| 5s | What's Up fortnight fam welcome back to |
|---|---|
| 8s | the pre-show heading into week number |
| 10s | five of the fnc s you guys know me I am |
| 13s | Zeke were hanging out with sundown |
| 15s | what's up everyone |
| 16s | valla TW hey hey hey Shia wager hello |
| 20s | and special guests Monster D face what's |
| 23s | up gentlemen welcome all to the show we |
| 26s | have quite a bit to talk about today |
| 28s | and I can't wait to get started so let's |
| 29s | do this so the first thing I wanted to |
| 32s | go ahead and talk about is top eight |
| 34s | versus consistency there's obviously two |
| 36s | ways to qualify going into the finals |
| 38s | and those heats you can either place in |
| 40s | top eight or top four in your region or |
| 42s | if you're racking up those F NCS points |
| 44s | you can potentially make it into heats |
| 46s | that way so guys who is maybe like a |
| 49s | couple of trios that you think having |
| 50s | quite hit top eight but you fully expect |
| 53s | to see heading into the heats so |
| 55s | honestly rather than calling out kind of |
| 57s | specific trios right here the one thing |
| 59s | I want to focus on is it's all about |
| 62s | just getting there a lot of the players |
| 64s | seem to have kind of tunnel a little bit |
| 66s | on not getting a top eight or a top for |
| 68s | instant qualification in there but |
| 70s | basically every trio who stuck together |
| 72s | and played consistently well is going to |
| 75s | get in through your f and CS and your |
| 76s | championship points so it seems odd to |
| 79s | me that people are stressing so much in |
| 81s | terms of the top eight in top four when |
| 83s | we've seen historically the heats are |
| 86s | such a different beast than these full |
| 89s | kind of open competitions right when |
| 91s | you're in there and we you're with a set |
| 92s | group and you know where people are |
| 94s | going you can kind of do a little bit |
| 95s | more analysis we see vastly different |
| 98s | results than what the leaderboard looks |
| 100s | like so honestly I'm a little upset with |
| 102s | the players mental game in their |
| 104s | mentality and how many have kind of |
| 105s | broken down their trios just because |
| 108s | they haven't gotten a top eight spot or |
| 110s | they're not there when they literally |
| 111s | would have had the points had they just |
| 113s | played together all five of the weeks |
| 115s | like I don't know it's kind of confusing |
| 117s | to me yeah I think one of the things is |
| 119s | that there's a there's a finals at the |
| 122s | end of this and the finals is |
| 124s | drastically different than the |
| 126s | qualifiers in terms of how you have to |
| 127s | play them who you're up against you're |
| 129s | up against the best of the best |
| 130s | throughout the entire competition so |
| 133s | I think it kind of makes sense on the |
| 135s | other side that people are stressing to |
| 137s | stop it is those top force to make the |
| 139s | best trio possible going into stage |
| 141s | number two into the heats and into the |
| 143s | finals because you see a lot of times |
| 146s | players who are really really really |
| 147s | good at this open qala form our Open |
| 149s | qualifier format aren't necessarily |
| 151s | doing the best I'll use the example of |
| 154s | Mitra Marvel even though they played |
| 156s | very very well at World Cup towards the |
| 158s | end they were struggling and that's |
| 160s | because they their play style doesn't |
| 162s | necessarily tend when they're together |
| 164s | to a final customs where it's 100 of the |
| 168s | best players where I as in the open |
| 170s | qualifiers they can slay out as best as |
| 172s | they can and that's what they're good at |
| 173s | doesn't that kind of counter your own |
| 174s | point there cuz you're saying the people |
| 175s | are on the top during the leader boys |
| 177s | have been running through once you get |
| 179s | into these like kind of tighter lobbies |
| 181s | then your ability to kind of w ki run |
| 183s | over other players doesn't matter as |
| 184s | much so then shouldn't it just be the |
| 186s | focus on getting to the Heat's and then |
| 188s | getting the opportunity because like my |
| 190s | one prime example would be the toe Hodge |
| 192s | Bella EU and kaksi trio they've played |
| 194s | together been top five every single time |
| 196s | but I think if you put them into kind of |
| 199s | a stacked Lobby I think they'll be fine |
| 201s | the first round of heats I think that |
| 203s | group even though they're in second |
| 205s | place right now in overall F and CS |
| 207s | points I don't see them as the second |
| 209s | best team out of Europe and I don't see |
| 211s | them placing second if they get all the |
| 213s | way to that final round so right I think |
| 215s | there's a difference between people who |
| 217s | are very good at open qualifiers and |
| 219s | whatever so it's not they still need to |
| 221s | qualify remember so if they break up |
| 222s | their trio they still need to get top |
| 224s | eight in top four even though they might |
| 226s | not be the best of that format because |
| 228s | they broke up their trio and then the |
| 230s | whole focus for them is who's the best I |
| 232s | think of T fou closely and Tom's |
| 233s | specifically 72 hours they broke up |
| 237s | because they don't really think that |
| 238s | they're gonna be as good as possible |
| 239s | towards the end I think that people are |
| 242s | focusing a little bit too much on the |
| 243s | results aspect or anything and |
| 245s | forgetting about the whole process like |
| 247s | yeah consistent consistency points exist |
| 249s | for like a reason in terms of like |
| 251s | actually learning a lot about the game |
| 253s | with your trio right like if you stick |
| 255s | with the same five people are just so |
| 257s | focused on how many points they can get |
| 258s | not actually how they're playing not |
| 260s | actually you know what they're learning |
| 261s | game to game meta shift and meta shift |
| 263s | it's always just more about finding the |
| 265s | best type of results rather than |
| 267s | just practicing which is why these shows |
| 269s | are sticking together I think we'll do a |
| 270s | lot better than even anyone who's trying |
| 272s | to prep for finals or grand finals |
| 274s | they're not learning the same type of |
| 276s | lessons that they get everyone else does |
| 277s | learn and in these five weeks and |
| 279s | monster for you specifically I mean you |
| 281s | kind of been on the outside looking in |
| 283s | keeping up with these trios as you gone |
| 284s | forward I mean this is such a great |
| 286s | point right if you can stick with a trio |
| 288s | you can learn your trios your other two |
| 290s | partners patterns right in play and |
| 292s | their thinking and how to rotate and you |
| 294s | can work out these strategies but with |
| 296s | these trios like Shai saying they're all |
| 298s | splitting up and they're all coming |
| 299s | together and shaking things up do you |
| 301s | think they're gonna have a disadvantage |
| 303s | heading into the heats you think they |
| 304s | might have some kind of advantage |
| 306s | because maybe people aren't quite ready |
| 308s | to handle that trio and their current |
| 309s | power level like what do you think so |
| 311s | this is the first time that we've seen |
| 313s | finally a format that rewards |
| 315s | consistency and I think this is a |
| 316s | learning experience for a lot of our |
| 318s | competitors where you've had a lot of |
| 320s | people go for beginners luck kind of you |
| 322s | know you break up you find a new duo and |
| 324s | you just go for it and you find your |
| 325s | instant qualification now that people |
| 327s | have to stick together I think the |
| 329s | nerves are a little high and they're |
| 330s | seeing that there's a lot more pressure |
| 332s | involved when you make that commitment |
| 333s | early on and you kind of have to stick |
| 335s | it all the way through so the teams that |
| 337s | are sticking together they are gonna |
| 339s | gain invaluable experience if you ask me |
| 341s | and I think they'll be the ones that |
| 342s | will perform best when you know |
| 344s | pressures on because a lot of people can |
| 346s | like we just said yet that beginner's |
| 348s | luck we're you know a lot of people like |
| 350s | to gloat that hey we got top-5 we just |
| 352s | played only one weekend together yeah it |
| 354s | could have just been luck right like |
| 356s | three extremely talented players things |
| 358s | just go your way I think the teams that |
| 359s | stay with one another and uh you know |
| 362s | rock out all the way through to the end |
| 363s | are gonna for sure see better results |
| 365s | and I think there's two teams that and |
| 368s | nae specificity would come to mind the |
| 370s | cliques spades and Crim's |
| 372s | trio who's stuck together so we'll see |
| 374s | how they go week five but then also |
| 376s | lucky animal and aspect two had a slow |
| 379s | rise up to |
| 381s | three and then they fell off a little |
| 382s | bit in week four but that's a team who |
| 384s | does exactly what Monster is saying and |
| 386s | really learn every single time they play |
| 389s | now let's talk about ten thirty in this |
| 393s | current update greasy Grove and moisty |
| 395s | palms are most recent additions to the |
| 397s | game both with these POS are gonna bring |
| 400s | some a little bit different things to |
| 401s | the game on so in Moysey palms you're |
| 403s | gonna build a Crouch and become a prop |
| 405s | if you 80s it lets you lock in place you |
| 408s | can kind of look around yourself a nice |
| 410s | target and pick them off and then on the |
| 412s | other side greasy Grove there's actually |
| 415s | no derp burger there now there is a taco |
| 417s | shop and every so often it becomes taco |
| 420s | time where everyone gets to dance |
| 421s | regenerate HP and all around just have a |
| 424s | great time I mean I love tacos I love |
| 426s | spicy food why not put them together and |
| 428s | share with the world I mean I know you |
| 430s | certainly love a talk of time but you |
| 433s | won't catch me near either of those POS |
| 435s | one I'm not a fan of landing actually at |
| 437s | POS in and of themselves in a |
| 438s | competitive sense I prefer either split |
| 440s | dropping in trios and like making sure |
| 442s | you kind of get a good coverage or tight |
| 445s | team dropping in it kind of like a spot |
| 447s | where you able to get rotation and move |
| 448s | around that being said there's some |
| 451s | interesting gameplay mechanics that can |
| 452s | end up coming out I the one thing I'm |
| 455s | curious for is whether or not people are |
| 457s | going to now avoid those drop spots |
| 459s | intentionally because we know that |
| 461s | Paradise Palms previously was a huge |
| 463s | drop spot pandora in the past week like |
| 465s | a lot of people were going towards that |
| 467s | area so I'm gonna see if kind of the |
| 470s | prop and Moysey palms kind of scares |
| 472s | some people away from it because I know |
| 473s | I wouldn't be dropping there I think |
| 475s | this is gonna be a shift from a lot of |
| 478s | different places to more people at |
| 481s | retail I think it's just gonna be more |
| 482s | people landing retail now because |
| 484s | Paradise Falls like something on set was |
| 485s | huge in terms of loot potential but |
| 487s | because of that those players are hungry |
| 489s | for loot they want to drop somewhere |
| 491s | where it can be very Luke beacon of |
| 493s | buggah specifically they love that spot |
| 495s | and I think they're just gonna get |
| 496s | pushed over to Rito which is one of the |
| 498s | other loop heavy spots and in fact one |
| 500s | of the best Slough heavy spots so I see |
| 503s | a lot more teams shopping in retail |
| 504s | that's my prediction part of me part of |
| 505s | me disagrees I got to play in Taco Time |
| 508s | today and it was actually really really |
| 509s | good in the sense that it's not as you |
| 512s | know disrupt as you might think |
| 514s | if only |
| 515s | you know kind of gets there they can |
| 517s | they can free loot and the tacos give |
| 519s | out a lot of health plus with the speed |
| 520s | movement you can loot very quickly |
| 523s | although you get that little bit of |
| 524s | disruption from Taco Time so I think |
| 526s | greasy Grove is pikey a decent spot when |
| 530s | you get to play and you kind of feel the |
| 531s | rhythm out it's not as disruptive as you |
| 533s | might think |
| 534s | I like that feel the rhythm that I like |
| 536s | it the next big thing to come with 1030 |
| 539s | is the unfolding of the tactical SMG |
| 543s | this remnant of the past I'm so happy to |
| 547s | have back one of my favorite weapons |
| 548s | back in early seasons of fortnight now |
| 550s | we get to have it back and now we get to |
| 552s | terrorize everyone else my take on the |
| 555s | TOC us mg I kind of feel like it's a |
| 556s | mini gun to go laser beam it's really |
| 559s | fast to bring out reload move with |
| 561s | on-the-go combo with a pump shotgun as |
| 563s | well now that the combats are vaulted |
| 564s | everyone's looking for an answer after |
| 566s | they shoot their first big damage shot |
| 568s | so I think this is gonna be the high |
| 570s | priority weapon to take on the burst |
| 572s | leaving doesn't kind of make anyone miss |
| 574s | anything too much it wasn't really being |
| 576s | picked up and calm that much um even |
| 578s | with the triple change earlier but now |
| 580s | it's like I think it's a high priority |
| 581s | weapon early mid and endgame oh I'm |
| 584s | actually I'm gonna say with the combat |
| 588s | vaulting I've seen pretty much everyone |
| 590s | rockin the burst SMG as a secondary plus |
| 592s | with the wall replace changes like |
| 595s | you're pretty much guaranteed to get at |
| 596s | least one of those bullets from a burst |
| 598s | through a wall and then particularly now |
| 600s | you talked about like the pump into a |
| 601s | swap the burst is the strongest single |
| 603s | target swap weapon that's not a sniper |
| 605s | rifle so like very commonly we were |
| 607s | seeing if somebody wasn't being kind of |
| 610s | defunct into their trio as the minigun |
| 612s | of the rifle guy the people who were box |
| 614s | fighting we're carrying the pump into a |
| 616s | burst with occasionally the pump in the |
| 618s | silent SMG as well but more often than |
| 620s | not it was a person I'm personally gonna |
| 622s | merge the mr. Bursch SMG well the attack |
| 624s | I think gives you a lot more options in |
| 626s | terms of the slightly mid to short-range |
| 630s | combat and some like a little more laser |
| 632s | potential when holding high ground I |
| 633s | think you lose a lot of either initial |
| 636s | fight pressure and also burst capability |
| 638s | against an opponent like if you hit |
| 640s | somebody with a burst system g-shot most |
| 642s | of the time we're getting two bodies and |
| 643s | a headshot or three body shots that's 60 |
| 646s | plus damage that's really fast for the |
| 648s | rate of fire |
| 648s | so I'm curious to see now what happens |
| 651s | in terms of the box fighting that up |
| 652s | when pump swap is so important and now |
| 656s | the most effective swap weapon has been |
| 657s | taken away |
| 658s | I think the vers SMG leaving helps early |
| 661s | game a lot for people who have great aim |
| 663s | and then the Takas ng I you know I think |
| 665s | it's gonna be good like you guys are |
| 667s | saying but I don't think it shakes |
| 668s | anything up right it's still just gonna |
| 670s | be a swap weapon that everybody's used |
| 672s | to I think that a custom juice can |
| 674s | become a favourite I know we're |
| 675s | currently in a pump AR meta but pump |
| 678s | pack SMG might be a new favorite it |
| 680s | brings me back to the 10th boat days |
| 682s | when he was at the top of the food chain |
| 683s | he was a huge advocate and fan of the |
| 685s | Takas ng I think people gonna see why it |
| 687s | was shining back then and why it's gonna |
| 689s | shine now not only the player pool just |
| 691s | as skill skill wise has gotten so much |
| 693s | better |
| 694s | well guys that wraps up the pre-show |
| 696s | again thank you to everyone that joined |
