you
You
I'm not the bad guy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I can't hold it back
Yeah, I'm not the bad guy
These guns, I'm so
Those troubles, I'll roll them
No bridges, I'm so
Claiming peace by your hands
I'm telling
I flagged off my city
Not really, it's just kidding
Many times they take them from me
They don't raise it on me, on me
My car's your ride
You're livin' in my eyes
Bet you bet on my eyes
It's high to fly
It's time to stop
The minute I come at that
Don't need to stand
To your consent
To give it a hundred percent
Because I'm a beast
The love with your head
I say you want it all, yes you want it all
Make a move, don't stop everyone else
Gotta take it out, yes I want it all
Oh, don't put all your thoughts in the back
Just step, step, step
Been bouncing back
Yeah, I'm bouncing back
Yeah, yeah, I'm bouncing back
I keep on the back
Yeah, yeah, I'm bouncing back
It's just a mission
I do bend in my seat, no commission
I like a side quest love, a position
A political position that makes lose under transition
Yeah, yeah, they talk, and we talk what they say to me
I'm true to us, they're my daughter
The way that I pinch you is itch
I'm full of war, 90s talk, between your feet
I'm out of space, I had a piece of this different game
My mind is bleak, bleak, bleak
I don't want to love, I don't want to love
Make a fool, don't stop, then I wonder
Gotta take it out, then I wonder
No one's done more, yeah, my feet is the notion that
Take a step, take a step, take a step, cause I've been back
Oh, just like that, maybe you can crank up back to back
Oh, oh, just like that, I see a blood in my future shot
Oh, I know what a drink you can go
The dark comes outside my eye, my mouth, my throat
It's ugly, it's fishy, and sometimes it's boring
Now watch me, can this go?
to be a part of this. Yeah,
we've never done one of these
before, so we're going to sum
up what this means for you on
the desk. Don't worry. We're
going to have eight electrifying
games tonight. Sorry we're not
going to have a going to have
last year is of course we have to have Mini Miner at 11 to K. 11, you're in Bucharest last
night. Are you still in Bucharest now? No, no, no, I managed to get home in time. I was
never, ever, ever, ever, ever going to miss out on the second chance qualifier. You know,
we had so much fun last week, the last chance lobby I wanted to do a last, last chance
lobby. So I'm here. Mini Miner, are you regretting St. Louis on the last broadcast? You could
I know I thought it was the
last thing I was going to say.
I thought I was getting like a
great exit from Asia one and
look here we are again.
I already had my bags fat for
do so. Don't have to unpack
everything and now we're here
again, but it's great to be
back. It almost feels weird.
It's like going to school on a
weekend like it doesn't feel
right that we're here, but we're
here anyway. Well, it's
lovely to be back with all of
you tonight. And you know
what? I know there's going
to be some really happy
fans out there because if we
bring up the lobby list, you
will see some names that
obviously haven't made it to
Düsseldorf yet, but the
Yeah, but the fans really want to see them and who wouldn't want to see Mr. Savage Levin?
Oh, I think everybody wants to see him. He is similar to me right now where he's a, you know,
not currently at his home base set up, but he's managed to make it work and they've managed
to qualify for the lobby. And of course, everybody wants to see Mr. Savage there. When he and
Velo joined, I think we were all optimistic about the potential. It was kind of like
Like Luster as far as the results have gone and you've seen Velo sort of rebranding to
this whole no remorse skillet, right?
He wants to show the world that he's going to make up for the wrongs and the mistakes
that have led them to have to play in this lovingly.
Yeah, but I'm really glad that they actually stuck together.
I mean, it didn't go perfectly for them when it came to this major so far.
It hasn't been the absolute dream major that I'm sure both of them wanted, but
I'm sure from both perspectives, I'm sure Mr. Savage could have easily thought,
oh, maybe I'll play with someone a little bit more experienced, and maybe Velo thinks
I'm not sure if I'm going to
play it. I'm not sure if I'm
going to play it. Maybe I'll
play with someone who's also at
my sort of level of up and
coming nature, but I'm really
glad they start together. I
think they're a fantastic team.
Of course, landing towards the
south side of frigid fortress. I
did look on the map. It says
they're uncontested. I went
on velo socials. He said that
they're getting surprise con.
And then I looked in the
replies of that sweet in that
post and everyone was saying,
Oh, don't fall for it. They're
not getting surprised. Con. So
I think I've actually fallen
for it. I don't know if
there's a prize condo not
I'm going to be at the Eiffel Tower right now, Mr Sandwich, because he wasn't here today.
We'll have to get some people in chat to go and investigate that for us and let us know
as we bring back the lobby list and talk about the deal and do this as a new duo for the
second chance qualifier. And actually, I have to say, Mini Minor, I'm surprised that
the deal made a switch because he was incredible at the last chance qualifier last week,
narrowly missing out on Victory Royale, but Fampy was a great clutcher too.
It's it was an interesting split. I mean, of course, you know, they didn't quite make it all the way to the major finals
They did make it through to the last chance qualifier of course
But here they are today now the deal playing with the due
Interesting to see what these guys can do of course they have very different stories
But when it came to this last chance qualifier 11 this solo clutch from the deal was absolutely unbreakable
It really was he was rewind in the years
He looked like his chapter three season three FNCS winning self, you know
So he has five, he ends the game here on eight, he just didn't stop, right?
It just looked like a vintage video end game clutch, but it resulted in a second.
And unfortunately, it resulted in a second in a format that last week only rewarded a win.
And so it meant nothing at the end of the day.
Today, with our six games, it is just a regular set lobby, right?
It's rewarding that consistency.
So if he can have some more games like that, if they can come through
some more clutches, it's gonna do them a much better chance of being able to qualify for that.
And it's ex-German team-mate reason
it's already qualified for Düsseldorf.
So how great would it also be to have the deal on LAN as well?
If we turn our attention so, boys, to page two of the lobby list,
you'll see two icons of Europe.
And it would be such a shock if these guys don't make it to Düsseldorf
after having this second chance.
But they have been underwhelming so far this season, Evan.
Yeah, you'd have to be honest and say that it hasn't been what you'd expect from two players
of their caliber, of their history, of their stature.
And the reality is, mini-minor, there will still be doubts as they go into the lobby
today, right?
They're landing obviously over towards the north of the map, they're gonna be landing
that sort of the A-coin boat spot, right?
And the big thing with these two is they potentially will be contested today.
And so in a lobby where, you know, the game's a finite, you really wanna be
to give us up the best possible
chance to just find some momentum.
If they end up having to go down or
spawn a couple times here in there,
it isn't going to go well.
We're talking about this being the
second chance qualifier, but
really, for both of these guys,
this is about the 18th chance that
they've had this season to actually
turn up and show what they can do
because they're two incredibly
experienced players, both of them
not having the seasons to
remember so far. But I mean,
what we're seeing here is two
of North wonky land. The issue is, is if we look at the sort of narrative of this season,
getting two players that are very experienced coming together that have had so much experience
together hasn't worked out. So really intrigued to see actually what happens with this sort of
concoction of a duo here. Yeah, we cannot stress enough how strange it would be to not
see these guys go through despite this season so far. If we look at their previous grand
finals placements, these guys were consistency personified last year, mini-minor, and now
now we're risking not seeing them at the first level of the year.
Well, I mean, look at these results in 2025.
It's absolutely unreal.
First and second at the 2025 Globals,
they both managed to get a win, of course, last year as well.
And it's just so, so strange that we're talking about these guys
in the context of not making it, of course, the major one finals.
Now having this extra chance to qualify to the summit,
it would be a real miss to not have them there.
You're having it ultimately, right?
The game has changed since last year,
as far as the meta and how, you know, the formula for success.
the silver lining for these two though I would say is that there have been times where this
season in set lobbies, they both look good, albeit playing with different teams at the
time. But I think early on in the season there was still a bit of hope that Van Yen
walks when they were playing together and Moustache and Pixen playing together in a set
lobby can get you a good enough result if needed. And so hopefully they still got
a bit of juice left in the tank.
By the way, I also want to shout out that paying and what to back together.
So definitely going to be keeping eyes on them in the lobby tonight as well.
We're going to be keeping our eyes on truly and Gonzo because this is a
jury that qualified to Grands via the last chance qualified last week.
Obviously getting their victory royale.
That's what got you through the LCQ, but they weren't able to convert
this into consistency once they made it to that stacked lobby 11.
They had to settle for 34, but they're going to potentially be up against it tonight as well.
These guys were the catalysts for one of the biggest stories in the major finals last weekend.
They surprised contested Twizy and Pixie at Dark Dominion and on the first day they gave them a rough ride.
They led those guys to finish way down in the standings and many they had a couple of games where it did look like this was gonna be the team that
everybody had expected them to be. You know, two very talented players who have looked like they are on the rise as far as their ability and their results go.
I mean, it's not like I'm
not going to be able to
get into the game. You know,
it didn't quite pan out the
way after day two and Suzy and
Pixie actually like set up in
their gaming chairs and locked
in. But my hope today is that
I'm contested that dark
Dominion. They should be
good enough to make it for. I
feel really good and
confident about these guys
getting top day today. Yeah,
what's very valuable is of
course they can use that
experience that they have
from that dark Dominion
fight. They know the sort of
situation that could happen.
They know what could happen
around them teams rotate
and using those telepores as
a course as well. They
sort of understand that
to see what our casters
tacker and Taka have to look
forward to tonight. So let's
check in with them. One of my
favorite things about the style
of lobbies, the Kata is that
you just never know what to
expect. What starts off as
initial drop points for a lot
of these do is could end up
changing very rapidly as the
matches actually draw on and
not only that, but a team like
truly in Gonzalo. It's hard
not to be excited for them
given their performance in
finals. I know that I've
in finals. I know it didn't pan out for anything past 34th ultimately, but at the same time,
I mean they've looked really solid despite being such a new forming duo.
Yeah, and I'm also curious to how the qualifications today shake up the drop map
at the Summit Land. We have other duos like Podesaisato, they're at Frozen Shard,
West of Frigid Fortress, we also have Latte Landing, Ping and Wax. If we look at the
the summit land drop map.
Currently,agers Richel and Rete Cooper
are both at Latte landing,
and then west side of Frigid Fortress,
we have Chat Flixie and Eyedrop Marius.
Now, they will only be playing on day two
of the summit land if they do qualify today
against the bottom 25 duos
that didn't qualify in day one.
So the drop map can still change up.
It really depends on which duos end up qualifying.
So we'll just have to wait and see.
Thanks to factor in here today to carnival for right now. We got to kick it back on over to Frankie in the game
Thank you very much you guys now tonight in the lobby
We're gonna have a whopping 18 French players and given that we didn't have any French players on land in Leon at the global
Championships, we really want to see some make it through to Germany and one during the gentlemates fans in particular
We'll be cheering for our Akira and Karama. They couldn't make things work
However, 11 at the weekend, they came 39th in grand and they contested tonight.
Yes, in grand's mini, they landed at the Ice King vault.
They were contested, surprise contested in some of the games.
They didn't know how to handle it.
Today they're landing at Batu with Boulevard and they know going into it, they will be contested.
But the key difference today is they are landing at Batu, which if you were watching FNCS last weekend,
You will know that this is the POI that gave us our FNCS champions in EU.
It gave us our FNCS champions in NA.
And so these guys have the blueprint.
They have the formula going into today.
And not only that, Mini Miner, Akira and Kurama will be coached by the EU FNCS champions Sky and Skull.
For six out of the six games today, Sky and Skull will be in their core,
giving them the guidance, giving them the technique, the tactics,
everything they should possibly need to succeed today they have.
and so Akira and Kurama should be expected to qualify for it today.
That's going to be absolutely vital.
I mean, not only had, of course, Sky and Squirrel
been landing at that drop spot for the entire of the year,
but of course, remember that game number 11 on the weekend
against Chino and Pablo,
they know how to drop here better than anyone.
And in Akira and Kurama's case,
lots of hype about them going into this major final
that we just had on the weekend.
A lot of people had them in their top 10,
so I saw maybe even in the top fives as well.
So they're definitely a team that a lot of people expect to do well,
that they have this off
spawn coaching and off spawn
sort of expertise in their
call. Um I think the big
question is now it's just
whether they're going to be
able to actually get over the
line here and get into that
topic because they definitely
have what it takes. And of
course we want to see the
gentlemates on that. Of
course we do and we also
want to see what's going to
happen with Sky Jump and
Monzy. They came 21st in
Grands. It was so close
between a space at Dusseldorf
and not and tonight they're
going to be trying to make
good on that promise we've
seen so far many minor. The
are they going to be contested
because Cor and Silo, who we
thought going to be contesting
them, keep changing their drop
spot. What are you reckoning is
going to happen here? Well,
yeah, they keep changing their
drop spot. So currently on the
map, they're not contested to.
We don't actually know
necessarily if they are going
to be contested, but they have
to be very, very careful of
that possibility. I personally
think they will be and I think
this is a drop spot that we've
seen throughout the major
finals. And of course in the
LCQ and in the heats to be
a very hotly contested drop
spot, particularly when you look
at teams like shark and
shark and senior and hutty and fishy X these guys had a little bit of success both sides
when coming out of this drop spot but now when we can then sit down into six games each and
every one of these fights is going to be so so important but I think 11 they placed 21st
in the major finals they were the best team to not qualify through of course if you look
at that so they should I suppose be going into this a lot of confidence.
Yeah I would expect them to right at the end of the day it's incredibly fine margins
you know and you know if I was them I would sort of have them the mentality of
going into this lobby where to get to the stop. We shouldn't have even been here was only you know,
amount of small little circumstances that mean we are here and then now one of the better spots.
Yeah, there's been a couple teams over the course of last weekend that struggled to play out of
wonky land. But I think contested or uncontested there should be an understanding of what they
need to do here to find success. And I think we have two incredibly time to play super.
Love and we know that wonky land is a drop spot worth fighting for. But we only have six
games tonight if you are a duo like Skyjump and Mumsie and you are having trouble do you decide to
just risk going elsewhere or do you just commit to the bit? I mean I feel like that depends so much
on the team right if it's a spot you've been landing at or season long then sure if maybe it's
not and you've been landing somewhere else you might want to go back to where you're comfortable
there's so many different variables that come into factor ultimately though you just don't
to be in that position. Just
win a couple of spawns get to
good games and then you ain't
got to worry about it.
Mini mind. Are there any dark
courses in this lobby tonight?
I think there's a few. I mean,
I know that there's a few names
that we just talked about that
like are going to be sort of
top tier teams that we need to
look out for, but I'm looking
at the map right now. I'm
looking at money maker for
nine. They have a very, very
good performance leading up to
today. They've had some
decent performances. They've
been shown that they can
win as well. So of course,
that doesn't necessarily matter
high placements is going to be super, super valuable. So if they can get one early, they
should be okay.
Well, in just six games time, we will be sending eight more duos over to the major one summit
in Dostadov. So let's get started with game number one over to you, Tako and Takata.
Thank you guys so much. And yeah, Takata, knowing that it is six lobbies for these
duos to ultimately try and confirm themselves as one of those teams placing through consistency.
I mean, top eight, that's all you need in order to make it for that battle bus adventure at the major one summit land.
So a lot to play for a lot of stakes and a lot of nerves I think that could be factored in.
Yeah, and I'm excited to see what switches up.
I know many Lev were talking about kind of the wonky land.
Are you Sky Jump moms?
You can test that?
Are they not the duo that was contesting them?
We've said, all right, I'll go to Squibby.
It's Cora and Syla.
And they're like, actually, I don't think I want to go to Squibby.
I'm going to go to Rip Tides.
I don't know how many times you can switch it up in like five minutes, but I wouldn't be surprised that game one
We go back and they're back at wonky land another one mini was talking about mr. Savage fellow good news is we don't have to
Wait long so the battle bus is ready. So let's head into game one
Doesn't matter if teams want to go on tour when it comes to drop map expectations at the end of the day
Today things are eventually going to be decided whether it's by the duo's themselves directly
or by the responses from the teams that they might be having to contend with, taken a view
over by what's taking place north of the map, Vanya, her stash.
The desert a great job kind of highlighting expectations surrounding this duo, two individuals
with so much rapport in EU, and yet just have fallen short.
And this is their last opportunity
to beat the Frog Watch charges, Takata.
They've really got to take things and stride here today.
It would be devastating if they don't make it.
Another big duo we've highlighted,
and even just a big DOI, Battlewood Boulevard.
Now, Levin mentioned the Kira Karama here,
getting coached by our EU Major 1 champs, Sky and Skrull.
But there's another two teams in the surrounding area.
As we can see, one of them on screen now.
But it also picks and ghost South Boulevard.
So if they get into a quick engagement here,
the third party is a danger as well.
And I might have been seen in other duo here.
Look, you can always have coaching recommendations.
and it's not going to get much better than when you're dealing with a major one champion
as that voice on your, you know, in the back of your mind, but for Akira and Kurama, it's
one thing to hear some advice.
It's another to be able to deliver on that advice, and I think Battlewood Boulevard
has also shifted pretty dramatically in comparison to what we saw during the major one finals.
Just a handful more teams that are probably much more likely to get very scrappy early
on everyone trying to really gauge whether or not they can really put their
footing down but I don't know if they are contested just not by you you would
expect a bow unfortunately on the receiving end most of the damage here
just the last couple of ticks of HP mom's he's gonna be able to bring him
down no problem human now left to scramble it's either fight or play for
your life and it looks like they're opting for the retreat element but
but doesn't seem so they're gonna be able to go too far here.
Monzy and Skyjump absolutely beaming on this chase in.
Comes as no real surprise here
that they wanna close things out.
Locky land fully in control now by Monzy and Skyjump.
They were prepared to be contested
and they did not let down our best performing duo
in the finals to have not qualified to the summit land.
They literally got 21st place when top 20 qualify.
This is a duo that has what it takes
and they're showing what they're made of.
I wanna find consistency.
So studio is also heating up though.
Teams looking just kind of filter in after the fact,
see what they can steal
from some of these early engagements.
The open pica right now.
Holding. Last player. But there's really nowhere left to run. You know that the collapse is inevitable and, in fact, the matter is, sometimes you just have to hope that the rerunning game 2 goes a little bit better here. They went for the lurk attempt, but I think it just had a much better angle approach.
It's part of the risk involved when you're going for these early aggressive plays.
Confated now. Just signed to solo as well, shut up to them. Squibly Shores now. This is one that kind of had a bit of surprise cons and what's interesting is Confated don't actually drop right onto Squibly so they are rotating through but Boblo or Pingu, sorry, isn't a bit of chaos here at Bobnit.
They need to find a way to try and what he is in their favor, but Dexie, Fido, they're looking to get off to a hot start here.
Going for map, Dexie, just looking, knows that he only needs one more conversion and the shot will connect.
Being going to be the first one brought down, walks shortly after a very early dismissal for two well-known EU vets, but Fido, Dexie, they didn't come to play.
They they are here to contend for one of those eight positions on the leaderboard
So what we would expect for ping walks. I mean they got 18th and heat too like you said they're big
contenders on the EU region
Five more matches for them. We'll see how they can play it out the Lucian's angie
They were close as well in the finals they got 28th
So we'll see if they can make something happen here
Casper and Frism though, another one of those duos on EU that you wouldn't necessarily anticipate
to be in this current position.
They've had moments of strength, but now they're really going to have to bunker down here today.
When you're trying to go toe to toe with Zangie and Belucey, certainly a duo that can draw
things out.
But this far northeast of the map, a little bit less likely that you have to be worried
about a third party intervention still.
to pass for Prism definitely trying.
To very much avoid those kinds of
various situations content right now
to just hold the overhead views.
Angie and Beluce they might just
be more interested in party.
That search we saw just how many
issues it caused for some teams
throughout majority of that major
one finals teams have had some
time to look to review things.
And yet it rather invest the
match to disengage over everything
else right now so things will ultimately just fizz a lot for the time being painted.
Those look like the zone this match so far is favoring
sandy strip area so for the teams here for the moment they will be happy the stroke of Kiro
has a good amount of teams in the surrounding area as well but gotta be careful when you're
looking for those tags you mentioned with net surge you cannot let yourself get hit.
The good news is if they don't have to rotate too far, there won't be as many risks that
they do have to take to make it to zone.
But when you have so many elevated surge bases, it's always going to play a part in influencing
the way that other teams will rotate, especially knowing that Harco and Gide are also holding
a separate surge base right across that sandy strip.
So, it definitely costs some issues in terms of allowing teams to really have those real
openings, finding, uh, assisted search tags.
All across the deal, no Jew, not the site that you want to see, or German icon right
now, but the deal making the most of the situation, we know that he can definitely
Watch out when left to his own devices.
Problem that Takata is that he would very much prefer it
to just be able to go for a reboot opportunity,
but Akira, Kurama, they also seem like they need to spend
a little bit more time inside of the storm,
reforming some materials, even looking some whites
back at their surface.
The toughest part about this too is Silence
pretty much heading to the opposite side of the map.
So, you can spend too much extra time here.
A more word for the deal is he has to go for the reboot and kind of get the scraps as he makes his way back
But we'll see what Akira Kurama can do.
The thing is you have to remember they're getting coached by Sky and Skrull and Sky and Skrull whenever they played from this position
They would stick around until fourth fit zone. That was usually the departure point for them and for Kurama and Akira
They are very much set up in a similar position to do the exact same. They might even get some tags towards fury
It's gonna do a look to rotate you don't hydro though. This is a big investment of materials
It's very reminiscent. I think rapid is one of the first that comes to mind over on the NAC region
You can always tell exactly where he's coming from just because of the way that he would burrow
With these tarps across the map
But I joined keto
sometimes sacrifices have to be made and there is an ample amount of brick on this rotational
pad so it's not like it's too steep of a cost for them but it does let other teams know that
hey there's someone moving here.
Banya Mr. Mirstach.
I'm very excited to see how they perform today.
I mean, looking back at 2025, we had Banya, Pixie, Marius,
second global championship, one major, two.
Now both of Banya's trios have already qualified to summit.
He's the only one that's left.
The stash coming from being that global champion now.
The expectations are there.
Let's see if they can live up to them.
Probably going to take the portafilter right now.
It's a sort of dominion, a hawa, the devil, spending a little bit more time farming some
of the leftover materials.
Okay, loadouts, got a pizza to work with, so it's not like these early storm takes are
really going to apply too much pressure.
It's more so about preventing yourself from being overly exposed.
You start making your way to that next edge of the zone, get us, get an head.
and it's hoping to get some of the opening shots though on summer stash
on yeah but they're already on the move
Aute landing kind of just makes it all that much more easier to rotate in
so they were dropping west of wonky land and actually
going to be kind of contested by kilba graval but
you know they ended up going wonky so i'm wondering if cindy gear has
actually had the drop full on con or if they kind of just forced kilba out
because they just beat them at the drop by far, but either way, they're making their way in now and
their eyes are on this match.
Rather expend a little bit more time utilizing the campfire though just to
preserve as much of their white heals as they can. I also know there's another duo
that can potentially intercept them so they're trying to remain out of sight maybe get some
some of the opening shots.
Other teams though, also stuck inside of the storm,
surrounded right now, Basha and Howley,
way more company than what they would like
with this much local foot traffic.
It's no surprise that they would rather opt
to be a little bit more patient, play the fishing game.
A lot of survivability, depending on what exactly
they're able to fish out, but it also means
that other teams in the surrounding area
probably gonna keep a very steady eye
on what those two get up to after the fact.
Okay, I saw if the deal drew are actually back there,
so the deal did get the reboot in.
Now rotating on through is gear us in that.
Gonna take some pop shots.
This is a super pad,
so if you're able to combine it
with the flow very overdrive,
like they're doing here,
it goes over 300 meters in the sky, as you can see.
One of two on the map.
They should be able to get all the way
the zone from this. 136 above, though. Makes me a little nervous.
Yeah, things are a bit fickle whenever the surge is just about even. I think that's a
good way to look at things when you're sitting underneath that 200 above threshold because
just one, two tags and you're right back in the red zone of being underneath that
surge threshold overall and you have so much more restrictions imposed upon you
Once you actually start to get into the zone because teams are just not giving many opportunities for
the comeback
Because nobody wants to try and find themselves in a similar position a lot of times we're seeing teams
You should use the box until the last moment
Take some of those later rotates
Or even some of the earlier ones. It's just it's just very difficult
To get your bearings picks and ghosts though another one of our newer duos
came together specifically for this tournament and now it's about seeing
whether or not they're gonna be able to break through and find their way on the
thought of us for use of doors and they got on Kong South out of wood boulevard
so see if they can make use of it seven above for Pigsofsky and Sarin
this is where you start feeling the pressure because there's a lot of
teams rotating in they're able to get ahead but Pigsofsky is just not
Landing the shots that he needs to land instead. He is the one taking the damage
This way you have to be careful
You say that but pick softy instead and they're ahead of everybody else right now, but deal
also still trying to break in with you, but
It's quite losing a little shield here still manages to maintain just slightly above that damage threshold
even a look back, see what kind of action was really being involved here, and some of the lower
elevation points. Ju doing a great job, just to take advantage, tagging up some teams that were
probably ahead of them, but now they're caught. Part of the problem that's involved when you are
one of those last teams rotating in and shooting at the others ahead of you, you just make yourself
an optimal target for everybody else in the lobby, especially those players that just make
it out in front of you for the deal. I'm going to use a medkit even just to try and withstand
some of the pressure from this net surge right now, but they're going to have to take a fight
and they're just so weak before they start it. Dil is going to have to connect with a huge shot
here, but he's already getting tagged by the lobby. He doesn't even get a chance to make it in
XC now. Looking back towards Jewel and while there was some of the pressure applied against
Spooka, this is just another duo that's kind of suffering victims right now for the rest of the lobby
Then we'll get a chance to make it in pressure from surge and the other players just too much to overcome
Great job from Jude there. I mean big shots cost both players to get eliminated there on the rotate
It was a tough one though with everyone looking back
Potosai and Saydo, they've got on-con frozen shard, West of Bridget, great drops fought, great chances
get top 8 today. I'm happy to see them 260 above and 8. Let me get 8 in the end game already.
Howdy, Lucia as well. Looking incredibly strong. One of our top performers leading into today.
At least trying to see if they can take over a little bit of elevation here. I'm best
Kind of early on, but no one's fully in control of I just get lost in Zed and the man definitely
still got their work cut out for them, but it's just not enough.
Jakata, the surge is battering away at their HP still.
Only one small shield potion left for Zed in here, and his primary concern right now
is, how do I even cover this ground?
He's only got, he's got one at his disposal, trying to cut in hopes that there's
There's something left over in this surge base from another team and whether or not
he finds any kind of utility yields, it's still feeling more and more like a delay over everything
else right now.
It doesn't have time to pick and choose.
He's just got to get some shots sent out right now, Scoser.
Mild victim, but it's still not enough for Settin to actually stay standing here.
But Lucy and Sangy though, just so isolated from the rest of the lobby, but Mr. Savage,
here we are.
Rim Mores just trying to see they can make it across here now
They want to make sure they stick towards that front side of zone
What a well for them so far. You know I Joe toes getting a little tagged up here my savage and
velo
Continuing to try and keep their wits about them
Velo so much to prove in today's competition beer today to Takata because he is someone
where when you look back at the performances that actually fanned out,
kind of, he was, he was, he was very hopeful by how he felt in terms of his actual performances.
And unfortunately, kind of, talking up, checks that the results
didn't necessarily cash out on. But today could be different.
Today could be the one. This is the last chance for this duo to try and make it in.
But sitting underneath the surge, they got to get fragged.
and odds are in their favor.
They were triple conned and he's now on con.
It's that EU legend with new talent duo,
but as quickly as you're above search,
you can go below.
They're feeling the pressure now
as Zone has pulled back towards them.
They have more than enough new heals to hold it out,
but it looks like they will need to go
for an earlier refresh here,
trying to find any opening from the players
rotating through.
We still need five more players to go down, Vanya and Moustache.
Another duo struggling with their surge.
38 below, one good tag and Vanya's going to be able to find it, but they're still too
barely nestled above and Vanya sending himself straight into the hornet's nest.
Too many players surrounding them, Vanya and Moustache are going to be taking out
high ground, significantly collapsing now in all these teams and these lower layers.
Velo left as a solo here now, won't have the chance to go for the Rages yet,
But, getting this elimination onto Hydro, that's just an extension of Lifeline.
Fellow, does have overdrive grenades, so he'll at least be able to make his way towards secondary height,
playing the middle layer, trying to see whether or not he can prevail.
He's gonna need more eliminations, though.
Every bit of placement from this stage on is where things matter most here,
because it's all about the consistency today.
So, even if it's as a solo, you want to be able to get as much position as you can in speaking of position.
Dexy, they got some of the best right now in lobby ultimate height players flying overhead, but doing a great job playing defense
It was at sandy strip. They're starting to get launched into the sky
Fido Dexy though
This is a newly formed duo for the second chance qualifier not only that they went off spawn against ping walks now holding on to height
Odds are looking incredibly good in their favor Kira left alone as a solo doesn't have a pizza though
As fellow now, you talked about your performance in the heat, so you are not happy with it.
Now, you have a chance to show what you're truly made of. Four eliminations on the board already, and the solo clutch continues.
He's not the only solo in this lobby either. Karama hoping that he can bring back a kid into this one.
He knows two is better than one every single time. Somehow, managing to stay out of sight, out of mind for the rest of the lobby.
the rest of the lobby so he does get the rebound, has a pizza, and he can just get a chance to put it down.
That could be the difference maker for the French duo, but now Velo backside of zone hoping that there's someone
unsuspecting ahead. How are we going to get a little bit of his shield? Think about my Casper.
That's the elimination that Velo needs. He's just continuing to break through. Doesn't get too much of a chance to celebrate though.
Has to keep moving every single second working against him, but Velo's still finding a way to stay left standing on his two feet.
What a performance. It's already gotten four eliminations and solo getting closer and closer to the top 10 only four more mad sangy's gone down
Fellow, you've got three more builds. You can't get seen by height
You're gonna have to drop down the shots are coming through and that will be the end still a great solo clutch
He made it into doctor. That's what matters currently the mom's east sky jump ultimate low
And they are doing their best to turn into the demolition derby right now front side of zone controlled
five eliminations already
For the strange duo now looking see they can get get us
But it's gonna be mom's he who's lost in the mix doesn't actually make it on the hill face
So NASA net fully aware of the fact that he's got sky jump breathing down his neck
But sky jump doesn't have an opportunity yet to go through those shots dexie
Fido overhead one more time all they got to do from this point on
Shikada is just make sure that they apply pressure because these lower layers are having to eat themselves alive right now
The alley and lusher, look at the refresh.
The material count might just be the difference maker
here on the low ground.
Just one more build left though.
That refresh ended quickly.
Skyjump's gone down.
Vito, Dexy.
They've had high on contested from first moving to now.
Nobody has been able to take it from them.
The pressure is just too much.
How they crack now.
They have every advantage possible.
Dexy, Vito, all you have to do is close this one out.
This is just looking like a master glass
out of play high from a safely nestled position.
Overdrive gonna send Dexy for a moment outside of zone,
but nothing too precarious yet.
Jake Bucca just trying to cause chaos right now though,
but that last overdrive might have sent them
a little bit too far forward.
Jake Bucca, not for the high girl.
Dexy is actually falling.
Fido doing his best to contend
and fortunately will hold strong.
So Fido and Dexy still walk away with it,
but Jake Bucca definitely calling it for a close one.
I was starting to feel the pressure
after three overdrive some take
book. I just kept launching them
out of the zone.
Dexie went down, but Vito said,
I am not going to let that one
slide. Frankie Levin, many.
That was exciting.
It was super exciting.
I mean, these two are going to
be throwing everything at the
lobby tonight to not miss out on
a spot and the major one
summer and Vito and Dexie
Levin, they weren't stressing
at all.
No, I mean, they've had to
start the game with a bit of
stress and panic right there fighting off spawn at latte against thing and what
obviously to do with Frankie you said you were really hoping to see a lot from
they win the off-spawn fight and so what does that mean mini we all know what
that means in fortnight you win your off-spawn you have to make the game
count and there's no better way to do it than that if you've been watching EU
for years mini you would have seen Dexy playing on high he's loved to do
this for years he loves high ground he showcased exactly what to do up
that. Yeah, I mean, it's a
lot of people that are there in
this game and he's able to
close out as well. Big props
to him as well. These are the
types of games that gonna have
to keep having. Yeah, I need
to make the most of this game.
So when I saw you right and I
was actually kind of surprised
that there wasn't too much
contestation from other teams.
I think there was that one
team that decided to try and
go up for it, but it just
shows how well in there to
hold on to the height for
themselves a little bit of
wobble at the end. I mean
props to Jake Boca for what
he did. That was great
there for Peter. Look at
that that was a really chaotic
finish, but for those guys
really excited to see what
they can do now. Of course,
they they held high really
well managed to find some
refreshes and won the first
game. Of course, that doesn't
send you straight to the
summit is all about consistency
still, but they couldn't have
asked her better stuff. Yeah.
Absolutely Mini Milo will be
seeing how our other duos did
after the short break.
You
you're going to have to
have to go to the next level
of barn stormer. So sucks to
you if you missed it. Go back
and watch the boards on that
one and see how Dexy and
Fito dominated the high ground.
Let's talk about how our other
duos in the lobby did tonight
though in game number one
because everyone knows they
can't afford to have a slow
start here. 11 and skyjump
and mom's a they got the
memo. Again, we talked about
a mini-man, but it doesn't. That is wonky. There's always going to be some wonky stuff
going on. They made the most of it though, right? They get out of wonky alive and they
end up playing out the game. And you know, again, we talked about making these games count.
Momsy goes down, right? And Sky Jump, the resilience, right? To not give up on the
plane, not give up on the game. That's all you need in these movies right now.
Yeah, it is absolutely right. I mean, we saw that these guys just have so much
potential, so much skill. And we spoke about it at the beginning of the day. These
to get those extra few
placements as well ended up
with a fifth with six
eliminations, putting them
forth on the leaderboard. So
not a bad start for them. It
would be great to see how well
they do tonight, but definitely
eyes will be on them in the
lobby and in the audience as
well. And fellow though. Oh
my goodness. What a great
And Velo, though, oh my goodness, what a fantastic performance.
We have to highlight Velo.
Nevin, you sound enthusiastic about that one
because that clutch to night plays when the odds were against him
was something else.
This game for them actually played out exactly
sort of how I expected as far as the dynamics, right?
Because one of the key things with these two
is their season ended a while ago, right?
And so the question's always going to be,
we've watched, you know, the major finals happen.
People know how to play the game as successfully
you've been able to go back
and watch. We've seen top players
going back, watching what all of
these top players were doing.
Savage has been a holiday.
He's in Paris. He's not been
locked in and we saw them down
on surge and I was like,
is this going to be a pattern
of with them today?
Because maybe Savage hasn't
been able to lock in,
watch the Bobs.
If that's the case,
you're going to need Velo to
solo clutch and have games
like that one if they're
going to have a good chance
of competing in.
It's going to be difficult
for them as well, though.
Of course, the inexperience
of Velo at this sort of level
is going to be interesting
what he can now bring
he's going to be able to keep up
that pressure. But I think you
know he's definitely got the
skill. He's definitely got the
talent and the solo clutch right
there to put them in that was it
top seven for them really nicely
done from him. I mean no remorse
as you can see it from his name
so definitely not playing with
any sort of strings attached
right now. He is just running
free. Meanwhile, Akira and
Karama coached by Scars
grow. You mentioned earlier
tonight 11 they did make it
off sport at Battlewood
Boulevard got themselves some
nice search tags in there
the game. It's not a very
good game. There's a lot of
tactics in those were one
elimination to their name.
Mini minor. But the end game
was a little bit choppy for
them. Little bit messy. Yeah,
of course, maybe that was
important considering their
situation when it comes to the
off spawn. Um, interested to
see what these guys can actually
do going forward. There was
a little bit of a revised
situation here as well,
which I think kind of threw
off a lot of their in game
11, but there's definitely
more to come from this
year. I think if there's a
team that I definitely
expect to be inside of that
the game. We're going to be
really excited to see what
we're going to see. It's going
to be a really big disaster.
Yeah, given time will figure
it out along the way. I think
again, there's always going to
be learnings as you are
playing from a new spot,
especially on the complete
other side of the map to
what they were playing in the
lead up to grand so. Patience
with these ones. I think of
the games going. Can't be
patient, guys with only got
five more games without.
Nusia. They're aware of
that they were kicked up the
end game. We'll talk about
the game. They're going to be
the best players in the world.
They're at that clot off point
right now, mini minor. The
question is, can they consistently
remain there? Yeah, it's going to
be interesting. I'm excited to
see what this joke and bring
course today. They had a decent
enough start right here as
well. And I think both of
these players have had some
success at different points
during their careers as well,
and it's nice to see them
now sort of coming together
finding a little bit of
success here in this game.
They still got five more
for them again. They need to make the most of these games, but what else to them for making
the end game and of course winning us four.
I mentioned how in Russia before 11. I know you're keen to talk about these guys. I wanted
to ask you what happened with them because we saw the mid to low ground end game. They
were kicked out. They look ready to be in it for the long haul to the bitter end,
but they didn't quite make it there.
Definitely keeping with how the Russian in that first game is it's been very different
what we've seen from them this season. I actually would love someone to go back and just if you
are jobless and have no time at all. Can we count up who's had the most screen time in FNCS
this major? I feel like we've watched Halmy and Lusha play so much this season. They've literally
been in every single broadcast, every single stage we've had, and we've seen a very consistent
pattern of these guys. They're gonna be up on the high ground. They might be a couple games
and one of them falls off high and you know they happen to still touch out. But
they're gonna be a high ground team. They started off today not with that approach. Now one
that remains the same. If you've changed the approach in this second, last chance.
Interesting. Well, I mean, many minor, you love it. You love it when these guys go high.
Yeah, I want to say on high for no reason at all, just to, you know, just to hopefully get them
to win a game. But no, it's actually nice to see them switching things up, not being afraid of that.
Of course, they did have success on high. But for this sort of format, it's not last chance
qualifier, it's not winning urine. It is consistency. So I think that low ground's
going to be so key. We saw it work so well for Sky and Scroll over the weekend as well. I'm
I'm sure they can try and replicate that.
Now, I feel bad bringing this up,
but Merce and Banya, difficulties, I guess, in the mid-game,
meant that we didn't see them go the distance in this one.
Levin, do you think that this is a communication issue?
What do you think is going on with this particular pairing?
Again, you know, this is a new pairing, right?
They've sort of come together for this.
And ultimately, there's been concerns from both sides
about understanding whether or not they're there.
You know, their greed on the meta is as good,
whether their execution is going to be at the elite level you'd expect it to be.
And so, again, I think we're all sort of learning about these guys as the games go on.
And that was a great start.
Yeah, so let's see if they can pick it up in game number two with Takao and Takata.
Thank you, Frankie.
Like, the good news is despite previously having four
eliminations to fall damage back to back, we've got none today.
So it's a good start now.
In terms of drops, getting into the real note, SkyJetMomsy,
looking like they actually might be contested.
We'll see if Kaila go out, go for that again.
Did not go their way in game one.
From your Stashvania, they didn't perform in the end game,
but they were not contested
despite the drop map saying that it was a possibility.
Game two is ready to go.
Let's get right into it.
of the game. We already knew
heading into today at Decada
that things were bound to
change, especially some of those
last minute decisions. And the
other thing to take into back
of the players minds is just
because you started off game
one contested or uncontested
doesn't mean that that's going
So, four teams to sort of try and establish themselves.
If you are already inside of that top eight,
you really wanna try and build on those leads now.
Get some momentum going here in game two.
Karama and Akira under a little bit of pressure
from the teams overhead.
But Karama landing on the hill, great shots to connect.
That's gonna be the first elimination here.
Maybe even alleviating some of that pressure
that they were kind of experiencing earlier on.
But on the dust has settled, Akira and Karama
holding strong currently
at Battlewood Boulevard.
I think he missed the single shot.
So that's what you get for shooting my teammate.
Huge.
In terms of recuperating that net search,
will be a slower early game now for Kira Caramones.
They get kitted up for later.
They can walk, so what went wrong?
You know, Dexy is what went wrong
if I had to take a guess.
And what's even crazier to think about too
is that we haven't really seen teams
have that outright success throughout the course of this entire major one.
Latte landing has been just one of those POIs that people are thinking like is this place
even worth dropping at because it's so difficult to really see teams converted into something
fruitful and yet Loggy number one, Fida Dexi, they get the better end of this off-spawn
and they translate it into a game one victory out with a good amount of eliminations to
work with too.
And so when you've got a team, light pinging walks kind of on the ropes like this, it does
raise a whole lot of concerns for pinging walks and maybe even start to wonder, is it
really worth them trying to contest or should they just maybe try and bargain elsewhere?
Looking over to Squibly though, this is kind of a bit of a mix up.
Kram and Kaimu were originally dropping at the opposite side of the map east by
Builder's Barret.
So it's interesting to see them all the way over West now, like you said,
especially in a second chance qualifier, things will change.
There's going to be a lot of mix up.
Well, if she practice, they got 23rd in the finals, just three placements away.
The qualifying for the summit land, the second closest duo in the lobby
currently do have not qualified, but still made it to the finals.
So the way they started it off, 26 points.
I mean, cut off currently is 54, so honestly it's not looking great, but we do have five matches left.
And it's not to say they couldn't look to find their rhythm a little bit later on,
especially when you've got teams like Gila and Gobao that are trying to take that more randomized approach
and you're switching up your drop spot, you have to imagine how much practice,
how much time do they really get to try and submit some of these opening ideas
for a team like Prax and Globchie that you vary early on,
that they want to take their chances over by new Sanctuary.
Probably one of the most fickle parts of this POI
is just that lower elevation point.
So even if you managed to come out on top
during that initial exchange,
not to say that you're considered safe moving inwards
because so many teams can look at where you're positioning at.
I feel like the whole map's just randomized at this point.
I mean no one's dropping the drop mat said like I'm looking at the players and I'm looking at the drop map
I'm like am I looking at like the wrong job map like what's going on here?
Switching it up, but this is close enough for a home. I think for a first-groser in JSN
Routine that definitely had some highlights during their heats, but
Gotta make sure
That you are consistently keeping things kind of amped up here is savage velo
Right off the bat that game one performance here, Velo is really trying to do his best
I think to sort of overcome some of those shortcomings that had taken place beforehand.
And it's not always easy to bounce back, but I think what really helps out Velo is having
such an experienced veteran like Savage by his side to really help mentally guide him
through that.
No, I'd love to see it.
So far, I'm very excited after game one.
See how the performance continues.
Other names, their simulator, situation in the lobby.
We'll check on over, Zynox and Co looking quite good.
Actually, they're in a 2v1,
so they do have the upper hand here,
but there is a third party coming in,
if you look at the mini map on them right.
So hopefully they're gonna be aware enough.
This is just so south of the map.
very feasible for a third party to intervene here is Lennox going to apply so much pressure
here to that pushback. It's going to floor Xionox to kind of take over the front of the
aggression charge here. And that little bit of delay that slight pickup might be all the
time needed for Xanthify and I to really work their way into this one. Even the Xionox
was able to pick up the elimination. In fact, the matter is his duo is still incredibly
They have no idea about this croaching lurk here.
Still, taking their sweet time. Have to respect the patience unless it winds up being a whole lot of nothing.
But as long as you can get those opening shots here, it ain't the fight I'm on.
Right now, I have time to work with kind of watching their prey move off in the distance.
in the distance they will send out shots but all they've really done is given away their position here
didn't really net them any sort of surge whatsoever. I think they got like a 30 maybe
not what you would have wanted for successful sneak up that they had
now they're going to be forced to continue looking and even rotating quite significantly
further in the zone so we're gonna quick replay those and then gear us see this is what you
want to see if you are going for that sneaky method.
Giddaz incident, doing a great job to kind of punish
some of these players that weren't able to fully capitalize
on some of their early fights.
Doesn't matter how it happens.
Doesn't have to look pretty as long as you get the job done
and manage to find yourself as one of those eight teams
for consistency on the leaderboard.
That's all that anybody's after here today,
but wonky land continuing to have its own fair share of battles here.
It's got to be Monzy, though, very much looking to try to defend their territory one more time.
You know they got Shark and Teeny also helping to coach them through this POI.
And they're not born to fighting by any means.
This is a duo that loves going for a good strike and fight.
It worked in game one.
Looks like it might work here in game two as well.
Max Oscar this is the deal that was originally going to contest the cure of
Rama now they're contesting another top team and it has not wet their way
great scenes though for the French community here solar you can probably
be celebrated right now with the watch party witnessing skyjump and mom's you
have this kind of opening success but we saw even through their fun performance
right they just missed out they were so close it was only that last lobby
Or they had too early of a departure, weren't able to net the placement points that they
needed to keep themselves confirmed inside of that top 20.
You have to expect that they are working with a whole different kind of mentality and approach
here as XT, Kitaspuka, no problem finding their first two eliminations.
Another kind of note to make on that is knowing eliminations being worth four points
piece it can definitely make up for some lost placements for some of these teams in the lobby.
Picks and Ghosts now. Ghosts is one of the players who was do it up with Payson
and now without it going their ways made the switch up to play with Picks. So far at 44 points
though they're right below the cutoff currently off to a pretty good start so I'm excited.
See how they can play through Fury on the other hand. Rip Tide's teammate
Look at a little loa, but they've got three Elans on the board, so they need to do it. Wow.
But even with those three eliminations, they'd still like to add one more to it.
And I have to remember that was a team that had tried to make a third party move just moments ago.
And when it didn't actually add in their favor, it just kind of left them a little
a little bit more exposed because then they're forced to try and search out that surge elsewhere.
Fury and Zoomer.
I can already tell, they're not scared of the fight.
Just trying to figure out where exactly in the building I was actually scurried off to,
but only so many places left to run as they continue to make their approach and Zoomer
will find closing shots here.
Four eliminations now.
16 points.
That's a pretty big jump from when they started off in this second lobby, Takata.
Yeah, I mean, it's the same format as the major finals where eliminations instead of three points are four.
So kicking it off with four is incredibly good.
That was kind of the differentiator for a lot of the top teams.
It was how many eliminations they could consistently be getting.
Thank you, Belusi, currently in ninth place, one place away from that top eight qualification.
But it's all about that consistency.
Right now, Belusi just trying to be the cutoff point for those teams that are kind of landing
a little bit more north towards Bridget Fortress.
Think about the likes of Savage and Velo, PodiSci, Seido, Harko and Kirei, teams that
are inside of that top eight that want to try and stay there, but don't want to open yourself
up being caught off guard by teams in those elevated search bases is Vanya and Mirstash
already navigated their way towards Sandy Strip.
Another Sandy Strip zone.
I don't know if Thomas is just watching in the background and be like, I'm glad I'm
not in this game again.
I don't know if we have to make a phone call to seek or something, but the amount
of zones we've got a sandy strip and this major is insane we saw the replay
though Lusha Howley quick Elam on the board 232 above now as long as we have
no fall damage issues this duo should be able to solidify themselves a nice
place at the top. Why would you even speak that into existence right now okay
Lusha has moved on he is better for it third time's the charm okay he's
He's passed that stage of his career.
Now, Moza and Nova looking overhead,
looming in.
This little fight that's at a building
directly underneath here in the sanctuary.
Again, that lower elevation could potentially work against Goba and Goba.
Even if they're able to find the full finishes on both of these players,
We're still gonna have to contend with that team that's overhead of them.
They might not even have any inkling idea that that duo is still sitting overhead hanging out,
but Nova has to make a decision here.
Now we're never 90 below.
You gotta get some shots off unless you want to lose all of your heals to Serge.
Zona is pulling back towards their side though.
So they can afford to hang a little longer, but these shots are crucial.
As storm surge already starts taking the pressure now getting heavier and heavier on their shoulders
force the drop to pizza. Just 31 below. A couple shots is all it's gonna take as well.
Try backwards. This is not what I'd like to see for a duo that has this much pressure
on their shoulders right now. They need to connect something here.
a little bit of panic, but still they're both just gonna try and focus on just making
the zone hoping that I put it themselves in that position as teams start to trickle in.
Maybe they can look, find somebody else where.
Essentially collapse on, picks and goes.
I see Wary, Oshahali.
They're not gonna waste any time here.
It's not even going to get the chance.
Just a lot of pressure being applied right now.
It wasn't bad enough already with the serve.
That's it's going to make things even worse still.
And that's just going to be free loop bodies to take over.
Yep.
Good quick refreshes.
Looking over at the deal and Jew.
They did not have the strongest start.
Four points.
So I'm hoping that now that they're actually
looking like they have a solid chance at the end game.
We can see something come from them,
but the surge is what Savage and Velo are feeling now.
Solid performance from Velo.
I'm hoping they can get past the surge again.
He's not going to get the chance
to even make it into zone, rolling in now.
Partially wrong, but still 314 below.
whole lobby looking in, Savage and Velo.
Also victims of that lobby focus, just too many struggles
trying to make it into that next edge of the zone teams.
We're just a little bit quicker.
It's staying ahead of the pack looking back, spraying.
It's very easy.
Just be caught out in the mix.
You and Vedeel though, back to see part of what went
wrong here for Savage and Velo.
And just a little bit too much congestion for them to contend with but I was saying with
the deal in Jew I think a
Lot of people kind of knowing just how explosive things got between doing and dream
Maybe the deal and help to keep things a little bit more grounded
Very excited to check back in with them shortly since their surge was well above and Akira Karama
They've done an excellent job at managing their surge five hundred twenty five above
That's looking to a decent elevated position, not quite stuck in the congestion that sort
of pulling underneath them on that ultimate low and don't have an opportunity with the
overdragon aids and the flow barrier mist that they're holding onto to actually try
and make stab at height here.
If that's their intention, it could just be wait and see what happens next.
Yeah, I mean we saw a lot of low ground consistency for Skye's roll, but they have the opportunity
to take it. If odds are in their favor they'll do it. The Stropi Kiro, just 67 above, no more
shields but I can see no more heals. The teammate though just have some splashes so they're
hoping for his own pool here. Bideal and Jew. It'd be great to see even more German representation
especially considering that the Summit 1 land is in Dusseldorf. Germany, Bideal in
2025, say, was like the 24 duos, actually, 2024 duos.
It's one of the best with reason.
Didn't go their way starting off this year.
And seeing the deal with you now, I mean, the history is there.
He knows how to play duos, but it's quite difficult.
When you kind of switch up your duos last minute,
you don't have that chemistry that a duo like Skye and Skrull
has but you have the individual skill, Ali Lusha. Lookin' uh, lookin' decent.
That is until they try to make their next rotate in. Part of the problem is trying to
decide which way the lobby is actually looking when you get a move on. Fortunately though
for Lusha, finding that elimination onto Lyxia means that he can try and make a play
for the revive but the moment that those flubbering nister heads go off it always
draws attention to your position. Dexi, Fido, one more time, 360 degree above the next
excellent job so far. Making their way, holding consistent strong points inside
his zone. Just trying to make sure, looking at some of these teams caught on
the back side. At R under so much more pressure, could pick off on Dexi.
Whether or not they actually go for the loot, might not even matter. They're
really after since the elimination points is Akira Kodama still doing a job
making sure they can see a good chop out for a moment they're gonna pull that
body straight to them a little steal away action here as Akira Kodama won't
complain every little bit helps at this point I join Kido they're actually
gonna be some of the first to make it onto height but can they hold it on
the rest of the lobbies looking to be setting up to try and see if they
and overtake the high ground.
Nice connect.
I mean, if it's anything like last game,
you know, Dex, he held on to height from first moving
to last moving.
I don't even think they were really contested at all.
So we'll see if there's a repeat.
Our players start playing a little bit more aggro,
Torse, Lusha though, left alone with 90 points.
Trying to make sure they solidify themselves.
Still at the top, but Kiro has
to be careful as pressure is getting on him.
His teammate is fully cracked.
They don't have any shields to work with the Kata no flow very miscredits
They're gonna have to depend exclusively on the movement from that last overdrive grenades
So that's gonna be a forfeiture of that secondary height
We're gonna opt to go straight to low ground and hope that there's teams that are in a much worse position than them
They can maybe look back on the lobby
Try and get a picture to they need elimination refresh and they need it now
Now, Karama and Akira also contending with the low ground.
They might be some of the first to clash with some of these other teams, but still doing
their best to try and claim this much space.
They possibly can.
Dexi and Fita though, not shocked to see them try and go for height, but the punishment
has taken its toll.
That's for sure.
Dexi just doing everything in his power to try and stay inside the zone, but he's
not going to be able to keep rolling in this one.
It's the deal and you now leading the charge here on ultimate low.
Great job just try and set up and you go for a play here in a moment.
I know there's a player directly next to their wall, but it's really all about the
ones that are starting to just come flying in where it's from those overdrag grenades.
Got to look every which direction here is Angie and Lucy secondary height currently.
It might be some of the first actually trying to take a more aggressive stance here.
They have some room to work with, a little bit of time to breathe.
Height has actually been overthrown though, it's high for Robin now.
Controlling the clouds, you can see Globshee.
Rax stuck in the zone.
The knot comes through as the deal and Jew are continuing to stay strong.
Good heals, good mats.
They've been controlling low incredibly well, but another big duo is down there,
Secure Carama, the good news for them is the deal and Jew, they're looking towards height now.
Well, look at the chop from the deal.
That's going to force Angi and Belusi, Brax and Glupshee,
to try and keep things moving.
Angi and Belusi still deep overhead.
They're going to start sparking upwards,
but the build's just so incredibly low.
Player like Betil bound to be looking upwards,
hoping to get another chop underneath his belt here
is for Stroki Kito.
Running into some problems on the low ground,
forced to play from the backside of zone,
but Kito gets caught in the mix.
Can't actually escape the again.
It doesn't even realize the shots
are being sent in from for Stroke.
That little bit of elimination, that little bit of material
is just not going to be enough here, though,
as he's claimed by the rest of the lobby.
Vadil, now playing with the Minkett,
taking up a little bit of storm.
They're going to have a later rival,
but it might just be that element of surprise needed.
Tree going to cut off Vadil, though, in his attempt
to try and take that frontside position still.
Even with a moderate drop, Vadil caught off guard.
Jew, he's got five eliminations already.
How many more can he truly collect here as Karama?
No complaints whatsoever, taking the deal's body in the process.
But Karama still hoping to try and create a little bit of space, doesn't want to get caught out.
Akira took out both players down below though.
Akira, Karama now are still looking healthy.
The only players above them are solos.
This is what we were expecting.
This is what we've been waiting for.
For Akira, Karama, but you and the Clouds gets taken out.
Zangy bouncing as his teammates down below out of match,
put into desperation as all they can do now are hit their shots.
Ju is able to cause enough trouble, though, for the team on high.
Zangy just thrown completely to the Wolves here now,
as Go's buying so much time.
Great shot, got to connect here.
Go's has the chance.
Big chunk out of Akira's shield,
but it's going to be Akira and Kurama who hold strong
and find their put in here in game two.
and I've picked Royale to send them plenty of words
on the leaderboard.
Flawless performance, they held low perfectly.
They never even got low on materials.
Refresh after refresh, they were staying healthy.
They had match, they had 11 nations.
This is what we were looking for, Desk.
It is what we were looking for.
I'm sure coaches Sky and Skrull will be very happy
for our friendship right now.
And of course, so will the Gentlemates fans.
It's looking good for these guys,
and it was looking good all game level.
I said, give them time.
I said, they're warming into it and people are trying to tell me,
oh, they ain't got time, they ain't got time.
You see, guys have plenty of time,
because when you have a team like Skyrim and Skrull,
guiding you through the game, even beyond that,
they get Skyrim and Skrull for a second,
because they are there, you know, FNC has a chance
to go and give them a respect.
But Kira and Karama are a really good duo,
and they've been a great duo this season at times,
many, it just hasn't materialized in the moments
I think mattered the most and so again, it's good to see them
You know really comfortable in this lobby looks like right you see they're willing to make plays and not shine away from hard decisions
And they're hitting shots. That's what you have to do. Yeah, it's really nice
I'm sort of living up to their potential now in this lobby and it's something that you'd expect
I mean we spoke about this at the end of last game that these guys have what it takes
They have the abilities they have the minerals if you like to actually make it all away here and qualify through to the summit
And it's gonna be nice to see them there
they can actually make it because
of course those make fans. They
go crazy. We saw them in Leon
and to have an M a team at the
summit would be absolutely
fantastic. So for them right
now, it's just going to be
trying to stay as consistent as
possible in this format. Find
themselves in that top eight,
which realistically when
they've got sky and scroll by
their side, shouldn't be a
problem at all. Hey guys,
you've forgotten that Mercer
Sashavanya also mates players
and they're in the lobby
too. Okay We're heading to
Number 3.
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.
Pfft.
Aaaaaah!
It's okay.
Aaaaaah!
Stay there.
Don't forget, get your tickets with a PSD bank dome in Ducador for the May 30th and 31st
if you would like to join us. And actually I say this, May 29th, 30th, 30th.
Yeah, if you've got weekend tickets, by the way, if you've already got weekend tickets,
they include Friday now. So you get literally three days for the price of two. So definitely
do not miss out. It's bargain. It's a very bargain, as we like to say in the UK release.
I like to say, but let's talk
about what happened in that
last game guys. There's
Virgil and Jiminy minor. They
actually had a better session
than the first game. Yeah, we
saw them in that first guy. I
think it was Sergio three that
took them out in that very
first game. They were sort of
scrambling there. I think it
was the deal that ended up
going down in the sort of
mid game section all way back
in the storm. The surge
was ticking as well. So it's
actually really nice to see
these guys actually finding
their feet a little bit and
at a good time as well,
of course, in the second game
you don't want to leave it
too late. But level we spoke
about this year at the
on fire due has of course made the major files as well didn't perform particularly well there but this is a team that on paper you'd really expect to fall off by through so it's nice to see them coming alive.
Yeah no I was glad that they made some out of that game especially because they were setting up for hype right it looked that way at least and maybe they messed up the shockwave or maybe the deal changes mine and that's when he ends up going down but either way again this is a team I think we all want to see playing at the major one summit so hopefully they can pick things up there.
the game. Yeah, really good
to see where they can get to
currently in 13, but 23 places
up in that last game, so
anything can happen in the
next four. If we can look back
at the top 10, though, because
I don't want to dwell on Mr
Savage and fellow on the game
that they just had because it
did take them out the top
10. We can see pics and
ghost ghost pulled off a
because you have two, you know, again, very talented players,
two players who I think have had, you know,
their fair share of highs and lows over the course
of the past sort of months,
picks in particular, right?
Sort of almost had a good thing going with Moustache
and it never sort of kicked off into anything serious
and Ghost has been getting all the hype in the world, right?
While he was playing with Tayson,
obviously things didn't work out then.
So again, finally, I guess showing some of the talent
we sort of said he had, right?
I feel like we came into this FNC,
that's when you're going, trust me guys,
this Ghost guy's like, he's an ex-up, man.
he's the he's the one he's the
true and we never really got to
see except for now. Yeah, we
haven't really seen an end game.
Of course, playing with Jason
wasn't really that consistency
that we were expecting from
them when it came to making it
to end game. So we never got to
see those big pop off moments
from him. And now, of course, in
this game to hear really nice to
see him coming alive as well.
I think you're right. This
is a really nice mix of
teammates here. This is a team
that I think have a lot of
franging power, a lot of
potential in that regard,
but also have enough
experience under that belt
to take them through as well
the team. I think we saw
quite a bit happening, you
know, sort of all over. I think
the key thing with these guys
is again, we know they want to
be a team that's aggressive on
towards height. And so finding
those right opportunities are
going to see moments where if
they don't want to play that
way, right? Again, are they
going to be as prominent? Are
they going to be a strong
and, you know, I think we
need to be able to get there
and be able to get there
to be a strong and I think
that's going to be the big
question up for them, not
just in this lobby mini, but
moving forward as a whole. Yeah,
it really is. I mean, it's going
to be as I suppose the day goes
on, it's going to be more and
more difficult to play for those
high ground positions as teams
further on down, try and make a
play for it. Because remember,
you don't get anything if
you're not inside of that top
eight. It's going to be really,
really important for the players
of course to get inside of
that to make their spot known
at the major one summit. So I
think for them playing height
it's time to play a little bit more mid-ground and not go for those risky plays, but at least
they made that mistake a little bit earlier on here.
It feels so punishing as well when you have got the high ground. Like Hydro and Kaito,
they were preparing for that zone pool and Leven. It was such a shocker, that zone,
pulling away from them despite their best efforts.
Yeah, I'm actually curious to see what happened to them, right? Because, again, zone
pools far and you're thinking, okay, how are they going to react to this? And
That was the moment where we see Dekkstein 5, so we tried to come up.
Kaito eventually sort of just gets chopped out then.
Yeah, it's a tough one, right?
The second map zone pulls like that, and it pulls Max.
And there's really teams ahead looking up at you.
You're always just almost like a sitting duck at times.
Yeah, you are. It's difficult because everyone's sort of looking up at you there,
trying to spray you out.
We've seen a lot of teams going down to that recently as well
and even taking the full damage there.
Not ideal, but a team that I'm actually really impressed by,
really excited by pulls two Germans as well.
So a lot of the German fans will be hoping that they make it to the major one summit
But I remember they caused sky and scroll a few issues off spawn there just to the north of Battlewood Boulevard
So they do have potential to cause some problems there, but I know knowing the hospital situation
It's not going to be easy for them to make those end games. So they need to make them count when we do
Let's bring up the lobby listener. Sorry not the lobby. Let's believe what I should say
It's kind of the same thing in a way
Curious, I don't know if we can look at any of the later pages because I just want to see which
the next couple of games. You
could make your way into the
top. Obviously I mentioned
Mr Savage and fellow needing to
have a better game. Kato and
the high Joe. We know that they
should be warmed up and ready
to go. Poda side and say toe.
They had a poor game last time
and you can see things can
change so quickly. If you do
not have a consistent
so quickly if you do not have a consistently strong end game right now, Leven.
I mean, yeah, these guys haven't made it to an end game, so it's not, you know,
it's just you go out making an end game before you start thinking about having
consistently strong end games or just consistent end games at all.
So hopefully we can see these guys, you know, sort of pick things up.
I think for the science, say, so again, to when established players,
players who we know the talent, we've seen them throughout the highest level
can they figure things out as the games to come back?
And the points are actually incredibly close right now,
even if you looked at that top 10,
there's not much in it so everything can change after game three
with Takao and Takata.
Look at the first two lobbies have not gotten in your favor.
This is usually the part of the tournament
where we'd start to expect some pretty big pivots
to take place here at Takata
because it's essentially our halfway point.
Lobby number three, teams don't have a whole lot of time.
It's just kind of one of those now or never circumstances,
and you've got to trust their guts sometimes.
Yeah, this isn't like the first, last chance qualifier,
where if you win a game, you're in.
It is all about consistency here for the second chance qualifier.
And after game three, even game four,
if you're not on the upper end of the leaderboard,
it is going to be incredibly difficult.
But the good news is the battle bus is ready.
So let's head on to game three.
some teams are really starting to get fired up as the day rolls on teams that
haven't necessarily had the success though that they were hoping for again
this is a great midway point but for washa and howly is the last thing you
want to see it's Xynax getting the better end of this exchange here at
riptides we knew was going to be a little bit rocky for the duos that
choosing a test here, but now Howley, their position on the leaderboard, so quickly threatened
by just one off-spot. I mean, they were sitting in that seventh place position, heading into
this third lobby. All they want to see right now is survival. Look back to you on what went
wrong. It was just that immediate 50-50. Lusha doesn't get to an embers. As a result,
Force just wait and see whether or not how he can even bring this one into his favor
It'll be real tough from this point on the codon inventing fully in control by Zynox
Not only that but it is just so hard to go
Unnoticed how to rip tides and not run snag depth into another team. That's that's the real
Issue that I think how he's gonna have to contend with a change up a latte landing though
And I'm not talking about a change up in drops or players contesting.
It's actually Ping and Rocks being the team that has had the better drop this time around.
In the previous game, they were kind of forced to swim away.
But now it looks like Dexi and Vito are the ones that are put into a bit of trouble.
You say that, but Dexi and Vito have already had two pretty solid games.
in the first place and great to the 20th, not the best, but still enough to keep them within
that top five portion of the leaderboard. They've built up a bit of a buffer. They don't have the
same kind of pressure as a duo like King and Wax. You were just healing so early on, they
haven't had place, they haven't had anything to work with. It's now other teams, scriptly shores,
I'm gonna be able to make the escape, I'm gonna ram, doesn't look like they're interested in chasing it.
This adaptive is kinda stuck now with the lurking game teammate down.
Gonna have to go the reboot route but time to ram.
They've gotta make a big game happen here.
You're talking about ping walks, there's another duo that just hasn't had a chance to make
it to the end game and the issue is already on the third match when you get to the
end game at this point if you don't have points on the board you need to make a
a big game happen.
Lixxi, I'm a French flagger really trying to make a name for himself.
All fine for land, but certainly he's a way to do it.
But first, we'll have to deal with the likes.
First, Puka and his E. Very scrappy.
Start things off.
Lixxi, I'm doing his best to try and fight him back.
Big shots exchange both ways, but it's going to be XZ.
He just barely manages to come out on top here.
So now, Lazi forced to just disengage, doesn't want to risk it, knows how important this third match really is.
You cannot afford another gutted lobby that only three left to really play through.
That was close through. The initial shot was onto XV, but it just wasn't enough damage.
And right when they thought it was done, some more shots coming through from another team that was lurking.
and the surrounding areas.
Speaking about lurking, Dexie Fido,
you ping and walks, no, it doesn't seem like it.
This could be huge.
This is also part of the risk that's involved
with not getting that immediate 50-50 off-spawn win,
but, you know, walks, they know.
We didn't wipe them.
We're going to have to deal with them eventually.
They're not just going to forfeit Latte landing
just because we got the better drop.
Guido, crouch walking overhead, walks, try to clear out some space, underneath, couldn't
use for both of these teams though, thought of going here and I haven't decided to get
involved just yet but that might be the indirect measures that actually poked a little
bit better there for Guido and walks because it would probably deter that C&Hido, there's
a third party. Jesus isn't really worth the squeeze at that stage.
This guy jumping Monzy though. They do have an Elim already. They've been dominant at
Wonky kicking off the day in the first two matches so far and it's looking no different
here in the third. I got high hopes for them.
also. Definitely looking to try and cheer them on.
Krama and Akita doing a great job to kind of mimic the successes that we saw from Sky and
Skrull in their major one finals.
But for Izzy and Nosif, Prism and Kasper.
This is a fight that could definitely drag out.
Last thing you'd want four fields a little bit outskirts far east can be a very difficult position because it's just not easy to build up hard materials from this spot
So whatever mats are burnt out here
They're they're gonna have to be recovered somewhere eventually and that somewhere else might be
Where other teams on the map decide to kind of face up look for those surprise sneak attacks. So it's just it's just very
dangerous
position instead he just finds himself getting cleared out immediately doesn't
even get the chance to escape here where is Axe Force that's the only thing left
the question he's on the opposite end also just too split from his duo they
thought they were gonna have the one up on this fight instead they find
themselves just hoping that they can even keep this lobby run going not a
good look didn't even have a chance to place a build Axe Force now is put
in a world of trouble.
We'll see where this zone does close in the next five seconds,
but maybe it's an Axe Force.
They're going to have to be playing comeback now.
At least with five slices of pizza,
Axe Force is going to afford to tank up a little bit here.
Every boot is just going to be the bat signal for everybody
else in the lobby that's on that eastern portion of the map
to just try and take them out of the skies.
velo and savage
A bit of a stumble in game two rough zone for them to work with
When it pulled towards that lower elevation it just left them a little bit more exposed and they would have liked to have been
on their rotate in still
the south section
Frigid Fortress
Got enough for them try and make some magic happen here in game three, maybe
It was that second zone surge, it's getting the best of a lot of these teams, Savage
fellow being one of them, but once they make it past that, I mean the end game, it's more
of their element.
Rax, Glovesheet, we've talked about how close they were in the finals and now once again
they are incredibly close, being the cutoff, the qualifying here in eighth place at
94 points going into the match so all they've got to do is hold on
Sorry, probably wishing this duo would leave him alone, but you are a solo with only six materials
There's just there's just nothing left
It's builds at the buy-in. They should be able to confirm other four points here
I'm sorry it doesn't get a shot that he needs to, so we'll be able to find 8 in total to start things off, but still a bit of an uphill battle.
You never know where the teams might be lurking.
Pedra, hit it inside the bush, and if you're not taking your bushes, that's the thing to get dicey right now.
They've got a timer though, it's their HP, they're going to be forced to use something, so they have to take the shots now.
now before the splashes have to come through giving away their position the issue is not
enough shots honestly were connected for how worth it it could have been and now when they're
forced to build up how to sell them this is where the danger can increase problem is that
these do us actually commit to fighting each other for too long both of them not really having
a whole lot of white heels to work with it could just be a fight over the vending machines
themselves, but it's really just that delay to the rotation into the zone it's
you've seen so many times before already in these past two games even how
difficult it is for teams to actually make it inside the edge of zone so when
you're stuck out in the storm for way too long you don't get that dead side
approach you you are just a walking target. JSN, I'm gonna find good
elimination there for him and Schozer. I saw the refresh check a little bit
helps here, and that leaves Retro in a really awkward position now, has to try and figure
out whether he can even 1v2 do it just over out of them, but with how much more tracking
is actually Wolko Sandy's strip right now, it's not really in his best interest to try
and force this engagement, he's just hoping that he can do enough to prevent scoser
NJSN from closing in, maybe the rest of the lobby is enough of a deterrence,
I don't want to give up their positioning just yet.
Northeast zone.
There's a lot of big names around that area.
I'm hoping that we see moving forwards here.
So far, though.
Jason and Co.
And they've got spare loot, spare heals.
Just trying to kind of play the waiting game.
There's so many more sneaky plays with net surge
coming into play.
You've got to be extra aware these days.
It's one of the most crucial things to keep in mind.
I think Terry adapted.
One 23 below is the beautiful Hala.
I'm hoping they're aware.
It's either gonna be them leaving
or somebody trying to exit the third base here.
It might be the rule, but you won't go for it just yet.
They're gonna have to make a decision.
They only have that shieldfish.
That's not gonna be the White Yield that you need.
And for Pradhawa and the mule.
Finally,
the scenes are gonna reveal themselves, adapted.
They're trying to open things up, at least able to take over at the top of the surface,
which means that they are going to be able to steal away some of the make-up,
but it's the damage that they're after.
Only 12 above, they know that they need even more.
They don't want to find themselves truly threatened here, but that's a geek from Pahala.
Of course, adapted to backup.
Just for a moment here.
The fuel is still relatively low.
Exterry, trying to see if you can find an angle.
Fine.
The constant takes between just above and just below.
It's a very uncomfortable position right now for Exterry and Adapted.
They're going to need closure.
Oh, and you'll probably not happy with the fact that this duo has actually chosen to try and sneak up on them like that.
I'd just be waiting for a chance to pounce.
Yeah, still just bouncing above the low, above the low.
Apparently at 34, but if you look at the horror to be a little there, a lot more in the safe range.
Stereo the adapted great job connecting some shots. This actually
Should be enough to give them a bit of time to breathe now the flow mist is gonna come through
They should be able to recuperate their shield and now just have to find a way to make it back to selling without the view over how we're
beaming them
And see any overdraft your knees Scott and that might be part of the problem for that duo
Even if you are above on surge, you don't have any mobility
typical
Really make use of it
I can catch up to the rest of the lobby, Ali, Lusha.
Sorry to make their move in.
Conn and Faded incredibly split from each other.
I don't know if they even realized that Faded is stuck behind them, healing in a box.
That's going to lead Faded just so exposed.
But finally, Xtari adapted, looking to see if they can close things out.
But for Hala refusing to budge with that mule, and that's going to force Xtari.
He sent back in.
I don't even know if he's going to be able to make it to the venting in time.
I'm just trying to see if you can get the heals going.
And for Prajava and Debuldo, it's been a bit of spoiler.
Having to deal with that duo, all that surge,
they just been above.
Now they find themselves, that's a little slightly below
and it's there, he's choosing to send shots towards Debuldo.
But he is just so far out, Takata,
from where he needs to be.
And as a solo now, three bandages,
Ticks from zone gonna be way too much to deal with here.
These duos have essentially just
costed each other at this stage.
The duel goes down now on the venting.
Borjala left alone, and as the storm ticks come through,
there's just one tick left.
As Borjala gets eliminated.
Howly as well, playing as a solo.
So many.
Devastating.
Surge team's going down.
I don't even know what you do if you're howly here. He's got sign knocks close by
Catch up mom so you don't want to let the attention come to them, but this is it. It's all or nothing
Still 92 below three pizza slices left. Are you gonna try and tank it howly are you gonna play aggressive?
Using up a choice he has to fight but lobby is nowhere near thinning itself out enough for the surge to be
he's just trying to find an isolated solo. He doesn't want to actually deal with that healthy duo because even one knock, one elimination, a little bit of sight then that could be the difference maker here.
Get some space, Bahariko Akiyere.
To continue wrapping around the same mountain face.
They're not going to leave any openings.
No cracks to shoot through as Howley failed out of the net surge jumps.
But one slice of pizza, ten builds, no mobility,
and a zone that is pulling up drastically shifting elevation.
It's not looking good, from being realistic, but you never know.
We've seen players come back from worse.
Fortunately for Savage and Bello, though, they're in a much better position.
Trying to set up for a very big comeback on their endgame run.
They didn't get a chance to play it out in the secondary lobby,
but with the way that the zone has pulled much more heavily in their favor,
this would be their best chance to try and net some big points.
This is the exact zone that Savage and Bello had difficulties with as well.
and the prior matches so seeing them almost 300 above looks like they're
making something work how he has gone down we're doing the deal now they're
also above so a lot of changes I mean keep in mind the zone has pulled the
ports were savage prelo drop with the deal and you on the other hand they
have had a little bit of a rotate so it's good to see them doing pretty
confident in here.
You're definitely one of those players where you let them get one elimination, you let them
get another, you just continues to keep the ball rolling.
Certainly a momentum based player.
A lot of teams starting to really get caught out currently.
Again, the shifting elevation changes.
It is brutal when you are trying to decide, do we work our way up the mountain, do
we try to build up this hill face?
Do we try to stick halfway or...
...necel into ultimate low or stash, bonya?
It's probably a lower position here.
You always want to prepare for the most difficult rotate, so if there's a possibility that it's going to pull up the hill...
...it's good to kind of play at least halfway up, so...
...if that does happen, you're ready to make the rotate happen.
He wrote the stroking out, six below.
Overdrive comes through, shots connect.
Ultimate Zofsky can't put a stroke, he's making it to the zone now though, they've done the damage to 76 above, they're gonna need more, quickly dropped to 6th.
Just 10 ticks on the ChugChug left for FlowBerry, or FlowMist on the ground.
But they don't have anything to work with you, they're gonna have to crash out into somebody's box, they need to get aggressive, they can't pick and choose the clock steadily picking against them right now.
Teams caught a little bit more towards that backside of zone, but Akira and Karama, they wanted to be here in the first place.
They were waiting for their chance to strike. They're gonna start trying first from the low ground.
They're tarping up, they're ramping up.
Waiting to see where the rest of the lobby is sort of settling into.
They have the luxury of picking and choosing their targets compared to everyone else, but Savage and Velo
Oh, might have to do things out.
The duo just on the other side of their wall.
Savage trying to get aggressive here.
One good shot got to connect on the eye, who's set acting.
But Bello's still looking for more.
A lot of attacks going inwards.
But they're not able to actually claim the eliminations.
The lobby actually taking care.
Some of those goodies that could have been theirs.
Start to shift.
Start to work towards that front side.
Bello, which is a good chunk of his HP.
has the heals to recover it though,
but the deal and you are definitely setting up
nicely currently.
Vanya and Merskash though,
trouble has struck at the worst possible timing
because this drastically shifting elevation
is gonna force Vanya to leave Merskash behind,
can't even attempt to play for the revive
instead gonna have to use his last pizza,
take everything one of those slices,
tank up a little bit of storm and hope
that he can find some form recovered
from the backside of the zone.
as I say, no, no, this is a match they needed.
They didn't kick off the day strong,
but now they're able to pick up seven 11ations.
Protossi is left alone though, and Velo as well.
Once again, you solo clutched game one, Velo.
You weren't happy with your heat's performance.
You have a second chance.
Your final opportunity with a big knock, make it count.
That's the delivery he needed though.
The Siphon from Chew is going to ruin things
for Fadil and Chew, but that's going to be
The silver lining here currently for Velo, a chance to wait and see where everyone else
is kind of moving in front of them.
So many pizza slices left to work with too, taking up these thick storm.
Now recognizing high ground, a little bit distracted here.
He's going to make his move in, manage to go.
He thought he was going to take up too much pressure from the high ground team and
he's actually front side.
Up elevation here on this hill face, looking back.
The deal could be a victim here.
That's a player that's gone down, but is being going to run smack-down into the center where Bello is facing.
He doesn't realize, he may be trying to claim, I didn't need all the skyjump, did he get a chance to actually see?
You talked about it, big walks, they went down in the early and the first matches, this is the first get-end game.
We've actually seen them in and they have to make an impact.
They cannot afford to not have a massive game here, but meanwhile you have players like Akira, Karama on the low
an incredibly healthy duo facing off against the Solos as shots continue to come through.
What a clutch though from Podeside to find himself in a top four position.
Being in walks though, they're looking for target practice.
Akita and Kurama scrambling to try and stay towards that frontside.
His own bellow caught in the middle, just sandwiched between two healthier duos.
And he'll finally be brought down, but top three is exactly what him and Savage needed.
Now walks, ping you.
Kurama, Akita challenging each other for the high grass.
It's going to be Kurama and Akira to bring it back yet again.
Victory Royals couldn't look better because they are scaling their way very comfortably
into that first place position on the leaderboard.
The back to back consistency not only coached by Skynes Grove and had an average placement
of four in the diffcups leading into this and now Akira Kurama are doing the same desk.
This is getting crazy.
I mean, I mean, I'm not
sure. I'm not sure. I'm not
sure. So go on call blue sport
here and Karama. Congratulations
to the gentlemates. They have
done it again, and they've done
it in style. Many minor. Yes,
they have really excited to see
these guys. I mean, winning
back to back games. We knew
what they could do. We know
what these guys are all about.
We know the talent that
they have, and they don't need
the high ground. They can do
it down there on the low
ground. Really, really great
said they were being coached by Sky and Skrull. But did anybody check it for Sky and Skrull
playing? I mean, right now what I'm seeing from these guys is complete and utter control
of the low ground. They understand when to take it, when to cut off teams, when to tank
it and use that space to fight. Does this not really reminisce of Sky and Skrull fighting
in the back top of the week? Can we just watch? I mean, it looks quite similar to
to be, regardless, I'm excited for these guys because it's been a community
sentiment. I think everybody wants to see the general made fans show up again and
do their thing in Düsseldorf. And for them to be able to do what they did last
year with all of the different international doers they had, for them to
be cheering on a French duo in the Kieran Kurama, two of the best, you
know, the French scene has seen in some time. I think that'd be really
exciting. And with back to back wins, you know, a solid first game as well,
like they're they're gonna be looking comfortable now. Well we're gonna head to a short break
when we come back we'll be discussing the next three games don't go anywhere.
Oh
and I don't know how to feel about it.
You're not used to losing, Gary and Deaton.
Not like this.
These players are just so locked in.
Could it be the milk?
Mm-hmm.
Aah!
It's okay.
Aah!
Stay there.
a great night for the French
and a great night for us as
well. We've got four or three
more games of fortnight to go.
If we take a look at the
standings, you'll see from that
last game that the deal and
do many minor have managed to
climb within a contention
within the top eight. And
remember, we're sending eight
euros to Düsseldorf tonight.
Yes, another good game for
the deal and do they had a
bit of a wobbly start to the
day going down to the
to the search and of course in the storm they had a bit of trouble there but back to back end games for the 7th place in this particular one a few
eliminations as well and again we spoke about it at the beginning of the day these guys have all of the experience to qualify on through here all of the talent and the deal here
with managing to solo clutch have a couple of extra placements as well so well done to these guys
Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited to see these guys continue to heat up especially if we can get you know one of them
You know, real good, you're solid clutch games.
All one from Drew, we know Drew has it in him as well.
I was going to say Drew's been on his own a couple of times
and he's been performing.
And you know what?
Mr. Savage and Velo, talking of performing,
Velo has been holding on for dear life
to get those all important placement points, seven.
We said he might have to do it
and I think he is rising to the occasion,
truly showing the lobby no remorse at times in this game.
I definitely think if he can continue to play like this,
not only will they deserve a spot at Düsseldorf,
but they will be definitely one of those strong, strong teams
on day two, who you can see, you know,
working your way into the final.
And then the day, right?
Obviously, we talked about the concerns
we would have with this duo, Mr. Savage.
Obviously, again, are they gonna be as locked into the meta?
Are they gonna be as comfortable?
Can they be as consistent?
You don't need to be.
If you can just keep doing what they're doing right here
just hitting all the shots needed, right?
Savage goes down and Velo again,
he's just in his flow state, it feels like.
Just so, so good in these end game moments,
flicking, hitting shots, finding players,
finding these little sneaky positions to hide in as well.
It's something that I think a lot of players
that are maybe newer to this sort of level of lobby
wouldn't necessarily do.
He's very, very confident, very, very calm
in those end game situations,
and that's exactly what you need at this stage.
So hopefully for them that is a great sign of things
to come when it comes to the major one summit.
I wonder if we can see Page 2 because I'm curious to see who else is currently able to
make a jump into that top eight.
You see Howley and Lusher there.
This is a duo that I'm definitely expecting to be back on that top 10 page at some point
tonight, Leven, because they're a team that we associate with consistently making to the
end again.
Yeah, for sure again, I talked about how they have sort of the most screen time it
feels like in Decepton Tis Major.
you've seen a lot of them and at times you know for the most part it's been quite positive and so
hopefully it'll be it'd be a shame to see them sort of fall away now I just find opportunity here so
hopefully they can uh pick up the pace a little bit maybe we're gonna get them back on height maybe
maybe that's the solution yeah definitely I mean I was looking at a 12th there as well PodaSci
and Sato moving up 19 at places we haven't really seen them throughout today what did they get
there was a fourth we saw of course PodaSci clutching up there at the end eight
the game. We have a lot of
players who have been eliminated
for them as well. We know what
these guys are capable of. We
know what they can do on paper
that is having necessarily
been showing it so fast today.
But that last game, hopefully
for them, another sign of
things to come, and maybe we'll
have a top three. That's all
French. We'll have to wait
and see. I'm going on. What's
guys are now in 20th. They
finally made it to the end
game. Many minor. Yeah, nice
to see these guys in end
game as well. Of course,
they've had some struggles
in the early game stages of
in this game nice to see them come alive 11 again two fantastic players on paper. We just haven't got to see the full extent of what these guys can do but realistically you should expect these guys to qualify for it.
I think the fun thing about this game was that it very much looked like
not pinging what's games of old that we used to see from them in 2024,
where they sort of like, it's time to drop down on height and get aggressive,
and, you know, they'll do what they need to do,
of course it doesn't translate into the wind there,
but more of that from them, I think, will definitely make things interesting
as we head into the back half of the tournament.
I don't think... Yeah, I was about to say, I don't think I've seen a duo
go up 30 places in one game alone,
But it's proved that they aren't going to be able to get within contention if they can ace these last three games
We're halfway through tonight's lobby before we decide our final eight
And I feel like this is the duo that's perfectly capable of that the question is though
Are they equally experienced in fact even more experienced rivals moustache and banya are they capable of doing the same?
They went up eight places in that last game, but again
and they're not making it deep into the end game still, mini-minor.
That's the problem. I think they have the potential for it,
and I think they have the potential to do exactly what Ping and Wax just did,
but the problem is, as these games keep going on,
it just makes it less and less possible.
I think if we were in a sort of last-chance qualifier win and you're in tight form,
I'd still be back with them. I'd say, yeah, I can see it.
Game five, game six, Moustache and Vanya find themselves
in a really nice position on the dead side of zone or something,
build up to height and win the game.
But right now, with how they're playing, they're running out of time.
Yeah. Again, I don't want to say I'm losing faith, but the window of opportunity is certainly closing on these guys.
And so if there isn't some sort of a big pop-off game sort of now, you know, you've got to start really looking and considering whether or not Top 8 is going to be that possible for them.
We need to see more. We definitely need to see more from these two.
it feels like it'll be so disappointing to not see them on land. I mean the fact that we have this
second chance qualifier should be an opportunity these guys should be grasping but Vanu is already
played with Vox, he's already played with Ping this season. Masash didn't even make it to the
heats of major one. These are two players we cannot concede making it to land yet on paper
this season. Mini-Mineries it's not going to happen. I mean that's a shame really because
I suppose when you look at both of their perspective, they've had a really rough season overall.
And I suppose that's really played with them mentally.
It's not something that they're necessarily experiencing very, very long time.
So coming into the day, maybe they did have those doubts in the back of their mind.
Are we actually capable here?
Because both of them individually just haven't had that great of a year.
Or they are capable individually.
We know that.
We know that they put together this duo at the last moment.
Will it be enough in these next three games?
Let's head back to Tako and Takata.
game. We're going to have to
play. Thanks, Frankie. Look,
this is a big match. Currently
we have two French throws in
first and second place. If we
look outside of the top eight,
we just had a very solid
performance from Ping and walks.
Now the issue is they're
contested. First two games
basically got zero points. I
think now they made it
happen when they got to the
end game. But what these
final matches coming through? I
I think it's one of the situations where when you look at the six through 14 teams on the
board, they're all just within that 20 point range of each other.
So we've got to wait and see who's actually going to come out on top here in Game 4 because
the lobby is ready to roll.
It's starting to get exciting here, but also the pressure is starting to get out.
We'll see if we're able to make something happen.
Teams, all starting to make their way.
Kind of just waiting to see whether or not
this aggressive situation that has just been building
non-stop over by rip tides
Continues to take place. I should how we know it's a position on leaderboard. It's up in the air right now
It's gonna be the catalyst moment for them if they're able to find a concise finish here
Not have any sort of delays
rest of their game plan that could be
What really helps them push closer and closer for that top-aid position on leaderboard
you don't get two days of competition here in the second chance qualifier you
get six matches it's not a top 20 it's a top eight you cannot afford to lose these
early games and speaking of it you don't know has been not hanging walks
they're looking to make it a 2-2 in terms of who wins this early game both
duo's at latte have made it count when they get out of latte landing as the
winners the early game fight but this time hanging walks they once again have
the upper hand sale per hand but really what they're trying to make sure of is
that XE and Fido can't intervene with their later strategies walks gonna make
sure to finish off with being extorted that's gonna send Fido trying to look
look for a different line of sight.
Held it dent is though very heavily and walks his favor,
and walks will open up and immediately bring Fido down.
That is going to be the biggest opening shots here.
First off spawn that they also win here to cut a last game,
a little bit more of a split.
That's going to be big thing in walks,
but maybe we talked about in the finals in 12 days,
it's like how many end games do you have to make?
It's hard to come up with the calculations
for a six-game competition like this,
but I'd say you have to make at least three or four endgames
and perform very well in them to get top eight.
So hanging walks now that they've had a second chance
at a strong endgame,
they're gonna need to get another top five.
And if they do, we'll see how it continues forwards.
Julie, they get a top five
and it might help them a little bit further,
still knowing that they're not gonna have to split
any of their loot with XCN Feato along the way.
Plus it allows them better opportunities to try and go for a dead side rotation off of the pad there since it won't be contested.
Karama, Kira.
They've been putting up a major one champion's performance in today's lobby.
There you are.
I want to say pretty much given for that top eight inconsistency because of the lead that they have established here at 232 points.
95% odds right now, so we're going to see these two on Dusador, but that doesn't mean that
they can afford to take it easy.
You still want to play your games through as consistently as possible, don't leave it
up to chance.
Right now their fate is fully in control of their own hands.
Switching back over to Rip Tides, Ald's Lyric against Sinox and Co.
Good news for them is there's no kind of deals in the surrounding area, so
Should be no on and by the guests to this early fight, but you really don't want it to stagger for too long
All these letticks will bex inox
But I'm still make currently Rick tides
Looks like they might have company sooner rather than later, but the storm pulls in.
They'll be left trying to fight it out for a little bit longer here.
Mr. Savage and Velo, they're just looking to see whether or not they can play a game
as a duo pairing.
We see some great solo punches from Velo now, managing to find third place and a ninth
place finish but it would be better still if Savage was right there with them.
My only concern is that they did very good last game in terms of surge especially on
that 7 zone where they had difficulties originally but the zone also pulled very heavily in their
favor so I'm hoping you know if it does end up being a far zone pull for them they can
and still get the damage that they need on the rotate.
Skyja and Momzie though,
so I do the first match where they haven't
kind of got their eliminations off the start.
They've been a little contested, a little not,
but they've been dominant in terms of always coming out
of their drop with Elims, with Lu.
And it looks like it's gonna be no different here
seeing that they're on con.
The damage has been done.
Skyja and Momzie have won the offspots
that they've had to deal with.
They've gotten aggressive also,
the team's kind of hanging out
towards the outskirts of Wankyland.
No one should be going wonky from this point forward, okay?
Skyjump and MomZ have proven that they are strong enough fighters
that they can force anyone out of this lobby,
not even just the POI, but the lobby itself.
And that's just not worth risking
when you are one of those teams
that needs a solid end game conversion
because the leaderboard just continues to pull
further and further away for all of those teams
that are not even within the top 20.
Yeah, I mean, Levin was mentioning it,
but the cutoff already being 113 points.
If you're at that lower end,
this is literally the match.
We have to make it count.
If you want to have a good chance of getting top eight,
now's the time to lock in.
And if you're Belusi Zangie,
pretty comfortably sitting in top three,
playing it how you happen in the previous matches,
they haven't really had difficulties in the early game.
They've went down 10th, 17th, 3rd, they're making it to these endgames, it's just trying to consistently place in them.
But they still don't have enough of a buffer zone to escape top 6th, 7th, and 8th. I mean 118th, 146th, one early game departure for Lucien Zangie and suddenly you find yourselves really trying to scramble yet again.
Yeah, all they're really trying to net right now is just making sure they find at least top 15 performances from this point on
It's never easy though
You never know just how many doers are going to start drastically shifting their strategies and peaks goes fix especially I think
his former trio mates
Arm and Demish
They've already confirmed their position
For the major one summit land it's hoping to do the same
time.
How to go, Kite Spanish representation, they started off in second place, but then quickly
dropped down after getting a 31st with four eliminations.
But the good news is in the last match, they got top eight and three, so that puts them
in top five currently.
But like you said, it's not enough of a buffer zone for these teams.
Now I didn't quite see what went wrong for that 31st place, but they're able
They got a top 10 in both of the other matches pretty confident that we can see them in the endgame once again
Had to guess it's probably got something to do with the way that these zones have been pulling over this
Shifting elevation. It's really tough when you're having to just burn through so much material scaling up the mountain phase
They're going right back down it
So many players when they lose their duos, you know, they like to sit about those halfway points and look for those pick-off opportunities
You and the deal though
at this at Humble Hills to open the day but other teams I've had different
intentions here at X-Force and Bevy's continuing to get scrappy three
eliminations already this is very much ramping up to be a circumstance for
Bevy's and X-Force where they've realized we don't just need a strong
placement we need a lot of eliminations to go with it if we really
want to play catch up. I mean we did see hanging walks go up 30 placements
in a single match. Now it took a really big game, but this is the big game you need if
you're Axe Force and Bedviz right now. From 45th place, it's almost another nothing here
in this match, so hopefully we see the confidence come through. Look at the ping walks though,
they've rotated west. From Latte to Wonky, great zone for them. We'll see where this
next one does close the fourth, but Maku and Ko, they don't want to get into too
much trouble they've already got even on the 4th thing in walks are really also
just trying to make sure the thing avoid the likes of Monzy and Sky Jump with
the way the zone has cooled might just be looking to kind of tuck themselves away
in a spot where they can utilize that wonkyland wheel for a solid rotation
after the fact but never want to overstep your welcome you never want
to approach on somebody else's territory like we've already pointed out
Skyjump and Monzy they have been the absolute leaders of wonky line today. Yeah, they don't like letting people in their drop
We'll hope that you know, we're far enough into the match that they don't start going super aggressive
Great, you know spot they've got on the wonky wheel
No reason really to give it up now
The only issue without having those eliminations off the rip that they've had previously is no
They're gonna have to get a bit more tags, but good news all the teams rotating in they're primed up in position
They're elevated even after rotation with the wonky wheel when needed
So I don't think we'll see too many issues for them. It's an added gear s drop very close as well
Where we are right now. So I
Expect these teams that are on this side of the map to have a big game here
Yeah, we start to see the zone pool a little bit closer towards that old stumpy landmark
Holding high you get very shaky with the way that teams are able kind of build off of those
huge trees and whatnot
Wow, though love she both left us solos
You've got quite a ways to go before they even make it into the edge of zone and
By there of them wants to try and make that reading play
happen
They've still got to make up so much ground
It's just going to cause such a massive delay on their overall game plans.
Otis and Seido, this is another duo that got a lot of points in the last match from a 22nd to a 34th.
And now in the recent match they got 4th place, 8 eliminations all the way up to 100 points.
They're feeling a lot more comfortable now, but they still need another good game to solidify
themselves in the qualifying range.
Not as much pressure on their shoulders, but the way it's looking right now, I think they
can make something happen.
I don't know about no pressure.
It's a lot of pressure, especially for Bodiceye.
I know that he's got the heart of Gentlemage cheering him on, regardless of the outcome
here but such an established veteran in the EU scene you don't want to see him
miss out he doesn't want to miss out there's so much hiding on this land
qualification right now despite them being a newly formed duo through that
French camaraderie might just be what it takes to help kind of push Ode to
Science Edo just in that top 8 metric for the leaderboard.
You know, they got 20th, 19th in the heats and also the first matches, I thought we'd see more of them having on con frozen shard.
But at least, you know, they have their opportunity in the last match to bump themselves up. Let's hope no more mistakes are made.
This is the lowest surge I've ever seen for Akira and Kurama.
It's going to say kind of shifting back to the real gentlemates representatives.
It's so odd just thinking about Poseidon no longer on that orb, but still definitely
has the heart of France with him.
Kira and Karama though, definitely will be excellent depending into this next zone.
Prism, Casper.
They're going to need a little bit more hustle into this, 50 below, not too far
enough away that they can't convert it into just the bulb on that search metrics but
try to find that damage sooner versus later as they start to move in great awareness right now
from Savage and Velo trying to keep Casper in prison at bay also were successful on a getting at
least one of those tags dropping them to 124 below now but never know desperate times call
for desperate measures here for Casper and Prism they don't have much more than the chug jugs
some shields trying to recuperate so they're gonna look to force this fight now.
I'm getting up close to Percival, personal.
Savage and fellow. I'm not sure how desperate Savage fellow are for Surge,
it looks like they got a bit of tag, so they should be pretty comfortable here.
One of the big things is just not letting shots get connected onto you, but just 75 above
isn't exactly the position you want to be in here. One shot is all it would take to put
them down below. You don't want to take those risks when you know your opponent's already
getting ticked. They're about to get cracked. It's better to play the waiting game.
They might also get the audio cue without closed Casper and Prism are of those shields being
cracked. They can't know that Casper and Prism are under surge, but they can maybe
anticipate it. How desperately Casper's trying to get this angle off onto Savage.
Prism gonna look to provide a little bit of backup here now, but Casper lost his
shield entirely is going to have to resort to using up some of that chug jug now, savage
still waiting so patiently. 104 above, it's enough. We're going to open up the edits now,
take some shots as desperate and prism. Realizing a lobby, kind of closing in on them now. Actually
going to be one of the first to run their direction, but the deal can't escape surge
and just keep inside of that storm not gonna be able to make it in.
From top six to going down before the endgame
has even begun, that's not gonna be fun for the deal and Jew continuing on.
Later section of this day, Casper now is above.
Issue is lost as teammate. Lost all his heals basically, not in the zone.
The world panic now as he rotates back in, hanging walks.
You can't afford to go down early here. There's two games. You basically got no points
Now that you're closer to the endgame once again
You need to have a big match
Wax is looking for the shot
Ches can't
Make it work. He's not right then and there get a nkarama. They're doing a decent job
Just continuing to extend their lead right now
Now, Megan walks though under so much pressure right now.
It feels like teams are looking at them from every which way.
Teams on height, teams underneath.
Might just have to force and engage them.
They really want to keep scaling up this ill face.
They realize that Casper's a solo.
That might be one of their better opportunities here.
Now sit down and get us just six below.
And it just keeps toggling back and forth.
But now, with Gittis having been claimed by the lobby,
it's gonna be Kasper who was trying to make
a desperate play for placement,
but Senedt's gonna be the one to come out on top here.
Still 202 below though on the surge.
And as a solo, even with a pizza slice,
even with the chug jug,
he's gonna have to hope that nine of the players
go down before him.
Yeah, full opposite side zone rotate.
Not gonna be easy, but Ping has gone down.
Wax has left the loan 260 below.
This is not what we wanted to see coming from the success.
It just had in the most recent match.
Wax is gonna have to make a play of a lifetime here.
And it's already starting off with an elimination,
but the journey for Wax has just begun
as he goes down the buell as well, falling shortly after.
I do see Savage fellow though.
They're looking good.
Wax might have just made it in.
placement didn't get a chance to see but those four elimination points at least he knitted something
in that position. Savage and Velo though they definitely want to try and convert this into another
top five performance if possible. Kira, Karama.
That's five eliminations. She got more than enough time. The luxury of choosing just
Doesn't seem like anybody's gonna be able to intervene.
They will manage to take a frontside position now.
Start working their way up the hill.
Solo overhead.
Not gonna be scouted out just yet though.
You see Enzangi.
What do you want?
We're gonna try and make it towards that frontside.
They can see some of the solos trickling in.
But for Savage and Velo, all they wanna do is maintain a position towards that frontside
of the zone.
Slightly elevated from the rest of the congestion of the lobby,
Momzi and Skyjump on the other hand are looking back, waiting to collapse.
And we're just looking at builds on Momzi though.
Gonna have to find a refresh soon, issue is,
shots being connected, 42 shield, 42 HP.
The big pot is gonna get used as neither player now has any heals left.
Skyjump with zero builds, they are going to have to make their way into a box,
do anything they can to find a refresh, savage and bellow though.
The big matches they had have been solo clutches from bellow. This could be the chance for them to play together
They've already got
Elimination of peace for each other and still choosing to look back
They can tell so players in this lobby are definitely struggling here
So I was gonna make the first departure from their position grab some of that loot overdrive your name send him forward
I said in the zone and be a little bit pickled to play through but
But some materials will be able to make it work.
Harama and Akira, they just have so many heals
in these low layers.
But Savage gets caught out.
Sato and Podesai on the high ground right now, though,
they have not been content with their position
on the leaderboard.
They want to see if they can draw that lead
further upwards.
Velo tried to see if he could make something happen here.
But one more time, going to be sent left
to his own devices.
Big Shot going to connect it already.
Velo gonna get the ball rolling here, but Zangy, despite finding such a nice elimination,
Velo doesn't even get a chance to celebrate it still.
It's points, it's some placement, something to contend with here as Podesai instead of now very firmly on height.
The last match, they got fourth place.
Before that though, they were in the bottom end of the leaderboard.
If they can get top five once again, it might just be enough to push them into the top eight.
From the bottom to the top, now controlling the height.
The issue is, their stage are on low.
They want to get a hat trick, the back to back to back.
Akira Kurama looking incredibly healthy, dominating.
The low ground, as Sato now is put into bit of pressure
up above, shots getting connected,
but still holding onto height.
This is just so reminiscent of Sky and Skrull's performance
playing through those low ground layers,
taking advantage of the duos that get a little bit too
separated, solos that don't have anything to work with
and are forced to just play in those lower tiers.
Sato doesn't have the HP, though.
The challenge for height is good to go.
Zedin and Pixofsky, now is your time to strike.
Zedin still gonna opt to fall just a little bit closer.
See where the rest of the lobby is sort of funneling into,
but the damage has been done.
Podesai's gonna be eliminated.
Pix now trying to see if he can find any form of elimination,
but with Pixofsky from overhead,
choosing to just apply so much pressure,
it is so problematic.
Kurama might not have a whole lot of builds to work with,
But he does have some psycho materials that he could potentially pick up from all of those players stuck inside of the low ground layers.
It looks like it might just end at a 2v2.
Serin, Pixofsky though, they caught the upper hand in terms of positioning actually, their armor now is left alone.
Two solos down below with duo up above. This is the first match. Pixofsky and Serin have been in the top ten.
Look, either these solos are going to flash head to head.
Our Fiksoski and Sedan are just going to look to swoop in for the finishing blows.
It's all about Kurama right now, though.
Eight eliminations already.
Can he make it?
Nine.
He's just looking to try and capitalize on this other solo that's running around the
low ground with him.
But it's going to be Fiksoski who finds Picks first.
Still a great top three finish there.
Four Picks and Ghost.
It doesn't matter if it happened as a solo.
the points come in all the same here and with the background pulling over this
little face to cut it's like I'm like it's off skin center gonna close this one
up a Kira Karama had the chemistry just as sky and scroll did the only thing
they're missing now is the solo clutch potential both sky both scroll they did
it in the finals they did it all throughout the year let's see if
Karama has that as well so waiting game right now though seven doesn't have
any white heels Karama actually had those pizza slices the chug jug to work with the spoils up their
efforts here right now Karama content to just sit deep inside of the storm Sanon and Pixofsky
they're hoping they're wondering what's this guy gonna actually show his face said and now
because he's set a lone wolf mission he's to see if he can find where Karama is at but he's got
the stock parlour goodies.
Sarin is already down 10 left in the chug jug,
and Somsky can't figure out where he's at.
Karama with the at trick,
but a victory royale finish just excellently played
through that end game.
I am speechless.
I really don't even know what to say anymore.
Akira, Karama, they are playing at a whole other level.
I mean, this is absolutely incredible.
And Franky Levin, you take it away because I am lost for words.
It would be audacity of these guys to do it not once, not twice,
but three times in a row.
And with a heel up, no less than many minors.
You know what?
I was holding out with that heel up for once in my life.
I really wanted to see it and I wasn't disappointed.
Well, this is incredible.
What's a performance from Akira and Karama?
they have just been putting on an absolute display of excellence today and the cast has
mentioned it playing a lot like Skye and Scroll down on that low ground and it's just been
excellent to watch them all throughout the day. That's their third eliminated, their
third victory royale as you say, in a row and we spoke about it at the beginning
of the day. We felt like these guys had a little bit too much for this lobby. They
were too good really to be in this position, had a bit of an upset really I guess you
you could say in the major finals and they have come out to play yet again today. Pretty
much you have to imagine qualifying through already. Even this end game, really nicely
played, got very fortunate you have to say with that 12 zone of course not quite working
out for the team up on high of course as it came all the way back down but even here
in these final moments just finding all of these heels that was the crucial elimination
and I think Karama actually played these heels a little bit earlier than he would
have liked. I think there was a moment there where he would have actually wanted
you know, you're not going to
play inside of the zone a
little bit longer. You start
popping them with around 20.
25 seconds to go there is,
of course, it's one of those
where he wanted to play earlier.
He wanted to try and get those
heels off, but thankfully it
worked out very well. So is
it's just a case of these guys
finally not having a troublesome
Osborn situation they're able
to handle that now at
way back in Grands Leven.
I think the key thing when you have a team like this, right,
is they have the talent, right?
Everyone's been telling them that all season long.
You guys have to tell them
you have the ability to showcase what you can do.
You now have the guidance of a top team who's done it.
They've shown you that pathway, they've set that path,
they've shown you, they've guided you.
You just have to follow it in,
take the shots, they know what they need to hit.
And I think that's one of the key differences in everything.
All right, it's been fantastic to see Kelly
do it for the fourth time.
I don't know, but I do know
We need to take a short break when we come back. We'll be discussing the other duos in the lobby
Watch me arrive
Oh my god.
Oh!
Woo!
100!
I got hit.
I'm popping an edge here.
It helps him build up.
Wait, did you have a thing?
Open! Open!
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
back. Welcome back to the FNCS
second chance qualifier and it's
been quite a night for the
French because so far, Kira and
Kurama have managed to get three
victory royals back to back a
fantastic night also for the
likes of Skyjumper Munze and
we're starting to see Podosai
the next couple of games, but
right now we should talk about
picks and goes because I feel
like we haven't spoken much
about picks this season. He's
almost been overshadowed by his
ex teammates, Dom and Demos and
mini minor, but he's having a
great night so far. Yeah, he
is. You saw, of course, playing
with a mustache for a lot of
this season. That's why
really we haven't really seen
too much of him because of
course, mustache and a key
or they do or picks, I
should say they didn't
actually necessarily have a
great season at all. We
all when it comes down to it, but now finding some real great success with Ghost here, of course,
a little bit of a hot and cold day, I guess you could say, when you look at their placements,
and eighth, a second, and sixteenth, and then, of course, a third in this last game,
but it's actually really nice to see them popping off.
Can you guys see me? I just want to make sure you guys see me. I'm here.
No, you can't see me.
Okay, well, look, look, Pigsofski, Seren, I think one thing we know about these guys is
death in the surprises and we
saw that obviously here in this
endgame again the games are
wrapping up and so you want to
start to pick up the pace as
things sort of close out. You
do not want to see the lobby
pass you by and I think it'd
be a shame for them to slip out
of them. So to see them have
that game pushed them up nine
places. Very good. Yeah I think
they'll be very happy with that
given that they narrowly missed
out on that last victory Roy
out due to a heel off and I
have to say Karama having
the luck of being surrounded by
and then we'll have to
get into the next game. So
we'll have to get into the next
game. We'll have to get into the
next game. We'll have to get
chug jugs as well. Um let's
talk about Savage and fellow
if we can because I think that
this is a master performance
from from no remorse, AKA
fellow. He keeps dragging them
onwards through those end
games, even when he's found
himself in these solo situations.
I'm repeating myself from the
last post game boys, but it's
been fantastic to see the two
you know, it's a lot of
situations where, you know,
you know, they'll have to get
some puts on the board. The
one thing I will say is this
game probably was a bit smoother.
We saw a bit more action from
the both of them mini as the end
game unfolded. And so again,
heating up when it matters the
most. Yeah, it's nice to see
Savage actually trying new or
getting more involved in these
end games, of course, going
down there first again, but it's
nice to see the most making it
there. I think they're
definitely heating up. They're
definitely warming up. And if
they do make it into this
to make it through. The fact
is Mr Savage is currently in
Paris 11. You said he's been on
the holidays. So if these two
do make it to Düsseldorf, we
know that they're going to be
putting the hours and the
practice in because Mr Savage
has got a reputation drop hold.
He doesn't want to disappoint
the fans and he he really does.
He's always trying to make it
through. But I think if
they're still playing as well
as he is, they should make
it through. The fact is Mr
Savage is currently in Paris
11. You said he's been on
the holidays. So if these two
the game. They've been really
consistent. They've been really
consistent. It really does. He's
always showing up. So fingers
cross for him. Also fingers
cross for banging. Belushi as
well. They had a fantastic couple
of first games and they're
definitely in contention for
making it to Düsseldorf. Many.
Yeah, they've been really
consistent actually looking at
their match history today.
They've been really solid. It's
a team that we spoke about
earlier on the season as being
really solid and really
consistent up on height, but
they're not really found that
necessarily height success in
this lobby and it's kind of
working out for them. They've
been playing more towards those
that's what matters. You need
to have these consistent games
and they're doing so pretty
well right now. Yeah, this is a
team I expected to do well in
this lobby just because they
were one of the teams who
showcase this type of ability in
the heat right and again, I
feel like we walked away from a
lot of those games going on the
minute is hanging. But Lucy,
they might have something for
us here, right? And again,
wasn't able to translate more
beyond that. But I think again
the point of this lobby means
that they have found that
confidence again. They they
almost found their rhythm and
So guys, the limb numbers, Kira and Karama have twice as many of the limbs as the next
strongest duo. Everyone else is 14, 13-ish, sometimes a few below that in the top 10.
But these guys are doing so well, I wouldn't be surprised if they pick up the next victory
Royale and we're about to see if that can happen because we are ready for game number
five with Taka and Jakob.
Just the fact that Akira and Karama have won 75% of the lobbies that have taken place so far today, Takata.
That is a disgusting metric to work by.
You would think that these guys have been landing north battle with Boulevard the entire season without excellently the performing here today.
And speaking about where they're landing, I'm trying to think now what's gonna happen at Summit.
They're not gonna contest Sky and Scroll, obviously.
If we go off where they were landing previously, they'd be contesting Darm and Dimish at the Summit.
But let's focus back on the games today because the next game, game number five is ready to go.
Certainly leaves the mind to wonder whether or not they even want to revert back to that original position.
Not to say, though, that you're going to contest the duo that is helping you out.
I don't expect that to be an outcome.
So funny.
After today's performance, it would just be a little bit too evil of Fortnite.
I don't really think that Kirin and Karama are looking to get wicked and that sort of narrative.
But for right now, pawning in onto this engagement over by Riptides, Lusha, Howley,
they're in position, striking range right now for top eight. They cannot afford to go down
off spawn though if they want to keep the dream alive. And at the same time, Takata,
There's really not a lot that you want to be splitting here at Rift Tides.
They're going to have to find closure. They're going to have to find eliminations.
They got their protein at their stakes.
This is an important match for Howley and Lesha.
They got fourth game, one, 18th game, two, but since then, 32nd, 44th.
They cannot afford another low point match.
They need to make something happen here.
They set themselves up for the last match, put themselves in qualifying range.
It literally all comes down to this early game.
The problem too for this duo is that everybody else that stores this west side of the map,
they're fully aware of the fact that these two teams have just been clashing non-stop.
Since lobby number one, Hallie and Lusha have been trying to claim their stakes towards riptides,
but Xynax, BluVax, Rift used a bunch.
They're not just gonna let this go for free.
They know exactly what kind of goodies being able to sit on the vending machines, just too many advantages that both of these teams want to be able to utilize.
Granted, it's obviously gone better for how we unlush them.
But for Ijo and Keto, we thought Wonkyland was already done and settled, done and out.
There's still teams that would like to try and claim it.
Sky Jump though, looking to push back Keto, Ijo, and then one more shot and they're going to be able to find it.
What really matters here, Takata, as exciting as it is to see a surprise contest, Sky Jump and Momzie should be fine.
Realistically, the math works out in their favor because they have consistently been making the end games.
I don't expect them to get pushed outside of the top eight from this one early departure from the lobby, but for Ijo and Keto, now they've got to convert.
You've found those eight points off the elimination,
but can you make it towards a strong top five finish
to put yourself into contention for consistency?
Is it fine though?
I mean, Sky Jump Momsie, 180 points.
The cutoff is 148.
I wouldn't be surprised if they've become the cutoff now
going into the last match in it.
The early game goes like it did here.
This could be devastating for Sky Jump and Momsie.
Like you said on the other hand,
Jokai though
They're feeling a little happy now smiles on their face
I mean they just got two he lives off the bat they have one of the best POIs now they're gonna have blue they're gonna have mats now obviously
The heart part is still not done
So we'll see if they can close it out in the late game, but how we lusher we talked about a taco
They need to come out on top here
They've got to try and turn this around because the longer this fight goes the less that either of these two will have to work with and the way that this fight also just keeps shifting further and further south.
Howly, Lusha, finally going to be able to get the opening strike here, but it's onto a separate duo entirely.
They opted to rotate and address Maldives and Liquex, but again, Howly and Lusha, they don't really have much that they can afford to lose.
They have to make sure that they are finding it's just the eliminations.
Eight points, definitely going to help them out.
No, this is a big start.
This is a big start for them.
They just have to focus more on kind of their standard game plan.
They need to get matched.
They need to get kitted up.
The late game, they have the eliminations back over.
Savage fellow.
The issue is they've always been kind of in that top eight in that qualifying
range, but it's been on the cusp of it.
One bad game is enough to put them out.
So if they're able to get a big one here in the second to last match, it could solidify
a spot higher up, but if not, pressure's going to stay.
They've only had one lobby outside on the top ten, but this is where disaster strikes.
Savage caught off guard.
They pushed over towards that north side of Tarzumian really early on.
They wanted to try and build up their medal.
But Ziffy and Jerdy just had other intentions now fellow left as a solo
Fortunately, it is so early into the game that they should be able to try and make a play for a reboot. It's just
the repercussions of
that kind of game plan delay
Recovering all of that lost surge
It's gonna be a bit of a feat to overcome but savage and fellow can get it done
Making me a little stressed now, though.
Howly Lusha back again in another fight.
Looking like they don't want to slow down.
A big shot was connected from Howly, but Lusha has taken shots, so...
It basically just evened up.
They do have control of vending here at Battlewood now, so the heals will be recuperated as well as the shields.
But there's still so many teams in the surrounding area.
Good amount of gold, but there's also teams there at that self-automated position that haven't been there from the start of the day
everybody
Just doing everything in their power
Pulling out all the stops to see whether or not that's going to be the difference maker and the leaderboard outcome
Sinette and get us. They're gonna take a little bit more of a scenic route
Lili away from everybody else in the lobby. They'll be opting for that dead side approach
Question is did they manage to establish enough search in advance to where that won't be?
And a forping away at them
They make their entry to zone
Now they picked up an elim but in the middle of the ocean they'll find another one
West of rip tides
This is the team that was in front.
Yeah, they chased this, like, good amount of professional swimmers, it seems.
The deal in Jue, last game, did not go their way.
Thirty-fourth place, zero eliminations.
They were doing so well with a seventh and a fifth, but once again fell down early.
I'm really hoping they can set themselves up for the last match, I mean, in 13th
Currently, they're a little more than 30 points or around exactly 30 points away.
It's definitely still feasible for them to try to make a good push sort of leapfrog and overcome some of those other teams inside of the leaderboard.
All you need is eighth and above. As long as you can make it there and hold on to it for the last lobby,
You'll find yourself with a battle bus ticket towards a major one summit land and sure enough
Velo has been able to make the reboot play, but on the north side of zone, afterno that
there's going to be a lot of teams already boxed inside a slightly better position.
So they've got their work cut out for them.
Fortunately, they've done a decent job today.
Like I mentioned, only one lobby where they actually fell outside of that top 10 range.
They could find another top 10 placement.
They might just have done enough to confirm their spots for LAN.
It's close, but it's definitely very possible.
Looking quite bright, so this game honestly decides a lot for most of these players.
every one of these players as a quick sneaky play is coming at three to one and it will be a success
and that's what you want to see from a sneak play you you don't want the shots to miss
you want them to confirm nice elimination buffer screw it next
chill and silence after storm just don't need a little bit more metal too
to push an alley on the other end of things.
They might just be the cutoff point.
Even if you find those eliminations in Storm,
it's another thing entirely to make sure
that you can actually utilize it
and actually get into zone.
Hang in walks.
Didn't quite see exactly how the start kind of played out
here, but seeing that they have one elimination
on the board and assume they went quite in their favor.
The issue I have is after that second place,
they did jump up 30 places on the leaderboard.
But then they only got 24th with three eliminations.
I mean, it's not terrible, but this
is a duo that needed some massive matches.
It's so scary, too, because with the consistent
all-span fighting that's taking place between the XEN
being duals. Now both of those teams are out side. At the top eight you can see our leaderboard
our leaderboard my leaders here in Karama they have been eliminated but they have such a huge lead
over the rest of the lobby there's there's no real reason for concern they have definitely
confirmed their tickets to the major one summit land we will be seeing them play
And some of those other teams leave on a Saturday performance, but walking back in game five
It's a reminder all the top eight teams that do qualify today
Will go directly to day two at the Düsseldorf summit land. So they only get one chance to make the Sunday finals
Versus of the teams who have already qualified not through the second chance
We'll get two opportunities if they don't make it after day one
So I'm curious to kind of have a drop spots change up
As that goes on but for Sinox and co for elims to kick this off
They're in 30 at 56 points going into this game now just from the elims already bumped themselves to 72
One big endgame could be enough
But it's gonna need to be a top five top three performance ideally a lot of
eliminations behind it Moustache and Vanya sitting at just 44 points headed
into this fifth lobby even though this isn't the last lobby of the day Takata
this is likely their last opportunity to stay within
of being able to make it into that top 8 off consistency, they have to close out here with
a top 3 performance. They need to find eliminations if possible too. It might be in the final
hour, but both of those players, it would just be obscene. I see them miss out still.
It is a rather likely outcome based off of what's taking place here today.
You know, both of them don't want to miss it, though.
You never know what Moustache's got cooking, okay?
We might be able to see a fragger performance of a lifetime here with Vanya and IGL.
Hope is still there.
I'm not going to give up on it just yet.
I hope so, Taco.
I hope so.
Up she practice second closest to make finals and not qualify and now they're also in 12
We move on over a maku
Casper acts for Sangy Volusi so many big duos here and even more rotating in this is not the place you want to take a fight
There's just too much danger in the surrounding areas
These teams that are fighting inside of the to take there be much more susceptible to storm sickness later on
It's evident that the intention is to rotate a sandy strip cube, a little bit of healing
in ball two off of those pizza slices so they can tank up some, but they don't want to lose
all of their heals towards the storm.
Mix and goes, 212 points currently in that second place position on the leaderboard.
Another duo that's looking very likely to confirm their spot for a piece of workbook.
Right now, got locked in here, Harco and Kirae got Hydro and Kito on the ropes here.
I don't get up to a bit of an explosive start against guys up in Mom's here
But that was just the beginning half of the battle one-for-one exchange article now
It's trying to see if you can bring down I Joe with it and sure enough
cuts things short for hi Joe and Keto
This article and kid a managed to hold strong the revive. No problem
Hi Joe and Keto that is a huge issue
They've got so many points to try and overcome in that last lobby.
But for Haruko and Kire, that might have been the best eliminations for them of the whole day.
They can make it back into zone.
Sange Balusi third place right now, one of the most comfortable teams,
but they could honestly close out their qualification in this match if they do well enough.
But with Sange not being able to use the chug jug in time, Balusi being left alone,
It's not what you'd like to see.
It's tough, but they were still sitting in third.
We are seeing a couple of pickups though.
Two teams inside at the top three.
Haruko, Kyure.
They got their work cut out for them still.
185 below.
Got to start looking at some of those teams, cross the way, maybe get a little bit more
aggressive even.
Well, they're in Mr. Nade, so this trail's off for them.
They'll likely have to follow the rotates here.
Still trying to see what shots they can net for themselves, but people are above now,
and that search jumping in their favor.
Maku.
They're just going to have to get scrappy.
They've got to get active.
39 below.
Casper.
Prism.
Unfortunately, on the receding ends of things.
That's going to be the first elimination found on the Casper.
3 in total now, 4 maf and looking to see if he can make it a 4th with Prism, but Prism will manage, wiggle away, 158 above.
Not really a fight that octu has the force any further.
Yeah, this 6th, 7th zone is where a lot of teams get kind of flippant desperation.
4th, Storm Surge, and Cargo the Spike, those 2 quick eliminations, they damaged the receiving, or the damage they received was just too much.
After losing Qid-A, going down even further, 378 below, they're gonna be in for a high pressure last match.
We don't see a big solo flush come through, but Hargill has gone down.
Kira, Sinet on the other hand, almost 800 above.
We've only got two teams in the top five that are still standing at this point in time.
Mr. Savage, hello though.
From Savage having gone down in the early games now,
both players up in the late with almost 900 above surge.
What a comeback in this match.
Same case scenario though,
former Stash and Banya,
they've got more than enough surge to work with,
but can they manage to turn this into a victory royale?
That's really what they're hunting for in this fifth lobby.
Eliminations are always nice.
Keeping tabs of your search so you can put yourself into the best position that is the intention right now for the deal and you
Search chopped in half by the way. That's just a best indication of how
Volatile the net search metrics accent can be sort of with the control those picks though
The only team left standing in the top five. We are likely going to see a little bit of a shuffling
between those duos that are in that fourth and fifth place position and some other teams
that are just outside of it thinking back.
Savage, Velo, 168 points, they're not that far away.
They would love to be in top five instead as Picks cut off.
Completely separating a duo.
Then Vika though doesn't have a chance to think.
He's just got to keep it moving forward, keep it pushing.
Reunite with his duo later on because if you get caught in this congestion right
now strong duos like the deal and you likely looking to take advantage of it
it's not worth to take those big shots when you're just on the cusp of being the low surge
the deal and you now once again comfortably above the shoe is they gotta find the rotate here you
don't want to suffocate in between other players builds but with the knock in front of them they're
gonna get a refresh as they quickly go right back where they have their base
A little bit of material to work with.
Really healthy amount of builds there on the deal.
Jiu just continuing to claim even more space in those lower layers.
Seeing Vanya and Mirstash, Vanya known for wanting to take height, but can he actually
make it there?
This is first and second place at the Global Championship.
I mean these were some of the biggest names in Fortnite competitive, Mirstash Vanya.
They have to get the job done.
You have Mr. Savage, fellow.
I'm hoping we see the chemistry from this duo come through.
There's been a lot of solo clutches.
But if there's any moment in time you
want to see both players up, both players
performing for their best of their abilities,
now is the time to deal with you as well.
Looking good.
With an item moneymaker, they need this.
They can't afford to let panic take over.
You have to settle your nerves.
Drew and Vadil though, the placement points,
helping them mount dividends.
132 now, just continuing to try
and scrap their way into that top eight position
of the leaderboard.
Otis Aisado from overhead,
they've currently got full control of the high ground.
If they're going to need a refresh,
they're going to need more material.
Duel like Savage,
parking directly underneath them from secondary height.
They might be looking four to 10,
but first they're gonna get focused
by the rest of the lobby that's left scattering underneath them.
The lower layers, though, just getting absolutely
swapped on right now by Savage and Velo, wasting no time.
See if they can secure even more eliminations here.
They know that those teams are flashing head on.
And Savage is going to continue tarping forward.
Velo probably moments away from dropping a loop
or some body loop here.
But it's for Stash and Vanya.
They've got three eliminations here from their Stash.
And he's got nothing left to work with.
They've been cleaned out of the lobby.
Little bit of placement built up, sure,
but they have so much to overcome
in this sixth game of the day.
Right now, the Ovello elimination onto Lushia.
That's exactly what they needed.
More materials to work with,
more of a buffer zone inside of the top five now.
But Ovello, he's not done just yet.
He's gonna help Savage start to lead the charge here.
The deal, Jew also hoping that they can finish strong.
The only five builds to work with for nine as well. Left is a solo. Good news is he has more than enough material. Savage has gone down though.
Fellow once again left at another solo clutch. But he knows how to handle the pressure today. Fellow has not been disappointing.
They've been making top ten after top ten solo clutch after solo clutch. Fellow once again finish it off strong.
214 points. This could be enough to put you in qualifying range. As Protosize
Saydo, they've lost fight in the last game. They've got a second chance at it
and now they're looking to close it out.
Nello realizes though he's been spotted by Hager and he's gonna have to try in
two versus one but he can't hold on at separate angles.
Protosize Saydo doing a great job of clearing out an isolated solo here and now
it's all about the nine. He was trying to make the approach sneaky but
He's spotted out forced to drop all the way down ultimate low his last floatering miscredent
Jay Pooka sliding around but won't be able to convert another elimination for nine stuck inside the mayhem of that floatering miscredent
Somehow some way no one spotted him out just yet to going for a little bit of a heal-off opportunity now
Every bit of placement counts at this stage is Xynax
avalo
Wolfax all these teams still littered around the low ground
But it's Xynax and Wulvax who might have the advantage here
Dealing with two separate solos due though from height might be able to bring them down
Looking like a zero build that fits. Yes almost everybody's out of mats
They have to hit their shots now another player goes down. It's the Bule now Jew is left alone and they won v2
Can he make it happen?
He's gonna get frag you with this one. It would be monumental for him in the deal score line, but Xynax
They're not going to make it easy to looking for the opening shot.
Not going to be able to connect though and the duo turns around and brings him down.
Nice victory royale to seal things out here in game five, but we are definitely going
to witness some leaderboard shake up the Kata, 6th and 8th place looking very questionable
right now.
Yeah, a lot if not all of the top five duels went down incredibly early in that match
and as Zynox, Wolves, I don't even know how many eliminations they had.
It was more than 10, so they are definitely bumping themselves up in the standings.
What a performance so far, but we have to head back to the desk before we close out the last
game of the day.
Is it too little, too late?
We will see when we see the standings after the break, but we're dealing to a very close
second for them there at mini minor.
What did you make of this result?
that's going to be a big
big thing for him. He's got
a point to prove 11 to, you
know, to say, Yeah, this is a
position that I need to find
myself in this position I
deserve to be in, and especially
if they can qualify all the way
to the summit. That would be
absolutely huge for this team.
Yeah, absolutely. I think we
are going to have a lot of
players in the team. It's
going to be important for him,
of course, playing with truly
for a lot of the year. I
think you've got a bit of a
point to prove 11 to, you
know, just to say, Yeah,
this is a position that I need
to find myself in. This is
Yeah, absolutely. I think we all have sort of been highlighting that story of right to split from truly and Xynax and who was going to come out of the better side of it.
I think for quite some time, it obviously just looked like it was going to be truly right. Obviously they made it to finals.
But Xynax paired up with Wolves. They're not letting the dream fade away.
They're going to keep pushing and fighting till the very last game. You have to respect it, especially for two players who, you know, especially in the case of Wolves.
I hear was he was playing in the major finals as well and didn't have the best of times. You could say that and so now paired up with
Zynox, but it's been a quiet day, but there's still one more game to go.
169 points is no joke, especially when you consider how close the points are within the top 10.
So they may very well have a chance if they can have a fantastic game six.
We'll be talking about the stakes after this break.
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.
and it's a good thing.
A reversal of fortunes in game
number five here at the FNCS
Europe major one second chance
qualified because Akira and
Karama who managed to get three
victory royals back to back
actually went out in 50th.
They know they have already
qualified for the major one
have a fantastic end game in
game six to know that they
booked their ticket. So let's
talk about the big names on the
leaderboard because I have to
say looking at the top eight
guys, we're in for a banger. If
these euros make it to this
off. I mean, they're going to
be joining some illustrious
names already, but I'm so
excited, especially to see
velo and Savage currently in
the end of the game. It's
really, really good performance
in the end game so far today.
They've made consistent end
games. Well, they've had one
bad game and game in game out.
It just seems like the exact
same story 11 just clutching
up solar clutching from from
bellow a lot of the time as
well. But I think this game
was a little bit more of a
challenge than it was
in the end game. So far
today, they've made
consistent end games. Well,
they've had one bad game
and game in game out. It
just seems like the exact
same story 11 just clutching
I think this game was a little bit more from Savage as well.
It's nice to actually see him making these end games and growing into it.
Yeah, I've not been able to check the solo point numbers,
but I wouldn't be surprised if Velo was leading the day.
He has really stepped up to the occasion,
and that's what you want from these new talents, right?
We've been picking them up, hyping them up all season.
Is this a new era? Is this a new generation?
I think Velo very much wants to be a part of that.
No remorse being shown today in the lobby.
And another good game like that one,
one and they will be, you know, looking at tickets to do some little for looking at flights.
I'm really excited to see where the logo goes from here. I'm also excited to see that protests
are in sector after really disappointing start to this lobby have picked up the pace in
the second half, Levin. They are making end games. They are taking height, but can they
take it once more when it matters most in game six?
Yeah look, a great game for them and a game that pushed them into that qual range.
I'm almost gonna say slightly disappointing though because they had height and they just couldn't
really do anything with it right so you can see here, say they're waiting down with zero
eliminations and you're gonna see the same thing actually happen with Podesai.
Podesai went down with zero innings, they had a sixth place zero-limb game.
Again, it's enough to push them up and get them slightly more comfortable by
But like many highlighted, the margins are still so tight.
Hopefully, you would have wanted them to capitalize a bit more
on that game when a lot of their top competitors were out of it
and they're up on high.
But all in all, I like what I'm seeing for these guys.
The momentum is there.
Big last game here now and we'll be rooting for Poder side
to get it done.
I think they have a good chance as well.
Remember, they're sort of uncontested at the north side
of the map, just to sort of the east of Fridgen Fortress,
right?
So, you know, they're early games looking solid.
You can see that with the lack of eliminations as well.
they're able to find their size to actually in a good way, not take too much damage as well.
And even in that end game, they had high, they had a good situation.
And it was Sato there that dropped down a little bit, ended up being a little bit too split and got caught off guard.
So if they can avoid that happening in this final game, get another sort of top 10 situation, they should be just about fine.
Well, we managed to see another one of those clutches that Vazil is known for in the last game,
although it was Ju who found himself in the 2v1 situation.
Interesting to see that these guys are represented for the lobby tonight though,
11 and the fact that they've only got 13 eliminations five games in obviously they're not the only ones
But I'm wondering if they're gonna have to step things up and take a few more chances in this last game
Well, I'd say this is one of the teams I feel really good about just as far as again what we've seen from them today
I think regardless, you know, both of these players are capable of stepping up when needed
but they've been really, you know, there's been some great teamwork I think from them and
You know many one of the words you always sort of see with
teams that are sort of joined together for these formats.
What a shot that was, by the way.
Sato had no chance.
It's, you know, maybe people not being on the same page,
like the chemistry not quite being there,
but I think for these guys, it looks a lot better
than what we've seen from other people in the lobby.
Yeah, it's a great point.
So I think, of course,
Ju was making the finals of the Major One finals here
just last weekend,
and I think we had a few issues, him and country there.
I think there was a few chemistry issues.
They kind of got on each other's backs a little bit.
And the chemistry within that,
Ju wasn't great when it came down to it,
I think, of course, you'll feel something in the end.
So the fact that he can sort of put that behind him now,
new teammate coming in with the deal,
I'm sure the deal will be really promised.
We're looking to be really promising
this competition as well,
because he's just in form as well.
So the combination of both of those stories
kind of makes sense.
And Mr. Yo and I, it's nice to see it sort of coming
to fruition here.
Yeah, and they've got the motivation
of the potential to play in front of a home audience
and this door.
Don't worry guys, I'm going to practice saying that one
so many times in the next few weeks.
Let's take a look at the leaderboard because as we've already mentioned, it's really close in terms of points right now and anything can happen after this game.
Nothing is guaranteed apart from Akira and Kurama basically already booking their spot to Disadolf.
So we could have some movement even within this top 20, this Page 2, mini-minor.
Yeah, it's really, really, really close. I mean, we saw Zinocs have a good game right there.
That boosted them up massively into that top 10 as well.
the game. We're going to be
playing a little bit of a
bit of a battle. The hollow and
Jake Boca there, moving up 10
that spot. So it's so so close.
These off spawns are going to
matter even more. These end
games are going to matter even
more and for the teams that
are in around maybe between
sort of eight, then maybe
15th. If you have a good game
here, you could definitely find
yourselves at the major one
summit. So guys, this is it.
There's no third chance
qualifier. This is the last
at the PSD Bank dome in Düsseldorf.
So, Taco and T'Kata, let's find another winner.
I'm excited, but I'm also stressed,
especially for duos.
Even some of them that are in the top eight.
I mean, SkyJump, Momsy, they went down
basically off spawn in the last match.
They've been in the top eight throughout the whole day.
But if they have a repeat of last game,
they will literally not qualify.
I think they would mentally implode
if they had a repeat of the last game
because it would just be way too reminiscent
of what happened to them in the actual game
to find themselves.
Keep in mind, Takata, they were right there on the cusp.
So can they do it?
Can they close it out?
We'll find out here in game six.
176 points is what the cutoff currently is for top eight.
It's gonna change a lot in this last match though.
You're in the top eight.
You're just trying to play as consistent as possible.
If you're one of the teams that's more of the middle end
of the leaderboard, Glubsheet, Brax, truly,
Gonzo, Lito, Dexy, even some a bit closer up.
Everything is on the line, just like Rahali and Lusha.
They don't want to go to riptides.
They're just going to take the aggressive marks off
of the battle bus.
A little bit too dicey for them
to want to put their fates into what
might happen with that consistent off-spawn.
Just because you find a knock doesn't mean
you're able to get the elimination after the fact.
And new sanctuary just has so many more visitors.
This is going to be a very messy off-spawn
for more parties than just Ali and Lusha.
And right now, nobody can feel safe.
Nobody can feel settled in.
Killba, Fahawa, trying to see what they can do
for a recovery point, but the lifeline,
it's looking grim right now.
Kielba won't be able to escape and that's the end of the line here for Kielba and for
Awa.
All the first two woes that are going to be eliminated from their opportunity to try and
make it to just the last minute, but Lusha, Howly, not out of this just yet, still in
the thick of their Lusha on his last two legs here and he won't be able to make it out.
Matre, Siley, playing spoiler right now.
Howly, where are you at?
Even if he wants to play backup he's lost most of his shield
He's just gonna look to try and take the port of body out of here. No doesn't get the chance went too far past and
Fully try to escape
Yeah, we gotta be careful as the chase comes through how Lee is now cracked, but he gets a nice counter shot to connect
Will it be enough for his opponents to disengage?
Saley does not want any more of it as Howie now is put in a tough spot.
His teammates down as they're gonna have to play the slow game here, go for the reboot.
And it's just getting started.
For a moment I really thought that I was just watching some kind of horror movie
passing you know you're kind of wondering like how is this guy still
getting caught by the attacker and Howie I mean I understand it not very many
options left to run especially when you're dropping at an area that you don't necessarily
have the greatest amount of practice with considering that they really wanted to just
try and make sure that riptides could be their home base but just not going to be the case
here.
Alley still left trying to get some form of recovery but the tunnels just continue
to get more and more visitors is,
after I'm still stuck and waiting,
but there is just so much to deal with here.
Only 22 points.
Also, Takata, you're playing for the Rebu.
You're playing to hope you can bring your duel
back into this one.
They need more than just the victory out at this stage.
They need, like, double-digit eliminations, too.
I go for the bellow and savage.
I mean, shout out.
The fellow, he has been playing absolutely incredibly today and I mean both players they've been keeping up the pace top 10
Every single game except for the second match of the day where they got 36
announced in pretty comfortably at 214, but
they still need to do
Something here in this match to fully solidify themselves a qual
A quick showcasing of the leaderboard, just to let everybody know Akira Kurama, they have been eliminated extremely quickly, again here in game six, but they've already done more than enough to Kata.
They're not going to be pushed outside of the top eight. They will be at Dusseldorf to play in day two. Right now though, we're trying to wait and see who's going to join them, Ghost and Picks here at Battlewood Boulevard.
and not having to deal with the likes of Akira and Kurama.
That's just going to make things all the easier for this duo to potentially net some big success here.
Yeah, they're quite comfortable as well in second place, the amount of points they have.
They don't need much this game.
Casper though, put into panic.
That blocks them, paying, pick up two quick eliminations.
This is what they needed though.
100 points on the board is not gonna do it.
They need a big match, honestly might even need a win.
They need a win or they need at least 8-9 eliminations, if not more, and a top 3 placement.
They've already gotten a second here today, so it's not unrealistic to think that they
could possibly run it back one more time, but when everybody else is also hunting with
very similar intention. It's not going to be an easy mission to accomplish.
Ezra, Tulsiah, hunting for this last player. They've already got one elimination.
They just want the extra four points to go with it. You have to remember, 10th place right now
is 169 points entering this game, Picada. So all of these Duos that are sitting just around that 100
point threshold they know it's it's it's go big or go home they're all hunting for that Victor Royale
pressure is on for the final match of the day for the duo that has done incredibly well
they kind of solidify themselves in a great spot leading into this final match is Fadil and Ju
fifth place 190 points they got second last game i mean Fadil thinking back to the last FNCS
Duos in 2024, the reason he got 7th, 4th, and 5th in the majors, the best out of any German duo.
So it'd be great to see him represent once again in Düsseldorf. Germany, odds are high,
but the job's not finished. It's also just been a roller coaster of emotions day for Ju and the
deal. They've been outside of that top eight. They've been inside of the top eight. Now they're
looking and just hold on to it. He said job's not finished. Is he in Nassif?
Dealing with the likes of Jason Schozer, given that they already have four
eliminations. They have largely just been playing clean up through 170 points
though. It's another one of those duos that was right there on the threshold
Top 8.
Momzzi Sky Jump.
This is not the team you want to be fighting where if you go down your chances are ruined.
Seventeen Shield to work with up against first and second place at the Global Championship,
Mercedash and Vanya.
They also basically have nothing to lose, Mercedash, Vanya need one of the biggest games
that we're going to see if they want to qualify.
So for Skyjump and Momsie, let's hope that just the tags will be enough.
For Sasha and Vanya, they just don't have much to work with.
And there's still more pressure going in.
Momsie gets exactly what he's after.
He's going to find that first knock.
Vantum or Sasha, it's all down to Vanya to try and keep the tree alive here.
But when he's dealing with the likes of Momsie and Skyjump, it's such a feral position.
They'll have no problem whatsoever shutting things down.
a heartbreaking exit here for Verstash and Vanya as two former top placing contenders from our global
championship are going to miss out on Düsseldorf. New era in EU competitive. We look back over to
Belusi Zangy 198 they're continuing to push themselves up they're gonna be in the low
two hundreds I'd say you're comfortable
oh hey to see you at Halley and Lush had just had to spend this entire game
playing one without the other and all kind of draws back the cod of the
thinking was the call to just take the hot drop off the battle bus as opposed to
Staking things out with riptides. Maybe they felt like that fight just drawing on a little bit too long against the likes
Dynons and Wolves not really worth it, but
Foreign territory
Rally and Lusha they've come so close just need a little bit more
For all their way into that top eight, but
but double reboot performance,
netting you what you need
for the top eight consistency side of things.
That is just,
it is just crazy to think about that,
actually working out in their favor,
but I can't sit and think about the mental battles here.
They just have to keep moving forward.
Yeah.
What does I say though?
of performance in the last three matches. They started off the day in shambles, but then they
get fourth, sixth, sixth, and now in the top six as well. So close to closing it out. So
we've got Chris Bucca. We've got Penguin Walks. There's just so many to those in the
surrounding area. A lot of options to connect some shots. Not only is Penguin Walks already
have two eliminations but it looks like they want to add to the list and it won't take long
for them to get a knock despite all the two o's rotating through they don't even care they said
we will still go for it and i mean it it worked out that was a pretty reckless beeline though
i'm sure you've got the shields cracked but there were just so many other duos in the
surrounding area it's incredible that they didn't lose most of their shield along the way
Sometimes some of the visioning can pay off. They know that they need every single elimination they can have there, but
Make that much commotion cause quite a fuss down to draw a little bit of extra attention with it
Other duo still hunting for points
Now my bias might be coming out here being from Spain myself, but the Spanish do how to go key day
They were in ninth place right now literally one placement off of qualify
they started off the day strong but in the final two matches it has not gone
their way now there were six points away from being in qualifying range getting
cut off by Fiksowski and Saren both players are up now they've got Matt
they've got Hills they're in the zone basically I'm hoping that search doesn't
get the best of them in that six to seven zone they're hoping for an easy
fight but so many other teams are just so desperate in front of you
Gideon, incredibly low, gonna be forced to fall back, but that just might be the green light right now for Wavy.
Haruko, throw some heels towards his duo, Gideon.
So much space flamed. Probably there one net positive here.
Specs and Wavy are not interested in trying to force this engagement, but...
It's only 8 points here, Takata.
Haha, no.
Mathematically.
200 point dream taco deal on her point dream. This is largely a play for
Experience still a lot that can be gathered in these kinds of circumstances
Host reduce a door though. They could play spoiler big time for hard to go
So no girls
162 they're right below how to go get it in 11th
one of the teams
Trying to just reach for that top eight. I
I saw that endgame will be more than enough. It doesn't have to be the best endgame
They've had today either just a decent match
Thing and walks on the other half they need a big game
100 points at least
Checking back in down savage and bellow they were sitting in that third place position after that game five performance
feeling pretty good. New Savage and Velo. You've just got to stay on your markers.
A big jump in the net surge overall too. Savage and Velo. All they're looking to
do is see how many points they can accrue. How high can they climb to the moon
possibly for Velo here? He's looking up, scoping around, sending in, trying to
gather whether or not they've got open grounds for their next move. I love to
see it though. They didn't even make it out of heats. They weren't able to get to finals
but now they're in such a strong position with high hopes of qualifying to Dusseldorf.
So close. It almost paced it on the other end. Howly. This is not the position you want
to be in. Does not even connect. The opening shot. One elam on the board. Only 81 above
in the 1v2 as Howly is the aggressor.
I should think that Kale's reloader did find a target.
It's Brugga and XZ though.
I don't think that they're very happy what Howly just did.
Wants to move in, but it's Brugga and XZ.
They've been an interesting duo because they have so often
just drawn out fights and they're just not an easy duo to get a clean elimination
sequence off of they're able to really force teams to have to drag it out and
just buy so much time away so much time to enough they know how he's a solo you
needed that damage but now they're looking to try and shut him down
entirely and might just do it. Allie actually put them into a pretty awkward position now as they
sit underneath but they will manage to convert Chris Buka in the eliminations. I'm going to
mean that Allie and Lusha are officially out of it. Of course the Net and Giras they're not in yet.
162 points is solid though. The issue is this is the most difficult section of the match in terms
of having a net positive on your surge just 57 above but you can see how quickly it goes below
they've got some initial tags on players rotating in but they're gonna need way more
more importantly still they're trying to make it into the placement points portion
teams still need to go down players still need to drop a force in that and get as are able
to really even start factoring in little by little every placement point every elimination
from this point forward it's going to be what separates them between making it to Düsseldorf
and falling short yet again and obviously they want to make sure that they are on
the more positive side of that but it is not going to be easy here at Takata working against
the surge working against these duos that are starting to trickle in
you also don't want to draw too much attention from the rest of the lobbying
Don't even think they have shields at all.
So they are running out of time, forced to over drive themselves in, but Geroz is going
to get knocked, Serge.
I've actually changed to above, but Sinev now getting cracked, quickly dropping down.
Just 53 builds to work with, four above now, no more heals.
59 HP is where he's gonna be stuck.
That is just so tragic for Sened and Gita's moneymaker in front of him. They were just ready for it.
They looked back, they knew, and now Sened dreams cut short here for yet another duo in this lobby.
All the while, more positive note here for Savage and Velo. They're sitting 300 and 4 above, still at 214 points.
You don't need to do too much though.
You just need to play it smart, play it safe, you and the deal though, they don't mind getting
a little bit flashy if they must, but ideally they want to just look to push team back,
take advantage of any players that might be a little bit more hurt than they are, then
definitely like or refresh them.
Yeah, look and see.
I don't think they can plan this next one out.
The job is not done yet at 194 points.
I still need to get a little bit more to confirm it.
Nello Savage, despite the zone pulling far from the drop spot,
they've still managed to beat 400 above.
They've done it when the zone pulled to them.
They've done it when the zone pulled away.
The consistency today has been incredible,
and I'm hoping to see it end that way as well.
Savage and Nello actually confirmed their spots
with you, so for peer-to-day Takata,
it would be insane to think about the fact that Nello,
he hasn't even played in a grand finals.
for FNCS and yet he might be participating at a LAN, okay?
That is a pretty insane metric to factor in,
but that's a whole different can of worms for Savage
to try and help his duo overcome
when the moment strikes us.
Right now they just gotta lock in,
make sure they can even stay within the top eight
in the first place.
Look at the draw right now for Arca and Kirez
looking a little bit rough here,
trying to break some of these pre-existing builds.
The deal, Jew, mid, player, teams, all around them.
The deal, trying to get through,
getting help of the edits, a little bit of a fumble here.
That might be the difference,
but they still have some points.
Placement is ticking in.
The deal, you've done it once,
you nearly did it twice during Eats.
Now is your moment to really shine through
and represent exactly what kind of history
you are trying to preserve
the qualification spot to do Sadorv.
Oh, it goes well.
The job is not finished.
Issue is only three builds are left off the last many.
Savage fellow in a much healthier position.
It's now the choosing pizza and storm.
They'll be having their pizza party as time goes,
trying to find his way to ride the wave backside of zone.
Going through previous tarves, seeing
if he can find another solo, nothing on his door.
But the issue is from our perspective,
it's all duos around him.
The deal is going to be one of the other solos.
28 builds to work with both players, everything on the line.
I feel also with a couple of squashes,
but he's got a two wall breaking down the wall in front of them.
202 points.
Will it be enough beneath players?
Life got to go to be sent packing,
and sure enough, Spanish flame.
It's been doused out entirely.
Prex and Glub Sheep.
If they can win this lobby out the cutter,
That might just be what it takes to put themselves inside of that top eight.
Savage, Bellows still working their way through secondary height,
spending that time inside of the storm, taking up more placement with the pizza.
It could be the real difference maker here today.
Skaja Momsi, they felt the stress in the last match, but now maybe it's a heavy game.
They're getting closer and closer to solidifying themselves.
They spot a doosled door pop, starting to get excited.
And Savage's been dropped down.
Velo still up as well. They pick up an elimination 240 points. It looks like they might be doing it. This is it
Velo is the most deserving player of qualifying right now
They have it taco
Velo is looking to reestablish his pride more than anything after everything that took place
Well, we're actually
Spoiler on night clubs you can be able to strike back money-maker though still looking to try and hold things strong
Whoever manages to stay on top here as a solo even might be a little bit of a settling
The teams underneath the zone is not pulling back money makers not gonna get the break he was hoping for he's just gonna have to keep
Things moving forward put aside dropping layer by layer
Still sitting in the middle ground
No one trying to intervene just yet savage bellow get another elimination three in total this duo
Dewey has done enough here, Takata, but Homzi and Skyjump, they're still trying to confirm it even further still.
I want to close it out with the Bang, Six-Eleens already, they're on height. Not a single Dewey looking like they want to contest them.
Zangie dropped the three builds, Dewey's still up, but they've got to make sure they hit their shots here.
Savage, he's lost fellow. It's your time to shine, Savage. He goes down as well, but 272 should be more than enough.
Skyjump, Bomsie now, they're dropping down.
Skyjump, Bomsie, they're not looking to miss out, not this time around.
They currently have good control over item Bomsie, just going ballistic in the low ground.
Five eliminations, nine in total already for the French duo.
Skyjump's still trying to claim even more.
Skyjump, dropping yet again, but he does get put down into the dirt still.
Still, Momzie with six, make it seven.
Sato versus Momzie and Nocif.
And even still, Nocif and Sato,
they needed something to come up in their favor,
but Momzie's not gonna be able to stay strong.
Nocif, Sato just gonna bring it out.
It's a one versus one.
This could be the difference
for who actually makes it to land here to Kata.
These players working with a very similar
point contention here,
just need to get the last shot.
Sato can't close it out.
He's been considered a very strong fragger, and sure enough,
Nosif will be able to shut that one down,
but the leaderboard positions,
they've got to be all over the place right now.
I'm thinking the cutoff is going to be higher
than we expected.
11 eliminations from Nosif and Co.
Are you kidding me?
What a way to close out the day.
I am lost for words.
That is it.
Portako and I on the casting move.
We got to head back to the desk.
I want to see what that leaderboard looks like.
Lee too, Tako and Takata.
Thank you so much for your casting tonight.
I have no idea what that top eight is going to look like,
but it has to have no sipping it, is he in it?
Because of Victory Royale coming from 12th place
on the leaderboard, all those eliminations, 11.
It has to be inevitable now.
I like the casters, expecting things
to be all over the place.
And I'm eagerly waiting to see the other leaderboard,
the game. I mean, it's a
game. It's a lot of fun. It's
a lot of fun. So many different
teams and players stepped up in
that final game and no one more
than those guys. I mean, what a
huge bit to write that. That's
what you need. That's what you
need in the final game. You
need to clutch up, especially
when you're outside of that
qualification range. It can be
quite difficult just to make
sure that you get the win. It
can be quite difficult not to
sort of tunnel vision on right.
How many placement points we
need? How much further on into
the game do we need to get
because these guys just
the height. It was absolutely perfect there at the end from them. Oh, actually, the low
ground, I guess you'd say, but really nicely done again from this team who have been sort
of sleeping giants, I guess you could say in this lobby. They've had a couple of decent
placements, not anything too crazy. And what a sign to clutch it up there.
When you've got four points per elimination, it is worth taking the risk that these guys
did. And it didn't just pay off in terms of elimination because of course they
got the victory Royale. So let's take a look now guys at our top eight. Let's see who has
qualified and who will be representing Europe at the major one summit in Dysrador. 29, 30,
31st of May. Here we go guys. And there you have it. The deal and you have made it. Lociento
to Ticata because Yago and Kiri unfortunately narrowly missed the mark there. Is he no
clip as predicted. They have managed to get themselves in contention with that victory
I have to say congratulations to
PoliSight and Seito not just
choice but because they managed
to find this consistency they
needed in the last four games
and I have to say I was so
impressed by how they set things
up.
Yeah, really, really
impressive. I mean, I'm just
sort of looking at the sort of
distribution as well. It's
sort of like the best and the
rest is like 60 point
difference between seventh and
eighth. I mean, the deal
was solo clutching there at
the end. Of course, we saw
Yako and Kerry steam solo
clutching and they didn't
make too much of a
The other team went down so it's a big big difference between some of the best teams in the lobby here and some of the teams that just about missed out but for the likes of Jew and the deal really excited and really happy to see these guys qualify through because of course they're German so all of the German fans have another German legend to watch on that.
Absolutely, man. I mean, the deal, I'm not gonna lie.
I was really rooting for him after what we saw him go through a week ago today
in the last Chance lobby, right, where he just came male-bitingly close
on two occasions to picking up the win to be able to get him into the final
and give him that chance there. So it's great.
And no, you know, even though he's going into the lower bracket,
you can never count the deal.
I mean, he's going to be ready and waiting to shock people into Sobov as well.
It's really exciting to see Skyjump and Monsi as well consistently making those end games,
making those plays for high and pulling off qualification 11.
I mean, for starters, can we just talk about all the French players who have made it in?
We have eight French players who have made it in to the lower bracket through this second
chance lobby. You know, shout to my boy Beno, who obviously just won FNT as an NA.
We infamously talked about how there was no French players at the last land we had in
France and now we get to watch eight of them play in Dusseldorf.
Momsie and Skyjump though are going to be two of the most formidable of that bunch.
These guys have showcased across this season why they are top top team of course one spot
away from qualifying through the major finals and making it into the upper bracket.
Even with them being in the lower bracket you've got to think they should be able
to make it through to that
grand final lobby. Yeah, they've
got all the skill for it. And I
think the big question for me
now, leading into this major one
summit is like, where are they
going to land? How are they
going to manage off spawn?
Because of course today they
were landing over at wonky land.
They found a lot of success
from there, but it's like, are
they going to be able to do
that? Maybe they will do that
in the lower bracket lobby.
Maybe they won't. It kind of
depends on who ends up
qualifying through, but for
them, they've got a little
bit of time now. They have a
target. They have a goal
posted aim for and for them
and find something that works and find some of the sticks for the summer.
I'm really excited to see Mr Savage and Bello have made it.
Now they're going to get lots of practice together, put the work in, as I said earlier today.
I'm just excited to see this new era of controller plays as well
because Bello is the MVP for me of the evening level.
Yeah, I mean, looking first things first, we get to see Mr Savage online, man.
Oh my goodness, you know, I was worried in EU that we were losing recipes and
that, you know, all the old Titans were being phased out.
How we get to hold on to the 200, Mr.
200 IQ, our icon, our EU competitive icon, Mr.
Savage gets to play and Velo, who was put on a show.
Velo, wherever you are right now, take a bow.
You deserve it, man.
Everybody needs to be clapping our w's in the chat for Velo because
he was so, so impressive in so many moments today.
Well we've still got more second chance qualifiers coming up in a bit obviously North American
Central is coming up in a couple of hours but let's take a look at who has qualified so far
for the second chance qualifier.
We're going to be seeing these names play on the second day, the Saturday in Düsseldorf.
They'll be joined by the 25 lowest performing jurors who are playing on Friday and then
will have a top 50 playing an
H final games on the Sunday to
decide our first major one
summit champions many minor.
Yes, it'd be exciting. You know,
looking at the names that we've
got on the screen even over in
Middle East rather Q and the X
and fans and two names that I
was surprised at when I was
looking at those sort of
results. They didn't, of course,
make it through, and I was
really shocked to see that.
So even on some of the other
reasons, we've got some big
names coming through into that
lower bracket as well. And
just to sort of pick up on
the savage conversation. I
remember in 2023, global
see was playing with the deal
and I'm pretty sure they
a game in that low back. They
won the overall day, I should
say in that low bracket. I'm
sure they won a game in there
as well and then end up
qualifying through as well.
They had a really, really good
low bracket day. So to see
both of them back in a lower
bracket format, but on separate
teams, it's going to be really,
really exciting. I can't wait
guys. By the way, if you're
wondering about who's going to
qualify for NA West, I have
a feeling that Mr Jacob PR
might end up doing a watch
party for that one to make
sure you're following him on
streaming. We have got Fortnite Reload Elite Series coming up before we head to Dysaldorf.
That's coming up in a couple of weekends time, so keep your calendars open and available
for that one. But looking ahead now to the major ones of it, now we know who is going
to be playing 11-2K. Are you ready?
Always. Always.
I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready.
Yes.
I am.
And mini-minor, I don't know how to cue the dad jokes. I know we got the cheese Louise
in the last show that we thought would be our last FNCS show before we had to Düsseldorf.
But are you cooking up anything special for Düsseldorf?
you know, we don't want to
overdo it here. You know, we
don't want to get people the
thing. That's all I talk about.
Um, but no, there might, you
know, it's might be some
reduced all I think the game's
quality will take over. I
think the excitement of the
weekend will take over. Um and
now the fact we actually have
three days of competition
rather than two, it's going
to be even more electric,
even more exciting. So yeah,
if you haven't got your
tickets yet, but as a fan,
of course, make sure to
come along. Yeah, we can't
wait to meet you guys in
the sort of keep it locked
in the next couple of
in for the next couple of hours because then you're going to see Zeke and the gang bring you the NA
Central second chance qualifier. Remember there's no third chances. As for us we will see you in
Dissidore, so for now, please. Let's sound that horn.
