game number six.
Back over to True Long's Storm Point.
We get to take a look at the fires,
just the blue box over there,
but we also saw the POIs earlier
and how these teams perform
in the way that they've been able
to secure really few most comfortable.
For fun going to Command Center,
where there will be that rain console,
to highlight over to our Game 5 winners, Wolves,
and the way that they were able to not only take that job,
but how are they going to convert it
to hold that first-place spot?
It's going to be really interesting
as we get into our first match on Storm Point,
knowing that sixth place overall on the leaderboard
is 42 points.
And if you're finding yourself on the outside looking in,
we'll kick things off over at Zeus with Wolves.
Got no name on the rate without being banned.
We saw what movement he had with Valk so it makes so much sense to slide him right on to race and make that play
Do we have a ring console?
I see a survey beacon up at Zeus and we're the tallest evac towers and if we're in this you know what that means
We're leaving zoo station. We've got to go elsewhere. Good. Look at the circle here. Dinos in North pad
Going to be super lucky with what they've got over there WGR Neo just towards their right already full sending
So for teams like lighten zip by mafia at lightning rod
You've got information available there.
You definitely want to make sure you're sending one person out to go grab the evo cash to the south side shopify rebellion flat
GK Aurora Aurora with our fans. You know what? I'm so sorry after that interview Vicki. I was like, I am number two
We found number one in our mouths and I mean you want to be able to put on a masterclass
It's difficult and it's important to highlight with a lot of these things already make it just rotate into that next zone
You would so soon
We know what these rotate ledges rather got the pathfinder race early
We have seven pathfinders in his lobby, but it's Watson was the most picked legend alongside Newcastle
But a new castle, you know at 55% and Watson at 65%
It's to find these bunker down opportunities. I'll stay naughty
Takes a long low shot from a distance. He's on the Bangalore by the way
He's got the wingman R9 in hand. Well here by the way, I'm sorry
But you just cannot catch a break curves that people pick up that KP and then is able to finish off
It looks like there is a crazy
fight happening over here.
JDG now moving up from the back end
here before trying to find the players
who dropped down into the hole.
This is actually really interesting,
right? We're foregoing playing Newcastle.
We're going with the Sparrow Bangalore
Watson and we're just going to go
hyper aggro in fight for everything.
We're seeing these teams out just rotate.
There is a fight in a pile of that
we once again saw in the feed.
I peed Neil who were in trouble wolves who are now going by the way from sushi talk about that big
Evac tower you could have lunch and still be able to control your own legend before finding your landing
They do find their own landing on the outskirts of wall
But it's a lot of these types of fights that you have to be careful playing off the back end of these crates
Pulling over to north pad. This is gonna be interesting
Tim talk about a little bit of a mix up here and trying to find your space with a lot of these teams
that have the ability to coexist.
Well, at least RRQ are holding this area.
They have new castles, right?
So should we pull out into the open water?
What we saw with them a lot in groups
is the Pathfinder place.
So you're going to have movement.
You're going to be able to throw down and open
so long as you don't get absolutely targeted
by a Sheila team like a Rampart or just all of that.
But you can lock it down and they move into the far back
and decide, let's stay here for now.
And I think that's a brilliant spot for them.
Especially with this comp, right? It's not like you've got to worry about the trip,
etc. I've started to see so many of these watsons here. See the pings and
they're just going to sit pretty together with the new castle. Some teams are getting torn
apart. We saw it earlier with Nia. Hopefully they are able to bring their fuse back into fruition
as we do have a quick pause here, but it's just highlighting the setting
of the big pilot that we currently have on the very northern side of Northpad. We know
But in the trenches these teams to coexist, it's going to be a lot of a hope
festive to try to boost up these evil shields for the teams that may have been denied the
information or even evil harvest on their quick rotate to situate themselves with these Watson cops.
I feel like this break is the perfect time to like hydrate yourself. You immediately see if they're like, we put our mic up,
we take a drink of water, wipe your hands off, you know, it's getting a little sweaty in here because we are literally in
in the halfway mark for our survival stage,
and at least our RQ got straight down under
before that boss hit.
We can talk about teams that are outside those circles,
right, that are still on their way up towards North Bat,
Zipline Mafia, Gen G gonna have some of the gnarliest rotations.
But you can see it on their faces, right?
Dinos, ninth place overall.
Less than 10 points outside the coveted top six.
I ran past DJ in the halls around here.
I was like, bro, we are rooting for you guys.
Like, get in there.
You guys look like you're just having some fun
on these fights for fun, if we're talking about fun,
or inside the top six.
They're feeling, it's actually kind of scary, right?
When you're in the fifth, sixth position on the top six.
So let's throw down and see what we can do.
Nags there on the right, Synthetic Center.
We'll get to Tyler here in just a second.
And it's always when it comes to like
these survivor lobbies, right?
In the survivor stage alone,
where these teams are gonna be changing the way
that they play as these games progress.
That's why you see these teams open up so aggressively
in the first game or two
because they wanna be able to soak up this KP
as quickly as possible,
so that way they have a cushion going in
because it's only six teams out of these 20
that will make it into the final round.
As we're making sure everybody's ready to go,
you talk about taking a sip of water,
it's getting a little hot in here,
but it's also the feeling of progression
because you also have to look at Aurora and what they have to do sitting in 10th place still,
but it's very little in terms of the gap between Aurora, Dinos, literally a two-point difference.
And then you look at the top six, we talked about it before, Tiff,
literally a two-point difference between JD Gaming and GKE Sports.
Yeah, and it's interesting, right, as I focus on Wolves.
I'll highlight yet again, right?
We were talking about them being the third best performing team on Storm Point.
So knowing that they have the capability to really maximize their points here
is exactly what they need.
But honestly, why do I get stressed out right now?
Like, I feel like it was, ah, I don't know.
I don't like halfway marks, right?
I don't like sending teams home, Vicky.
I don't either, but you know what it is
when it comes to land.
This is where legends are made.
And diamonds are made out of pressure,
so you gotta see how all these teams
are gonna fair off against each other
with the different legend compositions.
We've introduced now the Pathfinder of the Wraith
as a different iteration to the Palkhry Bland band,
especially when it comes to Storm Point 2, right?
And with no wats, and when you move on to game number seven
after we play out this current game six,
I mean, it's tough out here,
but just making sure that everyone's here
and ready to try to situate themselves
in these final end zones.
And if we're going up to North Pad, at least it's a variation.
And you know how difficult it is
to do so much fighting up there, right?
Into the trenches we go.
So knowing that if you don't have that new castle,
if you don't have the mobile shields
as you're rolling through since Valk isn't here,
that's why I love the path picks that are coming through.
All right, we're back into it, everybody.
Gotta keep you on your toes
when we take a look at the team over at BiJurassic.
It's Shopify who got the Surrey beacon
and are now rotating with the Zip Line.
And they've got the rampart as well.
That is so exciting for them.
And sure, they're outside the top 10,
but it's not like they haven't been in this situation before.
Group stages, you know, they've had a lot of those tribulations that they've had to face in order to lock it in and phony
Thankfully able to step in last moment in lieu of point for who we are just hoping is out there on the mend
Zapp has had some crazy pop-up moments through our group stages
We just need to string a couple fights together and next thing you know 120 plus point game. It's completely changed for you
Just being able to slot in because it would be difficult by the way
They're on a ceremony if it's not new on the other side of the longbow it's pure
harassing dinos chaos getting knocked from that and they've been trying to
share the other side of the leg of north bad while GK actually are starting to
find this rotate to on the edge of zone see how they're gonna be able to fare
against dinos and the likes of everybody else in north bad as we get to see the
side-by-side though stay naughty playing right below the rock while Shuby's just
trying to hold off her dear life.
Hopefully he is able to pop a shield bat.
Yes, as JDG now move up and VP, once again,
NIP2, are still finding themselves
in this fight over by Northback.
And the best part about being right here
is you can kind of lay low.
You see what floating's doing.
Sure, you're portal, and you try to get away.
Does floating, does he go in there?
Are we going to wait for them to come back?
This is so menacing, and he's kind of hoping.
He's like, all right, I'll go, I'll keep peeking.
But JDG are your gatekeepers on the southeast side of that circle.
Ty, on the other hand, that portal led them to Cascade Falls.
We're not done yet though as we look towards BKG.
They know because they're going to be fighting this fight versus PXX.
Again, we talked about the Rift QQ, Ridley survived, takes the portal back,
is able to get the shield swap, looking right behind them.
They're ready to cover this portal with the wads and fences.
Try me, they said.
The BKG now backing away, DCG, right alongside them.
It's a huge pile of, I mean everybody in this lobby
is finding themselves in this next zone.
Minus Gen G, TIE and Zipline Mafia,
JD Gaming are taking a roundabout position
into rotating from the southeastern side of the show
because they wanna get the survey we can info.
So they actually rotate on the outside of the zone,
such as Aurora 2,
because they wanna also get the ring console.
So they're taking their time trailing right behind EP
and the fight now over as Shopify Rebellion.
We saw them take that Zipline now
and are trying to take this fight up on the Hydra.
You definitely want to fight for this ring console
to get all the information you can.
And luckily, you put the AMP covers out,
blocked your line of sight.
And let's see.
The information that we gather sends us up to the north,
kind of out towards the right of North Pad.
We are going to be incredibly open for our end games.
And just like that with the information,
they are dipping away from flat.
These choke points that lead up to North Pad
are really difficult to pull through,
but also flat does need to get that information
from the ring console as well.
So Shopify leading is great, but PXX have also rolled in.
It's also great that they were able to get the info too,
right?
Like basically in the face after putting in pressure,
PXX now hanging out to the back end of checkpoint,
while flat had shown their face and Shopify lingering
about while Gen G up on the high ground
are trailing behind TIE.
This is an isolated fight.
I do know what JD gaming getting that survey beacon
after rotating outside of zone.
probably do see these two teams taking their time.
So this could be an opportunity for JD gaming
to get the KP that they need.
Remember how tight that bottom end between six and seventh
was looking like in terms of overall points.
So they could try to play this with Gen G
also having the evil harvester.
They backed away from Ty and now are moving up
to the North towards JD gaming.
Quick little look here.
You can see wolves have isolated themselves
out to the far northeast of the next circle.
Zip line mafia out towards the east from them
coming in from the low buildings outside of wall.
Shopify rebellion are carving their path currently up into that next circle.
Which trench will they play from?
We'll stay tuned for that.
JD Gaming is going to be in the choke point on the outside towards the right.
I'm really worried about the teams like Flat and PXX that have to come out of
checkpoint tie themselves and actually dive down south.
And we're going to rotate from that down B side of thing.
First pro will be theirself.
Really the good thing, how they're going to be able to find that rotate.
Like you have a evac as a question. It's gonna be so difficult world who have now found resources and down beast after getting the ring console
Laying on the outskirts of this zone, but they're getting sniped in the distance
I mean, I'm hearing long long bows from every single corner of the map. See NFP in some trouble, too
Hopefully they're able to get that reason or pin the side by side as a slowdown on the longbow
BKG
It's a back to back. I mean they get the next crack, but it looks nice the way that they've been bunkered down inside of that building
We saw them earlier preventing other teams from getting a survey beacon, which is why you have the rare like JD gaming
Who have the spare or even zipline mafia because they don't have to overcommit and getting that survey beacon information
You just line up the arrow and get the info
But this is why having a sniper is so incredibly important because these sight lines up in the north pad vicinity are so long-sighted and open
You constantly keep that pressure onto the teams diminish their resources and for fun are working to diminish
Deep Cross Gaming, they find Shau.
We don't necessarily get the full just yet, but we focus on our healing.
Because he's already so far in the open.
It's really tough, I mean even with the pylums that we're currently seeing at every corner to...
Yeah, I mean at least Deep Cross Gaming, they do have the altar, right?
So the reset will be there for them.
For Gen G and PXX, we highlighted earlier the checkpoint area.
The glass is here.
For Asia and Dexter saying side by side trying to breach the fortress PXX is laid
I mean with how quiet they've been so far they really definitely need this they do get the knock eventually and the one solo PXX
Got out of there before the 3P came because that's gonna be fun flat so no matter what it was at a loss for PXX
Now 4C flat to look at Gen G flat say okay
Well, we have the high ground originally we nano did drop down temporarily
They wanted a time that 3P properly and they know they're a little too late
That's why you see Tuesdays are holding off the high ground putting down the fence line from the zip line that leads you down
To where we saw Genji originally
But I know that Genji are either gonna rotate and commit to that northern choke from checkpoint or even wrap behind
Or VK gaming holding on to that building that we saw that replay it
All right with that kid you're gonna see a couple of things it shifts away from Wolves East towards location out towards the west
You also see JD gaming
leaving the north checkpoint, going south, and wrapping onto Gen G.
Those three are gonna fight, meanwhile RRQ, trying to hold down the location they moved into.
Oh my goodness, they did it again!
They made no way!
They chose that, they chose to leave that.
As VKG moved into their spot, they dropped down, and Gen G wiped them, dare I say, with ease.
I mean, like, as you mentioned, like, trying to take that fight, I mean, trying to take a round of a position too.
And you knew, by the way, that Gen.D. were gonna be there.
You scanned the Survey Beacon.
They still decided to take that fight.
And now they're the first team to go out in this lobby.
That is not what you want to risk
when in the overall standing,
you're literally like a two, three point difference
away from top six.
You realize we're 15 minutes into this game
when we just lost our first game?
Yeah.
That's the pace we're looking at.
Stormpoint, the center of our 10 game series,
has halted the fighting.
And to the north, we continue.
Checkpoint is gonna be difficult,
but ZipLine Mafia holding.
These pineapple buildings, I was curious.
They're outlining wolves out into the rocks
towards their right.
And with Pathfinder, we can essentially
kind of choose wherever we go.
We do have our sparrow oats available
and that can cause a lot of pain.
No way.
Anyway, he gets away with the rest.
That's actually crazy.
PXX, who were fighting as a solo,
back against the mountain.
Don't see me, I'm a mountain goat.
Actually ended up coming up with a movie
and getting the rest of the 10th year as DK Gaming though.
They tied their building now, get contested
with DCG on the outside base up,
holding on to the high ground,
looking right down below.
Will they meet their fate alongside DCG
while we get to see the fight?
You talk about the zipline.
As early zipline mob,
we have to talk to their fans,
have found themselves up on the high ground here.
King of the hill, we lose deep craft gaming to VKG
as they lay towards that fight.
Kaza takes a ton of damage, but excuse gets fought out.
Wolves are breaking them apart, hanging on the region.
They never knocked the new castle.
Crazy Kong, it's going to immediately pull no name up and say get back in it.
You've got the pine longs to regen your shields and cause that on his feet, back to the high ground.
Hold on, let that R and B to work.
But you're getting creeped by GK while also shooting at them from the floor,
hiding behind the hip barriers as Wolves have the number advantage trying to zip by the way.
You see the pull to play Kuzak now.
I guess Gets a little bit of breathing room here and looks to get the reset.
Neither of these teams try to over-extend spaghetti all over the floor with how messy that looked, honestly.
But it's a full three man versus a duo.
It's a side-by-side and fighting is happening everywhere, though, as VP down to a solo.
And it's so crazy to see how with their 18 squads on left, Ozzy's still alive, playing off the other side of the knockdown, though.
Looking to get this res.
Can he bait out because they're still KMC right to their right.
But a saving grace!
That's a slam down from a new castle wall.
It's a 4T pile-up!
Well, we have to rest from the other side. Call two.
Going crazy, but the two bucks onto Aurora.
Jen, get to get the finishing blow on the VK Gaming.
And just like that, Jen G stays healthy.
Back to the Digline Mafia.
They get a reset.
They get a full team of three.
But no name keeps the pressure on.
As they try to shrack them down,
Verna's Bro eliminated the Sparrow.
What?
Trying to make a hand-mary play.
An excuse has retreated to the top rock.
for free? Oh my god, maybe not for free actually. That's pretty expensive. I mean,
they needed a Black Friday deal here because now excuse gets taken down next to the Craver.
WGND has a Craver. Sinaw from E36 has a Craver and that is wreaking havoc in the north.
But we're still alive. Kazakh is still here. He keeps doing it. He keeps doing it. I mean,
You can just corner these craters in the direction and throw them forward.
GK actually saved them.
The best insurer, Zipline Mafia, could have found themselves in double Zipline though.
Which one am I gonna take?
You gotta figure it out.
Because now it's only up.
Look, how's that again?
As the solo, we saw the rest coming in.
We saw the Krabershot up in the feed.
And we're seeing Ziplines for days.
The importance of him staying alive inside the top six is vital.
Back to Gen.G.
PXX going for a wraith play.
And this is so insane, there's five teams
just ahead of them.
I mean, while Genji are just healing up,
there's a huge pile of happening by E36,
and I, P, KinoTrip, would love to see that fight
going down there, over by that choke
where the Serda beacon is, as well as flat,
trying to survive E36 eventually,
get eliminated, Genji now move up after healing up,
let's get eliminated.
Genji now holding on with their backs
against the wall to survive close to the ring.
10 squads left, K and C still in this right
alongside Gen. G that we saw before and IP2.
We saw Kira riding up the feed.
There's another team who has also been able to reset.
BXX eventually get eliminated
and all these teams are outside this next zone.
Mine is RQ, Gyno, TIE going up into the zone pool.
And the worst part about this is
your first, second and fifth place teams
are out of the lobby.
So all these teams getting points are vying to leapfrog over them.
Pina Trope has a member down.
Thanks, Secura.
Stinger Bolt.
And we're healthy.
Looking to the slide.
Can we get to the fence?
And do we even need to?
That was so clean from NIP, the piercing spikes going hand
and hand because they're one of a few teams.
Off to the catalyst.
Maybe honestly, the only team with the catalyst
is why it worked so well.
Seeing how NIP have been able to capitalize off a bunkering
down with this cat composition, the sparrow to add.
You mentioned the stinger bolt.
As we saw the noxingy, NIP, playing up the cost
with 33 total points right now.
That's so McLovin' of hold, lock in the catalyst,
and do plays like that.
They now setting a site straight on a gen gene,
Nuffa Cluster and L-Star to hold them at bay,
force them back.
We don't want them to rotate through here
because ninjas and pajamas will have a difficult rotate.
RRQ, Dinos, and Tide are the three teams in the next circle.
Holding the line, and you know what, Genki's in the door.
They're farming.
They're farming.
They do get knocked,
so at least one of them's a Zicky, but thanks, sir.
He is flying before the Nade at his feet.
Take them out, but they were fragging out.
They had 15 KP.
We are down to our last few squads,
five squads left here in this lobby.
Well, NIP, oh no, don't get made of here, right here,
but hold on real quick.
But they're forced to play against
one of the Zones closing in.
They don't have time.
In comes the mother load from dinos and ninjas and pajamas will fall.
Dinos with the high ground.
Dinos who start in Northpad took the ultimate height so early on.
We're on purple.
We have a pylon in the back pocket.
And now we get to look down and see GK, Ty, our RQ.
But GK have been sitting here for so long from the very beginning.
And as you mentioned to Dinos with their P.O.I. advantage,
down to our last four teams, T.I.E.
Dinos up on the high ground, R.R.Q.
playing up the low ground on the outskirts
where G.K. is situated.
Can I just say that Dinos have acquired eight kills
from their home P.O.I.?
Usually if you're not leaving your P.O.I.,
you lose the chance out on getting kills,
but they've made so much of it.
In the future with the Knuckle Huster,
you can constantly onslaught people at that.
They're already looking at T.I.E.
If they had that pylon gone from them, do you know how many Nuffa Wallsters would be sent on them?
Oh man, especially if like you are able to take care of that Gen in general too and you're trying to also take care of the Ambaric,
but it's gonna be impossible when you have to worry about the new Castle Wall trying to zap that up.
Really comes down to how this Mow the Load is gonna play off too because with our last four teams here,
it's important to highlight that dinos are tied with Zift-Line Mafia for top six.
If they get one more KP, even the placement points alone, they won't overthrow them.
But it wasn't for fun also not being here.
This could just easily be a shake-up within the top three
in the overall standings after these six games.
Staying on out of blast zones, closing in right behind her back.
It's time for TIE to make a move.
And RRQ and Dinos are five points away on the leadership.
Four through seven, then Keon, the Sheila in hand.
We're just going to keep on going.
Show my knee, I'll leave this here.
I mean, they're the only duo in the lobby
and TIE about to be out if they don't hold on.
You have to work with what they got, with the fact that they don't have their rate, that's very detrimental too.
It's not like they're going to have a porous, it's not like they're going to have stall potential when the final road ring does close in.
But after getting that not the original on the other side here, TIE has been in a lot of trouble.
TK are giving them the other half of the sandwich.
Our Dinos is looking at the RRQ now, move up TIE, get eliminated last three spots, and Dinos lose out on their fumes.
But they need to get a reset, and they do.
They're back up, and now setting their sights on the RRQ.
Can they hold both teams at bay? They have found themselves in the center
Drop has no wall in the back pocket. So he wants to let this fight go down
Yeah, it's having way too much fun
But this is the presence you have to show off when they're down to a duo chaos now taking a funky man
Go hop the Watson. He's setting up the perimeter. This is so smart. They're wrapping up a high drop
He doesn't know he puts on the wall to his left. They're looking at RQ RQ's also having a great game
but not getting the KP they think they need.
They have the placement.
They've been moved off as Tiles now fully send it
onto the duo.
They want to be able to get double top two here.
GK now down to a solo.
It's just the red part.
RQ was able to fight drops.
JV to those hitting the snow alongside DJ.
And Fili and a rather chaos here.
And Wissai no having their peer-alive advantage.
They are your game six winners with 14 KP.
26-point game, we take that all day.
You see the celebrations from the boys with Keshara in the back,
incredibly proud of what you're able to achieve.
Those are the kind of games that can change your lives.
They can cement yourself into the match point finals,
but it's so close at the top, Vicky.
It's so close.
It wasn't even closer, honestly.
If they didn't get the KP that they needed,
Taking the Flanking Angle right behind me came was perfect because they got the KP that they could get
Off the left over duo then they fully send it on to RQ and then they are able to take the dub
This sky rockets them from what seventh eighth place all the way up to first place in the overall standings with 59 points
And it's so wild to me when you look at the legend
compositions that we had in our top three teams and the difference of how much it made.
The Fuse there at the end, from J. Future, throwing his ult, it's not getting intercepted
by a pylon to actually land it.
Pricy was the Watson at that point for RRQ, who were playing Newcastle and Pathfinder,
dropped the sill up with a Newcastle for your GK, so like with Dino's not having a Newcastle,
they have to get aggro.
It's so crazy to see like Fuse having the perk where you could use a Mullilove through the wall, how it interacts there with so many new castles too in the lobby, them not running it themselves because they wanted to play while having the altar so that way they could use that void nexus and just reset if they have to holding onto the high ground.
Look at this 14 Kp first place spot over on their POI in your pad with the chaos that we saw happening all the way on the north side
Even the teams that were trying to get aggressive trying to find these fights in these tight chokes that would have left over two checkpoints
This is where you like to see from dinos, especially when we have one more game left on strong point
As you look at these points, especially on this back half side, I want to give flowers to Gen.G.
Despite going out in sixth place, they walk away with 15 kills.
That is so many. Now we start thinking about what that cutoff for sixth place may be on the top 20.
You are looking for around 60 points. That is how close the scoreline is after our six games.
So with dino's grabbing 26 points moving to the metop with 59
That is at an average of just over eight points for game back
26-point game alone covers three games for them out of a 10 game series
I like the fact that they were able to get that where I think it was like match two was like one of their better games
Where they got like four Kp and they had like triple double zeros
Going on throughout the course of these last few games dropping that banger
allowed him to go up in the overall standings,
but can they maintain that momentum is the question?
As I'm hearing that, Reinde's got an interview for us
over to the floor, take it away.
Thank you so much, Chiff and Vicky.
That was a great cast, great win by Dinos
and a great player here with NIP Curiv.
Talking about what's going up,
your tenth right now in the standings,
what's going on in this lobby
because obviously stakes are as high as they can get.
I mean, the lobby fails like really normal right now.
average, like the last one, we just like got a lock in these last few games.
We had really bad games at the start, but I think we'll pick it up now with the
boys, like I just picked Sparrow, so feels good coming back about the Sparrow.
So yeah, like we just want to rock some some points now and just feel secure for
the next stage.
How big is it having a guy like Raven in your back pocket?
A coach who's been there and lifted several championships supporting you in
a moment where you have to pull out all the tricks of the trade in order to survive?
I mean, Raven?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, the best coach in the world, what can I say?
Like, he's always good with the guys when he lands, you know.
Has a pretty strong opinion on comps and stuff like that.
So, he doesn't feel like having a coach, but a fourth player, you know?
Like, he has a lot of game sense about the game, understands, like, things really good.
And he's just not, like, alone on the game, but just like, as a person,
he's like, really good when he comes to, like, personal stuff,
or you gotta talk to him or somebody.
He's like, pretty good guy, yeah.
Final question before we move on.
I'm sure of your journey representing Argentina, but more importantly representing South America.
You've said it coming here.
You wanted to win a championship for that region.
How do you feel now knowing that there's four games left to decide if you're playing for
one tomorrow?
I mean, nothing has changed, you know, when I get that trophy for South America, like
as always, I'm feeling better right now.
Four games left.
We're going to have to lock it in with the team, but I think we got this year.
All right, NIP at death's door.
Can they survive?
Currently in 10th.
So that is a good spot to be for now.
And of course, Barney standing by with another team
who has a big fan base here, VKG with QQ.
Very true.
I'm joined by, let's face it, EWC Royalty.
Your reigning champs have got QQ here from VKGaming.
I just want to quickly ask a little bit about yesterday
because you kind of came out of the group stage
a few points short of making it directly
to the finals on Saturday.
So I want to get an insight into what the discussion was
like last night, when trying to mentally prepare for today's matches.
I didn't play well in the first two rounds, so I was the one who lost.
And today, we played the same game for the first three rounds, and then we did a good job.
And we did our best to play well.
It was actually, if we had to look at what the main errors are made, it was actually
in the first two rounds, we played it absolutely atrociously and I think there's no one's fault
but ours.
For today, our strategy was see how the first three rounds develop and base our strategy
on that and I think right now, as you can see, things are probably not looking so hot
right now but we're still trying our best.
Tell you what though, that's a sign of a true champion owning your mistakes but then looking
to try and fix and build on it as well.
Now QQ, obviously we've already mentioned this,
EWC reigning champions right now.
It's a question that gets thrown around a lot
at events like this, but does that come
with a lot more pressure to perform at events like EWC?
Now that you've got a focus, obviously, we've only got about four maps left until we decide who makes it through from survival stage into tomorrow.
Top six seems quite far away, but we've seen entire lobbies shift in the space of one game, especially in the group stage.
We saw that yesterday. So do you have that belief? Do you have that positivity in you right now? Do you feel that you can make it to tomorrow?
We still have the last four rounds left, but we also know that in the last four rounds, including the last four rounds, there is a possibility that we will be able to lose all the rankings in one round.
Can you tell us if you still have the hope to make it to the tournament?
I'll do my best.
Oh, you're my absolute best.
That is all we need from UQQ.
Thank you so much for joining me in this interview.
Right now, we're going to head over to a very quick break,
but don't go anywhere because we've got plenty more Apex left to go.
And it's the survival stage. Four maps left. Let's do this.
The body was built to move.
Not trapped at a test in one singular posture for 12 hours a day.
It's time your chain evolved.
This is Secret Lab Type Evo.
Ergonomically engineered for you.
Gamers.
Hybrid workers.
Officers.
Back in your every move.
He thinks he can come in here and play my game.
He knows nothing but gold!
Neither one, nor done.
Had a pretty good fight on that one.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, and then see it, hop hop, roll it out now!
It's really good.
I think we should all work hard.
Let's fight from the bottom.
Six matches are done of ALDS at EWC survival stage, and boy, that litter ball just keeps on changing now in first place as Tip was saying earlier, it's Dinos after that win, graceful.
I mean, as the heat is rising not only in this tournament, but in the building, please, everybody, remember to hydrate and drink water.
It is insanely hot right now. I would like to say Dinos, one of the teams that actually still played alter despite not being banned,
banned, abusing the fact that she is one of the most broken legends in the game and they
are getting super value out of it.
So it's going to be fun to see if anybody catches up on that and they're going to copy
that or not.
But so far, wow, they are bringing the heat.
Yeah, some of these squads, I mean, they just need to be able to get a good win.
And when we're talking about good wins, we're going to be talking about Wolves because in
game five, they ended up with 26 points.
This was a squad that when last time you saw us after game three, they were at the bottom
and now they're totally sitting in fifth place.
this is exactly what they do.
They can reverse you and change it in any moment.
So, like, Wolves is quite a dominating squad on the edge,
and this is where they generally collect most of their kills.
And it's very exciting to watch, but it is very risky,
especially when you're going up with these other edge teams as well.
But, look, I did say top six.
Can I tell the future?
Yes, because I'm in Australia and we're ahead of time.
How do you feel about that?
I mean, yeah, Wolves is doing what they need to do.
They're one of those teams where it's like, you know,
They can drop a couple of zeros because they try to fight for the best spot or they can drop the 24 26 point games where it
Propels them to the top of the leaderboard
So they're doing what they need to do number one team in the region and I you know
It's just it's about moving forward what they have it and trying to close out these last four games to stay in that top six
Yeah, we just saw actually that interview with VKG the defending champions at EWC you could tell just oh man
It did not look good in regards to like body language
The player was all the way down. One team that I know is wanting to make sure they make a bit of a comeback here
It's gonna be Gen.G as well. I know what are those comps looking like Graceful for Gen.G?
I mean I will say so initially going into this match the cutoff was around 40 ish points
If we just going based off of that it could be 80 by the end of this plus minus 10
You know always say that if it's top or bottom heavy
But as you said in regards of communication, I would also like to bring in a roar enter
I went into and listened to everybody for everybody at home,
maybe multi-ULJs, you can get your in-game comms from the teams that you're supporting.
Aurora under a lot of pressure, not on the same page, call for a plan, couldn't follow up.
Gen G, one of the teams that speak Thai, luckily I understand a little bit being Thai myself,
is that they are absolutely on the same page, super solid.
They might not have been able to get that big game just yet, they're kinda in the middle of the pack.
However, with the comms, they're definitely a huge chance of life.
They're on the sand page, called for something,
went back, say everybody's on the sand page at old paces,
and I'm super excited to see if they can wake up.
Yeah, don't forget about 60 Place, Shopify Rebellion.
I mean, this is what is also happened to play with the sub.
They truly have Boney in their roster.
Yeah, I had the chance to talk to Jen Burton,
obviously, you know, teammate of Boney for crazy thieves.
And I was kind of trying to get the idea
of what might be going through Foney's head,
obviously being an IGL himself, but not IGLing the team.
And there's a butt ton of pressure on Phoni right now.
Not only does he sort of sit in his head
and try to calculate out the gains
to then produce that to the team,
obviously he's now playing anchor.
So this is something that he hasn't played
for a very, very long time.
And, you know, I think it was much four or five
where, you know, they were looking like
they could have taken that down,
but unfortunately it just didn't look like
the chemistry was there between the team.
But, you know, Phoni is an exceptional player
and incredibly adaptable as well.
Yeah, honestly, just to piggyback off that with SR,
I mean, Boyful is not replaceable.
You know, he's a player who has some of the most firepower
in the league, and that's just a role
that they've not really had to fill with their team.
He's been someone that can just clean up damage,
and it would be an Olympus game specifically,
where they had the first knock,
and they ended up losing the fight,
and that looked like that was about to be their big game.
I think it's just in those situations alone
that you're missing out on just that player
that makes the big plays, the game changing ones,
the 1v3s or whatever it might be,
and Phoni hasn't had to be that slayer on a roster.
This is a position that he has had to be in, where he's not as vocal and honestly it looks like they're struggling
and maybe by the end of this look, they might just hand over the reins to him, let him IGL and then, you know, put Sanyu back in the spot he was when they did win their event together.
I will say though, after watching that game on Olympus, especially around growth towers that ended, they were missing Khoifun.
You can definitely feel the presence of their Khoifun in many people's eyes, the star player he is, to be able to shine through and carry those flights.
those fights. There were many moments where I go, if Kofil was here, they probably would have
won this fight, because he really is that factor that can just immediately turn fights around.
And you know, we talk about it all the time through the likes of Zayn,
Effect, etc. Kofil is definitely that one player on their team. So his, his missing is definitely a,
you can feel it. There was also a situation, you know, I was watching the kill feed for only
knock two, and then it just didn't go anywhere from there. So it's like, they've got the fire power,
but why is that not connecting between the teams? So it's very interesting.
Yeah, it's one of those things. Just too much short of a time, honestly.
Yeah, even yesterday, I think it was yesterday when we ended up happening,
when we saw them getting to a fight, and I remember you saying, it's like, where's
Sponi? Where's Sponi? He's nowhere to be seen. And I think if this squad would have
had a little bit more time, maybe it would have been different.
Yeah, I mean, we've seen it be different. The last time they really played together,
they won the event. So I mean it's just a character change of kind of filling in a role where, you know,
Phony is used to, if he gets the Noxie, like, yeah, let's push this, push this, push this,
but if you're not the IGL, you can't be the one to be like, yeah, we're going to do this. You
know, you can't like take control because then all of a sudden there's just this weird battle of
who's making the calls, who am I listening to? And honestly, it's just, I hope they find their
groove. It's been a bit of an unfortunate, you know, showing at this event, but they are still
one of the best teams in North America. And just, I mean, honestly, at this event in general.
Well, I see maybe they'll be able to switch it around a little bit because there's some other
squads. I mean, we've got Aurora down there in 11th place, VKG, the defending champions. I know
they're going to start feeling that pressure, but there's also other competitions happening here at
EWC 26. So let's go into an Aramco Club Championship update with Glitter Explosion.
Back for another Club Championship update here. We're over at the Allianz Vault with Trav because
A lot has been going on in Fatal Fury.
I need you to update everybody on what's been going on.
Yeah, we've literally just now wrapped up the group stage.
It's been absolutely electric today.
So many upsets.
The main story I think is that Falcons are no more.
What?
Fatal Fury.
Five people, four, five Falcons I should say, came in
and zero remain heading into the knockout phase.
So all of them have been taken out in the groups.
Vitality only have one as well and they brought three.
So it's been a...
Wow.
It's been a tough show in for Vitality, I will say.
that that is tough for sure, especially when all these teams are still waiting to see if they
put some points on the board for the club championship points wise. So I mean,
I don't know if that's what you expected. It's not what I expected. Super diverse day four for the
knockouts in terms of clubs as well. It's, you know, we've got reject, we've got Waybo,
we've got Virtus Pro Vitality. They're all in there. So a big chance for some of these guys
to get some points on the board and obviously run away from Falcons too. Absolutely. You know,
All of our teams are going to be hunting down Falcons as the defending champs from last year's club championship final, so still early days, but lots more to come.
We'll check in a little bit.
Thank you, Glitter and Trabnouse.
We're getting ready here for the final four matches.
We reversed Cursor Team.
RRQ.
All of y'all said that they weren't going to make it, and right now RRQ is sitting in second place.
Lace, what happened?
I knew this was coming to haunt me.
I definitely did and even Twitter knew it was coming to haunt me as well.
But the reverse cast worked and I'm so incredibly happy anyway.
So let's go on.
OK, Snipe just quick.
Are they going to make it?
Yes or no?
Four games left.
I mean, if they start, I mean, they get first, second,
or they get 15th and under.
So right now they're sitting at the top of the leaderboard.
It looks like it's looking good for.
OK, all right.
I see you going there with that.
Not sure answer.
It's OK.
Well, let's see what's going to happen here on the seventh game of survival stage at ALGS at EWC 26,
Dan Gaskin and Anson. Take it away. Can Arke you make it? Or no?
It's a good question. We'll have to wait and see if they can make it. Of course,
we've only got four games remaining. One more on Stormpoint before the back end is dominated
by Worlds Edge. Three back-to-back Worlds Edge will conclude our series down. I want to know who
You've got your eyes on though because we are in the latter stages of this series
And we're gonna have to send some team time interesting that the desk is talking about our cubes
Here's one of the squads I wanted to focus on they have been an incredible
Stormpoint team throughout this tournament and still are clearly the world's edge
They've been pretty dreadful. They've only found four points on world's edge so far
This tournament has been their worst map by far
They have to capitalize here on storm point to ensure they put enough points on the board that they can stay in those
qualification places without relying on to it putting too many points in on
World's Edge. Who else to get your eyes on? I know you were looking at a couple of
teams with different reasons. Give me the juice. The same situation for
Wolves. They're a good Storm Point team but struggling on World's Edge so they'll
be a team that definitely needs to prioritize Storm Point points as well.
But then on the other side you've got Dinos. Dinos are currently leading right
there. A team who have looked incredible. They actually get stronger when they
move into World's Edge. They arguably in the best position out of anyone at the
moment because not only are they at the top of the leaderboards, but they've got a map where they have dominated time and time again.
Well, reminder, top six will stay in the tournament, will qualify for match point finals tomorrow.
One of the greatest spectacles in all of eSports. Unfortunately for the other 16, it will be going home today.
So 14 is my maths is terrible. You raised your eyebrows and quite rightly will be going home.
But for now, the attention turns from my maths and how bad it is over to store point.
And things start to get interesting now with the legend bands.
This is something we have not seen so far this tournament as we have match seven.
Typically in the group stages, we only had the six.
We get Watson band going into match seven,
which now means the controller classes where we start to turn our eyes toward.
How are you going to get that ring console?
Are you going to use some of the other legends that can change their ability
so they can get ring console?
For example, it completely changes the composition.
Also being one of those options for sure.
And Dino's have gone for that.
Now, when you look at compositions here,
usually there's a theme isn't there when we're looking at kind of a
Have a match five a match six even the first three or four in the series now
We're starting to get a bit weird now
We're starting to get a little bit funky we've seen catalyst pathfinder race sparrow Watson fuse in the lobby as well
There are so many different legends Bangalore is popping up a fair bit as well that makes it very very interesting to judge
How you're going to take a fight you need to recognize and identify
the team will go up against. You
have to. Otherwise you're going
to be in a position where you
know if you miss time, one of
their abilities, one of their
ultimate so you can find
yourself getting absolutely
destroyed by one of them. If you
don't have some sort of counter
available to you and that is
even more amplified when we get
to the final circle as well
because now these legend bands
are so apparent. We will get to
a final circle where we may have
three teams who are completely
different in terms of their
composition. You have to take
advantage of what you have
available to you now. The exact
Now, PXX have lost one.
They have, and this is because the zone is going all the way north towards the wall.
Great news for Ninjas in pajamas and desperate news for Ninjas in pajamas as well.
They have to perform any last four games if they want any chance of making it through to the match point finals.
Four finalists are going to get that knock.
They're not going to get any more off the back of it, but another team is going to be very happy.
Once again, we're where the zone is going.
It's Wolves Esports. Olympus, you can say what you want about Hammond.
It's not going to be involved anymore because Olympus is gone, but landing on the northern side of the map and having great priority from Zoo Station over to Wall Walls have a great spot once again.
Oh, Flaa lost one as well. Chopper fight rebellion, who also are looking for points. They've lost one of the road, but it's a two versus one now.
Now there's going to be taken down, and Chopper fight rebellion can take full advantage of this.
Two versus one, I believe. There's still one player from Flaa alive.
It's a QJ who's trying to scarper away there.
Either way, that aren't out yet.
They are down, but they certainly aren't out.
They are scarpering up the hill,
and Shopify Rebellion are chasing them down.
Zynu leading the charge here on the Sparrow.
Oh, that was unblocked to make sure that they weren't just completely wiped there.
One player just throwing themselves in front of the enemy's way,
so that the last could escape.
The Shopify Rebellion saying,
actually, we're not going to make this too easy for you,
because this is so far away from anyone else on the map right now.
Shufflefly Rebellion, they really need that Kp because they really need points
down in 14th position at the moment. Only the 26 points.
They are 22 points behind that cutoff.
And it's already becoming quite a significant amount.
It's a straight way here for Shufflefly Rebellion fans and for Zaynou,
just couldn't close the gap in time.
Not running a legend that can cut down that space.
He's going and the northern side of it.
Nioh trying to work their way up hill at the moment.
And Zipline Mafia, who is deep at the back of the zone,
are not going to make it comfortable for them.
Numerous reticles are going to be trained on to Nioh
as they try and force their way towards Zone.
Being held up elsewhere, is that Nioh are now pinned.
Backwards down.
As I get that kill, I have to grapple back,
but that's the beauty of being a pathfinder.
I'm just worried about some other bullets coming at you from another side as well, but
this one, Matthew, doing well.
Oh, the last one.
That's us.
As Neo will be our first team wiped out of this lobby, and they're just going to have
to watch from the lobby screen now.
The Zipline Matthew is just trying to fight for this northern side, and underneath them
is going to be Wolves.
Now, Wolves dropped over to a zoo station.
Interestingly, Zoo Station, the best POI that has been performing so far this tournament,
with the most wins as well, where the Wolves can add one more to that tally, and that's
to be an interesting factor when we get into match point finals with some of these POIs.
What do you prioritise? Do you prioritise something that picks up a lot of points or something that's
been picking up a lot of wins? The teams who are quite far away from zone right now, one of them's
on your screen, Aurora. 32 points, not the worst, but not the best at the moment for them. Shopify,
we saw a little bit earlier, they're moving past Launchpad. Gen G, who had a very, very impressive
game. We saw a few moments ago on that Northpad ending. They are all the way to the east of
Stormcatcher right now, collecting some EVO.
A little bit closer to the zone though,
we've got RRQ on our screens,
and we've also got E36, very, very close by.
Well, I said RRQ have to capitalise
on their Stormpoint priority here
and how they perform on this map.
They want to try and hunt down E36,
but E36 have also been right up there
in the fourth place at the moment.
Holding one of those qualification positions
would be quite something to see them progress
into those matchpoint finals.
Silence any doubters, but of course,
They put a champion on their team as well.
It's great to see Obli on the stage,
and after their win earlier, it was very calm, their reaction.
They knew they had to focus on the task at hand.
DCG have lost someone. They get the res.
It's VKG.
I think we're doing the damage from a distance.
How many Gs do we have?
Thank goodness, GG on the lobby.
DCG with the reset here.
should be safe at the bottom of this building for quite some time.
But they will have to work a little bit further north as the game progresses.
Now, Synap, he's getting creative here, alongside Jizna.
Surprise!
Sparrowball goes in, Roy. He gets his shield broken.
This hand's going to be down and E36 walk up onto this.
The trap was set and they fell for the cheese.
Stubbing your toe, filing your taxes and getting outbursted in 8px Legends, they are all up there in the work, things you can go through.
DCG, sadly, they will feel that, but they only lost the one at the moment, but they have been quartered here. They're penned in.
But VKG, having a little bit of a hover.
QQ just says, what's going on here, lads?
That shield back was bumped just in time, but Syngham doesn't miss a bullet with that cart.
That 836 staying healthy enough here, that they should be good to fight off the potential push.
Real up to get finished, and QQ actually stole one of those kills away, so the right ball was good from him.
It was just the one member of VKG at the time, and all the meanwhile, VKG are now being pressured by JDG.
That's possibly taken.
This is an incredible insight from JDG, to be able to spot that one, and now VKG have to go back because they've been forced away.
Yeah, this is going to be a straight flight, they have no other choice.
JDG, waiting on the end of that ball,
and seeing that VKG overextended to third party.
And it looks like E36 are out of there.
VKG get lucky.
But do they? They've now lost their position.
They still have to transition from south to north.
They're now going to be held out by teams.
They were in a position where you could actually pick up a lot of points here.
So now you really have to change your frame of mind.
Do instead of looking for getting to the late game,
you start to look for more kills and more kp on this southern side
Quickly the game can change
and quickly Zayni finds out the full teams inside that building
Zap gets absolutely obliterated as well
as Obbi finds the kill
you can see immediately
Shopify and Rebellion hit the Void Nexus to get out of there
they did not like the look of that
Zap took too many bullets for his liking
and the same could be said for Zayni
when he hit that Void Nexus as you mentioned
QQ again
this being a nuisance
to the left of the right. The
right. The champions here have
the champions here have quite a
lot to do to still catch up
the leading pack. But in the
sky is T I E flying into wall
and let me tell you it's very,
very busy for any somewhere to
land here is going to be
extremely, extremely
difficult. But. That's their
found. A little place to go home
for now. Get that castle
down as quickly as possible.
as he excuses Hemlock in his hands trying to delete that castle wall but now
that they've allowed them to land now they've allowed them to set up TIE now a
problem for the likes of Zip Line back here. What a fight this is regional final
winners from Amir regional final winners from Apeback North as well.
4TIM, IFR, FCAM, what a career it's been, ups and downs, but always historic moments
at LAN, can it be another one?
Uh-oh.
They're getting zone-wrapped.
And it's Aurora, who moved all the way from the north side, round the zone, taking a little
tick of damage on their way to do so, but now they can walk downhill with everybody in
the lobby in front of them.
Aurora they have a lot to do 11th place 32 points. Let's jump into a listening and see what the cops like for Aurora
Again the gas blinks split as fuck when some close we can fight these guys. I think we can fight them now
They're fighting on us
And then but this guy's not gonna trip it. They're fucking hot one. Yeah, they're not I
Think with our comp one says on close we can kill them. It's pretty nice. Okay, we just play here and here
They have the same road but they have a fight.
We can try to pinch them, come.
Can you slow walk on the left side?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, do it. Do me to distract him.
No, no. Actually, we can later.
Watch out for Sparrow kills.
Do it now, do it now.
Be careful.
Okay, I'm picking.
Close.
The gun is dropped.
Spread against. I'm broken.
One is finished.
I was at the water.
Nice killing.
Two Sparrow is finished.
You got Sparrow cut.
I'm playing with you. I have wall. I'm with you again. Yeah, I'm walling off.
You heard the problems, you heard the plan, not as effective as they wanted it to be though.
Gingy survived even after really good initial damage from Aurora. Aurora has to be careful now because this fight has been a little too long
And TIE are taking a look at it.
And actually, a few teams are as well now.
But there's the first knock.
There's Zicky. He's fallen.
Aurora, we know they have to be careful here.
They have to make sure they stay healthy enough
to get a reset.
Yarkinel has to use the Bangalore Smokes
to try and get to his teammates.
But you mentioned TIE.
They're moving in to look at this.
And Genji aren't finished out yet.
It's a 1v1. Aurora are dead.
Trying to force the fight onto Genji.
And it's the same thing that's happening.
Forcing another fight, taking too long with it as well, not being able to finish it off.
But now, TIE can potentially reap the rewards here down in the tunnel, but they have to be careful too.
When they extended down to this southern side, GK just took the position away from them,
but ZipLineMathia say, we'll take the fight with you instead!
Casak just stands above them and goes,
Oh boys, welcome to my domain.
And now he decides there's a few too many of you.
I don't like the odds of this fight.
Smart man.
Backs up instead to the rest of his teammates
on Zip Line Mafia.
So I get a pop.
It's here he, wrapping back towards there in his spot.
Jendi is still alive by the way.
He's 36 though, might not be alive for very long
because VP are pushing them flat
but eliminated in the meantime.
The X-X excuse me, we were taken down about a couple of minutes ago.
And now at the fourth stage, six will be joining them.
The south side has only signs of close.
It's getting very, very busy.
Percy has to smoke off the LIS here to try and get easy flashback on in speed.
Well, VK Gaming and Filmwell are staying alive on that southern side.
And they are a mix. Quite a few teams though as are VP.
And VKG now with the scenery they've been able to put themselves in.
They actually have a few angles that they can hide behind.
And VP sadly, er, just dropping one by one. They are using knockdown shields now to avoid the gunfire from 4-5.
Tassimaster is last alive. One of my favourite rates in the world to watch is on your screen right now. That's QQ.
Jumps into the void to get back to his teammate Kasa here. They haven't quite finished off VP as yet. 3KP already for QQ.
There's something I want to highlight. When we're talking about zone, when you're talking about Godspot, and you're talking about a team that needs it.
It needs it. Ninjas in pyjamas are set up for success.
The only team in the building inside the zone.
We've had a few moments already in this tournament where NIP have definitive moments in their tournament.
And it is another one right here.
They are presented with an opportunity to put big points on the board to catch the lobby leaders.
Already they find themselves 14 points adrift.
Now, TIE, who worked pushing Gen.G earlier, are going to move into zone.
And again, it's thanks to a Wraith as well.
Well, GK is trying to bully them, because they realise they have to go to the north, but ZipLine, Mafia and Kajak
showing what pathfinder can do. The rest of his teammates have joined them, and they're trying now to pinch
GK, East Boston
They're going to have to right ball out themselves
A couple of evacs are going down, and with the two teams in front of them moving
It's time to take the disguise here for the ZipLine, Mafia, and they know how to do it better than anyone
Yeah, this is going to be ugly now for these southern teams. I'm expecting about four to go down on this next rotation
There's just not enough room for all these teams to play.
Well, the thing is, this is a blind evac.
Remember, there's no Valkyrie, no passive scan.
They're just gonna be looking at what they can see
and hoping they find something from their POV that looks open for funds not having funds.
They are getting nuked up on this high ground.
Nades left, right, and centre.
Tyla left, they don't know. Trying to play behind the knockdown shield, but here comes Shopify.
Slack cleans it up and Shopify get the KP.
Shopify Rebellion's starting to put some points on the board.
And maybe you can capitalize on some of these teams that are arriving late as well as four funny sports with that elimination
They are just outside of the top six of Gen.G losing players as our VP
I know he's also struggling on their move in and this is what I'm talking about
It's all hell breaking loose on this approach Gen.G VP eliminating from the lobby
Kazak trying to pop a battery behind this knockdown shield but shopper fire a bellion a Q and hour
We're gonna finish this off that stinger bot is going to sting Kazak
he's gonna pop the battery but he hasn't got the time to do so just about I
think he's still there and he gets that bad off but it's the last member of life
sounding it's gonna be a team that comes in from the Reds chopper rebellion say
look maybe we can get in and pick up a few more but then they know when to
retreat as Zipline Mafia actually with the attention turned towards Shopify
rebellion will be eliminated as Dino thousand one what can you do?
Ryce! Ryce goes down!
But Dinos will go down permanently.
Nine squads now remain, half the lobby.
Has been eliminated here. Can RRQ get a reset here?
Easy Flash has to back up himself to try and get healthy,
but this is the building where everybody
wants to play the red.
VKG up on the high ground,
inside of the building, JVG, and just outside the duo of RRQ.
An RRQ would love to try and create more of a gap between themselves in 7th place.
Remember, they're at first right now. It's a 14-point gap between themselves and 7th.
They want to extend that as much as they can going into the next.
Because they have been underperforming on World's Edge.
But Easy Plash of Pricey still is a duo.
Now, I'll show them a fight rebellion. I have a difficult journey here.
Because they're being pressured from the north of Walsy Sports.
One thing that certainly helps a difficult journey is having this weapon in your hand.
And maybe even this weapon as a backup, a Krabber L-Star double care package combo.
It's one thing to have them, you've got to put them to use.
It's where you go from here though, if you try and head north, wolves have got such good eyes.
Now you've got to use those void passages just to stay alive, it's looking pretty dicey here for Shopify.
Only probably desperately waiting for a smoke to come back, they get the smoke down through it.
The KG have been eliminated in the meantime.
Wolves down to just one, crazy come the last standing member.
as ninjas in pajamas now make their play to play the root of that one building
that might hold their success in its hands. Wolves are gone, RRQ also eliminated,
six squads now remaining and somehow Shopify reset. Wolves going down was massive for Shopify
Rebellion's chances but it's NIP at the moment in the best spot you could possibly be in.
Not only can they pick up potential KP, but also when it comes to Zone they're the only team on the North.
Shuffle 5 Rebellion, try to make it this replay for somewhere safe in zone, aren't able to
do so because KNC were holding down this spot behind the Newcastle wall, behind the Rampart
walls as well.
And you can say they saved about so many teams in this lobby.
But with the game slipping away, you have to make the most of this.
But three teams have the same composition.
They're eliminated from the lobby, but they also had that race at Newcastle and Rampart available to them.
That's the three.
And for JDG, they're running the Sparrow as our NIP.
And there's one core stick. JDG still running the core stick.
Just think about how much that gas could affect this final circle.
And then NIP have the catalyst.
They also have the fuse.
He's all motherloading this end game. Could go crazy.
Team 2 are going to be safest for the longest, TIE and GKE sports. They are centre zone.
Now for NID here, because they control the whole north and they have a cat, they can just dark veil,
cut off the entire sight line, make all of the other teams fight and then just mop things up. That's the simple terms.
And champs got down, JDG are making the play here to try and swing and clean this side
of zone onto TI, but the new castle wall, the rampart walls, we get so difficult to
do.
Now I'm done with the Krabber in his hand, but only two players to work with him.
What's the peak?
And see if he can pick up a big shot.
But K&C cannot connect right now.
That's probably the one team you don't want to be looking at here.
and not the focus if you are going to drop you're going to worry about GK because Sheila is here rating supreme
NIP now make their move though JDG two of them will fall to coal and vape the passive spikes go out
JDGaming will follow and the last teams remaining right below where NIP find themselves the dog may
will cut off the zone as NIP waits for GK and TIE to do the heavy lifting.
It's just patience, but GK, there's a wraith behind, it's a port and they could chase these.
The Coles are where? And when TIE fall in the piss, it spikes go down again.
It's a matter of time here, surely. For NIP to make the most of the zone, the most of the
opportunity and shot goes down, ninjas and pyjamas come to life!
And they get that win that they so desperately needed here and they pushed themselves up into those qualification spots.
Fourth place, NIP now hold. And ever since they had that northern side it was as simple as just being patient as always with Apex Legends.
The dark veil came out at just the right time. I did like the attempt from GK to do something different with the raceball.
With the wraith ball, maybe you're able to bamboozle them a little bit.
But at NIP, they stay calm, they stay focused,
and they get the points they needed.
And there are still three matches remaining.
It is not job done yet for any of these teams in the top six.
So many teams in the last four or five matches have made the most
of an opportunity when the zone has come their way.
That's another great example. We saw it from Worms on Olympus.
Gifted a lot of zones. NIP get gifted one here, and everybody is making it count.
That has been the difference maker for so many of these teams.
But it's also sometimes that we see those opportunities slip through the fingers.
They're not making those mistakes at the moment.
That's the quality of the lobby we're seeing.
With the zone comes your way, everyone's making the most of it.
And these are the reactions. That's what's different from one side to another.
And even though GK would have known they were never the favourites in that fight,
they will still be proud with the amount of points
I'm on my first one. I'm on
my first one. I'm on my first
they've been able to put our
month is from K on place. Don't
leave him hanging for too long.
As GK even though they didn't
win. They are still in second
places, 63 points, and we are
starting to create a little bit
of a gap from our lobby leaders
to the rest of the chasing
pack in the moment. I mentioned
RRQ in first on 64. Wolves are
in seventh on 50. That is a 14
point difference. Now sure that
They do start to get towards that 80 that we were suggesting may be a rough cutoff point, but it's a 25 point game for NIP are incredible.
America's winners, when we look to how they dominated through the region, they struggled here in group stages, but now in the survival stage, they're coming to life.
TK Esports 11 points for them, not a huge amount of KP alongside the placement.
We look down at the bottom.
There's a couple of teams there which we talked about struggling a bit and they're continuing to struggle.
Now let's talk about the cutoff down. Let's talk about the overalls.
Let's talk about the series because that's what really matters here.
Remember, top six will stay in the tournament, will qualify for match point final tomorrow.
Everyone else will go home. Talk to me about the cutoff.
So team RRQ at first, GK in second, Gyno's third, NIP fourth, enter fourth, 36 at fifth, and Zipline mafia are in sixth.
are in six. Now 52 points is
where Zip Line Mafia currently
sit. We were guessing around
80 points as graceful with
alluding to it might drop down
to somewhere in the 70s as well.
It's always difficult because
it depends on how many points
have been gained by the top
rather than the bottom.
Somewhere in that region of 70
to 80 is what we think that
cutoff could be. So there is
still plenty of points to be
had and three matches a lot of
time to game set points as
well. Those who are close to
chasing it, Wolves e Sports for
as well as Shopify Rebellion, they close out 7th through 10th at the moment.
Ninjas in pajamas making the most of the opportunity.
Huge amount of damage, kills and assists.
And this is what we're talking about right now.
Remember, Zip Line Mafia, as it stands,
the final qualification spot for match point finals belongs to them.
But look at the total points.
Look how close it is with not many games remaining now.
52 points is where we stand.
One was just two behind, then one behind.
It's so so close here a little bit of a gap between nine and ten and eight point gap between JD and Shopify rebellion
But Shopify did put up some points to keep themselves in the conversation
The further you get down into this table though
The more you get worried when you look at PXX and flat you're starting to think the tournament may be over for you
You're gonna have to have something huge in the next three
Aurora are down there as well Virtus Pro find themselves down there TIE the regional finals champions from their region are also down in
33 points as well. And interestingly, for TIE, it's the placement point difference versus kill point difference as well.
We're going to have to see how the game to progress. We are starting to get to the end of our survival stage.
We'll find out what happens in the next game in just a few moments. We're going for a quick break. We'll be right back.
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 events in gaming, shoulder to shoulder with the world's best.
Making history.
Greatness deserves a stage.
Lenovo Legion. Reach your impossible.
All right, I found him.
We were looking for Team Liquid fans.
What better?
We found Team Liquid.
It's panic.
How you doing, man?
I'm amazing, man.
Just driving, watching.
Yes, sir?
You know one of the things I said,
I love seeing your brother come to land
and be in your family invested in and involved
in what you do.
How cool is it now them seeing you in Paris doing so well?
I mean, it's insane.
Like my dad came with me here.
Oh, he's here?
Yeah, he's here.
And it's amazing that they all support and show love.
It's just awesome.
Yeah, man.
You guys have something special cooking.
I haven't seen Zero talk about a teammate like this.
since maybe forever.
I mean, he was obviously, obviously had issues with Hal,
but you just seemed to fit so well with what he's trying to do.
Why does that fit work for you guys?
I think with Hal and Zero, it was like a lot of an ego battle.
And like, I kind of had one when I was with TSM,
but like I knew joining Liquid,
I would have to fully put it down and just like take it in.
Cause he's a better player and I'm going to learn off of him.
That's a mature statement, man.
I appreciate it. Well, you guys have been dominating.
I know you're having your day off here.
I won't keep you too long, but congratulations.
We're excited to see what you do tomorrow.
I appreciate that, man.
All right, panic apex here, man.
Young gun.
How old are you?
19.
19.
So more apex young guns out here hanging out in Paris.
Welcome back to the AOGS.
Split one playoffs at the Esports World Cup 2026.
And now we head to World's Edge.
The survival stage continues with just three matches left.
And they will all take place on Old Faithful.
World's Edge is the background.
And interestingly, depending on how much you've
team. We've been following
ALGS throughout split one. We
did not have World's Edge online,
but we do have it here at land
at EWC 2026. But these teams
they know it. They're well
versed in it. They practiced
it and played it enough, but
it certainly does change things
for a lot of these teams,
whether it be where they drafted
on their PY draft or just how
comfortable they are with the
way that the game plays here on
World's Edge. I did mention in
the previous some of the teams
that have been doing very well
on World's Edge. Two of those
team in the tournament as well.
In terms of P O I's lava Fisher
has been performing very well,
staging as well and big more.
So that does take us across
both sides of the map, at least
comparatively to Olympus, but
there are plenty of teams who
have prioritized world's edge
here. You look at R R Q. It's
going with West N I P and lava
cycle, which I just mentioned.
You've got Harvester as well
for for fun. Shopify rebellion
of climate. I said there is
a lot of people who are
as well for fun, Shopify, Rebellion, and Climatize, and there is a lot of teams here
who really wanted to put a punctuation mark here on these final three maps.
Well, here we go then, everyone. We're going to see a lot of keys be crushed at some point,
very, very soon. Only six can make it through to tomorrow. And as we head over to World's Edge,
how many tournament-defining moments over the years have we seen take place on this particular map?
match eight is ready. The teams
are moving. One thing to highlight
here. We talked about some of the
repetitive predictable zones that
we've seen so far throughout the
tournament and other maps. We've
seen some surprises on World's
End. We've seen some strange
pullbacks. You've seen the zone
bouncing around a little bit, and
I wonder if teams and coaches
just had to refresh their brains
when it comes to how these zones
are going to play. Thank goodness
even down right that we get
that's going to be the last
match. The team that's going to
have a lot of eyes on them now.
Nip in fourth place. They hold
one of those qualification
positions, of course, but still
three matches. Still a lot of
points to play now, Zone wise,
we are heading over towards the
fragment area, maybe even a
little bit further east than
that as well. So this could be
great for the likes of enter
force 36 who were over it over
look, they will have the
quickest route down to no name,
whereas Aurora and Kinnotrope
are going to be battling out on
But Sparrow was banned in match 7.
Again, another character that can just hit those survey beacons so easily.
Oh, Fuse now has the highest selected legend.
Anyway, KineTrope, under fire.
Already a fight going down, no surprise.
A lot of teams already moving through monument and fragment.
And Aurora is sent to this one.
That's going to be too dead on the side of KineTrope.
And that's going to be Aurora picking up a couple of points.
Now, boy, did they need them.
Everyone's still on their feet.
BKG, have a look at this.
Oki's moving in.
Cassis, have a look at this as well.
Flaps has been eliminated by the way. Offscreen. That's Gen G getting busy already. If this is the pace we're going to play out, I'm going to do an oxygen attack.
All around under fire from another squad now. BKG trying to third party here with a back. Can you do the job? No!
Effect goes down and Hiyaka suddenly there's a lot of responsibility to finish off this fight.
It's going to be a 1v1. Hiyaka trying to play behind the knockdown. She was with the last one running there, but there he is. It's QQ and he's got an armor advantage as well.
Now, do they have the time to finish this one off cleanly?
Hiyaka's burning! Hiyaka's struggling!
Aurora had gone!
That's QQ to the rescue!
And there's two 1v1s for Hiyaka now,
where he just hasn't been able to come up clutch.
A lot of pressure on that young man as well.
Didn't want to take the fight,
Sawry had an arm of disadvantage.
Sawry was on the halter and thought,
maybe I can get away and get the rest of the team up.
How different would have that fight been
If it was a controller player, perhaps one of your frag is like a fetch in the 1v1 instead.
But Aurora are now going to have to turn to matches 9 and 10 to try and catch up here.
It's a big task, a big ask for them.
Ninja Zipajamas hold one of those qualification spots at the start of this game.
But it can change very, very quickly if you go out early.
There is no worse feeling than holding a spot, thinking you're going to match point finals.
that. And then dying early and
having to see the rest of the
lobby. Eat those points up that
you could have had. They made
the most of the zone last time
we saw them on our screens. That
was on storm point. Now we're on
world's edge have gone a little
bit further to go. So 11 fuses
in the lobby, which what I was
saying with all that commotion
started happening as well. So
expect. A lot of bombardments
happening in terms of how many
grenades can be popped out as
to be able to go to the
top of the building. And three
are building isn't prime. That's
a little bit damage on the
cross. It has to be very, very
careful. It looks like somebody
want to try take this a little
bit of risk considering how many
teams. But in and around
fragment, probably having a look
at this on the fact that our
buildings available. They can
play, but perhaps they just feel
like VP are in a winning
position. A winning building
shopper. Very do need points.
They're in 10th place. And
perhaps they feel like just
surviving until the late game
isn't enough. They need to be
to be safe here for quite some time eventually they're going to have to go through the likes
of the world's e-sports but SR versus VP continues and the mother load is doing some damage here
for Taskmaster however press this is down Zasko to swing that's two that's VP down that's
why Shopify wanted to fight because they want it clean that's a huge win for Shopify Rebellion
not only do you take the entirety of this area now and arguably one of the more comfortable buildings to hold
You get points on the board and you eliminate another team in the area
I mean if it doesn't pull all this way then maybe Shopify rebellion don't fancy staying obviously a gen G now
We can check back in the replay they had in the initial
Engagement with flat was a very quick wipe in the end
But where does Shopify rebellion set up do they continue to hold or do they wait for a little bit of information?
that they could gather from the
men. I think they're just going to
wait for zone to close. Everybody
else is going to be stacked up in
the fragment side of where this
zone is. Shopify just trying to
clear their backs, essentially.
They will walk in. They can let the
lobby take care of itself if it
pulls anywhere near to where they
are. And even if it doesn't, they've
got to walk in that they can look to
third party all of these teams that
will be coexisting. So Shopify in a
really, really good spot for now.
And if it goes to the north, they
also have the option of just wrapping
up to the epicenter high ground. So
So lots of options available for shop five rebellion
Away from the zone
Down to take a look at Neo heading into County out through the skies and the landslides are up here
And Neo another one of those teams who are almost in Hail Mary territory
Going into match eight here if they were to fall early
It's going to be very difficult in it in 910. Well, that doesn't give us much more information
the next zone information. It
is still going to be hovering
around both in Shopify, Rebellion
are going to head back up to the
eastern side right now. You were
saying just waiting for that zone
to close, spreading themselves out.
They control their loot in a boot.
It is the same time. Interesting
see walls and Gen G. Obviously,
they don't have the next zone
information from where they've
been positioned playing both of
the jokes, both the guides, a
choke and the siphon choke. Well,
at some point they're going to
have to engage. You're going to
have to move up towards that
zone. So keep your eyes on that.
and that choke and you've also got zipline mafia coming through the tunnel from harvester. So we're about to see a few bullets fired for sure as teams start to engage and get squeezed together on that choke.
A very important fight if it does happen as well. Zipline mafia in sixth place. That cut off position right now.
NIP, they are in fourth place at 59 points. So if either of these go down, it would be great for the rest of the lobby.
The four ninjas and pyjamas, it's been a very treacherous journey to this point.
well let's jump into the comms with the inches in pajamas and see what the plan
is to try and get rid of this joke
you might need the portal handbrake
you need a portal handbrake?
yep sure
you got a day there
he's jumping
i'm jumping
he's jumping
i'm gonna change the cabin
i'm on the portal
six of them are right there
oh my god
hey front, we're on the fin
coming coming there's nothing but
they're up for the rap
Fuck man that thing and classic
I mean should we not just mirror them bro?
Are they not going to fight?
Okay
There's 15 team here
We just fight this team
We just fight this team
There's two more teams at Garza
There's a team in this building
You can see some of the conversations that have been had between Vayne, Kurev and Kov, about what the plan is.
I think it's, shall we mirror them, and then we get a fight? Someone's hit my map here, of course, we saw on our screen.
This is a replay of the fight. We saw it take place a little bit earlier on between VP and SR.
You can see how clean it was. But for an Insurgent Pajama, it's pretty tough for a team for them to have to make it.
We're still holding the choke in front of them, and the longer they take, they've got more teams looking to squeeze them, potentially from behind here.
And now they know it.
I think that's the main problem, is the chokes that are being held by Wolves and Gen.G
makes it very difficult for these teams arriving from the south right now.
And NIP, assuming they're aware of PXX.
And the trouble is, if you engage in this, it does open up the door for Wolves' force to join into the fight.
And we've already seen Wolves throughout this tournament take some questionable fights themselves.
But perhaps this one is one they might want to take,
because you clear the entirety of the south if you win it.
the ring closing certainly will
affect this fight as well. It's
going to force it a little bit as
it begins to close now.
Another double take there as I
saw R3 or 1 in the hands.
One of our own fights for the
first time in quite some time.
I guess the fact we're on Wild's
Edge kind of makes it feel
somewhat comfortable.
They've got to hold it.
And then they have to work their
way forward because 20 seconds
20 seconds of zone everybody who is involved in this area has to squeeze themselves in towards zone
And there's only room for certain teams to survive
Who haven't a pop the battery here doesn't have the mother low
But you don't want to waste it knowing that you've got potentially another fight in front of you walls
And just to make it more interesting a mythic bit of spawning up by wolves as well
So there are plenty of things to be considering here for all these teams, but I think it is focusing on PXX right now
As the dog fail goes down and it's a lot of damage coming out of PXX here
Look damage coming on either side
The ninjas and the pyjamas at the back of the mother load aren't looking healthy at all.
Coles down. Vayne might be down soon as well. He gets the armor swapped off of Coles box.
Desperately just spam some thermite to try and buy type.
PXX now being wrapped by RRQ. This one saved the day here.
NIP. Wolves are looking at it as well. We may see both of these scenes go down here.
NIP and PXX are going to struggle.
Vayne's going to try and get out of dodge. See if he can maybe rescue the rest of the team.
Oh, I'm back to those! You see him?
They had to jump back into the port, he's only got one health!
He would have died to a zone immediately there!
This is a mess.
The grenades flooding towards him somehow, Kurove and Vayne are still holding on.
It gets the med kit, Pops!
They might get the shield back, Pops, and now do you take the portal? Do you try and risk?
Going back into zone here.
Easy flash is staying here. The rest of RRQ have left.
And Easy Flash says, no, maybe I can do a little bit of damage.
Now he'll get enough of a warning sign to say,
I need to retreat to the rest of the team.
And he's going to wrap back round thanks to being a race.
Where's the rest of the squad?
Takes the void Nexus.
Wolves still holding, still waiting to see what's going on.
I'm wondering why we haven't got a KP out of all this.
You've got a Kraber in the hands of no name.
There's a 150.
I fall inside. Of the face down and they go towards no name came. Can they get reset here? Yeah, I wonder if they can actually get ahead of this zone as well.
Karam has been able to get up, but then just get spotted. Veins going to be the last remaining.
It's going to be Gen G. You start to focus.
All right, you walls continue to make acquaintances on this side of the balance.
20 HP, it's felt like he's played most of the game with this, he's won HP now and NIP are gone.
And they have fallen early.
A nightmare situation now to have to watch the rest of the lobby.
No name still with this Crave in his hand.
It allows so many teams to start catching up, doesn't it?
But that Crave up could certainly do a lot as RRQ gets eliminated.
that's a second place team
eliminated so that's second and
forth now out of the lobby
early and again everyone
looking at their legs. They
will not let them go. He can't
try to sweep behind as well.
Somehow wolves are still alive.
No idea how. It's an absolute
mess on this southern side
It's going to fragment, of course, but then it's going to the northern side.
There's going to be a couple of buildings that are in there.
As BXX eventually get confirmed as eliminated from the competition.
Sorry, it's from the server, not the competition just yet.
Careful. Careful. I won't eliminate anyone too early.
It's not looking good for them, but 12 points.
It's JDG on 49 points.
One of the chasing teams!
And they'll take out Nio.
Floating by name, floating by nature.
Soars through the sky.
off the back of the double jump and gets an easy finish as now we go over to zip
line Matthew once again by the way Shopify rebellion who were here a long
time ago if you're wondering where they are they're all the way at the north and
side of the zone of wolves no way they pulled up the impossible no name does
not show up on radar much to the delight of the wolves fans in house as well
they'll be back to a three they're currently in fifth position in the
overrules. It's so important you get some of these extra placement points on the
board, especially when you see some of those falling around you. Because if
teams at the top are not getting the points, those chasing you are definitely
going to be picking them up. The name is almost single-handedly keeping walls alive here.
Now the face dome is down. If you're crazy, I think you're just sitting there at the
moment and thinking, you know what, we trust you, just take us anywhere.
They are banged centre of zone, but they have absolutely no cover. Crazy come. Somehow saves
the life here. Dino has been eliminated in the meantime. Gen.G are fighting them, but
Wolves are just going crazy trying to find a corner, trying to find somewhere safe. Every
door is blocked. Gen.G get eliminated elsewhere. TIE are going to be on the other side of
this and Nade start to come up. Can TIE get bullied away because Wolves, they just need
somewhere to go home finally they break the door down and they're going to take
this fight to TIE. No name, more damage. Sue has that crate with the back pocket by the way.
Don't forget about that thing. They take control of the door as well so now with
Catalyst in the composition at least they know they control that door. That's a
big moment that's somewhere at least for them to play their backs against.
They're just a little bit worried about from height are they going to get shot at the moment they are going...
Oh, I'm standing on. Trying to
put on a show for us. You might
see a few of those attempts.
The first doesn't want. Try
try again. Maybe the third
might will create the opening
here. T. I. E. On that high
ground. No name. No fear.
They're slowly forcing them higher
and higher. There's only so many
You can do this, it's the infinite ammo, still not connected with the note scopes, all it takes is one.
This is the one. I feel it.
The wall span is praying for it. This is the one.
Okay, maybe the next one. Infinite ammo, doesn't matter, right?
right? The GK has just pointed above. As if Matthew are trapped to the moment, Kajak has to swing past to try and create a pub.
We're excused to stay alive. He's not going to be able to. That's VK gaming. He eliminated in those moments as well.
Shopify Rebellion, by the way, on that northern side still. With now JD gaming joining them.
Kajak has a solo on the pathfinder, still alive. Wolves, by the way, has been... I don't know how they're here.
I don't know how they're alive. Well, they can tell you that they are.
Well, now TIE can't go any higher either with GK arriving.
By the way, second, third and fourth all out of the lobby right now.
Nine squads remaining, Shopify Rebellion, doing some damage.
As you can see in the kill feed, TIE and Wolves both getting involved.
There's JDG who lost the player.
Finally, that creeper gets put to use.
I told you, pick one.
You were the bad luck charm. That's what it was.
Ozzainu is bullying JDG at the moment.
The motherload goes in.
in the middle of the game.
But they haven't managed to
finish him off quite yet. JDG
still alive. I think it's
floating. Who's the last man
there? Shopper by rebellion if
they can take out JDG in a very
winnable position. Only say
that because they'll be the only
team on the north. Everyone else
is in the buildings of fragment
on the southern side right now.
You're sandwiched in between.
And this is where you need a game plan.
This is where the legend composition is going to be a big factor.
The race coming to play.
Casterless might go crazy in this endgame as well.
If you could wall off a side of this zone.
Oh yeah.
And by a little bit of time just to isolate a fight.
Isolate yourself away from the lobby.
And you might have a pretty good time.
This is the power position though for Shopify Rebellion.
The only worry is that everyone starts...
this. Wraith portaling into the middle. You have to make sure you bully them away as quickly
as possible. TIE now. They go out of the frying pan and into the fire and they have to set
themselves back. But Zone's going to force them in once more.
Shot fire at the midfield as well. This is rock won't be in for long. TIE have been eliminated.
The Wraith portals not. Workout for them. JD Gaming will follow. Shoot me the last player
standing. No name by the way. With the Craver, hits one onto Zyno. And that opens things
Up there's the Catwalk, but GK are in front of them!
Knups in front of them! Knups gets down!
And now no name can use this to his advantage as the rest of the team pushes through.
GK gonna try and utilize Newcastle to get back up.
But actually Wolves, they benefit from this heavily!
And GKE Sports eliminated.
Shopify go down as well.
That Kraber crucified them.
DCG jump out of the zone, trying to hit the lady back,
trying to do a little bit of lap post dancing.
No name, waiting for the opportunity to strike everyone, it's going up into the skies!
But if you go up, you've got to come back down!
Zip-Line Mafia eliminated, force words remaining, and this is the No Name Show!
Absolute carnage, no defensive legends, no walls to work with really!
He's on his own!
It's all down to No Name, last three teams!
I'd say there's no chance, but I thought that about three or four times in this game.
Pulsing gets a problem, Sinak tries to pull up behind him, has to jump into the void.
Get second place!
Oh, but we're three alive!
There's no chance for no name!
And three left, we're winning, but boy!
It was a hell of a game for Wolves as well.
That was a 1v1 in the end.
It was a 1v1v1 in the end.
We had Wraith, Wraith Axel,
But DCG put up a win.
And again, every single win matters.
Every single point matters.
It puts DCG back into the conversation of qualification.
They're not quite in those top six points,
but they do put themselves within five.
Absolutely flabbergasted by what I saw from NoName in that game.
If you don't know who he is,
the man goes for the other name.
It's NoName.
the man who shall not be named, but boy can he should hit a shot when he's needed.
And think of the reset, think of the survivability, think of the portals, think of them taking
control of that door outside the building, it just felt like they had no right to be
in that endgame.
It puts Wolves to 67 points in second place, they are now in touching distance of those
match point finals. The team from APAC South who dominated their own region, but then struggled
on day one, lackluster in day two, but then suddenly came to life once more. And if you
think of what they went through throughout that entire game, they somehow found the building
to play in the end, fully TIE away. And they get into this, look at this final circle,
look at how many players alive. The singles in the end, it was the axle that came out
I thought for sure one of the race was going to win in his own like that.
Don't be mad, don't be mad though, you'd be happy.
Definitely not be mad.
But he's doing the perfect reaction.
It's like, not anywhere near the end of that game if it's not for you.
Don't be disappointed.
I mean Wolves, they still put up 17 points in that game,
only two points less than DCGs.
Short, neither team able to have one of those mammoth games where you put 25 plus up.
But again, it's just about staying in the race at the moment.
the top six positions. At the
moment for those top six
positions. And boys get in
close. Yeah, you dare you start
talking points. They start
talking about who's in the
right places and who's in the
wrong ones. I think GK are
very close. A few more points
for GK. They should be good for
match point finals. The same
could be said for wolves. Maybe
another seven or eight for them.
to the Lampos. Two of them got
up there. And at first you think
you're just such an obvious
target. But actually when
everyone's panicking a lot of
its eye level, not many people
look up because everyone's in
portals. Everyone's in cues.
Everyone's just trying to stay
alive. And the bottom there
flat zero points for them. Well,
I mean, that was my most the
most fun I've had so far here.
And the LJ split one playoffs
at EWC. That was an incredible
game. But now we still have two
a wait. And the last two games remaining in the survival stage are coming up right off
this break. Do not go anywhere. We'll be right back.
Welcome back. Relove DCG with the win in dramatic fashion. We've got my main man coach of TLN Pirates
but a pro that you've known well before. Nasky here in the building, ready to give his insight.
What he's been seeing so far and of course his experience in the tournament. Nasky welcome my man.
I mean you can barely call me a coach right? I'm not letting you see this as a player.
Okay, he doesn't want to change it up man. Talk to me quickly about that real of win
That was like lamppost flashbacks from back in the day. That gave me flashback. What was it?
It was team liquid way back in the days on the lamppost riding on top. I love it
Beautiful win so many fun things and also the top teams to kind of caught your eye
What are some of those stories about the top performers Rick Wolves just jumped into first place?
But our cue have been doing phenomenally as well
RRQ is the team that I have close to my heart because it's funny to see strafing flame together with easy flash again, right?
Yeah, they're really nice back in the day. What was it? Was it Birmingham champs? Yes, they were popping off
Yeah, they split off. They had some sort of melacolic
melacoly
Ending to it, but now they're back there. They're doing amazing. It's amazing man
And the team that's back they didn't mean to be back though Shopify rebellion phonies playing with Zyno again and that was that talk about them
Oh, Shopify rebellion. I mean, where to start, right?
Siner is back with Phony again. He jumped in as an emergency sub.
Obviously, it's not what they were looking for, but it looks like they're doing pretty good, right?
I mean, obviously, they don't have to jump that far from what they're used to because Phony and Siner go way back.
Don also had coached Phony before, so the strats are probably similar to what he's been experiencing.
And yeah, I'm sure I mean it looks fine, right? They got the chemistry there, man
I know you're dropping your piece and everything listen Nasky
He is one of our great personalities and and to me that means you're seeing interesting things so for surprises
Who surprises you the most who are the teams that kind of caught your eye for good or for bad reasons?
I mean for bad reasons might be Aurora because Aurora was EU champions coming into this
I mean, this is a strong team because proven himself as the IGL many many yet many times in a row, right?
He's a world champion.
He is a world champion and in fact also a world champion, previous EWC winning.
That's right.
And OJ obviously, EU staple, you know, it's a strong roster, you would imagine them already
being called to the finals, already been doing something crazy, but you know, they're in
Survivors and they're actually not doing too good right now.
Maybe we'll turn.
Alright man, well I know Dino's another team he caught your eye on.
We have to get back into these games though, Nasty, thank you so much for joining us on
stage, you hope to see you around.
He'll be in the stands if you're here at EWC watching, so say hello to Nasky as well.
It's time to get back to our casters because we got a couple more games to go before we
see our final team set for Sunday.
Saturday, actually.
That's right, Reinde.
We still have two more games to go.
Which of these remaining teams will go home is the question?
And listen, if you're going to give me another POV of Wolves, no game going crazy like that,
He didn't get the dub, but he, oh my goodness,
put on a classic performance, 8KP for them,
but it was DCG who ended up taking the win with 7KP,
and we still got two more games on World's Edge.
And as we go through and look at our teams, Vicki,
it's really starting to feel like the beginning of the end.
As after these two matches, 14 teams will go home,
and they will do everything that they can to prevent that.
and advance on to the match point finals just tomorrow,
here to have on your screen,
16 kills for Ninjas in pajamas of their 38 total,
currently situated in sixth place.
Knowing that the benchmark is 60 points
and trying to break through that,
every team behind them,
just a handful of points keeping them in there.
Even 11th place Shopify Rebellion with 50 points,
Just a win, like I'm talking like a 15, 20 point win
and something happening in the teams just above them.
You're in that top six, Vicky.
It's just crazy to see how tight it's looking
for a lot of these teams to.
You know that these players are feeling the pressure.
You talk about the cutoff, you talk about NIP.
Breeling with 60 points.
I mean, the two point difference alone.
I mean, even if you look on the other side of the team
Shopify with those looking points.
Gen G who are now ramping up, it took them a bit of time.
But the fact that they've been able to try to match pace
with the rest of these early placement squads
who were able to find that aggression, we got game.
Number nine out of 10 on the horizon, guys.
I mean, we've lost out on Fuse.
We've lost Sparrow, watch it.
I mean, what's next at this point?
Maybe the Bangalores.
I mean, we saw some of them, maybe more Axles.
We're gonna have to find out.
The fact that Newcastle has made it as far is also crazy.
Yeah, it is quite interesting that Newcastle lives
to see another day.
But with that initial ban coming through and losing out
on Fuse, it's the resurgence of Caustic.
Caustic to be able to give them access to the ring consoles.
Thanks for the good look at the circle.
And where we're headed towards, Dino's from staging
will be able to have a quick rotation.
You can see JD Gaming already dropping the EVAC
and focusing on where they want to play from.
for Virtus Pro and PXX that are over in Lava Fissure and Countdown.
That ring console that Countdown has,
you're going to want access to that,
which is exactly what PXX is poised to do.
Really good call-out when it comes to getting the information,
especially looking at how this zone is pulling.
A little bit of a difference maker here as we move over to
Lava Fissure instead of going over to the Oscars of Fragment East and take you to the skies.
Wolfsman, their fans are going crazy right behind us and for
all the right reasons, no name on the Wraith, going back to back rolling out with the Ben
War Battling and the Cat. It's crazy to see as you already see feeling some of that pressure
when Shimei Shining his way inside this building to cover his back with the Nade needs some
health gear, hopefully gets it, because it's NIP who tried to isolate him.
and PXX who have laid siege towards VP here
have pushed them out and taken down.
Who's this?
With one already down and another bleeding,
Vurnus Bro have left the lobby.
Here's the deal, Vicky, with two matches to go.
And if you're in like 19th place like PXX are,
they're rookies from APAC North.
What do you have to lose at this point?
Exactly.
You set fire to the lobby.
Time to cause chaos.
This is literally the perfect time right now.
This is what I love when it comes to our ALGS lands.
When we get a little bit of a schmicks up on the ruleset
where these teams are playing so desperate
when you have two more games to go,
PX has had nothing to lose.
They sent it onto VP who honestly,
being on that later half of the overall standings,
I mean, not even having an opportunity,
it's gonna be literally a miracle.
I don't think it's gonna happen here.
But now you take a look at the teams
who wanna soak up more of these points,
the teams who are so close to making it in this top six.
Zip-lining around is gonna be Zip-line Mafia,
because I being on that path,
playing off with the Bangalore from excuse as well as the Kha'Zik from LeeQ,
but you can see the Pins coming in.
They're isolated in the Lava Siphon, but there will be Flatt who are trailing right behind them eventually.
NIP, by the way, do manage to trail behind Wolves after trying to harass that player off on the low ground.
You see this side by side. We did see this fight just earlier from this replay.
It's going to be PXX harassing VP while Aurora on the bottom left, this is what's happening live.
are facing up against BK Gaming over by Monument.
But it's a wrap up here for this fight
and the way that a lot of these teams are trying
to collapse one another because, honestly,
the Aurora versus BK Gaming isn't the only one.
It's also E36 and Shopify with a 3PF Genji.
The fact that you have Aurora and BK Gaming fighting,
it's like you're 2025 champions,
a BWC and you're 26 champions,
or 2024 and 2025, I forget what year it is,
but you're right, Shopify Rebellion up in the North.
Gen G eSports seek to disengage here and honestly sometimes you do just have to kind of focus on getting information and
Prioritizing that before you get to that endgame for the majority of our teams
They've already gone out west and collapsing out here near monument and fragment will be difficult
Well Keon is Brian DJ unfortunately with the Sheila
It's happening with a lot of these teams trying to get aggressive Shopify rebellion are looking down at Gen G who wanted to get the ring console information
isolated before they move up E36. If they take out Nioh could easily split their
attention on into harassing Shopify and less Shopify. Here this Johnson probably
want to go in for the 3P. But having to be careful knowing Genji right behind
them, this is the fight that we were expecting. E36 in trouble though.
You guys know these two players have these Evo shields. They go take the portal, he's got the Sheila.
Jumping around the corner isn't gonna be enough. Nioh, who needs this KP, find a double knock instead.
They eliminate Oobli and now you can see the Solo who's trying to run further
alive can't Shopify be the saving grace to involve themselves in this fight.
And this is where the game can make or break you.
You're in fourth place inside the top six by just four points.
Down to a Solo, a regain needed.
But what options do you have to make that happen?
For now, the Wraith as the solo, Synap will do his best to get the dynamic duo back.
We turn our attention deep into zone, with Tai up here, on the Mirage Dua, Umi-chan cut
down from Amped Cover in the distance.
I know the Poe pressure, right, and the Chaos feeling that pressure.
Playing off this low ground, we've seen zones like this end up pulling on the outskirts
of Moraja Dwa Dwa, while TIE are down to a dual F-chan looking to heal up.
They should be able to get Umichan back in for now, but they do have JD gaming.
That is the team that is staring down them from that height on the zip.
The issue is here, you're going to be looking at a couple of different teams
as people look through.
Dino's out in the distance by time for fun and GK that have been so consistent
and acquiring points across all of our maps that we've seen.
But to the north we go again for WRG Neo.
The survey beacon.
Oh yeah, I'm getting that scan too,
because now they know E36 all right around the corner.
You see Neo on the other side here,
as they are gonna be able to TP through.
Thanks to having that void next is activated,
you can hear the shots off the hemlock,
But being able to find Akba on this fight, he says take me back, he did get the crack, doesn't want to over extend everybody, playing a bit scared the Kickstarter.
Jyxxlick does have that axle, trying to miss out on the nitro gate before he keeps her coming from behind, there's some revenge from Genji as Jyxxlick sends out his own.
And now they're looking to try to take this void next to him before canceling it because you have Akba being able to find that knock on the agent, needs some help from Jyxxlick.
We're trying to put the Super Bowl behind it, no way!
Combing in is gonna be E36, re-involving themselves.
They see the opportunity to hear the fights.
This is gonna be that 3 team pile-up over by Epi.
You tell me that you immediately focus on resetting
and diving back into the fight on the reset.
Gen G, a moment of reprieve as Asia hits the med kit
and focuses on that path that we have.
I see that we have a couple of options, right?
You can go skyhook and come in through the north.
You can drop down, carve through monument.
This is what awaits you out of the south.
Kazak there with a zipline to the high ground.
Can they lay siege to GK?
He on one HP.
This is important for zipline mafia.
Being one of those teams outside the Cubs at 58 points,
at 7th place overall, underneath NIP,
who are at 61 that takes the high ground here.
They take another KB with GK leading the path with 71 points.
This is big, playing ring around the rosy, around the end shields.
Keon holding up for D.R.I.P.
Help me, as GK get eliminated.
This is great for Zip by Mafia.
Looking on the other side, it's trying to stay alive on Bryan.
Woff, they've now come here to the southern side of the zone.
They're feeling the pressure from the teams,
trying to poke at them from afar.
Wolves, TIE.
Flat are now rotating on the bridge outside of staging,
but it's the pile up over on the outskirts of Lava and Countdown.
And Dino's another team, NIP, the sixth place.
One point is keeping them inside the top six.
And for now, we remain inside.
Dino's in flat.
Another story as we see chaos go down.
DJ immediately investing the portal.
J-Future only surviving by the mobile shield.
And trying to escape, but where do you go?
Well, looking to get the res,
actually really sparked doing right next to the start of the portal to oh no but
you still get the renaught you're just looking at him so you know what never
mind let's just take this portal instead where can I go but it's still risky no
matter what because flat out now looking at this they hurt the rest now they
fully send it they're looking to get to the KP but I mean they're a dead last
this is just a brief them at the end of the day dino now losing out on two
trying to stay alive with nano chasing down against the lone warrior DJ who is
running for his life. Dino's currently at 64 points in fifth place. Not big of a gap,
but a nice little cheek and nail landing at the feet of Nanna after he heated it up to the sky.
Dino says, all right, we're going to still try to follow up with this here. Do we try to fool the
extended? He's forced us to be stuck by the tunnel side before rotating perhaps through landslide
because E36 now are also going into the other side of Dino's. They hear this fight and they're
going to be the sandwich to the other side of the solo, forcing Dino to back away towards
But what he does here the race baits him as he goes out into the circle and our force 36 is lurking throughout the tunnels
They don't peak but keep your eyes because we have one medkit six syringes. I mean
There was there's no chance. We're gonna get the board. They're greasing them flat. He's griefing. That's all guys
They care they're in 20th place. I mean what what the fact that DJ's I guess true
I mean, DJ's literally feeling this right now.
We've all been here within our own games
and you're trying to stay alive as the last one
for your squad.
And we time it, we pop the syringe,
we can go into the void after this,
but flat call off the chase.
My God, you don't know what's waiting
for you on the other side.
It doesn't get easier, DJ.
It doesn't, he's forced to heal up.
I mean, at least he will have some time.
It is ring three countdown.
Next year, but he'll have some respect before coming in behind
WTR Neil calls on the e-back in front of Neo. So they definitely hear this
Let's see how they react when they come out of the choke that leads into landslide
Dinos now with that one solo is trying to keep the dream up for the rest of his team
He's gonna fly over Neo for now
Well, we take a look at zipline mafia after they were able to win that fight originally now looking down at flat and vk
Gaming and now Dinos that's one solo he's gonna wrap completely around monument, but he lands on a replicator
We are going for a reset, not too many heels to go back to zip line.
Pop the survey, we can get the information because Flat came back into the ring at this location.
And I'm saying if we got this hemline, we got the breech charge, we are ready to let it fly.
But there's going to be a couple of teams in our way as we move our move in through the southern side of things.
Hi, and VK Gaming still.
I mean, if we could look at what's happening in Landside 2 because Nio, we're actually down to one member.
that one solo of Dino's actually backed around them while they were fixated on getting the res
and that was alive right next to E36. So much happening on each end of the outskirts of the
zone while the zone is starting to close behind their backs. This one's gonna hurt while Zip
and Mafia continue to claim names. This is a great look for this team to overtake NIP
a one-point difference. In this game I remember after this is only one more to go and ZipLine
want to be able to secure themselves in the final lobby.
They're currently tied with 6th place, 61 points.
And we keep focusing forward.
Enter first floor to 6, you were asking about them.
WGR Ne-O on the other side.
The blue to purple disparity.
Synapse, trying to take the angles, but all the nades coming through.
And we are burning.
Back at Dinos, goes out like that too.
Unfortunately, the solo cannot stay alive.
Dyer's situation here was 64 points, but it really depends on how zipline,
for fun, and even NIP, rise up.
The WGR looking at E36's amount of time.
Genji won a prior on their rotate.
NIP looking on to harass these teams on the edge of zone,
while the likes of Wolves, TIE, zipline, for fun.
Sting, hold up, zipline, yes, are eliminated.
They got to 61 points.
They're still tied with NIP differences. NIP are still alive.
They get further themselves as WOLFs with the Thermite TPing back up.
Tide now get eliminated. 14 squads left and WOLFs playing to safe with 69 total points.
They know they lead the way.
And Tide fall also.
But falling in 7th is Zip Line Mafia. Vicky, like you said, with one game left to get them into the top 6.
And one game to further it is VKG!
Sets their sights, but it's just LQ last standing. He knocks another the new castle goes for the red
Controlling not only that but the mobile shield and back to the fight we go against them
We get eliminated our former EWC champs are out of this lobby in 13
This is top. I mean, they're literally only a 40 total points sitting in 14. No matter what they'll now Gen G who have been rising up
have an opportunity to slide in they get that enough originally you can see the
portal happening right in front of you 36 they're trying to keep it up here too
because route 4 is closing behind their backs and they have to start moving and
four-foot are waiting for them on the other side of the edge of zone just know
you're getting griefed at this point it's gonna be open it's gonna be scary
and JD gaming or center zone in the building holding but all these teams
fighting for positioning there if you have a new castle you're feeling better
Here comes Genji, NIP, a fight for the life.
Talk about how the new cast of Curve gets to blast with the Eva A double tap and head, oh my goodness!
Yay!
Genji do get eliminated though!
The Antiforce 36 now show face right behind them.
And now NIP, feeling the pressure but right behind them having to be careful, it's gonna be synthetic.
That may be the insurance that they need off the longbow.
Now you have to kick start, you have to worry about sit up, take into the skies,
having to drop down, hide behind these new cast of walls,
Try to get the reset and the res for fun now show face, but either ourselves between DCG and 4-fun.
He's trying to break the wall. He's trying to rip their cover away from them.
And you even have the caustic ult for 4-fun.
Focusing on what they need, enter 4-36, get amp covers up. Their wall still being poked and prodded.
Amp covers going down.
And we are turtles!
Stop harassing us, please!
We're trying to stay alive!
They break down the barrier!
DCG also tried to scoop that up because all of us can be!
One mobile shield from a near-gassel holding them!
And they're sending it full-fire!
How do we get out the rain with a portal?!
He keeps them alive for right now!
They do get them knocked if we're early, but this portal play, SYNAP, could be the second...
Oh, I'm not there!
No!
A horror movie!
For SYNAP, as he tries to keep E36 up, he gets the TP.
Tp he gets only and they're looking to get this record out of the loop behind them
This is so much pressure that they're feeling and for fun are not letting loose
E36 habit had a moment to reset for fun
It's just sending it back to the portals. They go straight into the hands of deep cross gaming and
snap tries dude
He took
They're still chasing him
Everybody was looking at this team. He's still waiting for his life the fact that they took the portal back by the way
SIN UP THE FACT THAT HE GETS BEHIND THIS CREAT TO POP THIS MED KIT!
THE RAID PLAIS ARE EMACULATED!
10 squads left in a roar and get eliminated!
NEXT!
JDG!
GETTING SOME KP!
SAME THING FOR WOLF SHOPPIFY TO FOLLOW!
AND WITH WOLF HOLDING THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACK,
YOU'RE LOOKING AT SYNETIC RQ!
HOLDING THE BUILDING, HOLDING THE ROOF!
YOU SEE THE CAT WOLF COMING UP!
Blocking vision to allow the safe rotate to allow them to move up on Forfun.
And are we gonna drop piercing spikes to prevent the climb up piercing spikes to all on the low ground?
And Forfun have a moment to breathe. You see Sinep portaling in a distance yet again in the void.
And for now, we hit the back of the arc store!
Who hit?
The caustic barrel!
Then leave me a- oh my gosh he's right in front of Stratoclane.
Check for me, did I see a-
Oh my goodness!
Hey, can you see Panic? He never saw Panic!
Sinep is still alive for E36, he's seeing the action.
He knows it's out of the line of sight of the team who had a crossing lump.
Wolves now closing the gap.
He's trying to coexist.
I mean, no name is going to definitely see him.
The fact that he hasn't seen him.
Oh my gosh, he's hiding behind the bottom lip of the building is insane.
That's our race, that's our race.
That's our race, let me tell you.
Sinep right there with the Preach Charge from no name.
Does he know that Sinep is there or are we just sending to the building?
No, because he's looking at RRQ.
Yeah, that's why they've been trying to harass him.
I mean, the fact that they got the Rockin' to Shraiken playing, he gets back up.
But that's why no name is creating this space for the rest of his team.
Okay, let's see.
They've built a house behind the Ant Bears, behind the Newcastle, and floating.
Had been finding himself catching this KP, not even followed up to fight Chappy.
With eight squads left, they're not giving up this house.
Final zone, and a lot of these teams have congregated over to the north side.
Well, that solo still stays alive for now.
Chappy is the next victim of a lot of these split up teams.
You can't see now down to a duel that once again E36 down to that solo.
And a lot of these things NIP2 utilizing that not-screening before moving up now is going to be rules of the portal.
And they portal to the truck for fun at their backs.
Ninjas and pajamas on the low ground fighting deep-cross gaming.
They grab the knock on the one, shout she out here.
And they hold steady behind the wall, throwing the caustic barrel at him.
Here comes Kena Truck for the third party.
Welcome to the cut-jumping, Cole putting out the barrels,
dancing around the Newcastle wall, Bane looking behind them.
On the way, a DGG fall, seven squads left,
Cole has had one heck of a performance
until now, where NIP get eliminated in KMC.
He think sums up that solo start right now, but whoops,
they're out for blood, they're hungry,
six squads left looking down at four funs.
And Jade gaming, you saw Naughty there disappear
disappear back into the building for a reset and as Wolves covered the piercing spikes to prevent sinna
It's easy flash who finds him
It's free kp, but he lives and that is what matters when it's so close to the top so close for our top six right now
RRQ, no one to look at them Wolves get eliminated for fun really only have to worry
about RRQ as they face off against each other on the south side and Keto's trying to dive it on to JDG.
And it's all about who gets sent first. And this infinite ammo behind the Amped cover of Easy Flash.
He's on path. He's going for the zip! He's going for JDG!
What an aggressive play with Easy Flash. It cost his life!
Was it gonna be worth it here, not straight from playing, taking the portal here, the rest coming in from next.
Fun now trying to stay in this fight in the last two, two squads.
That's 80 game, it's going out, it's starting to slow down now as they are getting nine winners.
They moved up, the patient play was immaculate.
Now they're sitting in second place in the overall standings without performance alone.
Four fun, nine kills, 3300 damage.
A game when they needed it most to launch themselves up the series for Team RRQ.
A brilliant game there to get into the end, 13 points for them.
JD gaming from the outside looking in trying to get into the top six.
Was it enough Vicky?
I mean, getting that done with 9KP, they played that so safe.
I was wondering here man, aren't you
They got aggressive you saw how they were able to try to play ring around the rosie around that rock man
The ring closing in right behind their backs allows for fun to walk up and take another dub
Let's not forget that they won game number one on e-district with 10 Kp to kickstart this entire 10 game series
And this is on the other side
Roy on the screen
Deep Cross Gaming, a top 10 finish there.
But we're still doing everything we can to get into the top 6.
And with one game to go, and how close the scoreline is across the teams.
It's not impossible. You're 9 points out of the top 6.
But now you have to look at the teams that are in the later half of this entire lobby.
And understand that you can literally wipe out every single person.
It would just be impossible to find yourself in this top six.
That's why we saw the desperation from our solo player on E36.
The Wraith trying to cling on for dear life.
With how tight it is in the top six.
Literally 69 for E36.
Surviving alone gave them that placement for fun being able to find themselves in that second place spot
The difference maker between six placed because our top six make it in and seven place where JD gaming
We're getting that KP
It's like a few point like what three four points. It's crazy to see how tight it is
This last game is going to mean everything will we see teams grief each other? We saw the attempt from flat
They have nothing to lose. I mean Aurora going out right there. Aurora sitting at 16th with 38 points. It's a tough day
To be an Aurora fan, but this is what happens at land
This is what happens when you see what these teams are playing for when their backs are against the wall
And then you look even at Shopify who are 52 total points in 11th
If they take this lobby by a storm
It all depends on this final game on World's Edge
It's crazy to see how the survivor stage has played out. Don't go anywhere because we'll find out
What the results are looking like after this final game and after this final break
This is the result of a loss at EWC 2026.
And this was the fate of TLN Pirates and Apex Legends alongside five other squads in our
group stage.
Then 14 teams faced the same fate in our survival stage, while six continue on to match point
finals.
20 teams with their hopes and dreams still alive.
The opportunity to place their team's key at the top of the totem.
This is what it's all about.
This is what all of our teams are competing for the chance to do, to etch their names
in the history books of EWC.
It doesn't get any better than this.
That's right, Glitter.
It doesn't get any better than this
because we're going into the final game
of survival stage, and boy, the stakes high.
I mean, you heard the caster say how close everything is.
We'll take a look at the overall in a little bit,
but we're gonna talk about an outstanding performance
in No Name for Wolves.
He was almost able to clutch it two games ago by the Buoy.
But still, insane performance when they needed somebody to step up.
I mean, for every MNK user in the entire world,
he is probably one of the two.
Him and Asia probably, but he is probably the player you're looking at currently
right now after that phenomenal game right there.
It could have probably been the clip of the year,
had his teammates knocked down till not stop two of the bullets,
and he'd finished up the game.
It would have been absolutely...
It would have been the clip, I think.
Phenomenal.
There was just no stopping him.
I went from the Craver to the Craver to the Craver
from the wraith, the phase right behind the team.
And then I, I thought he had it.
I literally, I thought it was it.
I got, you guys were sitting near me.
I got out of my chair, almost spilt like my food all over me.
But it was, it was such an immaculate start to finish.
And you know, even though you didn't get the win,
and you could see, you could see actually no name,
you know, just sitting there in his chair,
shaking his head like he just lost, but did all of this.
So it was kind of like, man, you need to congratulate yourself,
obviously, for that entire play.
But yeah, it's still kind of a crazy feeling just to miss out
so small on that win.
And you're absolutely right.
I mean, I thought he was going to be a little bit excited,
but honestly, Snipe, I want to know you as an ex-pro player,
what was going through his mind after such a performance
in just coming short of clutching it?
Yeah, I mean, it doesn't matter what we watch.
He's only thinking about the one mistake that he might have made in his head and how he could have gotten his team that way
And what those points differential would have meant to them heading into this final game because it still is that close
We've seen some teams jump up
15 spots in two games. We have one game left and it's gonna be a master class
Honestly as a controller player watching him into actions per minute. I was just like, yeah, what a dive there
You know, but at the same time, you know, I was like put myself in the shoes. I it was very impressive
I mean, when you're talking about how close everything is,
E36 right now with 69 points.
If it were to end it just now,
they would have been able to make it to the match point finals.
But JD Gaming, I mean, JD Gaming is currently on their tail with 65 points.
Even DCG, who has been able to get a win today,
could make a push towards those top six.
That leaderboard is going to be shuffling in a big way, Graceful.
I mean, even seeing when we get to doing a second page as well,
Probably another five teams could potentially still make it because when you get like you get a win
And you get to add all the kills as well and depending on which team soaks the points as well as we can see right here
Even from 40 I would say you could even do
Copium even a roar could make it if they drop a huge win
But realistically that's probably not going to happen the teams in there probably fifth to tenth are going to make it happen
But it's gonna be really really tight. Yeah, I mean we've seen no name being able to step up for walls
Yeah, I know it's a little bit of a cupium but effect would have to put up a lot of top performance night
Yeah, I mean we have a lot of teams
We're looking at you know the the Shopify is the aurora is a lot of teams at that that we know have the talent
But can we just give a huge shout out to for fun for the first team?
Yeah, that's in this a game one and now game nine so they're definitely having fun
They most likely secured themselves, but there is still a chance if you know a lot of teams don't show up in this game
But honestly, it's really good for them
I think they were one of them bigger underdogs heading into this a lot of that roster has had very unfortunate events leading up to this not making any grand finals in the past few events
So for them to come out firing in the most important tournament with the stakes only at the top six moving on is very impressed
I mean even then you know I've teamed with Tyler of no nags for a long time and synaptic
We had him pop off already in pro league and him saying himself that hey all I had to do was believe and play the way
I wanted to play which was actually a fraggard. He said and that's why he went full on on roller
He's far from MK2 Roller, very common in this competitive eSport, and he just made it happen,
and they're here right now, pretty much stamped their tickets to the finals.
What better way is it to make that happen?
Yeah, all of the Consistency Kings did not, and you can see it now coming to fruition because,
you know, they're slow and steady, yeah, they've got the wings under their belts, but honestly,
like, that is what you need to play, and then, you know, you look at RQ and EZ Flash going in there,
doing something crazy with the power fight, and failing from there, so like,
They've been playing the game the whole time.
Yeah, and Grace will right now look at the band legends going into the final game.
What's truly popping out at you?
I mean, the biggest thing is Alter got banned so late, actually.
We saw Dinos get used out of that for the longest of time.
RRQ as well, they paid it for quite a bit.
So I think that some of these teams is ahead on a strategic level.
The only thing is that, sure, the finals tomorrow might be longer, could be a little bit shorter.
But seeing that you have to like being able to pull that off in that moment, not just following what everybody else is playing, but saying,
hey guys, why is Alter, she's not bad, let's just let's just roll with her for as long as we can, and it really paid off huge.
Yeah, I mean, honestly, one of the biggest things about that is the game Dinos won, the Stormpoint game out by Northpad.
It was, they were the only Alter in the lobby and they won the game.
And I'm thinking to myself, how is this character this underused at this point?
specifically, Rimboussot saying why they don't use this broken character.
Yeah, literally. I was like, 2-0 game 9.
We kept talking about the Legend Band, and for that to move on,
we used to see that character band first or second, in fact,
and, you know, not even one or two events ago.
And now we're at this point, so we talk about the, you know,
what it'd be really interesting to see the comps coming out of this game 10
because of so many Legend Band.
I mean, a lot of these players are probably digging pretty deep into their character pool
and how they can perform, so it'll be interesting to see what we come up with.
And now we've got to think about some of those team stores at bottom, right,
that have absolutely nothing to lose.
and that can just cause chaos in this lobby.
Aurora being one of them, we've seen some of the other teams as well.
Which team do you guys think is going to cause even more chaos going into this last match?
And maybe stop some of those top teams that are trying to be in there in the top six,
just a couple points away from getting into the top six.
I mean, honestly, obviously I'm rooting for Aurora, but it's wearing me thin at this point.
I am really stretching thin, trying to believe in Cope.
But I would like to say, this game is going to be absolutely crazy.
We saw 14 Team Circle 2's own yesterday, today, I mean, they might as well be 10,
because the teams that are already pretty much secured into finals
are feeling super happy, relieved that they can just play for fun,
honestly, and just go run everybody down,
whereas everybody else on the bottom is absolutely terrified,
but they literally have to throw haymakers,
because now you need like 30 points, 40 points to secure a spot.
That's no easy win.
I gotta ask you a question. Since we've been here, this last game we saw a lot of the teams that were in the bottom five
They all desperate it died early
There was a lot of the middle of the pack in the top that were still left if you're going into this last game and you're one
Of the teams that's kind of sitting in the middle
Are you going for the kills or are you thinking that so many teams are gonna be desperate in just head to the end game?
I mean the teams that might be on the cusp of 60 feet in the 55 60s
They should just pay for like as you said going to zone just pay the easy
Make sure to hold space properly to get those points on the board and at that point
You're kind of paying into a hoping that it doesn't shuffle too much everybody beneath that play rank boys
This is literally ranked at this point. You just got to drop 20 kills as a team to make up for it
I mean you have to honestly pull up. It's all a little bit of use pull out the red bar
Okay, I just do do something because you have like you need a 20 bomb the final game is ready
Let's see who's gonna be stepping up as we send it over to Barney and Luty
Ladies and gentlemen, we are fast approaching, dropping into our 10th and final game of the
survival stage. It is now or never, it is do or die. And so, let's set the scene, okay?
Between 10th place and 6th place right now is just 9 points, so everything can change
in this map. So, we're going to talk about our bubble teams for a second. That's from
5th to 8th, where everything can move. So if you hear your team name, make some noise.
In 5th, we have Ninjas in Pyjamas, E-Star.
In 6th place, we have Enterforce 36.
In 7th place, we have JD Gaming.
And in 8th place, we have Dinos.
Currently, and it's gonna get spicy, Lucy.
Yes, it's gonna be extremely hot in the Bed-Av's and Bissieu's.
We're here, the French, I'm counting on you.
It's the last game.
It's now that it's playing.
Ladies and gentlemen,
This is the last game of the survival search, so please be ready because
MAKE SOME NOISE IT'S NO NEVER!
Let's head over to our casters and get this game underway.
Final game everybody, it is a survivor stage, it's do or die.
JD Gaming know what is at stake we saw, their pow wow 65 points
with their backs against the wall of a team being in the top six.
They're right outside of it, Tiff.
This is it right here.
Not only that, but Keshara was giving the boys over at Dino's in eighth place.
A conversation, advice from his years of competitive experience.
Both boys were 10 in the Americas, split one pro league,
and now they're fighting for a chance to get into the split one match point finals here at the playoffs.
Who's in the Grief Who? This is what I always look out for. Who is going to Grief Who?
Because we're now already chasing right behind K and C currently.
And it's gonna be a little trade-off here in Monument, but then you highlight the teams that
desperately really wanted to stay alive. Nukino Cho being at 13 with 44 points. I mean it would
literally be a miracle right? So then when you have the space off right here it could just be
an open season for the team to want to get some easy KG.
We are those who's gonna be able to now try to send it over to the other side of the wall
But a war man. This has just been a different story for a team that led the way within their new region of pro league
It's no rev octane, but breaking out the mirage
The axle the Bangalore
The only thing on their mind right now is run it down and as we look at the ring
We're pulling up to that top right-hand side deep cross gaming your 10th place team already
just on the outskirts Shopify rebellion and her first 36 also making their way
up as JD gaming wick for a quick rotate I'm looking at wolves your third place
team 75 points by the way which should in theory be the statistical benchmark for
sixth place crawling up through the south you know it's cooked here right
when you see some teams rocking out double vantage I mean it's tough you see
the one mirage right from Aurora is what you could expect in our final game for the teams
that know they have nothing to lose.
Aurora now trying to gree 4-1 by the way.
A team at 77 now getting that first knock.
Aurora are upset and if they can't have it nobody can affect them.
Moving up getting stole down by the gossik bears they lose on the earth though and you'll
be going to follow up next.
Goes out next.
4-1 get eliminated and Aurora griefed them in the process they look at what was going
They deviate their attention, they take care of Ford Fod, let's see if they're safe, but
as you mentioned, they do have 77 points at least.
Statistically speaking, we should be good, but this lobby could be wild as flat.
They're only choice to be Hyper Agro and Zip Line Mafia in ninth.
Find one of them.
Getting a little bit of revenge for the Diamond Boys, I ain't gonna lie because Flat was trying to grief them
them and it actually set Dinos back a little bit because they're sitting in eighth place overall with 64 points
While we do have a quick pause
It's important to highlight why zipline mafia wanted to get the KP the mid climb right there too for a spider-man
But the mid climb and also the highlight in the fact that flat now are down to a solo with zipline mafia
Knowing what they need to do to find themselves in the top six anything
Any KP with 63 points one point different between themselves and dinos
two points between zipline and JD gaming that is just how tight it's been as we
take a look at the audience but man this zone is pulling all the way up to the
north on world's edge the cheers from the zipline mafia fans man we saw them
trying to take that fight over by pride rock on the outskirts of mirage at 12
they knew what was at stake here all the way from Kazakhstan to Kazakhstan to
support the boys at Sip Line Mafia.
They just need six points to get into that sixth place slot.
But honestly, Vicki, the fact that you
have to kind of prey on the downfall of other teams
in this lobby to fall so that you can take their place
is one of the craziest things, but hearts
are going to break today.
Happens to every single land, and it always saddens me,
but this is what happens when you want to climb your way
to the top.
This is the level of competition
that we have on our hands.
It's what you scream for.
It's what you wake up early for, or 20 minutes
before scrims if you're some people.
It happens, right?
But you lock it in.
You give up everything in order to be your best
to get into those match point finals, to hoist that trophy,
and back into the game we go.
What a place to come back out, by the way.
Drop said not today, they're gonna avoid taking it a damage as they take the portal, avoid the nade.
Heard that Arcstar and Drop now moves up together with the rest of GK.
This is the risky part too, when you're at 71 points, you know the teams that wanna try to trow from behind you,
may not have anything to lose, wanna be able to scoop you up, try to diminish your chances on making it within the top 6,
but they do get away because BXX show face against TI, we get to see Zift Light now,
Follow up on the double that they saw and take out onto flat earlier before but still down to a solo
That's what matters here. We have to see if they were able to get the reason it does look like that
They did the fight over on the back end between TI E and PXX. I mean PXX
No chance for them. Honestly. I mean sitting second to last right on top of flat same thing for TI E
It's gonna be really difficult nearly impossible, but it's from zipline mafia. It's not impossible for this team
That's why they're looking to far fly me.
Hey, more for us, if anything.
We'll absolutely take those.
You think we left?
Absolutely not.
Can't act with the already 45.
Flap get eliminated and get the revenge for the Dino Squad.
And they get more KPVL.
Gen G, get eliminated.
That's it for Gen G. They're outside the top six.
They only have 46 points in 12 place.
But Aurora wipe another team.
And if we're looking for 75, we're still 31 points.
outside of that number. But team by team as they fall, they're channeling the aurora spirit of old,
the aurora that shakes things up and causes chaos. But they're just getting started.
What was this? Hello? Imagine doing that in game two? I mean, maybe when they feel like they want
some revenge, they want to greet all their teams, this is the different look of aurora. I mean,
I mean, they literally have to completely wipe out this lobby.
Oh my goodness, the Cyberfighter.
Remember, I talked about the Vantage.
We have two Vantage's in this lobby.
And Neo running for their life as a solo.
It's another one of these teams where
really difficult last nine game series.
We have 10 total games in the survivor stage,
and they're literally trying to survive.
Dino too, being one of the teams on that cusp.
They still need to show face.
You see, Zion on the other side,
which chopped hot rebellion on the other end
with 52 total points.
but the way that they're bumpering down
from the other side while Cole, from NIP,
do five floating, that's gonna be a really important fight
to look at between JDGaming.
For Dyno now, in ninth place,
you just kinda have to amped cover it out,
hold onto your building, and do what you can.
They had a 26 point win in mat number six,
and it still wasn't enough to keep them in the top six.
For Zipline Mafia currently three points
Outside that top six, Aurora meets them on the outside of Geyser.
At least you do have Kazak on the path for some extra mobility,
but choices are gonna have to be made
and choices will be costly.
I mean, Aurora knows, with the Surrey League,
and they know who's wagering at Geyser and zipline moff.
You have way more to lose, obviously, than Aurora.
That's gonna be scary.
RQ will be real here.
Are pretty safe.
They have 80 points.
They're literally in first place.
It does benefit them when you look at the PY drop
and goes into that final lobby.
But that same pressure that applies to a Zipline Monk
and Dino, JDG, doesn't really apply there.
Well, PXX know that, are trailing behind them,
trying to harass them when you've got nothing to lose.
Headlock in hand.
See, by the way, in the feed,
Cole still finding heads, still finding Zinu
without giving up the position over to the north side.
To be expected, and you're 100% right with ROQ
as you see strafing flame out into the distance,
PXX hunting them down. It would take what six teams to leapfrog above 80. That's not happening.
Statistically, they're good. But PXX still out for blood.
Here they find straight through while they're at it too, right? And they can't keep for them, but they just know at this point.
Moving on to the next one. TIE being another one.
You see how they're gonna be trying to reset on the outskirts against WGR Neal?
One of those teams here, a little ballistic.
I love the variety we're getting here in the game, number 10.
The only issue with some of these teams out, down that top, the bottom 15, right?
If they point sponge the kills, the team trying to get in top 6 will find it difficult.
F-Chan, 1 HP, dives to the inside, ult comes through, and when you have one member left standing,
You're chasing down the white Grim Reapers.
We know they're now staying alive here and going to be able to get this reset as well as this finishing blow.
It's just kind of those fights and discourages over by countdown, but honestly those two teams being on the later half of things,
not really at risk here considering that they won't break a bone.
Now you have Yanks, who have been in the top three this whole time, putting on a master class, dealing with the Grim Reapers.
The Grand Reapers are all about effects, including on and before himself on Wednesday the live
for now.
He does get traded off though.
It's gonna be zipped by Mafia, scooping that up for themselves.
Our war got eliminated.
We're out of this lobby.
They won't make it for the finals.
Stunned with the tournament as well as Ty out in 16th place.
Back to Wolves we go.
78 points should seal the deal for them to advance on to match point finals tomorrow.
GK NIP and her force 36 those are what people are looking to take and it's
zipline mafia trying to get the kills to do so this is so crazy from zipline
mafia this is such a quick plan from them they're claiming names are finishing
these knocks no name running for his life but walking another little scene
with 78 points remember for fun got eliminated first they are at 77 points
and still in the top three.
A safety net while Wolves though,
do overtake them, getting that extra KP puts them
in that second place spot, staying alive here
and getting this nice job back in.
I hear vantage though in the game.
VP lose out on Pestis.
British Pro right now.
Being in the 18th spot once again,
another one of those teams man that
came out swinging pro league now,
falling short alongside a war that we said goodbye to earlier
but looking side by side at what's at stake,
it's really Zipline Mafia who are cleaning up this KK.
The furnace pro are gone, ran right into the trio of WGR Neo.
Getting all of the loot here on the Western side.
Now we set our attention to where we need to go.
Keep in mind guys, VKG did get a care package.
They do have a Kraber and they are in the center of zone,
but that team is in 15th place on the leaderboard.
So keep tabs on who needs to rotate.
Dinos on that Eastern side have Kina tropes just outside of them.
Zip line Mafia and Wolves coming from fragment.
And the epicenter team is Nr4's 36 who have a longbow
and have angles on the teams trying to make some of these moves.
That's why we've seen them absolutely bully some of the teams
rotating around that area.
And it's good because when you have to highlight just how
many points you need, this is what this final game is all about.
This is why you're seeing these teams kind of going out of the way
outside of Zonga Wolves trying to keep themselves alive because Zipline Mafia are on the hunt,
a team that needs this way more.
Leo, do you get eliminated in your feeds?
But just to recap, it's insane to talk about that.
VP will not be in this final lobby.
Top header here when it comes to Pro League, same thing for Aurora, it's Ustala Vista,
but it's making way for these other teams to now create their own path.
The Zipline want to put their name on the table.
They take out Wolves Eastmore.
hungry with 4kp in the pocket of Mikyu. And they have 8 kills, 12 squads remaining, and
it's still not enough to be in top 6. It's because the benchmark keeps moving, Nr. 436
is finding kills inside the top 6. Ninjas and pajamas with those placement points still
holding out by just one point. So what does Zipline Mafia do? You set your sights on the
The next team...
Who's gonna be the next victim? It's the question.
They're gonna be right behind Kino Trope.
Round three closing behind their backs, and if they time this well,
EK are gonna be on the other side of Kino Trope. Zipline could sandwich them.
They could also take a roundabout rotation through the southern side of Epi.
Team RRQ would also be on the other side. It was Icy Rocks here.
with PXX inside that next zone on the Ascot to Survey
Campus while VK gave in.
And GK on your screen holding the fourth place slot
by just two points.
Knocked down, dropped, healing.
And at their back, they seem to have stabilized,
but Kina Trope has damages and Zipline Mafia
are definitely looking to capitalize on that.
Does that save GK for now? Definitely.
This isn't safe for Zipline Mafia right now,
They just need one more TP and they overtake it against NIP.
And now KNC, noting that they're right behind them.
Zipline, Mafia, they see it inside the possibilities
on joining the legs of Falcons of Liquid.
It's here and now Chappy may be the next victim,
but we are actually taking a different off angle.
He's up on the high ground.
Zipline, Mafia, fully healed at the three men.
They get the next knock.
The Cossack Gasto does answer back
and is able to get the knock into his teeth,
It's fine. They have no advantage. Zipline is a claim is safe.
Same Chappy. They need to finish him off.
GK now show up though. That's Kino Trump. Get eliminated.
This is very riskier enough because of GK.
Oh no.
But we're in. And here comes GK.
GK who want to solidify their spot in that top six did not let it go here.
Everything rides as two players.
It's just Kazak last alive. It's the Pathfinder.
Oh, do we get a res?
Do we go back to a duo?
He pulled it off, he pulled it off, he pulled it off.
Let's see if they can even get closer to that.
Oh, no, there's another team in the vicinity.
That's Team RQ, who are now actually moving away
from the edge of zone.
It's one member of RQ.
I believe they may have scanned the survey
to get over by the middle of Epi.
They see them from right below them,
and they're griefing them.
This is scary for Zyphite Mafia,
who are now overtaking NIP.
Top six, they have time to catch Epi,
because it's their life!
That may be it, it depends on what NIP has to say,
Because NIP now, with 72 points, find themselves above man.
They had to stay alive.
Their RQ stopped their chances.
And with NIP still alive and feeling
pressure from BK Gaming and replacement alone,
this sets up NIP to feel a little bit more secured.
And this is the next fight.
Your fourth and sixth place teams
could collapse here on this rotation.
GK trying to not make a lot of noise.
You see NIP, you see some Dinos, they're down below.
And Vayne with a Craver in hand.
Honestly, with NIP winning game seven earlier,
that's it, because they would've won anyways
if there was a tiebreaker in this top six.
So NIP overtaking Zipline, it's Ustalivice and Zipline too.
Good try here at that final zone now,
as the Ninjas of Pajamas have bunkered down.
Not safe though, not safe.
JDG, Dinos, deep cross gaming still in it.
And as we say that, JDG underfired the mobile shield.
The maid's being slawned to them.
Former winners of EWC will not be in that last lobby too,
by the way, these guys, you went out earlier in 10th,
DCG eliminated next.
Well, JDG keep their dreams alive, 68 points.
They're looking to overtake NIP, but the question is,
can they stay alive in this pile up?
Enter force 36, getting more and more kills,
is leaving them just inside the top six.
GK needs more, NIP needs more,
and JDG's gonna need a lot to break into it,
but I see JDG going down on the kill feed,
and GK trying to take down RRQ.
JDG are out!
They do not get the chance to find themselves
in that final lobby while GK,
they were forming E36 helping them out
to secure the second place spot for themselves,
maybe even overtake our RQ.
In Luzza, our drop here.
They slide in, women's jumps in half,
and 2K are the next to go.
Last six quads, RQ lead it with first place, NIPC.
Another day still with E36 RQ, NIP.
Dinos, could be the next story is the question.
Dinos need 10 points, 10 points,
and sit up last alive marked by a vantage at 79 points should theoretically be safe.
Dino's on the other side of this portal they thought that they get the reset
they're looking above shuffle my bing the umbrella above Dino's head the meteor
that could keep them extinct.
NIP now playing up the road on the fact
that they're still alive is so good for them.
Not trying to get aggressive, playing defensively.
They've been peppering the damages.
E36 on the next to go.
NIP is sixth place with 75 points.
And as we approach the end of our final game
in the survival series, Bane, Leigh Siege puts
the mortal at their feet.
The threat right now for NIP being dinos,
I mean, they're stuck with their backs against the wall, but NIP trying to make a play for this.
They look at my Shopify, and now they know that their attention is flipping to two people.
NIP are feeling pressure.
Shopify could help them if only it looks at this direction, but Dinos are also harassing them with Bay.
Having the Krabber in their hands...
Oh my god, the collab!
Are you kidding me?
Oh, DJ's out, and so is Dinos, and any chance of them making it into that next round!
to the final three teams we go Shopify they drop down 64 points hold I'm holding
64 points of difference in six places 77 with these guys
they now moves up alternator creeper and Andy goes out Shopify down down to one
side who's one shot last three squads PXX move up they're looking to take the jump
Jumping by getting eliminated, no chance here!
To the final two!
This is the last fight, and PXX are your champions!
But unfortunately the top six is lost!
What a survival stage here in Paris!
The 10-game gauntlet is over.
And as you look around and you see the score line, some celebrating.
Others' hearts breaking, but four fun on your screen right there.
Who went out so early in match 10.
just had to wait and see but it's the fans who are here to support you they
support you in your wins they support you in your losses and they carry you
through those hard times
our Q chance as they deserve the team who has taken first place in this
Survivor saved with 89 total points and I P surviving till the end allows them to
overtake the second place spot overtake E36 where now they are in second E36
at least by themselves in third but our last six teams who will be in our final
lobby our RQ and IP E36 Wolves for fun was a first of all while in that last
last game. Have a bit of breathing room. They tied that together with GK, who are the last
team for our top six cutoff. For the others who just missed out, Zip Line Mafia, so many
kills in that game. Doing everything gate kept by so many teams fighting your way.
I'm talking we're double digit kills we are doing our best but the teams in the top six
just kept on doing more in that last game and staying alive.
It's very emotional here. A wolf's man today.
Hey, can't wait to see more from this team, man.
There were fantastic top four finish.
A great performance here.
No name going crazy.
I think he dropped like, what,
14 total KP over the course of these last 10 games.
Weng says, well, 19.
Amazing performance and you mentioned, you know,
being emotional seeing the players
that were right outside the cusp.
But congratulations.
This is what we love to see at our ALGS land.
You don't get this anywhere else.
You don't, the region's coming together to celebrate.
APAC South teams, Wolves eSports, we are number one seed.
Our RQ staples in the APAC South scene.
And the family and the fans just waitin' to celebrate.
You can see right there, Mama Vayne, ninjas and pajamas.
It's, you know, if it really touches you in a different way, but I do need to highlight
the teams that unfortunately did not make it by a slim, zipline mafia who started waking
up with what they needed doing that last game, that's surviving.
So many teams looking at them.
DK being part of that. That's why they didn't need to secure their back into that zone.
Dinos have to give credit to this team. With a lack of land experience, they came in swinging
through pro league and here at LAN. DJ dropping 19 kills. JD Gaming, after the performance
today. Floating is your kill leader in this entire lobby with 23 total kills.
Finding themselves in nine plays overall, it makes you wonder when you dwell on certain actions in a series like this, we have 10 games.
You have to recall towards game number one. Taking that flanking angle, maybe getting that win. What could that have done?
I don't like what if moments Vicky.
I mean, you gotta review man, this is what happens, you got that trophy right in front of you, when you know what's on the line.
This is the level of competition Shopify, who are behind them too.
Bringing in phony, playing alongside Zaynou once again, it's a very hard position to be in, it's very emotional.
And you have to give credit to the teams that were able to make those adjustments such as Shopify.
Even DCG coming at feedback end, but...
The Survivor stage is now played out.
We get to welcome our next top 16s who do end up advancing.
Well, while everyone celebrates or gets everything together,
let's get down to the stage. Barney has an interview for us.
I'm going to be a little bit
more serious. I'm going to be
more serious. Ladies and
gentlemen, the survival stages
now over six teams go through
into tomorrow's match point
finals, and I've got the boys
from RQ joining me. I've got
spicy. I see dude. We just had
a very quick Jack for rent life.
He said. That was stressful. I
feel him right now. Does it feel
like a weight off his shoulders?
You for you for a one word
Translate that.
Obviously, you're very stressed, but more than that, he's euphoric.
I guess one of the more important questions is how does it feel to know that your team can perform under pressure going into tomorrow?
It definitely feels great. The last two days haven't been great for us, obviously.
Choked are pretty easy, like winners run, and I tried it to the finals, but being able to show up here,
I finally was pulling out of his mind, I was doing more things, just killing everyone.
Everyone did their part, and it felt great. It felt like a team.
like a team. This feels like a team. Sorry.
He obviously asked what it was about to play under this pressure,
whether it was going to be a win for tomorrow.
He said, obviously, that the first two days
were not extremely well-placed for them.
But then, as much as it's really, very well-placed,
his teammates, his 2-1-1 club,
we do exactly their job.
And suddenly, they're confident for tomorrow.
Straight from play.
Tell me about the journey through the EWC so far this year.
Obviously, Pricey said that the first two days,
first three days, in fact, were pretty tough.
Today, you guys have shone.
It's been amazing.
But like, how has it been for you?
been a rocky road? Yeah, I mean, EWC so far has been like a very unstable roller coaster, I think.
We started off the first day right in second place, second place overall leaderboards and then
we just couldn't get anything going after that. And I mean, it's just about like the mental factor,
right? Like we go into EWC with very little expectations. And then after the first day,
we show like what we're capable of when we're playing not under pressure. And we dominate, right?
And today we went into it with the same mindset again.
It's like, if we go home, then we go home.
All right?
Like, I don't want to lose, but I'm OK with losing.
And my teammates as well, like, did a really fucking good job.
Like, I guess taking that mentality to heart.
And we played like how we were supposed to, you know?
Like, these guys' names explain themselves.
Like, if you ask any competitor, they know about these guys.
These are two of the best players in the game.
And we just, you know, kind of played like it.
Last little question, bro.
Like if you have to shout out to someone who is here but didn't make it if you have one team you want to shout out for them because they didn't
reach the top six who you want?
Gen G
Did VKG make it?
No VKG didn't make it.
VKG, Gen G, Arora, I think those three teams I really would have hoped that they wouldn't make it.
Maybe see you next time for them.
Yeah.
Alright gentlemen, we're gonna take a little stroll come with me because you by placing in the top spot in our survival stage
I've earned the right to crush 14 keys at one time. So hold on. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Okay
We'll let you know. We'll let you know. Lootie. It's about that time. Whoa
You're scaring me bro. Do you want to happen it? Okay, you press that button and press that button
button. Here we go. And the
harness is now open. It's all
popping off. Here we go. Flame
in three, two, one.
Send them home.
I think so.
You know what? It's okay.
Things can be fixed. But the
reality is that
the 14 keys are now
too strong. He's too strong.
And so with that being said, our survival
The stage is now coming to a close, but before we let you go, we're going to send you over to Reinde.
It's like they believe he's got some interviews for you guys.
Well, 20 teams stepped foot into the arena today, knowing that only six would find a way to the mountaintop.
At least a chance to climb it with tomorrow's greatest stay in esports, as I have like to call our match point finals.
Six teams have just moved on, but it was without any hesitation that they said they could do it.
anyone in this lobby had that opportunity.
But of course, it means despair is on the other side of those who will not be joining us.
However, this survival stage gave us all of the drama, all of the excitement,
all of the passion that you expect from an Apex Legends eSports LAN.
And what better way to kick off the anticipation for tomorrow's match point finals
than to talk head to head to two of the teams who have just looked there.
tickets of course I'm talking about NIP yeah you can make some noise if you want
representatives all around the house all around the world and IP what an
organization of course DK eSports as well this is a team that has been there
they know what it's all about I've got Cole right next to me I'm looking at him
and I think I'm gonna start with you Cole you guys man that last game was
something. I was worried for you back there. DK was out waiting, watching. I'll
get their perspective, but from your eyes, what was it like going through that
final zone? I mean, I don't even really remember it to be honest. I was just
so hyped about getting second and just knowing we called before it even ended.
We knew we were called, so it was a great feeling. Listen, I told you I would retire
the nickname McLovin, but you are playing like the guy that everybody took note of
When you were coming from the Challenger circuit, how does it feel to just be on your game right now?
It feels great. I'm just glad we pulled it back from the first two days and we're able to make it and also
This is about the fourth time you said that
You just you're just it's just so good bring it back call bring it back
Okay, I got a switch over because he was getting mad at me Keon
This is a group that I talked to you about earlier
This is a group that just feels right fits your play style these guys feel like they are home for you
you guys have made it into that match point finals.
It's time to make history,
but what does this moment mean to you
making it out of Survivor State?
I mean, we were down, but you know, we're not out.
And that's all that matters, you know, bad draft,
it doesn't matter, we had a bad draft coming here.
You know, and now we kind of figured it out going in
to this elimination round, so we're excited.
Noct, I want to talk to you a little bit
because you've been there with this gentleman right here.
I'm going to step in between you two drops.
You guys have teamed before on Optic,
obviously representing GK now.
The journey, the brotherhood, means something to you,
but also just getting results here in this moment
has to mean something to you as well, Matt.
Yeah, we always find a way to make it really hard
on ourselves to get to finals,
but usually we perform there, so I'm excited for it.
You know, Dropped, I want to talk about family
because you got some family supporting you, huh?
Yeah, my dad's here supporting, yeah.
How does that feel?
I talked to him in the stands.
He said some kind words.
I won't reveal them to you.
He said them on tape, so maybe watch back the show.
What does it feel to you knowing
that someone like that is rooting for you in these moments
where one point can make the difference of going home
and a season being done or having a chance at $2 million.
Yeah, no, it means everything.
You know, my dad being here, he supports me no matter what.
And as long as I'm doing my best, so I just always know that.
And I always do my best because of that reason.
Second place, you guys have both been there.
Seen that stolen away by some of the ropes from Sweet
is no longer even playing in Apex eSports right now.
Knocked, is this finally time to climb the mountain top tomorrow?
Hopefully, I mean, we got some good momentum going in.
I feel like we played pretty well today
until the last two games, so yeah.
I need to get a little bit of spice heading over here.
Keon, I might ask you a question about these guys
in a second, but let me do this with Vayne and with Curev,
because Vayne, you've been here before.
You've actually been a champion,
but there's been a little bit of a conversation
about that championship because it was online at that time.
We didn't have a chance to meet all in land.
We didn't have a chance to do it in a way
that we would have loved to do to things
can't control in the world, does this help that feeling of saying I deserve to be there,
I deserve to be in these finals moments like this?
Yeah, for sure. I mean, you know, winning an online championship is great. And then,
you know, a couple months in, it's like, you know, it was online, it was this, it was that,
you know, but it feels good to be online and to keep improving. And like, I'm not the most
experienced side gel, but, you know, thanks to my team for believing in me and letting
me make mistakes and just, you know, rolling with the punches and we'll get
there. So and your mom is here. Yeah. Yeah. My mom's right there. Shout out,
Mama. Vane. I see you in the crowd. We love the parents representing man. I
mean, that's such an awesome story as well. And and cure if I want to I want to
get to you said these guys, they feel just like you guys are all the same guy,
all the same vibe, all the same brothers. How important is that going into a
moment where everyone is against you, especially in a lobby where we're
really life changing money and opportunities are on the line tomorrow.
I mean, there's literally nothing better than just like being able to just like come here and play the most hype tournament there is, you know, for a lot of money, plus within your like, I don't know, like literally the best teammates you could ever have, you know, like, it's like, not only like a friendship, but like fucking, when doing, it comes to collect, doing the work and stuff, they're always like serious and stuff.
So, I mean, there's not very feeling good for sure.
It's been so great talking to you guys.
Now I'm going to get a little bit of a conversation with Keon.
Just quickly previewing tomorrow.
Obviously, you got a team right here
who fought the same battle that you did.
And to me, I think there's momentum coming into a tournament
after going through adversity.
Who are you worried most about heading into tomorrow?
And it can't be we're not worried about anybody.
We love our own game.
That's the right answer.
But who is a team that you have your eyes on?
You know that's going to bring it.
I mean, I'm rooting for everybody in NA
when it comes to grand finals.
Obviously we're rooting for ourselves, you know, anybody would answer that I'm not I
Don't know. I think I think anything that's won a land. That's what I'm worried about
I want those guys to not win another, you know, I mean, I'm ready for a new champion to rise up
And then like the only other thing crypto bro get that guy out
Cole with key on saying it's gonna be them
What do you have to say to that because obviously this is a good team
They just went through your journey, but it can only be one of you. I
I mean, they've said it before we even came. We're here to win. That's all I'm gonna say.
I like it. There's the pop of support right there. I absolutely love it. Gentlemen, this
is one of those moments that you don't get very often. Soak it up. Enjoy it as well.
I'm gonna leave you guys here one final word to your fans, to your friends, to your family,
whoever you want to make it out. Cole, I'll leave it with you.
Thank you everyone who raised for us and thank you for believing in us. Even when times are
And we'll go to Knott's here because I think I've kind of hit this moment big moment for you man
And what do you want to say final moments to GK or to anybody's been supporting it?
Yeah, thanks for to GK for supporting us and all of our families, you know
We got some family here shots them and everyone back home
All right. Well, what a moment guys the survival stage is set
It's done and these two teams along four others will be playing tomorrow for two million dollars in the chance to hoist
This trophy the ALGS split one playoffs at EWC
2026 is only just beginning you better join us
Died sprite rain day
That's right, Randy. I mean you said it best two million dollars on the line
And there will be a new champion as VK gaming the reigning champions have not made it
two match point finals, but one team that has definitely made it. It's none other than R.R.Q. Lace.
The reverse cast-a-curse worked.
I don't know what I pulled in from the universe, but I'm staring deep into the camera to say it actually
worked. What an exceptional performance from the boys. I got a chance to sort of message partner really quickly to the coach of R.R.Q.
to give my congratulations and also don't you know block me off Twitter because I said what I said but
look their consistency and you even heard it from strafing before saying that yeah we kind of choked
in a fair few matches so the fact that they could bring it together and and kind of like reset that
mentality and because Pahnem basically said it's not the skill from this team it's the mentality
and then strafing's like you know what if we go home that's okay but they didn't want to they're
going through and they get a chance at that two million dollars. That's right. I mean talking
about consistency, this team has been really consistent. They have been able now to make it
to match point finals. They have played groups, they have played survival today, and they haven't
won a single match yet. They're going to match point finals. I mean, honestly, I think even
Nock himself said that, you know, the adversity and sometimes they just messed it up for themselves.
I think R&RQ is a great example of that. The example being you're either just pumping off in a game or two,
or you have easy flash sipping straight into a rock and pretty much anything.
But however, when you can keep your head up and keep going through it,
being through all the nit gritty, tenacity, patience, absolutely everything,
you need to pull out absolutely everything to make it this far.
And consistency or not, if you're at that top of the leaderboard, you can go really far in the final snipe.
Okay, well, Snipe, I know you haven't been hot on this squad, RRQ, you would...
I mean, you picked them to not even be here, but they end up being in first place,
and you can see right there the top six teams that will be handing to the match point finals.
But I got one question for you, Snipe, in regards to team RRQ.
Have you seen enough from that squad to possibly see them lift the trophy tomorrow and take home $600,000?
Yeah, I mean, this team has had...
they've been in the grand finals multiple times this exact roster and they you know they we know
how strafing claim has been they've had multiple chances to win some tournaments in the past but
i think what i've seen is that they have the capability to dominate a lobby and get top two
or they end up in the bottom three to four and end up completely you know fluking out and uh i
think that's just one of those teams where you don't know what to expect i think strafing might be
the only competitor here that says we're okay with losing i have not heard anyone that would
say that on that stage so i mean maybe that takes the pressure off of them and makes it feel you
you know, like a little more natural.
Yeah, maybe that's their own way of thinking, you know,
you know, let's just have some fun.
Let's go out there, you know, do what we do best
and see what happens.
And, you know, when it, when it's flow state,
it's flow state, we see how well they do.
And when it's not going well,
seems like they have trouble finding a way to get out of that.
So it'll be interesting to see tomorrow,
but I mean, who knows, we'll wait.
I mean, even then 50 placement point is absolutely crazy.
That makes you pretty much in every single end game
at some point, whether that be in top five,
whether that be in top three or two,
you're still hitting every end game.
They know how to play the zone and having good macro in this lobby, but can that, you know, can they keep that form up for tomorrow because those are 14 other teams that you have to adapt to their macro, their playstyle and how they play.
And a big heartbreak too here on the second page. You can see not only JNG, you see Aurora as well laced. They just weren't able to do enough, even though they were full sending it in the last match.
match. Yeah, it was just too late. Wasn't it? Yeah, it was sort of like you had a fair
few games to just kick things off with 10 games. And on that 10th one, it just didn't
make it enough. If they I think if they would have had that same kind of energy going into
the first couple of matches, it would have been the way there would have been the way
now going the opposite way. We talked about consistency from RQ, even though they really
haven't been able to win a game, a team that has been able to win some games. And was it
able to win actually two games today at the Scarf and then almost at the end for
fun has been able to win those games. I mean for fun is still one of we talk
about them as well those are players from the EMEA region that are like they've
had their fair share of history not necessary to the success to the degree
that they think they deserve but I think a lot of people actually think that they
deserve. I've teamed with Tyler myself so that thing has been absolutely
phenomenal and then Naxx has been on roster always been he's been the glue
to most rosters that he's been performing on, but on this land it's actually about them being
co-existent with each other, taking space. I still remember that draft point game that they played
and they're just capable of over-taking the game and that's the type of pro activity you need to go
far. Now as we've been watching survival stage here at ALGS at EWC26, we've been keeping a close
eye, especially use night. We've been keeping a close eye on a player and that is NIP Cole.
And I know you were saying that you feel like his gameplay is very underrated.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I absolutely think he's one of the more underrated players,
and he gives so much credit and hype around to other players around the league that I think it's
time that, you know, people put that same hype on his name. I think he brought a lot to this roster
that they were missing. Kirev and Vayne are very good at speaking to each other and making sure
that they have things locked down and allow Vayne to be the best IGL as possible. Kirev has also
been an IGL in the past, and it, you know, they all know what they're doing without needing to be
be told what to do. And Cole was a pretty new player.
He came through Challengers, fell on a roster that, you know,
had not much hype around it to begin with.
And for them to excel to the point where they are winning pro league,
winning regional finals, and now they're at this event.
And every day they've gotten better and better.
I think it's, it really is time to put respect on his name
and the rest of that team's name.
Because it comes down to at these events,
you have every single one of these teams is incredible.
Every one of these teams is amazing.
And you have four days to prove it.
It doesn't matter how good you were leading up to this.
You have four days to prove that you are meant to be in that Grand Finals lobby.
And if you screw up in any of those days, you know, it's not who the best team is.
All around the truth, the best team is in that five day span this weekend.
Yeah, and I mean, those four days have flown by.
And now we will be heading nowhere to that match point finals tomorrow.
So make sure you tune in.
But we before we head over there, I mean, we have so many amazing teams as well.
Is there one team lays for tomorrow that you're going to be keeping an eye on?
Wolves, we're still going to watch Wolves.
We saw them go crazy. We saw them go absolutely insane and you know, put respect on no name.
But yeah, I'm still backing that. They can do it because it is like a match point format and
they come out kicking and swinging. How about you, Griswold? Bro, I think this is going to sound
really old and old. You know me here. You are in a part of that history as well. I think elite
because if they keep their momentum and they win this whole thing, we haven't seen anything this
dominant since old old TSM roster I would say we haven't seen any team just pop off a whole tournament and just crush it all
This way if they can make it tomorrow, so I put you got I kind of have I mean man
I'm liquid's been really hot so I'll go with the team who's been up there as well
But I actually kind of have a question do we think Falcons is an underdog going into this final with how they've been performing this week?
I mean they had so much hype but they also didn't perform that long probably they were fifth in overall and I've never seen them place that low
They're usually you know top one top two minimum and then coming in they're usually top of the leaderboard all through gameplay
It's like are you know are we underestimating them because they have been a little bit slow throughout this week
They win first game and then they drop 0-0-0. They're about 14 after the next five
Maybe that clutch moment is gonna show up in match point finals. Make sure you tune in tomorrow
We will have a new champion VK gaming has not made it through they have been sent home
along with a lot of teams and just to remind you this are the teams that are
gonna be showing up tomorrow from survival you got team RRQ you got NIP
which has stepped it up in a big big way especially here in survival E36
Wolves e-sports for fun and DK they will be joining the other
squads that have been waiting since group stages I can't wait to see what's
gonna happen here at ALGS at EWC26 we'll see you tomorrow for match point
finals.
