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
698s us sundown ball TW monster d face Shaya
