THE FINALS Strategies that made TOP player think I was stream sniping (REAL MACRO STRATEGIES PART 3)

[@DaVizzle_Bro]

Unfortunately I feel like most players just don't use their brain for this game. Critical thinking is exactly what you need for it

[@JakoMacro]

While true, you just need a team that listens to an IGL. Not every player on a football field studies the game and reviews footage, usually just the coach.

[@jrman09]

Some things aren’t critical thinking. Like when your teammate forces overtime and throws the game when you were winning

[@jethro1044]

For the first time after weeks of playing I witnessed another team using their brain. Went to steal the Vault and was on the last 10 seconds before cash out, if we didn’t steal the game would’ve been over. Other team though rolled up and just watched us steal it to keep the game going. Pretty cool fr

[@WhiteVipor]

Or at the beginning of a match, when your teammate hides instead of fighting or going for the res, causing you to use respawn tokens or wait 5 minutes

[@rodrigos7070]

Sorry, but thats all games online. Get a trio and youll be fine

[@ItzFrxzy]

thank you Ekazo, I will try edging

[@EkaZoko]

LOL

[@orteus]

thanks bro this video has inspired me to start edging. i edge in every game now and it works so well!

[@EkaZoko]

no problem!

[@imoteq]

Thanks for the big brain content that I need and will most likely not be able to incorporate into my smooth brained gameplay. Cheers!

[@Darian236]

Thanks for this dude, really. I started back up on this game again and I'm loving it, but never really understood what cashout locations to prioritize on different maps. Helped a ton

[@NthraX]

I’m proud to say it was me saying « Ekazo way better sheeesh » in this guy’s stream, I was a 1st time viewer, I just saw he was top10 or whatever but I was watching ekazo way before, so I was happy seeing you beat them. Later I spoke more with Kjewls and he believed me. So in the end I don’t think they thaught u were stream sniping, their ego’s were just a bit shattered cuz they claim top10 haha

[@NthraX]

Also I’d like to point out that it was really bad of them to fight there, as 1st, with 1min left, just RUN and HIDE, no matter how good you are, it’s just logical

[@rDenyaNA]

REAL macro strategies

[@Archelon8300]

Edging is my favorite strat frfr. Goated take

[@kuzidas4213]

Somehow that drawing of skyway stadium made complete sense to me I could tell what you meant-with the construction site on the right side of the drawing, and the grassy area with the mansion on the left. Dude is the Picasso of the Finals

[@EkaZoko]

lol, even while I was making that drawing i was laughing to myself at how bad it was, but im glad people could still understand it

[@pe6rl]

You’re the only person I trust with learning strategies in the finals

[@CoBrosAnimations01]

i love when EK fills me to the brim with his knowledgeable strategies

[@beepsaber3686]

Yes I will definitely try "edging"

[@lilchrisss.]

that 2,000 cash box tip is a great tip great vid bro keep the vids comin 🔥

[@willutheGreat]

im edging to this information rn

[@JaylinYT]

last clip was funny as hell LMAO

[@char3545]

i love your videos so much theyre rlly helpful! do you have any suggestions about macro i could use, while not switching from dagger? i dont care much for high placement i just enjoy being sweaty and would like to hit platinum or diamond!

[@char3545]

(or any tips at all, im just good at fighting micro)

[@EkaZoko]

@@char3545 As light, you'll probably want to be the one that starts bringing the vault while your teammates are heading towards the cashout site. This allows the slower players on your team to setup defensively and allow them to move earlier. If you get ambushed while taking a vault, you can just escape, assuming as light, its easier to hide. Depending on how you play dagger, you might also want to prioritize cashouts within buildings etc.

[@kawa0948]

Edging? Nah i busted all over

[@boetiess]

What do you think is the best class to solo queue with? Or if you play with friends that arent too good, which class is best to use if you are trying to carry? Thanks 🙏

[@TurtleGamerDish]

Medium hands down or heavy if youre really good

[@syad911]

medium, AKM + guardian turret + APS + jump pad + defib

[@EkaZoko]

Personally, I think Heavy is probably the easiest class to carry with. Mainly because of your damage, control over cashouts, and defensive utility. A lot of randoms also run healing medium so you will likely be pocketed too.

[@Mr.K.dilkington1965]

@@syad911no… that turret sucks. Solo queuing is best in my opinion with medium and then recon senses but in the end it’s what you like playing with.

[@syad911]

@@Mr.K.dilkington1965 try placing the turret on position you're holding and place APS beside it for anti nukes, and hide behind your turret, easiest 1 knock down u can do in the game currently, i don't solo queuing much but i wiped more teams on my own with that strat than i pursuing people with recon. guardian turret + APS is clutch AF.

[@typothetical]

Wait so putting the vault in the cashout belonging to someone else gives you $2000? Thats cool

[@Sigmachode905]

I couldnt even goo! I just cashed out immediately!

[@anthonypham106]

Whats ur general strategy for defending moving platform cashouts that shit feels so unintuitive for me

[@EkaZoko]

Personally, I goo it off the platform most times and if that's not possible I make goo strands from the back train towards the middle train so that it moves around, possibly knocking cashout off periodically and preventing steals. If you aren't playing heavy there are some moving platforms where you can move ahead of the train without having to commit to being on the train. Otherwise, you'll need barricades etc. to be able to defend the train while on it.

[@qStasis]

Youre fucking hilarious and so smart. Finally. A very happy sub from me

[@Mr.K.dilkington1965]

Question: why the Akm and not the Fcar?

[@EkaZoko]

i actually was testing this earlier today, but for me, at least I found that the AKM is more consistent and I find myself reloading less. I did more damage in bank it with the FCAR but when I tried it in ranked, I played worse than with AKM. could be because of various factors but in a more competitive setting i assume the AKM is better

[@Mr.K.dilkington1965]

@@EkaZoko wonderful! I first got the akm to level 6 and then the scar to level 6. Now I’m seeing if the akm is worth it again, I’m feeling it. Thanks for answering :)

[@qStasis]

@@EkaZoko very interesting take.

Do you know how long the vault keeps being visible once picked up?

It becomes visible and not visible for like ~5 seconds I want to say, but its a short time

[@leftieluci2292]

could you do a video on how your team deals with double/triple recon enemy teams

[@EkaZoko]

its super annoying for sure, but the main weakness of a lot of recon is that they won't have much heal and no heavies, so switching to something like barricade instead of dome can make it easier to take damage while doing damage. As with all triple Medium setups, camping bodies is usually the move.

[@leftieluci2292]

@@EkaZoko that's all good advice, i guess my main gripe is trying to push a cash out that's being defended by a recon team

[@EkaZoko]

@@leftieluci2292 If the cashout is in a building, trying to get under it and dropping the cashout a floor can force the recon team to play close range where it might be easier to deal with. Doing anything where they can see you through walls but not know what you're doing is good.

[@sganicocchi5337]

map edging lmfao the internet has ruined that word

[@ammi5311]

Have a general vibe you have excluded light from meta . As lacking in flexible flank or out speed strats ... As it stands now they nerf grapple form some reason , top horizontal mobility has to be sword dash light . They can travel incredible distance to either tap vault un challenges or pass ball across the map to cash out alone or even intersect other teams box in attempt .

[@EkaZoko]

I wasnt really talking about meta in this video, just macro strategies. Light is cool, got nothing against light but just didn't feel like I needed to talk about Light in a video about macro strategies.

[@romanenricomiranda8505]

One thing about those players who put ttv on their names. They don't like getting stream sniped but they're the ones who's also giving it away by putting that shit on their name. Then cry or accuse of stream sniping when they lost. Lol. Gitgud! Or maybe put some delay on their stream. What a wuss. 🤣 Hope to see you insight regarding the 1.5 patch notes. Keep it up ekazo!

[@EkaZoko]

i feel like other youtubers already cover the patch notes, but i could definitely give my take on them for sure.

[@romanenricomiranda8505]

@@EkaZoko a lot of them are MEDIUM crybaby mains. And their opinion is based only for how strong other classes other than MEDIUMS. I want to know what's your insight as a HEAVY main. Regarding the changes.
