4s what's up for tonight fam I'm hanging
7s out with our best friends sundown and of
9s course Shai wager welcome to the first
11s ever Evan CS pre-show so heading into
13s week number two we're gonna talk about
15s things up and coming in the FNC s trios
17s who want to watch and some cool landing
20s spots for everyone so you guys know me
22s I'm Zeke sundown if you want to say
23s hello what's up everyone I'm sundown and
25s then we're joined here by the amazing
27s man with the plan Xiao Wei just shot how
29s you doing today I'm doing great today
31s hyped up to talk about everything coming
33s up for week 2 what happened in week 1
34s it's gonna be an amazing pre-show whoo
36s excited to have you all right let's get
38s into the nitty-gritty so um I know me
41s and Bala we took a look at that Vaudrey
43s broke down let wick flex Enda mentos for
46s me they are very scary very interesting
50s to a trio to watch and I think if they
52s can execute the way they did in that bar
53s review I think they could really bring
55s some heat and EU this weekend cam maybe
57s what's a trio from your perspective to
59s keep an eye on I think that's a pretty
61s solid one to keep an eye on but given
63s they got first I think a lot of people
65s are gonna be keeping an eye on him they
66s averaged I think it was 2.6 was the
68s average placement across the games which
70s is just an incredible value particularly
72s when 6000 of the best use we're
74s competing in Europe there are two
76s different trios who I think are worth
77s kind of keeping an eye on particularly
79s going through doing rod reviews and
81s they're looking for improvements from
82s last week to this week the first will
85s stay an EU chruch epics and beehive that
88s entire Swedish cohort up there like they
90s know how to play they're very good
92s they're very aggressive they dropped a
94s lot of placement points just missing out
96s on kind of the first X and not hitting
97s top eight not hitting top four but if
99s they're able to clean up in those I
101s think they have some of the kind of like
103s highest potential in terms of their
105s sealing in elimination power so being
108s able to put that together really
109s interesting I think they were thirteenth
111s last week and then out of Brazil keeping
114s an eye on toxic zone and the other King
118s they were able to get fifth we're close
121s there we saw King it during the World
122s Cup just fly around and take everyone by
125s storm but it's going to take kind of
127s another level to elevate that because
129s there is I don't want to say less room
131s for individual skill expression in trios
133s but
134s it takes those individual moments and
136s makes it that much harder to pull off
138s because every single one of those
139s circumstances it's not just your skill
142s against the person across from you it's
144s you and their two teammates so really
146s interested to see how those trios in
148s particular because they are relatively
150s newly formed right are able to step up
152s from week to week okay for me personally
156s I have like two different types of
157s attitudes to look out in terms of trios
159s so the people have already made it I
161s mean oh the tops of each reasons for me
163s and OCE jesse jordan and bullocks these
165s guys on their comms the way they
167s actually tarp up and clutch up when one
168s person or one cog in the wheel kind of
170s gets shaken loose I'm you know kind of
172s keep up for each other is amazing how
174s the clutches endgame or dope to click
176s space and Crim's as well in enemies are
178s the same way people who have won we want
180s to see if they can keep winning what
181s their attitudes are like from a
182s confidence standpoint those are there
184s the other ones were like teetering on
186s the edge you've got Bucky animal and
187s aspect who having an insane way to play
189s the game I think they were one win
191s behind from actually qualifying they
193s lost time I think a tiebreaker for
194s eighth which is sad but at the same time
197s the fuel behind them and what's going on
199s behind them is going to be amazing to
200s see he's coming weeks they're they're
202s one of the top trios for me to to call
204s up so I'm excited to see the different
205s perspectives of winners keeping their
207s spot and people who yet want to qualify
208s get those top prizes and the top eight
211s for the grand finals coming up as well
213s mm-hmm I think another trio that came to
216s mind was actually the x2 twins
218s Jesse and Jordan and Volks I mean the
221s split of seven matches played five
223s victory Royales oh yeah that's pretty
225s good
226s Shane yeah like we said their average
227s placement was one point five seven was
230s the best in the entirety of the FA NCS
232s week one that mental is definitely gonna
234s creep up to because before everyone's
236s kind of used to like that ten week
237s format literally two months and a few
239s more weeks till you know it's it's a
241s nice easy pace in the beginning but like
243s we're one fifth of the way done getting
245s into the second fifth we're almost
246s halfway so like there's no time to
249s dilly-dally you gotta you gotta be on
250s your stuff you got to be grinding
252s literally every day properly mentally
254s physically everything
255s next up and wrap things up why don't we
258s talk about maybe just a few drops pots
260s that we think really benefit trios what
263s do you guys think you guys had your eye
264s on some I've been looking at a couple
266s but I'll let I'll let
268s I opened this one up yeah I think we all
270s know the best one it's been going around
272s Twitter who's been going around my dad's
274s emails apparently doesn't play for
275s tonight he knows about it
276s retail ro is the king of drought spots
279s right now with all the launch pads the
281s gold weapons all the lutes and
283s apparently now all the trio's who land
285s there so contested all the time that the
288s people who usually land there around
290s lining other places and rotating in to
291s clean up because it's that hectic it's
293s that much of a deathmatch it's like the
295s old tilted towers of season five six
298s where everyone just landed there wanted
300s to do whatever they wanted to do and
301s then get out of the game so I think that
303s is the strongest job spot at the moment
304s just with all the loot that comes in
306s with the zombies your shield and mow all
308s the mats available and old retail as
309s well there's metal brick wood everything
312s is there for you to get most contested
315s spot and the best one on the map in my
316s opinion so I agree with you there in
321s terms of just like the rock quality of
323s loot but like as we've been seeing the
327s like if you're able to win retail
329s consistently through those like four or
331s five teams that are there awesome don't
333s but not everyone is as good as Benji
335s mutual at mongrel right and we even saw
338s there the one time they lose the fight
339s granted metrio miss played right like
342s they should have had that and should
343s have been out clean and it would have
344s been fine and probably could have been
345s their W but wait you're banking on the
348s fact that not only are you able to put
350s up with the cube bounces on like the
352s harassment there and you'll have time to
353s get the loot but then you're also better
355s than the other teams who are there
356s trying to get the loot and everyone
358s who's trying to come and rotate through
359s I'm a big proponent of finding rotations
363s that you're able to get consistent
364s gameplay off and then get loot paths
367s that aren't I don't want to say aren't
369s reliant on RNG but you're able to kind
371s of pivot your choices as you go through
374s so it's like oh no drift boards spawned
376s here well this drop SWAT isn't
377s completely muffed because I have zip
379s lines and I can rotate up the pressure
380s plan that's gonna lead me into what my
382s favorite drops what is right now for
383s trios is it's the split drop spot up at
386s hot springs with a little fishy is the
388s science area that's just to the right of
390s it and then the science outpost that is
393s to the left there is I believe there's a
395s ton in the observatories to the right in
397s between that and so many steps there's
398s like eight or nine driftwood spawns that
400s are in there
401s there's one drift board spawn and a
403s vending spawn down by the hot springs
404s there's four chest spawns between the
406s fish in the hot springs as well as the
408s dry wood which is about 15 wood per
410s swing so you can actually get 500 wood
412s right in that area and as continue going
415s west there is another 500 little like
417s brick mine they can end up hitting up
419s there that has three possible chest
422s spawns up there and a bunch of floor
424s wood and an additional drift board and
426s the benefit here is with all the drift
428s board spots and how spread out you are
430s there's decent kind of ways you can
432s break the lines of fire so if you do get
434s caught out you have a kind of regroup
436s and go together but as long as you're
438s not getting like a far southwest a zone
441s you could pretty much rotate everywhere
443s moderately safety without crossing by
445s the super major loop paths and I think
448s this is a key thing for trios and we've
450s seen this be established and the vaad
452s review shall we adjourn and I did for
454s Brazil this team took a very similar
456s loop path move north moved into pressure
458s plant and then pressure allows you to
459s kind of use that glider to rotate around
461s and we've seen so many of the Twitter
463s posts out there being like oh here we're
465s all seven of my zones today and you see
467s there across the map if you're able to
469s eliminate kind of one of those factors
471s right and you know on your drop spot
473s that even if the zone pulls as far as
475s possible away that we're gonna be able
477s to comfortably rotate because of where
479s we are and because the stuff that is on
481s the map then that for me allows you to
483s get into a rhythm it allows you to play
485s the game whereas if you're constantly
486s contesting retail or I don't think
489s anybody in their right mind right now is
490s contesting Tilted town when all of this
492s is going on like contesting one of those
495s spots where there is you know there's
497s going to be good loot but you know there
498s is going to be action like I just take
501s that inconsistency take that variable
503s way get yourself established in the
505s early game and as we say all the time
507s play for late particularly in trios like
509s if you're not winning matches you're not
511s gonna take that top spot home and most
514s importantly mostly these guys who are
515s qualifying are winning at least a match
517s we aren't really seeing trios qualify
519s through without taking a victory route
521s at some point and if you're not
523s consistently making late games that's
525s not gonna happen
527s well I think that about wraps up the
530s video do you want to get some final
531s words before we sign off sorry with you
533s so no final words you know I'm excited
536s to see who is able to step up their game
539s there were so many different players who
541s said you know what my time will come
542s after the World Cup I didn't make it
544s there but I'm looking to continue going
546s for it and who was able to put in the
548s practice who is able to battle through
549s all the adversity and still come out on
552s top because you would think with all the
554s changes everything going through we're
556s not seeing the same names but it's the
558s same names in the same players who are
560s occupying it we talked about how in
561s every one those regions is the same five
563s to ten teams who are always up there
565s grand and there are a couple who are
567s challenging up there but with trios in
569s particular there is a hard line of it's
571s like hey you must be this tall to be one
574s of the best in the region and it's being
575s very clear I'm interested to see who's
578s able to challenge and kind of buck that
579s trend and really establish it who is
582s able to kind of man up from week one to
584s week two and then who's also able to
586s keep their level the same what about you
588s shy for me it's more of that second
591s point to keep the level the same I'm
592s thinking about all the old heads who are
594s now the week 1 champs I just want them
597s to keep their spot they've had a taste
599s of that price will taste of success but
601s every single time things happen
603s it gets shaken up the biggest thing is
605s what I wanted to mention earlier was
606s some duo's qualified very last second
609s switching up their partners the whole
610s consistency point thing right I'm trying
612s to see how that plays out the risk
614s people are gonna take the shoot for top
615s eight or try to better their trio
617s because that's never been seen in
618s fortnight we've had a culture of kind of
620s you know you're not working out that's
622s fine it's okay leave on good terms I'll
623s find a new partner but now it's a
625s three-man effort to better each and
627s every person learn every single role if
629s you want to do it the most consistent
631s way I'm just excited to see the options
633s and how people hold their ground and
635s once again take it as well that's right
638s well thank you guys so much for hanging
640s out Shai Thank You sundown thank you as
641s well best of luck to everyone
643s participating this weekend in week
645s number two of the offense yes and of
647s course we can't wait to see you guys on
648s the battle bus til next time
