So I stole the light from the ceiling
The key was all the way to the door
Baby, I'm not too blind
This is too long for me
I'm not too blind
This is too long for me
I'm not too blind
I'm going into a day like today.
Do you focus on keeping the players' mentalities right, giving them a lot of belief, supporting
with the fans?
It's obviously high stakes environments.
Yeah, I think so.
I think, you know, just try to come in with no expectations.
They have the skill, right?
And now it's just like, they just have to believe in themselves and that's it.
Okay, a few words of encouragement to RRQ in case they're looking up at the screens when they're on a break.
What do you want to say to them?
Thank you to all our fans. Keep supporting us.
This team is great. They have a chance to really do great if they make it into the finals.
So keep supporting.
Alright man, thanks for the interview. Appreciate it.
RRQ makes some noise!
There is a common thread at EWC, and it's not just great games and great eSports.
It's great teams.
That's right.
Organizations are the lifeblood.
Not only EWC, but especially the club championship.
And if you feel like you don't have the right merch, well, this is the place for you.
From Team Liquid all the way over to Game and Gladiators.
You've got Wolves.
You've got so many different Jersey Sentinels.

Hello everyone, we are PTA from China.
We are here to introduce you to the Arranco in the Apex lighting.
I think it's very strong.
It must be very strong.
Remember that this is the strongest.
This is a bit difficult.
It's too difficult.
It's too strong.
Except for Krabel, this is the strongest.
I think it's strong.
Yes, it's strong.
That's just a pre-match.
Are you doing pre-match?
Pre-match.
Pre-match.
Pre-match.
Pre-match.
I'm feeling…
It's extremely simple.
This is even more simple.
I think…
I think the KLABO…
KLABO is a little bit more difficult to play.
No, I think the KLABO is the easiest and most easy to play.
Put your gun in the lower section, and shoot it straight to the head, okay?
Shoot straight to the head.
You've put your gun straight to the head.
The easiest to play.
You've chosen the simplest, which one's easiest?
This is the easiest.
Or this one?
These two are the easiest.
These three are the easiest.
Yeah.
These three are the easiest.
This one is the easiest.
This one is the easiest.
No.
I can't understand it all.
I think you can also hear it.
This one can also hear it.
I'm begging you.
This gun is so easy.
What's this?
It's a bow.
Put a diamond on it.
It's hard to use it.
Put it on the wall.
It's so hard to use.
It's hard to use.
It's so hard to use.
Pull it.
That's right.
These three are better than the other three.
That's so good.
They don't have any skills.
They just put the head on it.
I'm telling you.
You can still put the head on it?
Head on it.
Head on it.
Head on it.
Head on it.
What are you doing?
Put the head on it.
Head on it.
Put the head on it.
Head on it.
Head on it.
I know.
I said put the head on it.
This is better than the other three.
This isn't the round.
These three are really easy.
Easy gun.
Easy gun.
Easy gun.
I'm gonna kill you.
Go, go, go.
Go, go, go.
Go, go, go.
All of them are from the same family, right?
Obviously, this one is from the same family,
so it's pretty hard.
Okay, that's it.
Just like this, right?
Just like this, okay?
Just like this.
Okay, okay.
Just like this, right?
Just like this, right?
This is our team,
the three-way line-up of the APAS LINE.
Please come and watch our APAS LINE game.
Thank you, everyone.
Let's go.
I'm going to kill all of them!
I'm going to kill all of them!
If I were to play, I'd want to take the first place.
That's what I've always wanted to do.
I think the team that came up with the int,
was going to disband.
Well, if I think about it now,
I think it's a mental game.
Well, there's no Fnatic in Fnatic, which is a bit lonely, but...
Hello, I'm Yuka Yufu.
This time, I decided to go against Fnatic and go against another team.
Well, if you go against Ketsuna, how do you fight against Kyogi?
There's a reason for that, and before the championship, I got disbanded.
I think that's what makes the year go by.
I think it's more serious.
But you can't forget them as well!
Self-sufficiency now ain't for nothing!
Go on, get back to each thing!
That's the whole strong!
You know, when you have a story of two players who are great
and they part ways, it's rare that they come back.
And when they come back, there's a reason.
I think they both recognize that each other are better
when the other one is involved.
He's always in such an important position in the team.
I haven't changed, but he's even better now.
I'm happy to be with him.
I don't think he's changed that much.
Personally, he has a very strong personality, and he has a good head, so I think he's a player who has his own play.
I think it's the missing piece that Yuka has needed, and he's a threat.
He's just a threat.
This is the best Japanese team that I think we've ever seen.
And I think that if anybody from the attack north is going to lift that trophy at EWC, I would want it to be Yuka.
I want to do my best. I will win.
What?
Wow, the best man ever.
Newcastle's now.
Repeat?
Finish her.
I can't even do that.
Finish?
No.
Finish her.
I can't even do that.
Finish her.
Is there someone in it?
No.
Why is it stabbing?
Stabbing and pulling.
What's with that?
What?
Is it like something that you do every game?
Just knifing?
Popping a bat?
And you pull it out.
Like this farming material or something?
10. Pooling.
Taking Nexus. Reloading?
You recognize this was a good child?
Is it something with like ultimate maybe? No?
Nothing.
Looting Deathbox?
Reviving.
Oh!
Axel Q, motor GP.
Driving a motorcycle.
Eating whilst driving.
Driving to restaurant on motorcycle.
Delivering on motorcycle, on scooter.
Pizza delivery.
Baguette.
Baguette, eating baguette on motorcycle.
I'm Zira from Team Liquid Apex, I heal, and I'm Hustrella.
My name is Sly from Team Liquid Apex and our team bullies each other.
Is my legend a skirmisher?
No.
Is my legend a soul?
No.
Is my legend a soul?
No.
Is my legend support?
Yes.
Is my legend support?
No.
Does my legend have a shield?
No, it's my character Rekon.
Yes, it's my character Hilarity Mates.
Yes.
It's my character in the meta.
I can reason with my first 8 games.
No.
It's my character's old shootout.
I guess.
We have like Vantage, it's Vantage Rekon, Vantage Bloodhound,
She is by a crypto meta, what else is it weak on?
Valk, Valk's meta.
Vantage or M'lannander?
It's my character, Vantage.
Maybe.
Yeah.
Vantage so yes.
Yes.
You have one to crunch as a side.
You got to guess.
This is my character Mirage.
Heal your teammates!
Here.
Mirage? How does Mirage really see mates?
Oh, I'm stupid.
Guys, I just blacked out.
It was Conor and all of them.
No!
Who is it?
Who heals?
Who throws an ult?
And he was looking at it.
What?
He rose an old out, like you said, spits it out, right?
Yeah, he rolled out.
Is it a life line?
Yeah.
I said a shield.
That counts.
Shield?
This it is.
No, what's not?
What?
I said a shield.
You get Newcastle and you know that for a fact.
Well, I was going to get scammed with it, because you were like, we've got a shield
and my brain instantly went, Lifeline did Newcastle, gone.
Sucks to suck.
Dude, why not say Mirage?
I don't know.
I did.
He didn't.
That's a shield, bro.
Hey guys, I'm gonna say you well, and we're playing guess who
I'll go first. M. I
It's just a we're gonna go to simple size just got a soft character. No, you know
Am I female? Yes
My support character. Yes
Do I have a movement ability?
No, technically.
Am I female?
No.
Am I a skirmisher?
No, but make sure I remember those four characters.
Okay.
Am I a big character?
No.
Can I hit console?
No.
And my mirage.
Yes.
So I don't have, I technically don't have a movement ability.
I'm not a skirmisher and I can't hit console.
And I'm female.
Well, we...
Technically not a movement ability, but you can go faster.
And my bangle wall?
No.
Technically not a movement ability, but I can go faster.
Wow.
It is a passive.
It's a passive.
So I have a passive ability that makes me faster.
I'm female, I can't hit console.
Oh, it's gonna be so obvious,
I just can't think of it right now.
You guys fast, conduit.
We'll play, sir.
That's how it's done.
That's how it's done.
That's how it's done.
It'll be a thing, grab it!
That's one!
Oh my gosh!
That's one!
One more round, man!
Really?
Ah!
Ah!
The little CQ!
To one!
Yeah, yes!
I'm believing in duty and thinkable here at Sapporo!
There is not a single member on that roster that is not loved by this community.
Team Culture is the most important aspect to how you thrive as a team and as a unit.
It's with me more than ever, the love for the team, the trust in the team and the friendship
overall.
Winner, winner, winner!
You can go scaffolding too!
Go scaffolding!
You can go scaffolding too, go scaffolding!
I can't be honest and say that I expected this team out of the crazy titans that we had to win it
because their pathing was the hardest. They had to climb through the last chance qualifiers
just to make it there and they did it. They did the hardest pathing that they could possibly do
and that's why it's the Cinderella story that we keep telling it to be.
The MVP of the ALGS year 5 championship is none other than Applivence Blinkster!
I think both of my teammates, you know, as way more experienced players than me,
made me like learn so much more about the game about like stuff that I just never knew
or like ways to see the game that I never like really realized in my past like
while I was at GI with different teammates and they kind of like made me an even better player
than I was by learning the proper way to play Apex that they've experienced in the past.
We're getting nice, rookie!
What?
Thank you.
Reload, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check!
They had such a great time.
If you listen to those comms, the way
that they were able to mesh together,
the way that they were able to early prior rotate
and have so much zone control and constantly
grief people from across the map,
I think all of that is why Oblivion ended up
winning the championship.
Some of the players that have been around the longest
NA patch legends fighting off against each other
And Sentinels have the high ground, Bastion working for Monsoon, but he needs scum and low ground drops, but gets dropped himself!
It's a 1-4-1 at Blinkster!
I think what makes a championship team and just makes you perform well is just being with three dudes who just want to play the game together all the time.
They always want to be around each other.
We did everything together while we were at Lions and stuff and bootcamps.
You couldn't say we were three individuals. We're one unit always, even without an org at the time.
Coming into a fresh land and a fresh pearly split as the Raining World Champs is definitely something that I mean you know it is pressure but it more so motivates me and gives me the confidence and to be able to replicate that and to be consistent in our performances and as a team is the most important part for us.
So trying to showcase that and to showcase our heart and you know love for competing is the most important thing.
He thinks he can come in here and play my game!
He knows nothing but Thor!
Tyler Wine, you're done.
Raw, raw, raw, raw, and it's in!
Raw, raw, raw, raw, and it's in!
Raw, raw, raw, raw, and it's out now!
Alright, 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 vibing, 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 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
He's here and like it's amazing that they all support and show love. It's just awesome. Yeah, man
You guys have some 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 how but you just seem to fit so well with what he's trying to do
Why does that fit work for you guys? I think with how and zero it was like a lot of an ego battle
Yeah, 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 just like take it in because he's a better player
And I'm gonna learn off with 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 appreciate that man. All right panic apex here man young good. How old are you?
19 19 some more apex young guns out here hanging out in Paris
Good explosion here hanging out with unlucky who we managed to find in the crowd
Watching our survival stage games right now. So unlucky obviously
You're sitting pretty right now. 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 rooting for the boys
Especially for Tyler my boy back in Mannheim. We got top three some absolutely rooting for him and also Virtus 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 now 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 I'm very a bit shorter in the EMA Pro League
and they just got in by regional finalists ish.
So I'm very surprised by them.
Shout out to my boy Kanna, he's doing absolutely fantastic
and I just wish him the best.
And overall, I think the other thing is like a rural,
I would say it's like the only thing I would say
that's a bit bad, but I'm sure they can buy.
I know they definitely cut it a little bit closer
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 though so far?
Obviously, you guys have done pretty well
for yourselves,
But what's EWC 2026 been like?
Actually, I'm surprised how they set up everything in such a short time,
changing locations.
I think it's absolutely amazing.
Having the crowd here as well, is a blessing.
Shout out to all the supporters.
I love you guys so much.
And overall, atmosphere is good.
So one final question here for you, unlucky.
Any advice for people looking to try and come out and do this same type of thing
that you're doing as a professional player?
I would say just chase your goals, chase 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 Legends.
So I'm lucky, thank you so much for chatting.
Sorry to steal you from the crowd,
but I appreciate your time.
Thanks so much, thank you, thank you for having me.
The Esports World Cup, it's basically Nerd Mecca.
And it's being held here for the first time in Paris
Unlike previous years where it was in Saudi Arabia,
near actual Mecca.
But this core pillar of eSports history
dates all the way back
to 2024.
Okay, fine, it hasn't been around for that long,
but since its inception, we've already had historic upsets,
big victories,
And, of course, moments like this.
I'm 35.
Too many people say I'm older.
I can't win anymore.
But today, I proved myself.
And outside the shock of someone over the age of 35 accomplishing anything, the emphasis
has and always will be on the winners.
But what about the losers?
Who tells their story?
To learn more about the art of losing,
I decided to consult the experts.
The French.
Wait, do you actually want me to say this?
Have you seen the French on social media?
I'm gonna get destroyed on Twitter.
You have me in a break.
But there's a lot that we can learn from losers.
So who exactly are them?
Well, according to my mother, it's everyone in this industry.
But when it comes to the tournament,
it's a little bit more nuanced than that.
There can only be one EWC champion.
And in order to win that title,
They have to accumulate points across a series of 24 different games, so series contenders
are going to want to field a lot of teams.
It's like the great Canadian hockey player Wayne Gretzky once said,
I don't even like Poo team.
I know it's supposed to be our country's thing, but this isn't the right… can you
pull up the right one?
Yeah, thank you.
You miss 100% of the shots that you don't take.
So there you have it.
So you might be asking yourself, well, why don't these clubs just field as many teams
as possible. Well, the answer's a little complicated, but the technical term is that it's f*** expensive.
Hey, anyone got a euro? I'm trying to buy an eSports team. I just need a couple million.
Anyways, here's a copyright-free version of WonderFall.
I said, well, maybe I'm gonna buy an eSports team, maybe.
And after that, I'm gonna buy a laundry mat.
Is that?
But does it actually work?
Let's say that the results are mixed.
For example, in 2024, Twisted Minds qualified 12 teams for EWC,
but seven of them didn't even register a single point.
And not one of those teams found a tournament win,
win, which if my math is correct, that leads us to uh-huh and the same number of wins my grandma
had that year. Now in 2025, VertusPro registered 18 teams and because I'm such a huge supporter of
eSports, I pledge that for every win they got, I would rescue a cat from an animal shelter.
No meow meows were saved that year. I would have been better off pledging to Verstop and SimRacing.
I mean, look at these guys, specialized sniper clubs.
One shot, one kill.
That's gotta be better, right?
Well, sort of.
In 2025, Twisted Minds doubled down on EWC, bringing 14 teams,
but eight of them didn't register a single point.
However, they were able to move up into the standings to fourth place.
With millions of people from around the world tuning into this year's eSports World Cup,
the pressure of winning is at an all-time high,
but the threat of losing?
Even higher.
So who's going to be taking home the World Cup this year?
Do any of us even still have jobs after this?
Have the KC fans already found my hotel?
Find out the answer to all these questions and more
at the Esports World Cup.
What a tournament it's been.
Every day brought another surprise.
Favorites fell, underdogs stepped up.
And now it all comes down to this.
So who's gonna take it all?
This is why we love Apex.
One decision, one fight, one perfect rotation, and everything changes.
After everything we've seen, I honestly have no idea how this story is gonna end.
Tiff, Tiff, we have to find rain!
We have to find rain!
I don't know where he is!
Where should we start?
Paris has been incredible.
But this is the moment we've all been waiting for.
Months of preparation, days of competition, one final lobby.
I can't wait to see who rises above the rest.
Rain, where have you been?
What's up girls?
It's about to start.
What?
Oh my God, we're gonna be late for the finals.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Okay.
How far have you lived here?
Hey, guys, it's Randy here for the SDC Rewind.
from yesterday's survival stage action.
I was supposed to do this with Dan Gaskin,
but unfortunately...
Hey, you needed me?
Hey, Dan, you're right on time.
Oh, well, I could make it.
I love it, man. We were just gonna do the STC rewind.
Oh. What's that?
It's where we talk about the teams
that performed really well yesterday.
Remember, you know, the games you cast?
APAC had some pretty dominant performances.
They did. We had RRQ, who kind of...
What about that business? No big wins,
but they were still able to put consistent points up on the board.
Huge wolves. You remember that second place finish?
That was a great game.
from no name, carrying the team through just missing out on first place because of a lamp
post of all things.
My God.
And then E36.
Wow, what a performance from E36.
Yeah.
Kind of turning the tide a little bit.
There was a lot of expectations because of Obley, but they were able to get through
to much point finals.
Yeah, there's a lot of potential land winners coming from APEC.
And on the other side too, number one sees high level teams from North America and NIP
and GK Gaming that we thought were going to make it.
But unfortunately for them, they got to the survival stage off of some bad performances
in a row.
it around at the very end, a huge win for NIP in that final game secured their spot.
But talking to current, it means more than that.
These guys are still in the middle of their journey.
And I know that GKE sports and NIP are going to want more out of this championship day.
Another team that kind of survived as well from a Mia, despite having some disappointments
in that arena, what's for fun, eSports?
And I feel like that's a team band that just has kind of snuck under the radar.
They've been really excellent.
They haven't done any interviews really.
And they've kind of been like, let's lock in.
We're about our business and now they're in the finals.
And they take that position away from some of the big heavy hits.
That's right.
I mean, Aurora, they go out.
We were expecting them to potentially get through.
It was a very disappointing performance for them.
Interestingly, how they bounced back, moving into split two.
And then you've got team like JDG.
JDGaming, they look so hot off the press.
They look like a team that was dominating.
They were kill leaders to roll at times,
but they just couldn't quite get over the finish line.
Maybe some of the immaturity, and I wouldn't even say that.
Maybe the inexperience of floating on the big stage.
They needed one of those moments to go right there.
So many, they just needed one more.
And of course, our reigning champions at EWC, VK Gaming.
They don't get a chance to defend their title today.
That's tough.
We will have a new winner.
All that from the survival stage yesterday here at the SDC Rewind.
But today is match point finals right on center stage.
So don't go anywhere.
The action is about to begin.
I am excited to take you through the action today.
And that is none other than Apex Legends here at EWC 2026.
But before we do that, I want to take you back on a journey from EWC in 2024.
Our team Alliance took the championship in that year with absolute grace.
And in 2025, we saw VK Gaming put Apex South back on the map.
Now here at EWC 2026, I'm going to predict that SAUL will take the championship.
Throughout the group stages, this team has had immense consistency and also incredible skill throughout all the stages.
Now, this team has been playing together for a long time.
You would know their names, seen their faces, but this is the time that they are going to take home a trophy.
What I'd love to see is my mango glitter and her predictions for I picked legends today.
Thanks, Lace. Yeah, match point finals is always an absolutely insane day. After what we've seen
so far in some of our teams, I'm expecting big performances out of the E-Sports and Team Liquid.
But as far as what that means for the CC side of things, if we're talking club championship,
we've got teams that are looking to just get themselves into the top eight. Because remember,
You need two top eight finishes in order to be CC-eligible.
But of course, the team that gets the win is going to be putting themselves in an even better position.
And I think that might be Team Liquid.
We'll have to see how it plays out. I can't wait to see what happens.
So much has happened in the first three days of ALDS at EWC 26.
All I know is that we will be crowning a new champion today on match point finals.
My name is The7WG.
I wouldn't be able to do this by myself though.
We got sniped out.
that graceful and lace.
How are we feeling today?
After a good nap, some good food.
I'm feeling pumped.
Look, I don't know if 14 games pumped for match point.
Yep.
14?
You know what?
Okay, they're going to hate me.
14 matches.
That's how pumped I am.
You want to break the record?
You know what?
Give me a number.
How many matches?
Bro, 14 Emmys.
I'm going straight into the airport.
Yeah.
He's getting on the plane after that.
Let's keep it at a solid between eight and 10.
8 and 10?
I said nine yesterday, I'll stick with that today.
Okay, all right.
Well, you know what?
I'll say seven just to make sure I keep it within brand.
But for everybody currently watching,
don't forget today is the last day
where you can actually head over to the ALGS website
and sign in 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
until actually the matches are done.
And we're gonna be giving five different viewers
this weekend a chance for 11,500 points each.
So you'll be ready for the next awesome event
coming to Apex Legends.
And don't forget for everybody currently watching as well,
make sure you treat us, make sure you share stuff
with social media about this awesome event
and use that hashtag EWC and hashtag EWC26
because we have been seeing some great, great stuff
out of all that.
I mean, we got to rate some paintings,
play rock paper scissors at some point you got a chance to talk to some players as well
but overall there's one tweet that we want to take a look at because this is one team that hasn't
won here at EWC and they definitely want to win and it's not another the imperial howl saying time
to blip win EWC is it gonna happen snipe or no because this team has been playing like
Like, yeah, they actually been on the performance.
Yeah, I mean, they have won two games here this weekend,
but they always come at the beginning of the series.
So I'm wondering if there's maybe a character pool selection
that they're having trouble with continuing on the series.
They only won one game through all the pro leagues.
So this team slays heavy.
And for us right now, it's probably the least we've ever
talked about a Hal Rosser or a Hal team,
because they're usually dominating through all the group
stages.
And it's really interesting to watch,
because this is the first time I believe
they're an underdog, even the talent in the back
We're given our predictions. I don't think anyone but Dan and he felt like he had to because someone had to pick them to win
So it's very interesting to watch this team
And you know, I think there's a lot of potential there and we'll see what happens, but who knows
I mean, I agree with you, but it's also Falcons and Hal. They might be dumb, but you can never count them out
We're talking about the multiple LAN winner never mind the fact that Guild also has been second a couple of times as well
I believe on land so time to actually three times actually and Walty has won land as well
So when you're getting to that point a team made up of champions and won almost a champion as well
They have they have what it takes already to bring it back. Well, do you got we got all the family as well?
We have seen SAUL. We actually got a chance to do a segment with them earlier on
I know everybody that especially behind us. It's gonna be rooting for SAUL and I've been promised a jersey
So we'll see if I'm actually gonna end up getting one if they win. I think that was the
What on quotes rule? I
Know you want them to win. Oh, yeah, I try to match the blue a little bit. You know, yeah
I put them as my prediction. Okay. I feel like this roster. It is their time to win
You know, I said it before they have had so many great lands
But it's always just missing it but throughout the group stages SAUL were placed third
This is an exceptional performance.
You know, we had those top three teams, you know, elite, et cetera,
having the most points and SAUL were up there from the group stages.
So their consistency in every single match is why I believe that, yeah,
SAUL might win this one.
I mean, they have been able to win games, too,
which is something that some squads have not been able to do.
One that comes to mind right away is one that we saw yesterday
during the survival stage, which was Team RRQ.
That squad was just not able to win a game, but that consistency that they showed ended up putting them in that first place, Graceful.
Yeah, I mean, I feel like we've seen several teams, and I think Falcos actually is included in that, where they have been struggling with the meta,
especially Game 1 and 2, with, you know, with Crypto and Sierra being banned out first.
A lot of these teams are having a tough time adapting, and yesterday we still got 10 games, which is absolutely crazy because we saw so many different comps that we normally don't get to see.
Now we're back a little bit more towards orthodox comps because we don't know how many games will be paid.
So people should really be looking to take the advantage of paying everything that has been banned at the moment,
which yesterday I think Alter was severely underpaid, which the team that did well actually picked her.
And then when we started getting into the later matches, we started seeing some other legends as well.
But here you have it, one last tweet for everybody out there using that hashtag EWC and hashtag EWC26.
Yes. Talk to me about this one.
This is the whole thing is where normally, this was back in the day when you would also, even before Contest as well, but now Alliance is dropping old Ferrari.
Now we don't really have Trivant.
Or, but with the old way that they used to do it, whoever lands Norpad, they are absolutely sending it because that loot right there is just not really enough.
enough. For insta-routed, if the zone is perhaps a wall, you can make it happen. But generally speaking,
you just want to make sure that you're getting the POIs essentially for free so that you can just
fight properly that whole game. Yeah, I mean honestly when it comes down to this, we'll see what happens
in these first two games because Alliance has historically, anytime anyone has taken the North
Pad, they've rushed them right away. And AG is one of the teams that a lot of teams were scared to
fight at the beginning of the game. So we'll see what happens in these first, you know, one, two games
and we'll move from there. But AG is not a team that I would want to push and without the Trident
and actually being a thing, it kind of changes rotations
and time.
You don't have the ability to have the elongated fight
and then get in and get around the map as fast.
It might be one of those where you hope you kind of
predict the zone, or maybe they start going the wall route
instead.
We'll see.
That also depends what the zone is going to be doing,
because it's been going right quite a lot, especially
in the past four takes.
We'll see if that's going to happen again today.
Now, talking about how the lobby is going to be playing,
we have seen the lobby start off slow,
and then we kind of switched it up to the lobby playing
super aggressive, right?
But I want to know, Snide, you as an actual player,
when you used to be in this kind of stage,
what do you expect when going to a match point finals?
The lobby to be super aggressive
until somebody got to the match point?
Yeah, I mean, this is where you see
some of the best teams shine.
A lot of these teams actually, you know,
this is like, we'll go back to Falcons.
They always do better in better lobbies.
So this is where I'm expecting them to step up.
Yeah.
And I mean, honestly, we'll just,
we're gonna have to just see what happens
with these rosters right here.
I think you want to start strong,
but you're not gonna do what we saw
in the survival round,
where teams are just coming out,
trying to challenge everything. A lot of teams play more passive right away to start because they
want to get to the end zone. They want to get the Q-mode of points because you need to get to that
50 to get to the match point. So it really does. You don't need to drop the 20-30 point games. Yeah,
it's amazing to do that at the beginning, but consistency is key in these. And then once you
get to that 50 point threshold is when you can start figuring out if you want to go for as many
kills you want or if you're trying to get that one. Yeah, I just want to touch on like the match
point format as well. Like you get, I'm going to say one chance. You hit the 50 match point threshold
and you get the one chance to be able to do it if you leave that chance in the in the floor you probably won't get it again.
Well, Lace, I know you got a chance to talk to a player earlier.
Yeah.
I don't remember which player was which player was it.
I know some Chantanols.
I chatted to a few, but that might be fun FPS.
All right. Well, you know what?
Let's see what they ended up saying and how they were able to prepare for this final day.
I've got fun FPS here from the center, no, I've just grabbed him off the street now,
fun.
You guys just won champs, it was an incredible feeling.
Do you feel like the competition or EWC is any different or more difficult?
I would say that it's a little bit more brutal, like coming out of the group stages, like
definitely getting top 14 is like very brutal and a lot of just like a lot of emotions going
from every team.
I think I think this will be a lot of fun. Honestly, you know, we've kind of been saying like the format's a little bit different
Right, you don't have a chance to get out of that sort of survival where I would sorry the you know the bottom brackets
It was just survival so it's cutthroat, but you guys are of course in the finals now
Who do you think your competition is going to be today?
Is there any teams that you're like, oh, okay, this might be a little bit more tough um?
No one really honestly like we we pretty much rotate so fast that we don't really interact with a lot of teams
So pretty much is gonna be playing against the zone most of the time honestly even elite who were with their group stages
A little police definitely gonna be a challenger. Yeah, but I feel like everyone's gonna be
If not more difficult or on the same playing field as everyone else in the lobby as well
Yeah, well, you know, everyone wants to win. Okay. What's the game plan today?
Is it to sort of follow suit or kind of, you know, just wrangling monsoon the whole time?
What's the plan for the team? Landlute rotate the classic
I mean, you can see him bump into
somebody who's like my bad,
bro. But after that interview,
did you get any chance to maybe
get some extra stuff outside of
the interview? Extra good. I just
got the vibes of the fist punch
from monsoon. Like this team is
just energetic and you know they
bring that into the game.
I mean, you know, it's just
like, you know, it's just
like, you know, it's just
like, you know, it's just like
and you know they bring that into each and every one of their games. In our group stages,
Sentinels were consistently top 10 within their first game. Unfortunately it sort of dropped
off in the next group stages there and then they pwned it in again today because they dropped like
that bangin 23 kill game which basically brought them up but if they're champions, they've been
champions before you know I was chatting to fun and I said oh is there anyone you're a little bit
Scared of is a cat that was like a little baby, but you know, I feel like they've got that confidence and you know
That energy that's just going to carry them through matches. It's it's so exciting to set those. I mean elite has been playing
Yeah, damn. Oh, it's actually wow
You know what?
Let's actually go into our PS5 story of the day because it is elite eSports the first place team out of group stages in
Graceville this one when you were talking about consistency point
Were they listening to you because they gave us that in some I mean they've been the most consistent team throughout this whole
Tournament and this is why I said as well
Undisputedly the best team going into this final lobby as well from what we've seen so far and the final say things can always flip
But I am expecting very big things from them and that's which why I said eight to ten games
I believe that these guys could definitely close this out
Well, we got a chance to talk about earlier about some of the squads
I mean, VK game is not going to be here, so we will be crowning a new champion, but there is a chance
that there could be a team out there that becomes a two-time champion at EWC and it would be Alliance.
Yeah, look, in 24, they won, they hit that match point format. We thought it was going to be the
Falcons at that point, but they, like I said, they actually choked on their opportunity to win the
game. So this is why I was saying it's super important you hit match point format. Anytime you
and you see that chance to win victory, its rotation,
and make sure that you're there in place
to be able to win it.
And that's exactly what Alliance did back then.
Look, I'll get these guys just sort of touch
a little bit more on, I guess, maybe why it's not
so consistent for them.
But watching these first couple of matches,
it was so incredibly tough for them.
Usually you hear the name Alliance
and you think powerhouses,
but it was looking really grim
until the final two matches in their group stages.
And you know, we got a chance to chat to Akku where he said it himself that, you know, he's not a replacement for effect
And he never will be but he's a new dynasty. So, you know, hopefully we get to see that today
Yeah, I mean we saw how it gets right from a lion social media
They put them out there just making sure they did the extra homework and you boy would he was he able to do it?
Especially for the last day the performance that they had nobody
I think expected them to be able to make it with how they started off in the first two days to the finals
They're here right now. One team that they showcase that they could be in the match
point finals from the get go was none other than team liquid and we had zero. I mean talking
about choking earlier. He's not looking to choke anytime soon. Yeah, no, this liquid roster is
finally hitting their stride at the exact time they need to. You know, I think there were a lot
of questions about zero and as I yelling when that Falcons roster first first kind of blew up a
little bit and then you missed the land and now they're here hitting their stride at the right
moment. I love the dynamic of this roster. Sykes has taken a role of a support player,
Which he really hasn't had to do and his ability to be a hybrid
You know such only picked up video games in general like three years ago. This guy is unbelievable
What yeah, he didn't play any video games before a factor
Oh, so unbelievable storyline panic comes out there
I think he brings a whole new element to this roster you can trust him to slay zeroes really enabled him to be that main slayer that
He has where he doesn't have to you know carry his roster
He has so much talent around him
And I think he's kind of pulled him back from making his own plays and making more a lot more team plays to elevate the rest
of his roster. And he said, you know, he believes that he has the confidence to be one of the
best players in the game. You don't hear him talk that highly about players unless he really
means it. And so for us to watch this roster, who's been so dominant, so consistent, they
have three wins, they've dropped absolute massive games. It's going to be really fun
to see how they do. And I think this is the moment where, you know, he can pull that EWC
win out and really cement himself as, you know, we can bring that conversation back
between him and Hal again, you know, and that could be another rivalry. We talked about,
You know, Liquid, Falcons, and Brink brought that up.
That's been one of our rivalries or matches
that we've been watching throughout this event.
And I'm really excited to see that.
And you never know, you never know.
Yeah, new dynasty.
I mean, the absolute biggest thing
that people haven't even thought of,
maybe if they didn't rewatch the VODs for sure,
is all three of them have clutched games.
That's like the biggest thing
that you don't normally don't see out of a whole roster.
If we're talking about panics,
rap clutch and winning that game,
actually from the three to three,
coming out with one HP on the cannon and barometer,
and then surviving and winning the game.
Not everybody can do that, but the biggest one I would like to say is Sykes there for that moment, actually on the building in Lava Fisher, I believe it was.
He was Watson on the roof, holding off the second team in the last 3v3, holding off 1v2, cracking them, doing a billion damage, and imagine close out of the fight.
The fact that every single roll is so strong, able to take over any fight is just scary.
The rest of the lobby should really be aware that it's not just about the entry or anything, the whole team is on their guns.
They definitely are. It looks like all engines are Gulf for that squad, especially when we've got a chance to talk with Zero yesterday.
If you missed that, I'll make sure you go back and watch it.
But I want to actually switch the conversation to just Claire's performances because I feel like when we talk about Wolves,
that's what ended up happening yesterday, with no name just stepping up in a big way, kind of giving them that confidence boost.
So I'm going to throw it to you, Lace.
Who do you think? Which Claire do you think is going to end up stepping up? Is it going to be no name again?
It's got to be like it. He's just a powerhouse and we saw it in one of the clips right they were there
He was kind of like let go on the leash and to have the Kramer at hands
And he was the last left alive on team walls when I think it was on the world's edge map
And he had the ability just to hold it to his team
You know we're talking about the team liquid where they've got those solo players that can in fact just lock it down when the squad is
Not present and that's exactly what no name can do
But you know it does take this team a little while to get that ball rolling
once they do it ain't stopping. Well hopefully that ball is gonna start getting rolling and rolling
quickly because as you can tell the countdown has started. Max point finals is finally here so let's
get started!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4 intense days of competition, we are the 60 best players in the world, the 20 best teams, tonight, one will be crowned champion.
Every tournament begins with Belief, the belief that you and your team will be left standing in a fountain of confetti,
clutching onto the trophy that you have so desperately coveted for years.
But Belief will only get you to the starting line.
Today, everything starts again.
All teams are at zero points with one goal in mind.
To succeed in reaching the 53rd and being the finalist.
Once this is approached, one last goal.
To make a top 1, to win, to win, to win and win the WC Paris.
Fane, Karl and Kurev, their Mienzheim Pijamas, he's tough!
Blitzer, Farn and Monsud, they are Sentinels!
See that? Just now and hopefully now, under 436!
Albrellély, Skittle Cakes and Sacred! They are Team Nemesis!
Goal!
Zack, Lauder and Carter, they are Team Reject!
Yuris, Arufa and Axis, they are Reject!
You everybody, it's Suvi in peace, now, and living!
Mike, Satuki, and Yuka, F, they are Zeta Division!
Aguares, Nizul, Iannia, A-G-A-L!
Sharky, Legacy, and Jesko! They are S-H-U-L eSports!
No name, Wengs and Krasikong, WALL GESPORTS!
Pricey, easy flash and straight-thin flame! They are RRQ!
0, Sikes and Panic, the Team Liquid!
Light, Kinder and Henschmann, they are elite esports!
We are the best players in the world, here in Paris. Who will mark history? Who will go back with the 2 million dollars? Who will bring the WC?
So it is time to put up or shut up. It is time for the match point finals!
Mr. Moon!
Monster preparation, thousands of hours played and every sacrifice made to get to this point.
The goal is always to win.
That's what we're here for, right?
The game so far has been incredibly rough.
It's hard.
I guess we can just call it a warm-up.
Hopefully the warm-up is done.
We are super confident in our team.
Few less people should not do carry lists
and put us on lower tiers because we are strong what we can do.
The difference between having a good game from a great game
is just those small seconds.
Obviously for the rivalry between us and Liquid, so it's always nice to beat them, but this
little ego boost pretty much is nothing to keep it in that.
There's definitely like big names not doing as great as we expected.
I just want to apologize to everyone that watched us at the group stage performance was not
great.
I do definitely promise that we're going to be showing up on finals way better.
I haven't missed a finals in Poland, which is almost six years ago, so I'm not too worried.
We will do our best to be the best team in the world.
After four days of competition, we find ourselves finally on the final day of the ALGS,
split-mog playoffs at the Esports World Cup 2026.
And if you're here in the arena, if you're at home watching,
you're about to be a part of one of the greatest spectacles in all of Esports.
It's match point finals.
Everyone's going to be talking about it, and the big question is,
how many matches will we go today?
Could it be seven, eight?
Could we go all the way to 13 or 14?
Like we saw last year, the Esports World Cup 2025,
it always provides entertainment here.
And we are globally represented
in these match-core finals as well.
Nine from America, four from Amir,
four from Apex Lords, and three from Apex Sun.
Every region is represented.
Absolutely love the fact that we have so much representation,
showing that the Apex Legends Global Series truly is global.
Now, 40 teams, of course, descended here on Paris,
And we are left with 20.
We have had heartbreak, we have had huge moments,
we have had clutches, and of course,
we have had that disappointment yesterday
of having to send some teams home.
But today is all about glory.
It's all about becoming a champion.
And when you look across this lobby,
you look across the teams that are here,
there are so many stories that are desperate
for a conclusion.
We have the reigning world champions
of Sentinels on the stage.
You have the history of the club champions
in Team Falcons on the stage.
We have the up-and-comers, Team Liquid, who look like they could be champions on the stage.
All of these stories converging together to create what is going to be an incredible matchpoint finals.
But it could be a long old road to victory here.
It is not as simple as doing it in just a few games.
We could go the distance.
Now, just to remind everyone, or if you don't know at all how this is going to work,
a little bit of a change of format for our finals.
Matchpoint finals has its own special flavor.
You've got to hit 50 points, get that on the board, and then you will become match point eligible.
After you win a game, have you become match point eligible?
You will become champion.
And as I said earlier, we went all the way to 13 games last year.
Are we going to find these similar distance, or could we even go further?
I'm kind of having my fingers crossed that we will, because the more apex we see, the better.
Now, there are so many fans in the audience here.
Fans of every single team, that's what's amazing.
Every team on the walkout had someone cheering for them.
It's an amazing, amazing place to be.
And if you are here, get behind the boys
because these teams have been fighting it out for four days
to make it to this stage to have a chance at lifting that trophy
when we are all set and done at the end of the end of today.
Honestly, we've got goosebumps here in the classroom,
everyone in the green room, everyone backstage.
I'm sure everybody who sat in the seats watching right now
is feeling the same because we're heading over to Storm Point
to kick this thing off.
Paris, match point finals is live!
As we check in with the winners from the group stage,
the number one seed here, Elite Esports,
can they carry on their same trajectory
from where they started and continue things into the finals here?
Because Elite, we've seen this before on set,
and Amir team dominating throughout group stages,
but then they fall flat when they get to the finals in the big moments.
It's a story as old as time,
you're one team to upset that apple cut the team who's won the eSports World Cup
before take yourself back a couple of years alliance in our match finals have
got it done at the eSports World Cup what an opportunity that would be to
call yourself a two-time champion two times champion that no one else has yet
to be able to call themselves at the eSports World Cup and now we've had
some interesting zones where it does come to the ALGS so far this tournament
and starting here on Storm Point, are we going to see some similar ones?
That's going to be the real question.
It looks like we're going to be heading up north
when it comes to where we're going to be finishing with this final circle.
And the wall has been one of the best POIs that we have seen so far
in terms of statistics and unlimited dropping up there.
Interesting. I was keeping my eyes on Alliance and AG Global.
We saw that tweet before the action got underway today
saying that Alliance were going to be aggressive on AG Global,
but probably not going to have the opportunity here
because the pro to this zone is going to be the most important.
There is that zone, Wolves eSports are moving up to the top of the zipline building.
And the fact that all of the wall isn't quite in there, this might be an interesting one.
Wolves try and move into wall and limit the team dropping over there.
They're head are in console and they're playing right at the back building.
We may still see a fight between AG Global and Alliance as they are flying in.
Oh, here's the first knock.
And it looks like it's going to be a little bit of a trade.
Lucky is down, but unlucky is brought back to his feet
Can the same be said for Yanya though two players from AG Global you saw them escaping
Maybe we are going to see
This scuffle continue every single time that we hit the northern side of Stormpoint
Well, AG Global will back away from Alliance in the end
After that no, it's not worth taking the fight and Alliance win game one already in terms of engagement
They also get priority to zone they can hold them out
and what a day it could be for Alliance.
As for AG Global now, they've already had their first test and will...
They've ruled the day that they picked North Bad. That's going to be the question from my end.
I was wondering, you know, why did Alliance take that fight? Why did they pick it?
But it makes sense. All of their rotations, all of their macro is hugely playing from this POI.
It's AG Global who perhaps have stepped into enemy territory.
Well, to get the feeling that that story is not going to end in this game.
We've just seen the reds coming in.
And AG Global will be back to full strength
with the gunner rejoining the troops.
RRQ playing the bottom of the Zip Line building.
They're going to have a little bit of a rotate, a little bit late to run,
but with so many teams ahead of them, I don't mind them playing this area
and looking to hold a few teams out.
Another team that's close to them is going to be 4-5 each fourths.
They've got some barrels down, expecting a push to come in.
And both these teams qualifying through the survival stages
survival stage as well. Two teams who were very close to just making it through
match point finals naturally, but they had to fight tooth and nail yesterday,
and boy did they both look good. Trust me, they are going to make this a
difficult lobby for those who did progress previously, and they have an
extra experience under their belts from those extra 10 matches that we had
yesterday. Well, on limit are the ones who are blessed by zone first. Dropping
over at wall, come straight to them, they have the pick of where they wanted to
play. Crypto seer. And alter is going to be the composition that they've chosen for this
game. Number one, usually one which kind of works into unlimited game plan, which is to
be a little bit more aggressive to take a few more team fights. But having prior in
this zone, they're not going to have the best defensive legends outside of the crypto EMP
to stop those pushes coming in. Now Nemesis for me, quiet underdogs in this tournament.
They've been going about their business, but you look at the composition, you look at how
this team has built the experience and the history of Albralele against the sheer gunpower of Skittle Cakes and sacred
Definitely potential winners for me if they find form, but it is an if
So AG Global saw them lose the onion a little bit earlier, but they've got that reset now
But having a reset early on usually just slows down the rotate we DC team nemesis
who was the team for the poking from the green and white buildings outside of North Pad.
Looks like the call is to try maybe get up to purple here a couple of EVO harvesters
being pings. We take our attention now over to Cascade Falls. UK Esports and S8UL,
a little bit too close for comfort.
Before GK and Ferd dropped in particular, it's been a history of always the bridesmaid,
never the bride a lot of second places can this be the team that finds him a
first place finally at land even though it's a long old road if we check back
in with what's happening up towards wall and this is a lion trying to make a
push this is a really big fight someone's trying to force this
that gets down alliance are out a combination of walls and a third
party from game gladiators means that alliance will be the first team to fall
the last two games in a row.
They're going to have to
get the ball in match one of
all match point finals. And
when you talk about teams
that are built for winning
gaming gladiators, they have a
little bit of everything as
well. Could they be Amir's
hopes for taking another trophy
here on LGS land.
For walls. What a day it was
for them yesterday. You remember
the incredible second place
finish we saw with the
Krabber and the carry from no
name. Only losing in the end to
the final was in at the moment.
They are taking a little bit of a peek over towards GG,
but I think both of these teams now, after eliminating the alliance,
they can be comfortable with sitting in their buildings.
Throughout the years, they've lost many a fight to a lamppost,
they will say, but I'm not paying attention.
So I'm with you, no name, but that was, I tweeted about it yesterday.
It would have been one of this, what felt like the biggest single-handed carry
from a player to get Wolves into that position and pop up for a win,
but we would have seen in the history of the Apex Legends Global Series,
that's a good zone read from
a little bit on them. It's a
play that backside of it. Have
their backs clear and let the
lobby flood in front of one team.
I'd like to mention here is team
vision on that northeastern
side. Not only are they going to
be in a good position to
transition at the end of this
game, but they can hold out the
likes of 36 and Zeddy. You can
pick up KP and you can move into
one of the priority positions
depending on where that zone
moves. If it does continue to
shift a little bit further than
the last two games, you can
that zone moves if it does continue to shift a little bit further north we often get very hard
fought fights up towards there. As our number one scene coming into this elite esports now I'm just
going to have a little look as we check back in with the replay of how Alliance went down.
You can see he's just getting pinched essentially by two teams you wanted to force that building.
Speaking of forcing Yarnia says go. Henshman is down light and kind of after retreat here.
here. Yeah, they're not gonna
escape easily here. Oh, your
goes down on yet. War is with
distance. We'll finish that
off and now lights. He's being
chased here by the actual.
You can get yourself a Kp and
that's going to be the end of
the leading sports. The number
one seed coming into today,
this sacred six in the opportunity to get some KB.
Expect to see a lot of these teams fighting when we're on
Stormpoint because of the congestion of just big,
aggressive, fight heavy teams on this northwest side.
Nemesis are trying to hunt down AG,
but now AG happy to try and retreat.
Nemesis just one step too late here,
and the Axle has very much helped out AG.
When you talk about legend changes,
you talk about compositions running the right kind of legend.
Well, Axle is everything that AG want.
So Nemesis will retreat for now, the good news is that Sacred on the Ultras has managed
to swap out that rampage for a hemlock, not a bad trade, always a good thing, but now
they've got a little bit more.
Attention to pay for AG, because AG are back, because they don't really have much of a choice
on where they're going to rotate.
However, early with the fuse off, EMP is going to be destroyed as well, and now firing these
knuckle clusters forward, even though they've got the high ground here, Nemesis, they don't
have the armor advantage.
So this is a pretty equal looking fight.
This is where you need an individual to hit a big shot.
The zone's gonna be a problem here.
And they're gonna try and wrap around again.
I mean, they went in this way before,
it didn't even rework for them.
This is such a long route, by the way.
They need a lot of meds,
and I'm looking at it at six syringes and medkit.
Elsewhere, it's a division.
They've lost a couple of players here
by the looks of it, E-36.
I'm pushing up onto the, right at the top of command center.
Oh, please down.
It's a tricky underneath, just play around and knock down.
Oh, see that? Oh!
Look at the armor swap, but it's not a great one.
Oh, in the first force 30, so this will go down.
And it's going to be Zeta Division who will win their first fight.
You can see a scan coming in there from Height Zeddy.
Esports are very, very close, but over to Team Liquid now.
The other side of Command Center.
Down on the low ground at the entrance,
they're trying to force their way in towards GKE Sports,
and there's a mythic bin spawning pretty close as well.
Zeta had no right winning that fight, by the way, but you mentioned it. Zeddy Esports perhaps helping them out a little bit.
There's GK now holding out Team Liquid. This isn't going to be a comfortable rotation for them.
Trouble is if Team Liquid opt to go the other way, they're just going to go into Falcons. And actually, Falcons are hearing all this commotion.
They also see the Mythic Bin, and Falcons are starting to approach. So we're going to have three teams all around this Mythic Bin now.
I think they've been now.
GK get EMPed.
Well, should I say that?
Excuse me.
Is there EMPed trying to slow down the push
coming in from behind?
Well, here that zone is going, though.
We'll pay attention to that in a few seconds time,
because that is going to upset the lobby.
Wow.
To say the least, that is where we are going.
I mentioned how it didn't feel quite right for a hard pull
into wall.
Well, it had bounced back to the hillhouse,
the top of the zipline.
Where that building is, and who is holding pretty
at the top of it. It's ninjas in
pajamas. Sentinels also in the
area as well. We know what an
incredible, so heavy team
sentinels can be the reigning
world champions. Team liquid
backed away initially from GK,
but perhaps they're going to re
engage now. They've not seen a
third team Falcons. They didn't
see any option to kill feeds and
they back away as those CQs now
starts to give a little bit of
information. And of course to
If they get hit by that CQ, then Caustic becomes essentially useless.
Can I get those barrels out? Can I use that Caustic ult?
We see Sentinels eliminated.
The world champions were fought early in match number one, and they had a great position as well.
It's Ninjas in pyjamas who took care of their nearest threat, and with Team Liquid now walling through,
and a Skynade coming in from Getzgo, this could be the end of TL's game.
Last player has to try and get away. It's going to be Panic is the last one alive,
Panic is a knock, but it's not gonna matter. Liquid go down to S8UL.
That's what could happen sometimes when you blindly go in.
S8UL, now they're gonna be under pressure.
And the team that's pushing them at the moment, it's Team Falcons.
Walking their way up outside of Command Center from the Spider Cave,
S8UL looking to see if they can drag, just go back as well and manage to do so.
I'm hitherto.
So they will be healthy as Falcons now, gonna start to hold out.
DK, great shots coming in from Hal.
Oh, this is going to get ugly, because Zated Division also here a command centre.
It's going to be difficult to try and escape this.
Fully healthy, once you start to see as here is Zated Division.
They've already held a 1 vs 2.
And now Yuka with the Longbow will eliminate SAUL down to 14 teams.
And they're healthy, they have to keep moving forward though. 23 seconds on the zone.
But Yuka off of a body and swapped out a Longbow for a Krabber.
Itches away, but itches makes all the difference.
Uh-oh, Falcons.
They're getting slid on, they're getting picked on.
But now, it's up to Guild!
He can't win it! Falcons are eliminated!
And Zeta Division continued this reign of terror.
Adi Goybo eliminated as well in the kill feed. Nemesis now approaching onto Zeta Division here.
here but Zeta seemed to be an unstoppable force as GK Esports will get taken out of the lobby.
Now this is the center of the zone, this is a huge fight to win, NIP have lost one.
Paul is down, a lot of damage of course done by playing with that car but not enough to get the
knock and even up the numbers. However the portal from Kuren, huge, vital to get Cole back into a
position where he can get red, but here comes the net. Here comes the fun, and Kurev has to jump
into the void. And Thane's not particularly healthy as well, but of course can go into that drone.
Grab that deathbox potentially as well. There is still hope here for NIP. Overflow on Kurev as well,
but for fun have bullied them out of the building. Nemesis now taking a lot of damage,
you can see that up on the high ground. Surprise, surprise, you've taken them out.
It's going to be Zed and Vision again. Team Nemesis will be eliminated. Half the lobby is gone.
The cockroaches of the lobby at the moment are Zeta Division.
No one seems to be able to take them down.
Surely this is going to be their final fight.
But now, even rejects are under fire as they start to approach.
So Fuki has gone down.
And finally, after a valiant effort, Zeta Division will fall.
But the long side from KP is now RRQ approaching Reject.
As the glass pops back through the portal, just trying to look to see if they can pick up some KP.
They will have to move in a little bit.
And I think they're going to get healthy before walking up to where that portal was.
The damage was enough for them to try and take this spot away from
Reject, you're still down and actually barely with any HP himself
To the breach charges coming in
An RRQ are going to give an OXL open and pricey on the right to try and hit another portal
Four of these teams have no end near zone
And they're going to quickly find out how difficult it is to try and approach uphill
Sadly for Reject as a two there's too many eyes on at the moment
I don't know how I'll limit down from that southern. Excuse me, the northernmost tip of the wall have to force their way forward. Remember, they dropped over here. They thought the zone call was going to be a hard wall zone, but the pull away has really scuppered their game.
way forward remember they dropped over here they thought the zone call was
going to be a hardball zone but the pull away has really scuppered their game
and the caustic barrels in the end doing up is unlimited and reject will be
wiped away from this server as team vision and mentioned this position a
little bit earlier from the northeast they bided their time they didn't
over commit and now they've been up to slowly but surely work their way
further south and now they actually hold out the likes of wolves and GG one of
The best conversion rates that you could possibly ask for when you look at top 5s to win is team vision.
That'll be very important if they hit match point today.
But they've got to get there first.
A lot of work to be done.
Gaming gladiators will really be eliminated as Wolves find themselves down to 2.
And RRQ are making the call now to try and wrap this damage that's been done to numerous teams.
Look for these KP.
And they've worked their way towards zone. No name.
He's down, pricing with great shots.
Easy flash goes down, moments of 1v1, strafing flame, versus Crazy Kong inside the building behind the knockdowns.
Swing comes in, Crazy Kong, he gets taken down, strafing flame, with the biggest shot to the final so far.
And that takes us down to our last five teams, which is significant, because statistically that's where the last final circle will be around.
Five sports competing for a win, as Zeddy, they've lost Kelly at the moment, but perhaps they'll have a chance to get him back up as they're trying to compete for the same building.
An NIP have been holding for what feels like an NIP have just got a res!
You just saw it there!
Somehow an interesting pyjamas have got a res and will have called back into this game.
Meanwhile inside that building, 4-Fort and Zeddy having a little engagement.
Necrotres comes in but look at the damage that they're taking, they are under so much pressure.
The heat from those flames is singeing away at Zeddy but they somehow managed to reset it.
And you mentioned those conversion rates. NIP with a 33% conversion rate from top 5 to a win.
For Vision, it was 50% in Pro League. It's not been as good here in this tournament, but maybe they can find that force.
Zax says to Lota and Carter, go get us some kills, go take out the threats that surround us.
RRQ have been eliminated as Ninja's and pyjamas are safe in zone.
Oh, those Nades, they hurt though, they burn.
And it's really down to whether you can actually heal up here.
Kurov gets out.
Safe was the wrong word for me.
They certainly weren't amazed.
It's rained down from numerous teams.
They've managed to reset once against the odds.
Ninjas and Pajamas in this game, can they do it again?
Top four, Team Vision.
Ninjas and Pajamas, Zeddy Esports and four funny Esports,
your final four teams.
And I like that you touch upon final circles for vision and it's down to Zach Maze and their IDL.
They found the last remaining player. Kuro can go into the void once more but it feels like it's just delaying the inevitable.
Maybe you can find a little hidey-holder play here.
Because perhaps Zeddy and Forth find a focusing elsewhere.
He might be able to get a placement point if he's careful here. He also might be able to get a deathbox risk.
Had overflow which means you'll get healthy nice and quick.
as team vision hold the most space it's for fun and Zeddy that are stacked up on top of each other
maybe not Sneezy's in pyjamas will be eliminated Kareev cannot get the extra placement
I was like a silly plan after a plan the dirt is gone but it was the NIP who finally get taken away from their building
other cleaning products are available as team vision now will hold the main area here as for fun
and Zeddy are both going to be in this same building advantage vision 100%
With the exhibit going down, certainly it's because that means more fun and Zeddy are engaging!
What a life on Zeddy!
It's going to be Jelly, it's a 1v1 in the building, genetic versus Jelly!
Jelly wins it, but team vision!
Convert once again!
And as we were talking about, the Rapsplit won pro league, they had a 50% conversion rate from top 5s
And even though it hasn't been up there here, that split one playoff to EWT 2026, now those percentages start to go up, which is the perfect time to increase them in match point finals.
Zack Mesa, without a shadow of an out, one of the best IGLs in the world, can he get a LAN trophy for Team Vision?
Well, Zack with some choice words, there's some confident words, he says it's over in six.
And with that kind of start, why wouldn't you have that kind of confidence?
Fantastic end game management again from Team Vision.
The job was made easy for them with the fight taking place inside of that building, but
the zone pull I think could a lot of people off guard.
Something didn't seem right at the start when I saw that second zone.
And the fact that it bounces back to that zipline building, a lot of those teams who
have pro inside of will really struggle to leave.
I call the position from vision right at the start when they held the northeast and the reason they played that I like to think is because they could split the difference. They could transition to either zone if it pulled north or south.
And the big fight was winning it against Ninja Pajamas. Those nades were huge and they were able to sniff them out, take them down, and then look how simple it was from here. They saw the fighting take place.
Easy as that. Did they get buffed from the patch notes?
I didn't read that in the patch notes, but it might have been at the bottom because it certainly is coming true here
We'll have to see if they can continue though. We know that
Good start is one thing
But we usually go a long long way when it comes to match point getting that win early on boy
Did you do something for the confidence? They will be feeling on top of the world right now?
I will say it's not exactly a mammoth victory in terms of points
It was quite shared up quite even between lobby leaders vision did put up
the end of the game. 19 points
in the end of the go through
the rest a little bit later.
So Nessie. Nessie again, just
dangerously tantalizingly close
towards the crush of that as
those are the keys that will be
crushed alongside the hopes and
dreams of all these players on
stage today. Only one will
remain. With match one done and
team vision taking home the
champion banner in that first
game. Match two is just around
Play is in our DNA, whenever we let it out, it becomes our super power.
Now imagine an entire city being built to supercharge it.
Hedia City powered by play.
Look, I don't know if you've heard this pricey,
but I was on broadcast yesterday and I looked deep in the camera
and I said, I don't know if they're going to make it into the finals.
And I have been saying it's a reverse cast occurs.
OK, because you guys did so well yesterday for APAC South.
Now, going into today's competition, do you feel like yesterday's performance
is going to bleed into today and that you can maintain what you guys have already done?
We've been going into like our last two group stages were bad. So yesterday and after every
game, it was like a mental reset every game. So right now we're like sit on that like even level.
We're not going into like overconfident, underconfident. So we're just going to play a game
and see how it goes. Yeah, I mean, I've been watching you guys from the side of the stage
where you're kind of like cheering even though you know you don't get the the win in that match but
you know that you know you're getting those sorts of points how has it been like sort of uh having
easy flash come back in because you know strafing and easy flash would have been such a dynamic duo
how do you feel that you sort of like slide into that dynamic uh pretty easily everyone does their
part um but everyone's all happy and cheery everyone does their part super well so that's what
I'm going for today again. Well, pricey. I will never doubt you again. I'm so sorry party yelled at me the other day
But guys best of luck to you today do it for a fat south. We'll do thank you very much
Welcome back once again everybody to the aog a spit one playoffs at eSports World Cup
2026 match one is in the history books and it's team vision you take the win
We also hear from our accused pricey big pricey guy
I have to say, personally, I think he's one of the most experienced and celebrated players in APAC South,
and we love to hear from him, and I love his music choice as well, Dan.
He's got some good music choices, I would say.
Sure, he's a fan of the cosplay that we have in the audience as well,
some excellent representations of skins,
as we look back at some of the highlights, and match one is done,
and how many more are we going to have here in match point finals?
If you want to correct myself from earlier, I said last year we had 13 games.
He's actually an Eagle, he's both woke up 2024, we had 13 games.
It was nine last year, so apologies for that one.
But it was a brilliant first match, because like I said,
the points were shared quite evenly across the top four teams.
There was no one who really took the ball.
It's apart from the obvious win from Vision
and just a little bit of a lead from the extra points
they were able to get for first place.
I forgive you.
Thank you.
So it was only an apology to you that this would be clear.
I did not correct you.
See Vision with a very, very simple end game there.
But I think the most impressive thing there for me
was how they cleaned out RRQ to clear that side of zone.
Very important, you saw the portal down using the Nexus,
excuse me, using the Q from Alter to get down
to that low ground and deal with the damage onto RRQ,
knowing that they had the ability to portal up onto them
should they be forced to later on with that zone closed.
So just being aware of situations
nearest threats to you is what Zaki's so good at.
Now, Crypto, of course, a huge contributing factor to that.
Being able to be on Crypto,
You'd have to use that drone and see what teams are surrounding you and see what teams are also fighting.
But now we move into match number two.
This is where the IGL stakes, I think, start to get lifted a little bit here.
The value of the good IGL when crypto is gone really does get on display.
And now differently to yesterday's competition and of course the group stages as well.
In match point finals, we snake draft the maps.
We will not see three in a row and they're moving into the next one.
Instead, we start on Stormpoint.
We now move into world's edge and we transition all the way through to e-district and then we go back again
So we will have e-district back to back at four and five and then later on
We will not see storm point once more until match eight
So 14 vision for example if storm point is there Matt if that's where they're gonna find wins
Perhaps when we get to match eight they would be match point eligible and might have a chance to win
Well just to give you an idea of the standings and the points that actually came away from match number one team vision with 19 points
The seven Kp that they got alongside the 12th the first place puts them
No surprise top of the piles any e-sports with 14 alongside RRQ Z division actually enough in fourth place
We saw a few team fights that they won 11 Kp took them to 13 for fun with 10 and then ninjas in pyjamas with 8
We will update you on the standards as we go through these games of course, but
It's all team vision in the game vision a five point lead and five points extra
you will take them but they're still quite a way off being match point eligible. Remember sometimes
we've had game ones where people put 27 points on the board and we're like oh wait they're over
halfway there at this point. Well, Zack Mesa thinks in six so we'll check back in with that once we
get into match six and see where they reside and whether they're even match point eligible because
how many times in LGS history do we see a team win and then in the next one die first? Sorry very
often. We'll make you be in that in our team vision here. We'll see what happens if they can get into
the top five however I'm expected to become champions again because they have a little bit of a
knack of doing so. I will give a huge amount of credit though to Ninjas in pyjamas such a stressful
day for them yesterday to stay alive in the tournament they had to make top six and they did
it. Now coming into the first game of today a good performance a solid performance and after
you've been through so many trials and tribulations over the first four days of action I think it
will just settle them down a little bit in this lobby. I do like that you bring up ninjas and pyjamas
going into World's Edge as well. That's where they've had the majority of their points. In fact,
the most points we've seen in this tournament has come from Ninjas and Pajamas. They have had
more games than others to put it in a little bit of an equation for you. Liquid have only got four
points less than NIP on World's Edge. And of course, they played three less times on that map.
The World's Edge looking good for Liquid. Let's see if they can convert
based upon the stats that you just gave to me and the beautiful people who are watching around the
the world's edge now. A little
bit of a change of scenery. But
the action will be just as fast
pace match number two is live.
The match point finals continues
and just in terms of P. O. I
draft the bigger winners for me
team Falcons at Lava Fisher.
That's been the best performing
P. O. I. So far this tournament
36 over towards overlook and
vision at launch site. The third
best performing P. O. I. So
So our winners from match one also have the stats on their side as well because not only do they have launch site
They've been able to transition over towards dome and double up in their loop face
Yeah, really interesting actually splitting where they are landing at the moment. It's only
Zach Mazer on your screen right now who is doing a little bit of looting
Over at dome so everybody else is gonna be out at you think about the amount of information
We're gonna be able to leave it. It's it's quite something
They're gonna have good evil opportunities. They're gonna have a lot of loot with the zone being pretty close to them as well
Let's look at good for team vision if you're wondering about the zone
Let's give you that information
We are going out towards harvester by the looks of things. AT Global good news for them
Alliance very good news for them over at tree. They have a ring console and RRQ arriving already
To try and take that western side of harvester. Yeah liquid are gonna be moving quickly from lava siphon as well ninjas and pajamas
going to be shadowing them. And
actually, and I be watched liquid
hit the ring console survey beacon,
et cetera. Now they're going to take
that and get the same info with a
liquid half. So I will be a little
bit further behind interesting as
well. Sometimes it's best to let the
team ahead of you, hit the information
and then you can base your next
decision off of it. Of course,
probably a little bit early for
that to be the most value that you
can get out of it. Usually if you
you to do that. So, Ninjas in
pajamas, they're hitting an
e-back right now. As we look
over to Alliance who went out
first in our previous game, a
tough moment for them, but they
have fantastic play on to this
zone, and with Watson in the
composition, Hackett's on Wraith,
and Unlucky on the Seat, and
it's set up for the long game
here. And I do think Alliance have
to make these maps that aren't
Storm Point count, because
The lines have been able to find themselves in a pretty solid position to start with, as have many teams moving to the centre of World's Edge yet.
And it is really about where you can find somewhere to call home and set up.
The compositions have changed quite significantly with the crypto band from match one as well.
We can have a lot more seer in the lobby.
19 seers in the lobby.
That's a lot of seer.
Too much.
Interesting to see some of the racing essentially just going on as well.
You saw R.C. trying to get into that snake.
taken. A lot of these teams would have had a prior position that they'd want to play
on certain POIs. Shoot the zone, pull there. And if you're just half a second late, half
a bit late, on your loop path, the time that you leave your POI, you'll find that spot
is taken. Is that your division? They fought their way towards zoning in the last game.
And this time they're quite inside of it. Yeah, they fought excellently in the previous
and trying to both teams hold their snakes. Oh, one of you has to go down here. You cannot
both reside. You're gonna constantly be poking at one another. And Sentinels, they do bite back a little bit, and now both teams say, I don't feel confident in pushing. So they will currently cohabit, but it's like a noisy neighbor. You just hope they move up soon.
to get a gem back. It's very
important that gives us an anchor
position for sentinels to fire
from knowing those shields will
be recharged. Stay with in the
distance of that interception
pilot up on the high ground. You
saw RC trying to take that snake
position earlier. They were beaten
by sentinels. They're only playing
up on the high ground overlooking
the snake at Harvester Wolves on
the screen right now. They're a
little bit further away from the
as our team Falcons. We look
like they kind of counter retain
here towards Mirage for other ring
console want to hit the survey
big. I was mentioning Falcons was
mentioning Laver Fischer being the
best performing POI statistically
with its average points. I do think
that Falcons chose POIs in the POI
draft that have been performing well.
Interesting to see, you know, when
you were looking at the stats, you
kind of jumped out. You see like,
I mean, it's like, wait, there's
a pattern emerging here. It just
seemed appropriate that Falcons
would choose the best performing
PY, but I do think it's a risk.
It's going off of a lot of
averages. It's going off where
those rings have been pulling as
well because usually the points
averages are kind of exceeded
because of where the zones have
been going, but it is a game
plan. And well, if it works, we
are going to call them geniuses
or one person in particular
privacy will be called a genius.
Don't say no dalgas. They're all geniuses. Good save. That's what's inside the countdown right now.
What a day it was for them. What a four days I should say it has been for them so far.
But no points on the board yet. We mentioned how Emiya has an unfortunate kind of pattern in
history when it comes to getting to the finals looking fantastic through groups and then just
kind of falling flat. When the
pressure gets a little bit too
much for them. One team who
isn't feeling the pressure and
won't be in this game. Number
two is a winners of game one 19
points already on the board for
them. We usually say if you're
watching for the first time, you
aren't in how kind of an average
of points per game works for a
very good game. 10 points per
game. Usually saying we're in a
position to win at all. Very
happy with 10 per game. Yeah,
you would be match point
eligible by match five. Now we
eligibility from match three historically match for we've seen it quite often as well
But with how tight these lobbies have been I am curious to see when we get there
Let's see what team vision's planning is we've got a listening queued up this jumping and listen to the boys
Well over an aftertrain
Make sure you guys have a fuck ton of knees ready. Yeah, I do because what like on this fight
I'm gonna break down probably up at the low ground in Skynet and tack into them. Okay. Yeah
I have two old XLs on me, with a gena, a long bomb one guy.
I need to give you power to boost skill.
Oh my god.
Did we just go over here?
Where does this pull to?
I feel like it's this zone.
Yeah, I think it is too.
I think it's that zone.
No?
It's the filling point.
Yeah, but the thing is if it's not that zone and it pulls here, then we have to play off
that.
I'm a little bit confused what zone this could be so what I want to do here is I want to go for yellow
but what if we go for here instead so that we can play for both because if we get stuck in this
we have to go there anyway all right let's let's just go here for now and then let's warm room okay
yeah because if we're reading this on wrong and it goes over here always great Stevie inside from
the IGLs about where they think it could be going. Vision a little bit confused about that
ring, Paul. For now, they're going to head towards train station where Nemesis currently
reside and they say, maybe we can just sit here. We have seen it pull this way before,
but we're not entirely sure. Yeah, I'm going to be honest, my eyebrows are raised. Zach's
eyebrows are raised. You heard it from himself. You know, the man himself, you said, I'm not
quite sure where this zone is going. If I'm going to hedge my bets, I think it's going
to pull over to the harvester side, possibly on the hillside, but it's a strange one for sure.
And I think a lot of the teams that have prior harvester are going to be looking at this and going,
oh, did we risk leaving early here trying to take a little bit of space that's available on the other
side of zone? Team Vision are kind of gambled down on this side. If it does pull to the other,
they'll have to fight through the choke and then they have the hillside to work with. So,
I actually kind of like the position in Team Vision. If they don't get to pull this side and
they can work their way through the choke, then they'll be looking down on everyone else.
It's them hedging their bets again, and, well, not hedging their bets, excuse me,
they're being able to give themselves a secondary option just like they did in match one.
Now, under some pressure, under some fire, and currently within an exhibit,
so they'll have to make sure they get away.
Creative routine coming in from peace there to get out of the exhibit.
And for fun, we force them away.
to be able to get the ball
to the right. Seems that
outside of zone right now is
interesting. You've got a limit
who we just saw and can see on
your screen trying to force
their way in and will be safe.
Team Falcons over a stage in the
moment. They're not inside of
the next zone, and I wonder if
they're actually waiting to hit
the ring console, which it looks
like they're going to do. I
think that's a very, very smart
thing to do. If you're on edge
right now and you could get the
info on where the zone is going
to be going, I think you're in a
great spot. If they do get that
info, they can rotate style if
it pulls that way and being one
Nemesis also in a great spot, but unlimited and fun, still sizing each other up at the moment.
No one over-committed to this fight, waiting for utility to be used, perhaps.
But they are hurting themselves, the longer this fight goes on, because there is a possibility of a third-party E36 having a little look at it.
And the longer a fight does go on, the more reluctant you are to actually take it, because of that third-party possibility.
And it really has been interesting Mark, to see the pace of this game compared to Stormpoint.
Still 20 squads remaining. No real engagements thus far.
This one's this
Tyler Scarford and Tyler's down
Super some great shots piece with a distraction essentially a cueing down on alter
The void passage to get involved
More take the attention away
You know how dangerous unlimited can be in these lobbies in these team fights when they're working their way in from edge
They really are the boogie man for so many teams in the lobby the zone has pulled to the north now
right now. There's no one that can be able to set themselves up without an evac tower.
And now the positioning of Team Vision becomes a lot more difficult. Zone pulling all the
way to the north. They are the furthest team from the zone that are still inside of it.
But Zeddy eSports and SAUL who are currently moving their way to the lava side for some are
quite far off. But Vision have at least managed to move up alongside Nemesis here.
That makes the fight a little bit more comfortable for them, but they're getting shot in the back, and Sacred is taking the knock-angle here.
Abrelland is going down low.
Look at us having a peek. Sacred trying to save the day here, but all three members of Team Vision are still up, and Carta's going to swing.
Sacred has to chew back to try and keep himself alive.
And it looks like Advani's vision here, Skittle Cakes, is going to be taken down.
Trouble is you've got reject now coming from the other side falcons are coming through the tunnel as well vision
I'll screwed whichever way they go here, and they don't really realize it
But here comes team falcons on the Falcon portal back. It does give vision a chance
Nemesis will be eliminated rejects like a back away
And somehow vision are holding on to this one falcons have been able to just give them that opportunity
Over to the Zorin Zayn division are out
out. They've bullied their way through teams a little bit earlier, but not E36 inside of
zone this time around. CNAP's going to be able to re-bought back to its feet by the
looks of things, although there may be a cheeky Yan-Yan-Yaguarez looking to move it to see
if they can clean that up. Over to the southern side of zone where we've got a little bit
of the build up as well. CNAP will eventually be bought back to its feet, and this is SAULGG,
GG. And technical, also, having a little look at this one.
So you will get out on zone and they can actually find a position to play on this southern side.
But it's just such a long route from this point.
And this is where you as a team have to start considering how you're going to find points.
Could this 3K PD vital for your chances of getting much point eligibility later?
36 takes some damage from a limit as well in the QP.
But GG, inside the exhibit, just go have a little pick at a brunt, and SAUL have decided they have to fight this.
Legacy gets the shields broken, but look who will be the first down. Legacy will also fall. Everyone is weak apart from Zayn. Zayn in a 1v1, Zayn will win it!
Blast is also up, it was a 2v1, and it's a comfortable hole coming in from GG.
So now Vision has wrapped back rounds to take the fight against Reject here.
Oh, it's not loaded the gun, Mokata. He gets taken down.
Falcons just went out. Liquid also fall.
That's the big dogs.
Big teams fall in now.
The vision are applying a lot of pressure to Reject.
But now RRQ are sending one player over as Reject do get taken out.
RRQ, Pryce is having a look at this,
and now Zac is left on his own.
He's going to immediately go for the res onto Lota.
I wonder if they're going to be able to be out of the line of sight.
everyone else to look for a deathbox res a little bit later on it was actually a
craver shot from pricey and they are gonna be vulnerable from that right
hand side you can see Zach Maiser and by the way I'll ask you I'm not letting them
go they are tag team at the moment back and through through this portal but
that portal is only gonna last for so long
so vision might have done enough to stay alive here and I'm still interested to
see if they could hit that deathbox res they're trying right now walls down in
Canyon. We've got to be careful the team's moving above them as NIP have to be careful.
The pressure coming in from GG. Kareb is lost alive again for them here.
A limit just eliminated as well. Even though Kareb may escape here, GG is still trying to
hunt him down. Zayn is relentless. Zayn is inevitable as GG, pick off another team.
the pajamas go down and now here comes alliance setting themselves in on to e36 who are below them
a g in the area as well
a g up on height
you need a lot of options for them i'll take you when a fire upon in a few moments so i'm gonna
be careful watch your back the triple swing coming in from gg and lefties down and then above them
is a g they hear the commotion and they sense the opportunity for some free kp they peek down
Jaguar is who'll find one.
And actually a member from Blue Steams have got down.
Careful, Yanya, careful, Yanya.
GG have lost two, a line's also got knocked as well.
But Akku replied, his gaming play on the Aces after a fantastic effort previously were full.
That's a creamer!
And for what look like a fantastic position to play from,
AGGlow were dead.
GKE Force will be out next as well!
Oh, that's crazy!
One more.
One-five connect with the second shot, but the first one onto Akku is enough for them
to really force the lights into a difficult position here.
RRQ are holding so much space in this zone. Their major threat is going to be Wolves and Vision.
Those three teams are in the best spots. Vision also taking up a lot of space.
Now they're checking the sensibles down to just Blinkton. Bucks against the wall here.
By the way, Vision did get back up to the three. All three players are healthy again.
and they control the south-west side of the zone. E-36 seen up, it's up. Fun gonna be finished off on the low ground.
But E-36 not safe inside of this zone. They have to keep moving forward.
Blitz is gonna have to Q through this wall and it's gonna be blind.
We can take a little bit of a route through this. Snake's vision, Zac's very low.
But they've been able to answer back for the damage Elite were doing here.
This is an important fight. You win this on the West, you control the entire West side.
Look at the chew coming from Kar. He says, come follow me.
There's nobody down here. Sensors have to eliminate.
They can't make out. Elite now have to drop.
And Kar with the G7 scouting his hands has given the advantage to Vision.
The winners of Game 1 are about to delete Elite Esports.
And now Vision are the only team who are not in the building at the moment.
They have the most space.
Age of Global, down!
Everyone else is residing in the same area.
Although, Alliance have just created a portal to the Sun.
They're certainly going to be in a good position as well.
Walls up on the high grounds, no name, what a moment he had yesterday.
Christy's having a look at this.
He hears the flag in.
Oblique only sees the death screen as the end to force 36 will be eliminated.
We have four teams remaining.
and
there's a healthy alliance up on the high ground yet fantastic ball from hackers to give alliance this southern side
Recognize there was a gap
There was an opening because everyone was fighting each other and now actually vision
They're in a tough spot here because both RRQ and Borgs are having a little bit of a look at them as our alliance
And to try and plan this one out is going to be very tough indeed
Vision to be a team that has to be first in
Tartar down, Lose it down!
Barely any help to Wubb, the team vision will be eliminated.
Now the Craver, so vital here.
Wolves on the high ground, RRQ below them.
But the Craver in the hands of Hackes.
Excuse me, in the hands of Pricy.
Could be a difference, make it. Hackes playing the off-back was a lot better.
Playing the space. He's alright, so he'll be able to Q back.
I love this though. You take an angle, you can add that little extra bit of damage
and then you just feed Unlucky and Akku.
They're all gonna play there, but now Wolves,
they're gonna be at bottom here.
Maybe it's advantage RRQ.
Well, I expect to play on the side of the building.
They would have been vulnerable,
having to move down, so they're trying to play
to the side cover, they were kind of forced to move
from that height.
And now they're ticking, and now they're burning,
and with Akku down,
all of a sudden, the pendulum swings the way
Now Wolves esports, no names found one. Alliance now down to one. All 3 still helping. No names taking names. Hackers down as well.
Last save from RRQ and no names hunting. Still not done yet. RRQ might get a chance to reset. Castle wall comes out just in case though.
case though, it's Bankcentre's own. Wolves say come to us, RRQ. If you're feeling brave,
no name looking to cook. Grave in the hands of Pricey though, one bullet could be a difference
maker. Show you what.
It's interesting now. It's a 2v1 for Pricey, not enough. Wolves, these bots closing out.
But what an endgame it was!
The pricey hits that, the second one, oh my god, this place explodes.
I'm not sure I could have jumped higher.
Balls, e-sports, they held strong.
In the end, Alliance were kind of frustrated by the length of which it took for our future
approach as well.
They took every moment inside that building away from the ring and in the end, they just
felt themselves too vulnerable below moves.
And all these bots who have quite the following were in Paris.
They put up some big numbers indeed.
they have not quite caught up to your vision.
They do put themselves at 29 points as a total.
So they are over halfway towards match point eligibility.
Incredible performance from Wolves.
The number one seed, ApexLT coming into this event.
Well, we're starting to live up to that reputation.
A big, big win for them.
It felt like the end game was in slow motion at one point.
After Pricey hit that headshot, he saw the trailer.
He saw the montage moment, but it's going to be wolves who hold strong.
The advantage you have with a castle wall is just so significant as well,
and even though it was a valiant effort as a two, look at the reaction from wolves.
And to be honest, look at the reaction on the other side for RRQ, because they know equally
how much points they just put on the board. They're only one point behind wolves e-sports.
the game. It's about the
points. And right now it is not
about wins. It is about points.
It's about the race for points.
You're right. It's the race to
match point eligibility that
matters for everyone in this
lobby right now. 50 points is
the target get to 50 points as
quickly and efficiently as you
can. Then you start worrying
about winning games.
back and forth they shift as we look at the match results for match two more of
these quarters but 24 points on the board to send themselves up into second
place RRQ not far behind an alliance and a massive massive third place for them
but 12 points on the board as well look at team vision in behind as well good
KP for them they put more points on the board in game number two elsewhere with
the big points being sucked up by the top of the teams that lead the board
They're not really too many points to talk about to be shared from the rest of the lobby
It's been a fantastic start to match point finals as we always expect
We'll have to see if that momentum continues after this break. Don't go anywhere. The LGS pick one playoffs will continue
Now I've just grabbed Zayn off the stands, you know, he's trying to chill out before
the competition today, but of course he's here to do a nice little interview with us,
Zayn. What do you think has contributed to your success so far in the tournament?
We've just been sticking to our plan, playing our game, and things have just been running
smoothly for us so hopefully it stays the same. Yeah, a man with a plan Zayn, I like that indeed.
Now do you guys think you have what it takes to win this today? 100% yeah. This is the best team
I've ever been on. My teammates they've got close to winning like two lands so far so adding me to
the team I think we can we can make it happen today yeah. Yes I love those vibes and I mean
today is the day. Now since Effect hasn't actually made it into the finals today do you think you
You have what it takes to be the best fragger for EMEA today.
100%.
Yeah.
Lost land that I made finals that's our frag, so hopefully we can do it again this time round.
So yeah, 100%.
Well you guys better be watching your screens today for Zayn from Gaming.
Gladiators, best of luck for you guys today and that'll be those.
Alright, I'm here in the stands.
We just talked to Lufka.
I'm here with Charlotte and Robert, last sister and father.
Guys, how do we feel supporting GG in the crowd right now?
Charlotte.
your first land? No sir, I've been coming to land since LA, so I'm super proud of my
brother. I know they're here to watch it, but I'm trying not to jinx anything, because
every time I see that, there's something going wrong. So I'm hoping and playing the
things go really well and they deserve it. And as someone who's watched these lands
before, I personally feel this is the best I've seen them play in a while. What about
you? Yeah, I mean, to be honest, this is the first time I've actually been nervous. The
whole, like normally on land, I'm an absolute wreck, but I've actually managed to like somehow
I'm not having like palpitations every single day.
So it's, it's kind of nice.
I've been able to like, okay,
they're doing what I'm trusting in them, you know?
Now, Robert, your blast father,
the journey of a parent in eSports
has got to be a little different.
Talk to me about your experience and just being here.
My goodness.
All I can say is, put it this way,
right from when he was leaving school,
I knew he was gonna do something exactly.
He found Apex,
of the game but this game just stuck out for him and he's been devoted to the
cause ever since and he's gone from progress to progress. He's sore, he's
ruffeted, he's going for the game, he's aiming to win and I have every face he'll do that.
All right, I mean I was gonna say any final words that was all the final
words he needs. GG man, what support Robert, pleasure to meet you, Charlotte,
Pleasure to see you again, Gigi and the family zone in the crowd here at EWC 26.
Let's see if they can keep up the momentum and take a win today.
Welcome back everybody to the Apex Legends Global Series year six,
late one playoffs at EWC 2026. So far alone, we just saw Wolves pop off with game number two,
Dub. I want to hear your thoughts back at home guys. I want to know how long you think this
This is going to go to this is match point finals for a reason as we get to see team vision leading the way with
34 points already the fact that this team has already
17 kills in the span of two games makes you wonder our major moments of thing of the past
They may be because that team is looking incredible the duo of Loder and Carter alongside Zach have been impressive
Right the fact that we've minimized all of our point losses there on worlds
That just the worst map and they still were able to grab 15 points alone as we go over to the back half
It's starting to look like team Falcons team them is this team liquid
Are we shocked to see them at the very bottom? This is the time for them to wake up shots it
Maybe is it the ramp up? Maybe maybe that's the ramp up and we've seen this happen before but you know what we have also seen
It would just be a Cinderella story from Zack not making champs when he was originally on the VP was Slayer and Lou
To getting the most wins in Bro League and now topping the overall standings team vision
Starting off great and as we've already mentioned when it comes to match point finals
It's my favorite thing as we swap over out of World's Edge into Olympus
The cool part about Olympus right is that we really love the left side of the map
So when you're thinking about that story of team vision, where did they prioritize?
They grabbed 24th pick, Stoner's University.
So knowing that we can get a lot of points early prior to some of those zones,
but who knows, maybe we carve our path to the West.
The majority of our teams picked this about, you know, their third map pick overall.
And I'm immediately looking at four fun Esports,
but my big question is where will elite Esports be starting?
And that is at Oasis.
Now here's the deal.
Elite Esports, they were powerhouses in group stages, but they are getting run down here in the early match point finals games.
I mean with the amount of Zones we've seen all over on Sue's summers and gardens and makes you wonder how
Olympus end zones are gonna look like on match point finals and for those of you guys who are new to our match point finals format,
Remember a team has to achieve 50 points and then after getting 50 points in a
separate game be the game winners to be crowned your ALGS split one playoffs
champions and ready with the way that business is playing nearing almost 40
points this is what you like to see and now whoops ramping up themselves
getting 12 Kp and a game to win is trailing right behind the Titans this
after just two games alone behind visions.
Well, if we're going to be talking about wolves just
before we dive into the Falcons,
the wolves from Apex South are one of the most consistent teams
across not only Storm Point and E-District,
but also Olympus.
So rotating map to map to map like this
should be in their favor.
For Falcons, though, we talked about it at the bottom,
and it's crazy to see that they are just, I don't know,
Vicki, like, how do you think they're looking?
I mean, how I was a little nervous.
I could understand.
All nervous?
I mean, Akku was staring him down.
He's like, I may be the young guy here for Alliance,
but, you know, we're warming up.
Very true as we get to take a look at the Alliance fans
in the crowd.
They know how to show up time and time again
from the family to the fans who have been trailing
the Alliance story to making it into this finals lobby.
They know what they got, but it's
about converting into it when it comes to being a top 6,
13 point.
But it's still that very big gap that we have.
even RRQ up to Zeddy in fourth place with 19 points. We're wrapping up to go on to Olympus
everyone. We're going to see what our team's getting ready within their POIs, but looking at the
history and already talking about the Legend Band's tip, we've seen crypto and sear up the table
and it's kind of followed that suit. Looking at the way the group stage is playing out as well as a
survivor stage. Yeah, when you say that survival stage, typically we had that mad Maggie in that
third game band. However, we did see Watson band early when it came to Olympus, so my thing is,
are we prioritizing the Watson because I personally think we need to, and if I've confirmed Vicky,
how many picks is Watson? The fact that Watson and Mad Maggie are tied at 100% each tick, you are on
the money when it comes to these legend bands and how it's kind of adjusted a little bit going
through our different game. Hold on guys, this is groundbreaking. This is groundbreaking. We're
We're going to the West on Olympus for the first time in the year 6 ALG at Split 1 playoffs.
Do my eyes deceive me?
Am I in a fever dream?
I'm rubbing them really quick because you gotta look at the teams who do go over to
the West side of Olympus.
I mean even thinking about the POI drafts of the teams that think they're gonna have
advantage when they end up getting leading team visions over to Somers, Zeddy too.
And with a lot of these other squads who will be able to get the reconciled, they've gotten
them that note early and they're already going in for a quick rotate.
I'm looking at elite they've dropped the evac tower over at Oasis ninjas and pajamas with the utmost rotation out of there
For everyone that's got the 20 picks on Watson
So everyone ring consoles galore zeta division and Zeddy e-sports are rotating towards Hanan labs
Likely to get access to confirm that we truly are going to the West now for the teams with the longest rotations grow
Team vision summers that one hurts a little back to a states we go
Already started off with this early fight with a huge pile up of teams here, Setnals.
One of those teams to settle down.
Got the fans behind us ourselves, but it's going to be tough for Setnals since, you know, they're going to have to walk out here with a new POI, fully white AG2.
We try to start off strong already. Senior poor play right in front of them and losing out on Newzoola and Hoblata.
The next victim, Setnals. Looking like they went in for a kidnap from Blitzer who is on the way.
Oh now taking control over us in a high ground and a little bit of revenge now is gonna come out of the hands of Lusca
But a great way to start things off in getting this KV at early points
But the best part about these buildings right as you have these crannies, but when madman is prevalent
A riot drill will definitely hit a full for you good thing
We can hit that death box recovery just a few more seconds
But incoming frag grenades are going to keep the sentinels from being able to that honestly get in that tree right there
You shield sell up and let's get our blinks are back
We just spoke to the family of gaming gladiators
Talk into the father and also the sister Charlotte who has been able to be here to support her brother and gaming gladiators have had one heck of a
tournament run a G go a
team
That also has been able to ramp up now down to a duo
Yanians also on that rate to come at that what blinks are being on the rate
themselves but with so many teams that moving up there's a lot of space to share
over by a states. Yeah it's gonna a slower start for AG Global for sure this
entire week they're one of our only teams that have not actually achieved a
map win across our days here. So keep tabs on them as Sentinels are in the same
boat. AG Global definitely looking to try and improve on this position. Portals
to keep through the Watson fences and we have not gotten blinks are back just yet
Yeah
Mexico set those are your first team eliminated
For game number three. It's a tough one here tip
But it's going to be a cleanup with so many teams out trying to farm this Kp
Gk not moving from their spot happily sitting it underneath these buildings and with the amount of Watson every team having a Watson
This is when you can expect an RRQ also from within this building trying to find the opportunity to try to get a kid up and protect this portal with lots of fences.
And that's the thing, right? With so many rates and altars in our lobby, it's making these, holding the vicinity is difficult, right?
RRQ have the race, so sure, they can't pop through a floor to go. They have to go in through the fences as GG blasts, blasts alive here.
here next to the pylon fences are up going for the reds our RQ trying to get
up there or do we do we full send that to know there's two mate teams here I mean
with NIP and Kobe so long which by the way this has been one heck of a tournament
looking at hole he is gonna go back and they got the finding folks fighting
strafing flame on the other side of that portal curve was ready for the
suppressed fire just in case you saw those Watson fences lined up to try to
block out the mouth of that board of a man gets caught as a liar drill does
as more than enough since he was literally one pixel of HP.
With 90 squads left though, it's literally just a drive-by
with these teams just poking from afar.
But the missile, once again, the drill,
just drilling into the team underneath that.
As they made the hoop, my gosh,
this finishing blow to find Bane.
And now we get to get the deathbox threads on their side.
And gaming gladiators with five kills so far in this game alone.
Just needs name back, our fragger.
But if you keep those riot drills frying
into the other teams whittled down their resources.
However, those pylons are gonna keep,
meanwhile, we need a replay of this.
Unlimit move in and take out Alliance.
Alliance going out early once again.
Better looks here for Unlimit to scoop that up
on an isolated fight over onto the North side
on the outskirts of Oasis where there was a ring console.
So you could've gotten that information.
Team Liquid are gonna be transcending through fight night.
Out of the North side is all RQ,
not letting an IP breathe for a second.
Remember they sent out that nade that landed at their feet before.
They can't catch a break with another death box present we saw too in the feed.
A strafing flame, hopefully he's going to be able to get these shields up.
I mean, some GG now moves up, and that's the side by side highlight actually.
From Stan Nolson's, this is their POI.
That's how they felt a little earlier.
The life he is on the bottom left here of AG.
Do get a knock after they lost off on Havadis,
and it was with the portal push to find NIP.
Ninjas and pajamas also eliminated during that skirmish.
During that skirmish, if we tune into Enter Force 36,
Oleah is down in Sinef, and she's in a play around the pylon,
currently open with multiple options for teams to stare at them here.
But Reject also another team hailing from APAC North
were the ones initially dealing that damage to them
before deciding to back away.
The team's not trying to get involved in the pile up here.
Reject, trying to clear this northern side closer to the EVAC tower.
We see where E 36 is situated over onto the choke on the north side that exits
we're unlimited taking that fight earlier against Alliance.
But a lot of teams playing on the edge because this is going to be a southern
estate.
That's going to be crazy.
So we don't actually pull straight towards dock yard.
We bring up the map.
You can see right there.
Zeddy Esports holding just on the outskirts of that ripped team Falcons.
Their team nemesis back in their home of dock yard do have reject just ahead of
them.
But you have to start thinking about where we are going to approach that next circle.
And what information do we have?
The ring console there at Dockyard will be able to get hit by the Watson from Team Nemesis
and they'll know exactly how they need to approach this.
It's not going to be easy considering we have about 8 or 9 teams playing around the
Estates area.
And of course that little pocket with the two survey bins outside there.
That's going to be tough.
And it's going to be great too.
At least being able to hold onto the high ground, if they clear that southern side of
the zone.
on that pilot that we will eventually see against Zeddy as well as Team Vision before they end up
wrapping behind them. But it's a side by side where Falcons mention having a pretty rough start
tip now playing off the Southern Choke themselves and playing it safe here while E36 not so safe
themselves. They do lose out on Synap in the process. Thanks to Floreufa who catches him with the hemlock.
Yes, Synap plays a lot of these movement characters as kind of main IGL and it's just getting caught
out on some of those entry moments. Obli and Juzna now kind of pulling together, playing behind the
knockdown under fire. Wolves from the basket and though shooting towards Rijek would allow E36.
No, just kidding. We got a lemon in the mix and enter force 36. Go down. A lemon is seeing the
buffet in front of them and is scooping them up just for themselves here. Gonna be able to get that
K.P. as they did the vision. Also our neighboring, the other side of the wall once they get through
that choke. And as you see the nice fly by of where everybody is, this is the real estate that we
we're talking about with the dive-up of a lot of these teams that are essentially coexisting with
one another, but other squads who are still playing on the edge of AG still stuck as a duo,
seeing if they have any opportunity because they were lacking on meds. I mean you don't even have
a med kit if you're in a Zoli. It's got to shield that and only three shield cells. He's out of this
fight and I'm worried about that ammunition he's got for the alternator. Yeah it's not like you
putting the altar here. You've got the race. You're not going to be able to use altar passive to kind
of loot the boxes around you and we haven't taken an actual fight and finished it and had the chance
to slurp up a lot of that loot. We do have the Maggie Ball in our back pocket should we need to
but the issue is you pounce on one here and it states you're getting full cent.
Back to S8UL, a little bit of a slower start for them though as they're rotating.
Hold on some Aussie on Aussie violence real quick here because the legacy and we saw Zero getting
not from both sides but S8UL get a little bit of revenge and panic. Try to back up Zero in the
We're gonna have to see how that's gonna play out, because on the other side of that choke, it's Vision moving up behind Valkyries, who won't admit they've been.
The team that comes out on top of this fight will be able to have priority over whether one of these teams will get the Kraber.
We're gonna have to see as Carter moves up, looking on the other side of the lift, though.
It's still this other fight happening against SKUL and Team Liquid, so it's this pile up as Vision has to be careful, because the 3P is behind them from Zeddy.
Before Loader is gonna be able to try to get this res, but you know that Zeddy's right there.
Team Liquid take out S8UL, and Vision are going to have to get on the move,
because here comes Zeddy, here comes Dup, and they immediately make their presence known.
D's with a play, he knocks Loder, and Carter joins up Team Vision, it's out!
Got to hit them with the Drup, you know what I mean?
We scooped that up, making them fall in 15th place,
and it's kind of great to see how Falcon see the now Vision gets eliminated.
They get the missing pin, they're now going to look at Zeddy,
and Team Liquid, who took out SA and UL, will be able to get involved in some of the possible 3P.
You mentioned the mythic bin, right? And there's a Kramer in Hal's hands. Now, from this side of things,
we can walk up into that next circle. The issue is, it's incredibly open, so that Kramer is going
to be needed to open up these engagements for those quick fights. However, we just saw Zeddy,
3P up onto Team Vision, who are still needing to come out of the tunnel behind Falcons.
Why they're not trying to over commit to and that's why with so many altars in this lobby
you've got that portal to just reset if you need off the void nexus, unlimited though.
We've been able to scoop up a total of 4kp for this team.
But surely with round 3 closing in behind their backs they've got to start moving up
and it's Regent waiting to gatekeep them here as they move up themselves off the portal
to try to get onto the high ground but try to mix it up too.
You have one and you go have the other to then blow it yourself up to the left side of the high ground,
but you bait them!
You see the wrecking ball coming in from right behind them, and this may be their opportunity.
Oh! Off the boat! What the heck!
They can attack the boy passage!
They can attack!
We need to reload!
There we go!
Peace is able to finish the blow.
Can we get caught up on the left?
You lorry man empties diving throughout your reese.
Can we talk about the positioning of that boy passage?
A deathly abduction?
While Reach I do get eliminated.
Wait.
They really just said hold this frag.
Really do elite, so one of the best teams here on Olympus with the majority of their points coming from this map in particular good to see them still here fighting to climb up the later board back to estates for fun wolves wolves who's in second place tied with their apex out neighbors are RQ at 30 points.
Oh, and they get the res on the death box too, on limits.
After clearing this northern side, coming out of the fight that we saw earlier from
Aglaya to get the death box res, Zeta Division are neighboring them, and now they're lurking
behind them and having to be careful.
Zeta Division hear this happening, looking ahead too with the elites still alive and
covering these southern buildings up as states.
Dropping below with these resets that we're currently seeing from these teams that I've
have just completely taken over this POI.
They are just poison ready.
It's a shame they're still on all blues,
but they just really haven't had any good fights yet.
Right, zero kills, 13 squads remaining.
And as they keep tabs on where everything is going,
they are on that northern side.
You mentioned on limit, Zeta, Team Liquid,
teams that are wrapping, but from the south,
things are gonna get difficult.
Zeti immediately finding pressure
from Skittle Cakes across the way.
and RRQ and AG Global can hear this.
So we saw them take out Team Vision,
now they've been able to hold onto the high ground
that we were looking at before.
Team Nemesis are looking at them,
but they are gonna be able to move up into that next zone
where they really don't have to worry about Falcons
who were isolated in the compound
over to the south side of that choke
that we saw earlier with the mythic bin,
while Unlimit now move up.
Looking at Team Liquid, for those of you wondering,
they took a huge roundabout rotation,
and now they are looking dead at Unlimit
As you lorry man taking some shots off this G7,
leading at the wrecking ball, but looking behind them
is Enlite, who won a chunk of the action.
Team Liquid now moving around, playing up the rocks,
has zero peppers into them, get eliminated,
and AG Global meet them in the lobby.
Team Liquid starting to heat up here in Olympus, finally.
Just takes them out three, and we've moved up
to 15th overall on the leaderboard.
Riot drills happening as Zeddy Esports finding a home
out on the rock, let it eat, intercept all,
but Dupes still the health ticking down
as they work to stabilize.
Nemesis trying to stabilize.
Oh no, what's sacred can catch a break.
Elise is gonna be able to hide right behind the gen
while Nemesis aren't looking to get the dead box breaks
onto Albert Lately, but having to be careful
because he's being right here.
Dupes now tries to fully swing on stage,
but skill goes down.
Former teammates, now enemies.
As sacred now, Trice will swing,
playing off the knockdown shields,
And look who tries to involve themselves from the high ground, forcing deep stuff back away.
It's the pile up here as Gaming Gladius have not left from their position.
They see the opportunity, they dive in, and now Sacred's left alone.
But you saw from Sacred, huge as Wolves do take out the soul of what that's without Sacred,
taking on Gaming Gladius' necks.
And that's what happens when you move into a states with multiple teams.
Everyone's looking for angles and Zeta.
Now we're building a cross from a leap.
One, and into the void passage we go.
The riot drill to try and finish off the damage.
We've got a wingman, we've got plenty of bullets,
and we're just gonna let her rip.
Two, kind of.
The young gun.
He has been playing insane.
81 bullet flow in the R9, taking two shots out of Yuka.
We is gonna be able to use that void passage,
but taking their time at round five,
closing in right behind their backs now.
This is gonna be difficult for them
to make this next rotate,
because if only Wolves, Warfront, and Liquid in this next zone.
The moment they move, that doorway gets opened up in a third might.
It's just proving to do so much damage to them, and we have little time.
We're gonna need to use that Maggie Ball for the rotation.
And Vada, Yuka, still on the ground, might full health.
He's trying to get the rest of the board, they roll,
and Elite Esports has been eliminated.
I'm sorry, but no name is the only name on my mind.
As DK now, take out the final player.
He goes down and drops, moves up, but he's literally one shot, takes a point, goes all the way off the left side.
He needs to do that, he gets stunned, he gets slowed, and the rest of GK get eliminated, six blocks left.
RRQ, so consistent, almost into the top six.
Doing everything they can, we lose out on Zeta and Falcons are the ones that everyone seems to be looking at as they take down RRQ.
You can't make this up. Falcons on the opposite end of this final zone with Liquid on the
north side. Falcons taking away five total KP in their pockets with his remaining four
squads and with the Mixtec bin, Hal has the Craver. He's got the gold R9 and he's looking
at the teams like for fun that will have to move out of these buildings on the opposite
side from Liquid Wolves Eastwards. The best part about that is not only that, he grabbed
Elstar throws the craper on the ground. He's probably going to use the rest of the bullets, pick up the Elstar for endgame.
Falcons are going to do so much damage in a little time once this circle collapses. But Wolves are the question on everyone's mind.
They need 12 points to hit match point.
Wow. So close with the way that Wolves have been playing.
How? Crater in hand with this four bullets not gonna have the infinite ammo. I'll start in the other before backing away
Not having that amp is actually huge. I mean look at this. They are starving in terms of ammo
Waltz E2 with the gold hemlock it looks like with wolves now taking their time and looking at poor fun
And we have to talk about team liquid as well right on the other side like you mentioned
They're going for a two-one split the job of them solo is to keep team Falcons from moving north and not
rotating towards the east. Wolves and forefunds. At some time you're going to
have to hit these ults with the VALCO on no name. We know they like to take to
the sky to see where everyone is and slam down at the end. Wolves for APAC
south now with 38 points alone after taking game number two on Wolves as a
double-digit KP to destroy or attempt to destroy the Watson. Spences here back in
away the Nades on no namespeed he doesn't have the favor like we saw just
yesterday but we know he's so quick with it but have to deal with team liquid on
the other side is it hit this low by those own closing behind their backs and
team liquid give up the two one split they pull together and wolves cross make
it straight on the fourth one Tyler down with a nade rips into the wolves and legs goes down as wolves go out in fourth but they got
Those huge amount of gay PS Falcons move up for a fun get eliminated each Falcons versus Liquid
but Falcons with the high ground they take game number three on Olympus.
We talked about this moving into Olympus Vicki.
What was that going to look like with Falcons and Team Liquid at the bottom of the leaderboard and both of those teams
First and second place in map number three. They recognize there's a scramble to get to that 50
And if we let it go for too long our chances dwindle each and every moment
And let's not forget to have something that you pointed out
Falcons and liquid were literally in dead last in this lobby before this game
If you like that sometimes taking it really do
And the fact that both of them, by the way, with Falcons taking the lead over Liquid because
they take that dub, but the both of them got 7 KBs as we see the outbans in the crowd.
That has to like be just a sigh of relief because it can be such a momentum based game.
And you have to remember, Team Liquid, Team Falcons, these guys advanced on through the
group stages.
They didn't play through that 10-game gauntlet survival, so they had a day off.
In a sense, those first two games they played, warm-ups.
We're just getting started.
And they had some time to sit back and look at how the action played off here.
As we get to see the fans, team Falcons, they rise up, fly up.
Well, Team Liquid do come right after them.
16 total points for this team, but it's so difficult to ignore what Wolfs has been
Putting on as a masterclass man like are you kidding me already at 38 points RQ right behind with 37
I mean this top end of the overall standings after just three games alone
He's already looking to build its gap across the rest of the lobby
Look, I tell you that's just why I wear sunglasses all the time. You saw me down the metro
I'm just trying to do like stripping flame. Okay, but he hasn't had the capability to net a win just yet
But if you guys remember we heard her match point finals we can we don't care when you win
It's as long as you've got 50 points and you close it out with the win that's when it matters
Too much storyline to to see an estate ending like that, right?
Olympus showing face with a completely
Whiplash of a zone pool that we're used to seeing here if you take a look at your match the results
Falcons do take the dove with the 7 Kp liquid to follow right behind in that second place finish
But the story of what Wolves and Team ORQ have been able to put in,
being able to get the placement points, the KP on top of it.
And then you look on the other side, it was a 14% nose because that is their POI on Olympus
and how they were able to try to hold things down in that middle building.
We know that sometimes it could be a little difficult when everybody's staring at you in the lobby.
But I'm hearing that we've got an interview with one of the members of Wolves.
three maps into the match point finals and I have got crazy from here from Wolves listen to the crowd go crazy. I love that
Anyone can say anything about this tournament
But what they can't say is that Wolves e-sports haven't played their game you guys have been incredible
You guys have been taking space getting aggressive playing the way that you guys want to play now
I just want to ask it seems like you guys are really comfortable today even in this atmosphere
Did you feel that way?
I feel like it's not just us being in good form in our mental state.
We are in absolute top form, so we are very confident in going all the way here today.
I love that. I love the positivity.
Now, having said that, it hasn't entirely been plain sailing throughout this tournament,
but focusing on today.
Have you guys made any adjustments?
Given the level of teams that are in this lobby right now,
and also just to kind of back that question up,
map two was super impressive winning on World's Edge.
Is that your comfort map?
Today, because of the competition, you didn't have a smooth journey.
You also had some mistakes.
But today, you clearly felt that you were in a very good condition.
What were the changes you made?
For example, you won the second place because of the success of the tournament.
Is that because the map is the best for you?
Actually, it's not a big deal, because we are the only team in the second round, and I think our strategy, including the mistakes we made earlier, is to make us play better.
who we are today, right here, right now.
Spoken like a true top team, I love that.
Now let's touch base on that match to win once more.
Did that boost the confidence and give you some momentum
to think that this dream can now become a reality, that EWC victory?
The map to victory absolutely has and right now all the targets all aim our site is aimed to us the grand champion
I love that. Listen to that. That's great. Thank you so much for joining me in this interview
Oh, let's go with the shape. Thank you very much crazy Kong don't go anywhere because we've got another interview lined up
It's rain day with Zach
That's right major moments redefine
That's been the last year for you Zach and team vision of course loader and Carter
How has it been? I want to walk through that last game. You're a little upset
You were you and how we're exchanging words on the stage because you thought you had the game winning spot
Yeah, I mean we knew we were making a really good play and
We knew we were much closer to purple armor than the team in front of us
We knew I had a free walk in and I mean basically a free game and the myth expand on them
Which forced us to fight them early
We got third-party and we were the ones that died and you know
It's about a rail off the end of the day
Sometimes the left doesn't go your way and that's what happened happy for them that they won but
You know, I feel good that I still had a really good game playing and I got to see them win a free game if it worked out my way
Different different story. Yeah, take away is that you were in the right position to take advantage of the success now
You did have success. You were the first team to jump out and win that game. What was I guess the environment of your team knowing that
Hey guys, it's match point. We're performing going into game two and game three saying if we just keep this up
We are gonna be on match point
Yeah, I mean honestly, we feel really good about it
We went into a feeling individually like we're favorites amongst, you know apex fans
We may not be but we're really confident in our abilities and after we won that first game
I really like validated that feeling and I don't really think we're gonna slow down
I mean that game may have only been one point
But it was a great game plan ruined by unlucky mythic and I don't think there's gonna be too many more games
Okay, you said if this game goes nine or eight you've done something wrong just expand on that very quickly before we
head out with this. Yeah I mean I'm on 35 points I'm 15 off match point we just
finished game three if this goes to nine that means that I had many chances on
match point and I failed and I'm not gonna let that many get away from me so.
All right well there's a good juju here I think the last game I interviewed on
stage one the next game so we'll see if you can continue it. Zach Mazer from Team
Vision so much more ALGS match point finals coming up so don't go anywhere.
Our team and also our region as a whole, we came from a very low starting point.
We've always been the underdog when we were able to rise up.
as a region, as a team, win that EWC championship in 2025.
That was just, how can you not love that story?
This road map, this made me proud of being
one of the county Y-Bots.
An exciting first three matches here at Match Point Finals.
And boy, have we got in some shifts
and changes on that leaderboard.
But before we break those three games down,
Let's talk about the eSports World Cup Creator Program, which is running parallel to the live competition
every streamer can apply via the EWC website to co-stream EWC and engage with the viewers to earn rewards.
So make sure you check that out.
And while we're at it, let's see if we can actually get a quick, quick interview with one of those content creators,
which is going to be none other than Sid from SAUL.
Because right now SAUL, I mean we're expecting them to start off hot, but at the moment they're not doing that great
Do you think they're gonna be able to bounce back place?
I mean my prediction is SAUL and we've seen them do it before
It is getting a little bit too close and a little bit too cutthroat at the moment as you can see
You know we started an interview with Zach down his eye. We're gonna do this. Everyone is hungry for it. All right
Well, hey Sid. Thank you so much for joining us. Hi. How are you enjoying the tournament so far?
EWC is a big thing for us, it's like a festival back here in India, so I'm having fun, it's
been a fun ride, the group stage is really insane, slow start, but I think we can still
get it.
Alright, yeah, you mentioned it, slow start, Lise.
Yeah, we got the same brain, I'm on SAUL, we got the same team, you know, I put them
as my prediction, so we don't want slow and steady, but you know, they're going to come
out of the gate now.
What I wanted to ask you, do you have any words of encouragement right now for the boys
on SAUL.
What else can I say, you know, they are being backed by two of the most passionate sporting
nations in the world.
We have insane passion in the audience.
I just hope they win because I want them to come to India and we are going to treat them
like kings.
We are going to treat them for our shoulders and take them to our gaming house and then
party there.
So, yeah, yeah, what else can I say, I just hope they make it.
It's just three games, it's slow start, but I think they have within them to take the
win.
I'm going to run down on stage for you until you're going to get lifted up on some shoulders.
So let's pull it in, boys.
That's right. Thank you so much, Sid, for joining us.
Don't forget that you can also join the Esports World Cup Creator Program.
Just go to the EWC website to sign up.
But now let's talk about this past three games because, my goodness,
we have gotten some big surprises and we're actually going to start off with the winners of the last game.
They didn't start off too hot, but we finally see a bit of a bounce back here from Team Falcons.
I mean, I said it before, you can never count them out.
And the reason is that they are so comfortable in the heat of the moment, in these tournaments,
but the stress is at the most.
If they make it to finals, people might not say they're winning, but when they win, everybody's
like, yeah, that's usually what happens.
And if they don't win, people talk loud, or don't...
Oh, yeah, even more so.
I mean, you had them coming in as underdogs, right?
After seeing those first three games, do you still, obviously, do you still feel like they're
on the performing, or could this be a bit of a switch?
I mean, they needed that win big time.
They were in 20th place, I want to say,
before they were going into that game.
But this is kind of what we've seen in the group stages.
You know, they won game one or game two,
and then they start to fizzle out.
So we're going to see if that continues here.
But we know that Falcons usually
performs best in these big lobbies with the best teams
in it because they can predict what better teams are
going to do better than they can predict what
the worst teams are going to do.
So for them to have that big game, massive confidence boost.
And I definitely think that they can
momentum open. You know this has been like probably the least we've talked about them
like I said but there's always a chance you can never count a team like this.
Yeah that's right I mean going to the overall ranking you can see Wolves
e-sports in first place right now by just one point. Don't forget though the
match point is set at 50 then after that they have to make sure they secure a win
and I'm gonna actually go to team vision back to U-Slide because man this squad
actually started off hot. Yeah I'm so pumped for this team because they have
the most wins in all of North America.
They came into this tournament.
They know how to win games.
Zach Meiser and his with his IDL,
they win 50% of the games that they get to top five.
We've already seen them in two top fives.
One win, one not.
And you know, I wonder if that game too
is going to come back and bite them a little bit
because they really did leave a power position
to go put themselves to clean up some kills.
I know they wanted that KP.
They want to get to that match point format.
But at the same time, you don't need to change your game.
Just kind of get there.
And we saw what happened in that last game.
They focused too much on Falcons and they got flanked.
Someone wasn't watching their back.
I kind of wonder what the comms are like there.
But overall, I know for a fact that this team
is someone that everyone needs to be worried about
because they can win games in a match point format.
That's what you need to do.
I mean, the scariest point that a lot of IGL
should really look at is the fact that Sack said,
I saw the game winning play.
And this happened and he still made a play,
but he was one fight away from being able
to close out that game.
If you're an IGL and you're consistently
being able to put yourself into end game,
one fight away from winning,
you have done your job really, really good.
Yeah, Natinda was actually able to perform really well in group stages, coming off first place, Elite Esports.
Not having one of the hottest stars here late, as I mean, right now they are just not looking good.
Alongside with SAUL, sadly.
Yeah, we were all, you know, obviously the group stages showed us something completely different for Elite.
They were able to come out swinging and maintain those high points, high kills as well.
Now, nothing is happening for them at the moment, which is a little bit of a crazy sort of feat for them.
Of course, you know, with three games down with a few more left to go, no one's on match point four finals yet,
so it's not out for them, but why are they not showing up right now?
Okay, please, I'm going to say this once, I'm going to say this twice.
First off, first off, scrims, lies, and then on lines, lies, and now we're on group stages, lies.
So we don't know if they can keep up the momentum or not.
They haven't gotten it started, but I mean, we'll have to see it.
So far, it seems though, a lot of these experienced players coming out and
really showing up why they were once at the top and they can reach top again.
I mean, talking about elite players, right?
One team that is also down there towards the bottom, NIP.
I thought maybe the experience that they got out of survival,
we're going to be seeing that momentum carry over here.
But at the moment, that's not the case.
Yeah, I mean, they've only been improving throughout this tournament.
And for them to start off slow is a bit of a surprise to me.
I thought they were going to carry that momentum forward
with everything that they've been doing.
But I mean, we just watched two teams in 19 and 20
end up top two in that last game and propelled themselves forward.
So we are still early in this set, but we heard Zach.
He says, you know, if it goes eight or nine,
then something's going wrong because we're starting so strong.
I really think that we are going to continue to see teams elevate
themselves. We might see a leap win the next game.
We have so many amazing teams in this lobby
that, you know, it's anyone's game yet.
We don't even have a single team on match point yet.
I mean, just to quickly touch on that, we saw it on match two.
They made that crazy rotate into zone, but they had difficulty bunkering and holding it down.
So it's, yeah, definitely NIP might need to do something like a little bit different from that.
But yeah, I mean, they're getting into that position, but I just, they were getting peppered in match two,
which yeah, they're finding it difficult just to keep that building and saying that I mean,
honestly, the biggest thing is that the map is changing all the time.
You don't really get to set your footing.
So this is the most fun part of every stage of this tournament.
It's very different is that we go from playing we're playing 10 games in a 3223 and now you're going to your swapping maps constantly
You have to keep adapting and that really goes to show why these teams are that strong and why they keep coming up on head
Up ahead is because they're so adaptable. Yeah, I think one of the interesting things about that last game specifically was you know
It states any we had Watson's and Maggie's
Every team was getting peppered by the Maggie Q's in the drills and the teams that really dominated that game
with the ones playing the edge and not putting themselves in the center all the zone teams the nip's
You know we saw send those everyone is getting blasted in the center of the map yet liquid
We had all the space around the edge Falcons had so much space
And that was interesting to see how much the cons come into play when it comes to this
That's right
I mean with wolves only being 12 points away from hitting match point in this last game
I know the crowd's gonna be going wild so it's tiff and Vicky because this game for it's gonna be insane
Thank you so much, Shavin, because the arena is hitting up.
I mean, the fact that we are already three games down as we transition onto a different map,
Falcons are soaring now up from the bottom and the leaderboards now to the top,
and we hear the confidence from Zac.
We hear the confidence from Wolves when it comes to leading the pack,
and currently Wolves are leading the pack with 38 total points.
I love hearing the inside two from Zac Major and Holly.
and how they really wanted to pry out that unfortunate spawn of the mythic
bit, but specifically that lot. But now you have to make this adaptation when it
comes to match point vitals because no team is on that 50 point threshold.
Yeah, exactly. And as we move over to back to back maps on E district, you have to
start looking at the teams that focus on E district to get the most points. You
mentioned Wolves. Well, guess what they grabbed in their POI draft? Humbert Labs.
A big contention point because we've seen a lot of drop point. We've seen Humbert
We've also seen energy bank in the Rogue City Hall in which team Nemesis is landing in
But a lot of teams that are still at the top of the leaderboard that could eclipse 50 points here are our Q
38% of their points from the past week come from this map is their best
Performing map throughout our series and if we have two maps back-to-back, let's say we eclipse 50
Do we go in win condition and win it on e-district?
But here's the deal, they haven't won a map yet this week.
Oh, that's actually crazy to think too.
That's why you take a look at the fan, but you have to keep that in mind.
I love that insight, too.
Yeah.
Because it's the back-to-back e-district that we are going to have for match 4 and 5.
So it really depends on how a lot of these teams prior to that when it comes to their POIs
and how we're going to see if some of these zone pools pool,
because it's kind of been a very similar situation, right?
When it comes to predicting how these zone pools have been on e-district alone.
And we were also kind of wondering would we see a mad Maggie band would we get a Watson band
We actually get the Watson band on a lymph is here
So we could see a ton of mad Maggie's come through yet again with that riot drill bullying a ton of our teams in these buildings
I looked at alliance who are landing in street market and we did get some endings in that vicinity
Which honestly for a team like alliance that's kind of further down on the leaderboard you want to traverse more space
You want to have to fight for that position to rack up those kills to jump up the leaderboard and like you heard with that
Interview looking at the head-to-head this team on your screen guys zero their second place in the last map
Waltz first place in the last map. We saw a 1v1 earlier in the group stage
So we're tied on kills right now. Do you know what?
Could one of these guys break a tie for the week and just lift the trophy at the end?
Maybe all when when they aren't taunting yet, right? You got to wait till the very end
Would you fight? We'll see it in our match.
You got messed up.
What, like 50 hundred pounds each arm?
Dude, it's by something like the size of Hal's head.
It's actually insane.
It's actually crazy, dude.
Like, what? I mean, this is the way you start elevating
the vibes of the morale of the team.
You already know and you're looking ahead as we get started
here on E-District.
Yo, our RQ there just for a brief moment.
As they get ready to get into the arena, honestly,
I can't tell right now if the Wolves fans,
our RQ or the Alliance fans
or the Alliance fans are the loudest because Zeta they're throwing some shade up there too. They're so wild in here.
That's what I'd like to hear in the Cloud Live from Paris.
The energy is unmatched when it comes to our Apex Legends Global Series. Energy in the Cloud for all lands.
There's nothing quite like an ALGS land.
So the fact that all of you are here in Paris to witness all of the action live just goes how much to show.
You guys are dedicated to Apex Legends. You are dedicated to players. You are dedicated to the community.
So why not get into it? Let's move to E-District.
As we move in and we got game number four on the horizon.
We've said goodbye by the way to Watson as she was tied in our legend picks together with mad Maggie and Maggie
Just getting drill from afar when it comes to playing inside these buildings
Especially when it comes to the teams that will be using the boy matches office officers
I you can absolutely expect going into the district. All right now
We look at match number four legend select has occurred and Guild is on
a ton of Maggies throughout.
So there's a good chance that we are going to witness a Maggie
Band with a 100% pick rate.
Alters are 16 of them in the lobby, which means Wraith only
three. Definitely going to be using the Alters Boy Passage a
lot more to navigate all the different buildings throughout.
Here's the deal, guys, that caustic.
It's going to be really nice when you think about hitting ring
consoles and where you have to go.
Information is critical.
And to the north we go.
team Nemesis just there hovering at City Hall,
popping an evac tower.
They don't have a ring console, right?
So, nah, that's gonna be difficult for them
because they may look to grab any kind of information.
With that catalyst, they want a ring console.
That's really important to note too,
with the way that a lot of these teams
are already quick with this rotate.
Maybe trying to get that insight
with these survey beacons too,
but now trying to play a little bit behind
while AG Global do move out of resort.
After getting that survey beacon
and just trying to wait things out,
We do have two evil harbors on the outskirts of where the zone is going to be pulling.
But once again, it's kind of been that city hall zone whenever we see these zone pools.
The preference of Sparrow as well for the survey beacons and being able to use the arrow
to not actually have to get on the beacon is quite nice for wolves over at Humbert did
have a ring console and with their catalyst have already moved just to the south of energy
bank.
But SAUL was hyped on the desk and for now trying to poke at Sentinels.
former ALGS champs back just a few months ago in Sapporo.
Blinkster, who hails.
The Canadian American is an absolute savage when it comes to here.
But it seems now for a disengage.
And being the first in to go out in that last game too is tough.
But this is a team with great vibes with the way that they can just reset and
have a good time.
Talk about having these slower starts while GG right alongside them.
Do hear him actually getting control over onto this light arsenal and
And thankfully with that portal play that he also put down just for some insurance,
he does manage to back away.
Blinkster is locked in right now too.
He's able to also get the scan onto the crate, dropping down from above.
Get some more of his evil charge too before looking ahead of the teams who may
have found themselves up in the high ground by that building.
Because we know, coming out of City Hall, there is that high ground that we see a lot
of these end zones and the pulling towards.
Just imagine what would happen if they hit the back to back.
That would just go to show how good of an IGL blinksers and how fantastic Monson and Funnar, but back to Wolves who only need 12 points.
How many times have we witnessed over this past week, not only no name going crazy but Crazy Kong and when alongside them, some of the most fantastic endgame plays.
Love hearing a Crazy Kong too, ramping up with the rest of Wolves.
After dominating Pro League in APAC Southbound, looking to dominate the overall standings as Wolves now move up,
And a lot of these other teams have found themselves around these jokes.
Falcons neighboring that of liquid, by the way, where liquid do want to get control over that circle weekend.
Together with Wolves now wrapping up on the southern side, though, as they go through this highway,
nobody in the vicinity, other than the Lions, who will be coming out of Blossom Drive, where there is a green console themselves.
And they've had three wins, three second places, and if that doesn't define consistency, I don't know what does.
Our RQ is right there with them, and that's why they're in the top two.
However, just a few points separating our top three as Zack with Team Vision 35 points and Team Nemesis looking to get some, but through the void passage, Ninjas and Majamas go with their greatest game.
You know, I feel about this character here, Tiff. The legend that is altered. Bandit solution when it comes to allowing the team to get this reset, to get aggressive before diving down.
Even bigger when it comes to utilizing that void passage to get onto the high ground for free as sacred
The young legend who we have highlighted so many times in the split one playoffs
You know the Maggie Maggie having to be careful to with the drill
This is what we were expecting when it comes to these teams trying to coexist inside these buildings in sacred who's spent since
2019 wanting to be a pro wanting to be here on a main stage alongside the people that he's looked up to for so long
But back to GK, honestly, Vicky, they've been kind of floating under the radar this week, right?
They kind of just get in there in a nice spot.
Knocked though, already out, Keon and Drop trying to get him back.
Slow here too, and Drop's feeling a little bit of pressure, triple take.
It's effort to his back, trying to see if he can at least get knocked back.
But now, when you talk about the catalyst, a lack of catalyst at that too.
The loss coming up, and was the team that we just interviewed have now yeeted out the wetting ball.
playing off to the side of the piercing spikes too after looking at a team who's been playing Sparrow.
Try to shoot at that dark when it comes to this wrecking ball, but playing it safe inside the corners of the bathroom.
The reason this is important is the 12 point is an above average game, right?
So being able to go on to win condition after this would be key.
Giving you as many games in your pocket to convert before other people eclipse 50.
So every fight, every shot.
It's gonna matter. You have to be perfect this game.
And a lot of teams are noting that, right? Hearing those interviews,
imagine how that fuels some of our teams and trying to cut off these rotations
where you know off the POI drive what that rotation may look like.
We see a flyby with RRQ being another one of those teams, but they're gonna be hanging out
over the middle part of Energy Bank. There is no team around here. I mean, they're just gonna get the
information of the survey beacon and the ring console. So they're just gonna be playing objective,
but it's that big pile of that's happening over on where the zone is going.
And it's a little more of an aggro pump for them, right? The Mad Maggi, Alter, Sparrow.
They're focused on getting kills, throwing down damage, and completely assaulting whatever team
lies in their path. Brief check in with Nemesis, still in the building, still holding it down.
You've got Falcons on your screen, your most recent map winners who have now gotten further
up the leaderboard. Not quite where they want to be just yet, but into the top five they are.
For that circle, we pop just a bit north of where team Nemesis are, so that's going to favor team
Falcons. So my thing is, where is Team Vision? Based off the interview with Zach, being able
to outline what that game-winning fight is. Is it against Falcons? Do they see the same thing?
Are they going to move against each other? Because here comes Team Liquid from the north,
as well. And those three powerhouses keep hitting against each other early.
And I just really love the insight from Zach Major, noting that if he would have controlled
that building first, it was unfortunate what the myth had been spawning there and encouraging Falcons
to also situate themselves there.
I mean, what would have been that end game, right?
If they had found that spot first
and not got in third party,
I like being able to see the what ifs here.
As Vision now take a roundabout out of zone rotation
to come out of resort to play off the back end
of Rebalconz.
And they did hear that evac tower by the way.
So Falcons may now look behind them
since there's 16 altars in this lobby
that allows a reset with the void nexus.
And there's something you have to think about.
Falcons are the only team out of Team Vision,
team Falcons and the team we were talking about that have the caustic, right?
So they can get ring consoles.
Everyone else, you have to realize, hey, if there's a team by me that has access to a ring console,
there's a good chance they have that information and we play off them.
But Interforce 36, meanwhile, have been going through it.
Juzna, the fortress, the gas fortress.
He is pretty safe, even if he is a solo.
You could see just the tossing trap settled all over that bottom floor now
It really depends on how E36 though as just this force and move
How he could try to get away. He's trying to dance around them
Cuz a 30 30 has claimed his head and has claimed E36 as a first team to go out in this lobby
Those 30 30s the moment you hear it. It's like second worst to those graver shots. You just know clench
You're like oh man, it's coming from my head at this point
But nice job there for Nemesis to use their high ground and those line of sights to grab kills because they haven't left where they've been
For team vision like we were talking about right?
Using Sparrow, Altar and Mad Maggie
Similarly to RRQ to go aggro. Their objective right now is to eclipse 50 and that is all that matters.
Oh, okay. Hold on. Crazy Kong going down and now the Art Star is in nades.
In no name's no red shade, gets knocked next.
This is so hard.
Wex, he sees the TP from the other side
and trying to play around again on the other side,
but he can't stay alive.
Getting greets, elites come out on top,
and they clean that up so quick.
And that's what a fight looks like
when you don't have Watson.
Let's just put it that way.
You don't have the pylon to intercept those nades.
You don't have the perimeter security to break through.
And even with the catalyst, the piercing spikes,
The reinforcement of the doors could not stop the onslaught that Elite brought to their door.
It was a very nice climb fight too, right?
They did it very quickly with the names that they were able to put right at their feet.
But they're going down now as our second team though.
This opens the gate for a lot of other squads to try to hold a little cheeky portal there.
At least you're just trying to move forward because there is a team
trying to harass Elite.
Vision though, remember we talked about how they were able to take an evac tower
to play on the edge of resort side.
All right, look at this right now zeros out towards their left in a two-one split for team liquid
They rip harder down on the front lines
And this is where you have to stabilize because team liquid once they smell weakness
Do descend upon it and zero on the altar with the movement capabilities to make it happen
But they're being smart about it. They're not going in with their blinders on they pick them up
They know the resets coming with all your soul in the lobby literally like just having that boy's nexus once again
It's simply the insurance that allows these teams to get these free resets, but Lippin not overextending holds the side of zone
Well on the other side though for fun looking like they're not having a lot of fun
Does a team nemesis are taking a picking out of them?
Let's see as Tyler tries to jump down
Sees mags though on the back end side because there's a player on the other end of the stairs
And now moving up. I believe they're peeing to the possibility of a third party forcing Tyler to back away
This is not good. The mythic bin is just south of this fight and nemesis, ninjas and pajamas all send for fun
That's what I'm talking about the distance these angles that you can have in E district once you get to this area of the map on the buildings
We're still not in the circle, right?
So get all the loot that you need here for ninjas and pajamas and focus north and the third party was there
But it was a duo of GK where there is a replicator on top of team nemesis and as well as a mythic bin
So now GK move up try to harass a one solo team nemesis who is on that mythic bin with skittle cakes has the high ground
Looking to see if you can give me some press fire. It's definitely a hunger games cornucopia
That kind of vibe like you're like, oh wait, I get my teammate back and I get a mythic bin, but nemesis
They're not gonna let you have it sacred even the r45
I'm gonna need you to get some energy ammo and feel a little better as we move to circle
But just one more player left of GP
The fact that Monty and two also finds Lufka.
Action non-stop, sacred.
Every time I'm looking at this player, man,
he's always got the RE45 in his hand,
and with the mythic bin in their favor,
having a lot more walking away from this building
because they will have to start inching to the north,
where it will be pulling,
not towards the high ground where we've expected
the time and time again,
but on the bridge on the north side of City Hall,
where Vision, Zach himself, called it out,
unless rotate, where Lick is neighboring them.
They're gonna have a big fight later
with AG Global for that power position on the west. Elite esports on your screen on
the south side. For Falcons who have just rotated in, find a spot in Gilt getting the
Cossack Barrels down immediately, covering their path, and they start looking back right
the Riot Trail. The Nades coming. We saw Elite Esports do this once before, and Walsy throws
out the Magi Ball to try and prevent the slaughter and through the Void Passage we go.
Especially when it comes to that singer bolt, a direct counter and trying to deal with so many caustics in this lobby.
Alright, he sent out that knock grenade from very far left field.
So two ults down.
And now Vision looking to see if they can get this rez onto Loader before back of the way.
Zac is going to be able to pop this ult up just so that we can get his own singer bolt.
But with the deathbox rez, they bring back Loader.
Devices are still farming NIP by the way.
Now as they're going to be able to get the trade off too with Skittle looking to see if they can get the rez
because it was a cosmic nade and IP do get eliminated.
So do GK.
That is going to be legacy, picking that up onto Purell.
And the battle of the South is not over by any means.
S8UL actually trying to make their presence known as Reject.
Move in on Team Nemesis.
You're going to have a lot of angles down there
as Team Vision still keep tabs on AG Global,
bunkered up inside a building.
And this is where we're seeing up in the kill feed,
because Nemesis are down to what looks to be a solo.
It's just sacred hiding behind these knockdowns.
It's Elite moving up with a 3P up Reject up on the high ground.
And the other to be careful as Reject actually may allow Team Nemesis to try to survive until that very moment.
They pick that up, do not allow Reject to take that KP away from them.
Team Nemesis now get eliminated in AG involved with Team Vision who move up from the low ground into this building.
Niazo's full, Higuar is on the ground and Yanya right there.
Thanks to Sparrow giving us the information, tracking him where he's going.
AG Global eliminated Panic, dealing the finishing blows.
And that's what Team Liquid, looking at how that fight was going.
They wanted a time of three people.
Vision had time that themselves really well with the way
that they took over the building off from away through to AG,
and Liquid took that KP.
A team that's in contention for 50 points.
Rather silent here is Team RRQ all the way in the north,
two teams north of Team Liquid.
For the Falcons, however, the south side
It is going to be kind of difficult with SAUL and Sentinels on the horizon,
but through the void passage we go, what does that look like?
But I wanted to see the north and here we are.
And trying to control the bottom side of this bridge is our RQ and our teams
who've been bragging out, see the opportunity, oh my goodness!
Jelly!
Jelly sliding in for Zeddy as our RQ get eliminated.
Our top heavy teams in some trouble by his vision.
RQ won't be able to boost themselves up.
This actually opens the gates for Team Vision, S.C.M. Liquid, calling their way up.
Zack, by the way, picking up the K.P. onto Hocky's, 11 squads left.
Zack is dragging out, he finished us off.
Hocky's, we heard the interview, you hear the confidence,
and now they're gonna be able to take this boy Netsha's back.
Still a lot of heavy hitters in the north as we lose Unlimit.
Please remember, S.A.U.L. and Sentinels are still in circle,
and everyone's buying to get there.
Vision are currently at 40 points total. They need 50 points to be at match points as reject do get eliminated
Sentinels have been forming as well
Not soon being on the mad Maggie does find Zayma playing off the low ground here as a lead looking to get this resume
Vision has been harassing these teams in their ladder side when you have alliance also in the vicinity
They are some shooters. We know that so Loder and Zach are going to have their jobs cut out for them
They are the furthest out.
We do have a Maggie ball.
We do have Zach.
The with your alter down movement is going to be tough.
Carter needs to be reds here.
The reset, critical to their games.
All the, that was so scary right there.
Zach was also in the middle of healing,
but it's fine.
He manages to get away right behind Zach
while he pops the shield battery.
Elite, do a fully reset while Alliance
are looking down onto vision.
Falcons lose out on their mad magina force to play things out as a duo
Lookie seep again. He's really set with us the right you all as a lead see vision
The baby it's up to him
But there's too many people looking down as vision are the next to go and a leak it to see another day and they
Reset
They've reset alliance doesn't drop down and go for it instead. It's team liquid
Reset but not for very long right they attempted it here as zero moves up takes up

But Team Liquid has to stay healthy in this engagement, and here comes Zeddy!
Zeddy now engaging against Team Liquid with a life here as a duo from the other side.
They get taken out, and so do Zeddy. Last five squads now, as Falcons are still in this lobby.
You're winners of match three. You're Titans climbing the leaderboard. However, they're just a duo.
And Game and Gladiators likely recognize this, but with Blast being caught out by Blaser from Sentinels.

Alliance, we've seen this before, staying alive, waiting for the 3v3 of Settinels and S8UO with Settinels having the advantage in terms of their positioning on that slight high ground legacy pinging on where to rotate.
Leading the drill though, and the pressure would favor now in his hand still, peppering in also the classic barrels to at least give him the space.
Respawn for Alliance of Fall Reset!
Welcome back, Akuma Nalaki!
Now with the 3D3V3, here comes the Nagi Bomb!
And despite getting them back in, this cause is Kato!
Could Sentinels win?
Sentinels not move up, this is up for Sentinels!
It's the Alliance who still got the KB, but it is Sentinels!
Who are King of the Hill and King of E-District for game number four!
Sentinels with their first win of the year 6 ALG at Split 1 playoffs!
Better like the number boys, this is what matters.
You lock it in on match point finals.
That was nasty for Loggies.
The fact that he pulled off that res, the fact that they still won that fight against S8UL
was unmatched, but it was set in those 9KP to take game number four.
They held that side of zone for so long we saw their names lining up the guilty two.
And that was with them going out first in our previous game.
Let's not forget what happened on a LAPIS and now turn things around to get the win.
That was a good game from them, right? When you start to think about it, they started in Canal Faza.
We're going to the north. It's such a quick rotate for them. They're allowing themselves to set up in God's but,
but not only that, they defend all of the sieges towards their building.
They are our ALGS champs from Sapporo, guys.
There's a reason they are this dang good.
And you've got to give it to S8UL, right?
Sure, third place in that match.
But what they did, they had the costick ult.
They were poised on resources and abilities
for that end game fight.
But a lion's hack is getting that reset
as you kind of dive back to our top five.
This is where you see Falcons swing the duo of Gigi
and that hack is pushed as they're coming down.
Because that's what he has to do.
They see the res go up, they're going to jump on it.
So hack is goes up to put the pressure on them first.
The bait is insane.
I mean, the fact that they even lost that fight,
allowing Monsoon to wrap right behind the man
to take the win.
I mean, we'll take that any day.
SAQL, they were hungry.
They wanted to dive onto the res.
Hockey says, coming to me real quick to get second place.
and Sentinels just clean up on aisle three.
And we even saw Link a few times get a kid.
Now, as he's usually known for,
to kind of kick start this momentum for them on E district.
You love the energy in the crowd.
You love the Alliance, by the way,
slide through it's a second place spot for game number four.
And again, we also have to mention
that it is the back to back E district.
That's right, we're going back.
Honestly, it's kind of crazy.
The Sentinels literally throw one mad Maggie ball
seven bullets and clean up that fight.
They're like, I will take these 12 placement points.
Let's see how many kills we got.
Nine kills, a 21 point game.
Do you know how good that is to get you back into it, right?
And for Zac, who was saying, like,
if we're still going to game nine, I made a mistake.
They just needed 12 points.
We got half of that.
We got six.
They're getting close though.
They are.
They're incredibly close.
Alliance there with an 11 point game.
If that is kind of our floor,
are done for a game going into the top three as a solo and bringing everyone back.
So unfortunately we got two kills from that but it's team Nemesis who started in City Hall.
Yes they went out in 14th but if you're going out in 14th with seven kills from your building
that just goes to show you how good you were defending everyone that was full sending you.
It's just not quite enough. We need a 20 point and we need a bang.
And even trying to take a safer rotation right until we saw this collapsible fight taking a look
at some of these highlights of the endgame here with Team Liquid now having to go from the under part of the bridge
I really do like this zone pool too because then you have to mention Sentos who were clearing their back end of the
P.O.Y. that they have been in and Zeddy too making a mention in these last five squads
Waltia got him down earlier, but with the mad maggies in this lobby tiff it was a bloodbath with that drill
We won't be seeing her anymore
Not no one with the warden as I like to call her and S8UL
They want the shiny object of the res before their eyes before sentinels
It was with a wrecking ball and a nice strike to take that game with Mad Maggie gone
Is that mean did he come in out? Oh, yeah, 100%
We don't see our givey boy, but there it is yet again that end win for sentinels
dominating the fashion
Timing it to perfection
Guys, we're literally just getting started here at the year six ALGS split one playoffs at EWC and I could not be more excited
I know right. I mean the fact that we are going on to game number five after hearing our interviews after hearing how confident
Our IGLs are feeling but now you take a look at Sentos turning things around and after getting that when that went alone
Rob them up to those 21 little points with the lines coming in second place that could make a difference
We heard it from lace to as s8 you well kind of starting off slow ramping up here
They didn't get that second place spot or that first place finish
But it was the 9kp that they at least got in their pocket and that is a big deal for them, right?
Because sometimes the SAUL, yes, they can net themselves the win
But maybe it doesn't have enough kills to go alongside it
So if you're getting the seven placement points and nine kills a 15-point wait, hold on timeout. We pause for this
Yeah, you're nasty like it's back to the nasty we love that for overall rankings guys remember the key number is 50
That is what we want teams that are 12 points away
I'm looking at the apex out squads of wolves e-sports and team our RQ team vision you guys heard it
Exacted something wrong if we go to nine games. Well blame him I guess
Well, you know what's also scary too is with wolves and RQ going out a little early in that previous game
The fact that there are 38 points nonetheless a few points away from overtaking vision in this first-place spot
We can easily welcome what three teams here at match point depending on how this rolls out for game number five
I would win how many games last year Vicky you were there 13
It was crazy survival stage, but you know what was not my finals my favorite thing is one more game
It is we got some more apex on the horizon
I mean this is the fact that you can see the Craver shots
That's moving one deal will absolutely take that as we see a nice little flyby of our pros and what this means
and how these teams are now able to turn things around.
Maybe this will start for some of these teams,
but with the back-to-back on E-District,
it sets the likes of even Sentinels
to take this momentum and roll into game five with it.
Ooh, I'm ready to see it.
And we got the Wolves fans.
That's actually a such a gnarly fan right there.
Like, how cute is that?
It looks so fluffy.
But the Wolves fans, they have the most intricate things.
If you look behind, like, where our studio desk is over there,
did you see, like, the anime-inspired Wolves fans?
Fans, did they ever go monsoon, Riley?
Yeah!
That's, hey, that's actually sick.
I love the fans,
and I love the signs in the crowd, guys.
Get ready, because we got E-District
on the other side here.
Don't go anywhere, we'll be right back.
I
to the AGS split. What play
of here? Esports World Cup
2026 and we are closing in on
our first team hitting match
point. The match point finals
has been fantastic so far with
those three gentlemen on your
screen. Sentinels getting their
first win things are starting to
hot up here. You know, Sen's
was one of the best performing
of stands points have come from this map as well. So I'm not surprised that they finally put that win on the board and put themselves up there.
Interesting though, this is the team that I want to focus on. This team right here, with Apex Cell, criminally, and I am taking the blame for this as much as anyone
under-spoken about. One of the most consistent teams in the Apex Legends Global Series, and when we talk about E-District Damage is where we're going back to now,
some of the most standout statistics you could possibly ask for.
You saw what they were able to do, getting into that final circle, putting points on the board.
They are the best e-district team that we have in this tournament, averaging 12 points per game.
Again, 50% of their points have come from e-district as well.
So SAUL will definitely be a focus going into this next one, as will Elite Esports and Reject.
Two more teams that have been able to put on a lot of points on this map.
Let's see who continues their form or if someone is going to jump up
and make themselves known as we head back to e-district now for match number five.
the match point finals continues.
We are so close now for one of these teams
crossing that match point threshold,
but it is still not guaranteed.
Vision, nine points away from getting their walls.
12, RRQ, 12 as well.
If those three teams exit early,
and similarly to what we've seen so far,
some of these lower scoring teams finding points,
finding wins, maybe we go all the way into further
without teams getting to match point threshold.
It always feels like when we're close,
you're like, oh, it has to be this game.
and then another game. And then
another game, even teams on 49
points. Sentials being one of
them. Back in Sapporo in
January could not get that single
solitary point they needed to get
over that match point threshold.
However, it didn't end up too bad
percent. We're not to win the
whole thing. What a booster this
is for Sentials chances now as
they close in on halfway to
match point threshold. Well, you
wanted to see different zones.
the ball. Yeah, second place
will not mistaken for alliance
in that game as well. Somehow
out of the drop ship. You saw
the POV of Aku. No, Mags. No
problem. He was hitting every
bullet and then unlucky clean up
the pieces denying s eight UL
their chance to win that game
and opening the door for
sentinels to close out the
game. And now they're going to
the game. And it's not
the only team that's going to
be able to win this. Denying s
eight UL their chance to win
that game and opening the door
for sentials to close out by
conduct is looking pretty, I
would say spicy when it comes
to where you want to be
positioning yourself, but a lot
of teams actually heading to
the street market side here. We
do see those deep by the pools,
but I wonder if some teams are
thinking that maybe they want to
hit a little bit more info see
where everyone else is. The
amount of teams that kind of
to go away from their POI and as you mentioned, maybe to build up that Evo, just get a little
bit of extra something. They dropped at Viaduct. They are currently hounding Alliance, by the
way, and kind of shooing Alliance away, saying we don't want you to take this Western side
away from us. So Alliance have respected them, backed off a little bit, but enter force 36,
they are currently relentless with their push.
Yeah, just looking at compositions is actually an interesting conversation to have because
now with Maggie being banned, we did have that joint 20 pick aside, by the way. We'll get
that's that the second because Kelly from Zeddy is fighting some walls players in front of him.
This is down in the southern side of the zone and this is very close to where the end game will be taking place.
And it looks like a little bit of an engagement ends with no harm, no foul for either side. Everyone's
still healthy for now. We're going back to composition. The fact that Maggie has been banned,
now we are starting to see Gibraltar, Newcastle and the baby comp start to come through. The counters
are there that were previously available so teams might be looking to play this one a little bit
slow up build up to purple, get those purple perks,
and then make the most of the composition.
The newer viewers' baby comp has been defined
as Gibraltar, Newcastle, and Valkyrie,
because Valkyrie kind of carries the two through the air
and slams to the ground, or because babies could play it.
You judge, it's up to you.
It's the second one.
We are going to see Gibraltar band in this game
because we do have 15, so going into match six,
there will not be a Gibraltar,
and the full baby top will not be available.
As up into the sky, there's a charge rifle available for Deeds.
He's one of the best new castles in the game, and I feel very, very confident in that statement.
Very well adept at anchoring the team.
Making sure that he's in position to drag those teammates up when they need to.
Now, speaking of dragging teammates up, Falcon's mind needs to do that right now,
because the breach charge from Jelly is going to take down Waltsie,
who's going to be playing Fuse. Interesting composition actually, who Falcons in this game.
this game. Altar, Catalyst, and
fuse. Now, Jelly has just found
himself down. He starts his job
breaking back up as a beautiful
skylight coming from guilt. Double
goes down as well just to protect
themselves. Breach charge goes out
and said he's going to opt to a
back away from this one, probably
an intelligent one considering
the position that Falcons find
themselves in and Falcons just
have that advantage on the
damage they've been able to
output at the moment, but you
mentioned it. I love this
composition. I think Catalyst is
going to be integral the further
uses the counter comp you could say, or the counter pick to a lot of the Gibralters that we're seeing.
And also the new cartons.
Finally, couple of these proper clusters behind those mobile shields certainly does make you uncomfortable.
You are running that legend.
So Falcons choosing to try and play against what they expected to see in this lobby with some counters.
Unlimit, they're being very aggressive.
Look at this competition.
Straping Flame is going to be trapped inside of that room with nowhere to go.
Easy Flash has just been taken down as well by Stooby.
We're in an accused scow, also was it? And Axel, I believe if I'm not mistaken.
That says we're going to play one way.
It's never too much fun that Fidget Brault is the last one alive, usually,
but ever since the changes where he can run a little bit quicker now,
he's not as bad even though the hitbox is still pretty annoying.
They added some fast twitch fibers to this man, I'm convinced of it.
But Pryce has been playing excellent and RRQ'd very much deserve their position in third place,
place, but no elimination suddenly allows everyone else in the lobby to start to play catch up now. I mentioned elite
Esports. We saw how incredible they were through the group stages. This was the map where they found so many points. They dominated
so many games and they need to find more here to put themselves in contention of getting to match point threshold. 20 points on the board
so far. It's okay. It's decent enough. Little on the pack. But like you said, the fact that this is the last time we'll see
e-district for quite some time as we snake back through our map selection.
Gotta make the most of the opportunity where you've had those successes.
Needless to say, Majama's not the greatest of starts for them.
18th position overall at the moment.
Just the 11 points on the board, and most of those came from Game 1.
They did, but they are another one of those teams that could potentially take a win here, by the way.
Is Cricy still being hunted down?
Oh, Cricy.
You ever know?
I think in a match we're finals
lobby with the talent on display
a one P three that situation
unlikely. No dude. He's going to
be trying to back up dude on
problem whatsoever. It's chased
down by Zeddy Esports. As they
will find those skills that is
completely isolated deep in zone
at the moment, Zeddy, as you can
see in the bottom right hand
side of your screen, they're just
outside of state in whether
Zeddy's going there. We are
pulling down towards the south
down towards the back of Viaduct
or is expecting to see teams
team. They've been able to
see teams start to converge
upon one team who's taking their
time, though, is the team who
came second place in the previous
game, and that's going to be a
light on that in order to collect
some info. Yeah, they were at
street market and they moved
all the way around the west hit
the north and they've been they
were bullied away initially by
into force 36 and now they've
been able to scar for themselves
to the north north. They will
also be playing the baby company
were mentioning earlier. They
have the Valkyrie available. I
think that we've learned a lesson
through group stages. Some of
because they weren't able to capitalise on the composition they are running, so instead you go, you get your revos up, you get as much weapons and utility, and then you slam down into zone later and destroy one of these teams who is not quite as built up as you are.
Yeah, I mean, if you can get that Skyward dive up to purple, get that perk where you're supersonic into the skies, and also get the triple defensive bombardment, which I think really is the key to damage output for a lot of these teams in the endgame.
in the endgame. It's worth just taking that counter rotate away from zone to collect that
Evo to make sure that that composition is as powerful as it can be.
We briefly checked in with team vision, our lobby leaders at the moment. Nine points required.
Could they be the first squad to reach the match point threshold? Zach did call them
in six. So they have to do it right here right now. In the kill feed, Yanya's just gone down
to the ring. So AG are also taking their sweet time. It looks like he's been picked back up
as Team Liquid going for a very interesting rotation on the south here. They're actually so far off the map.
They weren't even on my feed, but they can now just sneak in behind enemy lines.
Yeah, full wrap towards the southern side here, and this backside of Viaduct is going to be very,
very precious to a lot of teams. This is where the zone usually pulls away from the main kind of crane
structure that makes up the PLI. So sneaking your way to that southern side is going to be very,
very effective if they can survive towards that endgame. The team who's very close to match point, Vision.
It's going to be the Bradford team liquid they weren't expecting.
That's cost them crazy cost.
Yeah, Team Liquid have just really created a lot of uncertainty here on the south.
A few of the teams started getting involved in this fight.
Thinking maybe we could pick up some KP, maybe we could take advantage of it.
A couple of teams being weak, and Wolves are going to really have to try and battle back
to get up to a full three here with one being down.
Two will at least be okay.
There's NIP, also in the area, and also noticing Team Liquid.
Oh, that's GK?
Arriving, and this is what happens in this game.
We have as many Valkyries, everyone's going to start to arrive in.
One team who are very proficient when it comes to the baby comp is going to be GK.
They ran it for so much of the split of early.
Team Liquid decided that they don't feel comfortable.
Wow. They're going to go up into the skies here.
And they have managed to get up to full purple,
so they're going to have all perks available.
They're going back.
And don't find this too much.
I think it was just a little bit too busy for them.
I think the actions of the teams around them,
who were just being kind of a little bit too aggressive for their liking,
They want to re-enter when the space is a little bit clearer, or maybe those two teams do start to engage with each other.
I mean, during the toilet break, I heard Zero shout at one of the other teams, why are you inching me for?
Doesn't sound like Zero.
And he probably feels like they would be a little bit vulnerable to some aggression.
So liquid reset, Falcons also on the southwest, Wolves still struggling at the moment.
Ooh, it's going to be down to just Crazy Kong.
And it was GK who have wedged themselves between these teams who are causing a real problem for Wolves right now.
So you look at the kill feed, Alliance and Nemesis having a little bit of a scrap.
Ninjas in pyjamas inside the zone will be safe for quite some time.
Also you can see S8UL picking up and knock on to Mike from Zeta Division.
Crazy gun by the way.
He's got a Moby, just need to find the gap, thread the needle.
He's got both of the banners.
He's got himself a catwalk.
Oh, no!
He might have forgotten that there's 19 other squads available.
That would have been very, very impressive to get that done.
Maybe not right now.
Four fun that aren't going to allow that one, perhaps.
And he's spent the dark fair, perhaps?
He's got six of fighting.
They've just been taken down by GK.
Oh!
the rest of the team back in.
He was happy to sacrifice himself.
Well, now we have lost three teams and two of those teams were in second and third.
It opens the door for vision to take a little bit of a lead here as we check back in with
sentinels.
That's a kid now.
Wow.
They're not my chance of getting back through the portal that time,
especially with Sheila staring at you now.
Alliance on your screen.
Two Amir.
Power houses.
Close enough that they can smell each other,
and some hellhackers has found himself a grave already in this game.
Master Finney's hands as well.
The fuse is on low.
The mother load is burning.
They have to play behind the new castle wall here.
Look for this red.
Bottle's going to go down.
Lucky we'll be able to drag Acu back to his feet. So should be okay
Lee just waiting in it and as soon as that bubble goes down these frag grenades are gonna hurt. We've got frags
He's got arc stars. He's got everything you could want here, but there is still other teams in the area
Do we need to take it? It cannot capitalise
Yes, you get damage but actually finds one on to Acu so that they does its job
but with Acu still alive
Still a chance for Alliance to survive it. You can see that Lee are desperate to clear this to finish it off
Everybody is firing down and now they bubble forward. Akku has to hold the line, but all of the lines just got up.
They actually knocked unlucky with the Thunder, no by the way. Hakus gets hit down by Tenz,
and a line to just being too focused, and they'll fall in 17th place. That's another team in the top 10 that's gone down.
And this is how match point finals go sometimes. Just when you think teams are starting to take a lead,
those that have been struggling start to pick up the pace.
Once a mother load coming in for vision here, they want to try and push this. Remember, they only need 9!
A loader through the fire and the flames of the mother load!
Jumps forward and deletes Watsy.
Just like that, they only need 8 and a placement point on the horizon if they get into the top 15 as well.
Now, there's a really big fight as well.
You wouldn't see this as a good job with this.
Rest of the falcon is to retreat through avoid nexus because this endgame position will be huge.
You can see where the zone is going to be pulling in 30 seconds time.
And if vision can clear this side and find a place to play,
the eight points they now need becomes a very, very viable option.
Yeah, Falcons had to be a focus for them,
because Falcons were going to hold them out.
On the other side of Falcons is Team Liquid, by the way.
Suddenly, we're starting to see Hal and Zera getting to these end games,
which is quite a decent concern for some of these other squads.
NIP still very much a feature in this one as well,
as you've just seen Gil get finished by Yanya.
So it's just down to the CEO himself here.
And sadly, Falcons will fall in 16th.
So now we will have 15 teams.
One more placement point for Vision.
They need seven.
You can see the exhale from Halberd.
I think he knew what his fate was about to be.
But for Vision, they're gonna be safe on this bridge.
Next to them is gonna be AG Global.
That's where the focus of attention
is gonna be for Vision for now.
You can see that Zach is just kind of
trying to wrap behind Vision.
Oh, it's AG Global.
excuse me, AG, and see if he can force them away.
If they can deny them stepping towards this side of the zone,
then their focus can just be straight ahead to the north.
Big Muffin, gotta be careful here.
Knuckle cluster goes in.
Card takes a little bit of damage as the Zac on the cross here,
but it does force the bubble.
MotherLode will follow our vision.
Plain tight.
Make sure nobody oversteps and gives that first knuckle one.
This is a huge call from Vision to try and force Liquid away, and they've done exactly that, they've claimed it.
Liquid say, actually, we'd rather stay alive, we need points as well.
Live reaction of Hal complaining to his teammates, not really too surprised with that one.
But Vision have now been able to take one of the better positions on the map.
Rejector arriving as well where the Skyward dive, and actually, Rejector arrived to the west.
They've become a threat here.
They just landed on their height.
So, Reject on the height now, Vision have to play bunker down, they cannot pick, they cannot take the fight with Liquid.
All of a sudden, vision under pressure but still safe in this zone. 15 squads to alive by the way.
If you see the mini-map, every single team seems to be stacked inside the main structure of the POI.
And has to leave. This is going to be an absolute battle on the northern side.
Vision under a lot of pressure. I'll see if taken prime position.
One more potential point. Floor of vision by the way. Lowage has got enough of a blink, sir.
If he gets finished, that's going to be the real question though. It's now Team Liquid. Maybe he gets sent vision a weekend.
It's a great answer back though to a down on the side of vision and Carter has to stay alive
All the charge I thought he's gonna get him finished off though
Excuse me. It was actually I think a shot from distance
You need an a breach charge that's hoping down vision Carter left on his own
Legacy ports back through zero set peekaboo vision down no map went for them as we turn now to liquid
It's been forced by SAUL!
It's a brave fight from Liquid, but this could be a huge revive for them as well.
Bubble was down, they get back into a three, now he needs Sikes to get that bat off as Team Liquid will hold.
Oh, the double bubble!
Huge bubble!
A Ripper tries to poke from R.C. up on that high ground, using the bat to drop down, deal that damage, and pop back up.
But the main story here for Liquid is they have reset. They have got healthy, and they will be able to participate in this endgame.
Now Sentinels are looking for a back-to-back.
Two shots left in the Crabber, make it three.
My maths still not on point, hopefully Bliggs's Crabber will be.
Still somehow, 13 squads alive in this final circle, by the way.
The most we've had so far, it seems, is for fun under a lot of pressure.
And one of the key factors here, first, second and third are out of this lobby.
We still may not see a de-reach match point, depending on who takes this victory here.
Nemesis go down.
And it might be GG next.
Of course they come very, very close to them.
Void Passengers coming through from for fun.
The trying team they can pick on the damage.
GG have to force that bubble.
They have to expend the bubble.
And they're going to be vulnerable when that goes down.
Gibraltar's are very much the main players in this final circle.
Spain has fallen, our ramps are plenty I'm sure.
GK's still alive, they've still been able to use
this little looking granny to stay in a successful position.
NIP, and GK is now a 2v2.
In fact, it's gonna be GK who win that one.
Nijit and Bajamas are dead.
GK's still alive by the way,
and a combination of GK and Elite will delete for fun.
It's a mea on a mea on a mea,
as we now jump back to the America.
Zeddy on your screen right now.
Half the lobby has been eliminated.
10 squads remain.
An opportunity for Zeddy, maybe.
They're at 37 points.
A win here.
Major send them over that map point threshold.
And the position they hold could be a perfect one.
It is another KP that goes in their favor.
As you can see how close these teams are now
for reaching match point.
Liquid, Zen, and Zeddy is all eyes on.
Can you do it?
Here on E-District.
Zed division, bank center of zone
behind a Newcastle wall. Sentinels getting pressured by elite esports as well inside
of their little hut they call home. GG now to play onto GG, A-Hot. Let's go get the
clip. Zane sends in the mother-load. Zone is closing, GK down to one as Blast will find
another in the feed. You can also see Zeddy doing some damage onto AG on the low ground.
GK will reset.
This is going to be one of the most difficult end zones you've ever seen to stay alive.
It's all down to bubbles, castle walls.
Maybe just maybe there's something you can throw in, there's ramparts there in the lobby.
Don't forget a catalyst there with a dark veil as well.
And Elstar will certainly help.
Elite Esports will be out next.
Zeddy looking to punish RC behind this wall, GKE sports, they'll be out the lobby next, the solo will go.
RC now versus Zeddy. Zeddy are trying to send this on the high ground. Rejected out. Gaming glad it is, also outwards to our top 5.
Zeddy find themselves 7 points away now from the threshold, but Jellies just gone down. They're being bombarded, but another bubble comes out.
They should be able to get up and the zone's creeping in, you've got to move.
Well, there's needs to be a job again on Newcastle members down in front of them all of a sudden the game in Zeddy's liquid or fall
Everybody is in front of them. Oh, but that's the end of the vision
There's the end of the vision, Zeddy will fall
That's in the protector pack
But it's Zeddy's vision
Who come through with the win for A-Pack Nor
You go online, could we see?
See, the man who had been chasing that victory for what feels like forever, as no team crosses
the match point threshold here in match five.
It has been the tightest ARGS tournament we've had in quite some time.
Zeddy touching distance, Sen touching distance, but neither were able to cross.
And it is Zeddy Division again, time and time again this tournament.
They just creep out of nowhere and slam a win on the board and put themselves in contention
They just managed to avoid the attention of the majority of the lobby
They were playing down in a little corner on the low ground
Everybody else was just a step above them in each other's eyesight
It allowed them to go unnoticed for long enough that when the final moment came they just had to pull the trigger
Zeta Division put 22 points on the board from that game, 10 kills, which is the same number
Sentinels also found, 10 points for Sen, which actually puts them only five away now from
that match point threshold. Our reigning world champions trying to go back to back with land
victories, which is not something many teams have been able to achieve. You talk about the
greats, you talk about the dynasties that we've had in this competition, the likes of
to the top. The likes of TSN.
Could Sentinels be another name
added to that list? Questions
that will all be answered at the
end of today. One team list that
trophy, but the fact that we
still do not have a single
solitary team on 50 points.
Means we get some more apex and
Here's your match results to take us through said he also given themselves a fantastic chance with the 12 points
They put on the board
They are actually the closest to match point threshold as we'll see later with the series results
Liquid with a big 12 points through kills alone
The way they were able to hold the southwest side of that zone was perfect
Then some teams still struggling a little bit down towards the lower half of the leaderboard
Big ones would be ninjas in pajamas for example our number one team coming out of the Americas region during split one pro league
are in 19th place. Enter force 36, are in 20th place at the moment. They just haven't been able to get going.
Well, here is that end game for the POV. Momentarily, I'll say a division.
You can see the carnage, the defensive performance, raining down from the sky, nades, bubbles.
It is absolute chaos inside of that final moment. You can see fun at the end there.
Comes down. I think you might actually die to zone. I think the last player actually
Valkyrie up into the air at that point, and avoided all the gunfire.
You were quite right when you pointed it out,
and they just were able to get away from everyone else,
which sometimes as a Valkyrie, that is your job.
You talk about those final circles, you talk about Gibraltar getting the bubbles down,
Lucas using the shield.
As a Valkyrie, it is survival of the fittest.
Well, survive they did, and as the games keep rolling...
Well, we have to wonder, is someone going to hit match point in a few moments' time?
the AOGS split one playoffs here at EWC. We'll continue.
And we got a talk, okay, because it was a little bit of a slow start, but we finally got that first win in there.
It is. For us, the first game was a little bit of a... I would say like a Zola's far, but still, we could manage to go into a good spot.
We had a little bit of bad luck, because one team was playing Fuse, which is very uncommon.
We had only two teams playing Fuse, and because of that, Fuse ulted from us from the far, and we couldn't really take a fight with Zeta.
Taking fight with Zeta was a pretty big huge game. Zeta had like a 13 point game
It could have been ours if we weren't like getting let's say killed by Nemesis with the two souls on fire. Second game we got it back
Again, it was like review of the zone for us when we considered it but the last one we get back zone
They didn't pull to summer for some reasons again
But we came back to a good spot was a good zone call from Hal was a really good composure from everyone
Everyone did his job perfectly
We watched angle perfectly, there's no mistakes, we moved step by step, getting kills, trying
to third party and when we realized that Liquid is the biggest danger in that win, we were
on the right side and we tried actually to pressure them, we pushed them into state and
we had a win.
I mean, obviously coming to this tournament big expectations of Falcons as well, right?
Not only in Apex but across the entire event.
So talk to me a little bit about what that pressure kind of has been like for the team.
And the pressure is because the will of winning EWC for FXT, especially for example Han, his first EWC win.
Especially now coming back to IGL, first really EWC as an IGL.
Gil wants to win his first LAN and it's an EWC, it's good for the Orcs, because the Orcs support us in everything.
We want to give them back something, and this is the win of EWC because that's what they want.
And that's what we want, even all of us, because none of us want EWC.
There is a big pressure, but everyone is confident, everyone is like ready for that win and we
hopefully will get in the next game and get the consistency back now and that game was
what we needed actually.
You've definitely got the ball rolling now so we're going to see how the rest of the
games go.
Thank you so much for chatting with us.
Hopefully, I think next game I'm going to say 10-12 points, the next one, another maybe
12 points and then we will be just like a good game and then game 8 we close the game
I think.
Game 8 Falcons.
I want to talk about the
P. O. I dropped here as we
change back over now to Olympus
with snake our way back. You
make it in this one down. Well,
you look at those numbers and
those numbers represent the pick
order for the P. O. I draft. You
see in the 60s. You see the
70s 24 there of Thomas
University from team vision.
Wonder why that is also the
13 from Alliance for Gardens.
And again, I wonder why that
for gardens. And again, I wonder why that is. Recency bias is why it is, because these
teams have seen so many similar zones on this map that they've just said, look, if it's
going to keep going this way, why not? But do you know what happened the first time we
had a leg boost? We had a different zone.
We did not go there. And the numbers, at some point, you had to, you felt had to really
start stacking up against those Eastern pools. This is how we're looking right now, by the
way. Remember, 50 points is the magic number. You hit that, you match point eligible. Zeddy
and then we're going to have
to win the match. And as a
reminder, once you reach the
match point threshold, you then
still have to win match
afterwards. That's why sometimes
we just keep going. It is not as
simple as crossing 50 and then
winning it very rarely happens
actually. It sometimes takes
teams three, four, even five
matches to find it after we've
had the chance to win the
match. And as a reminder, once
matches to find it after we've had one team cross that threshold.
Yes, almost like the curse of match point down.
We've talked about it a million times before.
You hit it first, doesn't really mean too much all of the time.
It does not.
But maybe some of the teams who are going to be closely contested
in terms of Olympus and finding points, elite esports.
Again, they have been our best performing Olympus team,
averaging 17.7 points per game.
If they can find that kind of number,
then they would put themselves in contention with the lobby leaders as well.
Nemesis and Data Division two more teams that have really enjoyed Olympus here. So we'll have to see a are we going to Somers University and
B
Who's gonna pick up those points? What do we think Paris someone hit match point in this game?
We're not sure they don't want it. They want more Apex. I get it. I understand. Sounds like a no
Which I'm all for because I just want to do more Apex action as we jump into Olympus now then
Remember Zeddy Esports is gonna be the team and it's gonna be closest to the match point threshold
But in terms of legend compositions, we're going to be changing everything.
Nojapralta is going to be available now.
You're still going to see a lot of Valkyrie, a lot of Newcastle, I'm sure.
But Kansejtydivision, find another win.
Or, to be honest, just 10 points is all they need.
They don't even need the win here to cross that threshold.
There's a lot of teams who don't need a lot of points whatsoever.
They're in the top right-hand side of your screen.
You can see what is required.
Now, this is where things get interested as well,
because what we've essentially seen for the first five matches
is his team sign to accrue points by winning games, winning team fight. Classic Apex Legends.
Now when you're in a position where you only need four, you're like, we see one team in front of us.
Do we go for the fight? Do we just go for a cheeky in? Do we try and see if we can get our job done
nice and quickly? Or do we play the classic way, try and get extra points, try and get max points,
and not only get over match point into that threshold, but also stop everyone else getting there.
It'll be a lot of everyone. It is not going to be so much university. Fantastic. We fixed the
the servers now. I'll just I'll just clap. By the way, servers one broken, it was just very unlikely that it happened. Now GK are going to be moving quickly as
off various different teams here. This is pretty much dead central. A lot of teams have been able to move extremely quickly to zone. So we might see a couple of early
engagements as LIP just about avoid that one in Falcons taking on GG at the moment. It could be from distance though. Yeah, this is over at
to terminal, the looks of things.
Zeddy still need those four points.
Aussie actually gets the finish as well.
By the way, Neato's also getting involved.
He looks like terminal is pretty busy.
By the way, so many teams already in zone,
but there's not a lot of places to play.
This is gonna be a very open end game.
AG decide that blast time is up.
Yeah, when AG decide to push,
you don't really have much chance of retreating.
And this is always the worst game to be eliminated.
When teams are just on the cusp of the match point threshold and you sit there thinking,
Yeah, maybe we're going to be done next game here and you don't have any chance to actually try and impact it yourselves through points.
Big moment for Zayac Division in that previous game.
And now they only need 10.
They say only.
Stay hydrated everyone.
The 10 points, like we say, that's a good game in APA slices. That's not easy in these kind of lobbies to recruit.
And Zayac Division now will look for the fight potentially inside of the building.
Scary moment though, because there's still white armor.
I mean, we're getting to that stage of the tournament where every fight is pretty terrifying.
You know the impact of it, whether you die or whether you win.
Straight from claims down at the moment, but Easy Flash still up,
and there's going to be the full knock, because Easy Flash goes down.
So it's picy in a similar position left on his own once more, but this time as a rampart.
to be able to do that. How is
hunting with that 30 30
repeater. Two not for him as
I'm extending from that
position we were talking about
in terms of the kind of playing
that balcony, but I was going a
little bit of license here on
altar to try and finish off by
see and finish them off. He does
three Kp for the CEO. R R Q are
eliminated second. And it has
been quite an up and down
tournament for R R Q. Hasn't
finals through an incredible
survival stage. But now at 38
points, they fall here in match
six. So again, they'll have to
sit back, watch and hope not too
many teams cross the match point
pressure because realistically,
one should one thing that
sometimes has let Falcons down a
little bit on you when watching
scrims and watching a few
pro league games. Just taking
their eyes off their back when
the zone is closing behind them.
They have to worry about a few
things when it comes to that
GK engaging with each other. GK just getting wiped pretty comfortably.
Before FOM will be able to reset, but FAKKINZ, like I said, little bit of that Achilles heel
has been just teams wrapping behind them late. They're going to have a couple of teams potentially
do that, and of course they actually left, but they still have team vision, they still have
reject on that southern side to worry about. This is also an interesting point in the tournament
where some of the lower teams start to play a little bit more aggressive. They take a few more
risks, they take a few more fights, they perhaps wouldn't. That can be very frustrating to the
the middle of the pack, and he's trying to play a little bit more zone central, avoiding
said risks and trying to survive to put those points on the board. And that dynamic can
be a very frustrating one if you're on the receiving end of one of these pushes. One
of those teams who do need points, NIP. Again, a difficult tournament for them, but they'll
be delighted they at least find themselves in the match point finals. Will they come
to life here today, or are we going to see them just fall off a little bit in these final
matches?
a win puts them right up there.
That's the dance. Yeah, it really, you know, which so early, it feels like in this match point finals.
The one win can really put you back in contention.
Seven points, the difference between being match point eligible for vision and having to watch another game
stick to their fingers here, though.
And the only reason why it feels the earliest because no one's on match point yet.
How many times have we been in match six with five?
Sometimes seven teams.
I just really didn't want to say six, seven, by the way, five or seven teams find themselves on match point
And it feels like you've got so much to do to catch up because no one's there
It does just give you that little bit of extra on the clock forever saying five to seven five to seven five to seven
It's the safe spot six has been forgotten
Well team liquid down on the low ground now
Playing the bunker position underneath the Lions who are playing this height
Alliance will be safe with quite some time up there, but it's about what you do after that
It's gonna be interesting for a lot of these teams a couple of referees in the lobby one team that does have it is alliance
So their options are pretty vast when it comes to how they want to actually approach the end game here RC
Under fire here from elite eastwards who are holding them out
Elite esports have not necessarily found the same form that we saw from them in the group stages
But again, they do still have time
And it is their best map that we're seeing in Olympus as RC are forced back into the zone
Elite esports were able to
Really apply so much pressure and it's going to be an uncomfortable rotate for RC now
a little further south. Center
was a very much set up shop by
the way, looking at space. They
currently hold. And then for
fun on the northern side could
potentially pick up quite a bit
of KP of those teams arriving
through the turbine area. Alliance
in liquid may be passing each
other shortly. It just will
sense was portaling out for a
little bit of loot. I think they
would have. Retail is essentially
as quick as you can from the
states. That's their game plan,
right? We saw a tweet from
links last night saying God draft
again because they got all their
I'm going to go off draft again because they got all their central POIs.
I feel like everyone says that.
But it's what works for Sentinels, and now having that race in the composition, they
don't rotate quickly.
It means that all the time it's at the cost of being able to loot efficiently.
So if you see some death boxes, send that wraith portal out and make sure that you're
getting that loot to make your fighting chances a little bit stronger.
Team Liquid on your screens right now, still playing below a lot of the main structures.
I'm going to say Sparrow bang.
You know how good zero is when it comes to Bangalore.
I like the aggressive nature of what that composition can offer.
I'm enjoying seeing the amount of teams that are switching over to
capitalist as well. Vision have done it. Wolves have done it.
Parkers also find themselves on the ground.
I'm going to say Sparrow bang.
I'm going to say Sparrow bang.
I'm going to say Sparrow bang.
I'm going to say Sparrow bang.
I'm going to say Sparrow bang.
I'm going to say Sparrow bang.
They could also find themselves on Catalyst as do Nemesis and NIP.
They know the importance of not just that dark veil, but the piercing spikes can be so detrimental in a final zone as well.
It's just whether you can get there.
And Zeddy Esports, another team that we'll be wanting to get there of course, but they could find themselves on match point threshold just through KP here.
You wipe out one team and get into the top 15, it's dropped up.
Good news for Zeddy is they're not feeling the nerves, as you can see they hit purple on Marvin.
And now Falcons have been watching their back.
Here come Wolves.
Falcons are sending in good damage done initially by them, trying to avoid that last fail.
Hargassou does more good damage, Guild will capitalise.
When's it going to be down?
Guild is making sure that he can protect their side.
Off that wall and now Falcons will send out their own dodgeball to try and clean this up.
the team. They're just going to
make sure that it's not any other
teams that started to literally
an effort. Yeah, I was about to
say vision is starting to approach
and Falcons may be sensing that.
They turn around. They flip it on
the dime and instantly they're
going to force vision away. So
great awareness from team Falcons
there. You said it in some
scrims, maybe weren't watching
their backs enough, but it does
seem like they're a little bit
more locked here in match point
finals. It's a very boring job
before giving that responsibility,
but it's one of the most important
and certainly one that you get
still alive, but only just overflow here for no name parts. No knockdown shields to hide
behind. Worms in sports will be out next. And that's more KP for Sentinels, more points
for Sentinels as they find themselves now only three points away from that mad point
threshold and they are in prime position. Yes, the zone is going to move a little bit
away from them, but where they currently reside, a lot of damage can be done. They have a lot
of sight lines on some of these teams they're going to be moving in. One of those teams
in particular is going to be Elite Esports, two Sentinels West as well. Team Vision also
a fantastic spot for this endgame and to get the points that they need. Now, this is a big moment.
Elite Esports looking to wrap the position of Sentinels. They do have Alta as well in the
composition, which means they can cue through that wall and catch them off guard if they're not
paying attention. Sentinels were pinging it though. They do know Elite Esports are there,
and that's the first job done. We're not going to get caught off guard, but for fun, however.
up. Not looking at selfie for
them. His ability is the portal
through that wall. A little bit of
damage exchange, but Tyler's
actually getting the first one off
the panic. Zero has to retreat.
Can they activate that for
you next? It's in time to drag
panic back. Just about. But
There's a nervy moment for Team Liquid. It does take them out of zone.
And remember, zone is closing in 10 seconds as well.
And for fun, not the only team in the area. Alliance also kind of watching over things.
There's the lay of the land at the top left-hand side of your screen.
Rejector's starting to take a big dive into zone here, by the way.
They've just hit information, it seems.
Team Liquid are back up to a three, so it might have looked a little bit dicey,
but at least they're alive.
Origins have landed in zone and will be safe.
Will they?
Well, I say that and I've just seen in this, that Euryse has gone down to a craver, which I did not take into account.
Akku all gets queued up on.
And the beautiful shots coming through from Stevie means that Alliance's height position has become compromised.
Team Liquid also decided it's their time to go up to the height.
Yeah, this is opening up for Team Liquid again. Great awareness of what's happening around them.
I'm lucky and hack is are gonna be alive. I can press it to fall free here at the unlimited
I'm gonna be the ones you lose out
It's an absolute pile up as unlimited a limit will be taken out of the lobby
And the lights have somehow reset but the armor to survive
It's notable for everyone to see all blue here for alliance on the other side team liquid all in purple
It's great stabilisation from Alliance, but this is where you need to look towards your
fraggers.
Unlucky and Akku.
This is your time to put Alliance on your back and keep them in this tournament.
Liquid's climbing.
Liquid's climbing.
Panic.
Gets good damage done.
And when Scythe's taking down Akku, and Alliance losing Unlucky to an injured in Pajama's
player as well, Team Liquid will seize the high ground here.
And now for themselves, just 9 points away.
Hackett did get away though, so it's not all doom and gloom just yet for the live fans.
Blitzer in the kill feed just finds one by the way.
That's going to be a kill confirmed. That's going to be a point on the board.
And that's going to be sent to those hitting match points.
Could Zeddy be next? They're back up and they're healthy.
There's one more. Zeddy now just two away as Nemesis get eliminated. 12 squats.
Is that legacy? Oh, it could have been a freebie. It would have been a donation.
Legacy has to take that boy passage back up to high and just by the skin of his teeth
Manages to get up by the way blinks on the craper's going absolutely crazy right now
Well, the now the job is for sentinels to take as many points away from the rest of the lobby
And that's exactly what they're doing. They win another fight. They're up to 54. They deny E36
Raining world champions will be the first team to cross the match point threshold
Over to the south side where we see elite taking down how and finishing him off.
Walsh is going to have to pop this medkit.
There's 11 squads find themselves alive here.
Pigeon are just waiting to pounce on this.
By the way, look at the kill feed.
Deeds have just gone down for Zeddy.
Now it was, oh!
I was going to say it was from distance potentially, but that's two kills from distance.
There's a Kraber's in use as well.
And Zeddy, who just need to, they need to!
and they need him back.
It's never fun to be in this situation as they go down.
Zeddy will not cross the threshold.
Eyes turned now to vision as S8UL on the team they're able to put that final nail in the coffin.
Liquid also on the fire, NIP, Falcons all losing players,
and Zero trying to stay alive! Zero!
No!
This is it, but Jarvis will be down next as SAUL will stabilise behind this new castle
wall.
Now Falcons down to one, Falcons down to zero.
The knuckle cluster from Vigint flushes them out.
Vigint at 49.
Those kills put them just one away now they could just try and play for placements typically
and because of the position they hold, surely they get to 50 here.
They're the only team on the south, they just need to wait for other teams to go down.
By the way, Blinkside is going wild in the game, so I will say, we need to stay here, they're on vision to see how they
Get to this one point
Elite Esports just being eliminated in the meantime. Team Liquid now trying to cross their way towards them. They only need four points
It's a bit more difficult for Liquid looking at their position. They're at the Northwest
They're gonna have to go through a line, so I think just got back up by the way
Win a fight
And that'll be good, SAQ L were out
Liquid sends danger. Liquid sends opportunity.
Alliance trying to reset here, but the shots are coming in from so many different angles.
It sends it again, it flings it, just having a field day. He's at 6.
He's got infinite ammo on that Crabber.
And like you say, 6KB already for the IGL of the World Chaps.
It is worth noting as well, with only five squads remaining that does at placement points division,
they will also cross that match point threshold at 51.
And Hakis, he was down, he was out.
And a little bit of extra salt rubbed into that wound.
Liquid in three, one team fight for Liquid and they are good.
They will hit match point as well.
And Panic is just trying to find a victim, but doesn't know that across of them is going to be Sentels.
And do they know that Blincher isn't missing with that Kraber?
Elsewhere you can see the AG taking damage to vision.
I think the L-star is going to play an important factor into this one as well.
You put an L-star in Panic's hands, he can do some dirty things.
The smoke's going down as well, the light's just been eliminated.
The final player cannot survive, Akku will fall.
We'll see Liquid start to take damage.
And those two points seem a long way away.
All of a sudden the Sykes will be down.
Panic says, I'm going to try and do what I can here.
Sentinels, you will not fall!
Either Liquid come up short!
As now AG try and swing behind Sentinels.
AG with a last gas push as well to try and send themselves closer to the top.
Sentinels after a valiant effort and doing their job will be eliminated.
It's vision!
Oh dear!
AG on the hunt, they won across 5.2.
Bishop the last team in front of them.
Won't be won!
Surely not.
The match point here for Nierzel!
Can't get it done, but Team Vision, they do get it done!
Match point hit!
Well, Zack said, six games.
Maybe it was six games to cross that match point threshold,
as we have our first two teams who will get the opportunity to win this tournament in match seven.
Vision, one of the best IGLs that we have seen in Zack Mesa in recent times,
against Sentinels, the reigning ALGS world champions.
Match 7 is going to be absolute cinema.
We win these.
We win these indeed.
Big moments.
Ha.
Ha.
Big moments.
The vision.
I thought we were going to get away with it,
but Laura had to hit it.
Ha.
Someone has to.
Well, Team Liquid, they were desperately close.
Zeddy Esports also couldn't quite cross that finish line.
And whilst we may have two teams now on match point,
that doesn't mean we're going to get done here in match seven
because there are going to be so many teams hunting down
match point eligibility themselves.
Look at it try and put points on the board
and all of those teams who are still down at the bottom
of the leaderboards, we have some huge names
that can definitely find wins.
Alliance, GG, S-A-U-L, ninjas and pyjamas.
Like these teams can definitely keep us going here in match seven.
something to note here is usually it feels like we have one team hit match point first.
Everyone in the lobby is aware of where that team is going to be, where they're likely
to rotate. Now it's very interesting. The fact that we have two teams hitting match
point together, that makes it a little bit more interesting. That gives the two teams
who are on match point right now a little bit more cover and a little bit more anonymity
when it comes to those end games and the mid game as well. This is going to be a very,
very interesting dynamic that's
being added here in our match
finals. And now you start to get
into the territory of do we switch
things up? Do we play differently
now? Well, for a team like
Sentinels and vision who play a very
particular style, they should be fine
going into match seven. Sentinels who
love his own heavy rotation vision who
like to kind of pick their zone, pick
their spot and we heard the listening
earlier how they approach things.
These are two teams who are certainly
There's confirmation of the points from match six and again some of these teams that are at the bottom
They didn't find points. They're gonna be desperately looking for them going into match seven
He has a little heartbreak for him and those final moments
So I thought he was gonna just maybe just maybe just reload the Craver and just no scope someone to hit match
But that would have been absolutely ridiculous
But did everything he could to try and force AG over the line weren't quite able to do it
But this is how things look in the overall rankings now a reminder
If you're watching match point finals for the first time, if team vision or Sentinels win the next game, the tournament will end and one of them will be crowned as champions.
For everyone else, it's still about hitting match point, getting a 50, and there's still a long way to go, you feel.
But for now, that's going to do it for the games. We're going to go down to the end of the stage here because Barney is with a member of Zeddy Esports.
call me back and that's just how we roll, you know. I'm always in there but if he calls me off
I'll call it off. I trust my teammates to do that and they trust me to frag and do what I do,
you know, and put a lot of damage. I mean coming into this today obviously you're trying to put
down as many points as you can. The frustration is clearly there. We've got a couple of points
shy right now of match point but look dude you're 18. You've got all this incredible,
you've got such a bright future in this esport ahead of you. How are you staying composed? I'm
I'm guessing dupe is keeping you guys focused because I think impose when you're you're so close and you can make it happen
Honestly for me, it's like at nobody believe in me. Nobody trusted in me
So I have like no expectations right everybody doesn't believe me. So for me like I'm nothing to lose
I only have something to gain right and that's people's respects
So for me and I'm going to try to prove people wrong and just fag out
You know, I've been called the online or so many times, you know, and this is my opportunity that shut them down
Yeah, dude and being here at this point in the competition playing the way that you are. I tell you what if other people don't
I believe in you man jelly appreciate your time. Thanks so much go back chill get your brain composed for the next game
We expect you to be in that match point threshold, but for now we're gonna head back over to rain day
He's got himself an interview one of the boys and sent in those well
We may not have a defending EWC champion here
We do in the ALGS circuit have a defending land champion blinks are from sentinels joining me blinks are you guys are one of the
First teams in our history, obviously to win a championship,
you did that a few months ago.
And now you have a chance to be one of the only teams
in ALGS history to go back to back,
getting on that point with vision.
What's going on in your mind right now?
I mean, not much to be fair.
You know, it feels good to be in this position,
to go back to back.
I know it doesn't happen often, but we're ready for it.
And I think we're looking to do it again.
One of the things that has been talked about for you guys
is your team synergy.
But it takes more than that.
How did you feel about your draft coming into today?
Because that was a big conversation
amongst a lot of pros.
Getting to the zones that are pulling this tournament,
how did you guys go about that?
Do you feel good about what you have?
So right, our draft, you know, we play our zone.
So we have Jurassic.
We have a Canal Plaza.
We have a landslide.
The worst pros in the game, some people might say.
But we love it.
I'm going to say again, it's God Draft.
Best POIs in the game, by far.
Well, you guys are getting the zone.
You're doing the right thing.
65 points.
This game could be over at any moment in time.
Since we may not get a chance to talk to you before you lift the trophy,
I want to give you a chance to say something in French.
Thank you so much for being here.
The crowd was incredible.
You're great to see everyone.
Thank you very much for the love.
That's it.
I love it. He did the no-no.
Can't take my mic, but you might take the championship.
Please, sir. Appreciate you from Sentinels.
Pretty soon, we're going to be coming back with the studio for more here at the ALGS split one playoffs at EWC 26.
The body was built to move, not trapped at a desk in one singular posture for 12 hours a day.
It's time your chair evolved. This is Secret Lab Titan Evo.
Ergonomically engineered for you, gamers, hybrid workers, artists, and back in your every move.
It's beautiful.
You're my hero!
Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!
I've managed to grab Claire here. Perfect time to talk to because we are three matches in now and we have vision within striking distance of match point eligibility.
the crowd that we've got going on right now.
Well, the crowd is absolutely insane.
They need to get us some more seats here at EWC,
because we've got people sitting in the stands,
like, it's insane over here.
But no, Zach woke up feeling today.
It's so confident, and all the boys feel really good,
and they got the best coach ever, so I'm locked in.
I think they got it.
I mean, coming out the day with the win,
to start everything off,
that's got to be a good way for them mentally,
even just kind of getting into the rhythm of things,
because we know how chaotic match point finals can be.
finals can be. Yeah, I feel like when you start game one, like I know the boys, if they win their
first fight, they're feeling really confident, they're feeling really good. So especially when
in the first game, they're out there for blood. I mean, I love it. Any expectations outside of
team vision for how we think you go today? See, here's the thing is I did have some non-biased
answers, but then they exited the tournament. So now I feel like I shouldn't say anything. So,
give you the bias. I mean, Falcons, of course, we all love Falcons. I got the Alliance fans over
here behind me and like of course I'm going for alliance as well so yeah those
will be my bias answers I love it I'll go Claire thank you so much for
chatting enjoy the tournament yeah thank you for having me
hi mom
we have two teams already in match point this could be ending in the next
match sentinels I mean what a turnaround two laced
because this squad if I'm not mistaken they were in 19th place
Shout out to Snipe because he's the one that told me that before after those first three matches they have turned it around.
Yeah, I mean, you know, you heard Blinxer say, ah, yeah, not much is going through my head.
You know, it's going through his head that his MVP trophy from Triumph still hasn't been delivered.
And he's apparently blaming me for that.
So, yeah, we might need to fix that because obviously they're looking incredibly good right now.
Blinxer is like not only managing this team, IGLing this team, but you've course got Monsoon and Fun as well,
who actually flex roles and change and adapt no matter what map that they're on.
So this team is really showcasing it and telling us why they've won champs and look, they might even do it again.
Yeah, I feel like we might have even another underdog story, even though they won the last lane.
I feel like a lot of teams did not get them credit and to go first, second, third and back-to-back games to jump from 19th to all the way up here in the top two is incredibly impressive.
We always mentioned how no team that's got on match point first has won the tournament, but now we have two at the same time.
So more odds the Marrior and it's very awesome to watch this team especially blinks are and how amazing that they are doing the power of friendship
Continues to perform here at EWC
And one team that we got to talk about as well. It's none other than team vision
Currently sitting in first place. I know you guys were watching the multiview provided by ALJ
LGS
What were the comms looking like?
Dude they comes who were juicy the sack has never been more on point and he has on this land
I think so I believe that he's one of the people everybody has always rooted for because he's funny
He's had his major moments. He's had a lot of fun things, but this land
He's on a different level up when I hear him hold back his teammates when they're literally just screaming to go
Go, he's like no slow down slow down and he's
Every single angle even that specific bridge fight as well. There was on Edith Rick. He's just he's right there
and he's know what's happening around him.
He's aware, he said we needed to push this fight
when it fell shorter, like we should have
closed out that game.
He still knew exactly what went wrong already
before he did and he's just right there.
Yeah, shout out to Multiboo because we've been watching
a lot of teams this whole tournament
and the communication and honestly watching
Zack Nasir control the emotions of every single
one of his teammates.
He's got a young team that has not performed
to this level before and to be able to have
so much chaos going on.
We've got questions about Zack's IGL in the past
They're trying to do too much, you know, contesting teams when they shouldn't.
I got a chance to talk to Loader in the cafeteria, he's never been more confident, Zac was so,
so confident.
And honestly, Grace, for example, how important is it to have an IGL that while there's so
much chaos going on, you're able to reel your team in, talk about just the ability
to control emotions, not just after the game when it's over and you go back and you think,
oh well we did this wrong, we're this wrong, but in the very moment it's happening.
I mean really, it's all about being able to be level headed whilst everybody else is flourishing
those emotions at the highest, because you're at the highest stakes of the tournament right now.
We're talking about live-changing money, 600k on the line if they were to take this home,
and of course people are going to be really excited to make plays. However, playing too much
and people might third you, so it's really good to have somebody mature like Zac who's been through
thick and thin off these tournaments to really have your teammates back in case you do need to
slow down a little bit. And boy, so far, they've even been triple split, if you guys saw on that
match win as well they've been triple split three way to where two people are playing a two by one
and he's just like okay you guys can go no way come back come back just make sure okay you guys
can go back is everywhere right now he's on point and you can tell right now on your screen how good
both of the squads have been playing they're currently tied they have hit that match point if
any of these two squads win the next game there will be crowned the ALGS at EWC 26 champion
talking about plays, talking about mood, talking about all that stuff, how the players are feeling.
I think we expected a lot more out of team Falcons 2 and at one point we actually saw Imperial House just chewing out his teams.
Yeah, well you obviously, you know, we've got to speak to privacy and he's sort of giving us that play by play saying Falcons are doing it at 8
and obviously, you know, we're not at that sort of sense yet, but we talk about this sort of mentality going into it.
There's so many expectations on top of Falcons shoulders right now and we're seeing that kind of reflect in their gameplay.
We'll see if hopefully in the next couple of matches, I mean, they got to make sure they
stop Santos and team vision.
Now talking about those two squads, right?
You already hit that point.
I want to get into your guys' brains, Grace.
Well, Ant Snipe, I'm going to go with you first, Snipe.
You already hit match point.
What is going through your head in regards to are you going to be changing your game
style because you could end up backfire?
Yeah, I mean, both of these teams are obviously doing everything that they can to write right
now.
is in vision for vision and that knows already knows what it's like bar tournament so for these
teams it's just continue doing what we're doing obviously they these both these teams have now
performed vision wins at the beginning of series they went at the end of series they're the team
that i think has the best chance to win games as they prove that all throughout pro league being
the most winning team in that in north america so for them it's just continue with that pace don't
let it get ahead of themselves but at the same time don't slow down keep getting the kill points
keep getting the kp make sure you stay at the top of that leaderboard because no matter what that's
Obviously, the win is what you want, but make sure you stay at the top, don't slow down, and continue with everything that's happening.
I mean, from what I've seen so far out of them, it's really the macro decision.
Like, they've all been playing kind of half speed for now, where they come in zone 3 a little bit late, instead of just opting in early.
A lot of these teams have gone in almost too early, got punished for it, and we've seen a lot of teams have been proactive.
That means people will take fights here. I think Alliance is a great example to go in a little bit, immediately pinched by two teams.
Zac and the boys and also Sentals as well have been playing on their own pace.
They don't care what the lobby is doing, they're playing their game
and it's really, really giving them the results that they're looking for.
I'm glad to hear that, especially with the way Zac is playing.
I know everybody's truly very proud of the way he is playing.
Now, talking about those two teams, if you had to pick one, team vision or Sentinels?
I'm going to put you on the spot right now.
I'm going to do it.
You have to pick one or?
It's got to be visions then.
It's got to be, I feel like Zac deserves his moment.
I think we all agree, you know, we saw the passion when once soon, you know,
then the team's signals won their moment after such a long, you know, series.
Yeah, I've got to say, visions.
How about you, Grace?
Yeah, the major laser has to come out.
I'm rooting for him.
Is it the greatest guy?
Yeah, come back story, Zach missed the last land.
I know it's heartbreaking for him as he just, you know,
he's been such a passionate player.
And I think that this is the team.
He has a team that trusts him more than any time before.
And it's in his sights.
I mean, there's no better team right now, I think, than me.
Well, they've got to make sure they hopefully close it out
within those next matches.
Because if not Team Liquid, Zeddy Esports, too,
this is one squad.
Remember, Deeds ended up finishing
EWC in second place last year.
Right now, they're just two points away from the match point.
Yeah.
I mean, this team has been flying under the radar the entire week.
And I feel like no one talked about them.
They were one of the weaker teams in the region.
And for them to come to this event,
I guarantee that experience with Deeds
huge. I got a chance to talk to Duke and Jelly upstairs and they were just laughing. They were
giving each other nicknames and it's like I feel like this is the same kind of Sentinels thing
where it's just the friendship and the trust within each other. There's no egos on any of these
rosters and it's incredibly impressive to see them this high up at the leaderboard and performing
this well. I think they also have the benefit of not being the first team to hit match but because
that's been occurred in a lot of the tournaments but they're not really able to close out the game
so we'll have to see if they can do that. Well I think we will be finding out as the match
is ready. The ground is ready as well. We're going to be going into match seven with two teams
at match point. Let's send it over to Vicky and Spider Tiff. Thank you, seven. We got two teams
at match point. The legendary moment that could shine as we go into World's Edge. Pressure on the
the backs of Team Vision in Sentinel's tiff.
Imagine the story.
It's sack clutches up, but we can't taunt it yet
because the end is in sight.
But we heard the confidence from his interview earlier,
and this could be that gift wrap moment.
I mean, look, he was confident earlier on stage.
You see the smiles right there.
We heard from Clara just how confident
they woke up this morning.
Back just a few days ago on Media Day,
I was back in the room for like six hours
talking to a ton of different teams and when Team Vision came in, Zach only had positive
things to say about the up and coming Carter and Loader duo. He's like, here's the deal
guys. Yes, I'm the IGL. Yes, I can say where I want to go, but those two get creative. It's
like, yes, he makes the calls, but he, IGLs through them involves them in those creative
decisions and you're going to have to get creative because Team Vision has not won
a world's edge in this tournament thus far, and neither have Sentinels.
Oh my goodness, noting that too, and how this game is gonna play out.
It's crazy too, before we go into World's Edge, let's not forget, right, well that
game number eight is looking like, cause it will be Sorbren, but that is to say, we even
get there is the question, cause you heard it from Zack himself, if it goes the distance,
he feels like he failed as an IGL.
IGL by the way that has insane micro IGLing play from the very beginning within the America's region and now being able to shine on the big stage
Knowing there are four teams at the back within just a few points of a Clipsing 50
This is Sentinels and TeamVision's game in pocket to close it out
World Edge, it's one of our oldest maps in our map pool here for the ALGS split one playoffs
playoffs, but you're gonna have to lock it in and get crafty.
Lock it in. We do everybody. Are you ready? This could be a
rep. We could even see more apex as vision.
This team right now, walking out with the altar, which to
highlight altar is the most pigs legend in this game. So she
will be banned after this. Young players here as send those
looking for the opportunity to get them back to back.
Since what, the TSM in dark zero days?
The real ones remember that would be beautiful
with this squad.
And there's some stark differences here
when you look at the legend compositions
checking in the team vision and sentinels.
But the one thing that rings true
is both of them are running catalyst.
They're focusing on getting ring console,
getting that information.
And as we pull it up, you immediately see
from landslides, sentinels pop the evac and go straight to the north. Now, these circles tend
to be incredibly difficult because you think of how open things are post that tunnel, where Zeta
Division is already starting to walk up on those train tracks. Now, one of the teams is going to
have a the longest rotation there is our other match point eligible team team vision down in
launch site. They will have the longest, but that's okay because keep tabs on not only them,
But Falcons, every match that we've seen thus far,
Team Falcons and Team Vision have wanted to play
from the same side of things.
The Team Falcons are over in Lava Fissure.
They have information and they're immediately diving up
to look towards trials.
And that's really smart to try to rotate over
onto the north side because then you look at Skyhook
and there's a survey weekend, but you also
have to consider elite esports who also split
Luke trials and Skyhook West will have 836 in dead last with teams already
managed to secure themselves in the match point team format.
It's beautiful to see as Wolfson the distance set no one's in the hand is
looking at him coming out of the choke.
I know set no is also going to be able to be on that side.
I'm going to be careful with lengths to land some of these shots.
12 points needed, and they have been stuck there, but to Geyser we go for ninjas and
pajamas and Gigi, Gigi also kind of one of those teams that was favored to come in here
and do really well in NIP.
The triple taken hand here for Cole, some of you may know him as McLovin throughout his
years at ALPS.com.
He's like no one remembers me as Cole now, there I'm just a new guy, right, no, he was
McLovin.
Wonder why.
Why such a cool name? It is a cool name, but he really likes his name
And I you know what cool is cool too, and now and I P looking at to try to at least get some points themselves
Lot of pressure here on this team now chasing down
Gaming gladiators over by Geyser, but let's also up forget who's over by big mod as s8 you well
Who are looking to 3p this and with these teams now feeling that pressure?
They need all the KP. They need a grief the teams who are sitting in the match point format
An SAUL was incredibly consistent during the group stages
But have it found that form here in match point finals a lobby in which the match ban has gone
Relatively similar in the early matches but are now deviating and with the dark bail off Lutka on the sparrow trying to use the trackers art
For information we invest even our ultimate and let it start ticking the information
and it puts us to the turn in NIP.
Now we even have to bring in the motherload from vain.
I mean, they try to cut off the game in Gladius rotation
and they actually pay for it with Cole going down now,
Curve wrapping us right behind him.
They want a team that don't have the altar
and it's unfortunate here.
With so many other teams that are,
Curve not running for his life,
while Luca's gonna be able to try and take that up for free.
Curve literally, one shot, is trying to get away,
but guess what?
Who's waiting for NIP?
The last member is SAUL.
As Gigi wanna scoop that up,
legacy as other plans he finds him in the process and on the other side it's
gonna be Bane who thinks he can get away but it's Team Liquid who are a point away
from also being at match point. And I love that we get onto Team Liquid here
because not only have Panic and Zero been really incredible for this Team Liquid
roster, we don't talk enough about Sykes. Sykes has actually been crushing it as
Anchor and he's been flexible on all these different legends and it's really
allowing Zero and Panic to kind of unlock that next potential. They've been in full form, but one point away from 50s, and Gigi's at the top.
Sure, not the best armor on Gigi for them for now, but Team Liquid has to be smart about this, knowing where they are.
Especially when they're so close to having to be careful, Gigi could drop around behind them. There was that survey beacon too, they couldn't be able to prior that if they haven't already. Gigi now backing away.
Looking at the evil harasser, making sure everything is safe.
Team with the match in though on the other side of the tunnel.
Splitting ends as S8UL go through the choke that exits out of Geyser,
but it's a huge pile up over on the northern side of where the zone is
pulling on the outskirts of Skyhook East.
Very true.
GG, now rotating away on triple blue, checking in here with team vision.
One of your match point eligible teams hitting the replicator, grabbing the e-back
tower. It is time to leave stacks with our information in
tone. But knowing that the Northern Girls Edge Vicki is
one of the most difficult zones to play from. There's not a
lot of space left in Sentinels. You can see Blinkster on the
way must portal back to the building that Sentinels took
such early on. And that's why they're gonna play this safe.
You mentioned it earlier when you took a look at their
composition, settle down here. Blinkster, by the way, has got
a cheeky wassama kidnaps back to back. And it's also crazy to
to say that Sentos, after three games,
were literally almost in dead last
and now have elevated themselves.
As we get to a little take a look at Falcons,
it's versus GK here,
Isolated Fight over by Skyhook West,
as Hal moves up here,
sends out the Nade from a distance.
13 points needed for Falcons to eclipse 50.
And if Sky Nade passed the Dark Veil to see if we connect,
we hit for minimal damage
and the void passage through the wall,
through the bottom of the entrance we go,
Up, as if possibly no dropped.
Watching, showing the presence, Keon on the valve,
can cover multiple angles.
And you know who hears his fight right now?
The one to invite is Elite Esports.
And so is RQ now.
TK actually back away because again,
with all the alters in this lobby,
why not with the Voidnecks?
Is the Band-Aid here to help them?
And Falcon seeing that they wanted to go back,
means that they could be an indicator with another team
being right behind them being Elite
who are trying to get this KPU.
Elite need this KPU.
They don't want to get dubbed a group stage warrior.
In 18 points, it's easily doable in a game
considering how strong they were.
They've already crushed six keys
and they really want to do the rest for RRQ.
They just need 12 points
that they've been striving to get.
Same situation as Wolves.
Breaking keys.
Draven Flynn taking a note out of that one
as Halk is now looking at the team ahead.
It's getting congested here
GK come right back after utilizing that TP out of countdown where two Nemesis want to go in for a 3P.
And GK just holding steady here.
Bruiser on the long belt.
You can really do some damage up there in Skyhook.
And it's going to be one of those calls where if you don't have the information, you play the wrong side.
And Team Liquid, one point away from matchpoint.
Wait? If they get finished off last, they will be at matchpoint.
Every kill matters.
Every kill matters.
And Team Liquid hit 50.
Another team, welcome to the Matt Point Club.
Welcome Team Liquid, our third team.
Bowdkins chasing right behind them,
though involving themselves against GK.
Once again, getting a little bit of deja vu,
while reject now show face over by Skyhook West.
Zone closing in behind their backs in the next seven seconds.
They're trying to break through this door,
especially when you have to deal with the catalyst.
It is really difficult.
You are 100% right.
That reinforcement, the piercing spikes, the falcons.
They disappear for the time being,
and DK moves back to their building
thanks to the Void Nexus.
How on alter?
A little staircase to stay safe.
Have moved into diner.
You have to think we have to go through the chokes.
Do you take tunnel?
Do you take the Skyhook West chokes?
Do we go into Sky?
Calm before the storm here, because they know once they
start moving up, they heard the shots in the distance.
team nemesis are on the choke that would lead you from countdown to skyhook you
even get a scan here in the distance to highlight the team that are still on the
outskirts all this next zone but it's going to be a difficult rotate because
so many other teams waiting for them outside of skyhook who didn't have
access to either a ring console to get that info or even the survey beacon so
here's the deal keep your eyes on team vision right now just on the south side
of epicenter they hit a ring console before they decided which area they
wanted to rotate in on. Is that fight with 4 fun that's brewing may be one for
the win of the game. Team Liquid at the top of End of the Center seem to
constantly run into each other. They've been calling similar end games all day.
For the teams that got to get out of Skyhook West, good luck, have fun. Team
Falcons go countdown for the rotation. This is gonna be so tough as you can see
Carter. He hears 4 fun right above him. It's gonna be Mags. As he's waiting to see if he
get the portal up, try to see if you can also get a kit up, but it leads them up to the other side of the rock.
Unfortunately, because they wanted to try to get up on the high ground after hearing that player right above them.
Together with a void passage too, so now they have to kind of backtrack here, take their time.
Keep your tabs on AG Global, just head heads up. They are getting and waiting for Mythic Bin in the south of Team Vision.
Likely going to have a graver, a couple of gold weapons.
For now Team Vision are safe but big fights are brewing for the Falcons who went through countdown.
It's not going to be easy. Reject has taken a ton of space out here.
You can see one in the tower and you know just how good at fighting they've been.
The fact that they're in 16th with 21 total points if you're looking at Reject.
But we're now jumping down.
It's going to get congested on this side of zone because SAURO are ahead of Reject on this road today.
Dnemesis will show face right behind Falcons who are trying to pressure them up because there's an evil harvester on the outside of the tunnel
That leads you out of Skyhook as Hal now gets into the high ground
Oh, you're missing out on some of these shots with the hemlock. There's nothing extended having that. It's fine though
And but Desco actually takes that off of access utilizing the nade and now Falcons still not being able to pick up that KP
And you see exactly what's happening
Reject drops their portal on their race player and tries to get ahead of SAUL.
All this is doing is delaying the inevitable and opening up which side the Falcons would like to rotate in on.
For now, Team Sentinels hold the building in circle with the Survey Beacon and Reject are down to just your ease.
This is just to allow Falcons to walk up through this choke for free. SAUL taking advantage of Reject.
They wrap up behind SAUL, but we have to take a look at vision who now pulled up on for fun back in a way
Carter one shot
We just do eventually get a limited a second team out of this lobby, but it's up to vision to stay alive
And it's gonna be tough
I like that we've got Zach on the fuse to keep the knuckle clusters going
We have a mother load in the back pocket should we need to expend it for the fight
But managing these cooldowns to navigate that open to end game is going to be critical
Especially when he's got that purple part too.
Through the walls, through the floors.
Oh my goodness, that's Spineady.
Best Nate, I see him in a minute.
Onto the feet of Zack.
Looking behind him to make sure that no team wraps up on the other side
because who can do that is Team Liquid, as you mentioned, Tiff.
Trying to neighbor that together of Team Vision,
mirroring the way that they rotate as Carter looking behind them.
They do have that portal next to setup just in case.
They move up to the other side and Lee do get eliminated.
You get eliminated, team nemesis to join them.
Elite were in 10th place on the leaderboard, 18 points outside of 50.
The next teams that have the chance of eclipsing are Zeddy and AG Global, Zeta as well, Zeta
who's an end game across the street from Sentinels building here, and GK.
They've come knocking on the doors.
You have to look at the resources of what you have to be able to lay siege to a building
reinforced by Kat.
The fact that set knows I've called the circle ball over to grandma's house
Which is here to serve you up with some cookies as wolves get eliminated in the feed through the window
Sentinels are looking at victory in fact
They are primed and ready 15 squads left and as you mentioned it with a G being so close
So being in a match point team but that you aren't even closer with a one-point difference
A.G. are going to have a big fight in the South of the Lions, but this one has been growing harder down that maser.
Shield's ripped off him.
Motor and Team Liquid have been hit.
The Young Gun panic. Too much damage. Team Liquid have been hit. Team Vision.
And Vision knew that they were going to get behind them. They knew that there was a team on the horizon as panic.
The young player coming through as the kill leader semantics does take on to the high ground
but team will live where they want to be able to secure themselves for getting the match point
at least in this game.
Exactly, their job is done. They've reached 50. They can int everything.
Their job is to get it one more game.
This means the door is wide open for sentinels to possibly take it
And Zeddy do end up getting onto the Math Point Club. They are at 52 total points.
They win the fights in the North at Survey Camp, and they hail down.
As this is one of the most open rotations we're going to see teams coming out of tunnels on limit.
Interforce 36 and AG trying to get away from Alliance, trying to find a space to play from.
But they're getting desperate. They want to finish off the players who are knocked right before their eyes
Because they know they need this KP with 12-12 left to S8UL who are fragging out in this game.
Do get eliminated.
That's really unfortunate for a team that needs every point that they can get.
They had 5 KP before they fell with 6 total points.
For Fun Esports, go down with the hands of Zeta, who need 4 more points to hit 50!
And the chaos and the collapse as everybody moves outside of FBE36, look at SETI.
And Zedno's blinks are still holding up to the longbow, does find that pickup onto Unlimited.
Zedna move up, Duplex playing out of his Molly falls up to find Sanap and Jelly to find Obli.
But Zedno's are not leaving from this building which plays into the composition that you highlighted earlier, Tim.
And Zedny finds Juzna.
Nr. Force 36 is out.
Falcon's GK Sentinel still trying to lay siege over here in this building.
Who lays claims?
Keon, underneath with Noct.
You have to keep your eyes like look at the floor. We are piercing spikes galore reinforced on the left
They're like do keep out
You know what's gonna take is gonna take a few and see like glitter out aging global is out and alliance are in trouble
And alliance go out on the team
I'm able to clutch out while sentinels are still alive
The line who sells the opportunity to maybe getting all the extra that they need so they rotate it here so early
But they vote for down you mentioned the piercing spikes before is lava as do okay
Well, I underneath them do out the alter remember alter is the most big legend
They have to watch out for the way that these teams have a push in which is why they're also running the catalyst
This is insane 50% of the time sentinels get into the top 10 they go top five
That conversion rate for the top five into the win is 12.5
But they still haven't taken a world's edge wing. Could this be the first could this beat the back to back?
Send city
trying to perform the back-to-back.
They're settling down as he move up,
looking as Zeta holds on to Pride Rock.
Because in the jungle, Mike now looks here.
On the fuse, he finds the crack.
Seven squads left, and they're all point away
from matching that in the match point club.
A voice that may, by the way, from a distance,
takes the portal down, flying by though,
with the Skyward dive, and falls the missile so much,
tries to get them up, he looks behind him, he's getting ripped us, he gets up the fiercest wins with a melee, but they're solely on the way, they don't do it, they don't make it, as Eddie greets them.
They're out at 49 points, 1 point away, and Sentinels are in the top 5 as we lose GK. I got a 12.5% conversion rate. This will be the first win on World's Edge. Who can take them down?
Settles are blind, nobody's behind them!
Everyone is on the Eastern side!
Team Falcons, Team RRQ and on the limit as Zeddy falls.
The possible back-to-back is here.
Blitz has been the top driver in this lobby from your MVP player at Champs.
He shows off the consistency, he's got him so many of these kidnaps off the rave.
Who can stop them? What do we have? Falcons, an altar, a catalyst and a Bangalore.
Do we have the Rolling Thunder?
RRQ brings out the Sparrow Balls, but they're fighting!
Only team that can turn those off of Bucca is a limit.
And Guild is down. If we don't recover here, because a limit could send this, but they're up on the top.
They have the Ant covers. They're using the coverage.
They could break out a Sheila and do some damage if they could find them.
Strafe beflames at Ocelobisa, last four spots here, how nice, they do two more points, they're getting beaten by a long ball, that's probably the hands of Linkster, back in the way and dancing around the void.
The void nexus is available, you have to dodge all of the sparrow utility, but we're opening ourselves up to the left from Sentinels.
The duo of RRQ, strafing in Easy Flash who have worked together to get top three at land before.
They want to help this. They need one more game. Six points puts them on 50. Two points for Falcons.
Falcons desperate as the final re-equals behind their back and Sentinels are winking at this pile-up. It's just a matter of time!
Sentinels do have to move up eventually, but this is their moment!
Okay, Wolsey! Okay, Wolsey! We didn't find all of our RQ, but we get in, we have coverage, we threw the rolling Thunder North, we let Unlimit take that.
Unlimited take that, and RRQ are playing for the center of the train tracks.
And when he jams here, four squads left, Falcons desperate, unlimited, moving up, RQ though aren't fixated.
Also Sentinels as they drive it back away, it's the duo, they take the ball back.
Out of town, the easy club is down.
The only team full of, is Sentinels, your former ALGS champs.
Sentinels looking for the back to back, victory in sight.
Unlimit also. Still back up to a team of three. Unlimit have high ground. Peace. Yalori man. It's Dubeen.
And Wolsey is the left standing as team RRQ is out.
They get to match point, but is it all for naught? Has Sett knows. Now move up with Blicer making the move off the right.
He gets a wall jump. He takes it back. Don't think he has to take it though. It's only to Blicer. No way!
Falcons! The script writers are hard at work as unlimited. Stay alive. Falcons get eliminated.
Blitzer, that's it! Unlimit!
We can't lose no way!
Stop it! One more game!
Unlimit show, no peace!
They set fire to the flames, and Blitzer,
although trying to stall with a portal play,
do not close it out.
The celebrations from Unlimit who held against a rolling thunder from Falcons, who kept our
RRQ at bay, who let our RRQ and Falcons tackle each other, and they focused on the real objective.
more game. Unlimit keep this going. Go next. As Sentinels do such a good job at
securing final zone position. The choke at the very end when victory was in sights.
The capital for 80 chaos. The split up of the fight. Falcons though, alongside so
So many teams have now fallen themselves at match point and it makes you wonder that they
lose out on this opportunity now.
Now you're starting to sound like everyone else.
One shot, one moment, I'm just kidding, but here's the deal guys, as we go back to see
it from unlimited POV, they were situated up north with the ramparts behind the antevers
and it wasn't just a win for them.
It was 23 points as you see them annihilate Falcons,
fun down on the ground.
We just have to locate blinks or they're waiting.
The portal goes outside the ring
and the dichotomy between the reigning champions
and the ones that are looking to take it for themselves.
When you need them the most, they don't vanish.
They rise up unlimited.
43 total points, but we've gotta highlight the teams.
that now meet up with set nose and team vision in the match point club Zeddy team
liquid Falcons vision and set nose now all beyond 50 points say the division by
the way just a one-point difference that we saw in that previous game easily
can match that depending on how game number eight plays out on storm point but
How many times have we seen Yuka F in that situation?
So close to breaching that.
As we pull up the match results here,
unlimited and absolute explosive performance
for 23 points.
Sentinels, you see there's only two KP.
It doesn't even matter, right?
Because we're focused on the win
and they held that building
and Falcons with a 15 point game.
They just need a little bit more.
Zeddy though went massive to hit 50 points
though with 17 points on that game.
Crazy to see on the other side too how a lot of these other teams, even S8UL, with 5KP, we saw what they were doing when they're holding the choke on the outskirts of Grandma's house before Falcons wrapped up right behind them.
Vision 2, when they got wrapped by Team Liquid.
That was tough, and they went for so much information. So many ring consoles. They deviated
out from the bottom as we look back towards the top five situation yet again. Trying to
stay up, guilt going down in that initial fight, and trying to rest the void passage.
Even fun with the angles like that over the intersecting dark veil.
That split too, why it's so important when you highlight the catalyst, we'll see.
Be able to secure the KP that they need for unlimited, just dives up, waits for the portal,
lift that wall, was down, it was all here for unlimited to move up.
It's not like they were the ones with the catalyst, right?
They just saw the wall go down and they came up, found the other side of the portal,
that blitzer tried to move to clear that space.
And when you look back at it from unlimited's POV, it almost doesn't even look close.
They still have two players up and excuse me. It's like full health with an L-star just eating not only team Falcons and sentinels
That means we get some more apex guys. That means we move on to storm point game number eight coming you soon
One more game and that's what we get here at the ALGS split one playoffs at EWC the
crowd is hyping so are we what a moment there Barney to see sentinels on the brink of what
would have been history.
Back to back land wins.
Linkster, Monsoon and Fun, could not pull it off.
But that is not forsaken for lack of trying.
That was unfortunate, but also maybe the most exciting moment
so far.
Just mere moments away.
Everyone was holding their breath backstage.
But again, like you said, one more game, baby.
Who's currently in the good spot right now?
I mean, I love the way that we're seeing Sentinels play
obviously.
But when we go down the list, Team Vision
kind of started this galloping trend towards the top
from some of our teams we expected great play from,
but it's not just them either.
We've got Team Liquid and we've got Team Falcons.
Howl and Zero have both had different splits
this time around.
Not the dominance that we've seen before in North America,
but now both equally in their lane
to try to win this championship
and claim what would be an assertion
of the best IGL between the two.
However, I did see Zero as I was going backstage
and he said, we're winning this.
Ooh! Scratching the surface, about to get into the match point position.
We've got Zeta, we've got AG Global, we've got RRQ, and Unlimit,
all within 10 points of the match point threshold.
So, ladies and gentlemen, before we head into our next match,
and it could keep happening, make some...
No! That's Grace!
Come on!
Let's head over to our casters to take us into our next game.
Thank you so much, Barney.
Store point is among us.
And with so many teams now finding themselves at match point,
could it end here?
Or could the curse happen where the grim reapers
of match point format onset and gaskin maybe rise up
before the sake of sentinels?
Vision, Zeddy, Liquid, and Falcons.
The scriptwriters are hard at work
as we take a look at the amazing fans in the arena here,
live in Paris and if your team is not our match point you need to send that
energy straight to them we need another game we need more apex legends we went
double digits but the fatigue that it can have on our players as you settle for
a gauntlet of a series a two million dollar prize pool the ability to call
yourself the best at apex legends right now zero that's a Zen moment if I've
ever seen one time to lock it in sit up straight here but it's crazy to
highlight how unlimited get to keep this going how you Laurie just ends up
doing this back to Batman he's always put his buggy man to hide you but not
Not even just that, peace as well.
Peace is doing so much damage and finding so much potential here at ALGS Little Playoffs,
but also it was Xuvie with the L-Star in that A-game that made such a vital difference
to swing it their way.
The Wolves fans that are asking for the comeback that is needed.
The guys as we look forward to Storm Point, it's going to look a heck of a lot different.
We have no Gibby, no Newcastle, no Alter, no Watson, no Mad Baggy.
You're deep into the series and you want to know what teams have wins.
Team Vision have won two games on Storm Point historically.
Team Liquid have two wins on Storm Point and Zeta's won three.
We've seen it end with match point finals on Storm Point.
So many times, player giving them the energy.
You love to see it, the support.
As the lines are also feeling the pressure, their fans just rallying behind them.
Stormpoint, could it be wraps here?
Game 8, we're starting to go the distance now, Tiff.
And if you are sentinels, you are resetting and you go next.
That's all you can focus on. One game at a time, one fight at a time.
You get into that endgame. Your zone calling has been so solid.
You know what it takes to be at the top and to convert because you've done it before.
And let's make some noise. Game number eight, storm points.
As the storm is brewing and putting in the pressure as we welcome more teams into the 50-point threshold in the match point club.
Here at the eSports World Cup, taking a flyby and two highlights.
Set knows the fact that they landed Jurassic.
Will they have the information is the question as Eddie taking a look at this team.
With the young legend Jelly and the history that this team has also put on with duplex being on the Valkyrie.
Valve needed for the rotations, especially if we go to the north, because you need to
know that we're climbing up those battles, and it can be so difficult on foot.
For our teams that are in match point, a lot of them vying for that catalyst, you can see
Panic is going to be the one playing Cat here, Zero on the bang, and Sykes on the sparrow.
That's a good setup for the Team Liquid boys.
They're a very similar page in the way that they want to play in that end zone.
On the other half you have Falcons moving out of Barometer where there is a Survey Beacon.
Hopefully I see a ring console here in Barometer and the zone pulling all the way up north
towards where is it here to?
Visions over by Lightning Rod.
That's a good pickup for them.
That is definitely a good draft pick.
You mentioned Falcons.
That's essentially over in Barometer where Team Liquid played through out of Stormpoint
for group stages.
They have a survey beacon and that's okay with the Sparrow, they'll be able to have access to it.
And you can see down at Team Liquid, yes, they do have a survey beacon as well,
but Team Vision from the north immediately poised themselves.
Your next match point team that almost clutched it out, Sentinels from Jurassic.
Only at Survey Beacon and Zayn's getting into early action and just like that,
Game and Gladiators evaporated from the lobby.
I mean, it was over time. Snowballing downhill.
NIP do pick that up.
Even though their 19th haven't been able to find this KP,
but over onto the north side.
Look at this. With vision showing face.
Wolves as well. For fun now. Take a dive.
Right on top of the action.
Sentinels may come in right afterwards
because in Scorncatcher they follow.
And Wolves are looking down on them,
especially with a lot of the teams calling a Norton pull
on a zone like this.
And Zeta Division, I want to give highlight to them.
Coming from Kailan down south,
you have Greenhonsil in which team Liquid wants access to.
So Zeta are already out of the POI,
as 4-fun continuously keeps tabs on that.
They've moved into Thunder, watch a vision.
They're only going to get involved if it nets them God Spot.
And for now, this power building that they're able to hold,
especially with Catalyst being able to reinforce it,
we just...
Honestly,
We wait in the third party. You said pretty I mean it's not like we haven't seen an end zone pull up here that has ended the history
Over end calls for a match point finals. Hey, Gene. You're so close
To getting the KP that they needed while wolves pick up on fun taking a look at the side by side though of our previous fight
We'll have to see what happens to set knows. Yes, and IP they finish up this fight
But neither of these teams are close to the match point club
They take out game and glad he didn't set me with Blink turn trying to get the rest get it back up with fun
But that means to be careful goes won't have them in their side
They get the dark veil out and with just a few HP the Bangalore passive from shooting
I'm just give them the extra nudge that he needs to get behind cover. You can hear the bullets losing by and
We are stabilized can fun get back because wolves portal in and they're just ahead
They connect one shot with the wingman immediately send damage towards monsoon, but do not connect
They have the information from the Sparrow Arrow.
Wengs letting them know, and after getting that knock,
the police said that they're trying to stop Sentos.
That was their chance, and now Sentos are eliminated.
One of our best boy teams are out of this lobby.
Wolves keep the dream alive for themselves,
but it depends on what happens to the other remaining four teams.
They take the portal back, 18 squads now left.
And they break the curse of the 30s.
They were stuck in the 30s for like four or five games.
one of the closest teams after our first two matches to that coveted 50, but have now approached 42 eight points away.
We check in here with team Nemesis, a team that is very momentum based.
They can get super hot once they lock in.
They're so focused and a time for a comeback is now and being 29 points away.
We have seen games that big prior.
We've seen literally more than half a lobby at match point before.
That's what we love about our match point finals here in the ALGS.
As Nemesis come take to the sky,
so mirror that of the team who's also taking an evac in the distance.
That's going to be elite Esports, by the way, who were getting harassed by Falcons,
denying the information from the teams who need it over by CEDO, AG Global,
looking at Nemesis too in the sky while they are so desperate to pick up this KP.
You have to imagine how these pros feel with this pressure being so close that they could taste it even team vision
Who over on their PLY over by lightning or hopefully could build up those evil shields poking pressure over time?
Especially with the way a lot of these teams have been able to get this information with that northern zone pool
You definitely have to keep remembering the fact that we are going uphill team vision still holding down their building AG global
Shouting out the fact they see an EVAC tower ahead of them so a team that they're essentially shadowing.
A squad that has played in so many ALGS lands together but are just looking for their first win.
See? Vision in the building.
They're only concerned this lobby with someone sending them for that brio spot on weakened shields, but we're up to blues.
We've got ults.
And they feel the threat all these teams that were taking to the north side noting that this is where vision legs for their POI
Our enemy number one for the teams that are not at mass point who are now looking to see if they can evict vision looking behind them now
As Lorder wants a prior get the ring console having to protect them
It's gonna be Zach nice calls here from Zach Baszler
We're talking about what a prestigious IGL he is and with the side-by-side view on where the zone is pulling
Look at liquid wrapping on the cliff side of things going on the outskirts of storm catcher
Well Zated the vision still one point away from being at 50
You can see they have to go either north or go through storm catcher if we go north
We get the battle of the former teammates with S8 you well a little sharky V zero connection up there for
team vision, they're still in the north, but GK and Alliance could wrap behind them. Falcons over at
Cascade drop at Evac Tower and are working their way. Now how many times have we seen a command
center collapse, but there is a ring console in there and to know exactly where you need to go,
but those choke points on the outskirts are being watched by team RRQ who have also been stuck in
that area, but they have broken. They're just six points away from 50. And with Catalyst being the
most picked legend into getting these ring console scans too and bunkering down
Sparrow to match that alongside Bangalore 13 Bangalore's in this lobby 11
for Sparrow to not overextend and get that console information as well.
Fought the survey beacons and just being able to cover your backs and a lot of
these jokes to give you that information was honestly the demise of
what Sentos had to deal with right when they saw that wills wanted to send it
on to them as Falcons now rotate from the back ends of command center and it
just like you said to having that ring console will allow them to plan out
in this rotate but with team liquid trying to stay alive are looking down at
Sharky we talked about it before with the all CB all seemed violent between
zero and Sharky but he tries to rotate out he tries to take a different angle
and essay you well are hiding behind the rocks but with Sykes on the Sparrow this
could be the difference maker it's about to be Sparrow but everything else is the
same in the legend comp and you can see ultimates are coming through the dark
veils been expended piercing spikes and team liquid answer back with a veil of
their own to give them the ability to climb up.
That Sky Day, preventing Sykes from climbing there alongside Panic,
is everything for SAUL, because now they open it up and they're back.
But trying to cover Rima at the same time,
Zero finds a knock onto Sharky, they back away.
Beautiful surprise fire to help out Panic.
He gets his shields back up.
Now they try to cover the next angle here, SAUL.
Now seeing his pressure, no team wants to breathe from here.
As Team Liquid show their presence, find Jesko,
Legacy's Bonshot, who's still on the high ground.
Until now because Vision, Carter actually
scooped that up in the distance before Jesco
is the next to fall.
You try to take this fight versus Liquid,
and now Zero has cleared this entire northeastern side
of the zone.
And the fact that Vision has an angle on this
is something to note.
The difference between what we saw in Sentinels
in game winning position in last map
and now with Team Vision in the north
is you have to show presence.
You have to play big and keep teams off your backs for Team Liquid who have just solidified right here.
So long as no one rotates up on them that wants to full send like potentially elite esports,
for now they're okay. Back for a check-in with Team Vision.
I cannot wait to see how this zone plays.
With Xero calling, holding this northeastern side, rotating from cliffside, it could be brutal.
If this zone ends up continuously pulling towards the south by Stormcatcher.
Jua does it pop back. We've seen crazy bounce backs.
Alliance who recently just got a reset.
They brought one back to a team of three.
15 points.
You think about a normal game for Alliance, they can do that.
But 15 points has them in 11th place.
And there's so many teams that it could eclipse match point here.
Zeddy who recently just did it last match.
He said he could be a game-changing team here to get a win on land.
Think of how close he said they have been before, Vicky.
Literally.
Especially Duke.
Literally with the opted title, right?
Imagine how beautiful that would seem as Skittles is.
Ducks, I mean the script just writes itself Zeta.
They're a one point away, they can finish him off.
They will also be at max point, but with the side by side,
now Elite move up and they may help him.
They get the crowd following up,
savory, finding henchmen and light to find Albert Lely.
Did our brains to see that this not goes through
because Regen are crawling in from right behind them.
Do Zeta get involved in this?
They're doing really well to only invest a bit.
Well, then the 1v1, they swing light.
10 HP through the knockdown that he cannot cover it.
A leading force is down and out
and Zeta have hit 50 points.
Welcome to the match point club Zeta. We welcome another one
They did the job this game around and now fate is out of their hands
With the outcome of these teams that are holding final zone spot a
Moment to settle in and focus
Zeta was holding storm capture for a long time and was Satuki there on the sparrow
We finally get that full. We go to 51. We drop the rolling thunder. We must get
Satuki who has been so valuable to play alongside Yuka
It's looking so crazy because you need the information you need the tractor darts
And wolves also need this KP if they try to fully send this
I mean they were at 42 after when we saw them on the hillside deal with sentinels before
If you get the res, they do put in the pressure with you having the nemesis in hand, but the
fact that this zone is pulling to the north side, we see that pile up towards team vision,
where Liquid had taken the fight versus SAUO who have cleared the northeastern side to
reiterate AG though, who still cannot get a single point on the board after getting 47
and President Ianya trying to stay alive before dropping down.
He does manage to survive.
Oh, the finish line, the cell on the low ground.
He's in the sky, he's getting clicked.
He's trying to get back to the line ground,
and they follow.
AG Global will not reach match point.
Los Amigos are not in this game,
and now all have to look on.
As Vision with still four blues taking their time.
They have the ammo, which is important.
They have the light arsenal right next to me too,
but it's not like they're gonna be able to take advantage
of that, right?
But they're at least denying the info
of the survey being given from the other teams,
as they are not going to be moving from this building,
playing to their cop with the catalyst.
And Team Vision are still in the coveted God spot.
They are in Lightning Rod.
They chose this in their POI draft.
Could this been a $600,000 choice for them?
It depends here.
Rosetti now in trouble, though,
or see looking to get a bow,
you're refighting, yelling, only one left.
Rosetti, it's up to Deeds.
Moving back, playing off the knockout shield.
It's looking scary with a single bow.
He gets it, that's not up, that's a full roof up.
But it's hard when you gotta worry about the barrel seats.
He was alive for them now and they go out in 13th.
Another one of our match point teams are out of this lobby.
A-Pack North are the slaughterers of our match point teams.
You have to highlight that, Zach,
with his amazing IGL skills has been pointed
that Team Liquid is this team that they're pinning.
They know that if Liquid pushes then, it could be Cardens
trying to harass and prevent them from getting
into that next zone.
That's why it's only up to Zac to move up.
He's waiting in the next 40 seconds
when this ring closes in to perhaps send out the bangle.
The only team on the north side of the next circle.
Our utility is as follows.
Loder has two ulti cells, Zac has one,
and we are saving our ultimates for the next fight.
So long as Team Liquid doesn't push to usurp that.
But what does Team Liquid have?
It's a mere comp, aside from the fact
that Team Liquid has Sparrow and Vision has Valk.
It's time to play big here, as Falcons
lost out on Waltzy.
That's not what you want to see.
As the Falcons have clipped their own wings here,
moving up as a duo, ring-closing in,
and Hal pushes up together with Gild.
It's gonna be hard as Zeta try to take two the skies up and he back and he does get destroyed at the hands of Wolf great awareness
They take the gravity cannon
It's the Hail Mary attempt to stay alive now as the zone closes in out vision
Go have to look up to clear their boat building and the missile swarms coming in from vision
We have to move and how after the gravity cannon loses out on guilt a solo Bangalore underneath
Thunder watch and Zeta and Wolf still have to move and look at saying he's
taking just angles they know someone's underneath them Mike on the ground you
go on the replicator Wolves at their back and Falcons get eliminated you can
stay in the line place up to visions with RQ who had pushed up this is a green
light for team Liquid but panic is at least a lot of syrup on to make it
Two Masspoint teams are here. Zeta is down and out. Vision, Team Liquid and RRQ are in the north.
And with Zero last standing for Team Liquid, he's out of here! Vision are alive in the north!
All the Masspoint team, Masspoint and one Team, Vision trying to keep this alive. The only team left on Masspoint as Wolves
get eliminated. Vision are looking with a 3 in sight.
But a new challenger emerges.
NIP and RRQ are still showing presence.
But 64% of the time that Teen Vision hits top 10,
they get top 5.
But Jack is down and Cole is here.
He's healthy.
They know.
They know the decision.
They fully said that.
Horder phone backing themselves up breaks out their thorn.
And he passed the yellow line.
We fell next.
We get four eighths.
Vision get eliminated.
RRQ still not showing face. It's thanks to NIP and Unlimit.
Once again, now move up. Talk about timing our final six quads.
RRQ on match point. Unlimit. Your prior match winners looking to join them.
Yulari man the Messiah and peace and exuvia alongside him. Through the Puerto Rico.
We negative rotate out to the back of Thunderwatch. We push all of the teams in.
With RRQ being at match point, we welcome more.
Can it be half the lobby is the question?
With Unlimit still being alive with 46 total points
to their name.
We'll find now also looking to restabilize the RRQ
after hitting that point.
Now they're looking down at the teams that
will be forced to move up towards Lightning Rod.
As you can see, Unlimit needs four points to reach match point.
But four teams outside the top ten are still in it.
The infinite ammo L-star.
We saw what it did for Unlimit in that last match,
and they take it to RRQ!
And they get it to 50 points!
Singapore is absolutely deleted,
but you Laurie Mann does go down.
Unlimit, three points away,
as Soobie does end up popping the shield back.
Looking to get this rest, they hear the nades.
As now they try to make a move,
as Soobie trying to give them suppress fire,
looking behind, making sure they con.
But they swing them at the right time, RRQ!
a pair of six bites, slowing him, leaving only peace.
Peace, the rampart, to face off against the sparrow.
The empty covers are down.
We shield swap, it's not enough.
52 HP, and we dive away as four fun calls.
Unlimited to join them, and RRQ the duo in the north.
RRQ playing out of their minds, pricey and easy flash.
Each have 12 KP over the course of these last eight games alone.
Look at the stand-up as they're getting the rest.
The Vale now pulled up so they have some safety
out of the blind side of the teams that now have to move up.
Bring back Grafing Flame.
Now back to the full form, the med kit going off.
The Dark Vale about to be done.
It's Enter Force 36, Reject and GK on the other side,
two APAC North teams.
Enter Force 36 on your screen,
and Juzna locked into the Amped cover trying to find a setup.
Do we start moving towards the middle
to lay siege to Reject the moment they move?
The car before the storm has a spinal ring
now starts closing in,
but RRQ are going to harass E36, Reject, and UK.
These teams need a miracle though
to try to find some of that mad point.
Not a lot of bodies here,
but RRQ, this is how you kick these off and E36,
say hello to my little friend out there, Sheila.
as they're walking off with the rampart.
Just looking behind them too because they know RQ just have clear light of sight.
But how many times have we seen GK play rampart? It's usually Pion.
And they're not. We have Cat Sparrow Wraith on the other side.
We're eating the bullets from Sheila.
And this is the way to keep all that damage to multiple teams.
Jezus has given me another one right here.
While taking flame now, actually goes and harasses them in the back.
The beautiful follow-up with the Thermite to also get the knock-up to Ubley.
They're completely taking over this final five here,
with these last four squads.
It's gonna be E36 now looking at GK.
While Reject now clear up RRQ, but it's fine.
The job is done.
They already got over to the 50-point threshold.
E36 though, they want the dump.
Two squads left, E36, go!
Basic and Reject, and it is Reject!
After clearing Kingdom of the Hill against RRQ,
all your Game 8 champions and the curse stays alive.
We get more Apex, we welcome more teams,
almost half the lobby at 50 points.
I told you earlier that the APAC North teams
are the slaughterers of our match point teams
and reject inching themselves closer to 50 of their own.
Arufa, who after retirement, has come back to competitive play.
Joined by your Reese, who has been playing ALG
since the beginning, and he's back in comp.
Those boys just got us one more game.
The emotions are high and this is what match point finals is all about.
What a game for reject 13 Kp after taking that win.
They're so close to it.
They needed that with four to six total points in their pocket.
They are within the top 10.
H and Klopo though are stuck.
Have not been able to get the extra KP
that they needed for like two games in a row.
If it doesn't close out here,
we are gonna have like half the lobby on match point.
And Axis there from Reject
had a positive damage differential there.
Tied for almost the most damage on Reject
that game with a Rufa.
13 kills.
And as we look back to the top four.
We may get a run back of what happened last year,
and we may be going a distance.
And I am complaining when it comes
to seeing some more good Apex legends.
You get to see how that fight went down too.
After moving up back on the high ground,
we saw Reed that they split their attention
to take care of RRQ.
They close up the rest of the lobby.
They cleaned up.
It was left on the other side of the fence line.
And we see how unlimited we're so close to themselves.
They're at what, 48 points before they
had gone down before too.
But it's Falcons now.
Zeta after that game, by the way.
RRQ as well, Team Liquid, Zeti, Vision, and Sentinels,
all beyond 50 points.
Please give me a Yuka FWIN.
Like, do you know how we've been waiting for that?
Yuka FWIN, all the roster iterations
we've seen hailing from APAC North,
but the match results reject with a 25 point game.
Enter Force 36, who was at the bottom of the leaderboard,
needed all of those points,
but our match point teams, Falcon, Zeddy, Sentinels,
Stormpoint wasn't it.
Imagine Yuka, and what if it was the buildup,
leaving Fnatic and now building up with Zeta?
Plot twist, Vicky's the script writer.
Sorry guys, that's why I never lost.
She can't write herself an end game call
on match point finals, but that's it.
It doesn't work like that, it doesn't work like that.
I can't put myself in the script,
that's just how it works with the overall rankings.
On your screens, just look at this.
Seven teams at match point easily could welcome half the lobby into this next game
It really depends on how game nine plays out looking on the other end though wolfs
Putting a stop in that previous game to set noles on that hillside
It's the wrist though, and it was an unfortunate zone for even when you look at what happened to Falcons
You know regard to the point where when you look at that leaderboard
Anyone can make it happen
The Sentinels know that, they know they have to GG go next, just like a lot of our other
teams.
But guys, as you already know it when it comes to match point finals, we get some more APEC.
Don't go anywhere, because we got game number nine coming to you soon.
We were there for every click, every clutch, every respawn.
We were there for the years of grind, and we're here.
Now.
proud founding partner of EWC, powering the biggest event in gaming, shoulder to shoulder
with the world's best. Making history. Greatness deserves a stage. Lenovo Legion, reach your
impossible.
All right, I am hanging out with Riley and Cole here. Obviously, Monsoon's gorgeous
fiancee and Cole actually want you to tell people at home a little bit about your origin
story and how you became friends with Monsoon.
Yeah, so Monsoon and I became friends through Riley actually and we actually became roommates.
We were roommates for the first Japan chance.
We would spend out hot pot and eat big sushi.
Just really one of the best friends I've ever had
and just no greater guy out there.
I mean, I could out of here anymore.
You know, we all love Ma on here on the show.
Now Riley, I just kind of want to get your perspective
really quickly on what it would mean
because now one of the first teams on match point,
Sentinels, we could get a back to back victory
for this squad.
Like, what would that do?
I think just prove what we already know is that he is good enough and the team is good enough and with consistency
you will see good performances and I think the other two boys are like some of the best
You know around and they're like the best players and the best personalities and we we love them so much
So we only want them to just keep doing better every time
I think this is a team that a lot of people are pulling for cold tell me about kind of what it's been just being able
to be a part of this experience here at EWC in Paris this time around EWC 2026.
It's been absolutely unreal. Just the environment of ALGS is just unexplainable. It's akin to
just like any playoff sport and I don't even have the words when I say that. I mean that.
It's next level. Are you ready to see a back-to-back win here or a Sentinels win here at ALGS at
WC 2026? There's nothing all more and I know they can do it. There's no better team in North America right now
Sentinels will win this
Everybody any huge shower to Dark Angel from Navi? We have our first champion here at the eSports World Cup
2026 over on Fatal Fury. It's Dark Angel from Navi who wins it
And that's always a lovely feeling to put your key up on that totem.
That club championship already starting to get a little bit spicy as the pace has been set.
Who from Apex Legends can put their key in that trophy and start to add points to their own club?
Can it be the current club champions team Falcons?
We'll have to find out, but a massive congratulations over at Facebook.
A huge moment, of course. Such a wonderful moment to be able to lift that trophy above your head.
Again, a huge congratulations to Navi on that big win.
Now, let's turn our attention back to the stage here.
Let's turn our attention back to some Apex legends
because we've got a trophy of our own
that needs to be claimed.
Now, we always say that when we talk about match point,
it feels like if you hit match point,
you get one opportunity to close out.
Sentinels had that chance.
It slipped through their fingers.
team vision had that chance, and it slipped through their fingers.
Will it happen again to one of our match point teams, or will we see a trophy being lifted?
Well, this is where you ask me, who is the next team that will get that opportunity?
Well, if you look towards the statistics, Worlds Edge has been heavily favoured by Team Liquid.
They are the far best, far superior team that we've seen so far this tournament on this map,
and one of the only teams on match point
that has been able to find a win on World's Edge.
The only other squad that has found a win on World's Edge
that's on match point, Team Falcons.
Couldn't have said that better myself.
Yeah, couldn't have said it better, like you say.
Liquid vs. Falcons is a story that,
even if you don't try and force it,
it finds a way to the front of the stories
when we get into the Apex Legends Global Series.
We are closing in on match number nine.
And as you quite rightly said,
a change of scenery here as well.
The chance of one more game echoed around Paris,
and it was delivered.
The real question is,
are we going to see anyone step up to the plate?
Also, I just want to correct myself.
I could say World's Edge.
We're snake drafting.
It is going to be storm point here,
point here. So I do apologize.
And that changes everything, by the way, because the statistics still apply when we get some
words in. But we'll stay on top of the conversation here on Stormpoint. Like you say, the
State Draft takes us back through. But for Falcons and Liquid, you just can't get away
from that storyline. Well, now I can tell you who's been good at Stormpoint. Now I know
the map is going to be. Zeta Division have three wins so far this tournament on Stormpoint. Vision
have two, Liquid have two. So maybe they are going to be the three teams that keep an eye on going
into this one because all three of those teams are of course on match point. A total of seven teams
now with the chance to win this entire thing right here right now. And as we're going deeper into
the games, deeper into the series, legend bands start to rear their head in a way that a lot of
teams quite simply unable to prepare for. We're going to see some very interesting compositions.
A lot of Bangalore in the lobby. Stormpoint leans itself, of course, to the strength of Bangalore.
A little bit of Caustic in there as well. We've got Rampart. We've got Sparrow.
Caustic as well, and a little sprinkling of Pathfinder as well. The compositions are getting
wacky, and as for where the zone is going, one match point team is going to be very, very happy.
that is Zeddy Esports, Zeddy Esports with a fantastic priority to this one.
Just checking to see whether they actually have a ring console to work with,
though that's going to be the real question, but Enterforce 36, they do at launch pad,
so they're going to move fast. Now RRQ, another team who have found themselves on match point,
have a little bit of a journey to go until they find themselves to the southeast side of the map
here. Look at S8 UL as well, they're moving pretty quickly. Perhaps they could be one of the teams
that keep us going into match check. Interesting. I don't think that Zeddy did have a ring console
down at Devastated Coast, but the fact that Enter Force 36 haven't left and they're seeing teams arriving
gives them the information that they are going to need to find a priority position to play.
Look at some of the other teams that have a long way to go. Team Falcons over at Barometer,
they've got to rotate to make all the way down to the south. Team Liquid pretty good prior to this
zone as well. As it looks like we're going to have a little pause here before we get back into the
the game. I don't know if
we can get a little bit of the
action, but. Just taking a
little look at some of the other
teams that have got to make a
long way towards this zone. On
that north side team vision
from Elrod. Now one of the
reasons that Elrod is such a
popular pick when you look at
the P. L. I Draft so often on
Storm Point is your ability to
go from the high ground to the
low ground so often, they're
going to have to do that for
the entirety of their journey
the game. It's been a very
interesting just during the
breaks being able to see the
players. Toddled off to the
bathroom, of course, but just
have that moment to. A little
think how they're going to
approach this next one. Now we're
at match nine. Endurance comes
very much into it. Even though
these players, I'm sure of that
endless nights playing right
day. Legends and tournaments
you can see in the game. It's
a very different. And whilst it
may be a very different fatigue
that you may see in traditional
sports, boy, can I tell you it
is very mentally taxing going
this deep into a tournament.
Still with the unknown of
whether the game is going to end
right here right now, whether
you keep going as a reminder
back in 2024. We went to 13
games. Of course, match point
threshold was 60. Then. Last
match night. And if one of those teams don't close out, of course, look at how close so many teams are to joining the match point
collective. You've got wolves on 46. You've got RC on 46, AG on 47 and Unlimit. You just have a knack, by the way.
Yalari man especially, of keeping match point lobbies going. There are 48, just two points away. You can even look down to
You can even look down to Alliance, the SAQL, they're still in striking distance, but the game is back live, match 9, score point.
And when we look across all the teams that are on match point, and how many wins they've been able to find,
a team that has been unable to find a win this entire time is RRQ.
It really would be something if their first tournament win comes here in match point finals to win the whole damn thing.
the team. There's a long old
journey just yet. Now a lot of
these teams are on the northern
side. They're gonna be moving a
little bit slower prioritizing
getting those evos stacked up.
But Zeddy who were here first.
They've laid down the foundations
of what they would like to call
home. It does pull down to the
south, which I'm kind of
expecting it to move towards the
position of Zeddy sports. They
are in a fantastic point. Very
difficult to force a team way
a little bit further to the south of Devastated Coast, but they won't be safe down there and are already being pressured by Team Liquid.
So even though the job was done in the previous game to hit match point,
staying alive and winning a much different proposition.
And interestingly, Data Division R are winning this team in the lobby as well.
They found the most victories so far this tournament.
Ouch.
They are struggling to stay up right now as they are being pressured by a couple of teams, Team Liquid being one of them.
Powerbooster here on Zero's Bangalore, so he's going to be able to have those smokes back nice and quickly as well.
Really, really vital to make sure that if you find one of those params, you're using it effectively.
As we look at the kill feed, and Yuka has just gone down, so Panic gets the pick for Team Liquid in that fight.
that fight, so we check in with another team on match point, Falcons. Now, they took their
time getting here, Dan, but I'm sure the rest of the lobby took a kind of a collective
gasp of air when they saw that Falcons had hit match point. It feels different when
this roster hits match point. We're going to hit the pause as well just to make sure
all the players are comfortable when everything is set. It's okay, crowd, get a little bit
the game. We're going to be
back there. Don't you worry. I
don't want to take a note of the
legend that had been banned in
the previous as well. Catalyst
was taken away from the game,
and we saw how impactful
catalyst was in match eight that
completely changes the dynamic
of a final circle without those
dark veils impacting anything.
As eyes turned towards the teams
that could potentially keep us
going to match 10 here on set.
It seems like unlimited who only
two points away from that
have been dominating every single engagement that they force themselves upon. Still yet
to win a match as well, by the way. I will say in the tournament, maybe they're saving
the best till last. And then you do have teams that have found wins. You've got alliance
down in the bottom 10 at the moment. I haven't been able to find that victory. NIP who is
still down towards the bottom as well. Even enter force 36 in Nemesis, teams that could
find wins if the opportunity presents itself to them. And you quite rightly alluded to
the fact that when that opportunity comes your way, you have to make it count. Sentinels unable to do so.
Vision couldn't do it either. Will they get another chance? Because it feels like this one now is being passed over to Zeddy.
It's one of those situations, I think, where you get tested something, you know, about your personality, about your mentality as a leader,
as being part of one of those teams who knows that the opportunity was there. You could feel it.
That you were going to be $600,000 better off by winning this tournament.
How do you respond to that is the question so many times we see teams just fall away knowing that that was the opportunity
That was their moment and they weren't able to grasp it
Being able to bounce back from that is a skill in itself
And I think it's a skill you have to have as a human as a person as opposed to what you can do in game
It takes great resilience and you really have to take a look at yourselves and just say look
We've seen enough apex legends tournaments. We know it's not always one that quickly
you can't let it slip. You can't
let it slip. You can't let it
slip quickly. Perhaps we will
get another opportunity. You just
have to keep focused. Make sure
that when it does come around
again, if it does come around
again, you can't let it slip a
second time. The players now this
pause. I said it was a chance
for a breather before, but now
the nerves that had a little bit,
but there you go. Chairs back up.
some keyfights starting to develop in some of these areas of the map on people and teams that are on their rotations as well.
Especially around Cascade Falls and Stormcatcher, the in-between.
A lot of squads are starting to move through that joke.
Well, here we go then, everyone. The pause is over and we are back playing.
Game number nine continues as we jump on board with RRQ on match point.
But when you look at their win column in this tournament, there is a zero there. No better time than now.
A lot of second places and we can look back at some replays as well.
This was liquid, just making it difficult for some of these teams trying to get up to the high ground.
Thanks a freak. I'm going to sound that.
But you are right. If RRQ can find that victory point, with their first one of all tournament tastes even sweeter.
And the crazy thing is, even though we're in match nine, we have seven teams on match point, it still feels like there is a huge possibility we keep going further with how tight this lobby has been.
Also, you got a limit in the lobby.
The boogeyman. When it comes to match point teams, how many dreams have been broken? Take yourself back to Sapporo.
You know, Larry man was doing it to keep the apex flowing. Oops
I'm gonna have to hit portal here
They try and make their way through
One of these jokes towards the waterfall just outside of launch pad
So Steve is gonna be
Saying to his teammates follow me things are safe over here
But the rotate in looking a little bit more difficult team Falcons over at pylon at the moment
They're gonna walk up to that hillside in a few moments. I'm probably play from there
They're doing pyjamas on them, now it's a find a pick from distance.
Tyler's going to be going down, but the fact that it's from distance you don't expect.
That's to be carried into a point.
Falcon's probably waiting to gain information from Pylon as well before they move.
They have a little bit of extra info of where that zone's going to be going,
but I think a couple of other teams were thinking the same thing.
So Pylon might become contested shortly.
It's for fun who were on the receiving end of this damage previously,
but they've been able to stabilize and they can sit here for a little bit.
As NIP do not force the fight,
as our aggressive all-gamers global start to move through the map.
Who's going to be the next target?
A limiter on one side,
wolves the other as the Fades don't comes out for a rotation.
And you get a little bit closer to the end game, a little bit closer to where they need
to play.
Having the rampart in the composition as well is going to allow them to get a little bit
of cover down to play these rocks a little bit more successfully and almost as importantly
defend it.
I get that a little bit of extra damage that's going to be coming from standing behind those
walls.
the team. They're going to
have to go through the
team. They continue to rep
towards echo HQ. As alliance
take a more direct route from
the pile on side. Over towards
dead coast. Obviously got the
ability to see where some of
these players are going to be
as well. So they can pick and
choose where they want to try
and set up for this end game,
the team. They're going to go
back to the side of the zone now.
It feels like there wasn't
enough playable space for them,
so they're going to go the
hard way, and it's going to be
underneath Zeta because that is
not in zone. Neither are team
liquid. Hope for a couple of the
only several do imagine to try
and get that back to try and get
off a little bit later. That's
what we're looking at. That's
where the zone is going to be
going. That's where our teams
as the zone closes in behind
the game is going to take
place. The ZD sports have
priority to zone. They find
themselves in a good spot.
Enter force 36 in a good
position as well. Team vision
starting to make their move
from the north after they
gained the ring information
from command center. But their
path in unless they decide
they're going to go up into the
sky as well. They're going to
get held out by the likes of AG
global. Back towers are very
much needed for some of these
teams, especially those who are
of this main building inside.
of where we saw a couple of
teams stacked up against each
other.
One of those being for fun a
little bit earlier and I wonder
if they're looking to take this
fight and flush for fun out.
Sinetic is down, which gives the
indication that that was the
glow signal to hit the gas and
try and push and capitalize and
clear them out of the building.
Worms, the entry points to hit
match point.
And after that, if they've
They managed to do so, it's about denying everybody else in the lobby.
Another one of our teams who has four wins, being one of the most winning against teams in this lobby, is Wolves.
So they are definitely...
Oh, here's a linguine that could play spoiler.
Liquid surrounded at the moment by elite esports.
The bang-off from Zero has brought them a little bit of time, but Hedgeman up on the height on the barfinder.
He's going to be continually harassing them.
Light's going to fly in, Zero's down, the trades come in though.
Hedgeman's going to peek.
goes back up to that high ground.
That's Panic and Sykes have to try and clutch a 2v2
to keep Liquid in this game.
It's all up to you, Panic.
Hedgeman versus Panic.
It's kind of still alive as well.
Panic has to try and get out of this situation.
And I don't know if he's going to be able to.
1HP, Liquid staring down the barrel.
Liquid are gone.
A match point chance slips through their fingers.
as a lead. Our winners of the group stages, the dominant force that almost hit 200 points
from the group stages. Maybe they'll be the team to keep us going as vision now they continue
on their journey. I said it was potentially going to be a difficult one. They actually
went for a full wrap on the eastern side. This is a Zack Mazer special and now they
can gain a little bit of info by a sparrow if they would like and it's E36 who are going
to be the target. I said E36 were in a good spot. Vision might take it away from them.
Of course, taking in the composition is going to allow them to force the space themselves.
And the sky name from Carter is going to create the opportunities for them to take even more
space in. Mages in pajamas though. You've just pointed. They're wrapping cars, watching
their back though. And all of a sudden Vision under pressure from two sides. They are pitched
and Zack is so so weak. They have the info from the Sparrow arrow. The story gets triggered
And they suddenly panicked and turned around, but they happened up to stabilise, and actually, I think with the arrow hitting NIP,
they've decided to back off. It's not worth taking that flight.
It would have been a very difficult one to win.
This vision now will be able to hold this spot, but it means enter force 36, of course, reset.
Call that a sparrow arrow, where I come from.
Elite now moving onto RRQ, and RRQ have lost easy flash.
And it feels like Elite at the moment are taking up the mantle of giving us some more apex.
Strafing Flane trying to survive. Can't jump into the void. The only thing it looks like
he didn't be able to jump into is the spectator's screen. As he is the last chance for RRQ to
stay alive. Jumping into a mortal. After jumping in the void, but RRQ have gone next. The match
point teams are falling like dominoes. The Grim Reaper's of the lobby are elite esports.
Are they coming to life at just the right time here? Zed Division have also lost one.
Alliance are starting to press them here, but a lot of damage has been done back.
But then without this star boy, Yuka right now.
Yuka down, it's time for Mike and Satuki to take the front seat.
To stand under the spotlight here, plus the individual.
Alliance are flying though.
Nothing they can do, another match point team is out.
They are dropping like flies, but now we have to take a look.
Elsewhere on the map, the team Falcons are also being pressed.
GK trying to rip another match point team away from this lobby.
He'll get the knock.
How should be able to reset here and get this back done?
He'll try to hold.
He'll get taken down even though he hits Flesh.
All of a sudden it's a 2v2 here. Armored Vantage still on the hands of Falcons.
And that's GK done. Falcons win their most important fight of the entire tournament so far.
So they are resilient.
Nemesis are here though.
to the right. Did they know? Perhaps they may be on the run. Yes, Falcons are going to run. They've got word that there's going to be another squad. I do also want to congratulate Walter on his 1000th career assist with that one as well. But I'm sure right now he just wants to know, aren't we going to survive. One team at the moment, who is in prime position, is one of our match point teams. If you're wondering who it is, it is the team that no one was talking about. Zeddy Esports, a bang centre of zone.
And what a story that would be that being said vision or also on the eastern side of zone
Alliance are there as well to try and disrupt things as well are the grim reapers and the e-sports
But Falcons survive for now. We're sadly nemesis are very much holding them here. This could get ugly
I don't really know what Falcons could do here. The e-sports have been eliminated in the meantime
Falcons have to force it. That's to be a straight 2v3
Zone is forcing everyone forward. Nemesis being one of those teams.
Safe and secure damage, we've got that battle.
And he's spotted out, Walsing.
Somehow Falco's are alive here.
But with the zone in their back and everybody looking, and Skiddlecatch with a Crabop.
Now it's up to the CEO to put off the impossible.
Not gonna happen.
The funny course eliminated.
Alliance will fall as well.
As Sentinels, they're here.
And they won a second shot at this. Vision also won that fight against Alliance on the eastern side.
So two of our match point teams winning their engagements staying in this one.
The third match point team, you rightly pointed that out.
Look at it on that minimap. Zeddy Esports, prime position.
This is the best chance they may get to win this whole tournament.
There's definitely teams that can play spoiler.
Vision might try and take the fight against them.
But they hold so much space, so much power in the current position they hold.
and they have the core stick which is very important going into this final zone.
The issue is armor. Vizion certainly have better armor in that fight and it will
have to take place at some point. RC 50 points on the board for their what an
incredible incredible run it would be for these three. Wolves still need the two
to hit match point. This lobby is on a knife edge at the moment.
the game. As nemesis, just try
and scout out. See if there's
anywhere they can go. All the
meanwhile, RC did hit match
point. They crossed the 50 point
threshold. And as you mentioned,
unlimited one point away. Wolves
two points away. Ag two points
away. If it doesn't end here, we
may well have 10 plus teams on
match point going into match
check. Sentinels aren't safe in
forward. And S-H-U-L, I think, are inside of the little bunker underneath the bridge.
Fon's going to line up Sheila.
Pocsikov goes in. That's going to have Sentinels.
S-H-U-L trying to give us some more apex legends here, but it looks like Fon and Blitzer.
Even though Monsoon is down, a foul, a corner to reset because AG are now moving in.
They need the points to hit, Matt's point. AG's melt blood.
Maybe Sentinels can resend here.
And they are in zone here.
Sentinels lift, but they're being pitched.
They are being pressured.
But Thermite is searing.
As Blinkster tries to force away S8 UL, it's not going to happen.
Thor asked for a little bit of help from Sheila.
But down to two now.
Deathbots red, deathbots red, deathbots red, no.
No, Sparrow-O-O will deny it, but maybe you can get that Rampard wall down and go for it again.
They want Blinkster back in this game.
They're sticking this one.
SAUR are terrified of AG. They don't want to push.
Blinkster, he got back in the game, but he was taken down almost immediately.
But he might be out of cruel to the loving arms of his teammates.
And of course, 86 are eliminated in the meantime. Sentinels will not die.
They do not want to let another opportunity pass here.
And they have defended so well as reject to do go down. Remember, they did cross that match point threshold on limit
Just hit 51 as well. So they will also be eligible if we get there and send make their move
Can they find somewhere to pull home? Yeah, they are safe for now
But now they've been pressured from the team on the staircase that's gonna be unlimited
Who are looking to take another scalp of the match point team?
over to the other side of zone this is unlimited staring at Sentinels that
building the Sentinels currently resided is broken it is bruised but that's been
the story of Sentinels game for the last 60 seconds and they are still standing
and most importantly unlimited still standing as well they were the ones who
stopped Sentinels winning last time and they might just do it again here
That one's gone down.
Sentinel's quite literally with their backs against the wall.
And AG Global's swinging on to the monsoon.
It's a last stand from Sentinels.
Monsoon pops the bat, but it's not going to be enough.
Another match point team will fall, and AG hit match point.
And we are down to just two.
It's Vision make their way in, but Zeddy, they've lost two.
It's Vision who actually got the KP.
Xenia down! It is just vision and they only have two remaining!
The idea was down! Carter's in the void!
And we've blown to the last man standing!
We get more apex!
We go out to match 10 as vision eliminated. All of our match point teams are gone, but
now it's a battle. Can anyone else reach match point? We turn to NIP and to Nemesis. If they
can put a win plus kills on the board, maybe they'll join the rest of the lobby. We are
going to have 11 teams on match point as it stands. It's called taking damage. Under pressure,
Can get those barrels up which might just help them reset.
Colts down, Nijima Jama is eliminated.
Four squads remain.
Wall is down on the low ground.
The only team right now who is not on match point eligible, I should say,
is Nemesis.
It's team Nemesis.
And they're about to get absolutely peppered here.
Strap yourselves in, folks.
Match 10 on the horizon.
And now we can just enjoy some bloody good apex.
The King of the Naita.
The Boogie Man of Matchpoint stands tall for Unlimit.
Yolari Man finds one or two no-name.
Wolves, A-sports eliminated, we're down to just three.
To Nemesis solo, it is still alive, but it would need kills plus placement to be able to find Nemesis crossing 50.
It's very unlikely, even if it is the young star himself, sacred,
but perhaps about to meet his demise as Unlimit have spotted him and there they go.
Unlimited versus AG here in the final circle.
And Yallari-man's got a Craver.
It feels like we're primed for an unlimited win, but if there's one team
who likes to pull things out of the bag, it's AG down on this low ground.
But Yallari-man, with the Stinger Bolt,
flushes our AG,
claims another victim.
And I wonder if it's going to go for something fancy here.
Put on a show for us.
Hold your breath.
Listen, he's going to have to reload.
Yanya down.
It's Unlimit's time to celebrate.
As we keep this tournament going here in Paris.
Unlimit, do it again.
And it just felt like we were always going to another one with how those match point teams were dropping over and over again
They were being hunted down. It felt like all this is if they had a target on their back
But as the entire arena once more chanted one more game
That's what they're rewarded with here and what everyone watching at home is as well
Being treated to more apex is only a good thing
Wherever you're watching right now, this is Apex Legends.
And this is Matchpoint. It never disappoints.
And now, heading into match 10, we will have 11 squads on Matchpoint.
Over 50% in the lobby with a chance to win this tournament here.
but we still have teams like Alliance, Nemesis, Elite Esports, Ninjas in Pajamas, S8UL, Gaming Gladiators.
I could name them all because they could all keep us going to match 11 here.
Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
At this point you think we'd be used to it, but you never get used to it.
It always surprises you. They're the match results that we've just seen play out in front of us.
of us on the on top 21 points for them 9 kp alongside the 12 80 global got the
points they needed to hit match point but they're in red they are your match
point teams or at least some of them that went down extremely early in that
game
so much match point teams we have to go to a second page just to see them all
I mean, as a viewer, as a fan, as a commentator, this is all you can ask for.
Because it is the unknown. It's how far will we go? Who can seize that opportunity?
Whether it is a fortunate zone pool or whether it is making sure you clutch up at that very moment,
only one team gets to lift that trophy.
Well, not that one. That's the key.
to see who is going to lift
that trophy. We're going to
have to wait a few more moments
to find out the Algs split one
playoffs at EWC 26 will continue
after this.
The limit gets a chance to step up and get that win.
And with that win, they push themselves all the way up to third place with 69 points, but
We actually have to rewind this knife because on game 7 it felt like Sentinels was gonna be able to win
But we were talking about teams changing their playing style. It seems like that's what happened with Sentinels
Yeah, I mean Sentinels put themselves in an insane position to win the game and they all they had to do is they played passive
They only left with two kills. That's what they wanted
They have the spot to win the game and I don't know what went wrong. They play support on it seemed like things just went chaotic
I think it looked like Monty might have gotten kidnapped by his own teammate
At one point, he took it, they got eliminated,
and we have not seen them play the same since this last game.
They were in a great spot.
There were some open spots in front of them
when they saw the zone pull.
They couldn't move forward.
They decided to sit still.
They didn't clear their back.
They could have taken the room right next to them
that we saw them trying to fight for over and over
and over with Rampart.
And it just seems like they're starting
to play a little passive.
They're trying to let, they're trying to be reactive.
They are reactive instead of being proactive,
which is what you need to win this tournament.
I mean, we've seen people doing too much,
and we've seen people doing nothing and letting the game play them.
You need to find that sweet spot that's been making their place at the right moment
because at some point people are just flooding in from the same side.
Everything is collapsing. It was like five teams from the north-western side
and at that point you're just getting shot by absolutely everybody.
And I mean Team Vision has been able to position themselves really good in the zones.
They just really haven't been able to close it out but this squad,
if they were able to close it out, they would end the day with three wins,
which is honestly it's insane considering teams like RRQ haven't even gotten a win yet.
Yeah, I mean you find these teams they have their opportunity to win it on match point format and
I feel like I've said this in the past you get one chance and one opportunity if you haven't taken
it you know such as Sentinels even Team Vision like you have this opener to win it all but
now I think the pressure and everything like that is setting in for these teams and I'm kind of
with the crowd though one more look and I did say 14 matches what do you guys say
eight seven I said nine I thought that was a day eight to ten is what I said
but that's like like a bra there's like a 90% hit rate so a little bit too much
to say ten but yeah it's definitely it's gonna go off a while but 11 teams out of
20s now on match point and I think honestly I said it in the room as well
I think Falco's my take it. I don't know. I'm just feeling it. I'm feeling it. It's coming
I don't know why it's just there. It's gonna soar
I mean usually you have those players being able to step up we saw the passion out of Imperial howl earlier
Yeah on today, too
Is that one of the reasons why you think especially going into the 10th match that Falcons might be able to take it?
Yeah, I mean we always say it's like all of these people are under pressure and nobody in this entire
Well not counting other games of course nobody in this lobby right now knows pressure as much as Hal does
He has had a target on his back the entirety of his career ever since the old old old days
And if anybody knows how to do it during these stressful moments, it's in yeah
I think something to point out for him honestly what we've seen so far is every one of the teams that has been a match point
You know the Zeddy's yeah, you know
It's the all these teams have had a circle that has put them in a position to win the game vision had a great spot that last game
And everyone's collapsing on them Falcons back to back games
They've been a match point have had to go across the entire map
They've had to fight their way and they have not been in a position to actually get a zone to put a minute
So I think that's the last thing you wanted
You don't want to give them an inch because they will take it all okay graceful with the Hawkins pick right there
How about you lays out of all this teams and there's still one more in the second page?
What do you think is gonna surprise us here in game 10 and maybe close it out via match point?
Yeah, look it needs to be team vision, you know, I feel like they are setting it up for this right
And we've heard it from Zach himself like this is this is their moment
they are setting in, but I also just have this sneaky suspicion.
Wolves, Esports might be tickling on up in there.
And the reason that I do say that is because they were obviously super
proactive in the start of match point format.
And then they have that little break, but this is the snowball team I talk about.
Now that they're getting their footing again, no name going to go crazy.
I mean, previously in 2024, we ended up going to 13 games.
You can tell Alliance is close by.
Some of the other squads are close by.
You were talking about players graceful in regards that are used to this kind of pressure one player that comes to mind's night
Has to be zero and they are also a team that's been in match point. Yeah
I mean team liquid they had a slow start there in 19th
Then they had some really really really good games back to back and it's put them in a position
But we saw it in that last game
It just seemed like there was something that they weren't as on point that team fight that they had really didn't go as well
As they as it could have but there's never a person to count out like zero you don't want to ever count him out
He's had so much success this is just one event that he doesn't have under his belt
And it would be an incredible accolade to add to his list of already massive achievements
Yeah, I mean it will be insane right?
EWC being able to get those
600,000 and not just that get those points for team liquid in the club championship out of everything here
Okay, we're in since we have already passed some of our guesses in regards to how many games we're gonna be going with yours
We haven't passed yet, but now graceful is it gonna be this next match that we're gonna see it in yes
11 teams are all mad, but it's over.
You just want to be able to sleep.
Bro, I got my shot in like six hours, bro.
I don't want to get out of playing.
Snipe.
How many games do you think it's going to go?
One more game.
One more game.
I'm ready.
I think we go another one.
Oh.
Yeah, I don't think it ends here.
I think we go at least one more.
OK, well, if that was to happen, you
would have teams like Alliance that I mentioned earlier,
Elite Esports to remember how consistent that squad was
during groups that could find some kind of opening to maybe take it one more game
and then get into match point.
Yeah, seven.
This is insane teams in this entire lobby.
So, you know, I know Grace will go get on a plane, but like there are so many
opportunities for these other teams to win.
You know, we are used to seeing like about half the teams getting to match point
forward. I mean, this is kind of nice seeing 11 in this sort of standings.
But there are so many, you know, great plays that are yet to come.
And now we're smart.
Well, one team that just made it to match point and going into the next match they could end up winning it all it could be Wolves
Remember no name was able to step up in a big way for them in survival
This could be the chance that Wolves has been looking for tonight
Yeah, I mean are we back in Sapporo because it feels like we have a home team crowd here and it's incredible
I mean I I've never seen
This close of competition at the ALGS before I mean we have we're talking about we have a league and alliance that aren't even on
match point and I came out on that plan these are some of the favorites coming
in so the fact that we have 11 there and we still have such big powerhouses not
on that point yet like we can have a 16 team from that point growing up oh 16
teams okay all right remember the record actually I know Diaz definitely
gonna be looking it up so I'm waiting for those stats do you whenever you end up
sending a shot of today he's been doing amazing this event now from all the
squads right graceful i'm gonna go to you with this one as an expo player you're
a match you're going to match tan what is your mentality like i know in the
previous in previous conversations that we have had you told me you don't really
get nervous in this situation but max tan so many teams in match point what
were you would be like i mean at this point like
it kind of fluctuates especially dependent on how many teams are hitting
match point game after game after game. But at this point, everybody knows this is most likely
the last game. So everybody's going to come out of GUN's place, and especially the teams on the
lower end, but the teams on the higher end, we have seen have played kind of passively. And I think
even they can feel themselves because we've had this time and time again through every lane.
Every team that hits match point at some point normally has one chance where they could have
closed the game. That has now passed for several of these teams. So any other teams that hasn't
had that chance just yet are incredibly hungry and I think we're gonna see a lot
of proper activity coming out through this because now it's literally most
people are probably feeling that this might be the last game. I mean all of us
honestly I'm with you I think this is gonna be the last game but if that's
not the case let's see because this could end in game 10 ALGS at EWC 26 is
Is it going to be one more game or a wing about to crown a new champion?
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how much more I can take. Oh my goodness.
This is reminiscent of EWC 2024. We're into 13 games. We're now in double digits.
This is game number 10, speaking of double digits, Lutie. There are 11 teams on match point right
If we're looking at an upset, the only two that could really do it right now are Alliance
and Team Nemesis.
So, I don't know how much more can I take there.
Guys, you asked for more, we didn't have more, so please, one more time, let them hear you.
Paris, are you ready?
We're not going to send it over to our Castus to take us into game number 10.
I mean it is absolutely electric in here. Why wouldn't it be? We are at a double digits
in our match point finals, match number 10, and the best news of all is that now stats
become relevant about WorldTage. It's almost like I knew we were going to WorldTage, but
But the thing is, now we have more teams that are on match point,
more teams that have won on World Dead, the likes of Unlimit, for example.
Maybe they could be the squad to put this to bed.
Liquid and Falcons, though, are two of our favourites.
Another team that has been fantastic on this map is Wolves Esports.
Maybe they could be the team of 11 of them that are on match point.
Now let me tell you, there's not many opportunities to play 10 matches
in this kind of a situation.
this much pressure with this much on the line. Remember, $600,000. If you close out here in
this match number 10, and you've got to talk about experiencing these situations down,
you've got to talk about the teams and the players who have been here before, the likes
of zero, the likes of how they know how to play the long game. And when we talk about
of the world's edge. It's not
our zone. It could not be more
central to world's edge. It is
bang center. And when you look
at the match 10 situation, we've
had nine legend bands at this
point. Nine of the apex legends
roster. Banned away Bangalore
was the latest addition to that
and suddenly has made the
compositions look very similar
something is the majority of
the choice here. There are a
couple of additions. There's an
axle in there. I think I saw a
Valkyrie in there as well. A
pat find of this slips in, but
for the most we are seeing
plenty of sparrow and race to
the point they are tied in terms
of selection. One thing that's
very interesting here. You just
see a knock in the feed DK Esports.
They took down a member of RRQ
over a landslide. Now that's the zone. Like I say, if you were to draw a straight line
from each edge of that circle, it's going to be about the same distance to the edges
of World's Edge. Team Liquid are in a fantastic position if they can hold this southern side.
Playing away from the majority of those buildings, if you can, is going to allow you to see a
lot of the carnage take place in front of you. I couldn't think of a more historic final
the game. It's a lot of
players that are in the
middle zone than fragment on
world's edge for a chance to
lift a trophy. Here at the
Alges split one playoffs, the
WC 26. That being said, there
are still 19 to a not on much
point just yet. Now one zone
that pulls right outside of the
building. The data division
find themselves on is something
that I've seen pretty recently
that's a division are in one of
those spots right next door to
them. Gonna be Wolves Esports
and you mentioned their record
on Wilds Edge down. This would
be a fantastic time to preview
right. They put four wins on the
board. So far this tournament up
there with the most that we've
seen alongside is a division
actually. Oh, excuse you.
Thankfully easy flash is out of
The most match point team is under pressure. It does feel like though, when you've got this many teams on match point on set, every fight is likely going to involve one of them.
Well, this certainly is. Elite Esports versus Falcons.
Hero Hau trying to Q through the stinger ball here to capitalize on some damage. You can see how weak Elite Esports currently are.
How sent some nades up to the heavens. They don't connect this time around.
a lot of these teams that are on match point are going to be reluctant to fight.
Opposed to the teams who are not on match point are going to want to fight.
So we're going to get a little bit of a cat and mouse effect for a lot of these squads as Falcons, they back off.
They're unhealthy, but they have been able to create a little bit of distance here.
The GKE sports were on the other side of countdown here.
And you can see from the POV of a couple of Falcons players, it looks like they're just struggling
when it comes to loot, to shoot from distance.
No scopes outside of the two times. It's on the hemlock of Imperial howl
Also, you only have the iron sights on that nemesis
The two times good enough howl forces gk back
But this slows down the rotate here and the lack of Valkyrie in the lobby only one that I can see being run by
reject
Making your way towards the only a little bit more difficult
By the way, while we look at the replay of our RQ losing players survey camp has provided our RQ with
the team. They're going to be
back up to three. So suddenly
the lobby very healthy again,
although saying that I think
liquid may have lost a player
here. You mentioned reject one
of the Valkyrie teams. There is
one more nemesis. I think are
also running Valkyrie. We might
see two teams. Beaming through
the skies late on. Team liquid
will try and escape after
losing sites. Where you go from
trying to force them back. It's the same thing, isn't it? It's a team who isn't on match point,
wanting more points, wanting to catch up, and knowing there is a fantastic chance that if you
win a team fight, you've got to be eliminated one of the match point teams.
Elite esports are coming through the choke to the north here, which is a little bit of a worry,
especially now that they've just with the sparrow arrow.
Get that survey beacon. That's going to let them know that there's a duo inside of that building.
And finally, esports and I'm like, I'm saying this is a chance for KP.
Liquid might get pinched here by two teams not on match point.
And two teams you definitely know how to close out fights as well.
Certainly going to be an awkward one. That being said, you don't want to over commit to fights if you are one of the non-match point teams either.
But with the amount of sparrows in the lobby by the way, there's going to be so much information gained on those rotations that you do not avoid those arrows that are laid down.
That's helpful to find on the
floor that the nitricate helps to rotate into zone to try and get your teammate back to be a little bit quicker.
Oh, I said it was central. It's staying central and we are going to continue.
Essentially with a very predictable zone and where people are going to play.
There's a lot of buildings to play. A lot of floors to play, of course, in Monument and the fragment side.
But central's position is one that is raising my eyebrow down. They look very, very good.
very good. You raise one. I
raise two because I do think
Sentinels are in a fantastic
spot here. If we see the zone
shift the way it can slightly
towards that Southwest area. And
the main reason the central's
really good spots because
everyone else is playing these
buildings. But in terms of
composition for center hold on
to it. They do have that ramp
part as well as a legend that
could just apply them with that
a little bit extra cover supply
them. Excuse me. But with the
going to be a difficult one for everyone involved. You included. In the meantime, Team Liquid just
off of the cameras did get the respawn over at Skyhook. They're still taking zone, they're
evacing out as it stands. They're trying to get up to Blues. They're managing to do so. Vision,
we have not talked about them yet. Their path a little bit more slow, a little bit more consider.
They have to move all the way from the southern side of World's Edge.
They've got Zac up to purple.
As they move through the Geyser Choke, there's a team holding the harvest to choke.
It's usually the Larva Siphon choke and that team is going to be Alliance.
Now, GK, this is completely the other side of the zone, trying to work their way in.
Now, we know that Zayah Division is one of the buildings in front of them,
And we know, to be honest with you, that half of the lobby is in the buildings in front of them.
So this might be pretty tough to rotate, especially with Liquid right next to you.
Caustic Altos, Oat goes in, Panix goes in.
And Zero goes out.
That seemed like a very aggressive swing from Panix in that situation.
Zero has to reluctantly go back into the portal, and sadly...
We know what's on the other end of it.
Wait a minute.
Surely not. GK a busy. GK a busy. It's reject.
Well Nox has no shields, but Zero doesn't know that.
Now he does.
Team Liquid eliminated.
One of many match point teams fought.
And you saw Zero slump into his chair because he knows now.
Unlikely you come back, but...
This is the fight I was talking about in the trucks.
And this is Lohser being left on his own some trying to slide away trying to keep
visions dreams alive who else but Alliance it would be very Alliance
to see them win match 10 put themselves onto match point and a team that has won
the eSports World Cup before could potentially take us to 11
They are a team who knows how to go to the distance. Experience is going to be everything here.
Ninja Zip a Jama's firing onto the position of Alliance.
Alliance do have to move in a few seconds time, but they should be just about safe.
But the cover is a little bit of an issue and Ninja Zip a Jama's want to hold them out.
Now, Vayne's got his attention elsewhere though,
onto S8UL, yep.
So they're now forcing themselves back through the choke.
Loader did survive, by the way,
as he's wrapping his way towards a crafter.
Wow, which is behind Alliance's position.
You can see it just in the background,
the top right-hand side of your screen.
A little bit lucky to find one there.
But where you go from here though,
even if you craft, you go one choke hold, it's Alliance.
The other choke hold is gonna be Falcons.
Speaking of Falcons, by the way,
love to go into their POV right now
because they are wrapping behind Team Nemesis.
They are making a potential tournament winning play
if they win the engagement they're trying to take.
Nemesis will hold in this spot.
The mythic bin has also been opened.
So there are a lot of prizes here if you win this fight.
The GK Esports has been eliminated in the meantime in the feed.
Averiland is trying to survive by flunching through the skies.
And he manages to retreat back to his teammate.
They're actually in this tunnel.
Now this becomes a little bit more awkward.
But with Sakura down, Enter Force 36 will fall elsewhere.
Valken's bully Nemesis away and take away their spot.
You know what's crazy is like Sentinels had a position close to this and they have left.
Gone into fragment, another zone is pulling back down towards where Valken's are currently playing.
And you mentioned it, it's potentially a tournament winning fight for them.
As when you do check in with Sentinels, they are taking a fight and it's a 1 vs 1 I think now.
A.G vs Zed.
From left to right.
Janya.
Oh, thumb!
Get the armors one bit.
Not enough.
Sentimals.
Hearts are broken.
Once more.
Wasn't a 1v1, it was a 1v2.
It's now...
It's now still alive by the way.
On the high ground.
Another match point team.
A.G. perhaps you get the reset.
Does anyone dare push?
A team that has been doing so successfully
in their 3v3 engagements.
Now elsewhere on the southern side, Falcon still looking towards Team Nemesis.
Vision have been able to get back up to a three and are in zone.
And a lot of our match point teams are in prime positions.
This is a really interesting side of zone right now.
Albrell at it will fall.
And the reason I say is SAUL, Team Nemesis, Team Vision and Falcon's all reside on this southern side.
Now SAUL down to one or two, I believe, are just trying to escape.
Yeah, they dodged through. I think they actually bypassed both Falcons in vision.
And Zone is looking pretty good for a Falcons fan. The fight that they had, the push that they made,
and the fight they are continuing to have is so important here.
They want to dominate the Southern side. They want to be the only team here,
so they don't have to worry about their back. And they are very much pushing here.
How else to take this 1v1 with skill-cakes and get the job done, make sure their back is clear, skill-cakes is down, Nemesis will fall.
And Falcons are starting to spread their wings on this southern side of zone.
Alliance eliminated in the killfield as well, that is another non-match point team gone down.
We now only have five teams left who are not on match point that could take us to 11.
But we still have nine alive that are on match point.
It feels like 10 is likely to be the number now.
30 e-sports tough rotation now through Fragment.
This is a bananas, another non-match point team are eliminated.
Only four can keep us going here in Paris.
And one of those is taking a fight against Wolves.
It's elite.
Our group stage leaders.
You feel like if anyone is going to keep us going perhaps it would be them out of the remaining
The wolves will get the chance to reset
Elite do not commit to the fight and probably for good reason because there's too many teams in the area right now
Now the Stingerball goes in though and it's forcing no-nose jump into the void
Gets into a position here
To pop that shield back to it you see the reaction of privacy the analyst in the back of falcons in the crowd
He knows this is their opportunity. We talked so many times about it
We've talked so many times about it in this tournament
You get one chance and you have to take it. That being said SAUM set up now for funny sports
Eliminating it's another non match point team God. It's just three now that remain
But AG also pretty weak here
As they are desperate trying to survive and we get now also under fire
Well, they've now got it in. They tried to take his space away from Team Falcons.
They've been eliminated. But as the zone continues to fall towards the north now,
Falcons have work to do. Team Vision, just a duo.
I mean, whilst Falcons were taking this fight, RRQ just went down, by the way.
Whilst Falcons were taking this fight, SAUL and the limit just took their position.
Elite are out, GT are out, it is only SAQ are out!
It finishes here, but who is going to claim the title of the split-long playoffs champions at EWC?
Low to Onizone, and boy must it feel lonely for this young man right now.
Pops a couple of shields, sells, and a syringe or two to get healthy.
Now there is a cross though, but it would be ballsy to say the least.
But if they have been successfully watching and they see that it is definitely ending here in 10, you have to make a play.
Now a team might want to point out on the south west, Zeddy Esports.
This potential engagement between Falcons and Zeddy, again could be a game winning lot.
How's that a couple of skynates?
Are they going to connect though?
But what it does do is force Zeddy away.
Jelly a little bit isolated for the rest of his team who are safe in zone still.
After they're trying to bully them, they invested a lot of utility in doing so.
Nate, Stingerbottom from Sparrow.
And now it's invited to fight.
Once again, very, very weak.
Guild, very, very weak.
Hell, has to go huge! Falcons are weak! Falcons are bleeding!
And Duke's popped the batterie! Here comes Duplex!
They're stuck against the rock right now and they are being surrounded.
Duplex in prime position to remove Falcons from this tournament.
And to give Zeddy the chance potentially to win this whole thing, as Hal's now gone down!
The last hope stays with waltzing, but he's only got one extra wall vision!
They're eliminating the wolves! Wolves out of nowhere!
Wrap behind at the inputs!
And somehow take control of the zone!
Wolves who have a 33% win rate.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, here come a limit!
From the tech of a limit!
Might lose out here from a limit!
F**k, they're gone!
Ylari man is down though! Crazy come follows!
Peace! Peace!
Zayac and Division are still alive, but they are just a duo here.
They have not come through. They're resin!
It's a 3v2!
Unless they stick the rest!
They have!
Steven gets caught!
God! You just back in the game!
He's coming from the skies now.
Everyone might get healthy here.
When you're looking at the Armored Differential though, it favors Unlimit.
No casting out here for Mike.
Is this the moment that Yooka has been waiting for, or will Unlimit, who have been known
to keep the tournaments going, finally claim their moment, a craper for Yooka, the star
of apex legends for his region probably in the world could he finally lift the
trophy and rise to the occasion that it feels like he's been destined for his
whole career on the other side though unlimited who have denied so much already
The team known for keeping us going, giving us one more game, deleting match point teams.
Oh, now the champions of the AOJs, Splitwall players, at the Esports World Cup 26.
When Sentinels were merely one kill away, one bit of health away from winning this tournament, it was unlimited.
We denied them. And then when we moved into match eight, again we saw unlimited deny the rest of the lobby.
And sometimes history just repeats itself with keeping us going in matches, but what
does not repeat is the winner here.
A brand new winner on land of unlimited.
And what an incredible moment for all these young men.
And not only did they win this last game, but they had the most points in the lobby
as well.
It doesn't always happen that way in Apex Legends.
Unlimit, Slave through that game.
And what was a fantastic 3v3 engagement to win it all.
Well, as the crowd pays their appreciation
to every player on this stage and every team,
we're going to go down to the stage right now
because we need to catch up with Unlimit.
Ladies and gentlemen, Unlimit are your champions!
Dude, what peace!
I've spoken to you multiple times this week.
You've spoken about being uncertain but feeling confident
and then showing up on the main stage.
You've just won it all.
How's it feel?
I'm here!
I appreciate it to everyone who supported me man.
You can't find the words.
It doesn't surprise me.
This is the most phenomenal day.
Jolari man.
The boogeyman of match point finals.
So many people have been saying it.
When other teams were in the final,
they were in the match point threshold.
And you were down there. You weren't quite there yet. Everyone said you're lorry man. You've got to watch out for him
How are you feeling?
The best gentlemen follow me we've got some things to do to crown yourselves as
Champions come with me. Let's go for a walk. Which way should we go? Let's go this way
come on boys a lot of emotions here on the main stage as you can imagine the
ALGS split one playoffs has its champion of 2026 another eSports World Cup
champion and oh my goodness what a deserved victory 11 teams were on match
points and here we go we're gonna make our way over to the absolute demon of a
Crusher! Gentlemen, please line up in the middle over here. So, take a breath. You're okay. Take a breath.
We're going to go through some bits right now, okay? So, firstly, if you can remember, which three
teams are you going to have placed in the base of your trophy with their crossed keys?
I remember one team that the author wanted to crush the best team Falcons.
The best team Falcons is going in the base of that trophy. Would you like to ask anything, my man?
I mean, I don't want to. I just want them to push this button and here we go.
I will have the right to ask them some questions when they go to the Totem place right after.
So, I mean, if you can go and press this button for me.
Do you want to press this button first?
Yeah, don't worry, your key is safe and sound.
And the Crusher is alive!
One of them's already gone!
Sayonara, okay!
Here we go.
Stoogey, would you like to be on it?
Just gently pulling this lever.
Is there anything you would like to say
before we set these 19 keys down?
Ah.
Ah.
I feel sorry for them because they're just beating them.
Let's do it.
Hold that lever.
Here we go.
Three, two, one.
You can hear it crunching.
You can hear it crunching, you can hear the keys being absolutely decimated, and there
you have it.
And so, I would like to now call our Keymaster out onto the stage to present you with your
key.
Here we go.
Make some noise for the Keymaster, everyone.
Nice one, applause.
You have your key, your lorry man.
Okay, gentlemen, your job now is to walk all the way to your trophy.
Place your key in the centre of the trophy and lift it for everyone to see and cement
your legacy as champions of the ALGS Split 1 playoffs.
Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for Unlivet!
Unlimit, now is your time to lift that trophy.
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2026 ALGS split one playoff champions at the Esports World
Cup.
Unlimit!
We did it!
Ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, I'm back.
I'm back, ex-thuvie. Let's ask you a question my friend. I want to know how it feels to have
teammates like this who have had your back throughout this entire tournament.
How does it feel to finally lift a trophy of this magnitude to win an event of this size and to have your teammates backing you the entire way?
two of them, the greatest, and I was supported throughout. I am so glad I was able to win,
we were able to win. Thank you so much. Ylariman. Once again, the demon of match point finals.
Congratulations, obviously you've been in this ALGS community for such a long time.
So many people have such high respect for you. Is there anything that you would like to say to
your fans and your supporters out here who have supported yourself and of course the team are
Unlimit throughout this journey, thank you very much indeed for everyone who did this.
believing in us and kept you and cheering on us. Thank you so much.
Peace, are we OK now?
Yes, I'm a little bit calm now.
Calm down a bit.
I asked you a question earlier to say, you know, just try to put into words
this feeling right now, everyone cheering your name and managing to accomplish
something so incredible in ALGS.
Yes, yes, I thought this was a dream at first when we won the last game,
but the dream came true and I appreciate everyone that supported me,
my family, my friends and all my staff and I appreciate everyone. Thank you very much.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it one more time for your 2026 ALGS split one playoffs
champions at the eSports World Cup. Unlimit!
Okay, there is one more thing. I'm so sorry. I know I've been it for way too long. There is one more thing
At this tournament we have the MVP of course and so ladies and gentlemen your MVP of the ALGS split-fond playoffs is
It's peace. Congratulations my friend. Can I get the Keymaster to bring over our MVP trophy?
Here we go buddy. Lift it up for everyone. I think it's the whole thing. I think it's the whole plaque.
8-3-2-1, give it up for Peace everyone!
You can wake up peace because this is not a dream.
You are the champion of ALGS at EWC 26 and not only that, he has won MVP's night.
Yeah, I mean Peace, Love and EWC champions is the name of it.
I am so proud of this team.
Laurie Mann has done his job so many times of keeping match point finals going and for
them to finally pull it out and get the win like this.
We saw the emotions on the stage, we saw the emotion from the competitors, it is the best
feeling that they can have, and we've seen it all on their faces.
Yeah, I mean it's really super fun.
Ladies and gentlemen, one more time, we'd like you to lift this trophy so your lorry
man come over here, grab that trophy.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is your champion's one more time on limits!
There you have it, your champions. I mean, the emotions are at an old time high, Lays.
I mean, it's really hard to not get emotional yourself with such an incredibly humble team.
team. You know, they have been working day in and day out for this moment. So of course,
you know, wipe back the tears, but of course tears of joy. And just to see them have an
incredible performance throughout match point format as well. I thought Sentinels was going
to take it home in game number seven, and we sort of counted out a limit at that point,
winning that game, obviously winning a second game and then winning the thing overall.
Yeah, from the beginning we were talking about consistency graceful this squad
I mean when it came to world's edge
They ended up winning two out of the three matches that we played today. That's exactly what you've been looking for
I mean even seeing them at the Crusher is almost poetic because do you know how many teams they stopped
To win this whole tournament
It is absolutely crazy, they have always been stopping teams in general and now, once they
climb that mountain, really mountain as we saw, literally that last hill, like five teams
fought for God's spot, they are the ones who ended on the high ground and they took everyone
down.
So many teams that we thought were going to win here, you don't want to send it to the
totem for the champions.
You have to choose now. You already choose it maybe. So which one do you want to go in the trophy? There is Falcons, Alliance, Zeta Division. Which one?
To crush?
It's already crushed now, but it will be helping to forge your trophy.
You take team Falcons? Okay, here we go for team Falcons.
So Falcons what the first now can we have the second teams you want
You take Alliance.
And so now you have to choose for last team.
Which one you will take?
Of course, you win this 1v1 at the end, and you will take Zeta Division.
So now guys, you can go for raising your trophy once again and put your key in the walls of
this east post World Cup 2026 here at Paris.
Ladies and gentlemen please one more time make some noise for your NWC 226 Apex champions
Team unlimited!
Now guys, you can take your frame.
You're gonna give you the frame and you're gonna have to put this frame in the role of this eSports Volker 2026.
Here you go guys.
The second frames ladies and gentlemen of this eSports World Cup 2026 here at Paris for
Apex Legends.
Now widely the history
And there you have your champions of the ALGS year 6 split 1 playoffs at EW6 2026.
expected them to be here, they overcame a lot of obstacles and they have claimed that trophy
and taken home $600,000 and not only that, added a thousand points to their club championship
leaderboard.
Stay tuned, because there's more EWC action to come!
I
