233s | [Music] |
236s | my name is Nick I go by endpen and game |
239s | and I'm from Charlotte North Carolina |
243s | [Music] |
244s | I didn't realize I was very competitive |
246s | until I started competing in fortnite |
248s | and now I can never play casually I just |
251s | always want to be the best |
254s | I think my mentality is one thing I'm |
256s | proud of it's one thing that I think |
258s | I've gotten a lot better with that's why |
260s | I think going into day two of this |
263s | recent Grand finals we were in 36th |
265s | place after day one we weren't doing too |
267s | hot off spawn we had landed in a new |
270s | spot that we didn't know too well and we |
273s | went into day two and I kept my head up |
274s | and we finished second day two and 13th |
277s | overall |
278s | I know that like even if I do bad I can |
281s | always bounce back from it and so that's |
282s | why if I go in an end game without the |
285s | best loot one refresh can change your |
286s | game one elimination or one team wipe |
289s | and your whole games turn around you |
291s | could you know win the game |
293s | [Music] |
296s | I'm feeling super excited going into |
298s | fncs major 2 and I'm excited to qualify |
301s | for the global Championship I'm going to |
303s | dominate offspawn which I struggled in |
306s | last fncs major I'm going to make sure I |
308s | work hard on that and then I'm going to |
310s | show them that I know how to you know |
312s | correctly play for surge play my mid |
314s | game rotates well and once I make it to |
316s | end game we're gonna pop off |
321s | I think that making the global |
322s | championship at the end of the year is |
324s | probably my my biggest goal overall |
326s | after being a backup player at the |
329s | Invitational that kind of like opened my |
331s | eyes and seeing that you know I really |
334s | wanted to compete in front of everybody |
336s | and I think that's like the coolest |
338s | thing out of all this the whole the |
341s | whole gaming aspect is being able to |
342s | compete in person at a lan you know with |
345s | your family and friends watching so |
347s | that's my main goal right now and that's |
349s | why I put so much time into trying to |
350s | make that come true |
351s | [Music] |
356s | right now I don't know if I have |
357s | anything that would be like I quit the |
358s | game right now people would be like oh |
360s | and Pen I remember him you know he he |
362s | played he was professionally you know he |
364s | made a lot of grand finals but there was |
366s | nothing too crazy they ever did so |
367s | that's that's what I'm working towards |
368s | is just having some type of moment that |
370s | people would remember me by |

733s | threats reap epic whale |
737s | this is going to be one of the greatest |
739s | weekends of fortnite we've ever seen now |
742s | I need help breaking us all down because |
744s | there is so much to talk about so let me |
746s | introduce your analyst Jenny smiles and |
748s | Vivid |
751s | fortnite bam so excited brand of finals |
756s | finally see we've been talking about it |
758s | week after week after weekend uh it's |
761s | here we're here it's here Grand finals |
764s | what more could you want guys there's so |
766s | much happening all of this weekend six |
769s | games today another six matches tomorrow |
772s | not only are we looking for FSC as |
774s | Champions there is now three spots to |
777s | globals at the end of the weekend where |
780s | are your guys hype levels at you know |
782s | not only all of that going on we also |
784s | have to kind of match the hype that EU |
786s | brought queasy and Veno four out of six |
788s | Victory Royals hello are you guys okay |
790s | I'm looking for somebody on N A to |
792s | hopefully kind of mimic that performance |
794s | I'm thinking I have a name in mind |
796s | though okay I'm thinking Acorn and Cole |
798s | are gonna make it happen I don't know |
799s | I'm just gonna throw that out there yeah |
801s | of course one of the two duels I just |
803s | kind of highlighted right looking to |
805s | defend their title and I think Vivid |
807s | Acorn and Cole definitely favorites |
810s | coming into the competition yeah I think |
811s | that's pretty much the sentiment amongst |
813s | the community for sure and honestly you |
815s | got to give a lot of their credit to the |
816s | ability of acorn the igl of this |
820s | Powerhouse and you know he's not just an |
822s | idea I didn't just wake up one day and |
824s | become one of the best no it's all about |
827s | the experience but we talk about it time |
829s | and time again what does experience |
831s | actually mean in fortnite it's playing |
834s | in these fncs style lobbies season after |
837s | season in different metas with without |
840s | mobility and that's what Acorn has done |
843s | and that's why he has a repertoire able |
846s | to you know just Traverse many of these |
848s | moving zones I want to highlight one of |
851s | those moments that he actually was able |
852s | to pull off in one of the week three |
854s | games as you can see here we're in one |
856s | of the moving zones and they're way less |
858s | right they're very very far away from |
860s | this Zone actually and in this meta you |
863s | could just simply kinetic blade get |
865s | yourself right on the edge but no Acorn |
867s | knows how to you know make some of these |
869s | rotates on foot decides to go right into |
872s | the center of that zone and the reason |
874s | why this is so helpful for him is |
876s | because well there's actually a dead |
878s | side on this moving Zone shout out to |
880s | Zeke with a little bit of a score that |
881s | he drew there for me that's gonna be |
883s | that red area that dead side they have |
884s | all of that area pretty much to |
886s | themselves nobody's over there because |
888s | of how these zones work and like you |
890s | mentioned that repertoire showing right |
891s | here able to actually make that rotate |
894s | on foot and a meta where everybody's |
896s | using kinetic blades right no and again |
899s | like you said the knowledge and scale |
900s | that Acorn has but them combined as a |
902s | Duo Acorn and cold we've seen them the |
905s | last three times they've been on |
906s | broadcast they've been first overall wow |
908s | they have nothing to really like if |
910s | they've already shown like we have what |
911s | it takes I'm just excited to see what if |
913s | they can keep up that pace moving into |
915s | these games and I think it actually |
917s | plays into them during Grand finals |
918s | right we have four points per |
919s | elimination they're so good at getting |
921s | eliminations not to mention zones one |
924s | through six they are nine and zero in |
927s | fights that is a disgusting statistic to |
930s | bring into Grand finals especially kind |
932s | of to your point they've got nothing to |
934s | proved right Jenny they're already in |
935s | globals all right this is almost a free |
937s | weekend for them I'm excited to see how |
939s | they can perform what about thork and |
940s | bolts on on the other side talk to me |
942s | about these Champions yeah exactly |
944s | that's pretty much the storyline |
945s | storyline that's the awesome thing is |
947s | that we have two fncs champions in the |
950s | same exact Lobby both looking to defend |
953s | that title and honestly what I kind of |
955s | think is so cool is that we had to see |
957s | um you know bolts really step up and he |
958s | had that solo uh style where he was just |
961s | in Surge weak and they did so good but |
963s | again they did have to go to surgery |
965s | which I think is very important to point |
966s | out that yeah and that was kind of the |
968s | crazy thing right like how do we have |
969s | one of our fncs Champions not making it |
971s | through on the series Point leaderboard |
973s | but of course they have been stepping up |
975s | their game that surge week performance |
976s | they did get first on the consistency |
979s | leaderboard so you know as the season |
981s | has kind of gone further and further |
983s | they've just gotten better right and |
985s | we'll have to see if that scale |
986s | translates into these you know more |
988s | skillful lobbies yeah to put you guys on |
990s | the spot here we had to isolate both |
992s | Duos and pick one which one would it be |
994s | uh let me think long Acorn cold A |
996s | Chronicles |
998s | apparently not that hard of a decision |
1000s | uh well as always we are gearing up for |
1003s | the competition we have given you a |
1005s | little bit of insight we'll have more to |
1006s | talk about but first why don't we take a |
1007s | step back and talk to one of the players |
1009s | competing here this weekend it is none |
1011s | other than long time veteran cease what |
1015s | is going on cease it is fantastic see |
1017s | you man how you feeling |
1019s | I'm feeling great man I'm feeling great |
1020s | good to be here guys that is awesome bro |
1022s | okay so you're feeling good you're |
1024s | coming into Grand finals cease recently |
1026s | put out this piece on you and you know |
1028s | one of the things that stands out to me |
1029s | to you about or for me about you rather |
1033s | is that you're like a long time veteran |
1035s | right and in some ways some people might |
1037s | look at you and think well she still has |
1038s | something to prove do you feel like |
1041s | that's the case |
1042s | dude |
1043s | 100 I mean it's been years since the |
1046s | biggest event on the stage in the World |
1047s | Cup it's like there's so much to prove |
1049s | for everyone in this entire tournament |
1051s | like this is fortnite competitive it's |
1053s | going to continue and this is the |
1055s | biggest event right now so it's |
1056s | everyone's main focus yeah I love the |
1058s | fact that you bring up some of those big |
1060s | name events right there's international |
1061s | events of course a couple of those spots |
1064s | to make it to globals are on the line |
1065s | what would it mean for you to make it to |
1068s | another one of those events |
1070s | I mean I mean everything I mean that's |
1072s | that's what I'm putting all my energy |
1073s | into right now there's nothing else |
1075s | that's on my mind other than qualifying |
1076s | for the global so |
1078s | it didn't mean the world do you believe |
1080s | like in your heart and soul do you |
1082s | believe that you have what it takes |
1083s | today and tomorrow to make it happen for |
1085s | globals |
1086s | oh I've never felt more confident and I |
1088s | mean that wholeheartedly the the feeling |
1090s | that I had going into World Cup this |
1092s | exact feeling that I have today and with |
1094s | my teammate behind me |
1095s | uh we're gonna do good fantastic we'll |
1099s | see where the fans where can they find |
1101s | you because you are someone that they |
1103s | absolutely should be cheering on |
1104s | yeah you guys can find me at cease on |
1106s | all socials c-e-i-c-e and uh yeah see |
1110s | you guys on the battle bus hey thank you |
1111s | so much peace best of luck and we'll see |
1113s | you in today's games |
1117s | cease is one of the best in the game if |
1120s | you're not following him you need to do |
1121s | yourself a favor and go check him out |
1123s | now we have to talk about Duos that we |
1126s | think could become International Talent |
1128s | not just here in N A but exceed and go |
1130s | past that to the global championships we |
1133s | have to start with Booga right I mean a |
1135s | name that we could sit here and talk |
1137s | about forever these guys Landing down |
1140s | south of the map talk to me about this |
1142s | Duo yeah and that's kind of the |
1143s | Highlight that I want to point out south |
1145s | of the map there's actually a lot going |
1147s | on down there and it's actually expected |
1149s | that pretty much half of Buddha and |
1151s | threat to split drop is meant to be |
1153s | contested for over the weekend now I |
1155s | think that could have big implications |
1157s | to maybe how they were performed at |
1159s | Invitational that was kind of like some |
1160s | a similar situation where some of their |
1162s | drop some of their loot was getting |
1164s | taken away from them and as a result you |
1166s | know some of the rotations were so hard |
1168s | so I'm hoping just that little bit of |
1169s | extra prep was put into this weekend so |
1172s | that way we can see Bogan threats at the |
1173s | top of the leaderboard oh yeah |
1174s | absolutely and I hope that they prep |
1175s | together too just even for to build that |
1177s | chemistry up as a Duo because you know |
1179s | Buddha everyone knows the name it's |
1181s | Booga but you know uh both of them |
1183s | together this is the first time since |
1184s | chapter uh two season seven that buga |
1187s | has picked a teammate that is not a |
1189s | previous MCS champ so we'll have to see |
1191s | how they perform together wow all right |
1193s | let's talk about the Dual Landing in |
1194s | mega City read an epic whale I mean |
1197s | these guys could potentially also be |
1199s | considered famous right Vivid you know I |
1201s | got I got one word for you Zeke |
1202s | aggression right watch out for a Reit |
1206s | when it comes to these mythic pump |
1208s | shotguns and making sure that they find |
1210s | eliminations throughout the entirety of |
1212s | the game yeah they're great they have |
1213s | eight total uh fncs Champions into their |
1216s | belt they're gonna perform so well epic |
1218s | whales keep your eye on it first okay |
1220s | yeah we're just gonna have to speed on |
1222s | through this as well another Duo on top |
1225s | of reading epic well remember these guys |
1227s | are basically Kings of Na West before |
1229s | now looking to hang here on just n a but |
1232s | do I think would probably be like a dark |
1234s | horse you could kind of say in the |
1236s | competition yeah trashy and pump uh how |
1238s | are you guys feeling about this Duo |
1239s | coming into the weekend you know as much |
1241s | as they are a dark horse right I feel |
1243s | like a lot more people are starting to |
1245s | learn their name for sure they've been |
1247s | playing so well in some of these cash |
1249s | cups and specifically I like this though |
1251s | because of the strategies that they are |
1253s | actually able to implement specifically |
1255s | early games storm surge strategies when |
1257s | it comes to collecting a bunch of extra |
1260s | shield so that way they can take some of |
1262s | those early tags and just kind of trade |
1263s | them back so that way they can get to |
1265s | end games consistently oh yeah they |
1266s | Place eighth last season but you know |
1268s | this season they have shown that they |
1269s | have placed they have you know got so |
1271s | many Victor Royals this chapter |
1273s | um for weekly finals and I really |
1275s | believe that they have you know they |
1276s | have something to prove and I honestly |
1277s | think they will and these these games to |
1279s | come |
1280s | one last Duo to talk about here veterans |
1282s | like cease it is yamzo and Rise I mean I |
1287s | feel like there's a lot of respect on |
1288s | this Duo but considering them |
1290s | International status |
1294s | is that where we could place them yeah I |
1296s | really think so and I think this might |
1297s | be the season where we actually see them |
1299s | qualify to globals the only thing that |
1302s | kind of worries about worries me about |
1304s | this though is that they're so good at |
1305s | playing low ground but unfortunately for |
1307s | them so are Acorn and cold and that's |
1309s | probably where we'll actually see apron |
1311s | and cold most of the day and fighting |
1313s | that duo for Logan is so so so tough so |
1316s | I still think yams around have a great |
1318s | chance when it comes to actually |
1319s | breaking top three I agree and I do |
1321s | think too it is good to point out uh |
1322s | Amazon rise and |
1324s | um Acorn and cold are the only two Duos |
1326s | that have top 25 of 100 of their weekly |
1329s | final games so I really think you know |
1331s | if there's a challenge to go they're |
1333s | they're you know we're gonna keep our |
1335s | eyes on them to see which one wins |
1337s | absolutely and before we walk away here |
1339s | this bottom right half of the map is |
1341s | looking scary okay this is gonna be |
1343s | something we're focused on here in the |
1345s | competition and just think that was only |
1347s | like six Duos we've highlighted here |
1349s | crazy there's so many more Duos so many |
1351s | High Caliber Duos will be watching |
1353s | compete this very weekend now speaking |
1357s | of High Caliber Duos we've got a new one |
1358s | is Jacob PR in Monster deface |
1362s | man that was introduction say word we |
1364s | have to come back it's finals week you |
1366s | know what the Vibes are Zeke it's good |
1369s | to see you guys uh welcome Grand finals |
1371s | here in North America we've made it I |
1373s | feel like there's a lot of expectations |
1375s | coming into North America the truth is |
1377s | last week the bar was raised storm surge |
1380s | in particular was a factor but not as |
1382s | much as we thought the week was great I |
1384s | know this weekend's gonna be even better |
1385s | yeah and everybody talking and yapping |
1387s | Acorn are called this acorner called |
1389s | that but there's a Duo that's been on my |

1426s | my boys come out of Ages I know you're |
1428s | contested but I've seen some stats |
1430s | contested teams are not always out of |
1432s | the picture I'm going for them yeah with |
1433s | the combined regions there's about like |
1434s | five six teams that stand out but I'm |
1436s | gonna continue na West that former |
1438s | region Baka and Par is there one to |
1440s | watch out for you never gotta ask me you |
1441s | already know |

1467s | with game number one North America gets |
1469s | the kick off here and now for the day |
1471s | one the finale all of course setting up |

1491s | it sure does couple teams being |
1493s | contested we already know the numbers |
1495s | are up for them Canada and Adrians being |
1497s | one of the few that's gonna be the team |
1499s | that I want to bring my focus to |
1500s | hopefully out the gate here if of course |
1503s | the teams decide to go in and take that |
1504s | fight you see on screen though Batman |
1506s | Booga bacon big boys from the West here |
1509s | coming in representing yeah this is a |
1510s | huge change up as well because they |
1512s | thought they were going to get contested |
1514s | by smallzy and Diego plays this is like |
1516s | a sigh of relief for them free loot we |
1518s | can kind of get the game underway but |
1520s | this monster is what you were waiting |
1521s | for well welcome to the Grand finals of |
1523s | the fncs video two we get to kick it off |
1526s | with a bang here Canada's gonna be the |
1528s | first touchdown find himself a little |
1530s | weapon you can hear the shots bringing |
1532s | out already listen Sprite on the other |
1534s | side he's an experienced player he's |
1536s | been in these types of fights in the |
1537s | past but now talking about tier one |
1540s | caliber of an opponent here to go |
1542s | against you can see what it's all about |
1544s | not an agers handle business yeah game |
1546s | number one already proven to be exciting |
1549s | with Canadian age or setting the Pacer |
1551s | for Kanata this means so much he |
1552s | qualified to every single Grand finals |
1555s | but has yet to win the big one this |
1557s | could be the weekend for him and the |
1558s | implications means Global Championship |
1560s | you saw a lot from on one inside for |
1562s | this weekend storm surge was uh an |
1564s | exciting one for this Duo here on one |
1566s | loves to fight he's also exceptional at |
1569s | taking these types of battles look at |
1571s | how he's moving in on zuki's right now |
1573s | slowly but surely you can call yourself |
1575s | one of the best box Fighters here on the |
1577s | region kind of pick them first when you |
1579s | play the draft the shot's gonna fire |
1581s | through but that's not going to slow |
1582s | down neither zypre or on one as they |
1584s | pull goes their way in and take down |
1586s | zookies not only that hit the emote get |
1589s | the laugh get him out of here the replay |
1590s | though look it touches down finds the |
1593s | Maverick shock and slides on up big |
1595s | pumps hit down just like that's all of |
1597s | them yeah landrock got that Havoc just |
1599s | wasn't really able to kind of put it to |
1602s | use and you can see trashy and pump over |
1603s | here a little bit of contestation coming |
1605s | out and now already there's one |
1606s | elimination on the back side of pump |
1608s | that Jack who did go down and instead of |
1610s | looking for qual they're just |
1611s | immediately trying to gain that height |
1613s | just in case he ran away but sooner or |
1615s | later they might know he's down there is |
1617s | right and listen trash and pump have the |
1619s | most Victor Royals from low ground |
1621s | positions than any other Duo right now |
1623s | they are literally in the lead you're |
1625s | talking about a team that is now fully |
1626s | healthy in a two-on-one situation qual |
1628s | has to hide out but notice he slips out |
1630s | the back here I don't even think they |
1632s | realize he's gone just yet and he should |
1634s | be able to slide out of here safely yep |
1637s | see the slap juices coming into play |
1639s | with trashy and pump |
1641s | just kind of get as much as you can off |
1643s | your drop and it's just the only |
1645s | question is did he get the reboot card |
1647s | on to Jack his qua does look like he is |
1650s | going to be able to get away overall as |
1652s | we jump on board the drop spot of both |
1654s | yamzo and rise and ryze you can see he's |
1656s | left by himself but he's no stranger to |
1659s | being put into these positions ryze an |
1661s | absolute favorite as well you see him |
1663s | hit the quick knot doesn't even give his |
1665s | opponent time to go ahead and situate |
1667s | there he's gonna finish up Nick and |
1668s | Nick's there for a quick cleanup brings |
1670s | backyamzo beanzo tagged on the way down |
1673s | here yamzo is a is a type of player that |
1676s | when it comes down to finals lobbies |
1677s | Pros have had this rumbling about |
1679s | themselves saying Hey listen he's he's |
1681s | had a hard time stepping up when his |
1683s | matters most but rise rise on the |
1685s | opposite side of the conversation this |
1687s | man has an Accolade and a resume that |
1689s | really speaks for herself yeah and their |
1690s | consistency is insane even though they |
1692s | did miss out on one week through the |
1695s | first three weekly finals they Place top |
1697s | 25 in every single one and that goes to |
1700s | show even in past season when they were |
1702s | contested that as long as they get a |
1704s | chance to play their contender in each |
1706s | and every one of their games listen |
1707s | Acorn congratulations sign into team |
1710s | dignitas he says he wants to be the |
1712s | first while under the banner to bring |
1715s | home an fncs Championship see cold |
1717s | rocking alongside him these guys are |
1719s | truly the tier one goats right now all |
1722s | the North Americans seen here they've |
1725s | really been putting up the numbers I |
1726s | mean they're on a first place streak |
1727s | it's hard to not conversate about them |
1730s | yeah and can you believe the way they |
1731s | dominated last season's fncs finals |
1735s | they've been taking that same momentum |
1736s | and continue it into this one but you |
1739s | said Acorn wants to be the first one to |
1741s | bring home a championship to dignitas |
1742s | well booga's right here and he has |
1744s | something to say about that I mean he |
1746s | has to right now alongside man City's |
1748s | threats threats has had quite the year I |
1750s | didn't expect to see threats actually |
1752s | earn his way on up to stand alongside a |
1755s | literal Excalibur style of player which |
1758s | is of course has nothing to prove to |
1760s | anyone I mean he's he's already standing |
1762s | through one of the best I think there |
1764s | was a time and place where season after |
1766s | season he was counted up but you know he |
1767s | quickly changed that narrative |
1768s | post-world cup but let's hop on over to |
1770s | one of the few who of course has dabbled |
1772s | in |
1773s | um across Regional play right not many |
1775s | can say that and he's been at the top of |
1777s | his game lately he's with Roe Kane |
1778s | another veteran yeah and definitely |
1780s | these guys just need to find that way to |
1783s | get consistent here on the lobby because |
1785s | we know their pop-off moments are |
1786s | absolutely insane and this format in the |
1789s | finals allows for those pop-off moments |
1791s | instead of the normal two points per |
1793s | elimination that you were getting for |
1795s | the weekly finals it's now four points |
1797s | per elimination so now that big risk |
1799s | comes with a big reward invert anytime |
1802s | he gets aggressive that's gonna be |
1803s | something he's looking out for it's |
1804s | really crazy how much a dynamic a |
1806s | fortnight play is uh has turned right |
1808s | into especially in the recent Seasons |
1810s | you have of course the kinetic blades uh |
1812s | pushing an opponent is faster than ever |
1814s | with red dots being introduced into the |
1817s | round of competition play as well you |
1819s | really have this this opening what |
1821s | weapon this rifle that you can hit a |
1823s | player from any distance but now you can |
1824s | also close that distance Gap um the game |
1827s | is faster than ever and I feel like |
1828s | we're seeing that even now in the in the |
1830s | player pool in general we kick things |
1832s | off pretty quickly the eliminate the |
1835s | elimination fee was lighting up |
1837s | dignitas all over the lobby but ritual |
1839s | and TK contested over on this side as |
1842s | well it's probably Smite and Larson over |
1843s | on the outside honestly I like this |
1846s | they're filling each other out they're |
1847s | not just fighting right out of the gates |
1849s | they're giving each other or giving |
1850s | themselves I should say a chance to |
1852s | really show what they've been working on |
1854s | week in in week out but since they're |
1855s | kind of splitting the loot and they're |
1857s | going their separate paths they have to |
1859s | figure out where they're going to get |
1860s | the Surge and the rest of the loot in |
1861s | their Arsenal because right now having a |
1863s | Havoc is good but having a common Havoc |
1866s | isn't the best one that you can have yup |
1867s | that's right here we have of course |
1869s | bully bean and Liza's here just eyeing |
1872s | out the competition looking out for |
1873s | anyone in the distance like we talked |
1875s | about the dynamic of fortnite of course |
1876s | now revolves around having this red dot |
1878s | it's all about positioning yourself into |
1881s | locations that you can Farm your storm |
1883s | surge early which means get that damage |
1886s | up so you're not the victim of damage |
1889s | later from the game's mechanics yeah |
1890s | especially it allows you if you do get |
1893s | that far Zone pull allows you to focus |
1895s | on that rotation rather than am I going |
1896s | to get surge am I going to rotate you |
1899s | fall back behind a lot of the other |
1900s | teams but one that I'm looking forward |
1902s | to High Hopes Muzz and dejin must he's |
1905s | won an fncs on two different regions now |
1907s | imagine he wins the inaugural one with |
1909s | the combined region that is Accolade on |
1911s | top of Accolade for someone like him |
1913s | very few have the resume Muzz can boast |
1916s | here Degen of course has some great big |
1919s | title wins under his belt as well of |
1921s | course some of the uh underneath some of |
1923s | the bigger third-party tracks but hold |
1924s | up let's hop on over to cease we have |
1926s | the conversation with them we had him up |
1927s | for an interview here cease he says he |
1930s | has a feeling like he had during the |
1932s | World Cup days can you imagine sitting |
1934s | in a seat right now partner behind you |
1936s | like you're in the same room you're in |
1938s | the zone right now mentality in the |
1940s | mental state of competition being in the |
1943s | right State of Mind is so important |
1945s | ceases there I think this is a dark |
1947s | horse yeah I think this is a team that |
1949s | has all the potential in the world so it |
1951s | kind of hit the nail on the head there |
1952s | especially with tragics he plays almost |
1954s | every single event he plays the |
1956s | Collegiate Cubs go ahead and test the |
1958s | waters you've got so many different |
1959s | opponents but what that does is allows |
1962s | you to see so many different scenarios |
1964s | so when a fight does break down maybe |
1966s | it's something you don't necessarily |
1967s | expect you're going to be prepared and |
1969s | you can see them splitting up brutal |
1970s | Bastion on one side they're trying to |
1972s | set up for surgeon on the other one Aviv |
1974s | and Skittles they already have the key |
1975s | to that ball now what's crazy is what |
1977s | we're looking at are tons of players |
1979s | inside the zone now more than ever the |
1982s | way fortnite plays out especially when |
1983s | there's a vault in play people sit |
1985s | around and heal stay inside the stone |
1988s | for as long as possible try to optimize |
1989s | their Loot and you can see even right |
1991s | here of even Skittles not looking the |
1993s | greatest with material count and stuff |
1994s | like that but they do have the time on |
1997s | their side but let's get to the Zone |
1998s | let's get somewhere safe it looks like |
1999s | there's a battle potentially breaking |
2000s | out between Valentine crew here yeah |
2001s | you're seeing a lot of the new flare |
2003s | guns popping off just making sure that |
2005s | they know where those opponents are at |
2008s | typically you do see people save it for |
2010s | later on in the end game so you don't |
2011s | get surprised at any single turn but |
2013s | using it early allows you to find that |
2016s | perfect rotation find a lot of where a |
2018s | lot of these players are at so you can |
2019s | either go ahead try to hold them back |
2021s | for surge or you can just go directly to |
2023s | the center Zone and it really does show |
2024s | you the difference of dynamic what you |
2025s | would normally see you save the flare |
2027s | gun not in finals finals there's a |
2030s | problem nearby let's just make sure what |
2032s | this problem's looking like and also |
2034s | when you spot a team out I mean |
2036s | sometimes that's just enough to fend |
2037s | them all say hey look they know exactly |
2039s | where we're at maybe this is not worth |
2040s | taking this battle Yeah I just kind of |
2042s | had a question mark and pop before my |
2044s | eyes a liege doesn't have any variation |
2046s | of a shotgun in hand so interesting to |
2048s | see how that one plays out a back on |
2050s | board vert and Road King you kind of |
2053s | talked about the possibility for them to |
2055s | pop off get a little bit aggressive |
2056s | right now it does look like they're |
2057s | testing the waters that seek in Lawrence |
2059s | on the other side they have the |
2061s | advantage they have that little bit of |
2062s | height but even a little bit of height |
2063s | makes a big difference I didn't see it's |
2065s | been a free agent for quite some time |
2067s | Lawrence of course being a recent sign |
2068s | it's a limit rocking with this crew |
2070s | right here I like this Duo this is a |
2072s | very young Duo a duel that has had tons |
2075s | of fncs finals experience but again |
2076s | again being in these lobbies is nothing |
2078s | new to them how high how far can they |
2081s | push that boundary we'll find out here |
2083s | soon but let's get into a battle this is |
2084s | one that's going to conclude fast to put |
2087s | my money on it Larson right now |
2088s | seemingly is on the obviously the losing |
2090s | side although they're pushing back look |
2092s | at all the opponent build they have |
2094s | higher Health pools uh independent |
2096s | polarized the more experienced Duo seems |
2098s | to have it on the controller yep on the |
2099s | way from kinjutsu Crossing where it's |
2101s | kind of uncontested over there not a lot |
2102s | of chance for storm surge but Cleaves |
2104s | polarized and end pin hunting for it but |
2107s | with the amount of kinetic blades you |
2109s | are gonna get on that side of the map |
2110s | Mobility is not going to be a problem as |
2112s | they get in box the box that is user |
2114s | that is Larson on the other side user |
2116s | and Larson they've competed at the fncs |
2118s | Invitational and let me tell you monster |
2120s | you saw it as well as I did they shocked |
2123s | everybody in attendance over and over |
2125s | with those all spawn exchanges Larson in |
2128s | on land right all land was one of the |
2131s | few that was putting up those numbers |
2133s | but no one expected and you know what |
2134s | when the competition ended they were up |
2136s | there inside that top ten they were up |
2138s | there as one of the few that absolutely |
2139s | came out and showed up when it matters |
2142s | most of course you know taking home the |
2144s | bag is always nice as well so lucky for |
2146s | us to get to celebrate in those moments |
2147s | but hold up Pam stew fat acorns down |
2150s | cold is here I have to assume this is a |
2152s | one-on-one right now but no hamster was |
2155s | here too it's a two on one |
2157s | pass is already breaking this thing down |
2159s | Colt coming in for the battle wow cold |
2161s | with a monster shot on a fetch |
2163s | everything comes crashing down that was |
2165s | Pam so trying to think outside of the |
2166s | box but cold is two steps ahead oh |
2169s | competition and another big shot coming |
2171s | out from cold this is the first test |
2173s | that we're seeing here in the finals you |
2175s | are seeing why this is an fncs Champion |
2178s | one who is active in the field right now |
2180s | cold putting up the defensive measures |
2182s | against again a favorite Pam's doing |
2185s | fats teams that have traveled across the |
2187s | world to position themselves to be in |
2189s | the most hyper competitive environment |
2190s | so they have the best odds here on the |
2193s | stage if fashion pants can overcome and |
2195s | fully wipe out cold I mean this might be |
2198s | one of the few chances they get to yeah |
2199s | Rift island is now spawning up and |
2202s | everybody here close by including all |
2205s | three of our competitors has that |
2206s | decision do I disengage go for ripped |
2208s | Island colds probably thinking do I |
2209s | disengage and try to get Acorn back |
2211s | first usage of the connect play it's |
2213s | gonna come through you can see in the |
2214s | mini map nobody's really looking his way |
2216s | I think Cole has just committed to Heist |
2218s | there is one though in the distance as |
2220s | Liza stare remember they were playing |
2222s | those bushes and looking around for an |
2224s | opportunity to find tags and they find a |
2226s | first couple onto Cold Cold now pass |
2228s | away his decision here he goes into the |
2230s | audience and finds himself to flare gun |
2231s | okay this is big again these information |
2235s | um um you know being able to gather that |
2237s | information right here is extremely |
2238s | important it can do wonders for you in |
2241s | your environment especially if you have |
2242s | a chord as an igl that can focus on just |
2245s | iglings re and epic well fan favorites |
2248s | you can see their loot already they have |
2250s | those Mythic Havoc pumps all the way |
2251s | from Mega City but they want more they |
2254s | want those pulse rifles at the top of |
2256s | Rift Island and if anybody dare can test |
2258s | them they have to be careful the |
2260s | scariest part we all know how good re is |
2263s | you're gonna give him a pulse rifle this |
2265s | early not a soul in sight looking to |
2268s | contest the island this is so different |
2270s | compared to last weekend's surge week |
2273s | right the weekend that we saw surgery |
2274s | there were four or five teams hustling |
2276s | their way on over these islands ah not |
2278s | now you respect it uh tier one Duos up |
2281s | there you give it to him yeah it's a |
2282s | huge risk here in the finals you kind of |
2285s | saw it very very similarly over on the |
2287s | EU region to wear in those first early |
2288s | games there weren't as many teams |
2290s | contesting that Rift Island to go for it |
2293s | until later on in the game is caster |
2295s | Clarity slowly being surveyed by nounsy |
2298s | and ZZ is this an opportunity they could |
2300s | take advantage of as Casper escapes a |
2302s | couple of shots are gonna land his |
2303s | Shields get broken and this could be a |
2304s | great opportunity for them to try to |
2306s | close the distance opens it up with 110 |
2308s | tag decides hey we're above the surge |
2310s | eases up on the pedal I'm not sure if |
2312s | I'm in full agreement with the disengage |
2314s | but hey getting into a prime position is |
2317s | equally important and for them they're |
2318s | okay with this but look it the numbers |
2320s | already adjusting right this is why you |
2322s | have to think about whether or not hey |
2324s | should we have finished that fight that |
2325s | was closing the distance to play it was |
2328s | cold he did get Acorn back at least once |
2330s | that's gonna be Maro who does go down |
2332s | instead of going and getting greedy just |
2334s | to pick up that elimination it's going |
2336s | to be a double Rez from both of those |
2338s | teams Cooper and Marrow is the team just |
2340s | a little bit north and let's just give a |
2342s | huge Round of Applause cold steps into |
2345s | the storm saves his team it gets pushed |
2347s | by another duo in Coupe and Marrow and |
2350s | then defends them successfully as well |
2352s | now tries to escape here Kenny get to |
2354s | the heels in time he does just get there |
2356s | that was so so close but again they are |
2360s | back in like they never left all because |
2362s | cold was willing to fight for it I'm |
2366s | getting that feeling of deja vu it takes |
2367s | me back to the fncs Invitational again |
2370s | and that's what all these players are |
2372s | fighting for of course the prize money |
2374s | the acts of Champions but there is three |
2376s | spots up for grab for the global |
2378s | championship at the end of the year that |
2379s | is true here's pump and trashy also just |
2381s | on the heels of getting themselves into |
2383s | new Zone here and the feed Batman booba |
2385s | finds itself a nice little elimination |
2386s | to clean up there but pumping trashy or |
2389s | rotating they have plenty of load out |
2392s | here to work with and okay things are |
2394s | gonna settle down right now a little |
2395s | math split between trashy and pump as |
2398s | they start to situate themselves |
2400s | it's another team right here the |
2401s | consistency is just out of this world |
2403s | kind of in my predictions to get top 10 |
2406s | here I know they're fighting that number |
2408s | one spot or at least the top three as |
2410s | they rotate neck and neck right next to |
2412s | season tragics another team nearby as |
2414s | well this is going to be the congested |
2416s | side of the Zone we keep pulling South |
2417s | we keep pulling West So eventually one |
2420s | of these players gonna have to think |
2421s | outside of the box and how to get ahead |
2422s | of all of them everyone working the same |
2424s | way casser just find himself nowzie |
2426s | walks into a barreling Big Shot there on |
2429s | the other side Castle could be happy |
2431s | about this one he's gonna pick up CZ and |
2432s | the teammate that is fully done now and |
2435s | the refresh is nice that's welcomed but |
2437s | the Zone Zone's hustling them on over uh |
2440s | we're getting to that point of the game |
2441s | we're getting to the late stages now |
2442s | yeah where every mistake every step you |
2446s | take is gonna be watched like a hawk and |
2449s | talk about a Duo right here both of them |
2451s | coming from Elite quality and peterbot |
2454s | another team when you watch them |
2455s | throughout the weekly finals performing |
2457s | high standards but right now they're |
2459s | below the damage threshold when it comes |
2460s | to storm surge it isn't much but Peter |
2462s | bot knows with his back up against the |
2464s | wall he's ready to perform at a moment's |
2465s | notice and you can see though he's not |
2467s | just getting greedy he's not just going |
2469s | for the shot he immediately takes that |
2471s | height over the team and starts to look |
2472s | off into the distance this is crazy your |
2474s | options Bar None difficult like you have |
2478s | Pam Stone facts trashy below you in the |
2480s | distance a whole Duo rise right there |
2482s | and then on one a player you do not want |
2484s | a box fight right now peterbot is in a |
2486s | world of trouble it's not looking good |
2487s | for quantity either and uh they're gonna |
2490s | try to sit this one out and heal it is |
2493s | there a chance to fight back doesn't |
2494s | quite seem like anything's opening up |
2496s | just yet and the worst thing here is the |
2498s | separated quantity all the way down low |
2500s | in the mud peterbock and Tower high in |
2502s | the sky but it doesn't matter for either |
2504s | one of them because they're just taking |
2506s | tick after tick damage after damage 21 |
2509s | Below fonte looks like he's on his side |
2512s | just in time to save quantity quantity |
2514s | was a tag away from getting sent back |
2516s | out to the lobby but just like that |
2518s | peterbot finds a quick two-piece that |
2520s | keeps them in the round here but the |
2522s | Zone's now moving quantity has nothing |
2523s | so if Swansea hasn't ran already that's |
2526s | game so yeah he's already Cutting Loose |
2529s | what a tough position to be in yeah if |
2531s | it wasn't storm surge it wasn't the |
2532s | other teams in the lobby it's definitely |
2534s | not wanting to go down the Zone pulling |
2536s | in even though there's only 40 left at |
2538s | least give something for quantity to |
2541s | work with but that goes to show Peter |
2542s | bought and quanti almost have no other |
2544s | choice they need a siphon they need a |
2546s | refresh or their game might not last |
2548s | that much longer way to play for it as |
2549s | well uh you know he could have easily |
2551s | healed himself but he's selfless or |
2554s | selfishly did not do that he ends up |
2556s | supporting his teammate now it's up to |
2557s | code right here |
2558s | um or of course sorry Acorn to put cold |
2561s | on his back because he's lost his uh his |
2563s | teammate |
2565s | done the show but it's not all about |
2567s | cold the igl makes some big plays too |
2570s | paper gets boxed up trapped towards the |
2572s | low ground barely able to escape on the |
2574s | tail end Acorn not really peeking for |
2576s | the shot but eventually he's gonna have |
2578s | to do something 45 below the damage |
2580s | threshold he's continuously trying to |
2581s | hold High over both paper and Shadow and |
2584s | he pulls Zone as well the half in half |
2585s | in cups all |
2586s | all him he is completely safer here the |
2589s | shots come in from the distance and this |
2590s | is what a professional player will do |
2592s | he's gonna go in and give himself a |
2593s | little bit of space change the layer up |
2595s | as well just to keep eyes on the team |
2596s | just below him and with excellent style |
2599s | he is now not only safe but has time to |
2602s | bounce back and get healthy yeah |
2605s | State Farm a couple of seconds here for |
2608s | him to try to stabilize his position he |
2611s | too just like quantity and peterbot who |
2613s | I did see go down in the feed needs some |
2616s | sort of refresh she needs something to |
2617s | keep himself going but as a solo it's |
2619s | not gonna be the easiest thing it's |
2621s | exactly how cold went down that's TK |
2622s | versus ritual it's just gonna be a trade |
2624s | between the two as TK is just probably |
2626s | scrounging to try to get the shots goes |
2628s | down the storm altogether it's Acorn |
2630s | Stands Tall eight points so far he's |
2633s | looking for more well luckily they both |
2634s | did a tag they both got credits for the |
2636s | eliminations and that's going to be two |
2638s | points those are extremely important but |
2640s | look Court whoa gives up high ground |
2642s | because he sees Luke down low and jumps |
2645s | on top of it I don't know if it was |
2647s | completely worth it he realizes wait |
2649s | that's only 50 brick are you kidding me |
2651s | to spot that out now he gives up the |
2654s | best position where he could have gotten |
2656s | uh the tags that he needs here but he |
2658s | sees more heals in the distance instead |
2660s | of going for those slabs Lucy says I |
2662s | need to get to height and I need to get |
2663s | there now and on up comes right on back |
2666s | what a play yeah just shows that even |
2669s | though there's loot even though it's a |
2671s | necessity for him to try to get anything |
2673s | that he can yeah he's not getting greedy |
2675s | and that's exactly why we call him one |
2677s | of the best igls of all of fortnite and |
2680s | I expect that to rain true as 12 games |
2683s | throughout the weekend six day and six |
2685s | tomorrows Canada and age just poised to |
2687s | have a great game you saw them when |
2689s | they're off spawn exchange over towards |
2690s | the racetrack and they extended two more |
2692s | of the Nations after that when we talk |
2694s | about some of the best you got to put |
2695s | Kanata in that conversation it's been |
2698s | years since he's fallen outside of the |
2699s | top ten by the way check his resume look |
2701s | at his history this man performs |
2704s | contested or not but let's get back to |
2706s | Bert here let's get to this conversation |
2707s | he's below this one he has to take a |
2709s | fight they get in they clean it up |
2710s | quickly and just like that it is over |
2712s | now 52 players remain here 30 Duos |
2716s | things are starting to look very choppy |
2717s | here this is the end game you can |
2719s | imagine the stress is put on the lobby |
2722s | right now it must be so hard to even |
2724s | navigate this here I'm know I got scared |
2726s | for a moment you hear it in the distance |
2727s | you see it there on screen the pulse |
2729s | rifles from both re and epic well going |
2732s | and firing off so much but acorns down |
2734s | on storm surge tries to make a miracle |
2736s | happen but he gets caught out and that's |
2738s | Baca there that can kind of clean up all |
2740s | that loot and that was one of my worries |
2742s | seeing it here have to go and Reed down |
2744s | on storm surge but I think they just |
2746s | sacrificed the early Game Surge to make |
2748s | sure they got both the ball and |
2750s | overclock close rifles that's right now |
2751s | they found himself in a great position |
2752s | here to play off of but you open that |
2755s | window you get tagged leak's gonna get |
2756s | punished here remember they do have like |
2758s | you said those pulse rifles this is this |
2760s | is the weapon for High Ground Lake you |
2762s | are in the best position to play for |
2764s | height when you have this you have |
2765s | everything in your power to do so |
2766s | they're just teetering on the safety |
2769s | line and the danger zone uh for epic |
2771s | well and re I mean they have to find |
2772s | something they have to find it now |
2774s | see him looking off in the distance |
2776s | not really finding anything that is |
2778s | comfortable with and as soon as he tries |
2780s | to rotate from point A to point B all |
2782s | his Shields his HP goes down three HP |
2785s | before getting that mini off a huge |
2787s | moment for Reed trying to stay alive he |
2789s | only has a couple of seconds to work |
2790s | with 91 below the damage threshold him |
2793s | or after 12 need to land a monster of a |
2795s | shot on that team below him and they |
2797s | only have a few seconds to make it work |
2798s | reach trying to trust an epic to do it |
2800s | but epic doesn't find anything now it's |
2802s | up to re-hear just moments away there |
2804s | the shot comes in even better for the |
2806s | opponents they're gonna get an |
2808s | elimination credit and it's up to Epic |
2810s | Whale by himself but I have to assume |
2812s | they're going to be taken out here |
2813s | shortly let's pan on Over The High |
2815s | Ground though we have jumper up top |
2818s | right now of course we saw a jumper uh |
2821s | switch up his Duo try something new for |
2823s | the new season little seconds going well |
2825s | it's game yeah this is this is honestly |
2826s | I love his Outlook as well he's a huge |
2828s | fan of competition he was talking about |
2830s | it on social media watching EU getting |
2832s | himself pumped and ready to go for the |
2834s | na finals and already with two |
2836s | elimination points the placement points |
2838s | as well boob and threads and almost a |
2840s | very very same scenario but instead of |
2842s | flying high through the sky they're one |
2843s | of the teams that is trying to take over |
2844s | the low ground well I've seen all the |
2846s | predictions I've seen the list I've seen |
2848s | the top fives Booga and threats are up |
2850s | there somewhere in that mix as teams to |
2852s | perform well take a look at fuga this is |
2854s | where he begins to do best it's these |
2856s | end games Bryce and Chubbs are one of |
2858s | the other teams on the other side of the |
2859s | barrel here they're trying to go ahead |
2860s | and fight back they're 62 above the |
2862s | surge two they're still about 10 players |
2864s | that have to fall here a lot a lot of |
2867s | players are still somehow surviving |
2869s | right now yeah and you're actually |
2870s | seeing why everybody is saving the flare |
2873s | gun till the end of the game rotating it |
2875s | is they're trying to make it as easy as |
2877s | possible but they're just trying to |
2878s | gather that information the Clinton |
2879s | breaks through but he goes down all |
2881s | together to Neto he is trying to make |
2883s | something happen he has no heels he's |
2885s | peeked through the wall one shot's gonna |
2887s | get landed but it's not gonna be enough |
2888s | to get the knocks but he has to continue |
2890s | on he needs a refresh so he has no match |
2892s | no heels nothing other than a trick up |
2895s | his sleeve or at least I hope this is a |
2896s | tough spot being you're by yourself |
2898s | players everywhere you see dudes zipping |
2900s | around and what do you do you run for |
2903s | your life that's what I was trying to |
2904s | figure out right here and he is just |
2906s | playing through the builds here very |
2908s | dangerous game he's playing in and there |
2910s | it is he finally gets taken out finally |
2911s | jamper also gets Target off a height |
2913s | it's Muzz and djen who is waiting for |
2915s | them and now they capitalize we wanted |
2917s | to see if Muzz can step up when it |
2919s | matters these ends here to back him up |
2921s | they're hurt yeah a stealth pistol just |
2923s | making sure if you land a shot you mark |
2925s | him for a couple of seconds that's the |
2926s | dejin's gonna use knowing that he's not |
2928s | getting contested that gives him the |
2930s | confidence to try to hold on to The High |
2931s | Ground but how long can you hold on to |
2933s | it with teams like Yamato and Raj still |
2935s | in the Lottie tonight and age was |
2936s | dropping down low to ultimate low ground |
2938s | they have no Mass so that was the best |
2939s | player they could have made at this |
2941s | scenario one of the few teams just |
2942s | tearing it up right now but they let |
2943s | their guard down shots coming from above |
2945s | and agers is down Kanata is not by |
2947s | himself he is also Mr pump when he's got |
2950s | it in his hands he's hitting big shots |
2952s | here and now he's up and running kinetic |
2953s | blade to find himself back to the storm |
2955s | here and just like that still in the |
2958s | running yep solo clutch is a Kanata name |
2960s | a better Duo coming out this is a |
2962s | monster moment for him because if he |
2963s | makes big plays that's confident but |
2965s | yeah I'm doing rides towards the top |
2966s | they go down all together as Canada's |
2969s | still trying to keep his run intact on |
2971s | the other side that's death to tahi |
2972s | Knocking on his doors Kanata is not |
2974s | answering he's just completely rotates |
2977s | on out repositions himself because he |
2979s | has more left in the tank now what they |
2980s | say Jacob let him cook he's here he |
2983s | breaks his way into this top 15 he has a |
2985s | chance to do something big right now but |
2987s | hold up Duke edgy down low for elims as |
2990s | well looking very very solid here still |
2991s | holding on to those flares hold up let's |
2994s | get back to it now but no kanada gets |
2996s | caught seven eliminations though he does |
2997s | end up wrecking it |
2999s | race it to top five and user is finding |
3002s | a chance here to continue to earn some |
3003s | more Casper's Clarity trying to do it as |
3005s | well they have five eliminations and |
3007s | they're one of the few Duos still left |
3008s | in the lobby but under pressure from all |
3010s | angles and they both get dropped sent |
3012s | back all together and this is paper and |
3014s | Shadow he saw him in the interviewer at |
3016s | the on as long as they can keep |
3017s | chemistry intact they're going to be one |
3019s | of the teams to look out for and already |
3020s | proven that to be true using a rail of |
3023s | course to break everything as well |
3024s | Shadow is just tearing up here papers |
3027s | here as well still alive the Zone's |
3029s | gonna come just a little bit Duke down |
3030s | low clears things out fines pay for |
3032s | there and all of a sudden they find the |
3033s | refresher that they need they have some |
3035s | mats to finally make a platform here to |
3037s | work with the edit comes through edges |
3038s | down paper Duke oh no it's all exchanges |
3042s | here it's you sir from nowhere at six |
3044s | elims now and Mom's the only one on the |
3047s | other side and he hits the shot Jacob he |
3050s | closes things I forgot about dejin and |
3053s | mud but that's because they were smooth |
3055s | sailing on The High Ground Zone after |
3057s | Zone as soon as they were able to |
3059s | solidify it they held on to it and you |
3061s | can see once healing at the top the |
3063s | other one drop down low to get the |
3064s | elimination going Tit for Tat they're in |
3067s | the end game back and forth like a |
3068s | little game of tug of war you didn't |
3070s | really know who had the strength to pull |
3072s | through but Muzz when you close your |
3075s | eyes when you looked away he was the |
3077s | player there to back it up take a look |
3078s | at how DJ was putting down those tags |
3080s | you talked about this weapon in |
3082s | particular it attacks your opponents it |
3084s | gives you all the info yep all the |
3085s | information in the world you can see |
3086s | already Muzz dropping down low that's |
3089s | gonna be their fourth elimination and |
3091s | that Victory Royale this is game number |
3093s | one how you start means so much because |
3096s | it's momentum and confidence going into |
3098s | the rest of the day it's exactly that |
3100s | this is where the pressure starts to |
3102s | make diamonds for us here that's gonna |
3104s | be rocks we have a whole competition to |
3106s | cast let's get to it |
3109s | thank you guys so much Jacob used the |
3112s | word momentum that is what these Duos |
3114s | are looking to hit the ground running |
3116s | with now that was just game one we have |
3118s | five more today and of course six |
3119s | tomorrow but four Degen and must This Is |
3122s | How They want to start the competition |
3124s | yeah I mean a little bit of a Home Zone |
3126s | as well pulling all the way over to |
3128s | shattered slabs so you know that added |
3131s | benefit of Landing over there able to |
3132s | kind of build up to that High Ground |
3134s | early on get some storm surge but |
3136s | honestly only having one elimination |
3137s | going into some of those moving zones |
3139s | and still having a plethora of builds up |
3141s | to keep maintaining The High Ground LED |
3143s | them to that Victory Royale they were |
3145s | they were definitely keeping their eye |
3146s | on those bills they were they were |
3147s | moving through build saying like picking |
3148s | up the slack of everybody else's |
3150s | eliminations and you know they didn't |
3152s | initially go for that height so I think |
3153s | they were very patient and took it just |
3156s | in time so letting everybody on the low |
3159s | grounds fight it out but inevitably |
3162s | they made it work height taking High |
3164s | getting the shots right and jumping down |
3166s | when they needed to baby yeah exactly |
3168s | jump it down when they needed to is also |
3169s | like the pivotal point right making sure |
3171s | that kind of boat just kept applying the |
3173s | pressure and Jacob called out he was |
3175s | like oh my gosh I forgot about the |
3176s | genome forgot about height almost |
3178s | entirely because there was so much |
3179s | action going on down in the low ground |
3181s | and they kind of just like didn't even |
3182s | involve themselves until it was finding |
3184s | that 2V1 situation close it out clean |
3187s | chaos |
3189s | is raiding Supreme here on N A let's |
3192s | take a look at our standings I want to |
3194s | see if we can look to maybe refine some |
3196s | of that going into later games but after |
3198s | that first game d-gen and Maz they will |
3200s | sit at the top with the Victor Royals |
3202s | now friends I know in EU if you guys had |
3205s | a chance to watch eliminations were a |
3207s | very big chunk of the points obviously |
3210s | being four points per elimination yet we |
3213s | haven't really seen like right here on |
3214s | the front page the highest is seven |
3216s | right do we expect to see na get maybe a |
3218s | little more aggressive look to find |
3219s | those eliminations doesn't continue as |
3221s | the competition rather continues to go |
3223s | on yeah I think so and it's going to be |
3225s | big for some of these big name teams |
3226s | like Canadian ages seven eliminations |
3228s | and two of those coming from all spawn |
3230s | unfortunately being contested but the |
3232s | fact that they're already up one you |
3234s | know Zeke mentioned it momentum so if |
3236s | they can continue winning all spawn they |
3238s | could do very very well because they |
3240s | would be a favorite Duo to like win the |
3242s | whole thing if they weren't contested so |
3244s | they can kind of flip that coin and just |
3246s | go like 6-0 all spawn we could see them |
3248s | at the top of leaderboard work all day |
3249s | yeah and I do think they definitely have |
3251s | the ability to make it even later in the |
3253s | game he just kind of got stuck in a |
3254s | little sticky situation there but it |
3256s | happens |
3257s | um I think too you know Adria's going |
3258s | down left leaving him as a solo |
3260s | obviously have that uh being not ideal |
3263s | but I think too again like if they can |
3265s | win off spawn make it late and end game |
3267s | we're gonna see them the points stacking |
3269s | up more elimination Z yeah all of the |
3272s | eliminations that's what we want to see |
3273s | do remember there is consistency that |
3276s | will also play a factor edgy as well |
3278s | they're with Duke sitting in that fourth |
3281s | place spot they do look to have pretty |
3282s | strong start here ending the day or |
3284s | rather starting the day in that top four |
3288s | do we continue to see that word carry on |
3290s | with this team momentum |
3292s | yeah you know it's actually I think it's |
3294s | probably a lot of people's a little bit |
3295s | of a surprise to see them breaking out |
3297s | and having this game one such a such a |
3299s | solid one as well claiming that low |
3301s | ground whether they were able to because |
3302s | you know we've seen a couple of our low |
3304s | ground teams actually go down early that |
3306s | game so they kind of took advantage of |
3308s | that very very cleanly but if that |
3309s | continues to happen I could definitely |
3310s | see Duke and edgy doing very very well |
3312s | throughout the weekend kind of a Duo |
3314s | flying under a lot of people's radar but |
3316s | proving already that that shouldn't be |
3317s | the case oh yeah and again you could |
3319s | just see In that clip they did so well |
3321s | and even putting being put in situations |
3323s | where they were in the water like |
3324s | jumping around like just the perfect |
3326s | timing placing their builds being very |
3328s | aware of their surroundings |
3330s | clean yeah and I do kind of want to |
3332s | highlight here looking at this top 10 so |
3334s | far remember this is just game one let's |
3336s | not get crazy but this being game one |
3338s | there's not a lot of these like higher |
3339s | profile Duos you're getting used to |
3341s | seeing in that top 10 someone like |
3343s | boogin threats right right after game |
3345s | one not sitting in the top ten |
3347s | yeah that's uh surprising to say the |
3349s | least but sometimes you know some of |
3350s | these videos new need to like adjust to |
3352s | some of their surroundings maybe it's |
3354s | like an all-spawn situation but still |
3355s | they made it into the end game and |
3357s | that's what I want to see out of Booga I |
3358s | want to see them make every single end |
3360s | game being uncontested want to make sure |
3362s | that they have that offspawn loot path |
3364s | figured out and the fact that they made |
3366s | it into this game has already given me |
3367s | High Hopes when it comes to this though |
3369s | actually being able to take the whole |
3370s | thing I just |
3377s | amazing gameplay from these guys in the |
3380s | Fallen coming up games yeah and I think |
3382s | Jenny some duels need to do that right |
3383s | they need those kind of warm-up games to |
3385s | get going and sometimes they are day two |
3387s | teams right yep that is definitely the |
3390s | case I've seen that happen multiple |
3391s | times yeah of course I mean remember |
3393s | let's everybody just calm down this is |
3396s | just game one right this is kind of the |
3398s | warm-up stage this is just like let's |
3399s | let's have a feeler game and let's see |
3401s | how things shake up how are we hoping to |
3403s | see maybe game two go is it maybe more |
3406s | of the same because you don't want to |
3407s | let too many of these games pass right |
3409s | yet I feel like the dough that got a lot |
3411s | of pressure on them right now Acorn and |
3412s | cold didn't necessarily have the game |
3414s | that they were hoping for for sure right |
3416s | there maybe some storm surge they you |
3418s | know Acorn got knocked very very early |
3420s | on cold almost got off a sick 1v2 just |
3423s | retreated got the reboot off still |
3425s | nothing really came out of that door |
3426s | when it came to making it to the end |
3427s | game unfortunately |
3431s | exactly sure of what's going to happen |
3433s | even if we have this perfect record on |
3435s | them we're like y'all are amazing that |
3437s | could definitely be the case in these |
3439s | coming up games and I do believe that |
3440s | that will be the case they're just |
3441s | getting their footing right we'll give |
3442s | you we'll give you the next game yeah |
3444s | there's a meta within the meta of the |
3446s | competition right so it's all about |
3448s | adapting but we are geared up and ready |
3451s | to go for game number two of the fncs |
3453s | finders used to the bus it's game time |
3457s | foreign |
3460s | I got my seat on this battle buzz after |
3464s | that first game you better bet that I am |
3466s | on the edge of that seat as well I'm |
3468s | with you man it was crazy my seatbelts |
3470s | off listen I'm just waiting for the horn |
3471s | at this point to ring off game two is |
3474s | right in front of us you saw what |
3475s | happens teams that were contested cannot |
3477s | agers survived and look at what they |
3480s | turned that entire round into a miracle |
3482s | run yeah you've seen a lot of teams as |
3484s | well begin to use that shadow tracker |
3486s | augment the flare gun with the shadow |
3488s | tracker pistol that you've seen them |
3490s | take very very late into the game that |
3492s | makes me ask the question did they |
3494s | choose to keep it is it something that |
3496s | they're having their blueprint or were |
3497s | they just that down bad and they just |
3499s | made it work well the truth is they |
3500s | absolutely made it work High Ground was |
3502s | King there I thought epic whale and Reet |
3504s | were gonna be the team to turn it around |
3506s | incredible to see how they had the Pulse |
3509s | Rifle right everything that you can |
3511s | possibly ask for and then still fall |
3513s | behind and search I wonder what is it |
3516s | that they have to do to go ahead and |
3517s | tweak their spot right because they're |
3519s | together they're one of the few things |
3520s | that are also literally playing in the |
3522s | same household |
3523s | um they should have the land buff yep |
3525s | and luckily that we get to find out very |
3528s | very soon what's gonna happen here on |
3530s | game number two because you heard the |
3532s | battle bus it is ready to get going what |
3535s | adjustments will be made from these |
3536s | players we got a north to south bus with |
3539s | a little bit of a western lean so some |
3540s | of these teams that may not have had the |
3543s | best off spawn will get a second chance |
3545s | to go at it again I'm already rooting |
3546s | for cease and tragics I'm already |
3548s | rooting for Canadian Aegis Chubbs and |
3551s | Bryce okay this is a fight we did not |
3552s | get to see kick off we do know however |
3554s | that shadow was in that end game with |
3556s | paper and no paper chop down Shadow is |
3560s | well right |
3562s | and quick what went wrong they must have |
3566s | just gotten beat to the drop this time |
3568s | looks like a full-on 50 50 for just one |
3571s | chest you don't win the chest then well |
3573s | that's it it's Canada and age are trying |
3575s | to go to for two great shots landed for |
3576s | Kanata right out of the gates here's |
3578s | that agers need some help over on the |
3580s | other side but he pulls out a big one |
3582s | taking down Giants but Sprite he fires |
3584s | back he takes down the Kanata and now at |
3586s | this stage in the game that siphon is |
3588s | going to be a must because ages is hot |
3589s | on his heels he has to happen he has the |
3591s | Tactical Pistol so the siphon is going |
3593s | to come through that's going to allow |
3594s | for sprite to stay alive that much |
3595s | longer he's doing a good job fighting |
3597s | back all he has that compact SMG even a |
3600s | splash to get him that much closer to |
3601s | full health but it's not enough to |
3603s | outlast agers oh but the tags though |
3605s | there's a team coming in quick they even |
3606s | shoot the downed body in Kanata Falls |
3610s | there it's La Bucky and oh kiss sliding |
3614s | on in quick as well not looking to give |
3616s | them any time they have kinetic blades |
3618s | too so if they really want to push they |
3621s | absolutely can right now yeah kind of |
3623s | watching a lot of streams look at that a |
3625s | lot of what people think about how this |
3628s | is going to go they knew this was going |
3630s | to be a long spawns change that at the |
3631s | racetrack but Le Bucky and ocus they're |
3633s | the ones that are taking advantage of |
3635s | all this instead of just landing at |
3636s | their split drop booting up they went |
3638s | straight for those kinetic blades and |
3640s | now that they see a fight was going down |
3641s | they're just trying to play janitor to |
3643s | clean it up I like this though agers |
3645s | does Madison tying his exit just |
3648s | Sly enough that he doesn't get spotted |
3651s | out okis doesn't seem to catch wind of |
3652s | him either in Bucky and crew are just |
3654s | like yep you know what this is our |
3656s | racetrack now and they get to claim the |
3658s | the true story was honestly the three |
3660s | shield and everything else in between |
3661s | here what a Time rotate now Canon ages |
3665s | have to really think about that |
3668s | so much of spawns we saw them hello four |
3673s | he lives what US Duke and edgy doing to |
3677s | start this one off |
3678s | I'm happy we got the replayers I was |
3680s | gonna I was gonna call it in I was gonna |
3682s | call it in show me what happened Duke |
3685s | and Angie come in they wrap up Bully's |
3687s | crew they find lizx in another team |
3690s | timing these contested areas and Taken |
3693s | full advantage that wasn't even the |
3695s | first two eliminations they got that was |
3696s | just the ladder the last two that they |
3699s | were able to pick up so they're already |
3701s | getting their game going off to a hot |
3703s | start is Nick and Nick's |
3706s | have a very very similar position with a |
3708s | split drop having to split loop with |
3710s | another team so you're gonna have to |
3711s | think outside of the box your loot path |
3714s | and rotations to go ahead and clean up a |
3715s | lot of that Loop well this is a two-day |
3717s | competition this is game two so for some |
3721s | the journey is just beginning you may |
3723s | have a lead but it's not available |
3763s | see G money throughout |
3765s | the different weeks of qualifiers it's |
3767s | definitely become a fan but limit grades |
3770s | and visuals there are no slouches either |
3772s | they don't back down from any fight but |
3774s | a couple shots fired off with the shield |
3775s | cake down that they know he is weak |
3779s | let me see what he can do here sliding |
3781s | around |
3782s | looking for a more defensive play he |
3784s | gets back to the Box you have plenty of |
3785s | loot here this is what the fight's over |
3786s | now you can see Anvil Square |
3789s | yielding out tons of great upgrades here |
3792s | but the loot cat man gotta get to it yup |
3794s | I was gonna say it's not really worth |
3796s | sticking around and fighting for really |
3798s | got to get back to the farm here |
3800s | I need your mats gotta set yourself up |
3802s | for those mid games you'll see this |
3803s | happen a lot amongst the top tier |
3805s | players they'll start a fight maybe it's |
3807s | just not worth completing all right you |
3809s | just go ahead and back out it's totally |
3811s | fine saw Mason and scope they're trying |
3813s | to sneak up third party but from one |
3815s | side to the next moo is there gotta |
3817s | wonder where school is at that is going |
3819s | to be close behind scare bear there for |
3821s | a moment they're gonna back up just a |
3823s | little bit moves not gonna back down at |
3824s | all he's trying to hold his position he |
3826s | thinks he does have the advantage which |
3828s | he does with a little bit of height but |
3829s | he has to watch out into the distance |
3830s | the third party is there but a little |
3832s | bit of a blessing as it allows him to |
3834s | get a little bit more storm surge in his |
3836s | back pocket before disengaging and |
3837s | rotating all together these are the |
3839s | things you have to watch out for if him |
3840s | and scared don't necessarily have |
3842s | Mobility they can't lay it all on the |
3844s | line in a fight that is in storm you can |
3846s | have the feed there scoped does find |
3849s | Visual so it looks like things concluded |
3851s | on that side |
3852s | now we get to hop in with Booga in |
3854s | threats who has the bridge |
3859s | trying to put himself in a more primed |
3861s | position they do have zone two so very |
3864s | excellent spot to be in here |
3867s | an already whole top ten not that just |
3870s | like last game though got a South Zone |
3873s | with a western pool teams got to start |
3876s | catching on to a lot of |
3879s | of where the zone is going very very |
3881s | early on with the kinetic blades you |
3882s | don't want to get caught out and talk |
3885s | about getting caught though Canada he |
3886s | goes down that's a yamso who's able to |
3888s | find that first elimination and once |
3890s | again just like last game agers is left |
3892s | by himself he was able to put up 68 or |
3895s | 60 points in that last game some of it |
3897s | as a solo some of it not let's see if we |
3899s | can do it again it's crazy how he's |
3900s | actually managed to find a functioning |
3902s | Loadout though even though he was |
3904s | completely pushed off of the racetrack |
3906s | literally bounces back brings back |
3907s | Kanata kind of falls again and remember |
3910s | they're in the top five right now yes |
3912s | it's only game one but an excellent |
3913s | performance for a team that's being |
3915s | contested you find yourself with such a |
3917s | huge Advantage you do not want to give |
3919s | away you already have one of the biggest |
3921s | challenges and hurdles in front of you |
3922s | it's staying alive for Dragon and Elise |
3924s | they are staying alive too they wrap up |
3927s | now and see this is the second time now |
3928s | we've seen this team pretty much tackle |
3931s | a crew like nounsy they're looking very |
3934s | well here yeah it's a team that I feel |
3936s | like it's just only a matter of time |
3937s | before they continue to perform at their |
3941s | potential at their ceiling they are one |
3943s | of the teams that kind of benefited to |
3945s | the combined regions going on over to |
3947s | Central their peeing got that much |
3948s | better so I expect them to kind of |
3950s | continuously progress as the days go on |
3953s | as visuals ends up in a tight spot he |
3955s | watches braids go down and Dom on the |
3957s | other side he's gonna be on the |
3958s | receiving end of a huge trade he needs |
3960s | that siphon if he's going to be a solo |
3961s | so you can see that |
3963s | excitement on his face he was animated |
3965s | he's feeling pretty good but scope Mason |
3967s | come right on in Finish things up dust |
3971s | under the rug Muzz and D gen after game |
3974s | one victory |
3975s | looking pretty good here slow and steady |
3978s | wins the race for them a sleeper Duo |
3981s | undoubtedly Degen people forget have all |
3985s | of that that experience of not only |
3988s | playing for placement but performing in |
3990s | end games he's one of those sleeper |
3992s | absolute sleeper Duos or uh individuals |
3995s | that we have here in the uh the fortnite |
3996s | space yeah you can see where they're |
3998s | kind of setting up on a little bit of a |
4000s | mountain that's already there in the |
4001s | distance they see Mega's Tower high in |
4004s | the sky that's not something they want |
4005s | to challenge which is why they put that |
4006s | ramp up but from one side of the map to |
4009s | the next Mega City where you already see |
4011s | re and epic but get that Mythic Havoc |
4013s | pump very very early on but we want to |
4016s | see how they're handling surge in that |
4018s | last game it was kind of their demise at |
4020s | the end of the day and with very very |
4022s | mirrored zones from the last game now |
4024s | they have a chance to kind of change |
4026s | things up adapt on the Fly and see what |
4029s | they're really made of because we know |
4030s | they're one of the top contenders in |
4031s | this Lobby it's crazy to think that re |
4033s | and epic whale be one of the one of the |
4035s | teams facing the Troubles of needing |
4038s | damage when they are literally one of |
4040s | the most highly sought after pois the |
4043s | mega City |
4045s | everyone just playing to that that same |
4048s | strategy build a single Tower base user |
4050s | Red Dot look for free tags it's kind of |
4054s | tough when everyone plays so passively |
4056s | you don't get those freebies out the |
4057s | gate there's jumper and crew looking |
4060s | really solid as well just trying to set |
4061s | up here heavy hitting rifle in hand |
4064s | gotta watch out to him and jumper our |
4067s | separator you know as well as I do if a |
4068s | team spots you out as a solo whether |
4070s | your Duo is alive or not they are going |
4072s | to try to pounce but the race continues |
4074s | hopefully agers has his sneakers laced |
4077s | up pretty tightly because the Rays |
4079s | tracks all the way to the other side of |
4081s | the map has fonte and Peter bought so |
4084s | many Duos have a chance to take shots |
4086s | and now it's Ponte and peterbot's chance |
4088s | and if last game |
4090s | has any pressure on them for quanti and |
4092s | peterbot they know they gotta deal with |
4093s | surge they know they gotta go ahead and |
4095s | try to make it to Zone because the |
4096s | longer they stay out here the harder it |
4098s | is going to be at this point there must |
4099s | be some some stat waiting to get at it |
4102s | around like uh Adrian has officially |
4104s | potentially survived in most tier one |
4107s | Duos in a single game like trying to |
4110s | bring back and see I'm sure there's |
4112s | something just waiting some record to be |
4114s | broken right now all of course because |
4115s | the kinetic blade allows you to just |
4116s | Traverse the entire Fortnight space so |
4119s | quickly |
4121s | but it looks like he will be able to |
4122s | bring back Kanata potentially right now |
4123s | yeah Quantum crew say hey dog he's gone |
4126s | yeah I think the only trouble they're |
4128s | gonna have is storm surge but if they |
4130s | continue to go to the southern portion |
4132s | of the Zone if it continues to pull |
4133s | South as well they will end up on a |
4135s | slower side of the Zone eventually |
4137s | probably when Sphinx the team that I |
4139s | love to see perform week after week and |
4141s | you can see during the weekly finals |
4142s | eight of the 18 games were won by a |
4145s | contested duo in n a and that's huge |
4148s | because a lot of people kind of see it |
4150s | I'm doomed I'm a contestant my fncs is |
4152s | over this is running a whole different |
4155s | script right before our very eyes yeah |
4156s | the thing is like we said historically |
4158s | speaking the stats say if you are |
4160s | contested |
4161s | don't have too many chances at you know |
4164s | bringing home the full Championship not |
4165s | a single team has been able to do that |
4167s | the best place and we've seen is |
4168s | actually around fourth I believe so that |
4171s | is about as difficult it can get but I |
4173s | would say in recent times it's changing |
4176s | I think we're seeing better performances |
4177s | from teams that are contested as teams |
4179s | with many shape become more consistent |
4181s | Acorn and cold team that everybody in |
4185s | fortnite or at least the large majority |
4187s | kind of counts as one of the favorites |
4189s | to repeat back to back here at fncs |
4192s | Major two but with only eight points so |
4195s | far there was only the couple |
4196s | eliminations in that first game going |
4198s | down before a lot of that placement |
4199s | begins to pick in they need to start |
4201s | getting on Pace here a pace that we know |
4203s | they can have |
4205s | and do keep in mind let's frame this |
4207s | picture for everyone this is the most |
4209s | competitive Lobby we have ever seen as |
4211s | far as the North American region goes |
4213s | because we have this full on merger the |
4216s | player base is larger the pool of |
4218s | competitors is just literally better and |
4221s | for the first time again on the North |
4223s | American region we have |
4225s | multi-regional fncs Champions competing |
4227s | against one another on an online event |
4229s | so this fncs from North America really |
4232s | is on paper probably the the most crazy |
4237s | we've ever seen |
4238s | with only three spots up for grabs for |
4241s | that Global championship at the end of |
4243s | the year that's why teams are making |
4245s | that big risk DJ and Muzz winning game |
4247s | number one taking High Ground very very |
4250s | late in that game now they're going for |
4251s | Rift Island early but another team is |
4253s | slowly but surely trying to close that |
4255s | same distance well what was free and |
4257s | game number one for reading Epico may |
4259s | not necessarily be the same here for DJ |
4262s | muds we talked about that from game one |
4263s | to game two there's gonna be players and |
4266s | teams that become more and more old with |
4269s | their decisions these Rift islands are |
4272s | not just going to be given away teams |
4273s | are going to begin fighting for it when |
4275s | you need to take your game and make the |
4278s | best of it you have to go for the best |
4280s | odds and best odds means get the best |
4282s | weapons as the two teams and even land |
4283s | near shattered slabs and that's death |
4285s | and Tahoe that have that Vault loot |
4287s | already and Vijay must know it's there |
4289s | they know to watch out that one shot |
4291s | potential could end your run in a |
4294s | singular second and that's why you see |
4296s | them trying to break through they're |
4297s | trying to get the peace control |
4298s | underneath their own as the agent kind |
4301s | of repositions I don't think this is a |
4302s | fight they want to go ahead and continue |
4304s | to take no the mar the margin of error |
4306s | is so slim it doesn't even have a |
4307s | shotgun not only that they're in first |
4309s | place there's quite literally no reason |
4312s | for them to fall this early in the game |
4314s | when you have an entire game of fortnite |
4317s | in front of you how much is that rifle |
4319s | worth to you not that much they did just |
4320s | fine without it yep see if they can kind |
4322s | of perform with both the Vault and the |
4325s | rift Island |
4327s | this is going to be something that's |
4328s | inevitable it's dragon and a liege we |
4331s | saw them win their offspawn exchange to |
4332s | start this game off they got eight more |
4334s | points to their total and quickly |
4336s | rotating from point A to point B and |
4338s | always trying to gather that information |
4340s | of a team is trying to rotate for free |
4342s | on the outskirts they're gonna go ahead |
4344s | and land a couple of shots but with so |
4346s | many superstars in this Lobby Kelly I |
4348s | gotta go ahead and throw it to you to go |
4350s | ahead and let us know what some of the |
4351s | other teams are doing |
4353s | well if we're talking about superstars |
4355s | then of course we have to talk about the |
4357s | multi-regional champion Muzz not only |
4360s | representing Oceana but also a North |
4362s | American East Champion and now looking |
4364s | to claim his spot as the n a central |
4366s | champion and grabbing that first VR from |
4369s | game one is a great start to it and with |
4371s | the Zone pulling back again over to |
4373s | shattered slabs game number two might be |
4375s | in their pocket |
4377s | it's an excellent breakdown there right |
4378s | and we did see they gave up the rift |
4381s | Island so they actually said Hey listen |
4382s | let's just get on out of there uh |
4384s | judging by the loadout agers Loadout |
4386s | they got a little bit better he doesn't |
4387s | have to shotgun now so at least there |
4389s | were some upgrades for them but it's |
4391s | cost them so much he hasn't quite found |
4392s | the material that he needed they were |
4394s | already desperately trying to farm their |
4395s | way back in Oh Canada right now are back |
4398s | in the round though they can fight |
4400s | backwards got two different teams around |
4402s | trying to make it a focus but that north |
4405s | side that team that was trying to focus |
4408s | them and make a mean sandwich they get |
4410s | kind of food passed on the other side |
4412s | and it's forcing them to rotate you |
4415s | don't want to be the team that falls |
4416s | behind on the congested part of the zone |
4418s | and Aegis a Kanata they have so much to |
4420s | worry about storm surge matting up |
4422s | getting resources and rotating its own |
4425s | and that's why you see teams like epic |
4427s | well and Reit they're flying above |
4428s | they're trying to get there first so |
4430s | they can continue to keep these teams |
4431s | out yep on free time they may be friends |
4434s | but here in this Lobby everyone is in I |
4437s | mean read an epic whale right now have |
4439s | to really claw their way back from the |
4441s | gutters right now they're currently |
4442s | standing in 29th Place The Surge is now |
4445s | active give it a second let that number |
4447s | on the side upgrade there it is we see |
4449s | it 53 below once again for this second |
4452s | time in a row now unexpected to us epic |
4455s | whale and reef find themselves under the |
4456s | snow challenge |
4457s | similar zones and back-to-back games |
4459s | forcing this team to move from Mega City |
4461s | to the west where you talked about these |
4463s | Champions not Acorn called the bolts and |
4466s | Thor the reigning champions from the |
4468s | former N.A west region before we |
4470s | combined into just n a and the shots are |
4472s | firing through reach trying to escape |
4474s | but he goes down that leaves a lot of |
4476s | pressure onto epic bone you can see he's |
4478s | not rotating straight to be the Savior |
4480s | he's just trying to stay alive he got |
4481s | both from thork on one side yamzo and |
4484s | ryze on the other and a whole another |
4485s | team right in front of them so epic well |
4488s | as his solo definitely has his work cut |
4490s | out man the struggle that he is on right |
4492s | now and you can see it playing out yes |
4494s | he finds his tackle he is a man down you |
4497s | take this fight by himself potentially I |
4499s | think he's eyeing out Mars I believe he |
4502s | thinks he's a solo he's feeling better |
4505s | enough to go in and push forward doesn't |
4506s | quite find him almost caught him there |
4508s | now things starts to slow down he did |
4510s | hear one Splash go down yup that's gonna |
4512s | be enough for him to pump the brakes |
4514s | here sees that there's a player also |
4516s | inside the building he is surrounded |
4518s | danger everywhere |
4523s | no somebody else is there that's Larson |
4525s | and user they were the ones who took |
4527s | down yamso literally just seconds ago |
4529s | and that's why you see ryze is trying to |
4530s | hide |
4531s | minimize the amount of audio cues that |
4533s | he has given up to try to stay alive the |
4535s | solo points mean so much in a two-day |
4537s | tournament |
4538s | and that's exactly why you see agers |
4540s | literally flying around the map rather |
4543s | solo just to get Canada back not once |
4545s | but two different times in the same game |
4548s | if they're able to pull off a victory |
4550s | Royale I feel like that might be history |
4552s | in the making I've been talking about it |
4553s | they could be one of the first teams to |
4555s | ever take a team down with quantity |
4557s | finds Andrews and Kanata charging up |
4559s | that kinetic blades Kanata gets crushed |
4562s | on the way out and Ager sticks behind to |
4564s | play defense here and fend off points he |
4566s | has put down enough packs he might just |
4568s | get it yes there it is the siphon he's |
4569s | gonna keep him alive they much much |
4571s | needed this loot oh my gosh what a |
4573s | pickup that was it might have been |
4575s | actually the best Ambush that could have |
4577s | happened to them because quantity was a |
4579s | literal loot llama you gotta go ahead |
4581s | and give a little bit of credit though |
4583s | that was crazy the Mythic munition so |
4586s | even though Ager was down on loot he was |
4588s | able to get that mythical Tactical |
4590s | Pistol and already putting it to use |
4592s | because that broke through the cover and |
4594s | started off a lot of that damage as epic |
4596s | well six total fncs champions most of |
4599s | any player here in this Lobby |
4602s | this is what somebody has made of this |
4604s | is what makes somebody a champion and |
4606s | all these points that epic well could |
4608s | potentially pick up as a solo is really |
4610s | going to mean the difference from a team |
4611s | which are backs up against the wall with |
4613s | only two games played and a team that |
4615s | has a little bit more comfortability on |
4616s | their side and there's an apple there I |
4618s | don't know what you want to do with that |
4619s | if you will keep the doctor away take it |
4622s | do something I don't know dude he's got |
4624s | a lot of space here just a single wood |
4627s | piece of build to work with now |
4630s | and it is a tough position to be in it |
4634s | was Kanata in ages who just slid in from |
4636s | outside the Zone man Kanata must be |
4639s | scratching his head here at is he lucky |
4642s | or unlucky I don't know right is he |
4644s | having the one of the toughest games |
4646s | what are the greatest games the fact |
4647s | that he is back in it and able to have a |
4649s | chance at maintaining the top five I |
4653s | didn't expect him to be doing this well |
4654s | but look they are and now three |
4655s | eliminations yeah this that's huge |
4657s | because I said it in game one because |
4659s | out of probably one of the best solo |
4661s | players in the game ages say yo hold on |
4664s | hold my slurp juice you are not gonna |
4666s | just disrespect me like that and then he |
4668s | now is making solo play after solo |
4670s | played surprising though that they are |
4672s | kind of close even down on surge |
4674s | flirting with that line even though they |
4676s | have three eliminations she goes to show |
4678s | that everybody in this Lobby may not be |
4680s | the healthiest at this stage of the game |
4682s | yep for sure there it is surge is gonna |
4684s | get active to conclude the story though |
4685s | Pollo does take out epic whales so he is |
4688s | now down and out one less big team to |
4691s | worry about let's jump on over to Duke |
4693s | who now has found himself pretty much |
4695s | trailing in the lead here another big |
4698s | game for them five eliminations and |
4700s | we're only just now getting to this end |
4703s | game here good chunk of teams you have |
4705s | to fall before we hit that next place |
4706s | you can threshold but we are getting |
4708s | very close now |
4710s | seeing that honestly you got to expect |
4712s | them to perform at almost every stage of |
4715s | the game it's just about consistency |
4716s | that comes out for them you saw them |
4718s | place at the top of the leaderboard in |
4719s | that first game that's amount of |
4721s | confidence that you can hold on from one |
4723s | game to the next is Jeff and Rapid they |
4725s | don't have any eliminations yet they're |
4727s | 107 below the damage threshold trying to |
4729s | take advantage of anybody flying through |
4731s | the sky trying to get in the zone even |
4732s | if that is gonna be booba they spotted |
4734s | him out as a solo now they're trying to |
4736s | close the distance and take advantage |
4737s | while they can the harder this one gets |
4740s | is when everybody is close together but |
4742s | you can see they've got the farthest |
4743s | pull the Zone it's now or never for them |
4745s | I was gonna ask you what do you think |
4746s | about that they've gone the complete |
4749s | opposite way |
4750s | hey that could be a blessing in disguise |
4752s | because while that whole right side of |
4753s | the map is so congested it's hard to go |
4755s | through the left side doesn't have that |
4757s | many people but it makes it easier to |
4759s | spot people when you look back and Jeff |
4760s | was on the receiving end of so much |
4762s | damage but it's a trade for him that's |
4764s | the way he's doing it still 12 damage to |
4766s | go he's 168 now thanks to Rapid finding |
4769s | a couple shots on the other side but |
4771s | with everybody already beginning to |
4773s | rotate that's going to put them in such |
4775s | a tricky position of when and where |
4776s | they're gonna find their own rotation |
4778s | but we'll say you'd love to see oh pairs |
4781s | or sides of the duo putting up the |
4783s | numbers and Performing jumping on into |
4785s | tahi and death here two eliminations for |
4788s | them right now it's a very tight spot to |
4790s | be in here they're very much below the |
4792s | surge shots are coming in as well that's |
4794s | only uh the beginning of their troubles |
4797s | here as the dust starts to settle thoric |
4800s | is going to fall to Sphinx there batch |
4802s | finds one too so big big fights going on |
4804s | here tahi reacts though on to pump |
4806s | pumped all he was going to get himself a |
4807s | nice little tag there no no sir yes when |
4810s | you don't expect back for somebody to |
4811s | have that Mythic Havoc pump the one shot |
4813s | potential trashy daring enough to try to |
4815s | peek back a trade-in shot's gonna come |
4817s | through but now he's on the ad Advanced |
4819s | Assad as he takes down tahi as well |
4821s | that's gonna be a huge elimination |
4823s | because not only is he able to get |
4824s | pumped back out of the game he got |
4826s | himself his own Mythic having that was |
4828s | good though you know trashy pump the way |
4830s | they played this one out yeah pump got |
4832s | hurt but he calls it he said not bro |
4833s | finish him that was a lucky shot don't |
4835s | worry about it it's pretty crazy let's |
4836s | jump into Clarity G Casper here finding |
4840s | themselves on the in the line of sight |
4842s | of Batman Booga here they just lice him |
4844s | up just like that in Batman Booga no |
4846s | scratches the head tough getting caught |
4849s | out on a rotate right now tough position |
4851s | to be in you hate to get laced up like |
4853s | that yep from Batman booger though to |
4855s | Booga himself him in threats he's going |
4858s | through 54 points so far Mythic |
4860s | Munitions as well and that's a great |
4863s | chance to really find The Surge that |
4864s | you're looking for even though they're |
4865s | already above you're able to fire shot |
4867s | after shout out after shot and just |
4869s | laser people out of the sky Isabel book |
4871s | is gonna try to lead the charge leave |
4873s | threat deal all the damage just kanana |
4875s | is down ages once again by himself but |
4877s | honestly Kanata set it himself a few |
4879s | seasons ago in an interview I love my |
4881s | teammate he can pop off I have all the |
4883s | trucks in the world and now he's gonna |
4884s | have to trust him again and we're really |
4887s | seeing it play out right now and not |
4888s | only that Kanata he was brought back |
4890s | finds an elimination before getting |
4892s | taken out again there too so this is now |
4895s | four alien for them they're right back |
4897s | into the game but still below that storm |
4899s | surge this could be the thing that top |
4901s | of them over it really could be now |
4903s | we've seen them overcome Mountain after |
4906s | Mountain but how many times can they |
4909s | jump this hurdle how much stamina do |
4911s | they have |
4912s | azer's here looking to battle out eyes |
4914s | up High Ground says wait that's just one |
4915s | player thinks about it misses though |
4917s | they don't build out in front of him and |
4918s | he does touchdown just in time to go and |
4920s | heal up but let's jump to fast let's |
4922s | jump to Pam still the French Canadians |
4924s | are here already popping off in game |
4926s | number one trying to have that read me |
4928s | performance over 600 above and |
4930s | immediately trying to get to the front |
4931s | side of Zone as ages goes down to at |
4933s | least Acorn and cold they're able to |
4936s | take down a liege himself leave a dragon |
4937s | as a solo and finally they're proven |
4940s | they are the team to beat but they still |
4942s | got more to do cold gets chunked out |
4944s | Acorn has to be the igl and lead the way |
4946s | and allow for cold to buy some time and |
4948s | stabilize himself in this position |
4950s | that's already gonna come to fruition as |
4952s | duke also by himself trying to look to |
4954s | the back side of the Zone trying to |
4955s | catch anybody off guard but he doesn't |
4957s | necessarily need this elimination it's |
4959s | information that's important to him on |
4961s | high ground bluega and threats get taken |
4963s | out though and the flare guns are going |
4964s | out as well so the information is given |
4966s | out to the lobby here Bryce Charlton |
4968s | ultimate low here trying to size their |
4969s | way around the side to your threats and |
4971s | Booga have to fight back for it it's a |
4973s | battle for high ground and they do |
4975s | manage to maintain some positioning but |
4977s | they are punished in the process what |
4979s | could have been a win was fought back |
4981s | from zaifa in on one the West crew is |
4984s | here and ready to fight Duke finds Bucky |
4986s | there and the full finish too make that |
4988s | seven for him now at least them they |
4991s | have ocus trying to stay alive and |
4992s | capture Point Cole goes down to Poyo |
4994s | that's gonna leave Acorn by himself but |
4996s | we know he was already in shambles it |
4998s | might be a blessing in disguise for a |
5000s | loud cold or Acorn I should say that |
5001s | freedom to move around as a solo where |
5004s | you don't have to worry about anybody |
5005s | else's Clarity casters they get sent |
5007s | back to the lobby and Poyo who week |
5009s | after week all three weekly finals has |
5011s | been surprising us with him and sphinx |
5014s | now he still has some more to prove as a |
5016s | solo big names under the belt there My |
5017s | Pan still Is Now by himself too no |
5019s | teammate Insight here elevations looking |
5022s | a little spooky here it's like I gotta |
5024s | get down but I don't want to be the |
5025s | first to touchdown apron tries to go for |
5026s | it gets caught on the lay on down it's |
5028s | fine swatted out the sky there by the |
5031s | hands of Bryce here and do another solo |
5033s | look at this 11 players up eight Duos |
5035s | there are all types of solos here in |
5038s | play right now yeah this is huge though |
5039s | for Duke you can stop at the top of the |
5041s | leaderboard in that last game get a good |
5043s | spot now he's trying to do it again him |
5045s | and edgy they need this Booga drops down |
5047s | low he saw them get him up high very |
5049s | very early on with very very little help |
5051s | to work with threads gets taught towards |
5053s | the back side but fuga's gonna solidify |
5055s | himself into the top four can he go even |
5057s | farther into this game miro's right |
5060s | above a huge taxi to come through our |
5062s | final two teams Dukes by himself tries |
5064s | to chop down Bryce Chubbs is underneath |
5066s | as well they're trying to make a Duke |
5067s | sandwiches he's trying to get out alive |
5069s | Bryce kinetic plays out he takes a lot |
5071s | of damage to the store Duke can do it |
5073s | and knock's gonna go through but it's |
5074s | not enough Duke goes down Bryce and |
5076s | Chubbs take game two that was crazy for |
5079s | a moment there it could have been his |
5081s | but tubs managed to do just enough |
5084s | damage for Bryce to go ahead and finish |
5086s | things up with a one-top there what a |
5089s | game that was in a ridiculous exchange |
5091s | of hands I may have |
5093s | it was kind of going to show that the |
5095s | Cubs and Bryce even though they might |
5097s | not necessarily the vote no they might |
5099s | not necessarily be seen as the |
5101s | superstars of the region that means |
5103s | absolutely nothing to them because |
5105s | whether they're going to take it by |
5106s | storm take it by surprise they're gonna |
5108s | take it no matter what it's crazy |
5109s | because it could have ended right there |
5111s | Bryson Chubbs had a moment to fight back |
5114s | and they took advantage of it they found |
5116s | Booga too went away for them to close it |
5118s | up yep but after two games the |
5120s | leaderboard is already being shaken up |
5123s | Zeke we need you man we need you to make |
5125s | some sense of this |
5127s | listen Jacob for a moment I just blinked |
5129s | it I feel like I missed it you know uh |
5131s | chubs was just smooth dude this guy was |
5133s | slick with it just boom connect boom |
5136s | boom eliminations left right and center |
5138s | but for Bryce and Chubbs hey a victory |
5140s | Royale and eight eliminations Vivid on a |
5143s | stage like this when a with a caliber of |
5146s | Duos like this yeah statement |
5149s | well we you know we saw we actually saw |
5151s | buga and threats were on the higher |
5153s | ground and then they got shot out and I |
5154s | I feel like you know Bryce and shelves |
5156s | they just took full advantage of that |
5157s | ended up on the higher ground you know |
5160s | since it was so late when they actually |
5161s | were able to get up onto that Lair they |
5164s | were just able to build out for the rest |
5165s | of the lobby let everybody else fight |
5166s | and it was close there at the end I |
5168s | think both them collectively had like |
5169s | less than 100 HP and Duke was alive |
5172s | almost you know giving him the chance to |
5174s | 1v2 them but there you have it there's |
5175s | Bill all the way up here waiting for |
5177s | everybody else kind of fight it out on |
5178s | the low ground you're saying to like if |
5180s | you blink you're gonna miss it we can |
5182s | just see in this replay |
5183s | Chum's eyes was locked on everybody I |
5187s | mean just literally could see where |
5189s | everybody was was very aware of all |
5191s | where all the players were and we're |
5192s | getting it was getting elimination |
5193s | backpacks back it was very cool to see |
5195s | but if you if you look to you quit |
5197s | you're gonna miss it so I'm excited to |
5199s | like I'm so pumped that they were able |
5201s | to perform so well they weren't some of |
5203s | the top teams we talked about but again |
5204s | like we could have some really big |
5205s | performances from some of the underdogs |
5207s | yeah I like them and that's kind of |
5209s | where I'm at as well right A lot of |
5211s | these higher profile dues were just used |
5213s | to seeing haven't quite come online just |
5215s | yet now this is only game two we have 12 |
5218s | total right but still when we look at |
5221s | the standings I feel like this is kind |
5222s | of starting to paint a little bit of a |
5223s | picture for us take a look here dukes |
5226s | and edgy they are now in that number one |
5228s | spot now for Bryce and Chubbs they are |
5231s | up nine places after that single game |
5234s | right those eliminations look at this 12 |
5237s | Vivid those are extremely valuable yeah |
5240s | 12 but somebody who has even more |
5242s | getting more value out of the |
5244s | eliminations Four Points each gonna be |
5246s | Duke and edgy and you know I feel like |
5249s | it's just all about momentum when it |
5251s | comes to the all-spawn situation you |
5253s | know we didn't really get to see much of |
5254s | it actually unfold that game they like |
5256s | left their spawn with four eliminations |
5259s | somehow not really sure like what's |
5260s | going on I knew that the south side of |
5262s | the map was gonna be like this fast |
5264s | where people were trying to steal loot |
5266s | from people and right now Duke and edsy |
5268s | aren't having any of it and they're just |
5269s | eliminating anybody who kind of dares to |
5271s | do that I love the aggression that we're |
5273s | seeing from them in a positive way again |
5274s | because they're not they're not making |
5275s | on you know they're making very smart |
5278s | decisions and rotates and again like we |
5281s | can just see this the way that they play |
5283s | this game is so intelligent so smart and |
5285s | that's why we've seen them on the screen |
5286s | so much recently like Jacob have been |
5288s | talking about them and I honestly think |
5290s | that they're going to continue to keep |
5291s | talking about them and we'll see a lot |
5293s | more highlights from them in the future |
5294s | of course you know a lot of these |
5295s | eliminations coming from duke himself as |
5297s | a solo those solo performances mean so |
5300s | much when it comes to these fncs lobbies |
5302s | that almost went a different direction |
5304s | exactly right Duke almost did pull that |
5307s | off and for him and edgy like edgy |
5309s | looking for that fncs title to be where |
5312s | they are we just have to hope that that |
5315s | momentum continues I do want to get to |
5317s | you looking down the settings of someone |
5318s | like hamster and fetch I mean these guys |
5321s | are some of the most wholesome players |
5323s | to on the scene here nna to see them in |
5326s | that third place spot up to seven |
5328s | placements as well you just need one |
5330s | good game right and then you could be |
5332s | looking to contest for those top three |
5334s | spots yeah and a team that you know can |
5336s | definitely have those hop-off games is |
5337s | going to be Booga and threats up seven |
5338s | places as well finding themselves in the |
5341s | top five now that game was really really |
5343s | good for them they had this eighth Zone |
5345s | rotation where they found the dead side |
5346s | on the west side of the Zone we're able |
5349s | to make that rotate you know pretty much |
5350s | just free and then when they got through |
5353s | that rotate they pretty much just built |
5355s | up on The High Ground which you can see |
5356s | that position right here right now also |
5358s | using that a thick pistol to get some |
5360s | tags in unfortunately for them though |
5362s | they did they did get chopped out here |
5364s | they were probably going to win this |
5365s | game if this didn't actually happen to |
5367s | them nonetheless though still a good |
5369s | game from them I was gonna mention that |
5370s | yeah getting chopped out it's just it's |
5372s | unfortunate it happens but again if they |
5375s | can figure out the perfect time to take |
5377s | that height in these future games I'm |
5378s | curious to see if they will continue |
5380s | going for high if they will play |
5381s | mid-ground yeah and if it's anything |
5383s | that we know about n a throughout this |
5385s | season throughout the weeks is that they |
5386s | have been more you know potent to |
5389s | actually shoot towards some of those |
5390s | teams that are building those High |
5391s | Ground layers of course this season has |
5393s | just been about just the floor and The |
5395s | Cone basically so a lot of these teams |
5397s | are really really easy to shoot out just |
5400s | a matter of somebody's gonna do it or |
5401s | not that game somebody did it you know |
5403s | when as we kind of get to this |
5405s | conversation of moving up one quick one |
5407s | Acorn cold suddenly in that top 10 of 19 |
5410s | places now really quickly we want to |
5412s | highlight some of the storm surge |
5414s | situations we're seeing develop here uh |
5418s | cease we had an opportunity talk to him |
5419s | at the very beginning beginning of the |
5421s | show and I don't even know that I want |
5423s | to call this storm surge it's more like |
5425s | storm sickness it's like dancing around |
5428s | the lobby right we're going to take a |
5430s | look at some of their positions when it |
5432s | comes to the early game of course you |
5434s | know this season has developed so many |
5436s | times the meta has changed and one thing |
5438s | that this season kind of started off |
5439s | with is that you didn't want to stay in |
5441s | the storm because you know winning these |
5442s | games required you to heal off so if you |
5444s | took a lot of storm damage then you |
5445s | would get storm sixes but take a look at |
5447s | cease and tragic knowing the meta very |
5449s | very well Landing all the way over at |
5451s | brutal Bastion and just staying there |
5453s | right like all these teams are making |
5454s | the rotates in and they're just like nah |
5456s | we're fine you might be like all right |
5457s | well they're gonna white light at the |
5458s | zone right they gotta get the zone no |
5460s | they're still gonna just go out pretty |
5461s | much even further in the zone and the |
5463s | key thing here that they're going from |
5464s | brutal Bastion they can go into the |
5466s | Vault get a lot of feels they can go |
5467s | over to a big POI like this Citadel get |
5470s | more heels to stay out in the zone and |
5472s | then finally we'll see them actually |
5473s | start to make their way into the zone |
5475s | and look at this they avoid the |
5477s | congested side if they would have went |
5478s | in in directly white line in it over on |
5481s | that East Side look how many teams they |
5482s | would have been next to now coming in |
5484s | over here just a couple to deal with |
5485s | yeah and it is very interesting because |
5487s | again like we talked to him and he was |
5488s | very confident about their strategies |
5490s | and their gameplay coming into this so |
5491s | I'm sure that they have a reasoning for |
5493s | this and maybe we'll see it in these |
5495s | coming up games yeah absolutely I mean |
5497s | again I don't know that a storm surge |
5499s | more of a storm to sickness but it's |
5500s | working right and with 10 more games to |
5502s | go maybe they can make something huge |
5505s | happen here I've I've I feel like the |
5509s | first games now were we've we started to |
5511s | bring up the heat a little bit anything |
5512s | you're hoping to see moving forward |
5513s | Vivid you know cold got five |
5515s | eliminations that game Acorn doing this |
5517s | thing solo impact points more of that |
5519s | I'd love to see him I'd love to see it |
5521s | agreed yeah I just want to see these |
5522s | teams can to continue to put their foot |
5524s | forward and put up the best performance |
5526s | they have hey it's now or never because |
5529s | we're drawing ever closer to the |
5530s | conclusion of major number two but we |
5534s | have more games I want to watch for |
5536s | fortnite and I know you do as well so |
5537s | let's get back to all the action this is |
5540s | game three |
5543s | foreign |
5544s | that's right it's Grand finals weekend |
5547s | two games down another one is up to be |
5551s | served here next we are inching our way |
5553s | towards crowning some new folks not only |
5555s | the fscs Champions but of course |
5557s | potential advocates for the globals |
5560s | three spots up for grabs that's what |
5562s | you're referring to monster and third |
5565s | game is ready that's a bunch of Threes |
5567s | here today and hopefully one of these |
5569s | teams could really step up to the plate |
5571s | we've seen a lot of consistency so far |
5573s | Duke and edgy Bryce and Chubbs Pam's |
5576s | doing fats somebody has to start to slow |
5579s | these guys down and take their own game |
5582s | under control as much as possible you |
5585s | don't want to end up down on the |
5587s | leaderboard day two forced to get |
5589s | eliminations to make up for lost time |
5591s | and already you see our game number two |
5593s | Victory Royale winners Bryce and Chubbs |
5595s | uncontested over towards the split drop |
5597s | just outside of Breakwater Bay you know |
5599s | it's crazy they won that game and and I |
5601s | just completely and I mean completely |
5603s | forgotten they could tested the |
5606s | well-performing Shadow and paper even |
5608s | after falling in that last game to |
5610s | maintain a top nine this is this is such |
5612s | oh you know again already a story that I |
5616s | wanted to see play out and go in the |
5617s | favors Canada major but the the wrench |
5620s | that was thrown in game two Bucky |
5622s | sliding up and quite literally cleaning |
5625s | up agers |
5627s | in Canada there forcing them out of the |
5629s | drop taking advantage of their POI and |
5632s | and sniping all the loot they still did |
5635s | so well and now Canadian agers get the |
5637s | two elims that they were looking for and |
5639s | they are able to finally loot |
5642s | I'm gonna give yourself a lot of time to |
5644s | work with this time around that's a |
5646s | blessing for them is on one zaifa they |
5648s | bust themselves once more another |
5650s | off-spawn exchange and that's the thing |
5653s | on one his former teammate Baka look at |
5656s | this going into the fncs Invitational |
5657s | they had a drop spot Southern on the map |
5659s | the day of the event they switch it up |
5662s | all together they can test and they were |
5664s | one of the highest placing n a West |
5666s | teams let me just tell you a little |
5667s | story about on one as well I walked up |
5669s | to him he's like looking around the |
5671s | Bobby he says yo malibucca let's fight |
5673s | and they load up they go head to head |
5676s | it's like yo this kid's crazy he's just |
5678s | there ready to take on literally anyone |
5681s | showing them like put some respect on us |
5683s | we're here yeah I'm a controller player |
5685s | but I'm gonna show you how good I am it |
5687s | was insane we had some ridiculous fun |
5689s | head to heads you can find the Clips |
5692s | online trust but let's jump into this we |
5694s | have trashy pump eyeing up quality and |
5696s | jock right now he's having a hard time |
5698s | as I'm already pressuring the walls here |
5700s | I like this little pincer maneuver |
5701s | they're trying to work out here but yeah |
5702s | you can see it's gonna get punished |
5704s | there I think it's TK and crew also |
5706s | firing in from behind so a lot of eyes |
5708s | here it's not a completely safe two on |
5711s | two but for now it's chocolate I think |
5714s | have the advantage here |
5716s | so they've earned this taking down boats |
5719s | trashy and pump at this stage |
5721s | and this is big for them they gotta |
5723s | start to get that ball rolling even |
5725s | though there is 12 games spread out |
5727s | between two days the farther you are on |
5729s | the leaderboard going into day number |
5731s | two you have to make up for that lost |
5733s | time just like yamzo and Rise not |
5735s | necessarily having the best two games in |
5738s | which they know they can have that's why |
5739s | here before the halfway point they're |
5741s | gonna try to turn it up a notch they |
5742s | gotta perform here it starts with this |
5744s | battle against Nick and nicks |
5746s | see I'm doing rise right now |
5748s | looking for the walls here not only |
5751s | taking of course the material gains but |
5753s | an advantage the surrounding area there |
5756s | it is the double shotgun shot the wall |
5758s | Falls pretty quickly there |
5761s | Nix and Nick here already lost this |
5763s | battle once in game two |
5765s | learning adjusting here being a little |
5768s | bit sharper with the counter fire what a |
5771s | great find too the chest there to give |
5772s | them the option the Havoc shock in there |
5775s | of course the material that comes out of |
5777s | it as well is just a great pickup |
5778s | resource management is huge and an |
5780s | offspawn fight like this but you gotta |
5782s | watch out |
5783s | and the third party is coming in that's |
5785s | Bucky and Oak is over towards the |
5787s | outside you saw what they did last game |
5789s | to tonight in ages there's nothing to |
5790s | repeat that to another team and as he |
5792s | also catches Nick off guard that's going |
5794s | to be a huge cleanup but time is running |
5796s | out they need to be able to get the next |
5797s | one and they do down goes Knicks but in |
5800s | the distance we talked about it Bucky |
5802s | and ocus they're right there on the |
5803s | other side of that mountain I'm happy he |
5805s | also hit that shot I was like moments |
5806s | away from downplaying the combat but he |
5808s | says give me a second let me show you |
5810s | what we can do with that we jump on over |
5812s | to a battle in action forget the Ambush |
5814s | we have Aiden in Hound right now huge |
5816s | tags already to open things up here the |
5819s | focus the game face here the comms are |
5821s | coming out and Aiden's communicating |
5822s | excellently here but Hound is in trouble |
5824s | tries to come to the rescue office |
5826s | teammate there it is puts down the big |
5827s | heels here zones starting to slide in |
5830s | now as well if it already was in trouble |
5831s | for paper and Shadow with Bryson Chubbs |
5834s | here who is currently in first place by |
5836s | the way now they have the storm on top |
5838s | of them in a fresh Duo yeah there's a |
5840s | three stack of teams here in the shots |
5841s | you saw moments ago coming in from what |
5844s | some would think is a third party it was |
5846s | actually a fourth party it was Clarity |
5847s | and casters that land actually at |
5849s | Breakwater Bay you see them right there |
5851s | the mini map that little bit of an arrow |
5853s | they still are looking out there there's |
5855s | a huge opportunity for them to take |
5856s | advantage of early game storm surge and |
5858s | all these teams that are being held out |
5860s | and already you see Chubbs Bryce you |
5863s | talked about them being contested for |
5864s | paper and Shadow they're going ahead and |
5866s | trying to move north for a lot of these |
5868s | teams early Game Surge really kind of |
5871s | shows and and puts your path right in |
5873s | front of you for the rest of the game |
5874s | because if you're down on surge you |
5876s | didn't find it well you're going to have |
5877s | to get that surge regardless that is |
5880s | right surge is extremely important |
5882s | it's not just physically heating up here |
5885s | in the studios heating up on this field |
5886s | right now Chubbs is hurt as he gets |
5889s | tagged by The Duo that is rotating out |
5891s | right there hound and crew then you |
5893s | still have paper in Shadows sitting |
5895s | underneath you they are likely and |
5898s | willing to sit in the storm for as long |
5900s | as possible because they have to survive |
5903s | this game they cannot send another round |
5904s | out they've already given up game two by |
5907s | dropping earlier than expected this is |
5910s | this is a big fight |
5911s | that they just finished up from polarize |
5914s | and end pen he got three eliminations I |
5917s | need to figure out how he got those |
5918s | eliminations well Airco is number one |
5920s | down goes to Quentin teneto is on the |
5923s | other side and polarized not backing |
5925s | down so there goes number two stack him |
5927s | up you can knock him down and then the |
5929s | former n a West champions are gonna be |
5932s | on the receiving end of a monster shot |
5934s | down goes Thor that is just huge and |
5938s | obviously endpen got an elimination that |
5939s | was bolts as well so two teams In The |
5942s | Bleak of now I just went out and it's |
5944s | insane because we saw what especially |
5946s | thoric and Boltz were capable of surge |
5949s | week was just a sample the highlights |
5952s | they were adding to the reels here but |
5954s | let's get in evolved right now with Duke |
5956s | and edgy our current first place leaders |
5960s | 176 overall points right now leading by |
5963s | quite a fair margin as you start to |
5966s | break past second there they're about a |
5970s | game and a half or so out of the |
5971s | competition yep I mean we've seen it |
5973s | from Cuisine Vino over on the EU side of |
5975s | things and they're looking to be the |
5977s | team over on N A they have such a |
5979s | monster lead for themselves Batman Booga |
5982s | and bacon their team |
5984s | when they're able to get things going it |
5987s | is like a freight train they are hard to |
5989s | stop but until that point happens |
5991s | they're just kind of an up and down a |
5993s | roller coaster of emotions a Degen and |
5995s | Muzz the victory rounds in game number |
5997s | one but just like in that cash Cup |
5999s | yesterday they gave themselves a very |
6001s | very early lead on the leaderboard they |
6003s | just were unable to hold on to it so I'm |
6005s | just hoping that was a kind of a |
6007s | Bittersweet feeling didn't perform well |
6009s | in that duo cash cup but you're able to |
6011s | kind of adapt and fix your mistakes on |
6012s | the day that Madness I agree you have to |
6015s | fix your mistakes |
6016s | in real time we don't have many chances |
6020s | to do so otherwise we are in game three |
6022s | here |
6024s | literally after this moment we'll be |
6026s | past halfway mark |
6028s | when you're having fun time flies |
6031s | oh again buzz and DJ did take that first |
6033s | game they are already feeling themselves |
6036s | up right here they they picked up a win |
6038s | today yep even though they did know a |
6040s | solo was kind of there I mean they got |
6041s | the first elimination they're just not |
6044s | getting greedy they know they're already |
6045s | deep in the zone They just they can't go |
6047s | ahead and sacrifice it these are in |
6049s | Jammer 96 points this this Duo is |
6052s | performing exceptionally well on the day |
6054s | and already with Mason going out not |
6057s | getting knocked you know him and scope |
6058s | are back to the left yeah big pickup |
6060s | right there eases things up |
6064s | recently browsing Twitter looking at |
6066s | scope post some clips up and my gosh the |
6070s | chain of headshots this man puts just |
6072s | recently makes you really wonder |
6075s | if you have good aim or not you start to |
6078s | weigh up the competition but |
6080s | Japan right now attacking the rotate |
6082s | here |
6083s | eyes on sight of casker clarity G you |
6087s | can see the Chug Barrel animation |
6088s | leaking through the wall there of Costco |
6090s | that just means he's sitting there he's |
6091s | healing right now he's willing to take |
6093s | these trades these open exchanges if |
6095s | anything he's actually asking for you to |
6097s | look in and shoot |
6099s | wow both games today were won by teams |
6102s | without a victory Royale during the |
6105s | weekly finals it just goes to show that |
6106s | sometimes those are just Proving Grounds |
6108s | those are lessons being learned day |
6110s | after day and game after game but and |
6113s | the first two of today's games we had |
6115s | Southwest zones where we're gonna put a |
6118s | complete 180. we're going north for the |
6120s | winner with the Eastern lean on well if |
6122s | you think back to majority of the |
6124s | interviews we've had we're professional |
6126s | players they might literally say Hey |
6128s | listen I love finals lobbies it's just |
6131s | different it's honestly easier for some |
6134s | they just perform better when the stakes |
6136s | are the same and they know exactly who's |
6138s | in their surrounding environment so |
6140s | preparation goes a long way |
6141s | um it's no surprise I think that the |
6143s | samples size of winds are starting to |
6144s | open up now as we're getting to these |
6146s | finals lobbies let's jump in with |
6148s | Lawrence and hide and seek here though |
6149s | we were hyping up hide and seek earlier |
6151s | as again an individual alongside |
6153s | Lawrence who have really really found |
6155s | their charger recent |
6157s | recent weeks here |
6159s | so we'll find their way all the way |
6161s | through to the most difficult North |
6162s | American Lobby to date and both of these |
6165s | teams kind of looking out for each other |
6166s | Mac wood commandment seek Lawrence they |
6170s | got the zone for now the only question |
6171s | mark is how much surge do they actually |
6173s | have and if they have it they really got |
6175s | a sense of comfortability as they don't |
6177s | really have to rotate far they don't got |
6179s | to be stuck behind everybody else like |
6181s | Visual and braids they're trying to beat |
6183s | other teams to the punch over on this |
6186s | Eastern side because the more and more |
6187s | it does begin to pull the more congested |
6189s | it is going to be and the harder it is |
6191s | for everybody to find a safe spot in |
6193s | zone in so many ways fortnite is |
6196s | so different today at the highest levels |
6198s | than it was at the earlier years but |
6200s | it's some ways it isn't single Tower |
6202s | bases on positions of High Ground as |
6207s | quite literally made its return in the |
6210s | recent chapter again heavily to do with |
6212s | the influence of these red dots this is |
6214s | just just meta right this is literally |
6216s | the best strategies to position yourself |
6219s | to find tags hitch opponents of course |
6222s | put yourself in a position to be |
6223s | successful you can see cams are in fact |
6226s | they activated the early cash they see |
6229s | it over on in the distance and now |
6231s | they're trying to backtrack trying to |
6232s | paint all the loot as theirs but there's |
6234s | a team that's hot on the Hills that's on |
6236s | one that zifa Fabs looks back spots him |
6238s | at the tail end that is absolutely |
6240s | perfect timing for them because that is |
6242s | not a team you want to get surprised by |
6244s | they know they like to fight so if they |
6247s | find a way to get some early red eye |
6248s | tags on you know they're gonna close the |
6250s | distance and try to finish it off |
6251s | biggest difference between the two |
6252s | though fashion pants who are the most or |
6255s | the longest played together Duo that |
6258s | we've seen today going against some of |
6260s | the new freshly |
6262s | so you gotta be careful let's jump on |
6264s | with Jeff and Rapid here who are inside |
6266s | the mega City one of the few teams here |
6268s | in the mega City Mega city is just oh |
6270s | man there's so much conversation |
6272s | surrounding the Duos here but I'm sure |
6274s | pervert and roking as well the Big |
6277s | Island Rift Island spawns right above |
6279s | them just are they going to be the team |
6281s | that goes for it the only team here now |
6282s | and already yep there's going to be vert |
6284s | first one to reach the top and |
6286s | interesting enough there are very very |
6289s | few teams that could even contest it at |
6292s | this stage in the game because there's |
6293s | nobody in the distance it's like they |
6296s | got themselves at Center of Their Own |
6298s | Zone so the longer they can kind of |
6300s | position themselves there the better it |
6301s | is going to be and for Road Kane you |
6303s | look at his loot those pulse rifles |
6305s | might be a must especially if you depend |
6308s | on where they're at in terms of that |
6310s | storm surge because now they have the |
6311s | highest elevation on the map that's |
6313s | right we got a complete environment |
6315s | shift here the last two games Southwest |
6317s | pools now we're getting up to this North |
6320s | Eastern side very far east as well the |
6322s | true chance to start to pull as far as |
6324s | possible but for us though we of course |
6326s | got to get caught up let's talk to Kelly |
6328s | Kelly Phillipson |
6330s | thank you so much monster it's not too |
6333s | much of a surprise that one of the main |
6334s | factors of being a top player in |
6336s | fortnite is being able to adjust to all |
6338s | of the patches the most recent one |
6340s | taking away the odm gear one of the main |
6342s | modes of mobility and we're seeing |
6344s | players like nifer only able to find one |
6348s | kinetic blade out of their Duo and |
6350s | that's the same case for other Duos as |
6352s | well both of these teams right here are |
6354s | landing on the northwest side but we can |
6356s | see that this is an Eastern polling zone |
6358s | so this Mobility is going to be a bit of |
6360s | an issue for both of them |
6363s | thank you so much Kelly |
6366s | a lot of changes coming almost week |
6368s | after week the players are kind of |
6370s | forced to adapt especially when it comes |
6372s | to Mobility |
6374s | kinetic blade is almost a must |
6376s | especially when you do get these far |
6377s | poles as paper loses his teammate's |
6380s | shadow shots coming on right behind |
6382s | that's a team that kind of looks like |
6384s | you should position on the highest |
6385s | mountain in the lobby I called Griffin |
6387s | the highest elevation but they're trying |
6388s | to match that you see the distance being |
6390s | closed over on the side the paper has to |
6393s | keep things going he's just getting |
6394s | chased down right now he does have a |
6396s | player gun to try to spot him out with |
6397s | that scare bear on the other side a nice |
6399s | trade in shots for paper he's just |
6401s | trying to back down his opponent by |
6402s | himself time he needs 10 seconds to get |
6404s | this med kit off scare bear he probably |
6406s | sees it knows that he's trying to heal |
6408s | stopping it right in his tracks yet |
6410s | again and even though scare bear he's |
6411s | not going in trying to trade shots he's |
6413s | just trying to stop the med kit in |
6414s | itself yeah he's definitely timing out |
6417s | paper right here gets the siphon the |
6420s | elimination off of shadow looks down at |
6423s | paper he already got tagged once by |
6425s | paper and he didn't quite land attack |
6426s | onto him so he doesn't know really what |
6429s | the situation is here did he heal you |
6431s | know is he going to be a formidable |
6433s | opponent for me to finish off right now |
6434s | do we just take this W and back away but |
6437s | wow there it is the White Tag now the |
6440s | deal has been sealed he oh my God I was |
6442s | gonna say how do you survive that I |
6444s | don't know but all right Mickey |
6447s | comes in right afterwards moving scare |
6449s | bear fun this was a nice lands right on |
6451s | dejin what a surprise I think he was |
6454s | even surprised by that one but his |
6456s | accuracy is out of this world that's a |
6458s | monster of a shot because if he does it |
6460s | take out the agent shield and HP right |
6463s | there he's in a 2V1 against a team |
6465s | that's already won a game on the day and |
6467s | you're seeing how the little differences |
6469s | even when you're caught off guard really |
6471s | makes that much of an impact Acorn and |
6473s | cold making an impact in game number two |
6475s | jumping up 19 spots on that leaderboard |
6478s | and this is a team that you can and |
6480s | never count out it doesn't matter where |
6483s | they're at at the end of day one they're |
6484s | always to climb back and tahi damn they |
6486s | go down that's Elite and dragon who take |
6488s | him out and honestly if they had the |
6490s | loot that they usually get from |
6491s | shattered slabs that was a huge victory |
6493s | for Dragon inn Elise and you know tahi |
6495s | and death are just thinking those just |
6497s | love when we're just trying to rotate to |
6499s | the safety in a team lands on you you |
6501s | get a dragon in a lease right here |
6504s | I got more than enough loot to work with |
6508s | 241 above the damage threshold as well |
6511s | so many teams looming in the distance |
6513s | you already see the player guns popping |
6514s | off like the Fourth of July in the |
6516s | distance Dragon luckily does find a med |
6518s | hit if at least something to work with |
6519s | as soon as he makes inside of Zone heels |
6522s | are going to be a must but he's going to |
6524s | have to do it by himself as Elise does |
6526s | get caught out so far back a Zone that's |
6528s | Cooper who's gonna get credit for that |
6530s | elimination |
6531s | let's watch it it's gonna find Foley |
6533s | here lose the leaves to the edge there |
6535s | on the rotate now left the plates wanna |
6537s | by himself was to secure the pickup Here |
6539s | There It Is finds himself some dilutes |
6543s | but things are going to start to |
6545s | escalate pretty quickly here now the |
6547s | congestion is really starting to show |
6550s | its you know its face there DJ and Moz |
6552s | though let's jump back on over the team |
6554s | that was hit by the surprise fight |
6556s | before mine's now the opportunity to |
6559s | take down Lawrence and hide and seek |
6560s | another team fires in and they actually |
6562s | pull Zone as well that's gonna be a |
6564s | sweet surprise as they're up here |
6565s | isolated |
6567s | already taking on this two on two |
6570s | big big chance now for Muzz and DJ to |
6572s | really start to break away and catch up |
6574s | to those teams inside the top 10. I |
6576s | don't know who that was over towards |
6578s | lonely Labs but they were that third |
6580s | party that you never want to invite to |
6582s | the party again it was looking like it |
6584s | might have been pars back over on the |
6586s | other side finally they showed |
6588s | themselves here in game number three I |
6590s | talked about them in the duo cash Cup |
6592s | last night they won back to back to back |
6595s | Victory royale's ten eliminations 10 |
6598s | eliminations and eight to kind of close |
6600s | it out they got to figure out a way to |
6602s | channel that same style of play here in |
6604s | the finals they definitely have more |
6606s | than enough games though to kind of |
6607s | figure it out that's right I mean we've |
6608s | been hyping up the fact that you know |
6610s | the difficulty of the lobbies are |
6612s | showing itself here in the fncs but yes |
6614s | exactly the cash cups as well I saw a |
6617s | big big exchange though in the feed |
6618s | there marrow found canado Oh Canada is |
6621s | down excellent timing to go ahead and |
6623s | jump on in here and get a little little |
6625s | temperature check of what's going on |
6627s | right now kadata really has had an |
6629s | extreme extremely difficult time in |
6632s | games two and now game three but uh he's |
6635s | gonna be able to get saved here look at |
6637s | this metal Fortress they've managed to |
6639s | set themselves up for you right here so |
6641s | very good spot to be in I saw Bucky and |
6643s | ocus once again I'm actually loving |
6645s | Bucky and ocus this season the way |
6647s | they're playing in the finals because |
6648s | they're able to kind of flex they go |
6651s | ahead and go after racetrack they go |
6652s | towards the north they take advantage of |
6654s | every single and piece of information |
6656s | they hear and they do it on the spot |
6658s | much like Miro and Cooper they're trying |
6660s | to take advantage of zaipan on one land |
6662s | some shots drop them down into their box |
6664s | when it comes to a refresh it's not |
6666s | necessarily going to be a must it's just |
6668s | something they want to go after they see |
6669s | the move on the other side but Cooper |
6671s | gets boxed up Miro is trying to be a |
6673s | hero and break him out over towards the |
6675s | other side it's not going to come |
6676s | through just yet but finally Cooper is |
6679s | going to be able to escape that one's a |
6681s | close one had me on the edge of my seat |
6682s | yeah listen anything can really happen |
6685s | in these types of moments like it's it's |
6686s | even sometimes out of the player's hands |
6688s | and you can see how different it really |
6691s | is right here as the exchanges start to |
6692s | go down but Muriel takes advantage it |
6694s | looks like things are pretty settled for |
6695s | him he's got the knock here he's trying |
6697s | to inch his way in he's lines some beat |
6700s | there and everything connects in a |
6702s | follow-up too and he's like come here |
6704s | boy he snatches up the body |
6707s | is able to pick up the loot there too |
6709s | and just like that to get the refreshing |
6711s | just remember it's a good old day |
6713s | quantity giving them toes that's what |
6715s | exactly what he's shouting right now to |
6717s | get that elimination he snatched him up |
6719s | for sure Booga in threats even though |
6721s | they don't have any elimination so far |
6723s | that's part of their strategy they go |
6725s | through the game they get themselves a |
6727s | nice position and they worry about storm |
6729s | shirts they know the later and later |
6730s | this game goes those eliminations or the |
6732s | opportunity to get one is gonna |
6734s | naturally present itself as the game |
6736s | goes on they just need to be able to |
6737s | make it towards the end game and even |
6738s | though they're not in the zone just yet |
6740s | if you look at that 50 50 the longer |
6742s | this one takes they could in theory Zoom |
6744s | right past with those kinetic blades and |
6746s | get an uncontested spot in the zone |
6748s | that's right but it's not gonna be easy |
6749s | you got back on High Ground looking down |
6750s | here buga in threats managed to slip |
6752s | under their radar now they're playing |
6754s | themselves for the center of the zone |
6756s | and they |
6757s | this is actually a really great spot to |
6759s | be in we saw what happened before his |
6761s | commandment didn't realize how difficult |
6764s | it would be to fight through those walls |
6766s | there let's jump in with Bucky though we |
6767s | hyped him up we hyped up ocus this is |
6769s | one of the few Duos that is playing |
6770s | extremely flexible uh no one strategy |
6774s | for them and it's working well they do |
6776s | have themselves uh quite quite the |
6778s | situation right now right they've been |
6779s | able to play into the end games for the |
6782s | most part last couple rounds and I'm |
6783s | going to start an ad up yep for them |
6785s | they're 149 above the damage threshold |
6788s | they need to stay that way because ocus |
6790s | without a ton of HP can be hard for him |
6792s | to fight for it he's just trying to help |
6794s | kind of scavenge anything that he can |
6796s | work with on the other side the ear |
6798s | Bryce the year of chubs and that's why |
6799s | Bucky's trying to sneak around but you |
6801s | have to be very very careful because |
6802s | someone's gonna pull again over towards |
6804s | the right side of lonely Labs up and |
6807s | down a lot of these buildings so you got |
6809s | to be able to get as much information as |
6811s | you can from a lot of these teams |
6812s | whether you're picking through cones or |
6814s | using the flare gun it is definitely |
6815s | going to be a must that's right but Muzz |
6818s | and DJ in 47 below the storm surge right |
6820s | now |
6821s | the threshold |
6822s | it's gonna be far in the way here and |
6824s | it's already active great tags right |
6826s | there that should be enough to buy them |
6827s | a little bit of time if not already |
6830s | and there it is but the rotate starts to |
6832s | come out it's going even further this is |
6834s | the furthest west pool we've seen on the |
6836s | day here it was time to shake it up and |
6838s | mix it up and this is it for Muzz and DJ |
6841s | and I mean it doesn't matter rain or |
6843s | shine they're here to play Muzz gets |
6845s | caught on the road tape there but |
6846s | luckily was a tag away from being sent |
6850s | right back to the lobby |
6852s | this this is definitely not the time to |
6855s | go down either Facebook points are |
6858s | barely starting to be awarded to anybody |
6861s | here still left in the lobby top 23 we |
6863s | go as Braves does get down Baca and pars |
6866s | have talked about them I highlight them |
6867s | I'm a huge fan favorite of anybody from |
6870s | the western region that is exactly where |
6872s | I'm from Hometown crowd and that looking |
6874s | for a team like this to try to gain some |
6876s | elevation mimic what they've done on the |
6878s | day yesterday as they're trying to put |
6879s | pressure down from above once again |
6881s | we're seeing another team utilize the |
6883s | Mythic Tactical Pistol from The High |
6886s | Ground this is something we've seen last |
6887s | season as well |
6888s | right for Duke and edgy on the low |
6890s | ground here though |
6891s | you have a great situation in front of |
6893s | them already marked out where this new |
6894s | zone is going to be but let's talk about |
6895s | how difficult this rotate is going to be |
6897s | it's not just going back across it's |
6901s | going to cut across this Open Sea of |
6903s | water this The Frigid Waters right below |
6906s | them and if you don't play this one |
6908s | smart you're gonna end up down low where |
6909s | material is going to really determine |
6911s | whether or not you're gonna be able to |
6912s | call your way back out I expect the lava |
6914s | to get cut down in full here but agency |
6916s | Kanata fight their way through first |
6918s | this is by far the most resilient team |
6921s | if you ask me yeah they're trying it to |
6923s | be true as I've been on one on the other |
6925s | side for looking like he has a Justice |
6927s | one HP you breathe on him he's gonna go |
6929s | down his age with a could not have clean |
6931s | up that elimination the siphon is going |
6932s | to be there you talked about the Zone |
6934s | pulling on the Cliffhanger some would |
6936s | say but if that one pulls back any |
6938s | direction if you went ahead and dropped |
6940s | down low you better have materials you |
6942s | better have a kinetic blade a trick up |
6944s | your sleeve is gonna be a must because |
6946s | look at the lay of the land I think |
6948s | everyone knows the likelihood it's not |
6950s | going to stay here either it's probably |
6951s | gonna go right back yep there it is we |
6953s | knew it usually once it starts to ping |
6955s | pong like this they get a little bit |
6957s | harder and this is one of the more |
6958s | difficult zones to play out but doesn't |
6961s | matter all you have to do now is put up |
6963s | the performance Duke finds itself a |
6965s | great fun legendary surface is gonna be |
6966s | huge from here gets tagged from the team |
6968s | on the flank of the tarp and fights his |
6970s | way on up but he could not find any |
6972s | ground there misses the edits against |
6974s | his teammate but he is back in position |
6975s | here edgy and Duke fighting for first |
6977s | place to continue their lead cold and |
6979s | acorn are looking at teams of |
6981s | conversation now and get themselves |
6982s | inside the top 10 here they are poised |
6985s | to do so right now yeah they've moved up |
6986s | 19 places in that last game and look at |
6988s | their loot they're the ones who found a |
6990s | way to get those pulse Rivals even |
6992s | though it don't have the one shot method |
6993s | potential they could definitely do so |
6996s | much damage in the blink of an eye as |
6997s | they're trying to take control of the |
6998s | pieces they're backing down Brides layer |
7000s | by layer but attack coming from below |
7002s | hold fires back and he does such a great |
7005s | job spending off anybody in his path |
7007s | Tubbs and Bryce also one of those teams |
7009s | that were coming into this game inside |
7011s | that top resistor's still fighting back |
7013s | already at three elims itching their way |
7015s | to top 10 right now and what a rotate |
7017s | for them to slide on over these kinetic |
7018s | blades truly change the game when you |
7020s | have the charges and now they get to the |
7022s | side camera go behind the no Bryce gets |
7024s | caught trying to sneak up on the team |
7025s | and what a shot a flick there on the |
7028s | team falling low for Chubbs he's gonna |
7029s | go in and pick himself up something but |
7031s | cold and acorn now looking to situate |
7033s | themselves they need a win under their |
7035s | belt to really jump back and truly make |
7037s | a statement he has flashes as well it's |
7038s | even when the zone does close they have |
7040s | more than enough to work with his chubs |
7042s | as if so though that legendary's gonna |
7044s | be all he has left he's preemptively |
7046s | trying to pop that way he can stagger |
7047s | himself outside of the zone and try to |
7050s | find a safe rotation like threads but |
7052s | he's gonna go down Booga was lost early |
7054s | on you talk about resiliency though |
7056s | Kanata is going to be the man you look |
7058s | at seven eliminations as a team but he's |
7060s | running out of resources but luckily for |
7062s | him he got ahead of the Zone ahead of |
7064s | all the chaos so he has to figure out |
7065s | what's his next move is going to be by |
7067s | far one of the most impressive as well |
7068s | he's really trying to go ahead and get |
7069s | Scrappy here chunks now has a team on |
7071s | the backside rotating behind him he |
7073s | makes the edit there that's what he's |
7074s | best at opening up the wall finding that |
7076s | quick tag and converting there but it |
7079s | matters now what can he do here he's got |
7081s | a moment of time here to break get |
7083s | healthy spot to be below we have that |
7085s | one shot potential just need to be able |
7087s | to catch somebody off guard one build |
7089s | left to his name Oxygen's running out |
7090s | cannot is down low hey I'm so is on the |
7093s | chase that's a big elimination that's a |
7094s | Mythic there Bianca's not gonna have |
7096s | some time to grab it taking so much dam |
7097s | in the storm and he goes down all |
7099s | together as pars he's trying to do it as |
7101s | a solo he has an elimination but you can |
7103s | see cold Acorn the only Duo left in the |
7106s | lobby but look who it is down low it's |
7108s | Kanata yet again holding strong for his |
7111s | team I was gonna say this is literally |
7113s | the story of solos Acorn and now Kanata |
7117s | has a world of trouble on him Acorn is |
7119s | here and running the fight acorn's gonna |
7120s | go on and oh okay he's gonna eliminate |
7122s | himself to give away the siphon Cold's |
7124s | gonna play it safe to make sure he gets |
7126s | the heel off kanado looking for acorn |
7128s | there he should be able to find the body |
7129s | potentially I hope he does it's worth |
7131s | points right it's not completely free |
7133s | but in the end Colt does clean things up |
7136s | and they jump right back into the |
7138s | conversation I think it was Monster D |
7140s | face that said hold up let him cook |
7143s | almost won that one by a long shot even |
7146s | if Kanata was able to catch up and |
7149s | legendary slurp juices he had splashes |
7151s | and he's one of the best fighters in the |
7153s | game that one sealed the deal and they |
7155s | went up 19 places last game imagine them |
7157s | now not only look at the way they were |
7160s | set up in that mid game as they inch |
7161s | their way to the end game they never |
7163s | looked back the material lead was there |
7164s | the conversions were there on the |
7166s | elimination and they just kept picking |
7168s | up rack after rack and all of a sudden |
7170s | they find themselves in high ground in |
7172s | the prime position and acorn was there |
7174s | by his side too and it just never slowed |
7177s | down for them we made the analogy before |
7180s | it's a train on the tracks they're |
7181s | pushing through any vehicle that pauses |
7184s | in their way and just like that they |
7185s | pick up the double yeah I don't know who |
7187s | took them out in game number one but the |
7189s | lobby needs your help yet again because |
7191s | Acorn and gold are beginning to run away |
7194s | with it just like they did last season |
7196s | that's right well we got a lot to catch |
7198s | up here so let's get the points |
7201s | thank you guys so much Acorn and cold |
7204s | went into that game remember they have |
7207s | jumped up 19 places they were in that |
7209s | top ten and now I'm curious to see where |
7212s | they might be on those standings we got |
7213s | to get prop for props are due though I |
7215s | love the play there I love how the Cavs |
7217s | just kind of caught that out you know |
7218s | using the kinetically to go in the store |
7220s | make sure where I'm away from you |
7221s | there's if you want this siphon it's not |
7223s | gonna go your way but this is a surprise |
7226s | for me and that game out of apron and |
7228s | cold there usually we see them |
7229s | dominating the low ground getting layers |
7231s | kind of holding back getting some |
7232s | refreshes on teams that are staggering |
7234s | themselves they're on The High Ground |
7236s | this game which is very very impressive |
7238s | the reason why they were actually able |
7240s | to get it is because Bryce and Chubbs we |
7241s | saw them try to go for it as soon as |
7243s | they went for acorn cold kind of went |
7244s | for it at the same time and ultimately |
7246s | just came out on top had the higher |
7248s | ground for the rest of the game close it |
7250s | out we talked about how good of an igl |
7253s | acorn truly is and I really believe him |
7255s | just kinetic blading Into the Storm |
7257s | taking that siphon away yeah Kanata just |
7260s | shows how how much he thinks ahead we're |
7262s | all like wait what and then we got it |
7264s | but he just had it's like one step head |
7266s | always he's so good absolutely wild yeah |
7268s | just those little things remember just |
7270s | make sure you can deny even that 50 HP |
7272s | right though cold had plenty of heels |
7275s | and Kanata didn't you just want to make |
7277s | sure and lock that in right that is so |
7280s | expertly played from The Duo there's a |
7283s | lot of things that impress me in this |
7284s | game especially now you can definitely |
7286s | tell Vivid a lot of these Duos they're |
7288s | starting to quickly heat up yeah exactly |
7290s | that's going to be the name of the game |
7291s | right learning how some of these teams |
7293s | are landing maybe you you came into this |
7295s | you saw the job map you're like okay |
7297s | this team's gonna be in here maybe they |
7298s | shifted a little bit right learning some |
7299s | of their rotations as the games go on |
7301s | and on and adapting off of that and like |
7303s | you just pointed out too like our |
7305s | winners Acorn and cold they had to adapt |
7307s | and they changed they're like maybe low |
7308s | ground's not for me this game we're |
7309s | gonna take High Ground they made it |
7311s | happen yeah well let's take a look at |
7313s | the standings together and see where |
7316s | Acorn and cold are from 10th place up |
7318s | six and now that fourth place spot |
7322s | remember Acorn and cold one of the two |
7324s | Duos looking to defend their title but |
7328s | when you look up just a little bit more |
7329s | ages and Kanata right we saw Kanata in |
7332s | that late game and it's kind of like a |
7334s | damages done situation like he didn't |
7336s | necessarily get the victory Royale but |
7337s | when you're ending the game in a second |
7339s | place you've got the consistency points |
7341s | this is crazy because you know earlier |
7343s | on EU we saw malibucca and Thomas HD put |
7345s | up an eighth place after day one while |
7347s | they were contested at the racetrack not |
7350s | an agers also contestant at the |
7351s | racetrack they've made it all spawn |
7353s | every single game and they're in third |
7355s | place right now I mean this is just |
7357s | crazy stuff that's happening how they're |
7359s | able to consistently win when the drop |
7361s | is seemingly a 50 50. that's what's |
7363s | impressing me the most they did have a |
7365s | little rough start in the earlier games |
7367s | with Kanata going down and ages having |
7369s | to pick up Kanata but again like you can |
7371s | you say like if they're able to win off |
7374s | spawn they can make it to these late |
7376s | games and those points are just gonna |
7378s | rack up all right I have to talk about |
7380s | them Duke and edgy yeah they're |
7383s | currently sitting in that number one |
7384s | spot for now right and edgy is as Kelly |
7387s | pointed out last week always the |
7389s | bridesmaid never the bride right he |
7390s | keeps coming in that second place just |
7392s | missing out on the acts of Champions |
7394s | Vivid how do they hold this number one |
7397s | spot so really the thing is you know I'm |
7399s | not sure how they're finding these |
7400s | eliminations but so far we've had three |
7402s | games every single game they've gotten |
7404s | elims at Zone one or prior so they're |
7407s | getting some very early elims on and |
7410s | basically what that does for them early |
7411s | storm surge right because they have |
7413s | storm shirts they don't necessarily have |
7415s | to go for a position that is storm surge |
7417s | favorable they can go for something |
7418s | that's a little bit more positional when |
7420s | it comes to some of these rotates and I |
7421s | think that's really really helping them |
7422s | make it to every single end game yeah |
7425s | and again too like we talk about storm |
7427s | surge so much but as you can see with |
7429s | that duo it is so vital to make sure you |
7431s | take care of it before end game |
7433s | absolutely now of course this is just |
7435s | our Insight why don't we get it inside |
7436s | from one of our very own community |
7438s | members it is none other than last |
7442s | lash it is fantastic to see you man how |
7445s | are you doing |
7446s | I'm doing absolutely fantastic and it's |
7448s | a pleasure to see y'all once again we |
7450s | met the Invitational oh my goodness good |
7453s | to be here oh man it's crazy so bro what |
7455s | is it how are you finding these these |
7457s | first few games in nna is there anything |
7459s | you're kind of seeing anything standing |
7461s | out to you so far |
7462s | I'm seeing Low brown consistency I mean |
7465s | y'all just mentioned it edgy and Duke |
7467s | taken over I mean the same exact solo |
7470s | play style and coming in from duke that |
7472s | we've seen at the Invitational as well |
7474s | as Grand Rail and then edgy coming |
7475s | through with that low ground positioning |
7477s | beautiful yeah of course we do have Duke |
7479s | and edgy in first place now but if you |
7482s | yourself had to make a prediction who do |
7483s | you think is gonna take the whole thing |
7486s | listen they just took the victory out |
7488s | I'm going Acorn cold okay |
7491s | took my question out of my mouth I love |
7494s | your Insight but here give me this what |
7497s | if you weren't playing currently what is |
7499s | a tactic that you feel is very vital to |
7502s | these teams |
7503s | I'm going straight for that tracker's |
7505s | Armory now that's been coming in |
7507s | massively not only on EU but also today |
7509s | on n a high ground utilizing that pistol |
7512s | has been insane as well as I saw a |
7515s | little bit of a play there from Acorn |
7516s | taking the flare gun and shooting it |
7519s | down below doing 60 damage insane so |
7521s | good I'm telling you all at home if |
7523s | y'all don't know about lash don't need |
7524s | to go follow this man right now lash |
7526s | where can they find you |
7527s | hey at Castle on every single platform |
7530s | and as you notice in the beginning of |
7532s | the name Caster you'll see everything |
7535s | that you see and like on this stage and |
7537s | you'll be able to get all that content |
7539s | of Mayan absolutely well lash thank you |
7541s | so much uh we appreciate you stopping by |
7543s | we hope to catch you a little later on |
7546s | thank y'all |
7547s | lash one of the best in the business I'm |
7549s | telling you here because breakdowns are |
7551s | absolutely insane their next level in a |
7553s | lot of weight so make sure you guys take |
7555s | a second stop by check them out |
7557s | only handful of games here left to go |
7559s | and on this just this first day I feel |
7561s | like we've watched like a thousand games |
7563s | but it's only been a handful uh do we |
7566s | need to do anything different than just |
7567s | ready to run this back you know Booga |
7568s | and threats they've got some of those |
7569s | dead side rotations down more of that |
7571s | from them they're doing good |
7573s | I think we I just want to see more |
7574s | gameplay let's run this league you know |
7576s | what let's run it then right now game |
7578s | number four starts this is the fncs |
7586s | with three games done and three left to |
7588s | go we are halfway throughout the days of |
7591s | games but only 25 of the way done |
7594s | throughout the competition monster what |
7596s | have you noticed so far from some of our |
7597s | competitors I mean what we're seeing is |
7599s | Kanata agers really putting up the |
7601s | conversation today contest |
7603s | can do well and of course the comeback |
7606s | story for acorn and cold so far it is |
7610s | now beginning to develop for them |
7611s | finally they're finding their bearings |
7613s | it was looking a little Rocky and and |
7615s | usually usually the casters curse takes |
7618s | place little late into the show right |
7620s | the late running and then all of a |
7622s | sudden you get knocked over but Acorn |
7623s | cold almost got caught slipping but |
7625s | they're back in it but let's take a look |
7626s | here it's game four time we're in the |
7628s | back half of it these are what we start |
7630s | to call the champion rounds right we're |
7632s | in the Lee half yep we already saw one |
7634s | time before already the 50 50 going out |
7637s | Bryce it does look like they're gonna |
7638s | win it yet again they get that twin mag |
7641s | SMG take down paper and now they're on |
7644s | the hunt they know Shadow is nearby they |
7646s | want to be able to kind of take this |
7647s | team out together they don't want to |
7649s | have to worry about anybody sneaking |
7651s | around and possibly putting an end to |
7652s | their game |
7654s | and now this is a two-day competition |
7656s | here so of course what happens now |
7660s | can also happen tomorrow you have to |
7662s | make your adjustments you have to figure |
7664s | out how you can fight your way through |
7666s | Bryson Chubbs |
7668s | oh so it's a big fight but this is huge |
7671s | yeah this is this is big for Duke and |
7673s | edgy to keep their consistency up you |
7675s | see them at 210 points just five points |
7678s | away from first place they're able to |
7681s | get one elimination Diego's trying to |
7683s | fight back but it's big boy Duke yet |
7686s | again two eliminations for dignitas |
7688s | everybody there that is in that house |
7691s | kind of Landing it up together are |
7693s | probably cheering every single time |
7695s | anybody gets elimination on the dig Team |
7697s | hey man shout out to dignitol is |
7698s | definitely put in the |
7700s | money to snipe up some of the best on |
7704s | the space here by far have the strongest |
7707s | roster available on the N8 region |
7709s | currently |
7711s | let's just go ahead and continue to get |
7713s | caught up though this game's really |
7715s | starting to pick up we're already at 82 |
7716s | out of 100 for game four Sprite and |
7719s | Giants finally get to swing things |
7721s | around they drop Kanata in agers and |
7724s | just like that momentum gained momentum |
7727s | lost Sprite and Giants finally find |
7730s | themselves on The Winning Side there so |
7732s | third place out of the competition that |
7734s | early yeah it's tough it's tough because |
7737s | we we're kind of |
7738s | talking them up Canadian ages Canadian |
7741s | ages how well they're conforming on the |
7742s | day and it starts right here at the |
7745s | racetrack they're able to kind of win |
7746s | their fights against both Sprite and |
7747s | Giants or unless that one game where |
7749s | agers was traveling around the world but |
7751s | it just goes to show that all it takes |
7753s | is one game for you to kind of lose your |
7755s | steps so my question for them as they |
7757s | sit in the lobby for now is how mentally |
7759s | tough are they it's very clear that |
7760s | Canada agers can absolutely win an fncs |
7763s | it's very very clear unfortunately this |
7766s | time around they have their problems and |
7769s | troubles cut out for them |
7770s | oh look up threats that problem is not |
7774s | the same they have a completely |
7776s | different issue it's the fact that the |
7777s | Zone landed on top of them this will |
7780s | start to adjust things for them but now |
7782s | you'll have less teams rotating in their |
7784s | vicinity so playing this one out I find |
7786s | that can be a little bit tougher for |
7788s | those players especially in the pools as |
7789s | far south but we'll see if storm Source |
7791s | becomes an issue for them this game |
7792s | rituals in TK here's the team that has |
7794s | no trouble taking any fights very decent |
7798s | and most most of the times we've seen |
7799s | them kind of on the 50 50 side they win |
7802s | some they lose some but right now |
7803s | they're just looking for the Ambush so |
7805s | far the trend |
7806s | over towards naughty Nets hasn't |
7808s | necessarily been put at all on the line |
7810s | for 50 50. most of the times these guys |
7813s | aren't disengaging grabbing their Loot |
7815s | on their respective sides of naughty |
7817s | Nets and going their separate ways over |
7818s | towards the South you already see Larson |
7820s | and user slowly but surely rotating on |
7823s | now kind of leaving everything else for |
7825s | both ritual and TK and they're leaving a |
7826s | good amount of loot because that is one |
7828s | of the hot drops there's a lot of heals |
7829s | to be grabbed over still on 90 Nets |
7832s | absolutely |
7833s | something with Acorn and cold climb |
7836s | their way right back out of the gutters |
7838s | here now picking themselves into that |
7839s | top five conversation |
7842s | Acorn with the excellent play in game |
7845s | three |
7847s | a little little plays to go ahead and |
7849s | deny an elimination to Kanata |
7852s | so it doesn't increase the chance at him |
7854s | having more heals then of course his |
7856s | teammate cold |
7857s | but what we've seen so far from them |
7858s | really really has been an uptrend and |
7861s | uptick for acorn and cold exactly what |
7863s | we expect Muzz and dejin a surprising |
7865s | game one Victory still meaning to uh |
7868s | maintain their position so far kind of |
7870s | in the conversation here inside that top |
7872s | Temple do you think it's interesting |
7874s | that they're kind of conceding the Vault |
7876s | game after game the death and tahi do |
7878s | you think they're they're gonna change |
7879s | that up at any point throughout the |
7881s | weekend I think the thing is after they |
7882s | pick up that first win they realize and |
7885s | they probably gave themselves the utmost |
7887s | confidence we do not need the Vault to |
7889s | win it is not worth that much to us when |
7891s | you start to do that you can see |
7893s | confidence adjust everything and they're |
7896s | still inside the top 10 without them so |
7897s | I don't see them really changing that |
7899s | too much now do they plan some ambushes |
7901s | do they try to capitalize in some early |
7903s | elims that's a potential yeah definitely |
7905s | something that we're kind of looking out |
7907s | for here throughout the day Batman Booga |
7910s | and bacon |
7912s | like a huge switch up we always talk |
7915s | up did getting |
7916s | what a team can do overall if you're |
7919s | planning to be contested and that being |
7921s | a main part of your storm starts a team |
7923s | like Batman Booga and bacon they're |
7925s | probably off to a slow start simply |
7926s | because of that they hadn't planned too |
7929s | much to be uncontested so now they're |
7931s | kind of looking on the fly to figure out |
7932s | where are they going to get that storm |
7934s | surge from but with so much action going |
7937s | on we're going to throw it over to an |
7938s | analyst Vivid to break down some of the |
7940s | action that we've seen around the map |
7943s | hey we're going to be seeing Sprite and |
7945s | Giants for the first time today as they |
7947s | take down Kanata and agers but this |
7950s | racetrack split so many teams like the |
7952s | lanyard because it does have that double |
7954s | kinetic blade spawn right to the west |
7956s | but when you're contested at the |
7958s | racetrack it is so annoying to have one |
7960s | of these teams come over and steal them |
7963s | and in this case it's going to be okus |
7964s | and usually Bucky as well both of the |
7967s | players on this though have the Kinect |
7969s | plays obviously if they can do good this |
7971s | game |
7973s | already you're kind of seeing it thanks |
7975s | to Vivid what their plan was they didn't |
7978s | even land at that trailer park gas |
7980s | station split they went straight for the |
7982s | kinetic blades knowing that Canadian |
7984s | agers Brighton Giants are going to go at |
7986s | it game after game off spawn so those |
7989s | are just two kinetic blades that they're |
7990s | stealing away from anybody at the |
7991s | racetrack and that's the wildest part |
7993s | because it is quite literally the reason |
7995s | you can touch the drop so the irony that |
7998s | you fight for the drop you don't even |
7999s | get the best loot oh man very very tough |
8003s | but we hop in |
8004s | shows us a little story Bucky is down so |
8006s | even with the kinetic blades there's a |
8009s | story unfolding there let's jump in with |
8010s | zaifa in on one who seems to have a team |
8012s | eyeing them up over at the frenzy there |
8014s | it's not looking uh like it's gonna be a |
8017s | simple rotate as the zone is now on top |
8019s | of them |
8021s | I like I like the feeling right now that |
8023s | I'm getting from this iPhone on one you |
8024s | could see that they both have an |
8026s | elimination each so far so when it comes |
8028s | to that early game storm surge it's |
8030s | probably not so much of a worry and now |
8033s | you combine that with the fact that zone |
8034s | did pull South it has an Easter lean and |
8037s | that's exactly what they're trying to do |
8038s | they're trying to go ahead and use the |
8040s | Storm ride it towards the South and |
8042s | hopefully get into the with some would |
8044s | say the least congested part of the zone |
8046s | to try to find a safer route towards the |
8048s | end game that's right it's gonna go a |
8050s | little further east here as well a good |
8051s | chunk of it being inside the water so |
8053s | what's gonna happen now is that we are |
8054s | going to have some heavy contest or a |
8057s | congestion happening |
8058s | I mean if you've ever rode the Subways |
8060s | in NYC yet get ready to be shoulder to |
8063s | shoulder with some folks here because |
8065s | there's not a lot of room to work with |
8067s | right now this is what happens The Zone |
8069s | Dynamics really do play A Part Larson |
8072s | user taking a fight right now talking |
8074s | about players hip to hip here |
8077s | it's another team though trying to |
8078s | rotate in great opportunity from some |
8081s | free storm surge tags |
8083s | while impending polarizers fighting for |
8085s | it they like to fight and get this early |
8088s | Game Surge and a huge shot to be landed |
8090s | onto users totally different angles |
8091s | going through and Pen playing lights out |
8093s | both ways doing a good job even though |
8095s | they're not necessarily in the same box |
8097s | they have the same plan intact and you |
8099s | can see what they're fighting for the |
8100s | weapons cash and they activated it |
8102s | rather quick so they're gonna get so |
8104s | much epic flute and legendary loot to |
8106s | come out of that one that's right the |
8109s | huge upgrades here waiting to happen |
8110s | green and Blue's in the inventory |
8111s | absolutely have a chance and look how |
8114s | quickly it turned over |
8116s | of course because of the population |
8117s | that's sitting here but there it is |
8119s | picks up the SMG even if it is temporary |
8121s | it's gonna be enough and he's trying to |
8123s | pull back to him do not or does not want |
8126s | to give it up just yet to Larson the |
8128s | walls though are starting to fall here |
8130s | you can see the longer this goes on the |
8132s | less likely it is to be worth it no tags |
8136s | just yet polarized playing extremely |
8137s | passive excellent exchanges here very |
8140s | high level trades between the two and |
8141s | seems like Larson Company start to |
8143s | realize |
8145s | they need a moment as well to rethink |
8147s | the situation |
8148s | seen him right there just kind of |
8150s | wouldn't say hesitate but take a second |
8152s | longer looking at his augments makes me |
8154s | wonder if he's saving something in his |
8155s | back pocket for a little bit later on in |
8157s | the game as they finally choose to |
8159s | concede the fight |
8161s | already you saw in pen and Polaroid |
8163s | snatched the loot on out so there wasn't |
8165s | much left fighting for at least not |
8166s | worth risking your game for for Larson |
8169s | and user talked about them at naughty |
8170s | Nets and they're splitting the drop |
8172s | along with TK and ritual to give them |
8173s | the best chance off of Spawn instead of |
8176s | laying it all on the line like you see |
8177s | some of the other teams do on the day |
8179s | and speaks this has kind of been the |
8181s | strategy over towards Mega City at least |
8183s | every game that they have pulled the |
8184s | zones they just kind of find one of the |
8186s | highest buildings there and build a |
8187s | tower in the sky even higher than that |
8189s | and they kind of look and try to take |
8191s | advantage of any team rotating in the |
8193s | distance not to mention they're sitting |
8194s | on the loot cache as well play a knee to |
8196s | work with here |
8197s | and look at boyo he's like hey I'm just |
8200s | not even gonna pop my big Shield I'm |
8201s | willing to take these trades I'll dig |
8203s | into the minis I got extra minis down |
8205s | below that's exactly how the little |
8207s | things these exceptional players will do |
8211s | to go ahead and get ahead of the |
8212s | competition small tactics like that |
8214s | over conserving the minions but Acorn |
8217s | with the blind tags into the bush |
8219s | sense is kicking off and he finds a few |
8221s | times those are huge very important and |
8223s | some extras to follow up |
8225s | the reaction speed on Acorn right now |
8227s | you can really see he's got his head |
8229s | down forehead pressing the monitor right |
8231s | now he's not playing games |
8233s | that's another one like he's literally |
8235s | ripping on the keyboard everything but |
8238s | Acorn is just one of those places along |
8239s | with Pam's doing fetch oh geez long time |
8242s | Duos there's almost nothing in the game |
8245s | right now that are gonna surprise |
8247s | players like this that experience so |
8249s | many different versions of fortnite so |
8251s | many different metas so many different |
8252s | chapters so it's all about kind of |
8255s | getting that hot streak gaining that |
8257s | momentum and seeing how far it can carry |
8258s | you is in the distance fats just takes |
8260s | so much damage but he can look off in |
8262s | the distance he has minis down there he |
8265s | has chug splashes towards the north |
8267s | Shield kegs he has the shield fish he |
8269s | has so many heals so it's almost like he |
8271s | didn't even get tagged up in the first |
8272s | place yeah literal options here to work |
8274s | with this is a team pampson fetch who |
8276s | quite recently nearly experienced the |
8279s | fncs title Championship they came so |
8282s | close a literal Point difference finals |
8286s | we had just a couple seasons ago before |
8289s | NCS championship if we had in person |
8292s | you can see us of course now puts on the |
8296s | line here the global championships |
8297s | because why not so let's make it even |
8299s | better let's raise the stakes it's not |
8301s | just cash it's of course the opportunity |
8304s | to play in person |
8305s | over here come on over to the EU and |
8308s | you're noticing right now Sprite and |
8309s | Giants going for rip down you might be |
8311s | thinking to yourself wait I think I've |
8313s | seen this before yeah you might have it |
8315s | was Game number one and game number |
8317s | three of surge week they fell short in |
8319s | game number one they went back to the |
8321s | drawing board got those pulse rifles and |
8323s | eventually qualified with a victory |
8325s | Royale to make it here in this Lobby |
8327s | they're hoping with its success off |
8329s | spawn taking out both Kanata and agers |
8331s | combined that with some overclocked |
8333s | pulse rifles that could be their recipe |
8335s | for Success here in this game and |
8336s | hopefully drop a nice elimination in |
8338s | Victory Royale maybe jump up some spots |
8340s | like we've seen some other teams do on |
8342s | the day absolutely you've seen some |
8343s | great showings from janfer so far today |
8346s | he's got a team though in this line of |
8348s | sights here he is a you know again just |
8350s | just a smidge above the surge you would |
8352s | think oh he's over a hundred he should |
8355s | be okay it's not the case here everyone |
8357s | gets that warning everyone gets that |
8359s | notification and they all get |
8362s | essentially a little check |
8365s | where are we in this game how good have |
8367s | we been able to perform |
8371s | Acorn and cold in front of them |
8373s | luckily for them they are above so you |
8376s | know again not the looming pressure to |
8378s | take the box fight against cold and crew |
8379s | both teams are very much in the same |
8381s | situation and this works out for cold |
8383s | and acorn in particular tahi in depth |
8385s | finding the tags on there finding a |
8387s | fight and then pushing their way out |
8388s | right this is literally exactly what |
8390s | Coleman acorns |
8393s | like cold right now the way he's just |
8394s | looking at death and tahi moments ago it |
8397s | was like a line in the Safari just |
8398s | hunting down his prey just kind of |
8400s | punched down ready to strike it's 261 |
8403s | above sometimes it's not being above you |
8406s | find what you think is an advantage you |
8408s | go for it it costs you everything as |
8409s | death goes down that's gonna be hard to |
8411s | come back from because he has four |
8413s | legendary slurp juices he had the Mythic |
8415s | Havoc pump and now he's leaving it all |
8417s | on the line to tahi to try to handle it |
8419s | luckily for him now and z and ZZ in the |
8421s | distance putting some pressure on a boat |
8423s | knife for and bylaw which is kind of |
8425s | using it as a distraction for him to try |
8427s | to stay alive as long as he can but just |
8429s | on the outskirts there's another team |
8431s | boxed up one more singular player after |
8433s | that there's so many teams congested and |
8435s | the zone is even right here right now |
8437s | yeah the crazy part is he had all that |
8439s | but didn't have the material at all |
8440s | makes sense now where they were so |
8442s | thirsty to jump down here try to take |
8443s | the fight and even less now as tahi is |
8446s | by himself there nifer and Baila still |
8448s | sitting in the storm here the clock is |
8450s | ticking that's a chug Barrel |
8453s | Fox over have planning to work with of |
8456s | course who legendary slurp juices and |
8457s | plenty more of a Sodus tahi okay so he |
8459s | can actually entertain this waiting game |
8462s | is it worth it maybe not you can see |
8465s | cold and acorn I think are already gone |
8467s | as the maps are to develop here the |
8469s | Zone's gonna pop Far East once again |
8471s | playing that Coastal side here and there |
8474s | it is so Tai wants to pick up the card |
8477s | he wants to see if he can make some kind |
8479s | of Miracle run and get death back in the |
8481s | game I was gonna be pretty tough to do |
8482s | so but hey he gets a little to see |
8484s | another day in theory it definitely is |
8486s | possible it does more than enough deals |
8489s | last a long time in the zone and |
8492s | hopefully get them back but only time |
8493s | will tell if that comes to fruition as |
8495s | we jump on board Cooper and Miro 315 |
8499s | above the damage threshold |
8501s | had some moments of Brilliance go down |
8503s | also some hiccups along the way luckily |
8506s | for them |
8507s | and so many other teams in this game |
8509s | it's 12 games throughout two days six |
8512s | today six tomorrow this is gonna be game |
8514s | number four so we're already past that |
8516s | halfway point the dragon a liege they're |
8518s | trying to hunt down and surprise attacks |
8521s | with epic whale and Reit they quickly |
8523s | kinetic blade away and Drax just try to |
8525s | stay on their heels |
8527s | here's the team that's done so well |
8528s | these mid-game fights they have epic |
8530s | will insight and read I think while we |
8532s | have not had the greatest mid games by |
8535s | any means struggling with surge the fact |
8539s | that they're even getting to this far |
8540s | into the rounds of some of their later |
8542s | performances |
8544s | and again they have a team that has been |
8546s | just on the prowl |
8548s | truly closing out these battles |
8551s | it's one thing to fight a great team |
8553s | it's another thing to fight a team |
8554s | that's playing good on the day but epic |
8556s | way on reap Won't Give Up not without |
8558s | fighting here they fight back great tags |
8560s | there and now they have a chance |
8563s | let's see why Dragon Elise are playing |
8565s | so aggressive they're down on storm |
8567s | surge and that's the thing a lot of |
8568s | these games they have been down and this |
8570s | is how they're picking themselves back |
8572s | up you can't receive first Doc's gonna |
8574s | go through back to back for kingri |
8576s | himself two eliminations probably one of |
8578s | the best controller players in North |
8580s | America right now and you've seen he's |
8583s | getting so much more heals he's getting |
8584s | all his boots this could be that |
8586s | pick-me-up and the momentum shift that |
8588s | we're looking for of a team like epic |
8589s | well and Reeve massive and they could |
8591s | have used the replay uh the refresh as |
8593s | well all the extra materials |
8597s | let's go ahead and see this rotate looks |
8599s | pretty good things should start to |
8601s | settle here shortly |
8606s | polarized |
8607s | yet again kind of back where they |
8609s | started it's Larson and user yet again |
8612s | but this time this time they finish that |
8615s | fight and take back the loot that they |
8618s | left behind earlier on in the game |
8620s | but from one consistent team to another |
8622s | Duke and edgy trying to hold on that top |
8625s | spot on the leaderboard just outside of |
8628s | the Zone but luckily for them they don't |
8629s | got much to travel the biggest worry for |
8631s | them and some of the other teams in the |
8632s | lobby is the environment they're gonna |
8634s | have to go through the Zone you're gonna |
8636s | go down the mountain across the river up |
8637s | naughty next there's so many different |
8639s | terrains that you have to watch out for |
8641s | as AMU got his back against the wall |
8642s | that's going to be a trade zaifa goes |
8644s | down but at least he gets crisp for his |
8646s | efforts now it's just him and Yaz |
8647s | looking at each other through the wall |
8648s | in 1v1 the frustration that's gonna |
8650s | start setting in It's Gonna feel like |
8652s | you're on a long line at the theme park |
8655s | for your favorite ride it's gonna take |
8657s | you quite some time yes it's gonna fall |
8659s | right there and In the Zone on one finds |
8661s | himself to siphon the men Miss and |
8662s | everything else he needs to stay alive |
8663s | for a little bit longer Biola knifer is |
8665s | going to be the crew watching this all |
8668s | go down and they have such loadouts that |
8671s | they are not worried or pressured at all |
8673s | they in fact get on one served up |
8675s | because the storm's damage because it |
8677s | does start to do much more damage now we |
8679s | are currently in shown seven to start to |
8681s | do five tick and you can see how much |
8684s | health it's costing him while he's |
8686s | offsetting it with the big heels there |
8688s | from the legendary slurp so really is |
8690s | extremely difficult and the Zone pulls |
8692s | far west and south here to where teams |
8694s | are not at so much tough for Road taping |
8697s | stuff yeah notice they're shooting the |
8698s | player gun at the ground because of the |
8700s | train right now it will catch fire and |
8703s | do some damage if it's kind of |
8705s | positioned right you see it on the other |
8706s | side as they become a focus of the lobby |
8707s | and for knife from bilox this is a huge |
8710s | moment with odm no longer at their drop |
8713s | spot they're forced to adapt and with |
8715s | both of them having kinetic blades |
8716s | there's no excuses for the rest of this |
8717s | game |
8718s | that's right there are no excuses for |
8720s | the rest of the day either you're really |
8721s | starting to run low on games here we are |
8722s | in the back half game four of North |
8724s | America the first ever merging of the |
8728s | East and West servers combining all the |
8730s | players into one player pool now as they |
8732s | get to compete against one another we |
8734s | have multiple reigning fncs Champions |
8736s | now under the same Hub here Acorn and |
8740s | cold being of course the most talked |
8743s | about on the day here and putting up the |
8745s | performances as well |
8748s | oh they're back in hand |
8752s | is making it look absolutely easy taking |
8754s | down team after team dropping Shield |
8756s | after Shield |
8758s | the interesting thing though you kind of |
8759s | noticed only 343 above the damage |
8762s | threshold some of these players that |
8763s | they're taking out didn't necessarily |
8764s | have full shield didn't necessarily have |
8766s | full HP which is why they're trying to |
8769s | keep things rolling for themselves as |
8771s | they continue to collect that storm |
8772s | surge and that augment once again Mythic |
8775s | Munitions you see the Mythic Tactical |
8777s | Pistol that's where a lot of teams late |
8778s | in this game are picking up the damage |
8780s | and are finding their eliminations it |
8782s | really is an excellent point they are |
8784s | just cleaning up the scraps here and |
8786s | they're getting by just fine it's not |
8788s | like they're struggling at the moment |
8790s | right above them you have of course |
8791s | bacon just iron things out Zone's gonna |
8793s | be the highest priority here as it pulls |
8795s | very far |
8797s | in fact there's no one who was there |
8800s | quite early everyone just used their |
8802s | early rotates to get in front those are |
8804s | forced those kinetic blades coming into |
8806s | place here |
8807s | let's see it we get to zoom out for a |
8809s | second here jump on over to those teams |
8810s | it's Booga it's threats |
8813s | you kind of already see it not only is |
8815s | it far like you said it's up and down |
8817s | the different elevations that these |
8818s | teams might have to expend more maps |
8820s | than they would typically want to in a |
8822s | position like this while some like buga |
8825s | and threats they're gonna be able to |
8826s | save a lot of the resources since they |
8828s | don't have far to travel to try to get |
8829s | in the zone to continue to look back and |
8831s | gate team teams out 800 above the damage |
8834s | threshold for the rest of this game in |
8836s | theory storm surge is not going to be a |
8837s | worry that's right if you read The Zone |
8839s | early you obviously realized and |
8841s | recognized we have to get to this big |
8843s | mountain we have to set up quick that's |
8845s | what buga and threats do perfectly fine |
8847s | and this is why they're such decorated |
8850s | Duos right they're they're just that |
8853s | good The Experience really starting to |
8854s | shine through here but for Duke and edgy |
8855s | they say hey let's take a different |
8856s | strategy we're gonna come in late we're |
8857s | gonna play this low ground and now |
8859s | they're down here looking for any kind |
8860s | of refresher to put themselves in the |
8862s | mix The Zone could potentially fly off |
8864s | the edge as well so the train is gonna |
8866s | get very intensive restricts and foil |
8868s | really flying under the radar so far |
8871s | staying consistent finding their |
8873s | eliminations making their way into the |
8874s | end game we could have just a surprise |
8877s | Runner as we start to close out the day |
8879s | if they keep this up yeah it's a team |
8881s | that has a playstyle that maybe not it's |
8883s | the most flashy it may not be the most |
8885s | exciting but they're getting the job |
8887s | done on a consistent basis they're one |
8888s | of the teams that qualified for all of |
8890s | our weekly finals right and that's what |
8892s | got them into the grand finals and |
8893s | skipping surge week overall so it's |
8895s | gonna be a big moment for them as they |
8897s | close the day out as Acorn and Colt |
8898s | trying to make up for lost time it's |
8900s | almost like they didn't go down early in |
8902s | game number one and that's a scary sight |
8904s | even though they didn't get very very |
8906s | many points they made up for that time |
8908s | and you got to imagine what they're |
8909s | gonna do now that they're on fire that's |
8911s | really what happens when you start to |
8913s | shape up the meta in a way that you have |
8915s | such a a crazy Mobility item like the |
8917s | kinetically in play here so accessible |
8920s | you can get from point a point B it |
8922s | allows you to either be aggressive or be |
8923s | passive get to a point of position |
8925s | played for the placements here Duke |
8928s | Energy of course just want to continue |
8929s | to stay alive take it slow and earn |
8932s | their way on up to the top but they are |
8934s | now below the third so that whole |
8936s | conversation about slowing it down not |
8938s | for them not right now they really need |
8940s | to look around and find a fight they |
8942s | find visuals right above them sounds |
8943s | like there's a battle going on up there |
8945s | but they don't quite find anything with |
8947s | the tags they put down but by a |
8949s | completely different story already |
8950s | knocking hand now eyeing up The High |
8952s | Ground they're giving move-in threats a |
8953s | run for their money they're making it |
8955s | difficult everything comes crashing down |
8957s | for a moment to The High Ground they're |
8958s | trying to take vanishes right before our |
8960s | very eyes they're continuously trying to |
8962s | fight but bylaw goes down that threat |
8964s | who's fighting back tooth and nail |
8965s | backed up knifer and that's how they |
8967s | were able to separate it and make for an |
8968s | easy elimination you gotta imagine now |
8971s | that boo gun threats if they're able to |
8972s | hold The High Ground they took down the |
8974s | player with the myth of overclock pulse |
8975s | rifles now it's Theirs to Claim and if |
8977s | they have The High Ground that's a ton |
8978s | of pressure they can put on the lobby |
8980s | well it's crazy it's gotten broken down |
8981s | again no one is allowing players to get |
8984s | situated or settled here in game four it |
8987s | is a complete battle they are literally |
8989s | kinetic blading their way through those |
8991s | builds consistently over and over we |
8994s | don't have Kings of height just yet but |
8996s | we do have teams in trouble Duke and |
8997s | edgy are one of the few here they get to |
8999s | the front side so they are just playing |
9000s | excellent right now as far as their |
9002s | rotates going yeah they're doing it |
9004s | through many different ways as well High |
9005s | Ground no ground staying ahead of the |
9007s | Zone Duke and Etsy are just playing so |
9009s | consistent but I talked about what he |
9011s | picked up he has The High Ground and now |
9013s | we're seeing what you can do when all |
9015s | that moot is coming to fruition and |
9017s | pressure is going to be so hard for some |
9020s | of these teams to recover if that's by |
9021s | the name of the game at this stage is |
9023s | stay away from ultimate low ground |
9025s | that's right cold and acorn are down |
9027s | here though or elims in trouble no |
9030s | builds to work with in the heels are |
9031s | starting to run thin but I do see a |
9033s | flint knock so there's plenty of plays |
9034s | to be made here let's watch cold get |
9036s | through this world building they're on |
9037s | the tarp now they're eyeing up these |
9038s | players here look at this they're |
9040s | working together the double pickaxe edgy |
9042s | is there on the other side of the wall |
9043s | can they get the conversion of course |
9044s | they can and there's a couple builds but |
9046s | they're used up pretty quickly and |
9048s | another little crevice to sleep through |
9050s | and now it's gonna come down to the |
9051s | reaction yeah these are Big points that |
9053s | they're picking up while they're an |
9054s | absolute shambles that's what they work |
9056s | with but at least Acorn gives him |
9058s | something eight bills anything to defend |
9060s | yourself but you know Cole is one of the |
9062s | most skilled players as an individual |
9064s | something is better than nothing as the |
9066s | pressure from above continues to be |
9067s | poured down they find another |
9069s | elimination and a huge siphon that I |
9071s | don't know if they could actually pick |
9072s | it up they're gonna have to sacrifice |
9073s | some HB and that's cold he goes back to |
9075s | the store to try to find it but in comes |
9077s | Pollo income speaks down goes a chord |
9080s | it's all up to cold he gets dropped |
9082s | Skittles as well speaks and Poyo late in |
9084s | the game are on a terror this is exactly |
9086s | why we talked them out they have just |
9088s | been so consistent keep it a low profile |
9090s | making their way to end game and now |
9093s | they're here to make a name for |
9094s | themselves on the N A America region |
9097s | here let's see what North America's got |
9098s | as booger comes down he's gonna go ahead |
9100s | and throw himself into the fights Rashi |
9102s | sticks behind the stain for the heel |
9104s | babuga jumps in and finds one and now |
9106s | he's taken out did they go too soon |
9109s | we'll find out boyo snakes have so much |
9112s | time 20 seconds on the clock here to |
9115s | make a move they could win this yeah the |
9117s | shadow tracker pistol could be big |
9118s | especially if anybody's trying to |
9119s | kinetic blade to the outside of Zone |
9121s | that Mark for a few seconds to let him |
9123s | know where we're at but I could take |
9124s | some tag his position is gonna be |
9126s | revealed but threats almost smooth |
9128s | towards The High Ground getting tacked |
9130s | out he has all the heals for his team |
9132s | which is why we saw Buddha drop down |
9134s | goes Baca speaks yet again he picks up |
9137s | his fourth elimination the men Miss is |
9139s | huge look at that pile of Lou he just |
9141s | found this is not your typical heel off |
9143s | this is one that you had to absolutely |
9145s | fight for Sphinx puts it all on the line |
9147s | steps into the Zone gets the siphon is |
9150s | it gonna be enough he has to survive for |
9152s | a little bit longer but no threats finds |
9155s | a heel when it matters most and he does |
9158s | survive in the end if there's gonna be a |
9160s | heal off I want us to play out just like |
9162s | that yeah there it goes and we were kind |
9164s | of talking backstage kind of questioning |
9167s | a little bit is threats that guy is |
9168s | booger that guy we talk about the chat |
9171s | that's going on around this team can |
9173s | they take that top spot because it's |
9175s | been all about old and acorn well guess |
9177s | what the question has been answered the |
9179s | Kings have arrived well we've seen the |
9180s | simulations we know what can happen when |
9183s | you put such exceptional decorated |
9185s | players together and just like that |
9187s | threats in Booga do enough to seal the |
9189s | deal and get the win that was an |
9192s | exceptional and incredible game for for |
9194s | not only dignitas book of a man city |
9196s | stress yeah and you saw some teams go |
9198s | down early Canadian ages you saw some |
9200s | teams perform well above standards |
9202s | including buga and threats in that |
9204s | Victor rail in the fourth game so |
9206s | leaderboard once again must be tossed |
9208s | turned upside down so I'm gonna throw it |
9210s | over Zeke and our analyst one more time |
9212s | to let us know where everybody stands |
9216s | thank you so much gentlemen fantastic |
9218s | set of games so far first off give a big |
9220s | well welcome to Kelly who is joining us |
9223s | here and will be with us for the last |
9224s | set of games my gosh so Booga and |
9227s | threats uh I like that Jacob kind of |
9229s | asked the question is that guy is threat |
9231s | that guy seems like they're both him |
9233s | they're both the guy and you could see |
9234s | that all the way from Zone Seven where |
9236s | they did that dead side rotation playing |
9238s | so smart that allowed them to get the |
9239s | advantage when Zone 8 did pull and they |
9242s | just kind of had a little bit of a luck |
9243s | of the draw there where the Zone did |
9244s | pull directly towards where they were |
9246s | and because of that advantageous |
9248s | position they were able to get height |
9249s | early and then hold it for pretty much |
9251s | the rest of the game yeah and honestly |
9253s | just because of that that exact position |
9255s | they were in they were able to you know |
9257s | last so long throughout end game yeah |
9260s | tons of eliminations we could see it |
9261s | like 12 eliminations taking high like |
9264s | and again to like the timing of them uh |
9266s | moving throughout Heights uh look at and |
9269s | also having that fast gun just tears |
9272s | through builds especially when you're on |
9274s | high it's crazy yeah the post rifle |
9276s | incredibly beneficial and threats making |
9278s | a great play right here making sure that |
9280s | he had to try and grab the heel offs |
9282s | because we saw Sphinx doing the same |
9284s | thing and we know that if you're on the |
9285s | low ground that's where there's going to |
9286s | be a lot of Loot on the ground because |
9288s | that's where all the players are |
9289s | dropping so he can allow Sphinx to do |
9291s | that by himself threats drops down finds |
9293s | a lucky heel to be fair and they grab |
9296s | that Victory Royale absolutely well hey |
9298s | time to take a look at the standings how |
9299s | are things shipping up after these last |
9301s | few games look at this edgy Duke they |
9304s | are still leading the pack but that lead |
9307s | is starting to shrink just a little bit |
9309s | a chord and Cole book to jump up now |
9311s | jumping up in that second place and |
9313s | after that Victory Royale Booga there |
9315s | and threats in fifth place they've now |
9317s | jumped up the two placements right now |
9320s | if you ask me coming into today is this |
9322s | a top five that you would expect cnna |
9324s | now I feel like it's starting to kind of |
9326s | be that top five I would expect to see |
9328s | Kelly yeah I mean a lot of these teams |
9330s | that we're seeing here are the Big Top |
9332s | Dogs Out of n a i mean we got you know |
9334s | of course Acorn and cold are reigning |
9335s | Champs but dukes and edgy you know |
9337s | dignitas is definitely happy with a lot |
9339s | of their players right now and I'm sure |
9341s | Dukes is one of them he has been doing a |
9343s | great job carrying his team a lot of |
9345s | kind of solo impact points coming from |
9347s | this player right here and a lot of that |
9349s | has to do with how they're taking these |
9351s | early engagements allowing them to get |
9353s | that much needed storm surge tags |
9355s | although as they say that we can see |
9356s | that they're below storms here so |
9358s | although they're able to grab those two |
9360s | eliminations at the start that still |
9361s | isn't as much as they need but edgy |
9364s | doing a good job holding out strong and |
9365s | solo towards the end game |
9368s | I think it's interesting as well like |
9369s | normally we're kind of used to seeing it |
9371s | on the other side right it's only Dukes |
9373s | that is actually the one finding those |
9374s | solo impacts but again Eddie he's like |
9376s | hey I'm here pulling my weight that's |
9378s | where you want to be |
9379s | yeah honestly honestly too to see that |
9382s | at the end Sphinx literally being like |
9384s | nah we're gonna go look for heels I know |
9386s | we talked about that's kind of crazy |
9387s | though he had to think ahead and say all |
9389s | right how how does it be possible for me |
9391s | to win this game I'm gonna try all that |
9393s | I can he got very lucky you know finding |
9395s | those heels but again too like smart |
9397s | going in the direction where the storm |
9398s | came from because he knows that that's |
9400s | where they will be |
9402s | um he just played this out so incredibly |
9404s | well oh yeah sticking to the low ground |
9405s | especially with a legendary Havoc pump |
9408s | shotgun being able to take down |
9410s | incredible top players like Baka I'm |
9412s | fairly certain he also took down cold |
9413s | and acorn so getting the last heels |
9416s | right there just a little too late with |
9418s | that heel but of course grabbing second |
9420s | place is doing a good job and sitting in |
9422s | fourth place overall it's pretty great |
9424s | you say second as well Acorn and cold |
9427s | Jumping Up Remember at the end of |
9429s | tomorrow after 12 games total |
9432s | we're looking for that winner of course |
9434s | but top three will also take us to |
9436s | Global's Acorn and cold they already |
9438s | have their spot in global so right now |
9441s | it's kind of like a Victory lap but |
9442s | they're also looking to kind of play |
9443s | spoiler for everyone else Kelly Abby |
9446s | yeah the beams that Acorn is doing with |
9448s | just the green red eye is absolutely |
9450s | insane I love the fact that we see him |
9452s | pick up Mythic munition a lot because |
9453s | that pistol can come in handy so many |
9456s | times I was looking and I was like Acorn |
9459s | I thought you were igl you're over here |
9461s | at fragging out getting all these like |
9463s | eliminations what's going on dude but I |
9465s | actually love the way that he played |
9466s | this out they they were really smart um |
9468s | and unfortunately you can get caught in |
9470s | sticky situations like that but they are |
9471s | actually we are seeing them continuously |
9474s | move up the leaderboard like we expected |
9475s | so I will you know I'm a big fan we |
9478s | already we already know this but I |
9480s | really do think we will continue to see |
9481s | them progressing throughout these next |
9483s | games and moving into tomorrow do you |
9485s | guys feel like right now we're seeing |
9486s | kind of more of these duels heat up and |
9489s | you know we kind of have to have this |
9490s | conversation some Duos like to be day |
9492s | one team and they look to perform their |
9494s | best on day one others look to do it on |
9496s | day two is this top five maybe |
9498s | indicative of day one day two somewhere |
9500s | in the middle what do you think Kelly |
9501s | I'm feeling like it's kind of top heavy |
9504s | right now a lot of the teams that we see |
9506s | getting into that kind of top five |
9507s | position or doing that time and time |
9510s | again and that's looking a little rough |
9511s | for the other teams that are below it |
9512s | doesn't even matter if you're a day two |
9514s | team when the teams that are in first |
9516s | through fifth are 80 points arrests |
9519s | ahead of the pack that's going to be a |
9520s | little rough for a lot of these other |
9521s | teams to kind of pick up where they need |
9523s | to in day two yeah I think these regions |
9525s | coming together they're trying to feel |
9526s | it feel it out and just kind of see what |
9528s | what they have to deal with moving |
9530s | forward absolutely let's do a little |
9531s | check in here with some of the stats |
9533s | we're seeing after just the first four |
9534s | games of the competition now we we have |
9538s | to kind of talk through this a little |
9539s | bit right so right at right off the gate |
9540s | solo impact points pretty simple right |
9543s | right now threats doing a very good job |
9545s | performing by himself this is just |
9547s | saying hey threats he's dope he's at the |
9549s | top when it comes to performing when |
9550s | he's by himself I mean look at all the |
9553s | stats that threats is taking right now |
9554s | not just solo impact points carrying |
9557s | Booga a little bit on his shoulders but |
9559s | also the most damage dealt the best |
9560s | damage ratio meaning that for every |
9562s | damage he's done that's the percentage |
9564s | of damage that he has not taken so 2.4 |
9566s | is incredible there and then distance |
9568s | traveled that's an interesting step |
9570s | honestly what I love about this is that |
9573s | threats as a player and we're talking |
9575s | about like solo impact points but just |
9576s | as a player overall he has not yet |
9578s | gotten fncs championship and I want to |
9582s | see that happen I would love to see |
9584s | Booga and threats come out on top and |
9587s | threats I really truly believe does |
9589s | deserve the NCS title yeah they are kind |
9592s | of that caliber duel we would expect to |
9593s | see in globals right but again two days |
9596s | of competition four games down two more |
9598s | to go today another six tomorrow that |
9600s | momentum can they keep that going Kelly |
9602s | I mean definitely we've seen them time |
9604s | and time again have an incredible |
9605s | performance not just from the early game |
9606s | but obviously mid and late game as well |
9608s | but they do still have a few tie-ins in |
9611s | their way if they want to do grab that |
9612s | first place lot there's a lot on the |
9614s | line and I really want to see these |
9615s | teams step up and make it happen there |
9617s | you have it it is that time though as |
9620s | all things come to end this part is over |
9621s | but game five is ready to go I know you |
9625s | want games me too let's get back into |
9626s | the action this is the fncs |
9630s | foreign |
9634s | when you're having fun and I'm having a |
9637s | Time of My Life along with monster D |
9639s | face calm the action it's been four |
9641s | incredible games up until this point I'm |
9644s | hoping this fifth one doesn't disappoint |
9645s | I know it's not because we're one step |
9648s | closer to closing out day one but here |
9650s | it is you heard that battle bus and so |
9653s | did I let us see what's gonna unfold for |
9656s | us right now I mean Jacob listen we've |
9658s | had so much of a our literal predictions |
9661s | come to life right now the teams that |
9663s | we've expected to step up perform |
9665s | they're doing just that other teams that |
9667s | are having contested conversations on |
9669s | the drop are on The Winning Side more or |
9671s | less if you had your you know again your |
9673s | best hedge in that team I'm talking |
9675s | about is Canadian ages last game they |
9677s | were dropped immediately this game |
9678s | touchdown gets a shotgun out the gate |
9680s | there a little hesitation from agers and |
9681s | he sets up oh and super close we know |
9685s | the differences Sprite does find the |
9686s | headshot and Kanata comes in for the |
9689s | trade he has to get the full finish he |
9690s | needs the siphon there's no time to |
9692s | waste Giants breaks open the build and |
9694s | Canada was close but not close enough |
9696s | Giants and Sprite win again here game |
9698s | four now game five they are poising and |
9701s | setting themselves up to have you know |
9703s | again just the upset I think of the |
9705s | weekend yeah and one thing that you kind |
9707s | of noticed if you are not just |
9708s | necessarily distracted by that all spawn |
9710s | exchange is Bucky and ocus again |
9712s | stealing away those kinetic plates and |
9715s | they're gonna go ahead and use that to |
9716s | dash back to their actual spot but you |
9718s | see the feed getting lit up right now |
9720s | both yamzo and Rise taking down demonics |
9723s | and Nick yet again so that's another |
9726s | off-spawn win for them rice and Chubbs |
9728s | uncontested kind of pushing paper and |
9730s | Shadow off and honestly so far at least |
9733s | two big off-spawn wins for Bryce and |
9736s | Chubbs paper and Shadow are really gonna |
9738s | have to think about if they're gonna |
9739s | contest it at any point for the |
9741s | remainder of this event |
9743s | we've seen this fight break out a few |
9745s | times and it hasn't looked good for Zeus |
9747s | Orlando very tough position to be in |
9750s | when you have such an ex just an |
9752s | exceptional duel right above you and |
9754s | again the difference between the teams |
9756s | we've seen battle uh Canadian agers on |
9759s | one in zypho they when they win their |
9762s | drops turn them into just such monstrous |
9764s | games clearly showing us they are well |
9767s | within a top 10 caliber Duo across North |
9771s | America think about that not just all |
9773s | they're playing well today no they're |
9775s | playing well Against The Wider spread of |
9777s | the entire North America while contested |
9779s | on a drop so |
9781s | you know who's to say what's gonna |
9782s | happen if they can make it to Global |
9784s | championships when they're just |
9785s | yeah this is the creme de la cram the |
9787s | cream of the crop is land chalk trying |
9789s | to fight back seven HP in a dream now |
9791s | he's stuck as a solo as his teammate |
9792s | Suzuki did go down he's fighting back |
9795s | but it's just not gonna be enough on one |
9797s | makes that final shot count yet again |
9799s | they picked up two eliminations towards |
9801s | the outskirts though he did see both |
9803s | Chris and Yaz begin to put shots on it |
9807s | wasn't a ton but at least something |
9808s | added towards their Storm surges |
9810s | commandment mackwood so far out in the |
9813s | outskirts on an island away from the |
9816s | main island here they're in a 2V1 |
9817s | situation where they're able to get that |
9819s | first elimination so far Scarab Bears |
9821s | trying to use the kinetic blade to try |
9822s | to get out the shots are still firing in |
9824s | building anything to try to fight back |
9826s | and even shooting down Mack wood but |
9828s | it's not going to be enough he still |
9830s | meets his demise and that's gonna be a |
9833s | ton of gluten a ton of space that |
9835s | commandment Mac would just won last time |
9837s | we saw commandment performed poorly in |
9839s | the fncs he switched up his Duo and he |
9841s | went with a completely different |
9842s | strategy thus turning around a top three |
9845s | performance this time around I mean he's |
9847s | in a bit of a trouble right here this is |
9848s | a team I think is probably the most |
9850s | underperforming that we've seen so far |
9852s | commandment and master is expected so |
9854s | much more from but let's get to another |
9855s | team that has such a great set of |
9857s | accolades under their belt even on |
9859s | today's competition Duke and edgy they |
9861s | start off extremely strong they've |
9863s | managed to continue to maintain that |
9864s | consistency there but that was a close |
9867s | one was not given up for free yeah |
9869s | you're seeing how every single one of |
9871s | these games are starting so far now you |
9874s | can see Duke alone 16 eliminations |
9875s | average placement seventh and even |
9878s | though they're not getting a victory out |
9881s | they're staying consistent consistency |
9882s | wins overall Juan chalk once again |
9884s | trying to fight take over this POI the |
9887s | door can bolt to try to switch things up |
9889s | haven't been having the best day former |
9891s | n a Champions the shots are gonna fire |
9893s | through trades between the two teams |
9895s | they're working bolts now get hip to hip |
9897s | in the same box trying to stabilize |
9899s | himself in this position both taking a |
9901s | lot of damage he's a big part of this |
9902s | team's aggressive nature and he goes |
9905s | down but you've got go ahead and give it |
9906s | up to Thor he was able to escape because |
9908s | now as long as he stays alive they at |
9910s | least have hope to try to get back into |
9912s | this game Jack really is showing us why |
9914s | he is of course a previous fncs Champion |
9916s | holder as well |
9918s | just notice what a professional player |
9920s | would do he didn't care to reload he |
9921s | says nope I'm gonna go and step up take |
9922s | this wall use my shotgun that's all I |
9924s | need TK rituals another excellent team |
9927s | of course naughty Nets is their |
9929s | playground |
9930s | we were hyping him up last game of |
9932s | course as a team that could perform well |
9934s | in these early game head-to-heads |
9938s | but it's the mid game it's the end game |
9940s | and of course has been coming a little |
9941s | bit more difficult for TK and Richland |
9944s | to find that conversion |
9946s | every game so far they've kind of been |
9947s | splitting the loot going their separate |
9949s | ways and they might not like where |
9951s | they're at on the leaderboard because of |
9953s | that loot split between the two teams so |
9955s | now they're trying to find it out off |
9956s | spawn one team is trying to claim all |
9959s | that loot as their own but with a couple |
9960s | of shots being fired off traded between |
9963s | the two it's gonna be TK and rituals who |
9965s | actually choose to disengage back on |
9967s | over to the north side of naughty Nets |
9969s | where they kind of been typically |
9970s | playing you see him use that bush just |
9973s | waiting looking back seeing if anybody |
9975s | is daring enough to peek as you see Mira |
9977s | bringing Cooper back into the game may |
9979s | not be how they wanted to start game |
9981s | number five but this is exactly how you |
9983s | pick yourself up and get back into it |
9986s | I'm all for it Miro Cooper starting to |
9989s | really Cruise their way through right |
9991s | now the last uh two games of show has |
9993s | these uh pretty far zones that have |
9995s | tilted their way towards the east sides |
9998s | and it's been really well for them as |
10000s | of course being one of those Northern |
10002s | Landing teams blue band threats on the |
10004s | opposite side of this conversation of |
10006s | course |
10007s | don't really have too much competition |
10008s | near them but for the first time it does |
10010s | look like they're sensing some |
10012s | resistance I can see a team of course |
10014s | located to the far north and now one to |
10016s | the South Side as well so it might be |
10018s | for the first time now in a bit of a |
10019s | pinch here yeah they're separated |
10021s | they're going threats but they're not |
10024s | strangers they do kind of split up more |
10025s | often than not very very early on in the |
10027s | game to try to get information early |
10029s | storm surge on one zaifa you look like |
10033s | they have their opponents Batman Booga |
10034s | and bacon slowly but surely trying to |
10036s | pick up the pace team that is kind of |
10038s | used to fighting getting their storm |
10040s | surge very very early on in the game has |
10042s | it come to fruition just yet and that's |
10045s | how you see them last game and now this |
10047s | would get a little bit more proactive |
10048s | closing the distance between there and |
10050s | their opponents and trying to get |
10051s | anything for themselves to work with |
10054s | gotta imagine a couple shots were traded |
10056s | off and fired but that's going to be a |
10058s | green light for Batman Booga and bacon |
10059s | to kind of rotate to the center of this |
10061s | Zone yeah dude looking like there are in |
10063s | some good spirits there as well for |
10066s | acorn and cold much slower paced game |
10068s | for them for the first time we see them |
10070s | positioned just outside the mega City |
10072s | here looking to see what they can put as |
10074s | far as pressure down onto the inside and |
10076s | a quick stat for crew here Acorn and |
10078s | cold have averaged 4.67 eliminations per |
10081s | game and weekly finals the best of any |
10082s | duo in N A they come on into the grand |
10085s | finals weekend stuff right on up after a |
10089s | shy performance I'll call it a shy |
10091s | performance because it didn't show up in |
10093s | game one but after that they really came |
10095s | out and showed that yeah usually game |
10097s | number one is is where our competitors |
10099s | they kind of feel each other out they |
10101s | figure out how they're going to play are |
10102s | you going to play the way you're playing |
10103s | scrims are you going to play the way |
10104s | you're playing a Duo cash cup because |
10106s | you said it yourself monster the finals |
10108s | Lobby where all these Superstars come |
10110s | into one our top 50 teams it's just a |
10112s | whole different Beast this isn't |
10114s | something that anybody can necessarily |
10116s | prepare for at every single turn so it's |
10119s | definitely going to take a lot of these |
10120s | players to dig deep and kind of figure |
10121s | out what they're going to do and see |
10123s | fatch and Pam so almost with the 3-2-1 |
10126s | put some great shots on to Chris try to |
10128s | imagine where it does is at for now but |
10130s | interesting decision though I think it |
10132s | did a good amount of damage but they're |
10134s | choosing to disengage to stay ahead of |
10135s | the Zone this of course is one of our |
10137s | top 10 teams fashion Pam so I've had |
10139s | quite the performance fate just all in |
10142s | all nothing flashy but very consistent |
10144s | in the end game causing upsets |
10148s | as our longest and most consistent |
10151s | standing Duo team that have played |
10153s | tournament after tournament |
10155s | finals appearance after finals |
10156s | appearance they truly are a model Duo |
10159s | and even now see I'm putting in taking |
10162s | into sacrifices paper in Shadow here's |
10165s | someone who is completely mixed up his |
10167s | strategy this this go around for the fnc |
10169s | yes and it's worked out so far |
10172s | some might call it beginner's luck new |
10174s | Duos you know ah magical hit off if you |
10178s | want to call it that but Shadow is it |
10179s | just a great player when he's on point |
10182s | when he's focused up and that's what |
10183s | people talked about remember we have |
10184s | that interview yeah gave us a little |
10186s | insight |
10187s | that's right that's what I want to see |
10188s | coming out from paper and Shadow the |
10190s | confidence to be able to kind of pop off |
10192s | at a moment's notice four points per |
10194s | elimination do allow players with the |
10196s | victory Royale to pop off that's exactly |
10199s | what we saw from Booga and threats last |
10202s | game and you're already seeing them off |
10204s | kind of a little bit of a hot start here |
10206s | are huge weapons cash they're staying on |
10208s | the southern portion of the map they're |
10210s | doing so many great things but I'm gonna |
10211s | go ahead and throw it on over to Vivid |
10213s | so go ahead and go ahead and throw that |
10215s | list out for us for what Booga and |
10216s | threats are doing |
10218s | yeah dominate doing so many great things |
10220s | off to a hot start but it actually |
10222s | starts with their early game there were |
10224s | some concerns coming into the day |
10225s | whether they would be able to get the |
10227s | majority of their split job of course |
10229s | because of some of the way that some |
10231s | things are working out towards a shot |
10233s | spot they are actually able to gather up |
10235s | all of this loot now the bulk of this |
10237s | split shop is actually going to be the |
10238s | building on that island just south of |
10240s | Mega city that has both of those kinetic |
10243s | blade spawns for this Duo |
10246s | and it's crazy because I had a concern |
10248s | for a second did they actually get |
10251s | active did they find types they sure did |
10253s | in the breakdown you saw that |
10255s | they were fine in tax they were you know |
10257s | putting the tags out on the teams in a |
10258s | distance and doing exactly what they're |
10260s | supposed to do a duel of their caliber |
10262s | really pressuring everyone around them |
10264s | it's crazy how many seasons Buddha has |
10266s | demanded not even demanded just the |
10269s | players completely respect them they |
10271s | just give them all the territory that he |
10273s | quite literally wants to blame |
10275s | talk about territory and claiming it |
10277s | this one's going to be a hard position |
10278s | to rotate through |
10281s | it's three teams kind of stacked up here |
10283s | a fourth one a little bit far off two |
10285s | more trying to come into the distance |
10286s | Cooper and Miro already forced to reboot |
10289s | each other back into the game |
10290s | you can kind of see the match only four |
10293s | builds to work with off the back of Miro |
10294s | he was the one that was kind of brought |
10296s | back |
10297s | thanks to the augment Mythic Munitions |
10299s | his inventory can definitely pack a |
10301s | punch but you can see that it's looking |
10303s | for right now is a refresh who they can |
10305s | catch off guard who they can take |
10307s | advantage of because if they don't find |
10309s | one getting through point A to point B |
10311s | at this next zone is going to be hard as |
10313s | can be for them |
10315s | absolutely and now they have to make a |
10317s | decision they're going to go ahead and |
10318s | look to play The Zone deep here using |
10321s | the terrain to their benefit but the |
10323s | mats are so low |
10325s | [Music] |
10326s | and there it is they get tagged from |
10329s | behind |
10330s | it's gonna be all she wrote for a moment |
10332s | if he can't get to some heels or some |
10334s | copper and there it is taken down now |
10337s | Cooper is all that's left here |
10340s | you see him he all the decisions kind of |
10343s | running through Cooper's mind is this |
10345s | something I can do can I be the hero yet |
10347s | again yamzo is going to get credit for |
10349s | that elimination but at least Cooper in |
10351s | the back of his mind is looking for the |
10353s | timing to try to grab that reboot card |
10355s | maybe get a second chance once more to |
10356s | bring Miro back into the game or someone |
10358s | say third chances because he already did |
10360s | it once and you're seeing the position |
10361s | of where yomzone rise actually we're |
10364s | able to pick up that elimination from |
10365s | not too far off of their original drop |
10367s | spot but that's what you see in this |
10369s | meta right now so many skyscrapers so |
10372s | many Towers in the sky and that's how a |
10374s | lot of these teams are picking up storm |
10375s | surge or in this case eliminations yeah |
10378s | and that is exactly the elimination we |
10380s | saw play out there the full finish too |
10381s | coming into this game Mira or iamso and |
10384s | ryze were just outside that top ten |
10386s | these eliminations that they're racking |
10388s | up right now surely have closing the Gap |
10390s | if the competitors haven't done |
10393s | the work as well so three elims you know |
10396s | honestly barely approaching the mid game |
10399s | what an excellent spot to be in |
10401s | way to position yourself talking about |
10402s | excellent spots here we have this look |
10404s | at Booga in bacon it doesn't get much |
10407s | better than this as Rift island is of |
10409s | course the place that's going to yield |
10411s | you that legendary pulse rifle |
10417s | usually is the highest point of the map |
10420s | and then I look in the distance |
10422s | I see one of the buildings from New York |
10424s | your hometown |
10426s | the Empire State a lot of skyscrapers |
10429s | and the good old city of New York never |
10432s | know where you're gonna catch there |
10434s | he shows braids though see them trying |
10437s | to sneak |
10437s | pass their opponents |
10440s | they're well above the storm surge |
10441s | threshold over 400 for them it's just |
10444s | trying to find any position into our |
10446s | Zone but become the focus of the lobby |
10448s | which is tough because both visuals |
10450s | grades might not have any HP to regain |
10452s | visual stuck with just 27. player guns |
10455s | going off as well so position isn't |
10458s | going to be a secret to motion lobby as |
10459s | the pressure continues from so many |
10461s | other directions this Dragon that's a |
10463s | leash that's Yusuf that's curious all |
10465s | making them expend so many mats you kind |
10467s | of see visuals have some of his own |
10469s | spreading it out and get even less so |
10471s | for them they need a refresh for a |
10473s | multitude of reasons demolition in full |
10475s | effect right here and it costs them so |
10478s | much already down now to the bottom |
10480s | quarter of their metal very tough spot |
10483s | to be in |
10484s | on one in a much more I would say uh |
10488s | friendly position looking pretty nice |
10491s | area very pleasant impact |
10493s | he's got all the Time in the World to go |
10495s | ahead and arm up taking the brick off |
10497s | this building here is going to be huge |
10498s | look at that even find himself some |
10500s | spare mushrooms down low curiosity |
10502s | doesn't take down the cat this time in |
10505s | fact he gets rewarded to yourself well |
10507s | played for him |
10508s | it's got a very nice rotate to make as |
10510s | well here down the left side so onward |
10512s | and zypho poison themselves up the last |
10514s | time we checked up with the team that |
10515s | was looking that good was Acorn and cold |
10517s | in game three and that turned out to be |
10519s | an excellent showing for them so |
10521s | let's see what's gonna happen here this |
10523s | is a team right here that throughout the |
10526s | three weekly finals I had High Hopes |
10528s | they had such great performances game |
10530s | after game even picking up a victorial |
10533s | throughout some of the weeks but they |
10535s | left a lot kind of Wonder but luckily |
10537s | that we keep talking about a two-day |
10539s | Affair this is game number five it's not |
10541s | necessarily always how you start it is |
10543s | how you finish and for some teams it is |
10546s | imperative that they finish strong on |
10548s | the day you have to put yourself in a |
10549s | position on the leaderboard that way you |
10551s | have a Fighting Chance the augment Bush |
10552s | Warrior coming into full effect right |
10554s | there you saw it and nearly use that |
10556s | legendary slurp juice but second thought |
10558s | but nope that's massive it shows you how |
10561s | much augments really shift the game and |
10564s | give the players a chance to go ahead |
10566s | and play the best they can play here's |
10568s | Buck you know kiss the very Hit or Miss |
10570s | team on the day they've got some great |
10571s | show ups and some not so hot ones and |
10575s | already right now |
10577s | they're making their way into the mid |
10578s | game this is a true disrupter of the duo |
10583s | honestly and not necessarily surprised |
10585s | that they're down on storm shirts |
10586s | considering their flexible strategy kind |
10589s | of landing on the outskirts of the |
10591s | racetrack taking away those kinetic |
10592s | blades then going on an adventure from |
10595s | there as far as in Baka we saw them not |
10598s | too long ago try to contest that Rift |
10600s | Island so it's an interesting decision |
10602s | that they don't grab those overclocked |
10604s | pulse rifles or at least not both of |
10605s | them |
10607s | if any if if vodka even wanted in his |
10609s | hands but honestly I can see why once |
10611s | you get that red eye in your hands |
10613s | you're able to put down a lot of damage |
10614s | from Storage surge even if you have a |
10616s | Mythic Munitions in your back pocket you |
10617s | may not necessarily need an overclock |
10619s | post rifle absolutely but what was that |
10622s | literally had a single build open while |
10625s | they were carving and just clipped with |
10627s | the head shot twice from above the cold |
10629s | and acorn are doing just that as well |
10631s | this time the team's in the Box this is |
10633s | why you gotta be extremely careful when |
10635s | you open up and edit it does completely |
10638s | reset the help from the walls and the |
10640s | punishment can start to fly back |
10643s | this is the little things that cold and |
10647s | acorn look for and take advantage of |
10649s | that and this is again why they are |
10651s | almost leading the competition right now |
10654s | truly catching up and closing the gap |
10657s | you can kind of see once again he did |
10658s | bring Miro back |
10660s | inside of Cooper but finally he does go |
10662s | down as far as in Baka to get the |
10664s | eliminations and the refresh for their |
10666s | efforts |
10667s | and that's biggest cotton to get their |
10669s | momentum going I talked them up I talked |
10671s | them up big before the show I'm just |
10673s | hoping it can kind of hold on to their |
10675s | position you see Poyo and sphinx over |
10676s | towards Mega City trying to get into the |
10678s | zone is dragging the leaves they got an |
10679s | elimination not too long ago |
10682s | and that's why they're fighting for all |
10683s | this loot that's getting left behind |
10684s | this is a crazy pocket to be in as well |
10687s | this back corner had zephan Cru zepher |
10689s | taken out by Muzz who gets the full |
10691s | finish and now you have all these |
10692s | players trying to rotate right now |
10693s | Dragon unleash I've had again an |
10695s | exceptional track record of mid-game |
10697s | battles as far as their in-game |
10699s | conversions not quite where they want it |
10701s | to be they can patch that up on day two |
10703s | they'll be set up for a great grand |
10704s | finals and potentially even a chance at |
10707s | the global champions |
10708s | again you have to make it into top three |
10710s | it's not just winning the this fncs and |
10713s | getting paid today and of course having |
10714s | your acts of Champions Global |
10716s | championships is on the line right now |
10718s | arguably The Prestige of the of the |
10722s | weekend there's going to be more than |
10723s | one winner it's gonna be three big |
10725s | people the three teams of course that |
10728s | are going to be extremely happy to set |
10729s | up late regardless of what |
10733s | we got a couple players already going |
10734s | that Global Championship bulletin Thor |
10737s | oh yeah Acorn cold they already punched |
10740s | their ticket if anybody's wondering what |
10742s | if they win what if they get in the top |
10743s | three well it just rolls down to that |
10745s | next spot blessing in disguise for some |
10747s | is dragging a lead putting the pressure |
10749s | onto the backside of Zone finding a |
10751s | couple of shots but definitely not what |
10752s | they're looking for is they take that |
10754s | first take to storm surge before going |
10756s | right above |
10757s | it's gonna be huge for them to stay |
10758s | ahead of that curve but it's gonna be |
10760s | hard at the same time because boob |
10761s | threats are literally right behind them |
10763s | they're doing well dragging the leaves |
10765s | Now find themselves just on the edge of |
10767s | the Zone here Hound is the team on site |
10771s | they're only 123 above so you know |
10773s | they're gonna have to make the decision |
10774s | soon |
10775s | potentially take this fight see cease in |
10778s | the feed there finds TK cease of course |
10781s | you've been following his story develop |
10783s | here |
10784s | it's time to turn up there's another one |
10785s | of those players that are inside the |
10787s | middle of the pack for pumping trashy |
10789s | they're in the top ten what a way to |
10791s | continue to rack up and earn points here |
10793s | as they find Roku in the vet |
10796s | big impact elimination for them momentum |
10799s | shifting last two games where you're at |
10801s | in the leaderboard at the end of the day |
10803s | goes to show do I have to play catch-up |
10806s | do I have to have a monster game do I |
10808s | have to do XYZ and throughout the top of |
10811s | the leaderboard you're controlling your |
10813s | own destiny you're giving yourself more |
10814s | than enough room to work with and if you |
10816s | kind of see our top five teams are still |
10818s | alive left in this Lobby including Duke |
10820s | and edgy who have been forming at a |
10823s | consistent out of this world standard so |
10825s | far on the day they're able to hold on |
10827s | to that one they could be our favorites |
10829s | going in today too they came into this |
10831s | game with a 20 plus point lead two elims |
10835s | already are showing us that they're |
10836s | pacing their way to continue to maintain |
10839s | it it's gonna be extremely and I mean |
10841s | extremely hard to |
10843s | catch them falling off the high horse |
10846s | right here and take advantage |
10848s | of their downfall it's just not gonna |
10850s | come easy when they're playing this well |
10853s | this might be one of those ones where |
10854s | you chalk up you sleep and you rehearse |
10856s | for day two |
10858s | so far Duke Energy are doing everything |
10860s | in their power to succeed look at the |
10862s | adjustments now we're seeing from epic |
10863s | whale and reap I love that we are seeing |
10865s | different styles of play here here's a |
10867s | team that also just has not given up |
10869s | they're starting to fight back right now |
10871s | again you're kind of noticing right now |
10872s | a green habit what is that for a team |
10875s | for epic play on read but usually always |
10877s | grabs the Vault loot from Mega City it's |
10879s | a surprising turn of events but they're |
10882s | still down on storm surge that has been |
10884s | the trend throughout our weekly finals |
10886s | leading up to this how are they gonna |
10888s | deal to it was one of the questions that |
10889s | I was asking myself and man are they |
10891s | Landing shots with their back up against |
10892s | the wall dodging these storm surge |
10895s | attacks is going to be important because |
10896s | they definitely got a little bit of a |
10898s | journey to go before they get that |
10899s | safety of the zone |
10901s | and again surprising foot rotate too |
10904s | when we follow so many teams that have |
10907s | the kinetic plays baked into their |
10908s | strategy this is like a breath of fresh |
10910s | air but it's it's toxic it's toxic here |
10913s | it's pretty tough for them you can see |
10914s | punishment that comes in It's Not Easy |
10916s | by any means the costume material and |
10918s | everything as well it really does paint |
10921s | a picture for us |
10922s | shows us how much harder it is when you |
10925s | don't quite have your strategy play out |
10928s | the way you want it to that volt is is a |
10930s | key to turning the events around yeah |
10932s | and in my history watching epic well |
10935s | whether he was with Arkham on West or |
10937s | when he's trying to change on over to |
10938s | Reed he is like a second half type of |
10940s | player but he knows where he needs a big |
10942s | game because he's on the leaderboard not |
10944s | where he wants to be they look for those |
10946s | eliminations they kind of play into |
10948s | their role off the leaderboard as Chubbs |
10950s | Bryce stuck down low Zone's gonna get a |
10952s | Max pool that's about 150 meters away |
10955s | before they find their safety up the |
10957s | zone and without a kinetic blade or even |
10959s | any heels for that matter for chubs and |
10961s | price you definitely got your hands full |
10963s | and this is the worst we've seen our |
10964s | third place team chubs and Bryce this is |
10966s | literally by far the poorest position |
10968s | they've been in where they find |
10969s | themselves with no heels below the |
10972s | material count they probably would have |
10974s | liked and a big rotate to go in front of |
10976s | them as they're on the back side of the |
10977s | zone so if there's a game that hasn't |
10979s | been going their way it's this one I |
10980s | have to assume it's because they didn't |
10982s | find enough fights in the early |
10983s | situations here's a new team on high |
10985s | ground it's Chris from Fusion it's W uh |
10988s | TJ's school here and they're looking to |
10989s | poison themselves up for a high ground |
10991s | position and a fight right now we're |
10993s | gonna slide on over it's not buzz and DJ |
10995s | in there they're not gonna give it a |
10996s | free Chris is literally playing his hand |
10998s | out and no he realizes hey wait a second |
11001s | that's not quite the same Jonah we gotta |
11003s | get over to the side he lands in the Box |
11004s | what was that caught up boxed up and |
11008s | diced up minced by Acorn and cold there |
11011s | and it's over that's such a tragedy |
11014s | because now it's cool has left by |
11016s | himself in a very very similar spot but |
11018s | without the kinetic play now he comes to |
11020s | focus a lot of his materials are getting |
11022s | expended just down to 10 and that number |
11024s | slowly but surely dwindling down with |
11026s | multiple players trying to attack from |
11027s | different angles as he's trying to |
11029s | escape but finally gets caught out |
11031s | taking down the lobby Timber buns and DJ |
11034s | and get dropped right out of the sky so |
11036s | nobody is really has that Tower built in |
11038s | the sky just yet and it's a free-for-all |
11040s | now who's gonna scramble up for the high |
11042s | positions here cold and acorn can be one |
11043s | of the feuds to take a stab at it |
11045s | quantum peterbot ironing up the teams |
11047s | right now who have decided to go for it |
11049s | a little too soon a little too late as |
11051s | they don't have quite the material count |
11053s | to make the big fight you can enter just |
11055s | fighting their way through but again |
11057s | edgy's down now this is trouble in |
11059s | Paradise here top 10 looming in the |
11062s | distance there it's a long stretched out |
11065s | in these end games 60 seconds feels like |
11067s | forever but you have to stay alive |
11071s | made a mistake he dropped the splashes |
11073s | he did want that legendary Havoc but he |
11076s | dropped the splashes which he was trying |
11078s | to keep but instead he kept the men |
11079s | missed but at least it's something to |
11081s | kind of stagger himself in and out of |
11082s | the Zone but from our last game Victor |
11084s | out bigger and threat they're in a great |
11086s | position but cold is not he has to do it |
11089s | by himself as a solo but I will say if |
11092s | anybody is capable of a massive feat |
11094s | like this it is going to be someone like |
11096s | cold we've seen the big place from him |
11098s | before as well he has an additional win |
11100s | condition in his hands but oh no you |
11102s | don't want to fall now another team |
11103s | literally comes in at the opportune time |
11106s | almost saves him he opens up takes away |
11108s | an Elon for himself that's that's a |
11110s | knock there and now he has to slide on |
11113s | out there it is sliding his way to low |
11115s | ground little delay to go ahead and put |
11116s | his bills down but he's fully situated |
11118s | now I'm back in the running on High |
11120s | Ground peterbot quality end up turning |
11121s | things around so keep an eye out on them |
11123s | they could be setting themselves up for |
11125s | the win but everyone else now has to |
11127s | keep fighting their way through yeah |
11128s | this is what we like to see as well two |
11130s | staying ahead of all and it's on the low |
11132s | ground you can see the edit towards the |
11133s | back side of the zone to give himself a |
11135s | little bit more safety as the kinetic |
11136s | blades racked towards the front side I |
11138s | talked about the men missing the |
11139s | splashes that he has he hasn't had to |
11141s | use much into this point but the pulse |
11143s | Rife was breathing through the builds |
11145s | taking some damage he's forced to try to |
11147s | get anything that he can parse breaks |
11149s | through trashy goes down I think they're |
11151s | in the great position to try to take it |
11152s | with eight elimination so far this is |
11154s | crazy Parson Foster dragging everyone |
11156s | out to the Deep Waters and forcing them |
11158s | down to hold their breath eight elin's |
11160s | and Counting right now as we're inside |
11162s | the near top 10 and finally there it is |
11165s | he does end up losing box okay someone |
11166s | had a life vest they're fighting back |
11168s | par swings around the side connect |
11170s | blades on up and he's out of material |
11172s | it's all or nothing now at least he has |
11174s | the men Miss it's not gonna get him to |
11175s | full HP but it's nothing to work with as |
11177s | he finally gets taken down tagged up |
11179s | that's Muzz he won game number one seven |
11182s | eliminations for the team so far as |
11184s | peterbot trying to hold on to The High |
11185s | Ground but quantity gets lost Clarity |
11187s | doing what he can he's able to get the |
11189s | lights and the seism's gonna get cleaned |
11190s | up and to the top two we go and peterbot |
11193s | is by himself in a 1v2 situation getting |
11196s | forced on his own that's nounsy and ZZ |
11198s | trying to take it all and pressure him |
11200s | but do they have the heels or the |
11202s | momentum on the side it looks like ZZ is |
11204s | going deep into the zone to try to fight |
11205s | him you hear the men miss going off does |
11207s | he have enough is peterbot finally runs |
11209s | out now it's his turn to get onto the |
11211s | Hut decipher is gonna get picked up that |
11214s | was huge that siphon was big that could |
11216s | be it the difference for peterbot but |
11218s | only two ticks left in the zone his luck |
11220s | is finally runs out as nowaday and ZZ |
11223s | take the game that's actually crazy in |
11225s | an unseen turn of events |
11227s | ZZ found a mad miss when he ran back |
11230s | into the storm but more importantly |
11233s | peterbot must have must have thought he |
11235s | won that when he caught the sight yeah |
11237s | that was it was huge fine because he |
11238s | didn't even necessarily get the knock |
11240s | onto that player but he definitely got |
11242s | the cleanup and I was wondering almost |
11245s | all day long with how well peterbot and |
11247s | quantity are performing when are they |
11249s | going to show up and they showed up |
11250s | feeding this last game just not big |
11252s | enough and now the literally was the the |
11254s | Deep shark in the sea there takes down |
11256s | Baca and then turns it around and he was |
11259s | just cleaning up house on the low ground |
11260s | finds Clarity G as well and just credits |
11263s | to them for trying to you know make the |
11265s | mega brain play nounsy hides his body |
11268s | not well enough as he was discovered by |
11270s | peterbot but what a way for them to go |
11272s | ahead play Big play smart and win |
11273s | gameplay you talked about the men miss |
11275s | that elimination as well Peter Bot Man |
11279s | you gotta watch out but congratulations |
11281s | yet again another team entering The Fray |
11284s | and taking a VR yeah absolutely so let's |
11286s | go ahead and do the math gotta get |
11288s | caught up |
11290s | thank you so much Jacob PR monster D |
11293s | face one game is left to go but here in |
11296s | game number five fellow Z's ZZ and noun |
11299s | Z get it because I'm a Zeke okay |
11303s | uh they give themselves the victory Roy |
11306s | owl and I have to give as they give |
11308s | credit to peterbot knowing like in those |
11311s | moments when someone goes down it's hard |
11314s | to find them but peterbot knew exactly |
11316s | where they were and I thought I really |
11319s | my heart of hearts believe no way |
11321s | peterbot just clutched it but apparently |
11322s | not not quite I think we've a lot of |
11325s | people feel the same way we all thought |
11326s | that peterbot had that right there and I |
11328s | love that you bring up you know being |
11330s | aware of where other people are and I |
11332s | think what ZZ did really well there is |
11334s | being aware of where the heels are going |
11336s | to be once you do get down to the final |
11338s | five teams you'll actually see a lot of |
11340s | players kind of paying attention to what |
11341s | is on the ground around them because |
11343s | they know that eventually it might be |
11345s | going down to a heel off as we've seen |
11347s | time and time again so being aware of |
11349s | what's going on around you not just |
11350s | where the players are but also where the |
11352s | loot is a pivotal part of success the |
11354s | timing when it comes to heal off is so |
11357s | incredibly important like we said we |
11358s | really we thought it was going one way |
11360s | and it's just completely went a |
11361s | different direction and it's something |
11362s | that you can try and practice but at the |
11364s | end of the day uh finding those last |
11366s | minute heels it's really just down to |
11368s | the wire and it can be thrown up in |
11370s | there you just never know who's it gonna |
11372s | go to in this case we got now and uh |
11375s | dabs over here that's right we have to |
11376s | turn our attention to the standings |
11378s | because remember we only have one more |
11379s | game to go here and then we'll be back |
11381s | tomorrow for the last six and from there |
11384s | ultimately determine uh who's gonna win |
11386s | Mage number two and what the top three |
11388s | moving on to globals will be but for now |
11390s | how are the standings Duke and edgy they |
11395s | have maintained this lead and I gotta |
11399s | say I'm extremely impressed with the duo |
11401s | and even Acorn and cold right the last |
11403s | few games they've held those two spots |
11405s | down but as you said last week Kelly |
11410s | edgy has always been the bridesmaid of |
11412s | the Bride could we finally break the |
11414s | curse is this the major to break the |
11416s | curse I mean with a 30-point lead right |
11418s | now they're doing a great job they have |
11419s | the second most amount of eliminations |
11421s | as well as the most amount of placement |
11423s | points so not only are they winning |
11424s | every single one of their early |
11425s | engagements but they're also able to |
11427s | translate that into a successful in-game |
11429s | right here and something that Duke does |
11431s | an incredibly good job of is staying |
11433s | ahead of the pack and finding the right |
11435s | ground to kind of land on you'll see |
11437s | Hill just by going from mid ground to |
11439s | low ground to High Ground depending on |
11440s | what's the most advantageous for him and |
11443s | we can see right here holding down the |
11444s | mid ground doing a great job going from |
11446s | two to four eliminations in the blink of |
11448s | an eye right there while also still |
11449s | having heels unfortunately he does go |
11451s | down but again if you're able to |
11453s | consistently make it into the in-game |
11455s | time and time again a victory Royale |
11457s | doesn't matter I mean look they have |
11459s | zero and they're still in that first |
11460s | place spot dude I honestly feel like for |
11463s | a Duke and edgy they're like man y'all |
11465s | should have thrown Us in that in top of |
11467s | the show because we are a team that is |
11469s | showing up and showing out and I mean |
11471s | seriously a lot of the other teams like |
11473s | of course a favorite Acorn and Cole |
11475s | we've seen them show out as well but |
11477s | Duke and edgy have just this I don't |
11480s | know like they have this power inside of |
11481s | that they are just zooming through these |
11483s | games and they're making it happen and I |
11485s | really do believe you know people are |
11487s | going to start broad reviewing watching |
11489s | kind of trying to get technical and see |
11490s | what they're doing because it needs to |
11492s | be replicated they're hungry for it |
11494s | right that's why they're holding their |
11495s | number one spot but as we look down |
11497s | Aquin and cold I kind of want to focus |
11498s | in on them for a moment |
11500s | they are still like though there is a |
11503s | lead from duke and edgy it's not much |
11506s | right and with a single game if Duke |
11508s | Energy were to say fall early right |
11510s | Acorn and cold will go off they have |
11513s | done this in the past and so I'm very |
11515s | worried that like Acorn and cold are |
11517s | kind of like playing with their food and |
11518s | they're like yeah you guys are in first |
11520s | place and they're just waiting for that |
11521s | moment to strike yeah I can definitely |
11523s | see that obviously it could encoder an |
11525s | incredible player again shout outs to |
11527s | dignitas right now they have three out |
11529s | of the top four teams being represented |
11530s | so clearly they have a good job picking |
11532s | the right teams in to represent them but |
11534s | Acorn and cold I mean they they had |
11535s | first place in weeks one and three they |
11537s | are the reigning Champions so I don't |
11539s | think there's too much to say besides |
11540s | the obvious that they're some of the |
11542s | best for a reason but can they take down |
11543s | Duke and edgy that's the real question |
11545s | yeah again like you said it's really |
11547s | it's not that far in the standings to uh |
11550s | between first and second and I honestly |
11552s | think again like we have so many games |
11553s | tomorrow so much to look forward to yeah |
11556s | two Duos I do want to point out here |
11557s | before we flip on over to the top 20 |
11558s | first eighth place Muzz and djen moving |
11562s | up eight places but also castner and |
11564s | Clarity G Clarity G hits some disgusting |
11567s | shots to make this happen so shout outs |
11569s | to both of these duels now finding |
11571s | themselves in the top ten but let's take |
11572s | a look at the top 20. where are these |
11575s | other names that we're not seeing on |
11577s | this top 10 could they actually be |
11579s | finding themselves in that top 20 |
11581s | looking to try and fight for the top 10 |
11583s | people like trashy pump ianzo and Rise |
11586s | right two duels we highlighted the very |
11588s | beginning of the day but there's not |
11590s | finding themselves in that top 10 is it |
11592s | maybe that they're looking to fix |
11594s | whatever is in their way today and come |
11596s | in strong tomorrow yeah I think a lot of |
11598s | teams are having issues in the early |
11600s | game right now either they're getting |
11601s | eliminated right on drop and we've seen |
11603s | some top teams like not in agers getting |
11605s | a rough start to their drop uh and a lot |
11608s | of that obviously translates into mid |
11609s | and late game if you're having a bad |
11611s | early game then a lot of these players |
11612s | are also having issues with storm surge |
11614s | tags and that can just put a real wrench |
11615s | in your plans to make it into the end |
11617s | game but again like I think like we |
11619s | talked about like you could be a day two |
11621s | team and you really can just show out |
11623s | and show off in day two and maybe |
11625s | honestly even make up for some of the |
11628s | you know maybe you know not as great |
11631s | plays that happened in day one yeah it's |
11633s | never over until it's over right and six |
11635s | games doesn't sound like a lot Jenny but |
11638s | it is it is and I mean a lot of these |
11641s | Duos they're here for a reason right and |
11643s | they are hoping to find themselves at a |
11646s | good standing so we can prepare for |
11647s | tomorrow's games |
11649s | but it's that time the final game here |
11652s | in day number one I can't believe I |
11654s | blinked and suddenly we're here but it's |
11656s | fine we have one last ride today so |
11658s | let's see if the players can make it |
11660s | count |
11664s | six games of competition can be |
11667s | extremely taxing you have to strap down |
11670s | ready up and prepare yourself because if |
11673s | you want to take off on this battle bus |
11675s | and make it to the global championships |
11677s | you're gonna have to perform today and |
11678s | then again tomorrow yeah and where you |
11680s | end on the day it really does mean so |
11682s | much it kind of decides how you're able |
11685s | to play throughout the rest of the |
11686s | tournament and players really need to |
11688s | realize this is not a race this is a |
11692s | marathon so you can't get gassed out |
11695s | just on day number one and that's why |
11697s | you gotta look at some of these teams |
11699s | that are so well up on the leaderboard |
11700s | that are building themselves that much |
11702s | of a cushion so just in case things go |
11705s | wrong they can dust themselves up and |
11706s | pick themselves up Duke's edgy Acorn |
11709s | cold Pollo Sphinx buga threats break |
11712s | some chubs or top five of course the |
11715s | closest in seven fists Canada in agers |
11717s | they only slept one game last round for |
11719s | getting taken out and that's two rounds |
11721s | in a row this is an absolutely pivotal |
11723s | moment for Kanata that he has to win |
11725s | here yes he gets the refresh but the |
11727s | fire back here from Sprite and luck |
11729s | couldn't have been better for sprite |
11730s | right now as he finds not only a big pot |
11732s | but something else well but it's Bucky |
11734s | it's oh kiss the disrupters we called |
11736s | them that coming in again messing things |
11739s | up putting their input on the situation |
11742s | and just completely tossing the dream |
11745s | out the window agers and Canada's day |
11747s | one is over they fall in seventh place |
11751s | loading into game seven and you have to |
11753s | assume they're gonna slip a little more |
11754s | they already if they're watching the |
11756s | feed they might have already saw giants |
11758s | go down they know that's why they're |
11760s | closing the distance they know a player |
11761s | is there as a solo but another team has |
11763s | the same thing in mind Lucky you get a |
11765s | little bit ahead of himself gets the |
11766s | shot that matters most to keep himself |
11768s | alive but I talked about another team |
11771s | has just joined the racetrack trying to |
11773s | steal away all the loot and take |
11774s | advantage but do they know it's Bucky |
11776s | and ocus but it's bolts and thoric they |
11779s | switch up their drop spots a few times |
11780s | throughout the day and said why not why |
11783s | not go to the racetrack we're seeing a |
11784s | couple other teams there let's join this |
11786s | party yeah I mean they're seeing what uh |
11788s | you know Sprite and Giants have been |
11789s | doing the big clash between the two |
11791s | little did they know Bucky and Company |
11793s | were here you know exercising they can't |
11797s | find their probably thinking of hey |
11798s | let's just get some kinetic plays let's |
11799s | slide on in there no sir it's not free |
11801s | by any means and the loot that they |
11803s | managed to pick up the work is actually |
11804s | uh pretty looted and booted right now |
11806s | inside that bush here combat shocking is |
11809s | one of the better weapons to open up at |
11810s | distance so thoric can for sure put some |
11812s | damage down to really kick things off |
11815s | let's see it since like a three two one |
11818s | type beat yeah coming out they just need |
11821s | him to step forward just a little bit |
11823s | longer oh kiss is gonna be the one |
11824s | leading the charge getting into the |
11826s | hands of bolts both of them hiding that |
11828s | fire first shot's gonna fire off there |
11830s | it goes damage gonna be traded ocus |
11833s | takes a bunch Shields getting dropped as |
11834s | well thork is getting The High Ground |
11836s | taken away by Bucky who's now firing |
11838s | shots onto bolts two different 1v1s |
11840s | going down that's where you see Oak has |
11842s | tried to create space for himself goes |
11844s | to layer up and immediately connects |
11846s | blades back to the same box as Bucky an |
11848s | excellent excellent play by Thor here |
11850s | keeping up the pressure not allowing |
11851s | ocus to heal for a free or comfortably |
11854s | in front of his teammate bolts there |
11856s | both gets tagged rotating to his Duo and |
11858s | there it is Bucky and okay sliding out |
11860s | can we just pause for a moment and |
11862s | actually give a huge huge just just hats |
11865s | off in credit to Bucky and ocus in |
11867s | particular they were in 33rd Place at |
11870s | some point and last game we were talking |
11872s | about you know what are they gonna do as |
11874s | these disruptors they've jumped up to |
11876s | top 15 mean how did they do it but they |
11879s | have they've managed to put themselves |
11881s | in this conversation somehow of a team |
11883s | to I don't know maybe have a great day |
11886s | too and be a top 10 top five and it just |
11888s | kind of leaves me wondering where are |
11890s | they even Landing to pick up anything |
11892s | they go for the kinetic blades but they |
11894s | figure out a way to get some sort of |
11896s | weapon as ocus actually did get dropped |
11898s | that's that's bad not the best thing is |
11900s | this offspawn fight we saw so many times |
11903s | paper is going to go down but at least |
11905s | he was able to take down chubs before he |
11907s | dropped and Shadow literally a sliver of |
11909s | HP and a dream quickly turned into a |
11914s | nightmare as Bryce takes him down even |
11916s | gets the reboot back on up you can see |
11918s | Clarity casters so many teams in the |
11920s | distance trying to go for some free |
11921s | search chuzz and Bryce looking to set a |
11923s | record as one of the teams few teams |
11926s | that has contested |
11930s | the best |
11933s | Possible having game after game entering |
11936s | into the sloppy inside the top five I |
11937s | don't think they've actually Fallen |
11938s | outside the top five it might might just |
11940s | be a record setting already five games |
11944s | and maintaining these top five positions |
11946s | very impressive this is all in all and |
11949s | if you look at their points right now 30 |
11950s | points away from second place |
11952s | this is doable in a single game if your |
11955s | opponents do go down the four points for |
11957s | elimination plus the placement points |
11959s | much harder to catch up for Duke and |
11961s | edges but again it is definitely |
11963s | possible if your competitors do go down |
11965s | much earlier than you'd hope to kind of |
11967s | close out the day hey maybe a four-way |
11970s | tie something like that I would like |
11971s | something like that simply for the |
11973s | entertainment's sake but I know |
11974s | everybody else |
11975s | kind of thinking different especially |
11977s | Duke and edgy they want to keep their |
11979s | massive lead intact let's not forget if |
11981s | Acorn and cold finish within that top |
11983s | three regardless of what that will open |
11985s | up a spot for a different Duo below so |
11988s | you really do have a chance right now |
11989s | Acorn and cold have already proven that |
11991s | hey even the best can fall at game one |
11993s | take down from them sets them off so for |
11996s | Aiden and Hound I mean the chances are |
11998s | here |
11999s | so you go ahead pop off two-day |
12001s | competition I'm off to play from Aiden |
12004s | right now really putting the pressure |
12005s | onto Chubbs this might be the first time |
12008s | we see chubs fall extremely early if |
12010s | price has to step on up but look Aiden's |
12013s | just a little bit sharper |
12014s | seems to just be hyper aware right now |
12017s | really in the zone this is scary and I'm |
12020s | at effort to nut cranny or crevice |
12022s | Aiden's gonna take a shot and try to |
12024s | make it go through price gets knocked |
12026s | taken down by pound and this is where |
12028s | you have to go ahead and push forward |
12029s | but Aiden yet again along with Hound |
12032s | they take down both Bryce and Chubbs and |
12034s | that hot streak you were talking about |
12036s | monster went right out the window to |
12038s | close out the day two teams inside the |
12040s | top five have now officially been |
12042s | crossed out Aegis Kanata Seventh Place |
12044s | gone Bryce Chubbs fifth place you |
12047s | watched it gone this is day one of North |
12050s | America's fncs what's on the line here |
12053s | everything because Global champion |
12057s | is of course one of the few things that |
12060s | you can be contending for |
12063s | some of those teams 57 the top seven |
12066s | down I'm looking at Muzz Degen fonte |
12068s | peterbot I'm looking at Clarity and |
12070s | casters even Pam's doing batch to make |
12072s | up for lost time this is an opportunity |
12075s | that was just granted with one of our |
12077s | top competitors going down so it's up to |
12079s | you to take control and try to close |
12080s | that Gap |
12082s | but for some closing a gap it's gonna be |
12084s | easier than others 31 points is going to |
12088s | be the difference between Acorn cold and |
12089s | Duke Energy perfect jump and timing |
12091s | right here boil in Sphinx we kept |
12094s | speaking about Mega city has so much to |
12096s | offer Mega city is a great drop spot why |
12099s | do we not see epic epic whale and |
12101s | re-performing from here well you know |
12103s | what maybe it's because only one team |
12104s | can be the kings of the mega City and |
12106s | right now today it's Pollo it's Finks |
12109s | they're in the top three they've been |
12110s | playing very well I mean they're they're |
12113s | escaping seemingly just fine they're |
12115s | finding just enough tags and you would |
12117s | think them being on the southern side |
12119s | the more passive side it'd be harder to |
12121s | be consistent but no they're doing just |
12123s | fine yeah especially in the beginning of |
12126s | the Season before Bogan threats actually |
12128s | got together Buko said hey I'm playing |
12130s | with Pollo this guy is underrated and |
12133s | I'm ready to take him to the Stars |
12134s | things might have switched up sometimes |
12136s | some fortnite things happen with so many |
12138s | superstars in one region as now it's |
12140s | gonna be boyo who's probably gonna get |
12143s | so many offers I think Sphinx needs to |
12144s | lock him down if they don't qualify to |
12146s | that Global Championship as and pen and |
12149s | polarized 108 points so far and you can |
12153s | kind of see they're used to fighting off |
12155s | spawn now that they're not necessarily |
12156s | congested contested over towards kujitsu |
12158s | Crossing they're forced to go elsewhere |
12160s | to find their surge in places that they |
12162s | might not be the most comfortable well |
12164s | this is what the fncs is all about right |
12165s | really platforming and giving players a |
12167s | chance to continue to make a name for |
12169s | themselves now that we have the entire |
12171s | merging of the North American region I |
12173s | mean now more than ever all eyes are on |
12175s | you pars uh uh boil like you said these |
12179s | are really their their time truly to |
12182s | have breakout performances I say this |
12184s | every year we always have a few in |
12186s | fortnite that just have their time and |
12189s | they break out and they just take off |
12190s | cold was the the latest for North |
12193s | America I would say Vino for EU in |
12196s | recent times right we always have these |
12197s | big breakout names |
12199s | say it couldn't be boil he's got the |
12201s | name he's got them he's got the style |
12203s | he's got the gameplay right now I'm |
12204s | liking it yep definitely building |
12206s | himself a reputation if he didn't |
12208s | already have one from these combined |
12210s | regions you see the Vault do intact |
12214s | epic will and reap trying to save as |
12216s | much of the heels as possible but with |
12218s | the shield keg going down they know they |
12220s | want to begin to trade shots storm surge |
12222s | hasn't been their friend so far |
12224s | throughout the last couple of games so |
12226s | they need to figure out a way to manage |
12227s | it before the day is over let's take a |
12229s | look at Muzz and DJ right now who seems |
12231s | to be under pressure but there's a Duo |
12233s | fighting in front of them it's rise in |
12235s | the amso yeah that's not an easy battle |
12237s | by any means to pick a fair fight with |
12239s | so things are going to settle down for |
12241s | now yeah they're recognizing the |
12243s | problems and the dangers that are here |
12244s | they move first |
12248s | wow |
12250s | huge amount of shots |
12252s | taking down Muzz and his Shields |
12254s | and I talked about polarizing and Pen |
12256s | having to go elsewhere to find their |
12258s | searches they're no longer contested |
12259s | towards Jiu Jitsu Crossing well Martha |
12262s | gets caught out user was taken down |
12264s | early on in the same game so the team |
12266s | run on the day has come to an end so now |
12268s | they can hit the five review very very |
12269s | early |
12270s | yeah what a best time to catch up right |
12273s | now than with Vivid who's been keeping a |
12274s | close eye on threats |
12277s | been keeping an eye on the top three as |
12279s | well let's make sure Dorian our last |
12280s | game of the day that all of our top |
12282s | teams are doing well the biggest change |
12284s | for me is gonna be that dukes and edgy |
12286s | have not gotten that early elimination |
12287s | the two early eliminations that they are |
12290s | so used to getting so I have to make |
12291s | sure they get some storm surge in acorn |
12294s | and cold also looking very very healthy |
12296s | making sure that they have enough |
12297s | materials to lead themselves into the Ed |
12299s | game and of course our third place team |
12301s | as well Polo and spank set up towards |
12304s | Mega city which is a great storm surge |
12306s | position for them make sure we keep a |
12309s | close eye on all of these top three |
12311s | teams as we head into the late game of |
12313s | game number six |
12316s | great job breaking that one down giving |
12318s | us a lay of the land of our top three |
12320s | teams the biggest question mark though |
12322s | is that Duke and edgy off spawn that |
12325s | they didn't get to fight this time |
12327s | around they've had such consistent |
12329s | performances throughout the day and that |
12331s | could be the roadblock in their journey |
12333s | of having to go and find that surge |
12336s | elsewhere like some of our teams who are |
12338s | forced to kind of switch up their spots |
12339s | yeah we're gonna have to see how it |
12341s | mixes up and also you know what just do |
12342s | me a favor fortnite fam is it Polo or is |
12344s | it oil you know I'm throwing this up I |
12346s | wanna I wanna give this man the most the |
12348s | utmost credits and respect everybody hit |
12349s | me up on any of the socials the |
12351s | timelines that monster defense like just |
12353s | let me know all right Team Fusion where |
12355s | are we at what we got here but let's |
12357s | jump in with Clarity Jeep Casper things |
12359s | are starting to heat up Clarity G |
12360s | already set the single game elim record |
12362s | for uh day one there with eight |
12364s | eliminations in game five that was the |
12366s | last one we just watched they absolutely |
12367s | popped off they went from outside the |
12369s | bubble into the conversation and now |
12371s | Clarity G and Casper just showing us how |
12373s | experienced they are and the type of |
12375s | numbers they can put up and we know |
12377s | every time we've talked about this is a |
12379s | team that Vivid I mean vivid's worked |
12380s | alongside Clarity for years right loves |
12382s | this dude good friends with the homies |
12384s | it's like this is what we love to see |
12385s | that's popping up showing up yeah and it |
12387s | goes to show that it's not always |
12388s | necessarily how you start on the day |
12390s | it's how you finish and that's why I |
12392s | look at a lot of these teams that have |
12393s | been around for a long time to have that |
12396s | experience to not get antsy not to get |
12398s | down on yourself so as important as it |
12400s | is to have the mechanical prowess in |
12402s | fortnite you need to have the mental |
12404s | toughness to stay strong when things |
12406s | don't go your way as Nick and Nick are |
12407s | gonna be one of the first teams to try |
12409s | to claim the top of that Rift Island but |
12411s | the shots are coming in they're trying |
12413s | to bring them down to size when you want |
12414s | to do something and put something big up |
12416s | I mean this is the way to do it you |
12418s | fight for |
12419s | pulse rifles he already has you know |
12422s | what looks to be a volt Loadout like he |
12425s | is |
12426s | suited and killing it right now look at |
12428s | this figs up top finds himself another |
12431s | elimination off to crisp well played |
12435s | a lot of the teams are going to have to |
12436s | leave that Mega City but the challenge |
12438s | is there big plays hello that's a huge |
12440s | amount of damage that reap just took |
12442s | luckily for him they did get that ball |
12443s | so it's only going to take a few seconds |
12445s | with that legendary juice to get him |
12447s | back up to shape is Nick Nix trying to |
12449s | solidify it but it is going to be |
12450s | contested the team that's trying to make |
12452s | up for lost time do a little bit better |
12454s | when it comes to their storm surge this |
12456s | could be the moment shift right now if |
12457s | they're able to win this fight against |
12459s | Nick and Nick's obviously they get |
12460s | granted that storm surge but they also |
12462s | get the overclocked pulse rifle |
12464s | something that they could terrorize the |
12465s | lobby with with the amount of elevation |
12467s | that they have |
12468s | set out to sea you hope to catch those |
12470s | Tailwinds and for epic whale and reap |
12473s | they don't need win they turn on the |
12474s | engine they're putting technology to use |
12476s | they're getting in they're going in the |
12478s | direction that they want to and that's |
12480s | straight on up what an excellent shot |
12483s | for epic whale there's anything he could |
12484s | walk away with in day one here it's |
12486s | probably that big shot right there |
12489s | you talk about it he's a late game |
12491s | performer he turns up in the end when |
12493s | the pressure is on and |
12495s | the feeling has to be there |
12498s | maybe he's warmed up maybe he's fired up |
12500s | maybe it's too late for this day one but |
12502s | we do have a grand finals to close out |
12504s | for day two six more games tomorrow same |
12506s | time same place right here all the |
12508s | action |
12510s | before I speak about that mental |
12511s | toughness you can't count yourself out |
12513s | just because you didn't have performance |
12515s | that you hope for on day number one |
12517s | because there's six more games on the |
12519s | day tomorrow but we'll Crown our fncs |
12522s | major two Champion where we'll find out |
12524s | which three teams from North America |
12525s | will get that spot in the global |
12528s | championship and one of them could be |
12529s | Parson Baka with how they have been |
12531s | performing throughout the day very |
12533s | prestigious opportunities here to make |
12536s | your way straight to the global |
12537s | championships Sphinx and oh yeah of |
12540s | course one of the few that big a little |
12542s | fresh out of Mega City the only Duo to |
12545s | place in the top 10 in every game today |
12547s | showcasing just how dangerous they |
12550s | really are out here |
12553s | surprisingly out of nowhere as well we |
12554s | kept talking about the caliber of the |
12556s | lobby how much more difficult it is to |
12559s | play on the North American region now |
12563s | just trying to get that extra loop I |
12565s | already see what augments they're |
12566s | choosing and kind of lay down the |
12569s | blueprint which they hope to find |
12571s | success here on the day death in tahi |
12574s | every single game so far at least the |
12576s | majority they're able to claim the loot |
12578s | from that shattered slabs vault which is |
12580s | the Mythic havoc in a lot of different |
12582s | variations of heels |
12584s | it's just hasn't necessarily been the |
12588s | most fun time of being able to execute |
12589s | on a lot of these different plays but |
12591s | there's still more than enough time we |
12592s | talk about it's a two-day affair |
12595s | see it though they're just looking |
12596s | around pampson Factor also in the |
12598s | conversation of a top ten don't put them |
12599s | out just yet this game goes well for |
12602s | them there will be very much in the race |
12604s | for of course closing out a global |
12606s | championships position potentially even |
12608s | the fncs title itself here for the first |
12611s | time for that duo DJ and Muzz now |
12614s | looking to set themselves up we get a |
12615s | wide shot of the map Another Western |
12617s | pool here or Eastern pool all the way |
12621s | tons of players on that Southwest side |
12623s | still even more so by the rift Island |
12626s | that popped up you would think they |
12627s | would have been gone already after |
12628s | securing that look but no to come the |
12631s | housing location for a ton in Degen |
12633s | taking advantage of just that |
12637s | know which team was kind of rotating but |
12639s | you can kind of see a plan of going so |
12642s | far into the Zone but going towards the |
12644s | north almost nobody's on that |
12646s | Northeastern portion of the zone so |
12648s | they're trying to go for at least |
12649s | congested side as duke and edgy feel |
12651s | like they're under a little bit of |
12652s | pressure |
12653s | they have to look for HP somewhere |
12655s | because they're only 182 above the |
12657s | damage threshold so seeing the |
12659s | implications of the start of their game |
12660s | not having that off-spawn fight not |
12662s | getting those early two eliminations |
12664s | have done something to them it's forced |
12666s | them to kind of hunt around for surge in |
12668s | which they weren't necessarily forced to |
12670s | do in the last couple games on the day |
12672s | and then you combine that with the |
12673s | factory they've just got a monster of a |
12675s | pull on this next Zone well this is the |
12678s | halfway point of game number six of 12 |
12682s | here but the last one we will be |
12684s | commentating and talking about today |
12686s | after this all players will get to hit |
12688s | the drawing board really figure out what |
12690s | went right what can we do maybe a little |
12693s | bit better really refine the details as |
12696s | they start gearing up for day two we |
12699s | jump in for the first time with dom and |
12700s | G money here they get a chance |
12702s | let's go ahead and show us what they got |
12703s | one of the first to rotate to the Zone |
12705s | it starts to pull back to where the bulk |
12707s | of the player as well as it's gonna come |
12708s | as it I think a great surprise for most |
12713s | this is where if you're one of those |
12714s | teams that are Center zone right now |
12716s | you're forced with a decision do I |
12718s | rotate to the Western Edge where in |
12720s | theory no teams are at or I try to hold |
12722s | my position build that tower that so |
12724s | many other teams are doing and just try |
12726s | to hold teams pressure teams in terms of |
12729s | storm surge even if you're well above |
12730s | it's just trying to make their job that |
12732s | much harder |
12733s | parse is almost like so down right now |
12736s | you can see the fishing rod in his |
12737s | inventory you got to imagine what sort |
12739s | of strategies you could think through |
12741s | with that because imagine you see a pile |
12742s | of loot you kind of just go fishing for |
12744s | it that is right |
12746s | Booga down south |
12748s | has to make a move here to get himself |
12749s | to new Zone waiting for teams to make |
12752s | the move first you see the edits out |
12753s | those old bases giving him enough detail |
12759s | taking his time ever so slowly not |
12762s | looking to use the metal there the saw |
12764s | he's already depleted all the way |
12765s | through his wood resources and now he's |
12768s | down to the heavy Maps it's going to |
12770s | become an uphill battle for him from |
12771s | here on out let's jump on into some |
12773s | fights though bacon and Batman Booga |
12774s | have been situated here for quite some |
12776s | time that time is really starting to |
12778s | show itself to us there are 375 below |
12781s | they have to get in in battle but so do |
12783s | the majority of the lobby and you can |
12785s | see this is what it's going to be very |
12787s | difficult as everyone is going to be |
12789s | facing the same exact pressures |
12792s | Chaos on the field here |
12795s | he just catches bolts out but goes for a |
12798s | slash with a kinetic blade it cost him |
12800s | everything Bacon's gonna get dropped |
12802s | luckily for Batman fuga he's one of the |
12804s | most prolific solo players on that |
12806s | former n a west region especially |
12808s | combine that with the Mythic Havoc pump |
12810s | one shot potential through the roof and |
12812s | he needs to put it to use down 61 below |
12814s | the damage threshold storm surge take it |
12816s | in Sheila's gonna get tracked Shaw's |
12818s | gonna be fired straight through now |
12819s | Batman boo goes on the back foot while |
12821s | still needing to maintain some position |
12823s | to find storm surge but luckily for him |
12824s | he does find a shield keg near Vibe but |
12827s | that is epic well in Reed for putting |
12829s | down the pressure but a fight back is |
12831s | coming through that ball two answers the |
12833s | phrase tries to go back to back Thorp |
12835s | gets knocked everybody just in so much |
12838s | chaos right now in close proximity |
12840s | that's the pulse rifle melting through |
12842s | it down goes bolts as well the former |
12844s | Nas Champions get set back to the lobby |
12846s | did I just say one word 207 that was |
12849s | crazy |
12851s | big hits here from wreath I should have |
12854s | said one number but you get the Vibes |
12856s | here reads fighting back keeping the |
12858s | tournament run alive and you're just |
12860s | really seeing the power of the rift |
12863s | Island the legendary |
12865s | loadouts here actually the mythical take |
12867s | that A Step Above I'm lying it's not |
12869s | even it's literally Mythic |
12871s | Cut Above the Rest |
12873s | but all right Zone's starting to swing |
12875s | its way back here 22 seconds it does not |
12878s | stop it oh continue to move three is |
12880s | just on fire right now find yourself |
12882s | another follow-up excellent job for him |
12884s | and he clears out the house |
12888s | so the impact points |
12889s | are really important for a team like |
12891s | epic well and reach kind of close out |
12893s | the day |
12895s | similar could be said for edgy even |
12897s | though they have that comfortable spot |
12899s | position in first place on the |
12901s | leaderboard |
12902s | you just want to build yourself that |
12903s | much more of a cushion going into day |
12905s | number two with six more games joining a |
12907s | couple of other teams trying to focus |
12908s | somebody towards the backside of Zone |
12910s | that's Clarity and casters who are under |
12911s | pressure as edgy has a different type of |
12914s | pressure even though it's not damaged |
12915s | it's storm surge even though he's 16 |
12916s | above he knows that it's absolutely not |
12919s | enough to feel comfortable at this stage |
12921s | of the game no not at all he's by |
12923s | himself this is a tough spot to be in |
12925s | when you're leading the competition |
12927s | right now |
12928s | when you have a chance right now to |
12930s | really really race away for day two it |
12933s | could just slip away these are those |
12934s | games that we talk about just one game |
12936s | and all of a sudden everyone's right |
12938s | back on top of you like you didn't have |
12940s | a just comfortable lead moment to go |
12943s | 55 above the surge now |
12946s | scratch that this is probably going to |
12948s | change soon here comes the rotate tries |
12950s | to go when he sees others on the move |
12952s | there it's a well-timed one take notes |
12956s | and this is where placement points are |
12958s | barely beginning to set in he's called |
12959s | so much action those were just |
12961s | elimination points being granted around |
12963s | the lobby |
12964s | so now is not the time to go down for |
12966s | all the efforts we spent up until this |
12968s | point especially resources that you |
12969s | might have expended as well you see Reed |
12971s | on into the distance after solo trying |
12973s | to put pressure all around the lobby you |
12976s | see so many teams forced to really think |
12977s | outside of the box including Sphinx |
12979s | who's one of the teams in our top three |
12981s | now forced to try to maintain his |
12983s | position just like so many of other |
12984s | players as a solo also below the surge |
12987s | just barely though great tax right there |
12989s | that is huge and I think he cooked them |
12991s | all the way down no because he had a |
12993s | little bit of furthermore of HP hide and |
12995s | seek there manages to get away with his |
12997s | life for a moment |
12999s | in the feed caskern Clarity fall after a |
13002s | great performance Just moment to go but |
13003s | that's okay they did still manage to put |
13006s | up quite some numbers there that's going |
13008s | to lock them into top 10 other teams now |
13010s | have a chance to go ahead and surpass |
13012s | them |
13013s | so a big opportunity lost there Buddha |
13015s | seven HP what is happening top five |
13017s | teams threats edgy a lot of these teams |
13021s | going down because of storm surge and |
13023s | that's where you saw blue gun threats |
13025s | get separated threats try to go in pick |
13027s | up any amount of damage that he can left |
13029s | Booth is getting ticked by tick by tick |
13031s | which left him in such a bad spot HP |
13033s | wise which is why he was easy target to |
13036s | take out of the sky as bylaw knifer have |
13038s | their position in the clouds but only |
13040s | 108 above the damage threshold right now |
13043s | the amount of pressure is so important |
13045s | for them so that way they don't have to |
13046s | fall down and look for that storm surge |
13048s | that's right with every team we've tuned |
13049s | into inside the top five has already |
13051s | either been taken out or extremely |
13053s | damaged Acorn cold being the only other |
13055s | one that we need that checkup on edgy |
13057s | Duke though in pressure on serious time |
13060s | right now edgy has to run nope he gets |
13062s | off his ball and again just before other |
13064s | big placement that's with uh 21st Is Not |
13067s | Great Sphinx though it's changing it up |
13069s | right now he's gonna find himself a |
13070s | great tag that's gonna eliminate a team |
13072s | he's inside the top 20. he's now really |
13074s | going to start to earn big if he can |
13076s | stay alive yeah the chunk of those |
13077s | points are in the top 10 for anybody |
13080s | looking to claim them as their own his |
13081s | knife for him bylaws trying to stay |
13083s | above everybody else Peter fonsi look to |
13085s | survey the field they're trying to go a |
13087s | layer above ultimate low ground is not |
13089s | where you want to be especially with his |
13091s | own going over brutal Bastion the |
13093s | different elevations that were here and |
13094s | going to face as yamso is already facing |
13097s | some adversity of his own 214 above the |
13099s | damage threshold storm surge isn't a |
13100s | worry it's being a solo trying to look |
13103s | back side of Zone cat anybody slipping |
13105s | Acorn looks to be a solo as well on the |
13107s | ultimate low Sphinx one of our solos |
13109s | inside the top three down now as well |
13111s | Acorn has a chance here to start |
13113s | breaking away as Sphinx has fallen so it |
13115s | truly has opened up completely here but |
13118s | no cold is actually there to back him up |
13120s | too I saw dejin and Muzz there as well |
13122s | this is really a chance now for the |
13124s | teams in the top 10 to take advantage of |
13127s | all of the Fallen few who were up at the |
13129s | top yamzo included and take note of the |
13131s | missing Munitions the second a pistol |
13133s | but they just picked up over on the |
13135s | other side yamzo is trying not to go to |
13137s | that ultimate low ground but doesn't |
13138s | have a ton of build to continue to build |
13140s | himself up if these get knocked down |
13142s | he's Bob that duo on the other side he |
13144s | wants nothing of it quickly rotates to |
13146s | the front side of the zone to try to get |
13148s | any reform that he can to give him some |
13150s | something to work with the cold gets |
13152s | dropped into a box he gets taken out |
13154s | acorns left by himself but they have yet |
13156s | to overtake first it's not a huge game |
13158s | it shouldn't be enough to definitely |
13159s | close that 20-point Gap though right so |
13161s | we're gonna have an extremely close |
13163s | Grand finals as we start edging our way |
13166s | into day two for the rest and the |
13167s | remaining of the games remember what's |
13169s | on the line is global championships for |
13171s | some eight credit card have already done |
13173s | that they're just playing upset here for |
13175s | other players Acorn showing us why he is |
13178s | one of the best you saw it in the |
13180s | interviews you see it on the timeline |
13181s | let's jump in with mazdo muss and DJ in |
13184s | here fighting for a top five spot they |
13186s | already won the first game on the day |
13187s | they're looking to repeat it Acorn finds |
13189s | another huge elimination but they're |
13191s | stealing away his loot he's not able to |
13193s | get anything for the amount of effort |
13195s | that he's putting in at this stage |
13196s | except for those three eliminations and |
13198s | try to keep themselves ahead but the Run |
13200s | comes to an end a huge find is marrow |
13203s | and Cooper are trying to make up for |
13204s | lost time 210.6 eliminations if they get |
13208s | this VR they get burst up the |
13209s | leaderboards they definitely have a |
13211s | chance to quantity is fighting for it as |
13213s | well this is at least most recent pickup |
13215s | show us what you got son you are now out |
13218s | of material on the low ground players in |
13219s | front of them it's pars he's dangerous |
13221s | great low ground tax he plays the right |
13223s | camera Peak wow excellent job right |
13225s | there showing us exactly what he's made |
13228s | of Cooper Miro though things are gonna |
13230s | start to settle we're inside the top |
13232s | five they're one of the few Duos that |
13233s | are still standing yeah there's three |
13235s | Toto solos left in the game Reit being |
13237s | one of them high ground's gonna be owned |
13239s | by braids and limit they found Reed they |
13241s | know he's a solo trying to take |
13242s | advantage as he continues to fight back |
13244s | the amount of damage that reach has done |
13246s | could be the end braids gets dropped |
13248s | into the hands Cooper and Miro are |
13249s | trying to do what they can and you get a |
13251s | legendary slurp juice and Amendment they |
13253s | could in theory win heal off of nobody |
13255s | else has heels Meryl's fighting back |
13256s | looking for any chance he's trying to |
13258s | get these points remember they're worth |
13260s | a lot visuals gets caught out and just |
13262s | like that game six is indeed rats Miro |
13267s | and Cooper have now crossed that finish |
13270s | line for the first time today and we've |
13272s | seen it before |
13273s | he's been at the Pinnacle of the stadium |
13276s | before well played the only this makes |
13279s | me ask is he retired is he not retired |
13281s | because he's still at the top of his |
13283s | game he's still one of those competitors |
13285s | that you have to watch out for and you |
13287s | match him with Cooper who is former |
13289s | teammates would seek a couple seasons |
13291s | ago and he is lighting up that |
13293s | leaderboard they're finding eliminations |
13295s | left right and center and already at |
13297s | this stage of the game they have nine |
13299s | eliminations and they broke that double |
13301s | digit Mark and he's giving credits to |
13304s | The Young mustache as well so you really |
13305s | see how much he respects of course these |
13308s | other reasons but Miro man I'm happily |
13310s | got to see it from this perspective just |
13312s | take a look here in the end he puts the |
13314s | damage needed down to get the conversion |
13316s | onto visuals and just like that game six |
13319s | will conclude and roll on over to Miro |
13322s | and Cooper to get a big game way to put |
13324s | them back into the conversation yeah but |
13326s | throughout the course of that game we |
13327s | saw some of our top competitors go down |
13329s | before the chunk of those placement |
13331s | points have set in so even though Meryl |
13333s | Cooper picked up a huge Victory Royale |
13335s | and a huge amount of points nobody knows |
13337s | what the leaderboard looks like and |
13338s | there's only three people I trust to let |
13340s | us know Zeke Kelly Jenny take it away |
13344s | big shout outs to monster deface and |
13346s | Jacob PR for casting these first six |
13348s | matches of grand finals here in North |
13351s | America my oh my N A has really stepped |
13354s | up they want to play this was the story |
13357s | of the top five going down Jenny I mean |
13361s | 19 he lives 265 points this is crazy |
13366s | Miro and Cooper came and showed up today |
13370s | I mean Kelly it's just wild their |
13373s | performance I mean we know Miro as the |
13376s | champion from n a and to see him do it |
13378s | again with Cooper who absolutely blew |
13381s | out a lot of the competition six |
13382s | eliminations for both of those players |
13384s | there meaning 12 eliminations total in |
13386s | just a single game it was absolutely |
13388s | incredible Cooper I really love the fact |
13390s | that he was using the twin mad SMG I |
13392s | feel like a lot of players forget that |
13393s | that gun exists so obviously you're |
13395s | gonna want the red eye for those long |
13396s | range shots and then you have the Havoc |
13397s | pump which is an incredible face-to-face |
13399s | 50 50 weapon to use but the twin mag SMG |
13403s | does incredible amounts damage in fact |
13405s | it has a higher DPS than the pulse rifle |
13407s | itself so I love the fact that we saw |
13409s | him using I think we actually saw a few |
13411s | other players using it as well in the |
13412s | end game yeah it feels like maybe more |
13414s | players are looking to utilize the |
13416s | augments that will give you that pistol |
13418s | in the inventory right Mythic Munitions |
13420s | being one of them as well but we got to |
13422s | take a look at the standings we got to |
13424s | find out how things are going remember |
13427s | these are just the first six matches |
13428s | tomorrow will be back for the last six |
13430s | but look at your top three they refuse |
13434s | to move they've decided we will hold |
13437s | down these spots and we will not let |
13438s | anybody tell us otherwise Duke edgy |
13442s | right now but |
13444s | as I kind of talked about going into |
13446s | this game Acorn and cold they're waiting |
13448s | for that opportunity to strike and this |
13450s | was that opportunity for them now only |
13453s | behind a single point Kelly at one point |
13456s | difference between first and second |
13457s | place going into day number two is |
13459s | absolutely wild but I I think even more |
13462s | so what we're looking at the leaderboard |
13463s | right here what it showcases because we |
13465s | saw Duke and edgy they didn't get those |
13467s | early eliminations just like Vivid was |
13469s | telling us and that kind of had a |
13470s | rougher situation for them towards the |
13472s | mid and late game but even with dukes |
13475s | being down here by zone eight that still |
13478s | didn't put too much of a downside onto |
13480s | edgy's play right here and they're still |
13482s | able to hold into that first place spot |
13484s | even though they went down what in 22nd |
13487s | there and they're still able to hold |
13488s | first I mean that is why you want the |
13490s | consistency that's why you want to be |
13492s | able to play a lot of these teams are |
13494s | kind of hot and cold they'll get a high |
13495s | a point game in the low point game but |
13497s | that's showcasing why consistency is so |
13499s | important because when you do go down |
13501s | early like what we just saw from Dukes |
13502s | and edgy they're still able to hold |
13504s | first place spot none of us predicted |
13506s | this and I kind of love that they |
13508s | switched it up on us and honestly going |
13510s | into day two we had a lot of like you |
13512s | know the our top teams go down early on |
13515s | so AKA room for a lot of these uh teams |
13518s | to move up in the ring so we'll see if |
13521s | that continues to happen uh into the |
13523s | games tomorrow yeah for sure Acorn and |
13525s | cold another Duo remember they looking |
13527s | they look for that opportunity to strike |
13528s | and this was that game utilizing |
13531s | literally every little thing they |
13532s | thought look |
13533s | with Duke with edgy gone we just have to |
13536s | do everything we can now unfortunately |
13538s | this game they were in shambles they |
13540s | didn't really have much to work with but |
13543s | they did what they needed to do and it |
13544s | was to close that Gap and I love what |
13547s | acorn's doing here you can see that he's |
13548s | staying just on the edge of the back |
13550s | side of Zone because when players are |
13551s | doing a good job in the low ground |
13553s | they'll try and stay ahead of the zone |
13554s | so they can kind of get a bit more of |
13556s | visibility where everyone else is but if |
13558s | you're a solo player you don't have |
13559s | heels just like that player was Acorn |
13561s | you want to stay all the way in the back |
13563s | yes it is a little bit risky because |
13565s | you're potentially taking some storm |
13567s | damage especially when people build |
13568s | around you but it is a safer play than |
13571s | staying at the front of Zone an acorn |
13573s | and Cole this Duo is a low ground Duo |
13575s | they are very comfortable there so if |
13577s | one ends up being a solo they're |
13579s | comfortable finishing that out and again |
13581s | you can just see Acorn getting |
13582s | eliminations being that solo the |
13584s | reaction time of acorn Silva is when I |
13587s | watch back Clips I'm like |
13590s | I love I love the performance we see |
13592s | from today yeah and I do really quickly |
13594s | want to highlight the the team here in |
13596s | fifth remember Cooper mustache armiro |
13598s | excuse me they just got that Victory out |
13600s | with 12 eliminations and again that's |
13601s | because your top five had fallen in that |
13604s | game that's what this Lobby is looking |
13605s | to do hey the top sharks in the water |
13608s | they are no longer part of this Lobby we |
13610s | need to act we need to act now take a |
13612s | look nine placements now looking to |
13614s | strike top five if tomorrow they could |
13617s | find themselves in that top three |
13619s | because of that one game |
13621s | they're gonna be feeling real good and |
13623s | we obviously are looking towards the top |
13624s | three those are the three teams that are |
13625s | going to automatically make their way |
13627s | into the international company |
13631s | see right now first and second plays are |
13633s | pretty much far ahead of the pack after |
13635s | day number one but from third all the |
13638s | way down to Ninth Place it is only a 40 |
13640s | Point difference there and that can |
13641s | easily be made up in a single game and |
13643s | we've already seen top teams be dropped |
13645s | right from the early start so a lot of |
13648s | possibility going into day number two |
13649s | here for a lot of these teams to claim |
13651s | that third place spot yeah too and I |
13653s | think what's really interesting about |
13654s | going into day two in this circumstance |
13657s | is that you have teams that we've talked |
13659s | about are gonna perform really well but |
13661s | have they shown their top tier |
13663s | performance yet and I think that I I |
13666s | really do think that we're gonna see |
13667s | some of these teams step up to the play |
13669s | and make a show happen for us because |
13672s | you have to this is this is your chance |
13675s | to make it to Global championships and |
13676s | that's what everyone's Minds on it's |
13677s | like I have to make it to Global |
13679s | championships and they're gonna make it |
13681s | happen one way or another and we've seen |
13682s | it done in the past I believe it was |
13684s | chapter three we saw a team that was in |
13686s | ninth place after day number one and |
13688s | they were able to claim the first place |
13689s | spot after day number two now the point |
13691s | differentials was a little bit smaller |
13693s | than what we're seeing right now between |
13695s | first and Ninth Place but obviously a |
13697s | lot can happen in day number two and |
13699s | you've heard a lot of the casters and us |
13700s | talking about it some of these teams |
13702s | kind of on lock on day number two and |
13705s | especially being able to do VOD |
13706s | reviewing and Bot reviewing of day one |
13708s | which I know a lot of these teams are |
13710s | going to be doing it's going to be |
13711s | interesting to see how these teams are |
13713s | going to shake it up tomorrow they're |
13714s | not sleeping tonight they are hits mods |
13716s | they're setting it up and they're going |
13718s | to be prepared for tomorrow yeah I love |
13719s | that right just kind of taking a step |
13721s | back whatever happened we played out |
13722s | right we take a step back we've bought |
13725s | review say what do we need to short up |
13726s | for tomorrow then we just go execute on |
13728s | that right tomorrow we can very well see |
13730s | a completely different set of Duos |
13733s | though their names might be the same |
13734s | they've now studied up and they're ready |
13736s | to bring it now when are we back |
13737s | tomorrow of course let's take a look at |
13739s | our broadcast schedule you know we'll be |
13741s | back here tomorrow but I want to remind |
13743s | you don't forget EU is also happening as |
13746s | well and if you think that four out of |
13748s | six games going over to Cuisine Veno is |
13750s | not historic please make sure you make a |
13753s | little bit of time to watch EU but also |

13769s | of found myself looking forward to |
13770s | tomorrow |
13771s | and I'm telling you I feel like |
13772s | tomorrow's just gonna be |
13774s | even crazier we have a special situation |
13777s | unfolding right now for the first time |
13778s | in I don't know how many seasons that |
13780s | top three coming out of day one did not |
13782s | move like we have the same exact locked |
13784s | in place you saw the zero next to them |
13786s | there was no movement but the story did |
13788s | change in fact because they're all close |
13790s | or much closer than we've seen any uh |
13793s | any other point in the day today so we |
13795s | are gonna have a great uh Grand finals |
13797s | close out tomorrow Yeah tomorrow's gonna |
13798s | be bananas b-a-n-a-s so I'm gonna tell |
13800s | you that someone is going to be |
13802s | absolutely insane and honestly I Gotta |
13805s | Give a huge shout out to both Poyo uh |
13807s | Baca and pars you know a lot of people |
13809s | would count that western region out and |
13812s | they have showed up Temple absolutely |
13814s | what do you guys feel like tomorrow what |
13815s | is it that you're hoping to see out of |
13817s | the competition and of course the |
13818s | players I'm gonna kick things off uh I |
13820s | want to see Canadian agers see if they |
13822s | can turn things around uh Chubbs and |
13824s | Bryce had a big upset so our contested |
13826s | teams they've been winning like big |
13829s | moments after winning those drop spots |
13831s | for the teams that are fighting them not |
13832s | quite having the same conversions so |
13834s | either mix it up do something new bolts |
13837s | and thorax did that just now oh I want |
13839s | to see adjustments hopefully we can see |
13841s | it because we have a great top 10 right |
13843s | now I want to say duke and edgy like you |
13845s | talk about a team that wants to win the |
13847s | big one Duke has been trying season |
13850s | after season edgy second place how many |
13852s | times on multiple different regions I |
13855s | think this could be their season |
13856s | I said this multiple times today on this |
13858s | broadcast but I want threats to get an |
13861s | fncs championship title I really believe |
13864s | he can do it we've shown on the stats |
13866s | that he has what it takes he the |
13868s | performance that he's given today was |
13869s | incredible teamed up with Booga they can |
13872s | do it I don't want to see him step up |
13873s | tomorrow and when we're talking about or |
13875s | you were talking about naos team out of |
13876s | Polo and Spanx we got to see it just for |
13879s | a moment but re-unlocking in that final |
13881s | game of the day grabbing an incredible |
13883s | amount of eliminations as a solo player |
13886s | but I want to see that convert into the |
13888s | victory Royale |
