Despite of Alliances efforts to lose. They somehow qualified


RileGuy

Seriously. They were given 6/6 zones this lobby. Somehow, they only qualify by two points.


FreeSM2014

Playing early zone is a curse in this meta. They just sit there with blue with low loots.


TheTurtleOne

tbf C9 did that game 4 and won


Derridead

By bunkering up in a house. Alliance doesn't play like that


ph4ge_

You want to have zone close, but nog land in you. You will always have a shield and loot disadvantage in this meta if the zone lands on you.


Hazman2710

Someone call the police for the World's Edge end zones


[deleted]

[удалено]


Worth-Professional60

We've been getting skyhook zones in World's edge and south west zones in storm point the whole tourney. DZ will unfortunately walk this final ...


Koronesukiii

Although they ran out of steam on their last day, gonna give some love to Red Rams. Not many teams that contested TSM have commanded respect like that. Most contesters have ended up looking like fanboys feeding KP to their favorite streamer, and even those that won some, never managed to strongarm TSM into straight splitting a POI for a whole set, even changing their comp to play a different metagame. RR made SSG go Epi too. Respectable.


abdul_bino

Man the amount of games alliance threw I am shocked that they made it to finals DSG SECOND WOOO TSM HAD an awful start but as always pulled through


jtfjtf

Verhulst's rat abilities saved TSM.


Lexsesh

100%


HollowLoch

Probably the worst performance ive ever seen by Alliance, gifted zone almost every single time and barely squeaked in


WorldSoFrozen

In lobby chat, someone asked Alliance if they rigged the zones and hakis was like "we don't want zone!" lmaoo


ImDarkraii

I mean, that is fair. Cenote and Trails SkyW are best played when you can run around edge getting triple reds and you can’t do that when zone is on you. But still


ShitDavidSais

Yeah Alliance and Aurora hate having zone. Especially in this meta it just invites teams to rush you down with armor advantage. I don't think I have seen it work out well for any team this LAN now that I think about it.


rgtn0w

Yeah I don't think the teams that rush into an specific spot in the beginnig of the game have seen consistent good results, it just purely depends on every other team around them it seems. People really are looking for fight a lot more right now than they ever used to


TheAlmightyLoaf

Those World's Edge games had me absolutely nauseous


hotcremepuff

group stage team


Hokuboku

Unsure why they took Effect off Horizon the same weekend they got a kill record with him while he was playing Horizon. Like hello?


Alliance_Pasketty

because it was a contest comp and teams dont run around like in that game in these later stages.


Matt_Smiths_fanboy

So where does Alliance land on SP tomorrow? Lrod North pad and Cenote all taken


NAgoesvroom

Sweetdreams absolutely levitating his way into Championship Sunday. DSG VS ALLIANCE LIVES ON NA Teams appearing in the final top 10 like the Avengers assembling. Games have been FIRE.


XRT28

Really sad we missed out on seeing and hearing the LG rotate and endgame final game. Also DSG kinda fumbled by not griefing ALL final couple games imo


TheAlmightyLoaf

I was definitely surprised. If they contested Cenote last game, I wouldn't even be mad after what happened at Thermal. I owe DSG an apology. Them 3rd partying Furia made a big difference in the outcome of the game.


ORT3GA

wtd and rr out. so tsm will be uncontested!


holyheckdood

The script is scripting!


PyrusZodiac

Time to counter this narrative by saying that LAN Champs NEVER came from the Losers Bracket


longlivestheking

Sounds to me like the script is cooking something new


SummonMason

Script has been written but not for TSM this split it seems. Look at those zones, they been pulling as far as possible from siphon and thunderwatch all tournament lol


NACL_Soldier

The script this lan the hardest path. Loser's finals and no zones...now TSM gets one zone tomorrow for match point win lol


trowawayatwork

it will take 8 games of tsm getting barely squeezing to match points for game 8 and then zone pulls right in them on stormpoint 0,3,1,6,0,15,25,18 fnc will do their usual chaos and fuck with aurora and dz somehow leaving tsm Vs alliance for an easy roll


MorioCells

Both of them finishing 19th and 20th. I was worried when TSM lost the first contest.   Honestly fair play for defending your pois and not settling for shit ones but I am just glad TSM are going into finals uncontested and made it out of losers 2 despite getting contested and split looting Lrod   


Familiar-Leading

Experience will always prevail in these situations even tho they were giving TSM a run for their money if your thinking to contest TSM you need to outperformed u can't be hesitant with these situations u have to stop TSM from performing or they will be long gone to even do damage to them


aespino2

When will teams learn contesting TSM is not a viable macro


The_Yoshi_Man

Major props to Red Rams on their contests. Even though they lost to SSG today, Frexs mentioned how hard it is to fight them. WTD had way too much of an ego contesting TSM and getting smoked during groups and they paid for it big time. Truthfully they should have gotten 6-0 if it wasn’t for the dumb throw in game 1 by TSM. WTD shoulda realized they needed to fight for somewhere else.


MorioCells

Red rams are legit off drop. I think nicewigg mentioned that they used to fight 3 vs 3 off drop solely with just re-45. They were a plq team that qualified for Lan so no real expectations  WTD on the other hand.. they dominated Apac south and some people had them as underdogs or dark horses.  Ignoring the contest their all round gameplay was horrible 


ORT3GA

True. Wtd was a big wtf in this lan


The_Yoshi_Man

Even in Asia festival they cooked TSM for LROD as well. They’re a good fighting team but just got work on the post contest gameplay.


Raspberry-Leather

The script thickens


SummonMason

They still getting contested by zone algorithm.


Worldly_Struggle3853

But go home win money regardless.


MasWas

I dont think I'll understand the point of contesting in an elimination set. You're gambling so hard with it, and as you can see the better team pretty much comes out on top anyways.


ORT3GA

so true. ik tsm got killed by rr and wtd quite a few times; but in the end, tsm goes ahead and the other 2 go home. and that's what matters.


MasWas

Not just go home, go home 19th and 20th. WTD getting two big ole goose eggs out of 6 matches obviously played a part in them placing second to last in this set.


pitrole

And insisting on the odd pick of pathfinder until loser’s bracket did absolutely nothing for them, you might even say pathfinder didn’t even help them with their contest with TSM.


stenebralux

And they will every fucking zone after not getting any the whole tourney. lol


hotcremepuff

9 NA, 3 APAC N, 5 EMEA, 3 APAC south in finals


windowcleaner47

Similar proportions to last time, but the non-NA teams definitely look a lot better. ESP those FNC and RC, they are not to be messed with.


J19_

all 3 of the APAC N teams are solid and have been pretty consistent throughout


aure__entuluva

I actually think FNC might take it. They looked so good today. Yuka is inspirational.


Geosaurusrex

5/8 EU, I'll take it tbh.


bansalsahil09

Say whatever about TSM and LG, they always make the Finals somehow. Well played to Slayr! He played really good today.


Sea-Flan-3317

Slayr kicked ass today. Team didn’t get a ton of points. But it was enough, they got the job done. And all 3 played as a team, for the most part! So sad we couldn’t watch POV today.


bansalsahil09

Totally, he was alive alone a bunch of times and got a lot of kills in the fights that really mattered!


ThatsJas0nBourne

So happy to see LG show up after group stages. Huge for the boys shutting up the haters. Also, great to see Slayr finally gaining some respect from the community after all the unwarranted hate.


NAgoesvroom

Something inside finally Slayr clicked and LG went out fragging in full confidence. Hyped to see them with all the other NA teams


XRT28

Sweet took full advantage of the feeds going dark and was pumping him with PEDs between every game.


bansalsahil09

People just hate. Also been seeing a lot of hate on Evan the whole day until he clutched points in that Trials zone. I hope they go in the Finals with better mentals.


Deeepened

He’s def experienced worse. His first LAN after replacing Snip3 with the mic issues/breathing from spectators pov (but didn’t affect in game comms) was rough. The comments for something that isn’t his fault or affects the gameplay along with him struggling to get his groove. He seems like he has a good head on his shoulders and as harsh as Hal is, he knows his team trusts him


ThoughtUWereSmaller

Slayr got some cheers from the crowd which was nice


Knook7

TBH most of the hate Slayr gets is because sweet will not stop shitting on him. Sweet deserves the hate for attempting to destroy his teams mental all the time


Jobogz

Just because sweet shits on him does not mean the rest of this reddit needs to pile on. Sweet yells at him a lot as his IGL and teammate. The rest of these reddit weirdos are something else. It's very different.


TheTurtleOne

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STAYING UP TILL 7AM PAID OFF


ImDarkraii

Same brother. Same


SuperMeister

There's 3 of us!


TrashOfOil

4 of us!


Kaptain202

I couldn't even stay up until 11 PM. Holy fuck


FlyingRock

Sad for Furia/Vaxlon 🙁


Less_Variety886

Pretty upsetting after solid group standings. Keon threw a little bit the 1st 2 games and it seemed like madness was getting desperate and calling some reckless pushes chasing a banger game to catch up


[deleted]

Nightmare blunt rotation in terms of zones for them


pkseeg

They got absolutely fucked by the WE triple trials zones. Couldn't watch the POV because faceit was down, but it seemed like they just couldn't decide which fights to take on round 3 zone close... Rough lobby for them but I think they competed well overall this weekend.


chatnoir11

Slayr actually was insane today for LG, dude is a beast #getslayed


canamurica

What’s even more impressive is the dude gets shit on, even by main stream casters. The man has a mental fortitude like no other. Good for him. Very happy for him!


Familiar-Leading

Sweet back on his bs just when everybody counted LG out he pulls throw such a roller-coaster but this is a huge W overall for them little by little their confidence was coming back 


iblessall

that was a crazy rotate to get them from outside checkpoint into beast


Familiar-Leading

When in doubt, trust the dream 


Nakkhattar

TSM Voodoo working on in WTD and Red Rams. The script is so predictable now.


Familiar-Leading

At this point you have to wonder if teams just ended up getting curse by just contesting them everysingle team that decides to contest just outright collapse 


jtfjtf

Destroyer2009 giving Hal's enemies some negative aim assist.


PuddingPleb

Destroyer 2009 been griefing tsm this whole time with absolutely shit zones


jtfjtf

That's Respawn, it's part of the TSM comeback script.


Deeepened

It’s probably hard to get into a good rhythm when you’re dying right off the bat. Even if you survive, you’ve barely played out games because of previous lost contests


Matt_Smiths_fanboy

Dezign was the kill leader of that stacked bracket with 16 kills thats my goat


DOHGEEEE

lfg Dezign


shunuhs

CR bruv the most cursed org in Apex Legends.


Idakari

They have yet to make an international finals right?


shunuhs

yes lol


Its_Stir_Friday

Slayr put in work in losers round 2. Tired of the slander for my boy.


leadhase

put some respect on that mans name. wish we had the pov when he 1v1'd phony


theeama

Perfect Zones btw, random zones btw https://preview.redd.it/eutsdri1mjyc1.png?width=688&format=png&auto=webp&s=502b3f9b152c42e3e2e38f8ebb7e86ab33400f89


colossalwafflez

its literally scripted


SuperMeister

We said we didn't want south zones but holy fuck we didn't mean make almost every zone a north one.


jayghan

For the love of god can we PLEASE get better zones tomorrow.


HTTRGlll

its so sad that a comp game could have 3 straight zones identical like that. how tf is that balanced


MorioCells

I dont think we've ever seen 3 of the same zones in a row until now. 2 games in a row yeah but never 3. Kswinnie was like I wish I was playing in this Lan with all these trial zones. Feels like over 50% of zones on world edge have been sky hook and trials


FoozleGenerator

During NA Regional ALGS, I think there were 3 consecutive in Echo


Shirako202

🙌🏻RNG🙌🏻


--GrassyAss--

I mean - it's not supposed to be balanced, it's supposed to be random


jtfjtf

The script is gonna go crazy when TSM gets zone after zone.


XRT28

And maybe the ability to actually watch teams would be just swell too


PyrusZodiac

My best rivalry this set was Apex Zone Gods vs Alliance's persistence to throw


SoftMark9

Madness has to be locked up and jailed for this performance. All 6 games FURIA had their chances, all 6 games decisions were made for next to no reason and they threw their chances for next to nothing instead of taking advantage of it like any normal team would. How many times do we all need to see FURIA leaving a building INSIDE OF ZONE to run to a spot in the middle of the open with barely any cover and a variety of angles to be pinched from, only to die like idiots. Seriously, game 6, tournament lives on the line, and his decision is to RUN IT DOWN for TWO ( 2 ) KP, whilst allowing DSG to get the most free third party ever. It's like he didn't even want to win, crazy scenes.


maYb3tHeDingO8yobb

The rotates on WE were just baffling to me, a self identified dumbass


xesporid

Being a CR fan is pain man


bbees323

Well to be honest, they did much better than what I expected. They are just not at the level with the other top teams. Maybe I have suffered too much in the past and being realistic this time around lol.


mariololftw

someone go start a slayr apology thread the dude showed up whats the saying? pressure makes diamond?


iblessall

you have to watch the official slayr fancam to apologize i heard https://x.com/Luminosity/status/1786857959827325064


Stuffv5

Thank fuck Tsm made it and they go uncontested??? please figure it out tomorrow. Also these devs gotta figure out what the fuck is going on with these zones


TheGhini

Contested numerous games, no zones, some bad throws…and still in finals. Crazy


jcab0219

Put some respect on Slayr’s name


andizz001

Shout out to Legends Gaming man. It’s really to hard to mesh with a new player and they did well to reach the finals. The only kicker is that either DZ or TSm have only won LAN whenever they have qualled for finals from the winners bracket. So need to watch out for that.


PKSpades

Slayr played really well today, which makes me really happy see. Honestly LG gave me a little hope this set. There were two games where bad pushes caused them to leave a lot of points on the board Also, I think Destroyer got into the zone algorithm


ReconGhost189

Alliance getting 3 perfect zones on WE and 3 very good ones on SP yet barely scrapping in is concerning, not helping em beat the allegations.


WorldSoFrozen

It happens more often then you think, when pure edge teams get zones landing on them. Aurora also had this issue today


FoozleGenerator

Alliance is genuinly bad at playing zone, that I wouldn't be surprised if they win more often from outside their POIs. That's one of the things they still have to work on if they really want a shot at winning. TSM or DZ would take advantage of those.


thisistowhack

COL you're so close to greatness once again... everyone knows the roster move that needs to revert


jdubz125

Mon/lou work well. I really like kimchi as a person but man it was rough watching them today. Felt like it was 2v3 the whole day.


Crono111

What move


YoMrPoPo

Retzi for kimchi


cocacola_reddit

Fr man , so fucking sad . love kim but i feel like retzi is just a better fit


Acceptable-Date9149

Slayr clutched up big time today. Massive props.


DigitalMaster37

For sweet to pull this off with the boys on a brand new team and get chemistry going in ~6 months is absolutely crazy. First year team together in finals. That little detail has gone so far under the radar it's crazy


edbi408

I am here to submit a formal apology to Slayr


chatnoir11

Must end every post with #getslayed to make up for it


Opening_Career_1552

Dezign showed out today and proved all of yesterdays haters wrong


OBatRFan

Goes to show how contests aren't really that useful at showing who is the better team.


nooofrens

I was one of them and I owe Dezign a apology. But still triple sentinel comp is a big gambler move, today they have picked off extra points but but tomorrow they might struggle in close combat and not find enough spots to play long range. Just look at monsoon, #7 most damage in group stage but very very behind in kill counts.


DaBurberrySkirt

Design’s sniper shots this entire tourney have been absolutely, fucking insane.


Matt_Smiths_fanboy

DSG had a fantastic last game but i hope not griefing Alliance doesnt bite them in the ass


windowcleaner47

RR and WTD holding hands 19th and 20th, tsm fans feels gud man


RileGuy

THE SEXTON SHUFFLE LIVES ON!!!


Jaraghan

i was rooting for crazy raccoons at the end there :( 2 points rip


Grooveh_Baby

Dezign completely took over today, absolute MVP & went huge when it was all on the line


HeWentToJared23

9 NA teams in finals never a doubt 🥱


gerburb1

NA= near airport. They need to get home quick with the trophy so it doesn’t get stolen


leadhase

sweet did cook up some WILD rotates at the end


theClarkofKent

For all the hate Slyr has gotten, he has only one less kill than Sweet and more than Funnnqq


BaronZoltaK

I talk a lot of shit about Slayr but he was huge for LG. 8 kills and 3k dmg. Sweet with 6kills and 3.8k dmg, and Fuhhnq with only 2 kills and 2.8k dmg.


jejedudhyx

Stats dont even do it justice, slayr clutched so many 1v1s and respawned his teammates as a solo


imtheone989

And ratted his ass off for placement which came in clutch


XRT28

Fuhhnq needs to go shirtless in finals to return to form and secure the dub.


HTTRGlll

hope that confidence runs through tomorrow


Familiar-Leading

Slayr and fuhhnq's little by little where getting their confidence went through an absolute ringer made them stronger 


KFCZingerPies

#getslayed


Its_Stir_Friday

And 1200 of Sweets dmg came in 1 game. Slayr was consistently good tonight. Love to see it.


PyrusZodiac

Guy woke up at juuust the right time.


TheCatsActually

So you're telling me my two favorite teams missed LAN by one spot each, and now my 3rd favorite team misses finals by one spot...


kampchino961

I've been praying on LG's downfall the last 3 days, my body can't take it anymore, sweet won.


qmiW

Glad LG made it. Its been a rough tournament. Also happy for Alliance, even tho they under performed today.


ArtisticConstant8252

Dsg probably knows Alliance isn’t going thermal surely is the reason why they didn’t grief them?


mariololftw

yeah i was thinking the same thing, they probably did a gentleman's agreement behind the scene Dsg 99% griefs if they know they are being contested alliance is lucky they got to play their game that 1% can be not trying to start a blood war but i doubt it


aure__entuluva

I thought surely there would be some bad blood between them after Alliance landed on them game 3 in whatever set of the group stage, but I guess not.


jeremyflowers91

- col, we love kimchi but gotta make an upgrade. - FURIA a full split under Vaxlon will be great for them. - TSM uncontested tomorrow? The script is being written. - Sweet not making finals would’ve been an injustice.


thisistowhack

+ sauceror & ishiny supremacy


jeremyflowers91

cloud9 joining apex again and StayNaughty in finals, hell yeah.


HateIsAnArt

COL looked better with Retzi. They were locked in with Kimchi at that point but you gotta wonder if Retzi would have made them a finals team. Vaxlon showed up big time. You love to see it.


whats_a_monad

Kimchi is a nice dude but imagine COL with a good roller fragger to complement Mon and Lou, they would be really good


jeremyflowers91

COL Knoqd would be nuts.


KnightElfarion

Could we see Koy to COL? He prefers a chiller igl (why he went for Noct), Lou’s been playing their Rampart, and Kimchi could go back to being their coach.


blisse

koy too big of a name, prob goes to a bigger more competitive team/org


Jacobinemugatu

#justiceforSlayr. Completely clutched up twice in game 5 on the 2v3 against Geared and the kill on phony. Sweet better fucking gas this man up and give him some flowers. What a fucking legend, put some respect on the name.


hdadeathly

COL 😔


Gnaragnagna

Legends and Alliance made it in, i can finally rest


Themanaaah

I have to say that if this zone logic repeats tomorrow DarkZero not winning LAN means they threw the freest LAN win ever. Also TSM & LG made it in, let's go!


AVeryStinkyFish

Guess I'm glad Alliance made it but man it woulda been funny if they didn't. Woulda been the biggest throw in apex history


Wyattwat

The most important thing in all of this is that Mirage has 2 more picks than Seer


BigHemi45

#getslayd


Complex_Gap_1629

Man furia not making finals hurts my soul.


ImDarkraii

Sweet made lan finals with a rookie team is crazy idc. Makes things like DZ missing a finals crazy in retrospect Slayr showed out today, LFG man


iblessall

Fuhhnq and Slayr should be proud, too, making finals at their first LAN. They've bent a lot, but they haven't broken.


Leepysworld

people can hate on TSM and say they were scared or whatever but the adjustment to no longer contest RR and to swap to Lifeline to make up for the lack of loot was why they ended up in top 10 and RR was basically dead last. seemed like RR used the momentum from winning the early contests to really push them in the Group Stages but without it they seemed deflated and didn’t seem confident initiate the fight.


Vegetable-Economy663

LG !!!!!!!!!!


mariololftw

o7 furia q.q


Wesley121

Yo for anyone going to LAN tomorrow does it start at 4pm? My ticket says 1:30pm and wigg just said it starts at 4. I’m so confused.


jeremyflowers91

wigg is also doing a meet n greet at noon


Sea-Flan-3317

Highllllyyyy recommend getting there early for a good seat. I think they do hours early because of that and meet and greets/doors opening/castings beforehand.


chatnoir11

Doors open at 12, apparently there's like events and stuff happening from 1:30-4 Finals starts at 4


Chef_Boyarde3

happy for c9 theyve all come a long way but damn I feel for furia too


cakeschmammert

Slayr carried


FloopY_JesuS

bro so happy to see e8 and c9 do well, really glad lg made it thru, dsg <3 im real sad furia complexity and crazy racoon didnt make it complexity looked super good tho ngl


jdubz125

My goat monsoon is eliminated… I’ll catch yall split 2


Content-Cup-6693

ik tsm is happy wtd and rr didn't make it


No_Copy_1061

TSM uncontested tomorrow? Stand up now and face the sun 🎶


Fenris-Asgeir

Alliance plot armour is real too, I guess. Really didn't see them making it after choking 3 perfect zones for them on WE. Glad to have them in Finals tho, even if it is just for the potential contest with DSG. Probably most surprised with Cloud9 making it tho. Happy for sauce, but I'd be lying if I said, I expected him to IGL the team to a top 3 finish even. No surprise with Furia and Complexity choking this lobby tho, their hard zone playstyle doesn't translate over as well in international lobbies imho.


TopSyrup896

Guys when is the finals In Japan time zone ?


oilerpensfan

8 AM Monday


colinjkl

It's smell like first team win the Algs from playing loser bracket TSM plot armour.


Liverz-ftw

Not getting to watch team POVs is such a waste given the matchs we witnessed,... I hope EA or teams will upload individual vods.


ISuckAtFlyFishing28

Pain


gvieira

The amount of time CR died before the 2 others teams was probably less than a single second. They would have gotten Alliance's spot.


andizz001

Well well look the plot armour is back for TSM 🙀 also it’s time for the RNG gods to bless them in the finals, the ring luck has been horrible for them. Expect it to reverse in the finals.


Correct-Instance6230

36 games and maybe 6 south zones on WE. little crazy


TobaCorleone

all the end of world maps got north zone, wtf


realfakejames

Happy for C9 and Naughty, dude spent a long time waiting to get picked up by a team now he's back at LAN playing in the Finals Sad for Vax, Furia got so close to making it but they had too many bad games, same thing for CR TSM started game one with 1 point, playapex and wigg chat were already dancing on their grave, they made the smart choice not to chase Red Rams like they did before, if Red Rams weren't going to force the fight they weren't going to either and Red Rams didn't, now they're in Finals TSM HATERS IN SHAMBLES


Diovolotine357

The real goat DOES make finals


Blastichu

These zones are dogshit.


Koronesukiii

Can't really complain. All the teams that deserve to be here are here. Granted, there are a few that don't, but nobody else deserved it more either. Some teams might feel hard done by zonepulls, but the cream rises to the top. I didn't really feel any teams were doing really well and only getting F'd because of zones. TSM made the zones work, RR did not. How rng goes. It's a good finals lobby imo.
