| Day five of the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) North American Pro League was a wild one, with the region’s heavyweight teams fully asserting themselves on the lobby. The path to victory was anything but straightforward, however. An early NRG lead slowly melted away, leading to a climactic final game of the day. Game one demonstrated perfectly why Valkyrie has become so vital to so many teams. In a game where the second circle information indicated the zone pulling down towards Thermal Station, several teams rotated to the Southwest POI in hopes of grabbing the best late-game spot. Instead, the circle ended up pulling back up towards Staging. Several teams without Valkyrie, like G2, were caught out by the unexpectedly pull. NRG, however, used Valkyrie’s ultimate to bypass the dangerous chokes from Thermal leading into Staging, and secured high ground in the late game, recording an easy victory to begin the game. Their Valkyrie rotate came at the expense of SHEEEEEEEESH, who had what would have become the winning spot, but didn’t expect NRG to land out of bounds on top of a mountain before quietly dropping on top of the content dream team and easily winning the fight. 먹튀검증사이트 As opposed to the aggressive rotation they pulled off in the first match to take a victory, it was patient play that NRG rode to a victory in game two. With IGL and Wraith player Chris “sweetdreams” Sexton taken out earlier in the game, NRG were down to duo Aidan “rocker” Grodin and Nathan “Nafen” Nguyen with plenty of teams fighting around them on the bridge at the heart of World’s Edge, connecting Fragment East and Fragment West. As the final circle closed, rocker and Nafen waited until the last possible second to engage, letting teams like G2, Spacestation, and Counter Logic Gaming take fights all around them before entering the fray and finishing the match off for themselves. Game three disrupted the power balance in the lobby somewhat, with leaders NRG and G2 going down relatively early and allowing the rest of the lobby to creep back up on them. Esports Arena notching a second-place finish with 10 kills, but it was Furia that won the day, and they did it with a certain amount of style. Thanks to a slow start to the Pro League, Furia have swapped team compositions a couple times before landing on their current favorite. That would explain why they’re one of the only teams in North America’s Pro League running everyone’s favorite Salvonian explosives expert, Fuse. |
