| 4s | hello fortnight fam welcome back to the |
|---|---|
| 7s | fnc s pre-show you got me your boy zeke |
| 10s | we're joined this week by sundown what's |
| 12s | up everyone and of course we've got Shia |
| 15s | wager and Bala with this as well gentle |
| 17s | you guys want to say hello what's up |
| 19s | guys how you doing hey hey there we go |
| 22s | now we're gonna be talking about all |
| 23s | things as this is the pre-show leading |
| 25s | into week number four of the fnc s we're |
| 27s | over that halfway point so let's talk |
| 30s | about some things that we think are |
| 32s | gonna shake up the fnc s this weekend |
| 34s | let's kick things off with the Middle |
| 36s | East this is a region that has kind of |
| 38s | taken fortnight by storm ever since |
| 40s | we've seen these read this region come |
| 41s | online you know we've got feasel and |
| 44s | klopse just destroying the region |
| 46s | they've come in first every single week |
| 47s | so far this week though they've made a |
| 50s | little bit of a changeup they they had |
| 51s | hero Kappa on their team now they have |
| 54s | flow saw on their team so shy maybe if |
| 57s | you want to kind of talk us through this |
| 58s | region a little bit I'll talk to the |
| 60s | vision of that trio in specific as well |
| 62s | the region as a whole there are a lot of |
| 64s | mid game early game fights that do break |
| 65s | down and happen in a very quick speed |
| 67s | they're very team centric a lot of |
| 70s | fights are taken team by team the teams |
| 71s | that do split off and do one two splits |
| 73s | like the trio previously hero Kappa |
| 76s | feasel and plops they kind of dominate |
| 78s | fights from angles now flow saws in the |
| 81s | mix he's a very aggressive player he |
| 83s | actually splits off a bit more than hero |
| 84s | cop of him when I've seen this week and |
| 86s | his teammates just kind of answer to his |
| 88s | type of aggressive calls early and then |
| 90s | he stays the type of clutch wildcard |
| 92s | start player at the end game points as |
| 95s | well so it's a very fight centric type |
| 97s | of top down heavy region there's not a |
| 99s | lot of horizontal box-to-box fights that |
| 101s | happen it's mostly just a lot of jumps |
| 103s | on stuff coming down vertically end game |
| 105s | on waterfalls it's it's a very movement |
| 108s | kind of like the old Brazilian region |
| 110s | how they played in the early weeks of |
| 112s | the point I woke up it's a very |
| 113s | interesting region to watch the one |
| 115s | thing that I definitely want to note is |
| 117s | we saw in week two hero Kappa had it |
| 119s | felt like he had elevated his game he |
| 120s | had a number of situations where he |
| 122s | picked up clutch eelain's and put them |
| 124s | in a really good spot but it was |
| 126s | definitely like that core trio like |
| 128s | clops is the best planner like clops is |
| 130s | definitely the one who is able like it |
| 133s | sets the pace around him |
| 134s | looks to set them up but it felt like |
| 136s | they had slightly better teamwork from |
| 138s | what I saw when they were working with |
| 139s | blows up before they were known for kind |
| 141s | of staying around them spots but then |
| 143s | hero cap would go and get the angles |
| 144s | they kind of kept that teamwork rotation |
| 147s | moving through the mid-ground tarps and |
| 149s | just picking up elands in a lot of |
| 150s | situations and then flow saw was able to |
| 152s | convert on a more consistent basis and |
| 155s | also has that alter ego tag there so |
| 157s | rounding it out making sure they get |
| 158s | kind of the full squad in there I'm |
| 160s | honestly I expect to see them to |
| 162s | continue running through middle east and |
| 164s | the question now for me is will they win |
| 166s | it out because they are far and away the |
| 167s | favorites going into the heat yeah I |
| 169s | mean like he kind of said klopse is that |
| 171s | all-star you know he's definitely been |
| 173s | addicted in fates of gameplay he's not |
| 175s | afraid to hop in your box and take those |
| 177s | one of the ones when he needs to borrow |
| 179s | what do you think about this trio yeah I |
| 180s | think the interesting thing for this |
| 182s | trio is how they're the the change of |
| 185s | their third is going to affect them |
| 187s | because we've seen in other regions a |
| 188s | use specifically there's a couple people |
| 190s | like the item and mr. savage and Rojo |
| 193s | trio that's changed their third a little |
| 195s | bit it's been affecting people |
| 196s | positively and negatively I mean I'm |
| 199s | always gonna be like at the same time |
| 201s | you've reviewed so many other regions |
| 204s | over and over again |
| 205s | consistency versus a fresh start even |
| 207s | when you make it what type of effect |
| 209s | does it have on the mental game and your |
| 211s | strats when you actually break it down |
| 212s | region a region mm-hmm yeah I think it |
| 215s | definitely has an effect because the |
| 216s | chemistry that you're building |
| 217s | especially as you get into harder and |
| 219s | harder games and you touched on it a |
| 221s | little bit it gets harder in the Middle |
| 224s | East region similar to Brazil where |
| 226s | Brazil has the most stacked end games |
| 228s | now that they're very difficult so if |
| 230s | you don't have that chemistry if you |
| 231s | don't know exactly how each other play |
| 233s | in those games under pressure it's gonna |
| 236s | be difficult but yeah so it's gonna be |
| 238s | interesting to see what that change is |
| 241s | going to do to that trio in terms of the |
| 243s | harder games next up let's talk about |
| 246s | Kevin he is back with a vengeance and |
| 248s | he's actually brought the motel with him |
| 251s | right now he's flying all around the |
| 253s | island and as of now he's actually on |
| 255s | the covered bridge west of lucky landing |
| 257s | and sundown I know specifically that |
| 258s | used to be one of your hot spots yeah so |
| 261s | that was one of my job spots back when I |
| 262s | had kind of a pirate invasion going on |
| 264s | all the cannons over there there's a |
| 266s | guaranteed three chests but the |
| 267s | aspect for me in terms of Kevin at the |
| 269s | map is another form of mobility that |
| 271s | you're able to play around with only |
| 273s | drift boards and then kind of the zip |
| 275s | lines plus pleasure plant rotations |
| 277s | being kind of how you get around the |
| 279s | fact that Kevin is now a suddenly form |
| 281s | of rotation that is reliable you know if |
| 283s | you pass by that you're going to be able |
| 285s | to get up and then get a rotation going |
| 287s | on what that also means though is |
| 289s | because it is a reliable one if it's on |
| 291s | the mini-map and everyone knows where it |
| 292s | is keep an eye on it in terms of |
| 294s | rotations players are going to be |
| 296s | incorporating that into the rotation |
| 297s | paths they're going to be either landing |
| 300s | there to get a quick drop on people like |
| 301s | you've seen T foo do with the meteor |
| 303s | like grab up there maybe try and get an |
| 305s | FSA gun and put shots on people or grab |
| 307s | something quick shields and then rotate |
| 309s | on to someone else so I'm interested to |
| 311s | see how people are going to adapt their |
| 313s | rotation pass around Kevin and how it |
| 316s | ends up playing out this weekend |
| 317s | I mean sundown said the word I wanted to |
| 319s | hear adapt it's one of two only spots on |
| 322s | the map right now the block being one |
| 325s | and now the island and the other that's |
| 326s | always ever-changing so with the block |
| 328s | the scenery is always there from the |
| 329s | match change but with the island it's |
| 331s | positioning so if any players want to |
| 332s | drop they're permanently the action I'm |
| 334s | actually have around it kind of changed |
| 335s | there is brick metal and wood available |
| 337s | on the actual valve spot but right now |
| 339s | there's extra metal down below as well |
| 341s | on the covered bridge now as that mat as |
| 343s | that island moves around you know the |
| 345s | game plan will get shaken up the |
| 346s | rotations they're shaken up the amount |
| 348s | of pressure there gets shaken up as well |
| 349s | there's a lot of low ground around right |
| 351s | now as soon as you know you get closer |
| 352s | to hills it's harder to contest people |
| 354s | up top so it's going to be really |
| 355s | interesting watching how people change |
| 357s | up week to week if they want to |
| 359s | permanently drop at the spot now Bhalla |
| 360s | I mean you know with Kevin constantly |
| 363s | moving certain teams probably have an |
| 365s | ideal drop spot some of they're looking |
| 367s | to land do you think if if Kevin is near |
| 370s | them should they deviate do you think |
| 372s | they should try and take those risks and |
| 373s | try and get the loot potentially limbs |
| 375s | from that do you think maybe they're |
| 377s | gonna change up their drop spots |
| 378s | thinking look maybe if this if Kevin's |
| 380s | near this is gonna bring more people and |
| 382s | more attention to our spots in general |
| 384s | like what do you think about this for |
| 385s | the teams that are landing not |
| 386s | necessarily on Kevin but around Kevin |
| 388s | yeah so I think that's definitely have |
| 390s | to be a consideration for people they |
| 392s | have to consider are there extra people |
| 393s | dropping at Kevin is there actually |
| 396s | extra loot are there free eliminations |
| 397s | that they can by landing on Kevin nearby |
| 400s | their spot and then content |
| 401s | with their normal path but I think it's |
| 403s | definitely be a preference thing right |
| 404s | how comfortable you are switching up |
| 406s | your spot we see players like T foo for |
| 409s | example very comfortable landing at the |
| 410s | block week after week even though it's |
| 413s | changing so fast and that's just a thing |
| 416s | I said adapting right if you're quick |
| 418s | get adapting then you should be good |
| 420s | making changes to Kevin and I think |
| 422s | that's gonna catch people off-guard and |
| 424s | the other thing I think is how it |
| 427s | affects the game throughout the entire |
| 429s | state right through mid game through |
| 431s | endgame because now there's two big |
| 433s | vertical items that have really no mid |
| 436s | ground in between there's the there's |
| 437s | the meteor and now Kevin as well which |
| 440s | you can scale obviously with the current |
| 443s | underneath it so that's gonna be a |
| 445s | little interesting a little weird it's |
| 446s | gonna be fun to see how people adapt and |
| 448s | play around that in the mid game and in |
| 450s | the endgame but I'm excited I love Kevin |
| 452s | alright now let's talk about the zapper |
| 454s | this new item was introduced this week |
| 456s | in the content update a very unique item |
| 459s | it is a held item you throw it in crates |
| 461s | a zapping an electrified wall if you |
| 465s | will but just 50 damage every few |
| 467s | seconds to enemies that are on either |
| 468s | side of it |
| 469s | pretty interesting could lead to some |
| 472s | new wall taking type things but also |
| 473s | like now you'll have to go into |
| 475s | someone's box your little you can just |
| 476s | say here's a zapper get out of your box |
| 479s | please I would like to engage with you |
| 480s | now so conceptually I like the idea of |
| 483s | it it seems like kind of a step up or a |
| 487s | little more we're supposed to be a |
| 489s | little more terrifying synchrony and I |
| 491s | like the idea of forcing people out of |
| 492s | one by ones I don't necessarily think |
| 494s | we're gonna see too much use of it in |
| 497s | the FNC yes and when you're playing in |
| 500s | trios like mobility shields are gonna |
| 502s | take priority over that every single |
| 504s | time don't think we'll see a ton of it |
| 506s | in this instance to be honest I mean |
| 508s | yeah the opportunity cost and using it |
| 510s | is definitely like really high in terms |
| 511s | of you know having it in your actual |
| 513s | inventory at the right times I think |
| 515s | that it'll be a type of shield bubble |
| 517s | item in terms of that at first glance it |
| 520s | just kind of seems a little bit gimmicky |
| 521s | doesn't have a set role at all points in |
| 523s | the game but if you have it in |
| 524s | combination at the right times it you |
| 527s | know pops off like shield bubbles on |
| 528s | bushes or shield bubbles when you're |
| 530s | moving around just for rotations I think |
| 532s | with the zapper trap specifically in |
| 535s | when people are just so used to tarping |
| 537s | straight not really adjusting anything |
| 538s | unless people are right above them if |
| 540s | you just throw that trap on just across |
| 542s | your tarp to someone else's tarp it just |
| 544s | ruins their whole game it has to you |
| 546s | know kind of adjust their position they |
| 547s | got to keep into touch in what's going |
| 549s | on with their splits and their trio's it |
| 551s | can kind of shake things up positioning |
| 553s | wise but I don't think it's gonna be |
| 554s | necessarily used for damage purposes I'm |
| 557s | actually kind of upset you compared it |
| 559s | to our Lord and Savior the bubble shield |
| 560s | we all agree the bubble shield was gonna |
| 562s | be pretty sick and we've seen a lot of |
| 564s | innovation whether you know your right |
| 567s | away just being like oh I think this |
| 569s | year it's like this thing's for damage |
| 570s | it was like you've tossed on their type |
| 572s | you're just gonna go up or down a level |
| 573s | right like it has a little bit of an arm |
| 575s | time I think there's definitely a lot |
| 577s | more utility coming out of the bubble |
| 578s | shield but I know ball you wanted to say |
| 580s | something yeah I think the question last |
| 582s | week with the bubble is are people going |
| 584s | to use it we thought it was a item that |
| 586s | was definitely had some value but |
| 588s | whether it was going to be using |
| 590s | competitive and worth the slot like you |
| 591s | said takes up a slot |
| 593s | I think Shiloh's right in this case I |
| 595s | think it's something that we have to |
| 596s | wait and see to see how the best players |
| 598s | are gonna use it and I obviously think |
| 600s | it's gonna be used in combinations you |
| 602s | said it was like a stinker made like a |
| 603s | little bit more fearsome stink grenade |
| 606s | because it forces you out of the box but |
| 608s | like use it in combination or while |
| 610s | they're running in there tarps think |
| 612s | about it how often is there a trio |
| 614s | that's tarping a head you have one guy |
| 615s | passing and then you have the two guys |
| 617s | others you know opening edits and |
| 619s | looking for windows and then they just |
| 620s | start running back in the tarp and all |
| 622s | of a sudden there's a there's a baton in |
| 624s | there that's awesome I think that's |
| 626s | gonna be really cool I think there's |
| 627s | potential and don't forget you can even |
| 629s | arm it like it doesn't have to be it |
| 631s | doesn't replace a wall you can throw it |
| 633s | out and if it lands on an unoccupied |
| 635s | building space it will build a wall |
| 637s | there so there is potential some other |
| 639s | team is tarping out and you literally |
| 640s | cut them off and you had they have to |
| 642s | make a split decision moment and a |
| 645s | split-second decision excuse me and have |
| 647s | to decide do we go up we go down to go |
| 649s | left to go right and that could very |
| 650s | well change the dynamic of you versus |
| 653s | that trio so we'll have to see how |
| 655s | things shake up but that wraps up the |
| 657s | pre-show sundown polish I wager thank |
| 659s | you guys so much for hanging out |
| 660s | everyone at home competing best of luck |
| 662s | in week number four of the offense yes |
| 664s | and we'll see you guys on the battle bus |
| 675s | you |
