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
1391s radar to Duo that won three games back
1393s to back to back to end yesterday's Duo
1395s cash cup that's Baka and pars but I'm
1397s also just a fan of Na West yeah I'm
1399s gonna have to stick with Acorn and cold
1401s I am looking for a show I just want to
1404s see all of the goodness that you guys
1406s can do
1407s right now when it comes to me I'm just
1409s looking I'm looking ahead I'm looking
1411s towards international events I'm looking
1412s towards globals I want to see who kicks
1415s off you know these first six games going
1416s into the mar to actually finalize it to
1419s make sure that they can make it that
1420s High Caliber event
1422s really quickly do you guys have a Duo
1424s that to you stands out is that Acorn
1425s cold is that someone else I mean listen
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
1444s it is that time Acorn and cold are they
1446s the ones that's what we're here to find
1448s out but we are ready to go and we hope
1450s all of you are as well this is it one of
1453s the biggest moments for North America it
1457s happens right here and it starts with
1459s game number one
1464s well you heard it there first it starts
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
1474s for the World Championships if you
1475s believe that first four weeks of play
1477s three weeks into surge week with any bit
1480s of excitement well guess what stand up
1482s and get ready because this finals is
1484s going to be one to remember and thank
1486s God everybody at home that is underway
1489s game number one monster starts right now
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

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

13750s not historic please make sure you make a
13753s little bit of time to watch EU but also

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

13805s Give a huge shout out to both Poyo uh

13815s is it that you're hoping to see out of
13817s the competition and of course the

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

13841s it because we have a great top 10 right
13843s now I want to say duke and edgy like you

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

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

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
