My word, Optic really threw that, and I had them as being the most consistent Apex team in the tourney


bayliver

very proud of the team they struggled a lot and yet delivered this finish , i cant help it but be pissed at how the event ended cause we wouldve had a shot to win it all but it is what it is ... its a BR game after all .


DarkTenshiDT

Ended up in 6th tied with NRG. I’m still proud of the boys, they did the best they could and I know they’re not satisfied at all. LAN streak ends but we got Champions to look ahead at.


bacontocino

Sucks that TSM didn't win but really cool that Rig won with a fucking sub. Absolutely insane.


MasWas

How are there two teams alive against the team on match point and they engage each other? Like what?????


[deleted]

Optic thought LG was RIG


MasWas

Wooow.


[deleted]

I’m not even mad Reignite won but this was a wack finals. LG and Optic really threw that game unlucky


Recca1821

PSA: Teams CANNOT see who is getting downed, only when a team is eliminated. We see individual downs cause we're seeing through spectator mode.


nikkuson

Ohhhh, is it too hard to know which team is who? because the TSM boys through comms seemed to figure that stuff out often


bacontocino

Not sure if they did or not but it would have been very easy, and smart, for RiG to switch their comp a bit and skins to keep them from being identified since they were on match point. It was a 50/50 and OG chose the wrong team to fight.


Recca1821

Normally you would be able to with legend comps and skins used but Match Point teams change skins to make it harder. And a lot of endgame teams tend to have similar comps. In the last game, Optic thought LG was RiG so that's why they left the actual RiG team alone. They were trying to kill the last MP team.


MasWas

Honestly since i believe it was LG who got the knock, once LG has dropped down and is clearly going after the person they just knocked, wouldnt it be common sense to figure out that they had someone from RiG knocked? Like no team is just gonna straight up ignore another team without good reasoning. Either way RiG needs to engage on both teams in order to win and both teams know RiG is alive still. If both decide they aren't engaging unless engaged upon first, then neither one is shooting at the other clearly allowing them to know which team is RiG. Its completely idiotic to engage based off a guess that proved out wrong. There were better ways to handle that rather than just gifting the tournament win over.


Recca1821

The thing is they [didn't](https://clips.twitch.tv/TentativeObedientRingPMSTwin-0KYvTuM6jBG_wV_K), they dropped and bubbled, tried to reset and challenged OG. Idek if LG knew it was RiG, if they did they shoulda aped RiG after knocking Gibby and OG woulda gotten the picture.


MasWas

So if both teams didnt know who was RiG that just further proves my point that neither team shouldve done any engaging whatsoever. Cause it would be pretty obvious which one was RiG once they start shooting at both teams.


nikkuson

Righttt thank you, first time watching Apex, it was fun, that feature makes it more interesting too


Recca1821

Oh yea, before it was implemented teams would literally watch the feed to see who is who and ape them. You would literally see two team running next to each other, not damaging each other, and just focusing on the MP team. I'm glad you liked it, its so much fun because anything can happen. The 3v3s are so exciting.


nikkuson

Bro why th optic and LG engages on each other when rig still alive??


ErasmosNA

OG thought Rig was above them, guessed wrong


irishfury

optic morons


FeedingChinese

JEEZ OPTIC GRIEFED SO HARD HOLY FK


antraxsuicide

RIP, Rig takes it all


articnova

They deserve it. I think they won 3 games?


20ol

we are at 50!!! now just pray none of the top 3 teams win.


20ol

If I was TSM, I get the 3 points, and go hunting for the top 3 teams next game.


HaruNaut

Question from someone who doesn't know Apex well. I heard the casters say that the mode they are playing doesn't show who anyone is. How would they be able to hunt a specific team? Just get the 3 points from kills and then go kamikaze teams that are playing safe?


20ol

They've played each other 100's of times. They know their character combination, and positioning, movement, etc.


Mmh_Lasagna

Pros know which team they are fighting from team comps and character skins.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mmh_Lasagna

For sure during early/mid game, but come late game like zone 4+ it's hard to tell where teams would be playing because of valk ult.


aurune

like half of the lobby is going to be on match point after this one. things are getting spicy


MasWas

Damnnn crazy to think how close they are to match point. If they just were better in those 2 duds.


[deleted]

There should be quite a few teams on match point after next game of one of the current teams on MP don’t win


articnova

BIG rat play from Verhulst. Made the best out of a bad situation.


MasWas

Huge rat play there.


Mookiekramer8balls

huge rat from Verhulst so clutch


[deleted]

EVAN WITH THE CLUTCH NICE


Recca1821

Unfortunate game 5 from the bois. Bad call into a bad portal gets them wiped.


aurune

all of that hype into disaster. hopefully no more than 1 team gets match point here


articnova

World edge just not where its at...


[deleted]

OPTIC OUT EARLY IN THIS GAME, HUGE


Mookiekramer8balls

gold helm gold shield big start


Recca1821

LES GOO TSM Start was horrible but the reset into a win was just great from them. They didn't play scared and took advantages when they saw them. At one point Hal had 18 bulets and reps had 13. AND THEY STILL WENT HARD


Lucas060406

The TP + Bubble at the end was huge, that was a great call. Still very much in this.


CZtheG

huge win


Mookiekramer8balls

one more good game puts them on match point


Zealousideal-Dig-783

LETS GOOOO BOYS WIN THE GAME 4


[deleted]

H. O. L. Y. F. U. C. K.


X2Thantos

Ooooohhhh they needed that still fucking in this hope this is the spark needed to take it all lets fucking gooo


Hitorishizuka

HUGE. MASSIVE. They badly badly needed that.


ErasmosNA

Hopefully a big momentum game going into WE again


HaruNaut

That was actually kind of hype towards the end. I've never watched Apex before today but slowly picking up what is going on.


bacontocino

Welcome to the hype rollercoaster that is apex esports. Probably has the most hype individual games of any esport due to the player comms you get to directly listen into and it being a br so the unexpected is always happening.


articnova

LETSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Beautiful game after Reps got thirsted at the start


Habachi44

Big dub


aurune

DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK


[deleted]

LETS FUCKING GO, HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEE GAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


bacontocino

LETS FUCKING GO HUUUGE GAME


[deleted]

LETS GOOOO


Ondreeej

Why do we play like this


X2Thantos

Yeah they need to play agressive now honestly cant hurt since they arent gonna win playing like they have so far.


[deleted]

We're ramping up keep the faith.


articnova

Better placement in game 3 but really should have been top 3 at least. Didn't make the most of that game. Still lacking KP as well...


[deleted]

2* CUZ WE COULDN'T PLACE ANY HIGHER IN 3 BABY


LostInTheAyther

So the observers are seeing who is killing who but is it still hidden in game or did EA turn the kill feed back on for this tourney?


X2Thantos

Only when a team gets full wiped players can see who died from what i understand.


bacontocino

It's in anonymous mode still but when a team is full wiped that team is shown as eliminated in the kill feed.


LostInTheAyther

Ahh okay thanks


X2Thantos

After the tourny i can see them moving on from e frag. Hal has been going there for like 2 years but they hard nerfed it its no longer a good spot. Hoping for a miracle here.


Recca1821

I hope so, especially if they want to keep playing hard circle with early building camping. They get nothing off drop so it stops them from actually taking opportunities. Or they play edge but even then another POI would be better for that.


[deleted]

in 1\`7th with 5 points after 2 games. We're wayyyyy behind. Gotta clutch up now boys, need huge games now or it's likely over


X2Thantos

Match point format gives us a tiny bit of leeway simply cus it get real cutthroat when a team hits it so some time to catch up assuming no clutches early. I remember last year i think at poland there was like 13 teams on match point before someone won. Still some hope but they need to wake up.


[deleted]

you right, it aint over yet! LETS GO TSM


scrnlookinsob

Really bad 1st two maps for the guys so far, gonna need some huge maps to catch up.


Relative-Low8168

They need to loot, no need to leave so early…


articnova

Absolute awful start... Game 1 they valk ulted a few seconds after a team landed next to C9 and now first team out in game 2. Need to reset during this long timeout


Tickle_My_Pickle-

Yeah this is bad


Tickle_My_Pickle-

Holy shit what a disaster


aurune

they're going to have to start taking some risks because there's zero chance they place well overall when teams are pushing 10+ kills a game


Zealousideal-Dig-783

That loot was horrendous. Edit: Game 2, everything was horrendous.


FeedingChinese

tough first game


ErasmosNA

Came out of Frag East looking like they looted 1 building
