I ain't rising, I just stand
Yeah, you want it all

That's all I wanna do
Don't stumble up
It's all a chance to drop
Chance to drop
Been bouncing back
Yeah, I'm bouncing back
I keep coming back, I'm back and going back, I'm coming back
It's just a mission, I do them in my sleep
No commission, I like a side quest, love a position
A physical possession, let me lose an attrition
Yeah, they talk, when we talk, what they say to me
I'm shooting at us, hitting each other with their hands
She was in, I'm building a wall, many times
Me and you and me, I'm at a space, out of pieces
Every game I'm making, please, please, please
Just like that, oh, just like that, oh, take it back, take it back.
Take a step, take a step cuz I've been back, oh, just like that.
If you can crank up back too fast, oh, just like that.
I see a glove and my future's tight, oh.
My power, it's lovely, it's pushy
And sometimes it's gone red
And watch me get rich, oh

Hello, it is day two of the FNCS Europe major one finals. There are 20 spots up for
Greg Paul Europe at the major one summit land finals in Düsseldorf. So make sure you keep
your eyes locked in because we're going to send some people to Germany today.
Levin and Mini Miner, please join me because I think we're very excited to see who makes
the cut level. Absolutely, I mean, we all want to be there at the
lab, right? If we could all teleport and time travel, whatever
you want to do, we'd like to do that. But with how fun yesterday
was to watch, I'm excited to see who steps up, who rises to the
occasion, who continues their dominance, who actually decides
that day one wasn't our best day. Let's show what we can do
here today. And then you might know, are you excited to see
if anyone self eliminates by fall damage today? That's the
only thing I'm watching for, actually. That's all I already
care about. But no, it's gonna be great. We have, we
We have a couple of different narratives today, which is different to what we've done for some
online majors previously. It's not just about the win. It's not just about qualifying to
globals as it was previously. There's almost more teams that are going to qualify through
to a land now. There's going to be 20 teams that qualify through. So it makes a lot more
narratives, a lot more storylines to follow today. And it makes it, I think, a lot
more interesting.
It's going to be incredibly interesting. And I think all of our heroes are waiting
to see the direction of the battle bus today and which way those zones are going
because if we have a look at what it looked like yesterday at 11 I think there are a few teams on
social media who weren't happy. Yeah well look I wanted to highlight the positions of some of our
top five players right or top five duels yeah Pablo and Chino obviously who saw London towards
the East, Sires and Scary who had a very surprisingly good day one landing a bit further south then
you have the likes of Thomas and Focus Mini who were in fifth and Sky and Skrull obviously our
our leading team on the day.
They are obviously landing at Battlewood Boulevard.
Now let's look at where the zones pull
because there was a lot of conversation online
about, hey, we're expecting Sky and Skrull to do good.
Hold on a minute, Pablo and Chino are maybe doing
a bit better than we all expected them to do.
I wonder why that is?
And you look at the zones and you start to think,
hmm, they had a bit of an easier day, you could argue.
Yeah, especially with this new surge one,
it makes it a lot easier to actually play your game
when the zone does pull right
you know, probably the
best way to do that is to
look at the video where you're
dropped boys in Pablo and
Chinas case that is exactly
true. You can see exactly where
they land just there at the
middle of those three, uh, those
three circles and it's it's
gonna make it a lot easier.
Right? Let's not discredit
what they've done. They did
an amazing job yesterday, but
it does make it a lot easier
and the one game they didn't
do so great was that game
three can see up there in the
top left of the screen. That
was there. Bad games, so it's
going to be interesting what
because they were a team that performed incredibly well and if you look at where they were dropping
and of course, Thomas and focus, they are so far away from where these zones call. So yes,
it was great for Chino and Pablo. Yes, it was great for size and scary, but I think it almost
makes it greater for Sky and Skrull almost amplifies their achievement. I mean,
you can't act like this isn't what we expected from Sky and Skrull. That was the one factor we
all said was to their, you know, positive. I mean, they are the consistent team no matter
what you put in front of them as far as zone positioning.
They always seem to find the right solution.
And I think that is a large part of why, yes,
they are our first place team.
And it's why I feel confident saying
I think they will continue to be our first place team with the rest of the game
today because now what happens if they do get a couple more zones, right?
Like what happens only they get their easy games, quote unquote.
I think these guys are in for another good day.
They were really spectacular yesterday.
Yeah, they really were.
They were clutching up as you as we have some solar clutches as well.
they played their consistent game and when I went back and watched a lot of their games
from yesterday in every single one of their games, they were staying so far back in the
storm. They were staying in storm sort of that fourth, fifth zone transition and in
every single game, they were just skipping all of that mid game. They weren't getting
involved in those mid game flies. They weren't losing damage critically in those mid game
flies as well. They were staying so far back in the storm. So if we're watching
them today, which I imagine we will be doing a lot, keep an eye out for them staying
inside of the storm. So I think that's a key element to their success.
the way they did have that
off game when it didn't
yesterday. Well, I mean, we
expect is a bit of a chaotic
day for them. I suppose they
didn't bring that yesterday
that you know the way that
they performed throughout the
major so far. It was a bit
rocky. They had some good
performances that show signs
of life and then it just
wasn't necessary that
consistent. But yesterday
they actually had the exact
same average placement as
Skynescrawl. I said it
yesterday. They almost played
a lot like a Skynescrawl
sort of match history and
like a sky and scroll sort of match history and it was very impressive but I think it's sort of the
sort of thing that we can expect from this team 11 but as Frankie greatly said when they didn't get
the zone that probably is going to be their problem today if they don't get zoned again.
Yeah definitely could be something to worry about for them but I think you know what feels
me with confidence is what it is showcase when they made it to endgame yesterday was that these
guys have the power needed to find success. I've argued I'd want to see a bit more from them
right? You know, they both had, they had the same exact average placement than Sky and Skrull had,
but they actually were averaging lesser limbs, which I think most people maybe wouldn't expect
out of those two, right? You almost expect these guys to have a bit more firepower, a bit more
aggressive in those moments to get more limbs. So hopefully they can show us that side of their
game today. Well, Levin, now you've mentioned aggression. It's made me think of Sires and
Scary because similar to Pablo and Tina, right? They actually had some great zones. They
land at Swift Shard, but they were putting up a fantastic fight as well.
I think these guys are the perfect example of like, you know, a team who, yes, does get lucky,
but really strads at the opportunity. I mean, there were so many situations where like,
these guys were put in positions where you could go, yeah, they got a good son here and there,
you know, they got a nice pullback and one of the half and half zones,
but then they would just fight people and be aggressive and they weren't playing scared.
They weren't playing like a team who maybe doesn't have brand experience or doesn't have much experience for themselves.
They were just playing the day of their lives.
Yeah, it's right. And I think, you know, we obviously say, yeah, they got great zones yesterday.
They got really lucky, I guess you could say in that regard.
But it's almost very easy to say that that was the reason for their success.
But they also had to take that advantage.
They had to take the opportunity that was given to them in those zones.
And we often see teams that maybe are a little bit further down, less experienced in this situation,
not taking advantage of those situations.
but they played really, really well yesterday.
They had the most amount of eliminations.
They had the most amount of damage dealt as well yesterday.
So a team that's on fire right now.
Another team that we're expecting to hopefully do well today,
potentially come top two, is Thomas and Focus, Mini Miner.
And they are landing on the west side of the map, Riptides.
And they had a solid performance yesterday,
but I think we can see more from them.
Oh, we can definitely see more from them.
I think they, you know, of course, got very unlucky with the zone.
They didn't get a single one.
They almost have the worst day possible when it came to zones.
They actually had the furthest this has traveled out of all of our teams yesterday.
And they also took the most storm damage.
So I think that sort of just paints the picture of how their day went.
But they still managed to find success level, which is absolutely key.
But I don't think they were too happy about those zones yesterday.
No, they weren't.
And actually, he had a shot to boot because Thomas was in boots
chat after the six games.
And he literally said, if I got the zones that Padla and Chino had,
we're winning FNCS tomorrow.
Like, just give us a zone.
So I am hoping that they do get some zones, you know, I know Zeke on over on NA.
He actually controls all the zones in for that if you guys didn't know that.
So hopefully Zeke can give Thomas some favorable zones today
and we can see if he can back his words.
Yeah, he should be sending ads should all the pro players be sending
lovely words to Zeke as they head to the lobby.
Let's chat, though, about the changes to net search or strong search.
It's become that search, I should say, for the season.
it's clearly made an impact on all the players in the lobby. Some are coping better than others.
And MiniMiner, can you talk to us actually about some of the changes that we've seen?
Yes, for those that don't know, the way the Storm search you saw for it was a total amount of
damage that you dealt. It didn't take into account the amount of damage that you've taken.
Now this was the numbers from the 2025 Global Championships and this was the damage ratio
from of course our top five finish at those Global Championships. And you can see the
you know, they had a lot of
teams in this top five.
Majority of them had that
positive damage ratio, but I
want you to remember that
first place team 1.31 damage
ratio quite low when you compare
it to what's coming up.
What did happen, I should say
yesterday in this season.
Yeah, I mean, you look at the
damage ratios here and there's
much more of an importance on
actually having a positive
damage ratio.
It's not possible to have,
you know, players or teams
who have negative damage ratios
and are finding success, right?
It just goes against the
nature of how the mechanic
And I think, again, you've seen a direct translation of just Sky and Scroll.
The team we've been saying has been the best, most consistent team.
They are the best when it comes to keeping their damage ratio higher, right?
They don't take much damage, but they're able to get damage off another player's very, very high clip.
And so it's good to see that.
It's interesting to see how that unfolds over now.
The rest of the lobby, as far as adjustments that need to be made from day one to day two.
Well, there are a lot of jurors who are looking to make some changes
as we head into day two and our final six games.
So let's hear it from Taka and Takata
because I'm interested to hear their thoughts
on yesterday's action.
One thing's always going to be clear
whenever it comes to a two-day format
and that's the fact, Takata, that we know
all of these duos have likely been hitting the VODs,
especially those teams that were struggling
to try and establish their net surge.
Here today, they have the opportunity
to make some of those adaptations
that Levin had just kind of referenced.
And I'm hoping that we see it. We could maybe see more sneaky plays.
Even some of the most aggressive players have had the difficult tournaments all over the world,
not just in EU, but looking here at players like Sharkantini.
I mean, these are incredibly aggressive players, and when you kind of have to focus,
I'm not taking damage as much as doing it. I'm curious to see what mixups we see.
Even from Swizzy, we saw him practicing the off spawn.
So I'm hoping to see a little bit more sneaky action,
a little bit more kind of net search focused plays.
And then there's even duels like Darman Dimas
who are kind of dropping all over the map.
I think their most recent drop was Humble Hills,
but they started somewhere else
and then just been mixing it up throughout the whole day.
It's not really that surprising
to see Darman Dimas going on tour
after what happened at Tiptop Terrace
after Althakata, but for right now,
we gotta get back to the desk
to see what else they've got to say.
Thank you so much guys.
Now it's not just about becoming the major one champions today.
It's also about qualifying for the major one summer
at the PSD Bank Dome in Dusseldorf.
And there are a lot of teams
who are probably feeling very satisfied
in the top 10 right now, feeling fairly secure,
but anything can change.
However, one thing that does have to change
is the focus for some of our jurors
who are sitting outside the top 20 right now.
So if we head to page three,
we'll see Eyedrop Amaris sat in 30th.
Yeah, we're not looking at them to win,
But hopefully, Leven, they can change things up enough
to make more impact, because I feel like we barely
saw them yesterday.
Yeah, I mean, you want to expect that from these guys,
especially if you're Marius, right?
Right now, it's looking like a Danish FNCS,
all the Danish players are all celebrating,
excitedly at the top of the leaderboard,
which one of us is going to win another FNCS?
And you have to remember, Marius was obviously
that first Danish player to break that barrier and do it.
You obviously had a great global championship,
a great year, and you sort of just having to watch it,
you know, from the outside.
He's like that one squid with me, right?
And so ultimately, you want to see Marius sort of step up.
You want to see him take things into his own hands.
But it's a tough situation for them, Mini, right?
Going back and watching a lot of their games,
they're just having a tough time at Larte.
There's so many different teams
that I felt that were just sort of roughing them up
all over the POI.
Players coming in, camping buildings,
players on the outside,
you know, taking shots at them
when they had less favorable path paths.
And their games just looked rough.
And so hopefully they can sort of get a grip on things
and figure things out.
But ultimately, you know,
I reckon they're going to be
in for another tough day. Yeah,
I mean, it could have been even
worse for them as well. They
had a fourth place in that last
game, which was when that zone,
of course, pulled all the way up
to Larte, so they could have
been in much worse situation,
but thankfully for them, they
clutched up there so hopefully
they can bring that momentum
into today. And hopefully so can
Akira and Karama, our
gentlemen mates, French
representatives, they're
definitely going to be
disappointed with yesterday's
performance. Just everything
seemed to be going wrong for
these guys, but there was a
good reason for that, many
the top 20. Yeah. Yeah. After
game number three, they were
surprised contested by Serena
picks off ski down towards the
south of that fridges for a
frigid fortress area that they
were landing. And that really
makes things difficult, and
when you are sort of, you know,
a team of this caliber team
that everyone's expecting to do
well, then you start going
down or spawn. You start
having some troubles then
leaving that drop spot. It
just changes things up so
much. So now for a team
that a lot of people would
have expected to be in the
top 10, maybe even the top
five. They're looking up
just about hopefully making
it into the top 20. Yes
especially because there were some games where they lost your spawn,
but one of them would survive.
And so you have the ability to revive your teammate,
but we know how hard it can be when you're landing that spot that central
to then have to completely switch up the idea
about how you're going to play the game and recover the game.
It's not going to be easy for them,
but we'll have to see if they even stay contested,
because the team ended up leaving some of the last game.
So they'll definitely be hoping that they can survive.
I mean, I'm looking at this final page, Frankie,
and it's hard to look at one of the teams there for sure.
I'm going to try and be optimistic about this.
Could we see a historical performance for the ages
from Swizzing Pixie?
Ataka said they have been practicing their off-ball
and they were looking for volunteers yesterday at 11.
Is it too late for these guys to make it to LAN?
No, because I think, you know, I look at
how many points they're probably going to need today, right?
and we sort of had an estimate of around 300 other points in that sort of range.
Can these guys average 60 points per game over the course of five games?
I think they probably could, Mini.
It's going to take a lot though because they really struggled off-spawn here at Dark Dominion.
Even when they weren't having problems with Trudy, they were having problems here
underneath the POI with teams rotating in.
You could see them getting snuck up on.
You had high-joined Python for nine and moneymaker constantly
sneaking into tunnels and stealing some of their loot from underground
and just sandwiching them in.
It was really rough and really nasty at times.
It's I don't know what to expect at all because I don't see what changes
unless they just leave.
Yeah, well, now in the context of what happened in day one,
hopefully they can sort of learn from that, right?
They're two very good players.
You'd expect them to be winning those fights, but, you know,
it's going to be difficult for them.
It's not easy at all.
Well, if you're a Swizzy and Pixie fan, send them your best
because we are ready to board the battle boss.
It's time for game seven with TACO and TACATA.
Thank you guys so much.
And I think what's really exciting about today, TACATA,
is all of the stipulations surrounding it.
It's not just 20 teams that are going to be confirming
for this major one summit land,
but we got to see what happens first
because game seven's ready to go.
Despite my bias being from Spain,
I would like to see some West Zones today.
I want to see, you know, the teams in the top prove
that it's not all the Zones.
They have the experience and skills needed
to continue that place.
And I'd like to see them prove it.
Regarding coming to the early game
that we were alluding to Taco with Swizzy,
you were saying he's been practicing off-spons?
After yesterday's matches,
it comes as no surprise that they were interested
in looking towards those off-spons,
What I'm interested in right now is Wankyland.
Things were really starting to heat up yesterday.
Shark teeny definitely falling short of the expectations
that the entire community and those even outside of the EU
had sort of placed upon these two.
And whether you could argue that's just
hoodie and fishy having really ticked all the boxes
and doing their homework, making sure
that they came super prepared to try and overthrow
Shark and teeny from the POI.
But this has been a conversation that
started in the offseason and it's not going to stop anytime soon here today.
Sharktini though, gathered a little bit of their bearings around them.
Teeny, kind of just waiting for the prime opportunity to strike.
Looking for those opening shots, opening blows, a couple good tags there onto Fisschey,
but still not enough for him to feel comfortable with trying to go in for
the full on attack.
We saw a lot of confidence coming from Sharktini, not just in these major finals,
but they have cups, scrims, all sorts of opportunities
where if they kind of had the chance
to take those 1v1s.
So I'm curious to see how that changes here in day 2.
And we know that for a fact, there's
going to be some teams that are going for those surprise
contested situations.
Nebs, Nathan, this is just an excellent review here
of how Nathan was able to clutch things up for him
and his duo, even though Adapton extra
tried to interrupt them over at Humble Hills,
Those opening eliminations, it still blows pretty well for their next surge overall and
Darman D'Mish I think are another one of those teams where you never really know what their
next move is going to be.
The only thing that's for certain right now here today, Takata, is that they're going
to continue going on tour.
It's unfortunate that they lost their original POI drop with Tip Top Terrace, but game is
game.
And sometimes for pros, you have to make those on-the-fly adaptations.
And one big thing for Darman D'Mish is their strategy just really seems to
be reminiscent of that OG, Misha Teenie strat where they're the ones that are looking for
those ambush attacks on teams, interrupting their loot paths and it makes perfect sense.
They're very competent fighters and they had about half their matches yesterday where they
really got to play out the end games and they managed to find themselves in 12th place
heading into today, which is pretty impressive, given when you don't actually have a home
to call your own.
Yeah, I mean, I was going to say comfortably in the top 20, but the difference between
Well, hopefully, 20 is not much at all.
Cut off is currently 153 points for top 20.
The estimates, we were saying, around 250 to 300
when the day ends.
But let's see this strategy of kind of going all over the map
pays off.
DemishDarm actually did land at this PY previously.
So now that they've been spotted out
and the noise has been made, the aggression
is going to kick off.
It's just Darko's also lurking in the wings.
Ithrosi and Azad, they might have made even suspecting,
given that Darm Demish, they did make an indication
that they were interested to possibly contesting them
pretty early on, but it's lobby conditioning after all.
For Darm Demish, everybody's gotta be on their toes,
never really know what to expect from these two,
aside from the fact that they're willing to get scrappy.
We're gonna have to figure it out here now.
Rosie trying to see if you can get a separate angle of approach here just going to reconvene with this duo though
Sharktini on the other hand they're ready to strike wonky land really starting to heat up already here in game 17
He would have an immediate approach. Here's the thing teeny and shark buddy and fishy. They stole your PLI
They stole your placement yesterday
I mean they played the version of card on these guys and now they're trying to take their chain back
wonky land has to be established and for short teeny you know that they want to
call it their own but as long as honey and fishy exist in the lobbies that they
are also participants to that's just not going to be feasible this is a big match
for both of these players and there's not any all-out aggression coming through
the issue is they can't fully split it either you know that goes darned
Demish, though, have picked up Darkos.
There was a lot of third parties in the surrounding area,
but from what I'm seeing is it looks like they
might have just made it out.
Must have been an unfortunate outcome there
for Minori early on, since it was just Darkos looking
by himself, scary inside as though this might be a big part
of the reason why Darman Demish left the actual vicinity
of Builder Barracks, because third party intervention
is always going to be a prime issue for everything.
one of these duo is scary.
I'm trying to see if you can get the wrap around.
The confidence though, really starting to showcase itself
after yesterday.
Hard to also forget what took place.
Kansai hasn't really had one of the most insane solo clutches
that we've ever seen in a finals lobby,
but Azat just tickering around in these lower layers.
Oh, we're really left for him to run though.
He's kind of just getting pinched from both scary
and so I have a separate angles approach.
2v1 should be long before Syus Gary closes off, but I don't want to jinx anything.
Both players are now cracked.
It's a 1v1, as that has completely turned this fight around.
Syus trying to sneak his way out, just one build left.
And scary now, there's a lot more pressure on his shoulder.
Oh, no.
It just doesn't matter.
As a defense home base and that is going to be a detrimental blow already to our third
place team on the leaderboard.
When you talk about the metrics, the ripple effects, it makes it so much more feasible
for somebody in forward, like, how we could overtake, but looking at these initial opening
shots, that was just a nasty opener from Azep.
The fact that he was able to even break through in the first place, in that 1 vs 2 size and
scary, they had the right idea, just the wrong execution.
You just cannot be losing those 2v1s, especially in the early game, if you're looking to get
not only a top 3, I mean this was contenders coming up on top and I think, I mean the
zone was even pulling towards them once again.
much confidence after day one the performance of their lives and now a
rough start today too hopefully they can just forget about it and move on they
still have five more matches today. Sharpeenie's still here in Wankuland.
I'll tell you one thing and that's the problem to kind of still here when you're
in the third zone and there is yet to be a conclusion form between who's
actually coming out on top for this off-spotting. Great, so Wankuland is
is one of those POIs that you can split and still see both duos have a pretty dominant
performance from, but at the end of the day, you know that's not what either of these teams
are interested in.
There is so much pride riding on the line here right now, and for short teeny especially,
they've got a rep to rebuild because yesterday's performance was just, it was just not indicative
of what we've seen from them all throughout the off season.
here in this grand finals lobby day two it'd be your best chance to get a little recovery tour going
but and how they've kind of overstayed their welcome they're making themselves a little bit
more susceptible even to potentially getting third party I mean you have to remember there's
still like a mind row over by toy box docs that could decide to mosey on over once they hear
some of those shots starting to bring out and it's very believable that other teams would be
be drawn to the area.
Went back over to our number one duo though.
They've been playing with each other for so long.
And as Minnie was saying on the desk earlier,
one thing to highlight from Sky and Scroll is,
they weren't as far as possible,
you could think, you know,
as far as you could be from the zone,
but they weren't pulling every zone either.
And they still only had one match outside of the top 10,
got the whole day so we can expect to see them keep that consistency up honestly no matter
where the zone goes i guess if we got like all north zoned holes today it could look a little
difficult but Viko Malibuca i'm happy to see them in fourth place they had uh interesting
time in heats but seeing them here in set lobbies but the best of the best is what they're
they're comfortable performing in.
You might be happy to see them in fourth,
but knowing Bika Malabuga,
that is most definitely not the same sentiment
that they're going to be sharing here today, Takata.
They are looking to really see if they can make
some big leaps to play catch up with Sky and scroll,
but Flixie Chap, another one of those teams
that you can 100% expect to not be content
with their current placement on the leaderboard,
they are trying to go up, up, up.
And I mean, starting off over uncontested at Storm Station,
it's a very northbound position.
Zonezo, I don't think that that was their primary issue
after yesterday.
I think it's really just about smoothing out
those mid-end game transitions.
But yeah.
You got to call C's.
We got to see what's going on with these sounds.
We got to make a phone call.
Phone a friend.
Once again, Sandy's strip.
Yeah, it's not uh, it's not looking great. I know Thomas is he's locked in right now, but
Do I be like are you kidding me? Really? This is how we're kicking off the day
But I mean look
The good news is I hope that you know, they took the time to kind of do the homework and prepare for this scroll though
Picking up another elin
That's now they're looking very well off
I'm sorry, you had no business being near that star nation, Skye and Skrull, that is
actually wicked work there though. Skye Skrull is not going to complain about four additional
elimination points here. Yapko-Panzer, a team that is just inside that top 20 threshold
currently, but obviously there's more at stake than just that land qualification
spot for the major one summit everybody wants to also earn as much
prizing as they can from this major one grand finals and we have to go in
panzer they're content to just stay a little bit fucked away from the rest of
the commotion but shark teeny time to get a move on trying to block off shots
best they can two you want to pop right now on their damage threshold so both
Both teams will at least leave intact from Wonkyland.
Question now is just, what are they going to do
to prove that surviving Wonkyland
is going to net a nice end game?
I think it's more than just winning Wonkyland, right?
It's a POI where you can rotate late out of,
you have incredibly good rotation opportunities
with the Wonkywheel, bonus overdrive combo.
The Shark Teenie is a team that wanted to kind of block
Huddy and Fishy from making it to Summit 1.
After finishing 21st day one now,
I think they just focused on kind of cementing themselves.
And a better place on the leaderboard would speak
of Huddy and Fishy, both players now have gone down.
And it's Viko, Malibuca.
They're going to be the ones to shut them out.
Malibuca and Vika, I mean, hey,
you encroach upon their territory
over at Frigid Fortress.
You're bound to get a little bit of a bite back here.
Panzer, though, seeing him in the app go
in this dire strait position.
Drew, trying to do what he can.
Likely low on serve.
Panzer also going to fall below,
and it doesn't matter.
Catchery and Drew are going to be able to solidify
that last elimination there,
but I thought that they were going to be able
to avoid most of the traffic.
It's just the way that Xe and Chris Buka
seemingly snuck up on them.
really played spoiler in the mid game, but
Catrian Jew are still just below
search threshold. Trying to play catch up right now. Last we saw
Chris Puka and XZ, they were also another one of those duos that was just
underneath their search threshold. It was probably a big part of the reason why they
forced that fight
against Yapko and Panzer to begin with, but Catrian Jew just
how long do you really intend to try and wait this one out?
only 25 below. The last medkit being used right now, even from Jew, has a couple of
small ship motions, but really has to depend on Kantry to find a shot.
And he'll connect it, but at what cost currently? First Muka, NXV, just collapsing fully onto
Jew's duo, Jew gonna come crashing into their box, but he just doesn't have any health to
work with, and the surge will take care of them.
Deco Malibuca. Something's gone terribly wrong. I'm picking out putty fishies to now. Deco playing solo, 145 below.
I'm gonna fish up anything to help him. He'll up here. How did this happen?
That Surge is a very thick old beast to contend with inside of a set lobby finals and every
single duo after yesterday's performance whether good or bad everyone has had to re-evaluate
where they filled their search from.
And even experienced teams like Vika, like Malabuka, it's very realistic for them to
struggle.
It's a new mechanic and just too much for Vika to try and contend with this time.
Trico Zintilio will head over to his smooth body, but it's a tough break, that's for sure.
But it is only game 7. We still have plenty more matches still to go.
That we do. Yannis, she did 7th place on the leaderboard, looking incredibly healthy, going into this late game.
They've had pretty favorable zones as well.
It is very close, they drop right beside Sias and Scary, so hopefully they can capitalize it once again seeing that they got a nice zone to kick it off today.
Yes, and she didn't have done an excellent job. I don't think most people would have had them painted for top 10, especially in seventh place, but Chatflixy seems like trouble is definitely starting to strike here.
right here. AijanMedia is going to be the ones to actually hold them at bay. SharkTeeny
also just below on their damage threshold, applying even further pressure onto chap.
Once a team is kind of gauged to be a little bit weakened, the whole lobby focus in. Nice
little harpooning efforts from Shark also. Siluwe, some of that additional loot. It's
those micro mechanics that can make a pretty big difference later on.
Nice tag onto medias too, but 83 above, they're still going to have to get active.
They're going to have to get fraggy.
And if there's a duo that want to see get fraggy in the first place,
it's got to be shark and team.
Hey, I want the confidence to be fully built back up though.
You can kind of tell they're a little desperate to get back up that leaderboard.
But looking at chapter 315 below, I was talking about it yesterday.
is the team that has really high expectations going into 2026 and they just haven't quite
lived up to it in terms of how the placements have been, but they have the experience.
The issue is, picking it off like this, going down top 30.
Wrong place, wrong time, man.
Chapp had to move.
He didn't have any options, but it's just unfortunate the overdragger and Acre sent
him fully into the line of sight there of Shark and Teenie, but they're not
kind of a plane about that. And the slide is now starting to crank just a little bit up headed for the high ground.
Don't believe that they have ultimate height established just yet. Seems like they're going to weigh things out temporarily.
We've got a little bit of leverage here on secondary height, both Peshka, Chino Pablo, there's a couple of teams that might be starting to
go a little bit more head to head for that actual ultimate high ground control, but Monzy and Sky Jump 273 above.
So they're Surge looking decent but it's always a little bit more cautious for how you want to proceed.
Even if you got Surge now it doesn't mean you're gonna be able to maintain it when you make the next rotate.
Kira Kurama only do those ahead.
Take a look at what Thomas Fokus have been up to. Nice little elims.
They needed these refreshes considering that they had to make an incredibly par rotate once again just to get here.
here but one of the teams that has still been performing well despite that, Chino Pablo though
have another opportunity to big match.
Tanking just a couple of ticks of a storm might make for a late attempt, slightly later
it's a fun.
It looks like disaster has struck here, Pablo and Chino while they're awaiting for the
opportunity instead they're going to be the ones seized upon.
Boblla now looking to fight things out what reason no Riley
Get desperate there
I got to come crash to get the Boblla's box just yet, but
Boblla is not careful
They might choose to follow him will manage to actually navigate his way towards the front side of the zone
But has a solo in this kind of position
You just got to be so paranoid because teams one layer above one layer below you never know when someone's gonna come
running right at ya.
Skyjump, Momzine, seems like they want to take more control of this ultimate low ground.
Solved just how fruitful it was for Sky and scrolling yesterday's performances.
So if another team has those same intentions, could be interesting.
Naurayli though, not gonna stick around.
Ghosty, cleaning up Dina's backside of the zone.
Thomas and Focus though.
They've got their eyes set on the fries and they're just making sure that they cut off sure for end repairs.
But they're pretty much parked for their head.
Pablo's still looking for eliminations.
And we've seen Pablo do it before, Takata.
The solo clutch factor is definitely there,
but how much more placement, how many more eliminations
can he realistically secure from this point?
Currently top 16, Ishwiz, he only has three builds.
Sharktini is what we've been waiting for.
They're running low on mats, they're going.
They need to look for some repressions.
Skyscroll in a similar situation, Ishwiz.
Backside of zone now.
Looking for options.
Yanis cheating.
Hold in height, strong.
So far, no teams have contested them.
But it looks like Sharks has gone down.
Tini is left on the zone.
Pablo still able to clutch this up.
Gets a nice repression now.
A chance to continue forward.
The planches, man.
Just stopping him in his tracks.
Tini also going to be brought to a fall.
Thomas and Focus now waiting in the wings here.
Skye, additionally a solo, but he's looking.
He's just trying to dance around the lobby.
He's been spying him a little bit of time,
Making him a slightly more difficult target to try and track down, but the sky, the fact that he hasn't received any damage just yet.
Look at him get a big shot on the nebs, doesn't actually get the full knock though, just takes out his shield, he is not healthy on the low ground, but Thomas and Focus, they find Sky.
That's gonna be nine eliminations already for Thomas and Focus, they are cranky things up a notch here.
Look at him maybe drop another layer, potentially see if they can play clean up prove to those teams in the ultimate low ground
Or just let them collide against each other, but repairs and chauffeur
The persistent pressure, Thomas doesn't have any more ability, can't afford to go for the top
He's forced to transition to ultimate low
Thomas don't nearly get the shot, but Nathan gonna put him in the dirt
Nathan and Nebs
Another double elimination team
Look at trying to close this one out
Almost at 100 points in a single batch, but the issue is
This teammate is down cringe now trying to see if he can continue his momentum from when he kicked things off yesterday in game 1, but he is going to go down.
Sherfor is going to be the first one to drop Repair, still applying pressure from overhead. They just got to track down Nathan, but he can't withstand the storm.
Sherfor and Repair is finding their first victory royale of the weekend here in game 7.
That height at the end was getting chaotic. Thomas H.C. Focus, they were looking for it.
Jeetan Janis could not hold on for long enough, but somehow Repair is sure they got the job done.
They took it at the right moment. Desk, I need you to break that down for me.
I think the best summary is they took it by force level in 2K. Repair was known as one of the
biggest damage dealers, I think top 10 damage dealer in the lobby yesterday, and now he can
call himself a victory royale winner too. Yeah look, I want to give these guys a
a lot of credit, but I also want to take a moment to give praise to one of my personal
favorite analysts in Fortnite. And that's Coach Harry. He was on the broadcast for Real
O, right? I spoke to Coach Harry before Grandson. I asked him, who's your surprise team? Who's
the underrated team that you really are? And he said, I see short phone repairs getting
a top 10 this weekend and surprising a lot of people. I think he even said, as far
as like he could see them even sneaking towards a close up top five position, something
something mad like that. And I sort of looked him and I went, Oh, I don't know
about that one. But I think this is exactly what he was seeing in the replay. So I
I think a lot of people weren't seen as their ability mini to have games just like this one.
Well, he might just be absolutely right because in the start of the day, they're starting 11th place
and that win is surely going to boost them way up in the standings.
Can't wait to see where they are right now.
But a really nicely closed out endgame right here.
We had a little bit of a sort of UK battle down on low ground with Neves and Nathan against
Dwight and cringe.
And what they did really well here was just stayed up above waltz.
All those guys fought out down below sure for really nice elimination right there onto cringe.
to go down. And what I like here as well, repairs, which is staying up on top, almost securing the
win while Shawfall was taking them out in the storm. So, really nicely played for these guys,
hopefully a sign of more things to come. And of course, as the cast has said, it's their first
win. So let's see if they can keep that momentum there. Yeah, looking nice and clean from these
guys. So let's see what they can do in the next five games. We will be back in a few minutes,
though, Gann, because we need to take a short break when we come back. More about game number
separately.
Wait, if you have a thing.
100! 100!
Oh, my God!
And I don't know how to feel about it.
You're not used to losing. Getting beaten?
Not like this. These players are just so locked in.
Could it be the milk?
Mm-hmm.
I
Stay there
to see where they get them
within the top 10. We'll start
in 11th before we kicked off
today's action and action. We
saw in our first game 11 2 K
because it was exciting to see
Thomas and focus managing to
the game. It's a great game 11
to K because it was exciting to
see Thomas and focus managing
to overcome the challenge of
heading to a zone on the other
side of the map. Usually they
use that as an excuse to not
pull off a great game, but they
had 10 eliminations made it to
forth. That's pretty impressive.
Yeah, look, I think, you know,
Thomas and focus obviously were
asking for better zones here
in day two. They would have
obviously seen that zone many
and gone. All right, we're
not going to get out there
in our own hands and, but one thing I said about these guys yesterday was that
you're not going to be more consistent than Sky and Skrull and so how can you beat them?
You have to outfrag them and the way they came into this game,
they were hitting shots, they were looking to be aggressive,
they picked up a double digit LM game,
those are the types of games they need to keep having
if they have any chance of catching up to first place.
Yeah, Ten Elimination is an absolutely huge fourth place in that game.
Sky and Skrull had a seven elimination,
oh sorry, a seven place with four eliminations
and they've actually beaten them in that game which is absolutely huge for them.
I think it's kind of unfortunate for Thomas and focus because if it wasn't the sky and scroll were actually so good actually took out sky there
Of course as well if it wasn't the sky and scroll so good
They probably on track to win this FNCS because when you look at the teams above them in terms of Chino and Pablo
They they've had four shirts so it's like they haven't necessarily proved themselves as well when it comes to further zones
It's just really unfortunate for them that sky and scroll just doing so so well at the moment
Things can change them and if that first game is anything to go by they did better than them
So how's things going to change out the rest of the game?
Yeah, what did go wrong for Sky and Skrull in that last game, Mini-Miner?
They made an appearance in the end game.
Is it just like a resource situation?
Yeah, everything was looking good.
I mean, we saw it in the mid game.
We saw them inside of the storm, like I talked about previously.
Ultimately, Skrull went down.
And usually, in a Skrull, it's been most successful with these solo clubs.
He's 11. It was left to Sky.
He had no materials, couldn't find his way around.
And I think probably this duo would rather have Skrull in that situation,
but a decent game, nevertheless.
Yeah, I think either one of them, I think it's more than capable.
I think we saw in the heats,
it was Sky that was solo clutching a bit more than Skrull, right?
So I think either one of them is comfortable.
Yeah. Ultimately, I don't think this is the worst game in the world for them.
I think this is actually fine.
Yet he couldn't find the win condition of this.
He's Sky is supposed to solo clutch.
It was a difficult zone to do so, especially with how high we're playing it.
I think you'd still be happy with how that game played out,
especially as far as Chino and Pablo are concerned
and Chino going down and maybe not having the best of games there.
Yeah, what happened, Levin?
We saw Pablo doing this classic solo clutch,
but why did he end up in that situation?
It was quite unfortunate.
It was this rotation here.
They were the last ones to go.
And so there's people looking backside,
Chino just gets sprayed out.
Unfortunate because the game, the setup
looks like what we have seen from them yesterday,
where they're just looking at, they're
going to have another really good game
and keep up with Sky and Scroll.
But Pablo had to clutch up, and as well,
he is one of the best solo clutches in this lobby.
you know, if you ask Destiny Jesus, he might tell you he's one of the best of all time.
He wasn't quite able to salvage enough points, right, to really make it happen.
And so still a good game from Pablo, able to stay up as long as he did.
Chino unfortunate to go down there.
The timing on that rotation was really just what got them.
Yeah, it sort of reminds me of that game three for me.
I say when we had that wonky land pull, I could be wrong,
but I'm pretty sure they went down in exactly the same way.
And I'm pretty sure it was Chino in that exact same situation
where they tried to use one of those overdrive grenades at the wrong time.
They sort of got dropped down.
of course, they didn't take
four damage, but they were just
on show to the rest of the lobby
that had already advanced
forward. So I think there's a
problem there that they're
having. Hopefully they can fix
it though. And if they get
different zones, maybe we'll
see different plays from them,
but still not the worst game
there for them maintains. That's
quite second. Well, let's take
a look at the leaderboard again
because I want to see what size
and scary our Spanish duo are
because many minor it wasn't a
great game for them. I mean,
it's amazing. It really speaks
problems of their performance
yesterday that they've only
gone down one place because
of the game. I mean, it's
really hard to say, but it's
really hard to say. Well, it's
their worst game. It is the
first knock that we've seen
from these guys. Their first
problem and they went down here
11 in quite surprising
fashion, especially considering
how much we were hiking up
at the beginning of the day.
Yeah, we're picking them up
for their fighting, and then
they just allow us that I
say the one D one and he
didn't miss the shots and then
scaries on the back end. He
tries to get, you know,
to the lobby for the Spaniards
again to forget, but hopefully
not a sign of what's to come.
We saw them with a lot of those
fights like that. That's just a
fight that they would have one
and cleaned up really quickly
yesterday. A bad sign to start
today. I'm excited about it now
though, because it's like a
sorry, Frank is it because it's
like it's something we haven't
seen from these guys yet this
weekend and you spoke about
the beginning of the day 11
these guys want to make sure
they're not going to be the
anomaly. They're not going to
be the team that fall off after
day one. So how are they
going to react now? They haven't
been in the situation before
when we look at their entire
careers and they haven't been in this situation before when we look at just this weekend so this
is going to be a really exciting team to watch now. I mean it must be so difficult when you are
outperforming other people's expectations of you and suddenly you're like actually this is
reality we could do this but now all we need to do is almost like not get ahead of ourselves and
not let the nerve set in and I wonder if that's something on their minds because they know they
should make it to Düsseldorf but now they know that they could also win $120,000.11
I mean, yeah, it's it's a lot of pressure, right? And so when you're the team that was winning a bunch of fights, and now, you know, you go into your first important fight the next day and it just doesn't quite work for you, do you start to question yourself? Do you now think, actually, no, maybe we shouldn't be as aggressive as we were yesterday and that ends up leading to the decline of the performance is that I wonder where their
of the game. It's been a
lot of fun. I mean, the
priorities are in that regard.
And then a favorable zone as
well. It's like another
missed opportunity. We spoke
about a little bit yesterday.
These missed opportunities for
these teams. They're going to
be looking at that now, where
that zone ended up and be like,
Oh, if only we won that fight,
but hopefully it doesn't not
went down too much. Who are we
looking at then going into this
next game? Who are we
expecting to really step
things up? Say,
hypothetically, we finally get
a West pulling zone. Many
have a massive game and sort
of close the gap in our first
place. It's going to be big for
me to look at Pablo and Chino to
see if we do get that West
Zone because the one time they
did have a West Zone. It wasn't
great for them. So we're sort of
looking at different teams up
there for different reasons as
well and even sort of further
on down the lead. We're
excited to see that sort of
section as well as see how that
develops when we look at that
top 20. Can I say it's really
nice to see Thomas back in
Duro's and back on form as
well because I feel like we're
getting the Thomas that we
know and love and provide so
many exciting moments. I feel
like we missed out on that
last year, so I'm going to save these large five games and see what all the players here
in Europe can bring us as we head back to taco and to cut it. Thank you, Frankie. Look,
Thomas HD and focus. We're not the only ones that had over 10 eliminations coming from
the West side of zone with that East pole in the last match. Neves Nathan as well.
But I want to keep my eyes on shark and teeny. They're in 14th now going into that
game. They were 21st. They've jumped up to 14th. We weren't seeing them play as confident
against Huddy and Fishy. Huddy Fishy did go down without getting not many points at all.
And the thing is Sharktini don't only want to prove themselves with the performances leading
into these major finals, but they want to make sure that Huddy and Fishy do not
make it the summit one. The issue is Taco. They have to confirm their spot themselves
first. I just love that they keep playing leapfrog with the placements on the leader boy but right
now we'll happen to wait to see what game mate has in store. And as you can expect Akata that fight
over by wonky it is still going to be a very open-ended conversation but there has been a lot
a shuffling taking place around the map. We're getting a nice little overview, checking in.
Swizzy, Pixie, Truly, Gonzo. Nobody would have anticipated this to be so heavily against
Swizzy and Pixie, but they're looking to restore honor in their name. Truly, though,
gonna be able to strike back. It's a one-for-one exchange. Elimination ring out. Swizzy
has the iron pump, though. Just looking to try and chase down Truly. But you have to imagine
This is only going to draw another third party intervention soon enough.
Swizzy just trying to track down this final elimination as quickly as possible.
He knows the clock is working against him. He knows.
Hi Joe, Keto. It might be hot on the trail here already trying to take the teleporter to cut
them off in those tunnels. And truly it's got weapons, but that's about it.
You need some shield. The HP department, so much more heavily in Swizzy's favor.
Trying to get an overhead view, but neither of these solos has very much
much material to work with and that's the biggest reason why it's at such a standstill.
We're losing to earlier too this is just the first part of the battle even if
either player here comes out on top there still could be more rotating into
the portals down below so Swithy knows that this fight has to be ended quickly
and now's the chance to do it. First shot connects one more needed as truly
is put into panic. Swithy 170 effective HP and it's going to actually
not connect that shot and this fight is just continuing to stagger you can save the mini map
bottom right there's already another team close by truly just going to use that overdrive effect
but swizzy is ready to collapse and he finally connects the final shot swizzy and pixie have
technically come out on top but it might be a short live victory because keto hygeo they're
already paced up in those tunnels so even after getting the reboot off onto pixie
It's only a matter of time before they have to contend with the duo that's directly underneath them
Looking back at wonky land we saw a slow start to the match in
Game seven. I think it was third zone taco. They were still here
Farmin kind of shooting back and forth
I don't even know which zone they ended up rotating in but I mean they do have the wonky wheel
now though, I really want to be able to close this fight off quicker.
Teenie also just trying to fade out this chest.
Huddy fishy, the fully aware of the fact that their opponents are very likely just
slinking around wonky land waiting for the perfect ambush.
But Teenie, gotta be very cautious here because it's still a two versus one technically speaking.
Shark and Bride, some support, but he's gotta be quick with it.
He doesn't want to leave his teammate, Teenie, out by himself for too long,
especially knowing that Tweck is lingering too, but Nebs, Nathan,
Humble Hills has been very active since secondary half of yesterday,
and they've actually been eliminated.
The surprise contest, not so much a surprise here in day two after all,
but it's just a matter of fact that other leaderboard team taken out very early on.
That's such a big game to 11 elimination second place.
What a devastating finish.
We'll see if they can come back from that now.
Chino Pablo on the other hand.
Not quite a nice start to the day and also looking as it seems
start to the match or the quick elimination.
Oh, tell us over there over juggernaut pump finish, but Swizzy loses pixie one more time
The reboot did draw that extra company that was waiting underneath. Hi Jolo
Sent into a lot of total panic, but it is a bit awkward here now. He's a few to anticipated
They would have been in a much more favorable spot to try and take out both Swizzy and pixie simultaneously instead
he's just playing like and this is everything because it is when you think about it and they have such a
Daunting day ahead of them Takata. They need so many points that they want to even try and consider top 20
So these eliminations that swizzies able to collect they're gonna need so many more of them along with some strong placements. I
Don't want to call it impossible because we've seen crazy things happen before
four in the lobby finals, but it is just such such such an uphill battle for those two to
try and make it back for the land contention. It's about like 50 points a game ish. I mean,
Levin was speaking about it. We said the estimates 250 to 300 points, five end games.
But what we mean by an end game, it's a top five with four eliminations. So getting
That five out of six games today.
Well, I mean, we already had game one, so they've already kind of got to step it up a little bit, but
a long road ahead of them for Sky and Scroll on the other end.
They've already continued with the consistency.
The only thing that can danger them is if the other duos
in the kind of top three range continue to get very high elimination matches,
but it's just going to be so difficult to beat Sky and Scroll's consistency.
I'm just not over the fact of thinking that when the major one Summit Land does happen
in Dusseldorf, that there is a very realistic possibility we're not going to see anyone
from our global championship trio participate in it.
It is heartbreaking to an extent, especially for obviously, you know, the global championship
individuals, but a new era in EU, that's for sure.
Hocus Thomas, they're just trying to see if they can replicate some of that game seven
success.
They're going to need those types of games to stack up here.
They want to see if they can overthrow Skye and Skrull after their game one performance
is yesterday.
Yuka Malibuka, they found some eliminations on the Huddy Fishery in the last match
when they rotated through.
They've already kicked it off with two as well.
They dropped down two placements on the leaderboard after game one, but they're still in a comfortable
position.
Five matches left to close out these major finals.
Stereo lurking.
Not going to give away his position just yet.
Doesn't have.
Typically you would want to see the set duo go for that 3-2-1 beam.
that I felt as confident being able to bring down Thomas if it's only him
sending those shots forward that did also gonna continue trying to wrap around
here meet up with the exterior but the opportunity might have just missed them
and now twerk might even be able to get overhead look back though into what
sky and scroll we're getting up to it's not just the surge base it's
eliminations and that is a very big blow to achieve by the way I mean sky and
scroll are doing everything in their power to control their own destiny at this point.
They really are. I mean,
see how far they've come so far. And I want to see them, you know, have no FNCS finals titles,
not only win an FNCS, but also continue forwards in the Summit 1
and land at Dusseldorf.
I know a comment that many made earlier
before we even kicked off the day.
Is that when he was going through some of the replays
here with Skye and Skrull, one thing that they definitely
love to do is commit to the storm-sided plays
where they'll spend decent amount of time in storm,
really not getting a move on until fourth or fifth zone.
And I mean, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
it's been working out for them wonderfully and so
they're able to still just keep tabs of their search there there's no reason for
them to try and
thwart themselves in the process
skyjump and mom's e
just trying to see
what's going to be the catalyst for their performance here today
but they know that they've really got to try and find their rhythm soon enough
everybody wants to make sure that they are at least within
that top twenty on the leaderboard
for the summit landfall.
Minimount had brought it up.
Sias, Gary, their worst match coming
from their best performance
and all their time playing Fortnite.
I'm just hoping we see a strong mental from them now
and see them continue like we saw them yesterday.
I mean, the pressure is on them.
They don't want to see them drop down.
Thomas and focus though.
They keep up the way they started today. We can quickly see them pushing up that top three
And so far it's looking like they're gonna continue
Okay, even if the zones aren't in their favor, they've clearly got other intentions for how to get the job done
nice elimination there
Set them up 555 moving into the next couple of zones sure for and repairs though
looking much more like a dark horse contender for this weekend to Cata
especially after finding that Victor Royale in the last match they've
definitely set themselves into a pretty solid position here for the leaderboard
overall now it's just about making sure that they continue to build on some of
the points that they started sort of gather up in that game seven size and
scary though, like to see them still being a little bit more reserved, switching things
up, you know, maybe you came out a little bit too hot off the gate, right, look, too excited
for game seven, realize, okay, well, maybe, oh, we can get fraggy, but, uh, you know,
maybe the outfall and surprise gun, it isn't exactly where we want to head to our pets.
So I like that they're just off thing to fall back a little bit here, sky scroll though,
they're ready to make their move. It's going to be a dead side zone approach.
They'll do their thing as we are still in Wokky Land.
Chartini.
No evens on the board you can see.
It's been pretty peaceful here.
As I think they're gonna decide to finally make their rotate come through.
I was mentioning in the last game Wokky is one of the POIs that you do have.
A bit of kelp in terms of rotating out.
with that wonky wheel but I'm looking to see a big game from Shark and Keeney I
mean you talked about wonky land being a splittable POI we know they don't want to
do it but it seems like their focus right now is just kind of cementing
themselves a good spot on the leaderboard before they start playing
like we've seen them play throughout the season.
Shark and Keeney actually cutting across over to Frozen Shard.
Guy got a monkey steering all by, but it's like the riff.
They're not going to wait.
Other intentions aside from the wheel,
wonder if they even knew that Shaco's and Tillyo were actually
waiting at the bottom of that wonky land wheel.
Maybe that was a concern for them,
that they didn't want to get tagged up
as they were going for that deeper rotation.
But right now, Yapko, Panzer, hopefully this time,
There's nobody to play spoiler to their position.
But that's that's part of the dangers that always occur.
I think in a set lobby finals where, you know, that there's going to be
more than one team that starts to get a little bit desperate
for their surge when they're underneath that threshold.
Let's just see how Thomas and Focus are looking now.
So far they don't want to do anything too risky just trying to kind of stay ahead of
the zone here let it pull towards them in terms of damage looks like they're sitting
quite comfortably you see kami Hari goes by a lot of them kicking off yesterday but
today. See nothing so far.
So there's a lot of action taking place underneath Thomas and focus
faded and con.
The team's kind of sandwiched between where Thomas focus around and candy
Hottie. One of those big deals have found to get involved soon enough here.
Shark teeny, maybe one above right now.
Both of the couple of eliminations, right? Two for the pairing.
So, they're able to find something after they left Rose and Shard.
Just wonder who it was that they actually managed to sort of sneak up on.
But they'll make their way into this next edge of the zone. They're gonna stick to the lower end.
So you have a chance to look back now, and it's Monzy and Sky Jump after all.
The intentions behind that frozen char play was
Lightly just to cut off the Frenchies and that that is a tough blow for skyjumpin monzi. Yeah
on the contrary though
George Cattini didn't more and more set up for this late the image storm two elims on the board
I wonder if it was from there and a mix-up of spawn strategy, but
Either way
They've been continuing the momentum from yesterday
They had a rough start to day one, they ended with a big match and now going into day two,
they're continuing their success.
They actually did take out I-Farasi and Asat in the early game, so showing the dominance
from previous drops they've kind of had throughout this tournament.
just making it very clear that if they mark somewhere they likely have
intentions to visit it eventually. And Brazzana and Frosy, while they defended it
one time, Forfields is going to continue to be I think a pretty big point of
contention. The remainder of our match is here today but the lobby is starting
to close in. Teams some kind of scattered around the outskirts of the
zone all different directions but you can see those surges lighting up and
full of different teams here now.
Balabuca and Viko.
While we didn't necessarily get to see too many overviews from their performances yesterday,
one thing's for sure, Viko was definitely getting very active of dealing damage.
But Thomas, he's just wiggling around inside of his own box,
and Boke is brought so incredibly low.
Part of the problem too, when we last saw them tanking up those ticks of storm,
they didn't have much white heals.
had splashes in a single chug jug so now they've really got to depend on finding a
refresh here but focus very low on his shields Thomas maybe going to be able to
take over the leading charge there for aggression
on the other hand just trying to apply some pressure prevent any other teams
from kind of encroaching on their position they know there's at least one
or two duels hurting nearby but not enough for them to get a move on just
yet. Yeah, they also pulled quite literally the furthest zone they could here. Shark and
Tini on the contrary. The perfect pull. They're capitalizing on it. Swissy, Pixie as well. They
actually got 48 points in the last match. We said they need 50 points a game if they
want to make it to Dusseldorf. Seeing them in the end game, both of HP. I've got
faith. This might be best case scenario for Melibuca and Vigo. All those heroes that
just sent themselves scattering for.
Yep, go, Panzer.
In a heavy world of hurt right now,
Panzer just trying to outlast it
with his chug-jug focus.
The only one left standing right now
between himself and Thomas as a solo.
He's at least got the mythic pump to work with.
His only formability though,
a singular overdrive grenade,
and he's 240 below.
He has to find a shot.
He has to do it now.
Panzer won't be able to connect.
He's gonna be cleared out of the lobby,
But focus, all eyes on you currently.
Chat Flixie just behind him.
He's gonna opt to try to see if he can rule his record.
Only four whole players and he might be saved.
But you never wanna leave it up for the rest of the lobby,
but Malibuka, Viko, I thought it'd be beneficial.
Them being ahead of the rest of the pack,
scattering in towards their direction instead.
It looks like they've been overwhelmed now.
If they're sitting underneath the search threshold,
Malibuka has to find a big pump shot to connect.
Otherwise, the search ticks will take him out entirely.
And then Focus both just trying to see who's going to be the first to find that opening below, but Focus, Mali, saved.
Behind the players in the lobby eliminating themselves essentially, Surge won't work against them, but they are still in a dire situation.
Both of these teams fighting for their placements on the leaderboard.
They've got positions to defend, but it's Malabuca taking out five Focus.
Siphon, just in the nick of time, that is still the worst case scenario here now though,
for Mali, so you'll have to wait, see what happens next.
Woah, what a way to go down for Thomas Hd2, this just shows that even the best of the best in EU
are struggling with this net surge, forcing themselves to situations where they have
to take those risks. Sias now is actually left alone despite that elimination on Thomas Hd2.
You see, and both Huttie Fishy and Chartini are second height and full height from Wokiland
to the end game.
This battle, it never ends.
But Shark and Teenie, Huttie Fishy, neither of them really seemed all that set in terms
of material.
Huttie Fishy, they might have the high ground for the time being, but with the
way that the zone is pulling over a little bit of elevation shifts, they might have
the later transition eventually they're gonna need to drop your sias try to go up but that elevation
ship brings him down instead shark big blow against sky there gonna keep him incredibly low and now
teeny's ready to go up couple of opening tags there onto honey and fishy and honey's been dropped
shark gets credit for it fishy all by his lonesome bill be forced to try and escape but he's
not gonna get away not this time shark and teeny have total control of the high ground this
This is what we've been waiting for.
Chartini, they couldn't close out the fight in walkie land,
but now in the late game, not only of the overthrown height,
it's against the team that's contesting them.
They do not want to give them a shot at the major one land.
Gino trying to do an again to clutch up.
Sky Skull continue on the low ground.
They got to be careful, though.
Refresh comes through, and now the vertation continues
forward.
Sky and Skull, they are more than comfortable here
in the lower layers.
We saw how fruitful it was for them in yesterday's performance.
They did a great job at just controlling the low ground.
Anybody that was trying to layer swap last second always had to deal with them.
And Chino left by himself, Pablo left behind.
Chino trying to do what he can to connect some additional tags here.
Seifin would go a long way for him.
He's gonna send himself straight to the side.
Low, swizzy, also trying to see if he can make it happen.
They're drawing his way through this match since the beginning to Kata the fact that he's still standing as a solo
It was impressive enough as is, but Chino
Very similar position
Utilizing the building space now on the other side of the wall
Harris gets the first shot
They were both waiting to connect and scroll
Skye
This is their best opportunity now to continue trying to extend their lead
But Sky gets put down for betters waiting in the wings.
They are so ready to overtake these teams on the leaderboard.
We gotta make sure that you're looking every direction here
because team's speaking up just behind.
And it's Shark.
It's Teeny.
We all cited them on the high ground,
but they didn't lose sight of the players in the lobby.
They're bringing this one home.
This is what we've been waiting for.
12 eliminations for Shark and Teeny.
Franky Levin Mini, I know you're gonna have smiles on your face.
There has been a revenge narrative all weekend between Shark and Teenie and Huttie and Fishy X
at Wonkyland and we thought that this one was probably gonna end by the mid game given that
they were so stubbornly refusing to leave until there was a victor but then they decided it
on height 11. I was so excited as soon as we got that drone shot and we saw who was on
I knew we were getting one thing and one thing only mini and that was going to be cinema at the end of the day
You don't go swimming if you're not ready to swim with the sharks and as soon as those two went up fight
I said yeah, man, they're ready for the comeback. That's what they're looking for big pop-off games
That's what we want to see from people of course mean I like seeing you know
You know people get third place for a limbs consistently game off the game
But what I like more is seeing shark and teeny getting a win with 12 a limbs
that is what we want to be
seeing. Yeah, that's absolutely
huge. I'm just looking at. It's
actually only their second top
10 overall over this weekend.
They got fourth in the first
game, and then it was, of
course, that win right there.
Absolutely huge for this team
going to do them wonders in
terms of the leader will but
also in terms of their
confidence as well, just
proving that they are here
to play. They would have fixed
a couple of those mistakes
maybe from yesterday. There's
mid game of spawn sort of
situations they found themselves
in. And I think the height
take just individually was
really, really impressive. I
went up who sort of excited in the back and the way they went and so I think we might not get to see it but it's
I love the way they went about it because they actually used the new sort of ADS whilst up in the air feature
I think it was shark that did it just absolutely beam yeah he had that Nemesis rival just an absolutely beam I think it was
classy all the way up on height and that's not something you could have done previously in previous seasons
but the knowledge of that was super useful and of course when they're in this situation there's only one
want an eventual outcome.
Yeah, I'm glad we've sought both of them, sought popping off,
right, as far as shot and TV, because obviously shot
gets all the hype.
But I think people forget just how good team he is, right?
The best controller player in the world for a reason.
I know Ritova and Nene might be failing a way about me
saying that, but you have two incredibly talented players
who ultimately we've just not seen the best of them
over the first sort of six games we saw yesterday.
And so hopefully now this is the boost they need,
the momentum they need to know.
Even in situations where the Osborn at Wanky is still a bit messy and was still stuck in stagnating fight in there,
we can have end games like that to make up for.
But they're currently sitting on the leaderboard, they are 219 points behind our leaders Sky and Skrull.
We'll get to see if they can make even more gains in our next game after the break.
I'm gonna kill you.
Oh
And I don't know how to feel about it.
You're not used to losing.
Garing beaten?
Not like this.
These players are just so locked in.
Could it be the milk?
Mm-hmm.
Pfft.
Ahhhhh!
It's okay.
Ahhhhh!
Stay there.
Welcome back to FNCS Europe.
It's the major one finals,
and there's just four more games until we crown up first winners of the year and 11
It's really heating up on the leaderboard right now
And there's one duo who remain confident as ever and that is sky and scroll
They have the highest the limbs and highest average placement as well. So this is a team that's not just playing it safe
No, and they again continue to showcase the issue that anyone else in this lobby is gonna have
when trying to catch up with their mini,
how do you stop a team that is just gonna keep getting
these top fires, keep getting deep into these end games?
And in many cases now as well,
are gonna be outfragging you in these end games as well,
right?
This game was a second place 8LM game
where, you know, what do you need to catch up?
I mean, it is so, so difficult.
They just really have a lock on the low ground.
Nobody seems to be able to play it better than them
right now in a year.
And I don't see that changing in the next four games.
That's really nice to see them play in the low ground so well as well.
It's nice to see a team have an identity.
I feel like it's not something that we've associated with teams necessarily previously as much,
or at least not as obviously as we can see right here with Sky and Scroll.
And you can see, right, I mean, it's so difficult to catch up to them
because they're just covering all bases so, so well.
They're finding eliminations whilst being super consistent.
And for teams that are trying to catch them up, Chino and Pablo,
Focus and Thomas HD, what do you actually do, of course,
weren't able to win this game, but again, another unfavorable zone,
and maybe while our hair will be gray by the time we get a Western this weekend, but it's
just going to be unstoppable for them. And they've nearly sort of walked back that sort
of 90 point gap as well. What is that? Is that like 80 points? Unbelievable right now.
Yeah, it's absolutely unbelievable from these guys. It is. It's 82 points, I believe, have
done the maths right. So it is a stunning performance from these guys. And the thing
is, sometimes with jurors, we'd be questioning, we'd be going, well, are they able to
that they're going to increase
it, but it's not guaranteed for
Pablo and Tino that they are
going to be able to maintain
the distance between second
and third mini minor. Yeah,
they've still been doing very
good. I mean, it's you know, it
is a nice end game for them.
They managed to get a couple
of eliminations here as well.
Again, the zone right on
their drops while Sandy strip,
of course, but this is
exactly what we expect to see
from these guys taking
advantage of these zones
because yes, I'm sure we
will get a different sort of
zone soon, but they need
to make these made the most
of it when they're
soon, but they need to make the most of it when they're still getting the zones right now and they
did serve very well here. Yeah, I mean somebody clearly out there really wants us to have a close
finish here in some degree right because these guys are going to continue to get those beneficial
zones but they play them well and so I know people will you know will banter them and say oh you
guys had all the zones whatever whatever they're playing them well there's other players who are
getting favorable zones ain't doing anything similar to what these guys are able to produce.
And sure for and repair they almost look like they were gonna reproduce a victory Royale 11
I'm so impressed by the way that these guys are stepping things up on day two
Absolutely again the theme of this season has been what it's been these newer names these newer talents people who you may be
One expecting to pop off and showcase what they can do and I think these guys exemplify that
Excellent you write this moment here
the team she know and repairs it was like who's going to get the job you expect the person with the right hand peak there to win
But repairs again showcasing just why they have been so formidable across these two days so far. I'm very excited again
I'm very excited to see you know, sort of what the the the limit is for these guys
I didn't do a day
We're gonna expect to see these guys at this point now make it to the summit land
Would they be able to replicate this performance and surprise some of the best players on other regions over the course of those games
Well, listen, it's time for Legends Watch because Swizzy and Pixie, they made it to a couple
of end games now.
Back to back.
The question is, were they good enough end games to move them substantially up the leaderboard?
They've not made it into the top 20 yet, but on page three, you can see them there up
or walking 14 places, 25.
Now Jisoud Dwarf is looking like a reality 11.
Yes.
And this is the thing, when you have elite players, and that's what these guys are,
regardless of what we saw yesterday, when you have elite players, you can't cut
them out. I love the approach they've taken to today's Ospawn's mini where yesterday they lost a
couple of spawns you know at Dark Dominion and so they decided okay we're going to just try and
split it and then that's where they ran into more problems. Today they've just been taking the fight
of spawn and they're just like no no no we're going to fight you guys we're going to take the
fight Trini Gomes and whatever you guys want to do we will fight you no problems asked they've
been winning the fights even in that last game right they ended up with what a really good
game where the start of the game was actually rough because they have to reboot Pixi then
When Pixie gets rebooted, other teams come in, third party them, Pixie goes down, again,
he gets rebooted, again, and they're still able to have a good game. And so that shows you that
they've come into today completely changed, completely renewed, and they're going to be
a threat for the rest of the day.
Levin, who's coaching these guys at the moment?
Not sure, I remember.
They need like a motivational voice in their ear to remind them they are literally the number one
and number two placing players at the Global Championships from last year,
because many mothers sometimes I'm thinking maybe it's just that confidence that's not that they just need a reminder of the fact that they're two of the best frags in Europe. Yeah, potentially. I think day one yesterday was a big shot to them and what I've always said in fortnight is the best teams will play well on day one, but the better teams will
I'd like to say the only way is up, but nothing is guaranteed in poor night. Let's head over to taco and tucata for game number nine
Look swizzy and pixie knew that they were in for a grueling battle here today tucata
But it is their last chance to try and overcome the odds and see if they can put themselves
Into a position where they are just inside of that top 20 qualmetric for the major one summit land
game one, they got 48 points
game two, they got 76 points
and what they needed today was
an average of 50 points every
single game. Now, if they get
very big point games, obviously
that average can go down.
Having a 76 point game in the
eighth match, I'm liking how
things are looking, but it can
change depending on how that
off-spawn goes. But for
Shark and Teeny, it is looking
brighter and brighter. A massive
massive win, 12 eliminations.
Let's see if that changes the confidence for them
in the early game.
The next game, number nine, is ready to go.
Just general overview right now.
You can see the bus path, transcending downwards,
wonky land.
While we haven't seen that immediate 50-50 off spawn
so far here today with Shark and Teenie's last victory royale in game number eight.
It would not surprise me in the slightest to see them maybe offer a little bit more aggression
earlier on, but for right now, Northern directions before Teenie is actually opted to take control
of this like little castle area just north of the PLI and Shark also a little bit deeper
north maybe their concern is we saw twat kind of poking his head on over from wonky from from
toy box doc so that could be a big part of the reason why but swizzy one elimination already
and we get a chance to revisit what went wrong here for truly just a really proactive
feeling they're out of swizzy and like the desk already touched on they just decided you know
what it starts are actually just start throwing punches and i feel like for truly angonza they're
They're just like, wait, hold up, time out.
When did you guys start punching back?
It's already four teams, though, at Dark Dominion.
So we'll see how it continues as Netton Nathan
had a very big game to kick off the day,
but then fell short in the next match, 47th place.
And now we're here, game nine, third match of the day.
And Netton Nathan, once again, back to back.
Getting eliminated off spawn, coming
from an unleavened elimination second.
This is not what you wanted to see,
but something you do like seeing is Shark teeny playing aggressive.
Honey fishy out to lock in here.
But right now, honey and fishy do have a little bit better control over the
vending machines, but for how long can they actually keep shark and teeny out?
Honey looking to see if he can break some of their wall from a different angle.
Fishy does get a nice shot onto shark.
That's going to drop him incredibly low.
Shark have to wait and see.
Fortunately, they do have splashes to work with.
Tini also, we need to split some of his mats there, so Huddy, Fishy, trying to gather up,
whatever else they might be able to use here to put themselves into a winning position.
But Sharktini, you can tell just how hungry they are for this exchange.
They want to wipe out Huddy and Fishy and they might be able to do it.
Huddy, they're doing a great job pulling back Fishy, actually forcing Shark to wait
Despite taking the big trunk out of Buddy's HP,
he's not going to be able to close in fully just because of the backup from Fischy.
But I might have spoken too soon, Teeny, with a different angle.
He brings down Huddy, who's already so incredibly low.
Now it's all about collapsing onto Fischy, but Fischy making sure it's not easy.
It doesn't matter, though.
Jaws theme song in real life here, Shark and Teeny kicking Huddy and Fischy back to the battle bus.
They were already in 19th place, heading into this leaderboard,
And that's bound to drop even further outside of that landclaw.
Instant change in confidence coming through that win.
You could tell it was looking a little, little iffy.
Starting off the day of them being outside of qualifying range two, Dusseldorf,
they quickly pushed themselves up at the top 15, and now after that win,
they are back in business.
This is the shark and teeny we were expecting in the major finals
after an under the performance in day one.
now they're back in action.
Huddy Fish actually completely ran out of mats in that engagement.
So they were constantly applying pressure, Pablo and Chino now.
They are still in second place.
They've gotten top 10 in every match today.
But we know that they want that first place.
Of course.
Hungry for yet another offensive title.
Gina and Pablo.
They're gonna set up.
They've got a line of sight on to Azza and Iphrosi.
They are gonna take their opportunity
to get at least one tag in,
but there is of course always action
taking place elsewhere on the map.
And Zany, look at this set up.
Hydro and Keto just shut down.
They've been lords of the tunnels for the most part.
Hanging out by their Dominion and other teams
when they hit those bonds
and they hit the replays, Takata.
They're bound, and that's when
what's actually taking place and do their own sort of ambush maneuvers.
And that's exactly the kind of thing that I think even the most experienced
teams would still struggle with here today.
Scary place to be in.
Swiss and Pixie felt at first hand yesterday, but going a lot better today.
Thomas H.C. in focus.
It wasn't a terrible match, but it wasn't what they needed to get
They truly want the first place finish, 15th to Elins.
Now here in the ninth match, I believe it was a mix of kind of a
rotate where Thomas got caught off guard by Syaz and then also just
being a little low on Surge. It's just so difficult when even the most
experienced players in the lobby cannot handle the snap Surge.
They contributing factors to that is just knowing every single duo out here is trying
to re-evaluate, figure out what sort of strategy do we need to do to put ourselves in the best
position to be above that surge metric.
Vika Malibuka.
All we have seen from some greatness from this duo for the most part has been relatively
quiet.
You've done a decent job at at least remaining inside of that top 10 portion of the leaderboard, but it's just one of those instances where you're kind of just waiting for like the what next factor, you're waiting to see the big pop off really from that team.
Let me make her for nine.
Sit in 31st right now.
I mean, 128 points.
They're actually not too far from top 20.
They would need a big game.
But these early game fights, they mean so much.
You just cannot go down here.
I'm not sure if the intention was to go for an ambush here against Idrop and Medias, but
Idrop and Medias have been pretty much on con at latte this entire series so far.
And after the day one performers didn't exactly go how they would have pictured it or preferred
it to. I'm almost much more inclined to believe that there's going to be duos like
they did in Konon and whatnot that opt to maybe try and throw themselves into
Latte's potential area to contest. Team is darned though. Doing more of the same
of what they've been after. Started the first couple of lobbies here today.
Checking out the eastern section of the map and now they're back out west
pretty familiar sightseeing though for these two given that their original starting point
had been to top of terrace once upon a time before that shifted a bit and now without a
set drop they're really just, I wouldn't call them scavengers because I do think that
they do a pretty solid job at cleaning up the teams that they fight and extending their
own positions for rotations and whatnot in the game but it is scary when you have
a team that's just vaguely rolling around the map and you're not really sure where they're
going to be next.
I'm kind of wondering why they switched though.
They got 5th place, 8 elims in the last match, 6 elims, 15th in the match before that, like
it's not like it was going too bad against Zot and Nifrozy, but you know they're just
continuing with their rhythm so we'll see how it does play out.
I mean they're both up right now so they didn't feel terribly wrong either.
Amihari, very rough start.
The day, apparently in 18th place, they went down 29th, 25th.
Not the matches that you would have liked to see
from this duo.
We saw them have some pretty big ones yesterday,
so hopefully they can make a change here.
Now, Raleigh and Reza, another one of our duos though.
All day yesterday, they were having to deal
with a pretty set 50-50 all-spawn fight.
But the scenes have shifted a bit for this duo here today.
It's one thing though to make it to the end game.
It's another to convert that end game
into a performance that would net you points
inside of the leaderboard for that top 20 position.
That's summit one land.
Till you have them shake those though.
I don't think they know what's coming next.
This is starting to get real spooky.
Darm and Demish. Very content right now. Over by Tree Chop Timbermill.
They're healing up. Got the vending machines.
A forge to spend a little bit more time here, but
Chica's and Tilia will catch wind of this duo the moment that they mosey on out of the
buildings here. And it's not just one, but potentially even another duo.
Well, another team might have had an angle in on to this engagement, but instead, Shaco
Steely, they got there after the tags, they want to keep moving forward.
This guy's scrolled almost a hundred points ahead, but alas, against Chino Pablo, they're
just continuing to kind of slowly increase that gap as the matches go on and the
the issue is I don't really see them slowing down.
It's almost the opposite.
They kicked it off with a seventh four Elims
and then a second eight Elims.
They're just doing better and better.
Let's see if that continues as Kami Hari now
half picked up a couple of eliminations.
Things are starting to look brighter
for this duo today.
But they still got a long ways to go here, Takata.
The big thing to keep in mind is that a lot of our teams
that are in that top portion of the leaderboard,
what they've been doing is having at least one or two games netting high
eliminations netting strong placement so it's gonna be a lot more than just the
offhand elimination or two a lot of these doos that are outside of that top
five territory that they're gonna need to start pulling in six seven
eliminations per game strong placement finishes and it's always easier said than
done but for Pablo and Chino this is very good right now yeah they are having a
great time was too much like what do we do with all this we'll see how the zones
end up closing out but on this focus it was a rough night game broke hey I'm glad
to see the amount of damage they've got so far though scavenging group at a
wood boulevard and make them kind of in the south side of the zone it's crazy that
there's still some bitties left over even this guy and scrolling that's that's
their initial starting point but makes sense when do it can only carry so much
Thomas and focus they're really just trying to be wary I'm certain that
they're fully aware of that hill that sky and scroll like to take claims
over surge base on it's going to be difficult to avoid their line of sight
but where there's a will there's a way Vika Malibuka
where did he get going? I'm trying to avoid any congestion wherever possible
I wanted to help you search metrics that we've seen so far here today for
tonight and moneymaker could be a thorn in the side here if they actually
choose to try and force this battle against Malibuka and Vika you never
know what duos might be a little bit more desperate for some of that surge.
Yeah, this is the main duo I was talking about when I said, you know, EU Titans actually
struggling with net surge. It was Melo Bocovico in the last match and when you're 460 above,
you do not want to risk getting tagged in these fights right now. They do not need it.
I'm glad that they're focusing on the rotate here. Sia is scary. It's about time
for them to have a big match if they want to keep up the expectations going into
today. I guess the performance that they had yesterday expectations are a little
mixed. 24 points so far let's see if they can get a big one. First we got to see
Woodzany and Berg decide to do. They've been waiting things out for a moment
that they were going to choose to pop out as Gary and Zaz rolled on by, but not the intentions.
Not just yet.
Dennis and Cheaton.
Decent spot on the edge of zone.
They're just trying to scope out C. There's any teams.
We can edit open a little bit too long, maybe that they can take advantage of, but at
At least for right now, we're going to avoid most of the lobby focus.
Sharktiny 2A1 above.
We saw them get the elimination sauce on, on, honey, fishy.
They have a very good amount of mats, actually.
They can pull some zones here.
This can be another very big match for them.
Fanny wants Cable of the back-to-back win.
It's going to be Sharktiny.
When you compare the both sides of the zone
Kira Kurama just under so much stress right now pixie swizzy just going to take advantage of the circumstance
Big eliminations here for these two
Another one of our dealers that they need every single point they can get 25
And we never said it was impossible for them to come back, but
They are playing with new life right now here today to Kata
And this ninth lobby, this is where a lot of that willpower is truly going to be tested.
Because they can convert this into a great end game finish and it starts with just one more elimination, four more points added to the count.
Every little bit, just kind of sending a new little bit of revival into this duo.
New hopes too. They might actually just squeeze in for that land qual.
and that we won't have to sit out our major one summit land.
We'll have at least one out of three representatives from that global championship team.
In 47th place for 25th today, the issue is despite these consistent performances,
the job's not done. They need to continue having these matches every single game,
but be careful, Tini's actually been knocked. If you look at the bottom left,
What has gone wrong?
Hopefully Shark here is able to pick him up as it doesn't seem like anybody is actually pushing them.
Look, don't get me wrong. Shark and Teenie, they might have had a lot of materials.
They might have had a decent amount of heals there to cut up.
But their positioning was a little bit scuffed.
They were kind of sandwiched between two separate teams.
Article and Kira at one point.
I believe when they main that initial rotation, they're kind of forced to shift towards lower elevation.
Now, boxed up right next to Azza and ifrozy,
we've already seen Azza pop off once here today.
So even contenders like Shark and Teeny, you've gotta be wary.
That word, they actually wanna do things out.
Thomas Spokie is 210 above.
Probably one of the most favorable zones
that they're going to get.
And now, Thomas, so confident in boot chat yesterday
after fact 11 already highlighted it.
Just give me zones and I will show you
champion performance
We'll wait to see just how he intends on delivering might have to deal with I drop a medias nearby though
Thomas focus
patient
Scheming that's for sure
Be fair. This is one of the better kind of search
They've had a hope in that overdrive
Didn't go through wrong with Sharkini
They are so good at getting refreshes when they need it most but it was even a
refresh off the side as in scary are now fifth place team they are not having a
fun day but on the contrary Shark and Tee they're now back in business Spanish
flame unfortunately seems like it's sort of sizzling out right now and scroll
sky 343 above taking shots back the rest of the lobby sort of funneling in
towards their direction won't be able to get the pre-adjust then on to Deanus and for
Neck.
Just get by directly underneath them but when you are this set on surge you can still take
your time, take your moments when you want to strike next.
Thomas focus might be in a little bit of a stir here right now.
Jacobs, nearby.
They're going to drop their pizza box.
Tom's going to carry some of those slices but focus definitely wanted to feel up a
bit for a miscredent too and you have to remember anytime these flowberry and
Miss clouds are seeing teams on height.
Alan's just started looking,
trying to find pressure into those areas.
Minori, he's not careful.
He might get sandwiched in between Shark Teen.
He focused Thomas, but so many teams
collecting their own fair share of eliminations here.
And Pablo making it look too easy.
Where X?
No idea what happened next there.
The pre-edit just too powerful.
Pablo, you know, they've got in top 10
in the last two matches, but it's still not enough.
When you're competing against Skyscroll,
it's just so difficult to push them
of a first-place spot. You mentioned that Taco Thomas H.D. focused, said give us zones.
We won't disappoint. Well, let's see it happen here. And Skye and Skrull pick up an elimination
and now focus on making it toward zone. And with Skye Skrull applying that kind of pressure to
you, it puts out the warning signs for everybody else in the lobby. They start closing off their
walls. They start boxing up. So that makes it feasible for them to just rotate so freely
off that overdriver name but look at the high ground.
Swizzy, Pixie, they've actually managed to escalate themselves up.
T and Yanis, when it looked like it might be there for a moment now,
they'll be forced to just sit in that secondary high position instead.
But how much pressure can Swizzy and Pixie truly apply here?
They've got their work cut out for them.
Tini though, he's taken a tumble.
Shark left as a solo here, front side of zone at the very least,
But still, so much to deal with, so many other teams.
Look at Try and cut them off along the way.
Preparates also got Crap Count.
Turr, trying to figure out which way he even wants to go.
They are not grouped up here, but a refresh is going to come through.
Focus though has to be on getting to zone.
Tom's HD and Focus.
Good synergy here.
Both players looking healthy.
Issue is running low on Maths.
They will need to pick up some elimination
shortly, Sky's Rollville.
Still up good Maths.
But you gotta be careful, Skrull, as he gets cracked.
He's gonna be able to group up, though.
He needs to put down a mouth.
Should be able to heal.
But that forest halt, that temporary time lost,
that could ultimately be the seconds that make the difference.
Will that gonna help shortcut just a little bit here,
stuck inside of his own wooden cone,
waiting to see who he can actually try and close in on for cares.
They had to work to get into their position in the first place on the leaderboard.
And now it's looking like this lobby might be working again.
Oh, Shark! Knock onto Pablo!
Gino! He might just be able to see if he can turn this one around,
but no, he'll have to abandon Pablo.
Not gonna be able to actually opt for that revive.
Shark knows it's only a matter of time for the Scythe,
and comes into play for him.
Gonna wrap around, take advantage of it,
You can tell already the Storm Sickness is a problem here right now for Sharky can't afford to tank up any more ticks of zone
He's gonna have this hope that both of it doesn't realize on the inside of the wall
He still has no materials let the word
Gino with another elimination though
eight builds
Over-degonate effect only one left though for mobility
This is looking like a tough one to close out a lot of solos
Paolo is forced to clutch it out. In the last match now, it's all up to Gino.
He's got three on the board, but it looks like he's gonna have to broach it up.
But Hill has to break through Bill. It's getting a little messy down below.
Will he be able to find a way out and even finds elimination alongside it?
Skye, we've seen your solo clutch potential.
You now have another shot to do it.
Just lurking around. He is going to find a big shot that's gonna connect
all of those goodies in Ultimate Low here.
It's familiar territory, but look at Swizzy and Bigsy.
We knew they needed to have a monumental day here,
and they are making sure to do everything in their power
to find it.
Malibuco, Viko, also another team, looking to try and see
they can pick off Skye, pressure from Bob, pressure
from below, and Skye, squirrel, they are out of this one.
But Chino, still trekking through,
still breaking all these pre-extinct builds.
Frontside for now, hoping that he can stay concealed
away from the team on height.
But you never know.
The moment that he drops, ultimate low, currently controlled, Viko and Malibuco are the ones
who are going to try and cut some players off here.
Viko with that mythic chaos too, swizzy, fakesy, they're just trying to keep their distance
for the time being, but Volko, cringe, they're going to head straight into where Viko Mali
just dropped into, but Viko gets the better end of the exchange, both cringe, so incredibly
low, they're not going to be able to withstand the pressure here, Mali and Viko with
just another extension of builds and materials to work with.
This is the first match today that Viko and Malibuka
have gotten into top 10, and they are not disappointing.
Sheena with a big shot connecting as well.
12 HP is all that's left.
He's going to be forced to drop down.
Issue is a team up above, but they're
going to capitalize on that.
It might be just up to Swizzy.
Pixie is out of shield.
He's out of HP, but we've got our global champion.
Show us what it takes.
Big bunch of these six pizza slices, Malibuca,
or are you gonna be able to outheal it?
It's the vending machine.
That's where Swizzy was headed.
He wants to make it to the vending,
the patch ups, the pizza.
It's the perfect recipe for success here right now.
Pico is haunting.
Malibuca is hoping that they find it,
but it's no good.
Swizzy and Pixie, they have really seemed to have found
a lot of momentum here today at Takata
and this Victor Royale should push them
into that top 20 position.
47th place going into today and now I want to see where that is.
Frankie Levin, Minnie, what a match.
This is the duo we were looking to in the pre-show.
We knew that they needed to have at least five fantastic end games
to be in with a shot of making it to land.
But now, Minnie Miner, it's looking like top 10 could become a reality.
What a performance from these guys today.
This is just completely different.
It's the other end of the stick to what we saw yesterday.
not only are they making those
end games consistently now, not
only have they fixed our
spawn. Now they've found the
winning formula here as well. And
what a lovely clutch there at
the end from Swizzi to make it
happen with the men machine.
Always like little plays like
that doing something a little
bit different. But wow, this is
a huge comeback. And I was
saying in the back if this is
if this is to be like a top
five, maybe for this team is
this maybe the best fncs
grandfiles come back ever. I
can't think of a better one.
Well, one of the better
that people always go on about. At the end of the day, Takara said they were 47 yesterday.
So far today, they've been the number one team, right? They've accrued the most points
or tied at least with shortfall and repairs as far as day two is concerned. And the reality
is that is the type of turnaround they needed to have with how terribly things were looking
for them as far as summer qualification goes. And it's good to see, you know, both
of them sort of, you know, had their impact on this game. Suzy at the end holding
have a couple of the first
successful teams. We've had
a lot of fun with the
last win under four pixie I
know a lot of people are
looking at pixie number so
far in the tournament and
wondering when he's going to
start to show us the pixie
we saw a lot of last year,
and so it was good to see him
again. Have a couple of
eliminations alongside
Swizzy. These guys are
heating up and they're
going to continue to rise
in these standards. Well,
these are two of the best
players you've ever seen on
man as well. So everyone
who's watching we want
So let's head to a break. We'll see you in a few.
Wash me alive.
Oh
Oh, my God!
And I don't know how to feel about it.
You're not used to losing.
Getting beaten?
Not like this.
These players are just so locked in.
Could it be the milk?
Mm-hmm.
It's okay.
Stay there.
the top of the leaderboard.
But things are starting to
shuffle around in that top 20,
and that's where our eyes have
to be on because of qualification
for the major one summit in
I mean, we're not going to
see them again. They are
diamond demons. They did not
have a great start yesterday,
but a few great early games
has managed to take them into
top 10 contention, and you can
see that in 16th. Swizzing
pixie after that victory Roy
out that they desperately
needed in our last game.
Many minor they are now in
contention. We could be
seeing them online, which we
didn't expect yesterday.
Really big news, guys.
Actually, nice not to have
to scroll down all the way
on the leaderboard to be
able to see them. We only
that's what I'm saying. I'm
talking about the fact that
you're really starting to see
the potential of rising up the
standings. We all knew it was
potential. We all knew they had
the potential for it was almost
like a what the heck yesterday.
What's going on here? Really
shocking. They fixed a lot of
their mistakes and of course
now found that winning formula
as well. Really happy for these
guys and actually hopefully
they'll make lamb because
they're a team that you want
to see online. You know
they're going to. Well, let's
take another look at the lead
because that was surely a
focus on Thomas. Oh, and
they've been asking for this.
They've surely been sending
nice messages to seek and
who are my favourite revelation of day two 11.
Yeah, again, we keep talking about them,
but because they keep on surprising us,
not the best of their game so far today, right?
A tenth place, you know, a bit more quiet in comparison,
but they still showcase part of why, again,
they are going to be a threat in this lobby
and that is they can still make it to these end games,
they can still get deep into them and get enough plays and points
to just keep them ticking along in that top five.
And in this case, because of, you know,
the team. They've been able to
move up a spot as well. So
really impressed by these guys
still. Yeah, I'm really seen
them in this position before,
right? This is a completely new
situation for them to be in in
terms of the leaderboard. So
excited to see what they can
actually do in under these
circumstances. Three more games
left for them. That was a
little bit more favorable zone
for them as well. A little
bit further south with or
and there and of course
password Boulevard. So you
know, it's kind of answered
a couple of our questions
about maybe this is a zone
thing because even for Thomas
HD, a little bit closer,
worse performance, but
a little bit closer. Worst performance. Ooh, what's that going to mean for the rest of the game? Who knows?
Guys, I hate to be so dramatic, but that was a terrible game for Skye and Skrull. They only got
eighth mini-minor. Oh, it's just not good enough, is it really? Pack it in, pack it in. No, it's nice.
It's good to see these guys still performing well, even when they're not doing what we
know they can do. But again, it's just another consistent end game. I feel like we can sort
of cookie cutter every single time we come out of one of these games and talk about them.
I'm not worried about them at
all right. Top five is exactly
what they've been doing all
weekend long. They get another
top five there. Unfortunately,
right over drive with house
vision. Pixie was so active.
Skynes are just getting beamed
from above. You honestly
don't know what's going on
with the team, but it's
a great team. It's a great
team. It's a great team.
getting beaned from above. Honestly, I was hoping he'd be able to even stay alive and
maybe squeeze a couple extra bits of placement. But this is the thing. It's a relentless
tournament because even of how good they are, they must be getting frustrated at the fact
that Chino and Pablo just refused to fall off, right? They refused to allow this tournament
to just pass them by. And so they continue to be a threat in this one. We questioned
whether or not they'd be able to continue these types of performances when Zone isn't
putting directly on their POI, they must have just shot everyone up there right now
because this was still the type of game you've been seeing from them all weekend long.
Yeah, lovely to see they're out performing Sky and Scroll in that last game.
That's exactly what they need to do, finding eliminations along the way as well,
which is exactly what we know that they can do.
And they've just got to keep chipping away now.
They can't get to ahead of themselves.
They've got to keep chipping away because we saw it yesterday.
We saw Sky and Scroll did have a little bit of a wobble.
It was their last game of the day yesterday.
They are prone to it.
They're not absolutely immune to having a bad game.
So Gino and Pablo have got to just keep themselves calm,
keep themselves in these end games
and keep finding these top threes like they have been
because it's been really good so far.
And big up to Gino, just because, you know,
we all highlight, you know,
how amazing Pablo is as a solo clutcher.
Gino really putting out some of his best stuff there,
able to get top three from that situation.
Yeah, 62 points difference between first and second right now.
It really is another battle of the days.
I feel like we're so used to them now in FNCS.
But also when you look at the numbers,
I think only it's not much of a distance 4.11. It's very similar when it comes to average placement as well. There is like not of a percentage. I'm very bad at math. As you can tell, I should not be doing this in the broadcast.
But basically what I'm trying to say is it's a very slim difference between these two teams and the next game could make all the difference.
to get into the game. We're
going to have a different select
head into game number 10 with
Taco and to go after. Thank you,
Frankie. It must be difficult.
Pablo Chino getting top 10 every
single game today and still not
enough, but I also want to think
back down to top 20. Putty
fishy now in 21st place. They
swapped again with shark and
teeny will shark is you need
today and we also have no Riley and reason a duo that I'd like to see at the summit one land in Germany
Hopefully they can make something happen here even chap flixie are in 17 a sought I've Rosie
We've got so many of these big duos that are just right on that cutoff and we're getting closer and closer taco to the end
Yeah, and right now it's all about what's going to happen next because game 10 is ready to go
Like you'd already kind of alluded to there at the Cata, we are seeing some of those slight
movements, a little bit of shuffling in the leaderboard.
Top 20 obviously always going to be the prize for every single one of these duos, but it's
also more than that.
Right now, we are looking for a major one, Victor Royale wielder.
And I think it's only a matter of time before we have to decide between Skyscroll, Pablo
Chino, or that Pixie, Swizzy just looking to wipe out Dark Dominion.
It's been very aggressive up against Truly and Gonzo.
So many people were so surprised at the way that this conversation had kind of gone
yesterday.
But Swizzy and Pixie, they have really just turned things around.
Gotta be careful though, Sluzzi has been cracked.
Pixie's gonna have to rack up his eliminations here.
The news is they are together, they got the initial knock and Gonzo now.
Gonna do what he can to bring truly back.
He should actually have time.
So we'll see how this one closes out.
Just took Sluzzi for a moment long in the middle of life,
but Pixie still haven't opened up at a separate angle here.
It really does take a big chunk, but it's just not good enough swizzy and pixie
I'd have taken them a couple moments longer, but they still managed to close things out zippy and dirty though already looking to try and
capitalize
Don't want to give pixie and swizzy an opportunity to sort of heal back up, but a
Couple seconds sooner, maybe that goes into his favor right now, though
that won't be the case, Nebs and Nathan, they have to do the same sort of 180.
Those last couple of lobbies really working against him and Nebs goes down.
Nathan fighting for his life, but it is another wipeout here at Humble Hills.
Exteri and Adapted are just absolutely ruining
Nebs and Nathan's position on the leaderboard right now.
Forty seventh game one today.
48 the second match and then now once again off spawn we're in game 10 out of 12
combining both days and I mean with just two matches left I mean that's an
eighth and we're 11th going into this so they're still in qualifying range but
they were contenders not only top five to be even top three or higher and now
they're just dropping lower and lower but I mean once they make it off spawn
They have had some very incredible performances, so the two opportunities left them hoping that they can make it happen.
It's unfortunately just seeming a little bit more like what would happen to them in some of those Divka finals during the off-season.
You know, they get off to, they know how to be consistent. That's where it hurts with Neves and Ethan.
but they're obviously players and holding their own and finding solid placements.
But gotta make sure that you're dealing it for every single lobby from this point out.
Top 10, there's obviously some pretty big changes
when it comes to the prize pool overall.
It's not just the Axe Champions that's up for grabs here, after all.
Ika Malibuca, just one point behind Thomas H.D. in focus now.
I have three 74 going into the match, they had a very big game issue is before that they
were struggling with surge so we'll see where the zone pulls, we'll see how they play it
out but they can keep enough of pace.
Look when you think about the point disparity between Pablo, Geno, Sky, Skrull it's still
within striking range 62 points is what separates those two right now but what
I'm really wondering is whether Sky and Scroll can anticipate just being able to make the
same place they've been doing.
No one's really bothered intervening with their usual Serge Bay Sky already.
It's like second nature to him at this point.
Take over this hill, just a little bit north of Battawood Boulevard and wait to see how
many tanks you can collect after that.
Key to an high jail
Probably able to see scroll tossing out all of these essential items heels
He's picking up
And what they're really waiting for is just that ambush the sneak opportunities
They know that these two players are separated and what I was going to ask the cotta is if you're Pablo Chino
Do you play for big eliminations or do you play to try and?
and take Skye, scroll out early.
Because I think that's the only way
that we're going to see somebody overthrow them
in first place.
They've got to go down sooner than what they happen.
Otherwise, we're gonna make it into the top 10 every end game.
We've seen it historically.
We've seen it at LANs.
We've seen it on different regions.
It's always riskier to do a drop spot change,
but that's not the only option.
If you wanna take out one of the top teams earlier on,
they know the side of the map they drop at.
They could take a fight.
I think it's from being on game 10.
You don't make any of those risky changes yet.
You play this match out, you see how it goes.
I mean, they've made top 10 every game.
Like you said, SkySporl have not only made top 10 every game,
as well, yesterday, they held the consistency throughout the whole day.
We kind of hope something changes here, but it is not the best position to be in,
Considering, you know, probably, you know, one, that number one spot, you can see the exact point difference there at the top right.
First and second, they are just leading the pack.
It's definitely pretty neck and neck between the top two right now on the leaderboard, but that's not to say,
we saw Sharkantini already have a crazy point jump off of just one big Royale placement.
And that's the same thing that a duo like Thomas in Focus is going to have to replicate.
They've had a really rough time trying to pull things into their favor.
They haven't done poorly throughout this weekend by any means.
They have definitely been able to convert some solid end game placement finishes.
It's just they're going to need more than that.
It can't just be good.
It has to be great every single time from this point on if they want to find themselves
in a realistic conversation bringing home the S-Panelts.
This guy is scary.
I've not matched their performance from yesterday.
There's good news and bad news on this one.
I mean, they've done so well in day one,
but they're still pretty comfortably in the qualifying range
with a Summit 1 LAN, but they want more than that.
They want to prove that they are a top team.
And we've seen how quickly you could jump up the standings with big matches, Swissy has done it, but Saiz and scary, we're going to need another pop-off match here today for them to come back.
But for a team like Saiz and scary, these are both players that have been around the scene for a decent amount of time. They're not, they're not new to this.
But at the same time, you could argue that they were definitely
new to being one of the leading teams in a major one grand finals leader board.
And so how do you think that that's kind of impacted their performance here today?
Because you would think, hey, maybe they can run it back,
but that that just has not been the case.
Thing is they were playing incredibly well yesterday.
They were playing incredibly confident.
And I don't even think it was nerves.
I don't think it was pressure.
It was literally that one fight to kick off the day
has kind of set the tone, the remainder of their matches.
I'm not sure if it's a mental thing.
I'm not sure what's causing them to struggle so much,
but ever since the start of the day,
it's just been downhill.
I don't know, they need something big
to kind of fuel themselves up again.
Get that motivation, that confidence back.
And what we saw yesterday, but kind of high, Joe,
They're going for the play. They're trying to catch Skye's Skrull, our top team off guard. Skye gets fully cracked now down to 46 HP.
Taco, this could be the change that we've been looking for for the Major 1 Finals.
Keto's chasing. Aijou's chasing. They don't want to let Skye get away. He's trying to see where he can escape to and just based off that red head signal.
He's headed straight deeper into the storm Skrull trying to see if he can play catch up, but this is a tough position now.
Kido and Hajo, how badly do you want it?
Because for Sky and Skrull, and this is definitely going to put a huge
convince of their overall game strategy, they might be looking to see
what else they could steal from inside of this surge base, knowing that
there's got to be some white heels possibly stuck left waiting.
But no, Skrull, that was the intent.
He just stole everything.
He took all of the white heels with him.
I'm for keto and hydro. This is just completely blown up in their face
They needed to get that elimination and
Just missing out
It's not gonna put him in a position to where it might be difficult for them to even escape battle at Boulevard in the first place
Yeah, the reverse heist from scroll
Taking the pizza taking all the lights
Yeah, you can see it happen right here
Splashes.
That was, yeah, everything.
And Med gets splashed, and Pete Sages threw it all.
That's a little hiccup for Sky and Skrull,
but I mean, to be fair, seeing that both players
are still up, it should be a pretty easy regroup.
And they can continue on forwards.
But now they're going to have to think about it
for the rest of the lobbies.
That's going to happen again.
Teeny trying to see what else he can pop off with.
the first elimination going to be confirmed here shark looking for the
secondary one and yeah no problem whatsoever following up on his duo's
aggression so a good solid couple of eliminations kicked things off here game
10 but now kind of trailing back on over obloxino we saw them sort of leading
to any strip pretty early on it and they've made sure to head a little bit
further north eight box solid spot though for time being.
Got a zone pulling more north here. I'm thinking of Chap and Flixy right now.
They have been kind of dropped down to 17th place on the leaderboard.
They're just on the cutoff hoping we see them later on have a solid match here
that given the opportunity been given the opportunity.
I'll let you know though looking healthy obviously,
despite having to rotate a little further than usual.
Oh man. It just keeps getting worse though. Over by battle with Boulevard, Skye trying
to make his way on over. Keto and Higel punish very heavily for their failed execution of
that sneak play onto Skye. The bigger problem now to contend with though is that Beludi
Dangy are just hanging out nearby and that's gonna make it so problematic for either of these doos to kind of leave the area
Just feel like the third-party opportunity is still so prevalent here right now as you don't try to escape from scroll
Finds a little bit of vengeance sky to
Doesn't matter who gets the shots both of them clearly want to get this elimination
Settle the score once and for all
I don't know if you consider it revenge, but either way, Sky and Skrull are definitely happy.
Yeah, that's a big point to defend, but for Zengi and Belusi, this is still a little bit
awkward for Sky and Skrull because they could potentially be cut off here.
The zone has pulled pretty far north, and so they've got a lot of time and ground
to make up for an unfortunately team that are already based in better positions, say
they might just catch them when they're a little bit closer to the outskirts of the edge zone.
Let's see if they can live up to the hype though. I mean, we've seen Skyrim's role play consistent
even when zones pull far. So they're going to have to prove themselves once again now
when the gap has been closing more and more between first and second.
I drop Marius as a team that's right outside of the cutoff in 22nd place.
They do need a big match here. They want to make it the Summit 1 land, but for that they have to figure out the storm surge situation.
It doesn't have to look pretty. They just got to get it done. That's really all they're trying to defend right now is both their namesake.
I drop medias.
Little bit of a tough position though.
They can get some good shots in here.
They won't have to worry as much about that surge working against them, but Minori and
Darko's there getting lobbied by every one else.
I drop for Veeble to help bring them just above that surge threshold, but they are still
looking every which way to see where else they could possibly try and get some shots
in.
They're able to bring down Pirama.
That could be a really nice refresh for this duo.
The material count doesn't look bad, but Antikata, it's just elimination points, and potentially
bringing yourself one placement closer where you need to be. Darko's gonna be cleared up though,
by the lobby. Not really many other options when everybody is just looking at the one solo moving by.
Wondering what happened to Vika Malibukritz? A very good zone for them. They're 76 below,
Struggling on maths, rotating late into the zone.
Yeah, this is just not the situation we want to see them in, especially
with how good of a recent performance they just had, getting second with 12 eliminations.
This is a team.
They're always shooting from first place.
They have experience in finals, they have experience in lads.
And the search, being the first major finals
We've had this net search. It's just showing how much it affects everything
Part of the problem though at least for this lobby for Viko Malibuca
It's just the fact that sometimes when you get these zone pulls when you look to go and try and build your surge off of set strategies
Teams just aren't going to be where you originally kind of expected them to be at right there
Everybody's rotating a little bit different ladies
Big surges is it would mark so clearly from the elevation point of the sky scroll
They've managed to come this far.
They've made it into Onkiland.
Their build count, looking a little bit scuffed here.
They'll definitely love a fight, they'll definitely love a refresh.
Thomas is going to lose focus, caught in a little bit of that congestion now.
Trying to see if he can elevate his position, avoid some of the motion underneath, but
Skrull, they got exactly what they were after.
gonna take down Thomas HD and they'll be forced to sit and wait to see what game 11 has in store
but the Danes just continuing to extend the position on the leaderboard. I feel bad for Thomas
to focus. You got Sky and Scroll on one side, Swizzy, Pixie on the other. Really just not what
you want to see going into the zone. Still got two more matches. Clean it up though.
Sky and Skrull, Twizzy, Pixie, they've set themselves up.
Demish and Darm as well.
They've finished up themselves up to seven.
But what I got my eyes on is if Chino and Pablo are going to be able to close the gap in this match.
Oh no, the way that Demish and Darm were moving just then, it looked like they were very interested in the fight that was taking place with reason.
Oh, Riley, a couple of other teams.
Definitely wanted to get a bit more aggressive here hanging out towards that frontside but
Sharktini same intentions 889 above currently on the surge damage threshold with the way
the zone is pulled.
Xoskey no chance.
Instead of rolling down, Grifface will be eating alive at the rest of the lobby but Biko,
Malibuca, buddy all trapped amongst each other.
Viko at least trying to see if he can net
these four elimination points.
He's got them knocked Malibuco,
waiting to see if he can confirm the finish
and sure enough, Viko and Malibuco
while they found some additional points
that they're still below on the search threshold.
And they're not gonna have that chance to recover
at least not as a team.
Viko left by his lonesome does bring down for nine.
Little bit of Siphon, going to pay huge dividends
here for Viko, big refresh.
materials too but the lobby is looking in and it's looking to take down Vico he
doesn't get the chance to even break into that edge of zone cleaned up by the
rest of the lobbies twi cringe overtake now from height take a quick look at
what she knows been up to they were below going into this end game but all
it's gonna take are a few good shots connecting and it could be enough
enough. Why up above could be a potential very good zone for them holds back over to
that hill. Apparently sitting in ninth but for Suisse and Pixie have already proved themselves
throughout the day. We're close to having a devastating land in the sense that our
global championship trio almost all of them could have not made it but the job isn't
They've done the swithy and pixie yet.
They are still in 16th place going into this match,
this fight.
All the solid performances, one more good one though.
They helped them solidify it.
But Shark and Teeny, they also are looking for the win.
They want to go up, cheating and Yanis.
I defeat them to it.
One fun part about whenever the zone's pulling
to this forest territory,
all those stumpy players can just connect
right onto the tree tops themselves
cheating. Janice, the overhead view currently eagle-eyed vision. They've got to make sure
that they are keeping tabs on where secondary height is at, especially when it's a duo like
Shark and Teeny just waiting for the perfect time to strike and continue talking underneath,
but they'll opt to drop a mild layer swap, still hanging out towards frontside of zone.
Chino, Pablo, a bit more of that backside position, kind of wrapping around. I have the
Sneak jump, hunt some mums and sky jump, try to break in,
think actually it's good, Cheeto gets the first.
Pablo helps him get the second sky jump,
and mums he just never set a chance here
as they continue marking their way forward.
Perfect couple of eliminations, it was a duo.
It was looking healthy as well, SharkTD though.
It's their time to strike now looking for not only the height,
but also a couple of eliminations alongside it.
Yanis cheated, put into panic as Cheetin is down to just a sliver of HP.
Yanis left him alone, as now Sharktini have control.
When everything is just so open-ended right now, Skye, oh,
he's going to have to get the job done all by himself here,
early, ultimate, low, but he's just so far away.
Where Hyde is currently positioned, still trying to make sure that his
position isn't too heavily revealed, but it's just not good enough.
He loses a big chunk of his HP, has to use up his last couple of feets of slices even,
overdone grenade effects, at least gonna help him.
But without any materials left to work with, he's got to connect with a big pump shine.
He has to find it now, at least get a little goodie bag out of Yanis's loot.
But still, more problems.
Borey in here, Skye.
Only so many places left to run, looking back now.
Gets cringe in the process though, that's gonna be his fourth.
And the Illuminations just underneath them though, Pablo, Chino, they've scouted out this solo, don't know if they realize it, it's guy just yet but it's guy scrambling, trying to avoid them.
It doesn't matter how, when, or why, as long as he can stay alive just a couple of placements further.
Metias, not gonna be brought down just yet, but it's guy finally cuts short there by Shaco's and that just leaves Pablo and Chino to play catch up here from Ultimate Low.
It was actually Chino who took it down, Sprawl, so they know this is the chance to make something happen.
But they cannot let it go to waste. Pablo goes down. Chino's left alone.
He has more than enough loot, but the issue is, how's he gonna make it back?
Swizzy, Fixie, on the other hand, both players healthy, looking to control low with the pressure for height.
It might just be too much. Pablo gets finished now. Chino has to find his rotate in.
But this is the recovery tour of a lifetime right now for Swizzy and Pixie Chino.
Still deep inside of the storm, but he's gonna take down Medias, waiting for that Siphon to kick in.
He needs it now more than ever. Stunned as a solo in the backside of the zone and Shark and Tini from way overhead,
still applying so much pressure onto all these teams underneath.
I drop force to just try and drop down to ultimate low here,
but he might just drop straight into it. Swizzy and Pixie are out there going for the top.
Shark's gonna be the first one to punch though, he brings down Swayze, now it's just Pixie left the solo clutch scenario, but Shark, Teenie, once they get rolling, they don't seem to stop.
Pixie has height, but it's only temporary. He's forced to chop eventually, Teenie. Shark though, low on materials, trying to get the chop. It's the one versus two.
They're looking for their second victory, Al, and they find it no problem whatsoever. It's a different day for Shark and Teenie.
It is night and day comparing to yesterday, going into today in 21st.
I don't even know where they're going to be on the leaderboard after the second win of the day.
The expectations have been met.
This is the shark and Tini that we wanted to see.
Desk, how are we feeling?
I'm feeling electrified now.
Tini has to have such a strong faith now in this duo.
Not only making it to land, obviously they're going to make it to land,
but also performing online.
He's teamed up with the most talked about player arguably
in chapter seven, at least in the European side of things,
Levin, and now we're getting to see
Shaq really perform in a final.
It is great to see these guys have the day two resurgence,
right?
We've seen a lot of players have a bit of a day two resurgence,
but I think this one in particular will inspire people
because after day one, I think a lot of people
were looking at Shaq and Teenian saying,
hey, these boys, man, their chain might be fake.
I don't know if we can rate them how we really been rating them this season and today has shown that no, these guys are two of the most
time to players. They do have the ability in some of the most difficult lobbies to deliver and to perform. And again, regardless
of what happens now as far as where they end in the leaderboard, as long as they qualify for summit, I think they will continue to remain
a team that people expect to do big things. Yeah, absolutely. It's sort of the same as what I said for Swizzing and Pixie earlier on.
The best teams come back strong on day two. They look back at where things were wrong, particularly if they had a bad day one.
and this is a prime example of that for shark and teeny right now the way they
took height he was really nice as well it was what sneaking up on Janice and
cheated and they did a really nice play to sort of force them down and once
they're in this position there's just only one way the game is ending the way
the teeny knows he has that experience he knows when to go down when to stay up
he knows how to play these play these end game situations and even this at
the end lovely shot I think it was from shark actually yeah look at that
that's beautiful stuff. And I think that should get them inside of that salt fly, which is very,
very surprising for me because going into this weekend, I didn't think they would do it because
of their hospital situation. I'm wondering with this duo and some of the others we're now starting
to see stuff up on day two very quickly 11. I'm probably wrong on this, but I feel like in the
heats, obviously these duos, they're playing for consistency. They obviously it's great to
get victory Royale, but really what they're trying to do is just make sure they hit their
benchmarks in those five games. Now that we have got 12 games on our hands, we're starting to
to see these teams adjust to a different way of playing Fortnite. And maybe that's one of
the reasons that day two is, is it a different side for, for example, the likes of Sharkin
Teenies because you fix it. I mean, there's always, in every grind you ever watched, there's
always a big difference, I think, between how day two plays and how day one plays
is people look to adjust and learn from the mistakes of the first day. Yeah, let's
head to a break when we come back. Let's talk about some of the other big names
on the leaderboard.
Oh, my God!
And I don't know how to feel about it.
You're not used to losing.
Getting beaten?
Not like this.
These players are just so locked in.
Could it be the milk?
Mm-hmm.
ahhh
it's okay
ahhh
stay there
ahhh
I can't hold it back. Now I've got to back. These lines are done. Those
apples are rolling. No bridges. I'm coming. We've got two more games to go
today, and a lot of big-name jurors are indeed bouncing back. So let's take a look
at the leaderboard and see where things stand before we head to game 11. And
game 11 is where everything can truly change. So, as you can see,
Skye and Squirrel are at the top. But again, their win is not secured. 42
the end of the game. We're
going to have a lot of
points between them and Pablo
Chino, who are having a
fantastic day to it doesn't
matter where the zone goes.
These guys are making it to the
end games consistently. And if
we take a look at science goal,
yes, they didn't have the best
game again there. But what a
performance from sky, mini
minor to clutch his way to
even that mid game. Kaito and
Hydra calls him a few
problems, but still making it
here into this end game. And
right here. Doing unthinkable
things really from what we've
seen from players this weekend.
I mean, he's just jumping around
finding shots with no bills as
well for most of that 11 and
just unbelievable stuff from
sky. These are the sort of
performances that can win you
in FNCS. Absolutely. You know,
I think back to some of my
favorite do FNCS wins of
previous years and chapters.
I think back to Swizzy and
Vanja when they won and they
They won off the back of great
performances, but amazing solo
clutches from both Swizzy and
from Vanja. I think again if
they were to walk away here with
the FNCS championship, Sky and
Skrull would be able to say the
same thing. They would win not
just through their sheer
consistency, but off the back
of great clutches from Sky and
Skrull throughout these 12
games. It's just big swallowing
about their day yesterday.
but they are really maintaining and almost setting the pace here now in the lobby.
They're closing the gap. Don't allow these guys to get a comeback.
I'm telling you, this play right here says everything for me.
Right into the box, we're going to just take the fight to your face.
They win, it keeps them pushing, keeps them ticking.
Again, we've been highlighting the solo clutches from the first place duo.
They were the ones that forced Sky into a solo club situation
and then they have to do it themselves with their squeezing out points.
Again, both these teams are just playing at an unbelievable level, Mini.
Chino again showcasing why he is such a tend to play that shot right there, the 180.
Just to hit the one pump to keep himself in it.
This shot onto Marius as well.
He did not see it coming.
I mean, wow, these players are unbelievable today.
Yeah, they're a team playing with so much confidence
and it's not something that we've seen throughout the rest of the season.
Now they're really turning up to 11 here for these major finals
you're going to be able to
get a lot of fun with that
game. It's a lot of fun. It's
something that I really want to
highlight and someone that I
think is super important. If
you're Pablo Wingu and Chino
fan, you've got to be excited
about this. You're a Sky and
Skull fan. You got to be a
little bit wary is remember at
the beginning of the show. We
were talking about their game
three yesterday. It was that
wonky land zone. We said
yeah, that was the game
when they didn't have a very
good one. They got 20th
or something. We had a pretty
much exact same zone right
there and look what they
have done. They found back
from that mistake that
they made in that game
to be on the next round.
So we'll answer those
questions we have in the
beginning. I just want to ask
them so badly about how they
prepared for everything last
night and what they did with
their time. But we don't have
much time to even speculate
about that. We've got ahead to
page number two because all
I have to be on Swizzium
Pixie right now. There were
48th going into today. They
already scored 289 more points
than they did yesterday.
Given that yesterday they
ended on 24 points. This
rise is astronomical if they
the last game and they're absolutely making top 10.
They ain't done yet.
I'm telling you right now, they are not done yet.
They're gonna keep on climbing.
They have found their rhythm in the slobby.
They have found that understanding.
They have that connection.
Everybody's bigging up against Swizzi's performances.
We have seen Swizzi put on all-time great performances
to win FNCS's in previous years, right?
We know his ability to do that.
Pixie again showcased why.
As much as maybe he would have had a forgettable day one,
he's doing enough to keep them in it, keep the story going for them.
And like I said, they're not done yet.
They're going to finish in that top 10 if the things keep going like this.
It almost was with a little bit of disappointment, so, frankly.
It's like, why do we see this yesterday?
If we saw this yesterday, maybe we'd have it even closer to them at the top.
It's like, why didn't they do this yesterday?
But they're figuring out now when it matters most of them on day two.
And hopefully these last two games will be great for them as well.
And everyone obviously wants to win a major one title,
but it means so much more to do it online.
and we know that these are two players that can get it done on land.
Some players already tweeting that they've made it to Dusseldorf.
But again, you cannot know what's decided
until we have finished game 12.
There's still two more games remaining.
Let's get into game 11 with Tako and Takata.
Suzy and Pixie have done more than just find their rhythm
in day two of our major one grand finals.
Takata, these fellas might as well be hitting Machado,
OK, because they are absolutely popping off.
And it's so awesome to see this kind of resurgence
and just them coming into form
for what we know that their standard is typically at,
but it's not easy to have that sort of mental bounce back.
I think a lot of duos would definitely struggle
when they're in that kind of position.
And if anything, one thing that it does kind of remind me
of is I remember, I wanna say it might've been
chapter five, but I believe Bucky Ocus,
when they went from 42nd to like 12th on NAC.
Great that NAC is obviously not EU,
But I do think it's just cool to see duos that are able to overcome those kinds of deaths.
It really is.
I thought it was going to take longer to see Swizzy Pixie get to where they are now on
the leaderboard.
But I mean, they've solidified themselves in a great spot.
The battle bus is ready.
Let's head right on to game 11.
are starting to get very spooky right now, the Takata. Game 11, major one grand finals.
Only one lobby left to go. So if there's anything, many kind of new strategies that
Duos might be wanting to experiment with, it's gonna be one of their last possible
efforts to bring it forth but Skyes, Chino, Pablo, what are you doing next to each other?
Chino and Pablo, they want to take this for themselves, they're not leaving it up to fate,
who's going to be the first one down the hill? Skye beats them to the punch, Chino is down,
Pablo is finished, Skye and Skrull win out with the surprise off-spawn contest.
Are you kidding me?
We've seen this in the Invitational.
We've seen this in various regions.
But now to kick off 2026 in the EUFNCS,
major finals, Sky and Skrull are solidifying themselves
in that first place.
They do not want to let anybody shake them out of it.
There was a bit of trouble in the last match
and now the second place team,
Chino and Pablo wanted to put themselves in that first place spot,
but after Sky and Skrull have just won that fight,
now Chino and Pablo, they are in a world of trouble.
This is our FNCS.
That's all I'm thinking is running through the mines
right now for Sky and Skrull.
A message has been sent and delivered, stamped,
and confirmed.
Pablo and Chino, that was going
their best opportunity to try and close the gap. I don't think that it's going to be possible for
them to run that back here in game 12 because everything hinges upon whether or not Sky and
Skrull have a done it performance here today, Takata. And if we're basing it on this weekend,
that's just not in the cards. It's literally what has to happen though.
Porchino and Pablo, Sky and Skrull would have to go down before the end game. And like you
you mentioned, Taco.
Odds, it's not gonna look like it will end up that way.
Akira, Karama, actually switching up
their strategy a little bit.
They do land south of Frigid,
but now they've started to take an early rotate
to Dark Dominion.
They know how contested it's been.
Hopefully it doesn't mess up
Swizzy and Pixie's strategy.
I just realized Swizzy did go down though,
so Pixie's left as a solo now in a 1v2.
Akira and Karama, this is also
a different sightseeing for this duo.
They've had enough of the north portion of the map that has not been working out for them
So they're gonna play surprise contest, but it's just gonna help out truly indirectly
Truly taking shots now at a kid a kind of low on his shields, but pixie being eliminated
At the end of the day swissie and pixie have done a lot to play catch-up
But it is still so difficult to deal with those kinds of last-minute surprises shark teeny though
So, Huddy and Fischy were already outside of the qualification range and with TD and
Sharp being in third place to kick off match-lobbering number 11, it's no surprise that they look
for the immediate 50-50.
It is a nightmare scenario right now for Huddy and Fischy.
Their hopes of land rest purely on how badly the Shark and TD want to keep them locked
out of it.
and to cut it doesn't matter where he she tried to go shark and tina you're going to find them
yeah they've got one thing in mind look i know a first place finish
it's very great for the e you major finals shark teeny being in third but i think their priority
is making sure that howdy and fishy do not make it to the summit one major land over in doosal
Dorf and so far it's looking like it might end up that way how do you fish you were 25th
going into this match and now getting a limited it off spawn by shark and teeny so many big
changes we're not even in the last match of the day now I've got so many things going
on in mind I mean we've got the top 20 cut off some teams just on the edge there
Noa reason, Chef Lixie, Pari Kami, SkyJob Mumsie.
We also have now Chino Pablo,
hoping that Sky and Skrull might go down before the end game,
but if that does not happen,
the gap between first and second is about the sky rocket.
There's a sure for the theory.
A couple of love depths into repairs and shields.
Still, I'll be able to look back.
They don't get the opportunity to try and return the favor here.
Pears ensure for, call it the start of the day, looking like a real dark horse contender
here.
I don't think many people, if anyone at all, would have really placed them into a top
five leaderboard position.
But here on day two, they're looking to see just how much further they can really climb.
Still realistic for them to possibly overtake Niko Malibuka in that fourth place position
yet again.
guy and scrawled a man. What a start for this duo. They are so close to being our major
one finals champions. It is like, it's like you almost want to say it, but we still just
have to see them fully flush it out. And while it is very, very likely, it's still
one of those things where you never know what can go wrong next because we've already
scene teams kind of pivot their original strategies, testing out some new methods.
Akira Kurama is a great one to reference because normally they've been heading a little bit
south of that Frigid Fortress position, but Vika Malibuka already had some surge issues
throughout the course of the day and now they have to keep trying to figure out how to
revamp their own surge strategies, losing that possible opportunity for the French
duo, Chat Plexi, also kind of stirring around the mouth side.
Flixy, I'd say the best driven player performance in 2025.
Now, they're just on the cusp of qualifying in 15th place.
They have 261 points.
But if they go down early, that could quickly turn around.
They're both just such competent fighters, though.
Chad Flixy, feeling the likes of Twec and Miedro.
They certainly not had the weekend that they would have wanted to,
But experience is experience at the end of the day chap working around gets the big shot start things off
He's your made it closer than what he would like it to be but twack now from underneath trying to see where you can chop
Break through flixie and chap though firmly
Driving this fight
Into their favor and flixie chap they might still just want another four elimination points
And they might just find it onto play doesn't really have anywhere left to run
Chateau Count was running relatively low here, gets a good side-jump off onto Flixie.
Shot to connect, but Chapp's still able to help seal the deal here.
One more time, couple of eliminations going to be confirmed, getting to the mountainside
for right now.
Egg.
Early game for Chapp and Flixie, that's what they needed.
Yanis cheating.
This is a duo that is a bit more comfortable, they are in the top and it's a very qualifying
range now, not much more to do, but they would like to obviously bump themselves up a leaderboard.
More importantly still, eager to represent their home country home pride, right?
It's Germans, knowing it's gonna be.
Manger wants on the land in Dusseldorf.
That home crowd.
Very likely to get pretty loud for those two.
They definitely want to make sure that they need things
on a positive note.
For Shark and Teeny, though.
Think back to where Tappin' Prixie word is that.
There is a possibility that later on, Shark Teeny might
actually end up clashing with those two a little bit
later on, since they are so far north,
playing for the vending machines right now, but I'll have to just wait and see.
Oh, Riley in reason, though.
They've definitely had a much more volatile day too.
Even day one, they were run for their money.
They still managed to overcome and despite dealing with consistent offspons, they have
managed to stay within that top 20 threshold.
Obviously, you want to see two German icons in Dusseldorf repping at the LAN.
The issue is, before the previous match, they got 36, 24th.
The 7th place kind of bumped them up, but if they have another match
where they don't make it into that end game, they can quickly fall short.
And not be in qualifying range any longer.
So hopefully they don't have to take too many risks in this game.
I feel like the overall landscape of the map had to change pretty drastically the moment
that these players caught wind of Pablo and Gino being eliminated so early on, because
that leaves Sandy Script up for contention.
So many other teams might have been able to take advantage of what's actually offered
from that POI, and I think that's why we're seeing a little bit more glittering throughout
Bottlewood Boulevard.
teams kind of just more willing to scavenge those southern sections of the map to make
their way through Panzer, Yapko, gliding overhead, calm before the storm, touching down where
the rest of the lobbies at.
There's a team that lands close to Chino and Pablo, but saying that they're just heading
north already, we don't really know if they were able to kind of capitalize on
that.
One of the three duos opting for this rotate as well, like you said, the comb before the
storm, second or the last match of the major lot of pressure on these players' shoulders.
I have had a decent weekend, still sitting in that 13th position and currently with
only one lobby left to work with here, the Cata. It's pretty sensible to believe that
teams that are within that top 13 should be pretty much confirmed for that summit land
qualification spot. But ultimately, you don't want to leave things up to chance. You don't
want to be sitting on the sidelines. You want to make sure that you play out these
lobbies thoroughly as possible, because it's going to be past two opportunities
that all these teams get. Teeny shark still lingering over by Wankyland too.
So when you think about teams like Epcot fans are opting for those deep Northside Deadside
rotations, you gotta keep an eye out for where Shark and Team are getting up to and honestly
Sharktini, I mean think about the two wins that they've gotten, both 100 plus point games
if I'm not mistaken right just based off the additional elimination, basically 100
point games each time and hey you never know, Pablo Chino being taken out super
early on, Sharktini if they go for the hat trick, things can start to get a little
dangerous for who's actually going to finish in that top two so I was thinking you know they've got
a big smile on their face everything's going well they eliminated fishy how do you have spawn
no we'll have to worry about wonky land and now the second place team that was right above them
has gone down with zero points it's their perfect opportunity to overthrow them server pairs
another team in that top five they're trying to get above Vika Malavuka
So I asked Gary yet to show us the eight out what it takes to continue with their performance from yesterday.
Now drop to eight.
These players aren't even focused on qualifying to the LAN anymore.
They're focused on getting the best placement possible.
Besides, and scary, compared to yesterday, it's kind of been a day to forget.
Hey, ever since that opening blow against AZA, losing 1v2, it's definitely seemed like it's
pretty much put so much hesitancy into how much confidence they really want to invest for
some of these fights.
I mean, we're just not witnessing the same duo that we did in yesterday's lobbies,
but still definitely respect that performance they put in because it's left them in a position
where they don't have to be too pressed over today because at least they know
they've got the Summitland locked in.
Looking over at what Thomas HD and Focus are up to.
Thomas is known for his AR aim and was actually Nebs. They've had such a tough
day as well. Nebs and Nathan. Wonder if both players actually did end up
going down after that. For Thomas HD and Focus though, they are sitting in
6th place right now. Good news for them. It's 5th and 6th. The gap is not nearly as much
as it is from 3rd to 2nd or 1st. So they have a very good chance they can at least
push themselves into top 4.
Did see just then though that leaderboard overview. Darman Demish 7th place team has been eliminated.
They've been very key heavy in today's matches ever since they were able to
pretty much confirm maintaining top 20 but hey everyone want to buy it up more
than you can chill especially when there's so many duels that are also
still so hungry to see how many more placement points they can climb up
learning points, earning pains, growing pains too for Garden Demis here
but for Twy and Cringe, 51 below, currently, Zone Pool just outside Squibbley Shores.
They're going to be harassed now by some of these search ticks.
They've got Miro and JoshBot on the other side of their builds, but can they force
the engagement?
I don't think they want to get up close and personal just yet.
They'd rather see if they can just net a couple of tags from afar.
Be much easier to work with than having to go for a 50-50 and risk placement against
to the team's perk will be isolated and brought down.
That's a big break right now for Twine Cringe.
I'm almost more scared for Harri and Caffee
that are right beside them, considering that they're
19th right now.
Right by the cutoff, but for Repairs,
and sure, things were looking so bright in fifth place.
The damage was there, but now Repairs left
as a solo horse who closed this game out alone.
No heals, no shield, and just one overdrive grenade.
This is really not what you want to be.
I just stayed a little bit too long inside that last zone.
Sure, you get a surge you were looking for,
finding the elimination, but ultimately teams
that are already based in just better positions
kind of keep your repairs at bay right now.
He's going to have to wait for the rest of the lobby
to move first before he can even consider
trying to depart his current Fox position.
Twi and cringe though, picking back up where they left off.
And now there's a little bit of flow state happening here,
okay, another nice little elimination pick off there.
All that matters right now is making sure
that you stay above that third threshold,
but elimination points never hurts.
No, it does not.
This guy in the scroll, they've made it back now
from the stressful early game
that didn't really last too long.
That pressure was quickly relieved.
Viko Malibuka, fourth place right now.
They're trying to push into the top three,
but the way Shark and Teenier are looking though,
it's gonna be tough,
but so far they are looking to be managing
serve better than they have been in previous games,
but you do have to be a little careful.
Being on the edge of zone,
now a very long rotate to go.
Let's hope they can make it.
But it's Viko Malibuka, Takada.
When's their victory royale going to happen?
This is a duo that I'm real surprised that we haven't seen them have at least one win
throughout the matches that have taken place already here today.
And don't get me wrong, top five obviously indicates that they've had relatively strong
performances when they needed to, but I want to see them fully lock in.
I want to see them convert Endgame into a victory royale.
I wouldn't hate to see it better late than never after all, but for Sky and Skrull,
Another elimination added to the pi 0 3 in total 558 above now make that 566 for the search threshold
The point is they've got more than enough to work with they're fully aware of where ultimate high is that and
Fortunately for us. Yeah, a little backseats poor for a neck
Trying to keep tabs on what's in front of him never know what's coming from behind and unfortunately that was just too much pressure
To deal with a break collapse there by sky and scroll
This is not what you want to see if you're Pshino and Pablo right now.
Even Sharktini, if they have a big match, it's going to put them closer and closer to
that second place spot that it's not what Pablo and Pshino want to lose.
It's now 4-0-9 above, but you've got to be careful those players instantly gone down
in a blink of an eye.
Sharktini get eliminated if I cringe and fart.
Shark and Tina they wanted to be set up for that front-sided zone, but sadly that's just not going to go in their favor
The dangers of playing that side of zone when it pulls the opposite way as players are a little bit late to the party being
able to keep up along the way
Hydro and Q-Toe now taking advantage of their position on height
It's a press of fire. It's a press of measures
Shots and dies into a repeal, but at the same time here no knocks just yet. Got a good connection
The original surge point, but how did he go?
They're going to send it.
They want front side mid layer, torping through, very adamant, keeping tabs on everything surrounding
them.
You go now looking for some aggression on to Nero and Joshua.
They find the first can they get the second they might not need it after all the content
to just wait that little bit of cyber materials.
That's exactly what they needed.
A big opportunity for Vico and Malibuca though.
Seeing that Shark and Teenie went down,
it's their chance to get top three now.
All they need is a decent match here.
And for Skye and Skrull,
they just wanna keep expanding that gap
between first and second.
And if Skrull doesn't get caught off here,
it looks like they're gonna be able to manage it.
You can eye though on cringe and twi.
They start scaling their way up the hill face.
Skye, Skrull, if they're not careful,
you never know.
above like disappear and for Chap and Flixy size and scary have managed come
knocking and collect look at Skye's full they were headed so deep into the storm
I think they're looking for a flowberry miscredent they're starting to tarp up
height has no idea they're not looking this far back into where the storm is
at how to go and get another duo that's hurting but Skrull and Skye
they're willing to send it frontside challenge onto height it's just not
high enough though and they'll be forced to drop just a little bit but the
damage might have been done. Hardcore and Qtay had the same exact intentions.
Focus Thomas now gonna throw themselves up onto the high ground. Thomas won't be able
to make it just yet but he's waiting to reconvene with focus. High ground is
being sent into absolute shambles right now.
Larko's gonna be the first one to fall from it but no O'Reilly reason. They got business up top as well.
No one's gonna send it. One more overdrive for Qtay into the skies here but he can't
Take Arraketo, reason and Noah, hundish for trying to over throw Aikido.
We'll finally get brought down though and Thomas, focus, they're looking to be the ones that actually have control and know it's Skye and Skrull in similar fashion.
But Skrull, he's going to be knocked. No one can get a put in here on height.
The bouncy house of chaos, Skye now is left alone. Just the sliver of HB's gone down as well.
Thomas falls, Hijo up top.
They started with height after the chaotic high ground
retakes from who knows how many teams.
Hijo has ended up once again looking to claim it,
but focus is doing what he can to overthrow Hijo drops.
He's out of builds.
He does have the HP and shield advantage,
but without any mats to play with,
it's just making it that much more difficult.
But for all of those teams, it was all like five
different duos send in.
One of them got fully eliminated, the other four left in solo positions now, but focus.
Somehow, someway, he's still up top, Medias and Idrop, trying to see now if they can be
the ones to truly overrule the high ground and focus as a solo.
He'll have to give it up.
He's forced to drop here, Medias, trying to see what kind of refrags he can pick up
after the fact.
I drop.
Want to send it downstairs, cringe, and twilight are quickly behind, but they're not going
to be able to escape.
I drop in Medias' vision. Six eliminations all ready for Medias and I drop.
They knew that they needed a big pop-up performance here today, but Focus lurking?
You could play spoiler here. Why is he looking up? He's not looking next to him.
Focus just needs to get the opening shot here, but he's still lurking, crouching, crawling
around these frontside layers. Instead, he pees as he builds the pickaxe.
He's going to hear a field, but he can't withstand.
The different player altogether has taken him down, but Krimsch does lose his duo partner.
I drop in medias looking to bring this one home. Just one more elimination
Just another set of four points to go to the count cram trying to see what he can manifest here
But he's stuck inside the storm. He doesn't have a whole lot left to contend with here medias though with though
I drop he's just gonna stay inside of zone. He knows only two builds remain
This is the time as he's gonna watch 40 does it again a victory
Yeah, to close things in game 11 for Medias and I drop
18th place is where I drop and Marius where going into this match
They were just on the cutoff of qualifying to the major one LAN and they have now
Solidified a spot with the amount of points that they have just secured
I am almost sure that we will be seeing them in Düsseldorf
What a way to close out the second the last match of the day congratulations
to I drop and Marius. This is what we wanted to see from them. Frankie Levin. Many it's
getting intense. It really is 100% agreed with you there, Ticata. Marius and I drop
worth 30th going into day two. And they're another one of these experienced euros who
understand the importance of that fantastic performance on day two. You're not done
after day one, Mini. No, you're not. And it's really great to see these guys really
rising up the standings. We've been talking a lot about Swizzian Pixie today and
they've just been surging up
the leaderboards, but Marius and
I've dropped they've been
quietly improving game in game
out. And this is really nice to
see them finally pick up that
well deserved win right there.
We saw it for Marius in the
heat. We saw him solo clutching
their way from out top 25 or
something to make it here and
now still doing it in the
major finals as well, getting
that final shot to win 11
really excited about these
guys and really excited to
see the Atlanta as well.
Yeah, I think these guys
thing about fortnight. All
that matters is recency bias.
As long as they end the day in the decent
enough position, we can forget
all the other 10 11 games
that happen. All that matters is where
you end up and the good thing for them
is after that game, they will be in a
much nicer position. And
yeah, again, regardless
of, you know, some of the troubles they have had over the course
of today, all it is is just
learning lessons as they look to gear
up for the summer land, right? One
one of the more exciting parts of Summitland.
I don't think we've really touched on is the fact
that it's gonna be like the first land we've ever had
where the FNCS we just watched
will be played on the same map, right?
And so the lessons they learned throughout this weekend
will be incredibly valuable for them
as they look towards the land.
Well, we are ready to take a short break.
And when we come back,
everything is on the line for the final game
of the FNCS Europe Major 1 Finals.
Oh, my God!
And I don't know how to feel about it.
You're not used to losing.
Getting beaten?
Not like this.
These players are just so locked in.
Could it be the milk?
Mm-hmm.
It's okay.
Stay there.
itself. It doesn't matter
s t
to look at the two duos at
the top and see what they're
themselves 11. I was jumping out of my chair. I mean I was one we were sort of
expecting this play to right the distance between top two and the
third place team meant this was gonna have to be the play at some point
whether it was game 11 whether it was game 12 we typically see this thing
happening game 12 but I understand the thinking from Chino and Pablo to go for a
hit in game 11 unfortunately they are dealing with the best duo in the world
to the top of the world. We
just have no weakness in their
game plan, and so they were
ready for the off spawn the
perfect both of them bunny
hopping as well on the drops
is just disgusting. Yeah,
that's always the risk you run
when you land on another team.
They're going to know that
drop better. They're going to
know that little intricacies
of that drop. They're going
to know how to drop there in
terms of the bus path and
everything and right there,
Sky bunny hopping off of that
because if it wasn't then it
would have put them in deep
trouble there. Looking at the
leaderboard right now, there's
still a long way to go for
Chino and Pablo, but I think
what they'll be happy about is
that Shark and Teenie didn't
have a good game. So I think
maybe we'll run it back. We'll
see.
I'm sure people will be
wondering if they run it back,
especially against Sky and
Scroll. They did well to make
the most out of that game.
Sky, you know, able to get
a couple of actual players.
They finished 11. They keep
keep that gap. I mean, the question is what was the other version of this play, right?
Because I think there will be some people who maybe would argue instead of landing on
them, maybe there's a world where you actually just loop up and you just book it right and
just run straight at Boulevard, right? You know, especially where they can use the
teleporters to maybe get there a bit quicker as well. Like there is a world where they
didn't have to straight up just land on them to sort of get the same effect they
were looking for. And so yeah, at this point now, do you just say, you know what,
you know, you're not going to
be able to do that. You're
not going to be able to do that
at all. You're not going to
be able to do that at all. You
actually just have nothing to
lose now as far as the wind
goes. Let's just try again. Or
do you take a different
approach to it? I think maybe
I'd take the different
approach, especially since
Sky's grow clearly are
mucking about when it comes
to fighting off sport. You
can see that top three
hasn't moved since game 11
and shark and Tina, they
might not have had the best
game, but they have
absolutely dominated on day
I mean, the reality is, you know, this game,
you probably were expecting more of them
because there was a genuine opportunity for them
to maybe even catch up and steal second place away
in this tournament.
I'm almost glad that they didn't
because now it makes the sort of rematch
between Pablo, Gino and Sky and Skrull
a possibility and more interesting,
but you can't deny just how exceptional
Shaq and Tini have had to be today
to be in this position, contested third place.
You know, I started at the start of the weekend
I've been talking about how
one of the best performances
I've ever seen contested was
crazy. So is he mustache last
year and they came forth in
that. And so these guys
currently beating that out is
unbelievable. We're looking at
forth right now. Focus and
Thomas. There are lots of
means online about him coming
second again. It has been
difficult for them at times in
terms of the zones, but it's
great to see them consistently
stay in this top five. And
yeah, really happy that these
guys have been able to
continue what they started
yesterday. Again, the zones
haven't been quite as favorable
of South West zone, barring that one that was battle with that wasn't really about what
it was more south. Wasn't it? So, uh, no, it's, it's great to see these guys popping up.
It's great to see them performing and it's going to be great to see them on land as
well. And I think you raised a great point. Early 11, um, of course, the mess is going
to be largely the same. You have to imagine we're going to be playing on the same season.
So, uh, I think Thomas and focus are a team that will continue to grow and they
will be a prime example of a team that will continue to develop, uh, to develop
in this matter.
And we missed Thomas on land. We want to see this. We're excited to see this.
We're also excited to see scary inside.
I think Jakarta is especially excited to see scary inside.
Their day two hasn't been great,
but hopefully lessons have been learned
as they look towards this sort of thing.
Yeah, at the end of the day, these guys, you know,
they could not play this last game
and they should still be able to walk away
from this weekend with their heads held high.
Everybody doubted them.
Nobody had done anywhere near the types of performances
they've been able to put onto them.
For that alone, I'm excited to see
how this translates onto the land stage for these two.
Well, you know what, guys?
We have waited a long time for this finals.
We had to wait until spring for major one.
We're so excited to head to land in Düsseldorf next month.
The question is, which 20 duos from Europe
are we going to see representing our region?
It's time for Game 12.
Thank you, Frankie.
The big question, not only which 20 duos will make it
to summit one land who is going to end up winning.
We had the off-spawn battle.
Chino Pablo against Sky and Skrull.
Now I did some math.
The difference between first to second place is 88 points.
We've seen 100 point games.
The difference between second to third is 130 points.
I was thinking with the way that went,
there's no way they do it again, right?
Right?
But now, I don't know if I'm going to lose.
They got me on my back.
Why not?
I was like the plague devil's advocate in these kinds of situations because I'm looking at it from our viewer perspective
This has been an absolute showdown and not only that but Cheeto Pablo
You really just want them be hopped this grace y'all off spawn take it back run it back see what happens because
If there's any do that I think about back from that kind of situation in game 11
It would be Cheeto and Pablo the game 12 ready to rumble. Let's see how it goes
I think this higher odds that we do get a run back
versus not
It's gonna be very difficult to get 130 points
But I mean if that you do what was gonna do it shark and teeny is the duo that would be capable of it
But we don't have to wait long
Roll and I don't see Pablo Chino
but that's fine because
There's one other thing to still keep in the back of your minds and it's that for sky and scroll
While they aren't going to be contested off the immediate 50-50 for the Ospawn
There's still an opportunity for Chino and Pablo to try and cut them off elsewhere
It's been very obvious
with
Trying to see exactly how
They can you know reformulate their strategies
Pablo and Gino it's not without it's still within their reach but it's just going to
be a very very difficult game. They've got a lot of work cut out for them. Sharktini
though, Huddy Fishy hurt but still kicking. Shark trying to see if he can change that
though.
If Puttyfishy somehow get like a 100 point game here and win, there's the qualified at
the summit one-hand.
That would be crazy, we know that's the last thing Sharkantini won.
So I expect some aggression from this early game here.
Question is when?
Doesn't have to be quick.
But with the confidence they've had, wouldn't be surprised if it is.
They don't exactly want to go over aggressive, but they want to make sure that they're just confirming the elimination of Huddy and Fishy.
And already, Huddy Fishy, they have fully forfeited the arcade game position, but they're still looking to see if they can maybe try and sneak up onto Shark.
Fishy, Huddy, going for a quick collapse here. Shark, though, getting the better of the change, but it's going to be a turnaround.
Instead, Shark has been brought down solely down to Teenie, but Teenie, he doesn't have a shotgun!
He's only got two pistols and a solver rifle and with no shotgun against the likes of Buddy and Fishy.
I don't think that there's a way for him to escape here. He's going to have to kick it into overdrive.
To beat this one out, we'll manage to get the loot from the arcade game.
Temporary bailout, but still twin hammers versus a couple of palms. That is a
dodgy key to overcome here right now. Fortini, Paolo, and Chino. They find their
first pair of eliminations here. Eight points added to the count. Hanging out
behind the machines that were in the gas station, but Peshka gold. Not happy
with these new visitors. Teeny, limping around wonky land. It does have a chug jug.
but Hutty and Fishy are just so so healthy. Shark and Teenie they have done
so much to prevent Hutty and Fishy at least from entering game 12 within the
top 20 but now they have to sit and wait to see whether or not Fishy and
Hutty have the ultimate type of plot armor because if they managed to
from this position that Takata knowing what they have to overcome the leaderboard in general just to get into qualifying range
That it's just monstrous. It would be insanity for them to actually make it at this point
I'm looking at the calculations. They're currently 75 points away from the top 20. However, it's obviously gonna increase after this last match
So it does look
Like they'd most likely have to end on a win
They're going to have to end on close to one of those hundred point games when the match good amount of Elim's
It's not impossible for Huddy and fishy to qualify for the Summit one major land
But they need an incredibly big match to close this off, but honestly taco. I don't know why I think
We could see it happen
But now what's at stake is that third place position on the leaderboard Thomas HD and focus they were not far behind
behind.
Or excuse me, shark and teeny.
But sky, scroll.
If you wanted to repay the favor,
I can recognize there's definitely a little bit of action taking place
with WSSS Studios.
They won't get involved just yet.
Still just gonna hang around the outskirts here,
but Pablo and Chino,
I think they were looking for Nathan and Nebs.
They might have even been fighting somebody else entirely.
Either way, several other teams.
kind of just surrounding the area now everyone really looking for any little
bit that they can they can gather in this last game because it is the last chance
this is all they have to try punch them to get for that battle bus onto the
summit one land yeah final opportunity Thomas focus right under
shark teeny on the leaderboard they have a great opportunity to take third
place from them now. But they cannot be taking these big shots in a 2v1. So now they are going to
kind of regroup, focus up a little bit here. It's going to be very hard to get second,
but a third place for Thomas HD. It's nothing new. Yeah, this kind of kicked off here though, Burke.
Maybe the first elimination confirmed there for focus and Thomas. That's
It's part of the reason why they feel encouraged to try and see if they can pick up Zany along with it, but yeah, Zany's not going to make it easy.
He's obviously willing to make them work for it, and if they're not careful, he might even punish them pretty heavily.
The last thing they want is even further delays in their loot.
But Malibuco, Faco, faded by himself, trying to escape, but not good enough.
Vika and Malibuca with two eliminations over at Frigid Fortress, and they'll be happy to collect.
I was asking for that pick through Royale. It's always difficult to come by, but you never know
with Vika and Malibuca, and you also have to remember Vika and Malibuca definitely within
that third place striking range too on the leaderboard. 100 percent. Thomas HD is focused
to get third place. It's gonna be Thomas' 12th heard place in the major finals of the top 5-5,
or top 2-5 times. Living up to his history here. Gino Pablo. It looks like they're making a bit of
a different rotate here, Taco. They're looking for Skye and Skrull. That's all they're doing.
They're waiting to see where Skye and Skrull are at, but what's crazy is that Skye and Skrull seem to have a very similar mentality.
They might have been looking for Gino and Pablo because check out where they're at.
Skye and Skrull, they're nowhere near Gino and Pablo.
They're kind of just stuck waiting, trying to figure out, hey, I thought these guys were supposed to be here by now.
Don't look like they built surveys around this area, but instead, all that'll present itself
for their troubles might be near and dodge-plot off in the distance, but I don't think Geno and Pablo
won't waste any more time. They're still Serves that they want to keep tabs of.
And yeah, a little bit of an unfortunate fizzle out here though for Geno and Pablo,
but they're definitely trying to be proactive.
Kemi, Hari, there's a team that had a very strong start yesterday, kick off the EU major
finals, but today, they just haven't quite found their grasp.
Currently sitting in 15th place, they are in qualifying range, but they will need a
few more to confirm it.
Geno Pablo continuing to play aggressive, continuing on their hunt for Skye and
Scroll unfortunately for them. This is not the duo they're looking for but they able to pick up more of the nations
Nothing wrong with that
That's really the thing here for Pablo and Chino. I want to play catch this guy's call
They're gonna need eliminations anyway on top of the win. Oh, it's a Pablo just watches Dean is barely
He survived an initial club shot from Chino, but still
Armed in ready Chino and Pablo
They've got three. They're looking for the fourth.
For Neck trying to do what he can to delay.
He's in that 23rd position just outside of Summoned Land Quality Range.
And Pablo Chino are gonna douse the flame of Venus and for Neck.
That will not have the opportunity to try and represent Poland at the Germany land.
land, but hey, game is game at the end of the day.
You're the gotta players are doing what they can to put themselves in the best
position possible.
Well, I say the last thing you want happening in the last match is having
Gino Pablo keying you while they're on the hunt.
Chat Flixie.
There's another team that maintained kind of like that 14th to 17th range
for a very long time today.
All they got to do is close it off the solid end here no reason similar
situation in 17th place they've been consistently staying in the qualifying
range but the issue is all it would take is one bad match and they can drop out
let's hope this is not gonna be that bad match it's too close for comfort
17th right now I just way too many other duos that could possibly overtake
take and they don't want to risk it they just stick true to their strengths I'm
sure they'll be able to find themselves in a position where they're able to close
out the end game and net themselves enough points to confirm their
representation at someone land but look at Thomas and focus finally getting their
conclusion over at riptide Zany has been eliminated Zany and Burke no
longer rolling in this lobby and we'll look back to see what started it off
That's just focus overhead, bump shot.
That's just, you know.
Well, it takes.
We've seen that a few times from focus.
Nothing new.
Sky up above now with Skrull and Sandy Strip.
Hold on.
Hold on now.
It's kind of funny to see a little change in locations
here with Gino Pablo.
He's walking the alive.
Yeah, it's obvious why the roof didn't over here.
Just funny to see.
The sky and scroll, I mean, all they gotta do is continue what they've been doing as the day's gone on.
Ooh, Suzy Pixie eliminated. They were in that 13th position. I do believe they should be able to stay within the qualifying range.
Skyjump and Momsie on the other hand. 20th place. Duo's eliminated. Look at 21st and 22nd glove sheet.
Max, so little to overcome, but it does add a huge amount of pressure here to Kata because
one misstep and it's over. And they're already so close, but for Skyjump and Momsi, their fate
rests exclusively on the performance of the teams in 21st and 22nd right now.
Dorco's minority, they ended yesterday on a third place with two eliminations. The
The problem is since then, today, they've only had one match.
I was gonna say made it to the top 10,
but they literally got 10th.
The good news is it was the most recent match.
So if they can replicate that here,
it should be enough to solidify themselves a spot
at the summit.
Say that, but they're in the same boat
as Glebchi and Prox.
I mean, both of these teams are at 224 points right now.
They are tied even for 21st.
and Skygem Monzy, they've got a little bit of a buffer zone.
It's just not one that they can feel super great about
watching the remainder of this 12th lobby.
Sky scroll though, right, make their move.
They're kind of, I think we're about to see
a highlight real performance out of sky
and scroll here, so I really hope I don't jinx this,
but they have a very comfortable position right now,
overhead of second place.
I'm not going to call it like a victory lap by any means,
but there's just a certain type of like confidence.
You know, you can kind of see like this right here in a player
when it really like envelops that mentality of we, we are first.
We are the champions.
And I feel like everything is just alluding to it.
The only thing that is chasing them in the rearview
mirror right now is Pablo and Chino.
So if either of those players go down,
I think that's where we'll start to see that that extra gear
come into play from Sky and Scroll.
I might have forgot the Huddy Fish script though.
The first place final comeback.
Dokes aside, I mean, it's not a joke.
It is very possible.
Sure.
And repairs.
They've been performing incredibly well
until two previous matches.
They just haven't been able to keep it up.
Drop down out of the top five into seventh place, very close behind eighth and ninth.
They are going to want a pretty decent performance here. Pablo Chino though.
They're going to need an extraordinary one and on top of that, to take out Sky and Skrull before they start racking up placement points.
Yeah, but they've already got four eliminations and they're looking to try and add some more to the count here.
to the count here. Chatflixy, Vika, Malibuika, a couple of teams kind of just stuck between
each other on the edge of zone. Skye, scroll. Might be able to get advantage of it, but
first they got contend with the likes of Volko and Fringe. Players not necessarily sorted
out with their sort of metrics. For Vika, Malibuika, they're trying to wait things
out. One more splash remains. Vika does have a few slices of pizza, but the lobby
is looking inwards and it's focusing solely on their position. The last of the materials is
getting burned through so rapidly the pressure, relentless, catphalixy. Part of the reason why
they're receiving so much of the Malibuca Vika, they cannot escape 100 above now, dropping
and the constant fluctuations, it's just got to be paddling on the nerves right now, but
They are a team that can definitely hold steady, but they are going to need a refresh at this stage.
A lot of mats, a lot of heals have just been used up from that lobby focus, but it could have been worse.
The player got knocked, they're still in zone.
And focus is no longer on them.
Tracks above she though.
They are, like we mentioned, tied right outside of that qualifying range.
262 was the cutoff going into this. It's gonna get higher than that
As you can see they're currently at 236
The good news is 407 above they have mats they have a loadout
They have what it takes to play this end game out all this left is to do it
A little bit uneasy here now four chap and flixie
Malibuca started to get a little bit more aggressive.
Check out Darman Demish though on the other end of things contending with Chino and Pablo.
Chino and Pablo have a whole lot of surge but Darman Demish they have been rather aggressive.
They don't mind going to the occasional key opportunity here so Pablo, Chino, they'll
have to keep their wits about them.
They don't want to lose sight of what's just in front of them.
feels like their their arms already extended they're reaching out trying
grab sky and scroll but their fingertips just can't connect with their
shirts just yet they've still got so much left to go and scroll and sky cruising
right now through the low ground very familiar territory for these two they
have been one with ultimate low and just made it look effortless to play
through. I think as they happen continuously kind of controlling that
low grab throughout the day so you know Pablo Chino they're gonna have that in
mind when they're looking where to play themselves as now they have also gotten a
head on low his focus has to be careful he's been cracked Thomas on the other
side of the zone trying to group up is gonna be able to but the glove she has
gone down cracks is left alone not enough points yet to qualify a solo
clutch to the summit land. It's what's left for cracks here.
This guy took a mom to almost want to close their eyes, but it's like you got to make the cracks in your fingers.
You want to see what happens to these teams that are on your heels for over-throwing your position.
But that summit land wall, Pablo, Gino, they're chopping it the poor right now, trying to see if they can bring
Darman and Demish down, but even with the pressure from overhead and underneath, Darman and Demish,
They're strong.
It's for right now, but Gino, Pablo, they still want this.
They still might be able to go for it, too.
Or they might just choose back off, look back, wait, see, is anybody else gonna run across
our screens?
What they're trying to find?
It's looking for a healthy duo here, but be careful, Skrull has gone down.
Skye is left alone.
Now you can almost guarantee Pablo and Gino are gonna be happy with seeing that on
the feed.
This guy is not.
Oh, but it's...
You need to be solo clutch opportunities, but Chino's also gone down.
Taco, both our first and second place team are now left to solo's.
But the big thing here is that it's better for Skye and Skrull.
Pablo and Chino, they need it to be together.
They need it to confirm as many eliminations as possible.
And now the world rests upon Chino.
Stolgers is watching Pablo try to bring things home for the bearing.
still it's just so much to overcome here and Sky on the other end of things in a
nicely set up position he'll be able to help bring down Cammy but he's gonna
elevate he just wants to get overhead Pablo having a much rougher time trying
to navigate his way through this elevation shift and Sky take a moment to
pause a moment to breathe Pablo he still needs more eliminations he needs a
strong placement on top of those eliminations and I don't know if the
he's gonna come by him.
Skye, scroll.
Even if he gets eliminated here,
Pablo left as a solo.
The odds are just so heavily against him.
And Skye, he might be able to net something more still.
We saw him in the last lobby.
He had four eliminations all by himself.
And I think it's not unreasonable to lead.
He might be able to net another one,
but Pablo has no idea it's Skye that's underneath him.
Skye, gonna find a secondary elimination here already.
He's gonna keep maneuvering straight towards that front side,
but there is no moment to pause and think if you were Pablo,
he's just gotta keep things going.
Both of these players, Pablo and Sky,
they've solo-clutched countless times.
They are more than capable of doing it,
but like you said, this is much more in favor
for Sky and Stroll now,
already with two Elimps,
Matz are running low, gonna choose to just farm
as many places as possible,
but he might knock on Pablo's door.
Is he gonna take the pursuit?
Sky now in the zone, POP.
The flow barrier missed as the shot comes through
onto Minori, that's a solid refresh,
but the issue is, didn't get the mats.
Pablo now left with 12, they's gonna overdrive back in.
Sky is cracked, the pressure is on.
The problem right now for Pablo is look out for
Sky's man to come, even with that elimination
they fall one after the other,
but our major one grand champions,
it's already been decided here,
Ticada, Skye, and Skrull have done enough.
They will be wielding that Axe of Champions
and headed straight for the major one, Summitland.
It's a huge moment for them to celebrate.
A couple of young Danes just really coming
surely into their best of forms.
But Malibu, Gaviko, they don't find their victory
out here.
It's Nathan and Nebs.
They wanted to make sure that they wouldn't miss out
on this Summitland.
And with this victory out, they're guaranteed
to hold on to their position.
Congratulations to Sky and Skrull, but as we just saw,
this is exactly what Nathan and Neves needed.
They were so far up the leaderboard going in today, too,
but then dropped down to 18,
and now finally with that win,
they pushed themselves back up,
solidifying a spot at the Summit 1 land.
That's it for Taco and I in the casting booth.
We have to head back over the desk to close out the day.
Thank you so much to Taco and to Carter and huge congratulations to your FNCS Europe major
one champion Sky and scroll 11. They were the favourites coming into this competition
and they showed us exactly why all weekend. Amazing. Truly an amazing weekend for those
two boys who have been a part of EU for years now together as a pair. And when they burst
onto the scene you know back in 2023 there was all these conversations about
you know this being the future and we're waiting to see them you know really
solidified themselves and they've continued to play with each other they've
continued to find success and to see them finally have their moment mini it's
taking some time but it couldn't have come better or sweeter what a weekend
consistency personified for these guys not just this weekend they've had one
a great performance. They've
had a great performance in the
past as well, but they've worked
through it. They've worked on
their mistakes. They continue to
develop, and most importantly,
they've continued to develop
together, and this is the result
that we get to see here in
major one of this year. I'm
sure this is only a sign of
things to come as well. Look
out for these guys at the
as well. Look out for these guys at the major one summer and of course the future majors.
What's especially exciting for me seeing these guys this weekend boys is the fact that they're
not just Mr and Mr consistency. They are literally a team that can get flushy exactly
when they need to. They don't take unnecessary risks. They pick up elimination after elimination
and they're not a stranger to a victory Royale 11. Not at all. Not at all they
They haven't been throughout this weekend and they won't be at the major one summit either.
They are going to be the team to beat from EU commiserations to Chino and Pablo.
They really made it a show because even at the start of this weekend, I predicted Skansko
to win but I was saying like, I think they're just going to run away with it, right?
And if it hadn't have been for Chino and Pablo and the way they played and rising
maybe above their expectations, it would have been just that, right?
Because they really are the only things that are stopping it from being an absolutely
ridiculous gap between Sky and Skrondor lobby and for that I will always be grateful. Last year
I felt like these guys were the best trio. I know a lot of people you know who looked at other players
and and other people but what really inspired me about these guys is just how they took the game
by storm they found success not playing how everybody else was playing and so when we came
into this year many and everybody was going all those people who found success and you know the
old surgeon the old matter the old way of playing competitive fortnite all those people
going to continue to find success in 2026. That's not been a question for Pablo and Chino because
back then they showed they could do it different and they've continued to show that they can do
it different. Last year we talked about their fragging powers and their ability to just,
you know, outalim everybody in a lobby. This season they've showed us they can be as consistent
as the most consistent team in the world in Sky and Skrull and for that they are going to
be a team to watch out for for the rest of this year. Yeah, they have to go out here,
they're holding their heads high.
I mean, they put on an absolute display of excellence
this weekend, and you're right,
I think it's unfortunate for them
that Skye and Skrull were just that good
because this is almost an FNCS winning performance in itself.
The way they were able to navigate these end games,
the way they were able to sort of silence
a lot of the doubters, a lot of the haters
coming into this weekend,
and I'm sure a lot of people would have had
some very valid questions about their performances,
but coming into it, when it matters most,
when they have zones and when they don't have zones,
they continue to deliver and big ups to them
for making it really interesting at the end.
and then trying to find them in
game 12. They really made
aspect with a spectacle for us
all to enjoy. So many of these
duos, especially on day two have
made things extra exciting
props to focus on Thompson also
shark and teeny because these
are new duos going into chapter
seven as we revert back to
duos format and I can only be
excited for the future of
these duos as we move further
ahead in chapter seven many.
I mean, there's so many names here that we had big expectations of even focus, of course, Thomas playing with Thomas as well.
One of the newer players was one of the players that the analyst break down on day number one of just like these are the new new players and new talent that are rising through.
And maybe focus is going to be one of those players to keep looking out for in the future because he can really hold his head high after this weekend.
There was a lot of situations where focus was the focus point of this year.
They were trying to solo clutch.
And of course Thomas went down and he held that he was able to hold his own in those situations Levin
So these guys can be really proud as well
I'm sure they would have liked things to have got a lot better for them
But still a really commendable performance. We get to watch Thomas back online and that's why I'm happy
I'm gonna be smiling all the way until we get to
Dusseldorf because this man has been one of the biggest names in EU for years
He has showed us in so many finals
Just how impressive he can be and the chance to see more focus, right?
We got a glimpse of focus that land, you know, in previous years.
Now we get to get a full taste, a full course menu of their performances
over the course of the Summit Land.
And, you know, as much as again, they would have wanted this weekend
to go better for them, I'm sure, and they would have really thought
that they could have made the push to potentially win it.
They're going to be in a good spot going into Summit as far as, you know,
I think in all of Fortnite regardless of region and shock and teeny. I'm so glad that they went from 21st on day one to fifth on day two, as if there was any doubt with these guys. But these guys bring the drama, not just in terms of the elimination feed, but also there are off spawn mind games 11. I can't wait to see what happens in
They will be incredibly happy with the result of this, right?
Because at the end of the day, when they realized they would be contested by Hattie and Fishi,
the number one job was, let's make sure we qualify and let's make sure they don't.
And they have achieved that. They were successful in that.
And so now, Flutinian Shark, look, I'm sure Shark, you know, going into this major
would have been hoping that this could have been his crowning moment, right?
Last year, he burst onto the scene, couldn't quite get a good result in an FNCS, no matter how hard he tried or who he played with.
Everything looks set up for them to come into this season and really compete till the end against Sky and Skrull.
And even though that didn't quite happen for them, the performance, especially on day two, the ending result being a top five while contesting a very good team at Wonkyland.
This is a spectacular performance and just adds to what will be an amazing career as far as resume goes for Shark and Teenie Moving Four.
that's what we're doing. We've
been talking about sharks so
much about the future for I'm
so sorry. Jump back in there.
Mini minor with your thoughts.
I'm just excited to look at
page two, but many please
conclude on shark and I was
just going to say their highs
are as good as any team in
this lobby and I'm sure will
be as good as any team in
the doodle Doof major one
summit lobby as well. They
are a fantastic team. Lots of
people had their eyes on them
when they got together for
this chapter, and it's like,
yeah, this is a team that
have so much potential. Well,
to see what the players are
going to do. Who knows what
things are going to change if
they are going to be
unconsested, but definitely
wants to look out for not just
the this year, but for the
future of shark special. Well
let's see the other 10 zeros.
Who will be representing Europe
at the major one summit in
Düsseldorf. We're going to
see nebs and Nathan and up and
down day two for them, but so
pleased with the boys from
Britain. I drop a marriage
from 30 after 13. Jesus
and just holding on all
safe. Well, I come back, they did the job. We knew that after day one, it was going to
be an uphill battle, but they climbed that mountain and we will get to see these two
incredibly talented players playing on that stage in Germany. Look, let's forget about
day one, Mini. You know, you know, let's sweep it under the rug. We ain't gonna talk
about that. We gotta just look forward to what does this team look like at Dark Dominion
to see them at the land. Yeah
and what I'm excited for and
particularly for these guys is
the fact that they were able to
respond so so well, but they're
going to be able to learn now.
This is almost like an extended
version of the break we got
between day one and day two.
It's going to be learning
about what went wrong,
learning about how they can
improve, and they are one of
the best teams at that with
all the experience they have
with all of the prowess that
they have when it comes to
a land environment. I expect
these guys to be performing
incredibly well, but I
expect them to be able to
do a lot of their work
I expect these guys to be
incredibly well. Like you said,
forget about day one. Did it
even happen? Very quick one
before we head to our winners
interview. Noah and reason have
also made it to disorders. I'm
hoping the German fans are
going to turn up for these two
and we are going to be so
excited to see this man on
the broadcast as well because
we have sky joining us for
a winners into hello. Congratulations.
I can't hear you and I don't
know if that's my system or
it's your system. Boys, can
you confirm? I can't hear. I
love to hear it. I love to hear
my I'm so much wisdom to give
us about about the glorious
performances. We go. This guy.
I think you've had such a hard
fought for weekend that you
know the sound has been an
after what if you are able
to get anyone to help you,
that would be amazing because
we are dying to talk to you.
spoke to after the F and the Fortnite reload elite series and something that scroll was saying
about the fact that these guys they weren't focusing anymore on reload they were just
focusing all the way for the W. And Sky, I don't know if you could just hear me there.
Yeah, I can hear you. I don't know if you can hear me.
You can hear me. You know, we can slightly hear you. We just need production to turn
you off and out. But after fortifying for the reload elite finals, does it really
case of just grinding now and focusing on the major one, major one performance.
Yeah I mean we just turned like over to FNCS major one and like put all our time into it and yeah
we prepared the most we could.
Sky, it's been a great year for you guys. You guys have dominated and you know almost every
competition you've played in. Talk to me about your relationship with Skrull. Everybody wants
know you guys have been playing with each other for so long, what does he help you to do? How does he help you, you know, reach the highest you reach as an individual as well?
I think like Skrull is a great player, he's one of the best I feel like, and we've known each other for years now and like I would say we're best friends almost and it just helps us when we play as well because we can know what we think when we're playing like we know how we play so it's so easy just
follow each other, get the refreshes and just play the way you want to.
I want to talk about how today ended for you guys.
I mean, Game 11, Chino and Pablo tried to land on you,
tried to contest you, and then Game 12, they tried to chase you around.
What was going through your mind, both in Game 11
and in Game 12, that's trying to close out?
I mean, in Game 11, we had an idea they would come,
but we didn't know, but yeah, we've just prepared.
We've been playing Ospawns for like hours during the week and yeah, we were ready for the Ospawns.
It looked like you changed your approach in game 12 to hunt down Pablo and Chino.
Can you talk about who made that call, what you decided to do there?
They obviously actually knew, like when we knew we weren't going to be conned, we knew they would like try and loot up and then key us.
So we decided to completely switch up what we wanted to do and we just tried to avoid them,
go around them and we ended in Sandy.
I'm curious now, who was snitching in the Danish Discord and letting you know that they might
monetize it.
You had the intel from somewhere, clearly.
Now you have obviously the championship, okay cool, I understand, you have the championship
now, right?
You're the champions of Europe, you're going to be representing us and all of us
will be supporting you guys and hoping you pick up the trophy there at Summit.
Looking around at some of the other regions, maybe NA as well, is there anyone you're looking at?
Who do you feel like is your biggest competition, you know, across the pond?
Are there any teams in particular that you take inspiration from,
that you look at and are really impressive right now?
Um, I mean, over in NA, there's like all the big teams, there's Peter,
there's Flakes, there's Bowls, Acorn, Coldrabbit, like,
just for some it I think there's going to be so many teams that can be contenders to win it all.
So that's Sky, just one last question. You've been playing in FNCS for a few years now,
when you started out, did you imagine that not only would you be winning a title,
but you'd also be a favourite going into the first LAN of the year?
I mean no, I mean it's a dream, it's what I've been dreaming of since I started playing so
Yeah. Yeah. Never been heavier.
Well, the dream's not done yet.
Congratulations to yourself and to Skrull.
We cannot wait to see you in Dysartoff.
Thank you very much.
And don't forget SkySZN underscore
if you want to find Skrull on social media.
I'm sure he's also going to be tagging Skrull
in all of his celebratory posts as well.
Guys, what an incredible weekend.
Let's take a look at the jurors who have qualified
to represent Europe at the major one summit in Düsseldorf.
I don't know if we can say it's coming home
because normally that's only attributed to the Brits
but you know, it could because Nathan and I
have qualified, haven't.
Yeah, that's not getting too excited.
You know, I'm gonna, I didn't do the day, right?
When we talk about the regional pride, Europe,
we're on top of the world right now.
You know, after Global's, you know,
I don't really want to hear any other region
chatting to me right now.
But I think one thing that I'm very excited about Mini
is we are sending some really good teams
and some really good players to this night.
Oh, some really, really great teams.
I mean, even looking at some of the teams that didn't have
a great weekend compared to how we'd expect them to,
looking at Shark and Cini, of course, having a really, really
good comeback, getting into that top five in the end.
And of course, of course, Swizzy and Pixie as well.
These are teams that, yeah, they may have not
had the greatest weekend in terms of, especially in day one.
But when it comes to these LAN environments,
they're going to come into a world of their own
and expect big things from them.
It's going to be absolute chaos as always,
it's going to be the best kind. It really is. The PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf is going to be
electrifying on May 30th and 31st. Don't forget to get your tickets. We cannot wait to see you there,
so don't miss your opportunity. In a couple of hours' time, the North American broadcast will be
here. They'll be selecting the next heroes who will be competing in Germany, so make sure you
don't miss that one. Levin, hang on a second. That chin stroke, you've got a prediction?
No, I'm just very excited for NA. I mean, it's been a fun watch so far. I think we've
seen similar things, you know, similar parallels between EU and NA as far as certain teams may
be on the performance we expected to do better and other teams walking through and looking
incredibly consistent.
Many minor, any predictions?
No predictions. All I'm going to say is, um, jeez, Lou, he, sky and scroll. What
a performance. I mean, unbelievable. I guess you could say the sky is the limit
for these guys and they won't need to be scrolling down the leaderboard much longer.
I'm not sure if you can see this, but it's not a big deal.
It's just a bit of a mess.
I don't think I'm going to be able to see this again.
I'm not sure if I can see this again, but it's not a big deal.
