[@yr_endid]

I remember seeing at the team on top of the screen during game 12 and thinking "Twisted Minds is a solo, this is over All will take this easy" just to then see that they were respawning 2 players. Nothing we've had so far beats this moment for me, it encapsulates the essence of this tournament.

Anyone I've talked to for more than a minute about EWC has heard me cry about no command center. And specifically cause of game 12 😭😭😭

[@JumbaGW]

not command center poi, the system on Faceit watch to be able to see the pov's of every team is also known as command center, which was not available during EWC.

@@JumbaGWThey just have the biggest fan base. Hal and Gen are some of the most well known apex players so of course a lot of people are going to say they’re the best. Dream teams always look good on paper, but the practicality of it almost never pans out. That goes for video games and sports. Not to mention the added pressure you have when labeled as a suoer team.

[@Funnerailles]

Effect : "Oh my God we are winning this shit baby !" Hakis : "Shut the fuck up and Shoot !" This will be remembered as the few legendary lines of Apex legends History

[@christianinfinity8206]

When was this in the video?

[@NinoBegashvili-w7e]

Seeing this after falcons placed dead last hits different. We need a vid about that. Like how did they place last I'm in shock.

[@averagebeetle]

Most simple answer? Akimbo mozam closes the skill gap as they are broken as can be so they were not able to out frag other teams as they would be in other torunaments (for reference akimbo mozam had around 1100 kills during the lan and the second closest weapon was the Nemesis with less than 400). Also this meta (newcastle, crypto) does not suit them and they didn't adapt in time, this shows why scrims results cannot be taken that seriously

[@neris_fps]

@@averagebeetle Additionally there was horrible zone rng for them the entire finals and the few zones that were good for them they fucked up. Also it was pretty insane how much they got punished for each and every mistake. If you want a more thorough analysis you can watch Priv4cy vod of him analysing it.

[@SightlessRain1]

the answer as to why they did so bad is actually really easy to figure out, but the biggest one is the meta. Having Genburten on Crypto absolutely killed his potential, but its also not like they had much of a choice with new castle being in meta. Falcons is also known to be very bad at anchor like comps, they are much better at brute forcing they're way through lobbies.

[@JumbaGW]

It was wild live. I hope i was able to capture even 10% of it in the video

[@tomhack4318]

The atmosphere unfortunately sucked. Basically 95% were bought falcons fans. When it comes to the games and the style of tournament it was the best ever. So, ALGS atmosphere with EWC rules and games and we have the best of the best.

great vid bro, love the commentary and editing. loved watching it live on Twitch but this was even better imo

[@DatBoiSaint]

I fucking love Competitive Apex Legends. From the X games & Poland to now the ALGS & EWC. Alliance finally wins a LAN for EMEA, Nothing but respect for this Trio. Game 10 of the last chance Qualifier had me dying from the literal Los Angeles heat, TSM not qualifying & a bit of alcohol. The amount of TSM throwing was insane... I hit 158 BPM lol, I didn't even hit that when I saw them play live here in LA. (The production team hiding the scores was fucking amazing!!!!!) They finally used the APAC South white dots for easier team information! I've been complaining about that not being in ALGS Pro League NA or EMEA since they 1st started using it in APAC S. Seeing Pathy being played

[@JumbaGW]

Haha I love the passion. The cool thing is, from my understanding, a lot of those new production ideas were implemented by people who work on ALGS and would've debuted at this LAN if EWC wasn't a thing. So we should be seeing that as a QoL feature for all competitive Apex going forward. And thanks for the super thanks, those are always wildly appreciated and never expected

[@eskilmogstad4009]

Not sure if you read comments this late but my personal favorite of all your videos are "The Car That Lost Apex’s Biggest Tournament". Reason is that it goes so indepth and you explain it from multiple angles for multiple teams, maybe it's harder to find easter eggs as there are no povs or maybe you have just changed the style, I don't mean to sound like a downer but as a person that saw the whole tournament there's no new perspectives or interesting takes from this video I don't know your thought on that but regardless will still support you and your videos of course, thanks for the commitment to apex :) Big fan.

[@averagebeetle]

@@tracergod0756 they absolute play a part for the conversation. Sweet might be one of the best, and in my opinion he is, but he will never be in the conversation for determining the best of them all as titles speak volumes, especially in a game with Apex's format. Just my two cents anyway

[@Liquid_spirits88]

You sound like a virgin 😂😂😂

[@nosferatu7637]

I'm unsure what is better: the emotional highs of an unpredictable final, or the satisfaction of a predictable winner proving that battle royales aren't just about randomness. I think we often don't recognize how much credibility the Apex scene has gained through players like ImperialHal and Zero, who demonstrate that being the best means something, even in a game mode as chaotic and random as a battle royale. That said, I don't think this final was particularly good. Yes, it was entertaining, but if we see too many finals like this, it could seriously harm Apex's credibility as a competitive scene and reduce it to being seen as driven by randomness rather than skill.

[@MultiKezo]

Saying to someone or a team that they are the best and have to win each tournament or expecting that...put a much more pressure to them. It's not a easy task tho. Can't expect a team that get together like a couple of months ago to win at the beginning. Give em some time and we will see yall.
