And today, one of these teams is going to make a memory we’ll never forget. This is the final day of the 2025 Fortnite Global Championship. Leon vet Fortnite Global Championship. Back to back to back. Are you ready? Wait, I think I am ready. But we need to keep testing this crowd. I think I’m going to be testing on the on their English very soon, Benji. I think Oh, yeah. key mercy. But today is not about any of us except these players and the winners who will be raising this silverware created by Thomas Light. It is the most beautiful silverware, but it also means that you are the best team in the world when you raise it. The question is, can Quezy, Swizzy, and Mustache hold on until the end of game 12? Benji. Hello. Get this crowd to show the rest of the world how the French can make some noise for me, please. And there’s so much more of that to come today. But for now, let’s talk about what happened in games 1, 2, 3, four, and five, and six yesterday with the other guest. Fortnite fam, welcome back to the Global Championship. This is day number two. It is great to be back here with some of our favorite friends, these players, and this amazing crowd. Uh we’ve already seen several clips of you guys going crazy. There’s moments where you couldn’t even hear what we were saying cuz the the noise was so loud and that’s what we are here for. And of course, we’re also here for some global championship or champions to be crowned. Day two feels a little bit different. Maybe it’s the looming thought, the obvious idea that after these six subsequent games, we’re going to crown global champions. Only six games separates us many minor. I’m excited. Day one, what an incredible day that was. Day number two can only get better, I’m sure. And with this crowd, the way they’ve been reacting to what’s going on in the game, it’s going to be so so hype. Oh man. So, let’s talk about it, right? Let’s get right into it. What are we here for? What are we playing for? Let’s start with, of course, the prize pool. $450,000 to the trio that comes in first place. Obviously, we saw Quasy kind of locking down that first place spot. If we end the things right there, hey, they’re walking away with that much money. That’s pretty sweet. Would definitely be crazy. Chill out. Zeke got six more games to play before we get there, right? A lot can happen. We talked about this, of course, yesterday, right? $450,000 for that first place trio. Incredible amount of money. a mini miner. I’m sure you and I, everybody at home would love to have that trophy sitting behind them. I mean, look at it. It’s just beautiful. It shines with every single light that’s shone on it. I mean, looking at it up close, it looks even better there. I think that’s the only time I’ll ever get that close to it, to be honest. But, I mean, what a what a trophy it is. What a prestige it would be for a team to win this. Oh man, shout out to Thomas Light. Thank you guys so much for such a beautiful trophy. So, what happened day number one? Well, the standings are a great place to start. Let’s remind ourselves of where things ended. kind of spoiled in case not spoiled it. I mean, let’s be honest. How can we forget such a performance? Queezy, Mach, and Swizzy in first place. Look at this lead, Vivid. This is exactly where we want to start day number two. I don’t know where else you would want to start, right? I mean, it could be close, but n they were like, why don’t we just keep winning those games? So close to getting four Victor Royals yesterday as well. A just a straightup dominant performance from the trio. Yeah, the dream start for this trio, right? We saw them, the fans are absolutely loving them. Of course, the gentle mates themselves, they’re absolutely loving this trio. And I think that can work to a lot of teams advantage, but it can also work to their disadvantage as well, right? They might feel that pressure. So, that’s absolutely ideal for them. Just the ability to come out of the gates really, really strong, pick up wins in that fashion. So, good from them. You know, of course, you know, we’re seeing the trios, all of them kind of walk in right then and there. yesterday after the games kind of ended, right? We were all kind of loading up on the bus together and you know, quiz queasy swizzy mustache were there and I was like, “Hey guys, like decent start, right? It was a pretty good pretty good day number one.” They were like, “Eh, it’s decent.” I mean, look, by their standards, they would have loved to win six in a row, right? They’ve already done in a major. Why not try things out at land? You got halfway there. But listen, we have six games today. Maybe we can try and push out another three, get six wins on land. And I mean again the fact that they have three victory royale on land environment backto back is insane. You know I mean obviously it’s very very easy for us to talk about the victory royale but look at the other games there many right does a great job of showing off just how well they played in every single game. Yeah something I spoke about at the end of the day yesterday the games that they’re having when they’re not winning are still absolutely amazing especially that last game as well. The way that it was Queezy and Swizzy were able to sort of clutch up, find all those eliminations, find all those placements as a duo just gives this team so much firepower. No matter what happens, they always seem to make it work. And the way that they talk in interviews, the way that Quezy talks, so so confident, so so calm. Let’s hope they can bring that into today. Man, for Quezy to walk away with a global champion title with this crowd behind him, I mean, there could not be anything better than that. Uh let’s take a look at some of the damage numbers from the trio. We took a look and broke kind of things down. Looking at them, looking at everybody else. So, let’s take a look. Yeah, Mer Stash. Okay. All right. 3k damage. Swizzy 2.2. I mean, guys, these are they are leading the pack. Yeah, they really are. I mean, the revolver is such a valuable item for a lot of the teams, right? And we often see a lot of players using it in conjunction with a shotgun, using it like a sort of double pump format. But the way that these guys are using these is so so impressive. mustache in particular, he didn’t get a single amount of damage with a shotgun yesterday only using that revolver. And I think that’s what we saw so much of them yesterday up on that high ground using that revolver cuz of course when you ADS with it, it has that smaller sort of spread, right? So you can hit closer shots, but you can hit further shots with a lot closer of that spread, therefore doing a lot of damage. So Mustache absolutely popping off with I mean obviously did such a good job, right? We’re kind of talking about how easy it was for them to kind of get up on the higher ground. You do have to hold it. you do have to apply the pressure and I feel like for Sash just played it perfectly, right? You’re talking about the distance that that revolver kind of gives you in that sense. Always distance between him and his opponents. It was always perfect. That’s why he’s top in the damage charts right now. I love that. But I guess the question is obviously we’ve had a day, a night to kind of refresh ourselves. Look at everything that’s going on. Could we see the lobby try and contest this trio for height? Is is today that time? I think yes. It’s something I’ve been saying a lot. I’ve been speaking to a lot of the fans in the arena and speak to a lot of course everyone else that’s here. And I do think they’re going to get contested at some point today, right? I think there’s going to be a team that maybe catches up a little bit, tries to close the gap on the team. And that’s of course the the easy way to go about that, of course, you know, to try and take out your nearest competition. But this is Queezy, this is Swizzy, this is Mustache. They would have prepared for that outcome. Yeah, that’s what I’ll be looking forward to, right? Well, I hope that nobody kind of lands on them, right? Kind of messes up their early game cuz I do want to see them kind of perform in the end game. Kind of continue to show us that consistent performance. But hey, listen. If it does happen, I’ll be excited to see if they prepared anything specifically for it. Man, I’m just reliving yesterday. The highlight moments from the trio, man. They just look so good, so clean. Everything they were doing was executed so well, Vivid. I mean, yeah, it was just played to perfection. And the thing that I love is how adaptable they were, right? As you can see right here, getting height for them was the easy part. Holding it is a different story. But they also make that look easy. As you can see right here, they decided to go ahead and beef up a bottom layer of the high ground and then have two players actually play a couple of extra layers above that strategically speaking right in the game right now. There’s Flowberry Fizz in the game. You’ve got the crash bed so players can actually launch up to the high ground very very easy. So playing that double layered height is very very good to kind of prevent that from happening. Yeah, definitely. I mean having that the distance between two layers so so valuable if someone does try decide to try and launch pad up maybe using the crash pad to try and get their way up they can just deal with it so so easily and again we saw it with mustache with that revolver just swatting everyone that’s deciding to come on up making it so so simple for them and then in another game they decide not to but they’re very adaptable Vivid yeah exactly and as you can see right here they go with a different strategy they keep Quezy and Mach up on the high ground but then Swizzy drops down he’s going to be the one kind of holding down the batches for the trio right he’s going to one in the face of all of the trios below them. Making sure that they feel his presence in the lobby. Now, these type of play adapting to the lobby. It could be a material based thing, right? If they don’t have enough materials to kind of do that double layer, they might do something like this. But it’s like obviously we know they’re going to go for high ground. But if you look at every single one of the games, they almost play high ground differently just based on how the lob is going. Yeah, they do. And even when they’re going to set up for high ground, the setup for is so so good. But I saw them in so many occasions just not necessarily being right up above the rest of the lobby in that sort of seventh zone. They decided to do it in the eighth zone. They try and get up there at that point. In some of the games they were, some of the games they weren’t. They were sort of behind hills trying to stay out of line of sight. Every single time they go into a game they approach it differently. Height is not the same in every single moment. So these guys are just adaptability kings at the moment. Hopefully they can continue today in sort of other areas of the game as well. Yeah, I mean you know what’s what better time to force adaptation than in day two, right? Right. And I love that you guys are kind of highlighting these things cuz that means, you know, if we come into day two and everyone’s saying, “Ah, we’re just going to take hype from Queezy, we’ll contest them.” It’s not going to be that easy, right? This guy came in and did what he did in this environment at these stakes with this crowd. And the fact that Swizzy, you know, we kind of seen this history in previous times, not being able to play with his correct duo, trio partners at the time, right? And then comes in with his actual team members and look at the performance he’s putting on. I mean, we talked about it, right? a lot of pressure on their shoulders just simply based on the fact that a lot of people kind of had them towards the top of their prediction list and I can’t lie many they are rising to the occasion. Yeah, they definitely are. So good. All right, of course we’ve talked about Quezy. We’ve talked about Swizzy. Why do we hear from Mach because Frankie is standing by with him right now? We had to grab Mach after yesterday’s performance. Were you expecting to be top of the leaderboard after day one? I knew we going to place at least top of three, but that we’re going to win and about be above second place by 200 points. No, definitely not. Are you surprised that none of the other teams here are able to break through that double top in the end game? Yeah. So, it’s actually our strat that uh that you can’t take our high ground. It’s just impossible. Like you can’t do anything. It looks that way. performance. Now, how will you keep this um constant constancy in your performance? So, I think we have the same plan. We just changed a little bit so teams around us can grief us and even like any other teams at far because I think we can get greed because teams wants to win as well. So, we should just change a little bit our plan. Is the strategy if people do drop on you at the hive? Basically, Swizzy, go frag. Yeah, that’s basically it. I mean, I don’t think anyone going to contest us because uh it’s kind of hard to contest our spot. If you con, you will die by third party. Well, there you have it. I’ve got an exclusive for the analyst desk there. Just send Swizzy in. You know, if it works, it works, right, Frankie? I mean, Swizzy again being that fragger going absolutely crazy and and I kind of touched on it yesterday, but like my favorite part of these kind of environments is kind of getting to see the players talk to them directly after those moments uh of victory of of mess ups or whatever. And to see every time we like they get a win and you kind of see Swizzy like off to the right side, he’s just freaking out. He’s have like just smiling real big cuz he knows what he’s pulled off on the land environment. And again, reminder, the past view, he’s not been with his proper teammates. So, I I really appreciate getting to see that side of the players. Yeah, 100%. I also love to see the side where Mash is pretty full, common, and collected, right? He was talking about it during that interview right there. Hey, listen, you know, we’re very very aware of the fact that the best chance to kind of come for us would be in the early game. If team, other teams want to win, that’s when they’re going to come. Of course, they’re thinking about that. It sounds like they’re prepared. Yeah. Remember, Mustache hasn’t been in this position on land yet, right? We haven’t seen this crazy performance from Mustache on land. So, he hasn’t actually been in a position of dominance after day one. So, I think he’ll be in the or previously he would have been in the shoes of the teams that are trying to catch up. Now, he’s in this brand new position and I think he’s carrying himself really well through that pressure as well, doing great with the fans as well, not letting it affect him, but also enjoying their company as well. Yeah, man. Of course, we just got to stay the course. Let’s keep pushing forward. Don’t change up anything, right? Let’s talk about uh the trio in second place. Obviously, a big crowd favorite. Vana, I mean, we heard him anytime he was on screen. You can hear him right now. Marius Pixie as well. Shout outs to Team Havoc. Shout outs to the M8. Of course, these guys are sitting so good right now. Of course, coming in having time to prepare things. I’m excited to see what they might change up for day number two. Yeah, I mean, I was really impressed with their day one performance overall. You know, the way that they played. I think if you’ve been watching a lot of EU this season, or this year, I should say, you you know, these guys are sort of a hype team as well. They like to try and go for height, but they’ve sort of adapted in this global championship. They haven’t been trying to W key height. They know that Quez is going to be up there. We just broke it down. We know how good they are at holding that position. So, they’re very adaptable. They have two of the best fraggers in the region, in the world on this team as well, led by Vana. So, it’s it’s a team that has it all. And I think if there’s any team that could overtake Quasi in first place, it’s these guys. The setup’s so good for them on spawn. And they’re such a strong team with it. Obviously, a tall task. I love the fact that you kind of bring up the history over on EU, right? Because Z loves to call it the meta within the meta, right? kind of bringing that to the global stage cuz if you are an EU team versus an EU team, you kind of are used to how this is going to go. So that might be something to look at, right? They may be like, “Hey, listen. We’re kind of used to playing for the higher end, right? How do we kind of implement that around how Quez is kind of going for it, but like you also mentioned, they’ve done a great job at adapting. Loved watching some of their games cuz they just control the mid ground so easy. They even seem very, very comfortable in that position as well.” I was speaking to Marius a little bit before as well, of course, his first land. So, you know, how’s he feeling? all that sort of stuff before today and and he was saying I don’t think we can catch up queasy but we can give it a good go right they’re going to try their very best but he’s not so confident in the fact they can get first place but for them I think it’s just about continuing doing what they can do let them do their thing see what happens yeah I mean they did such a great job yesterday would love to see them kind of continue through that kind of felt like towards the later half of the day Marios was kind of unleashed right kind of creating highlight reels all the way around but you know obviously the end game is very very important so is the early game something the always keep in the back of their minds. This is where Peterbot’s trio was initially going to land over at OXR, right? The change happens, right? And then, you know, Peterbot Cold Ritual, they end up leaving. So, they were meant to be contested all five games yesterday, but because of how things are kind of going for Cold Ritual and Peterbot Ospawn, they actually decided to come one game. Something to potentially think about today as well. Yeah, for sure. But it was very important the Vanas team actually managed to win that Ospawn fight. I think if they went down there, things would look a lot differently for them throughout the rest of the day. But, I mean, we can see it right here. the way they’re able to play that sort of low ground section. We’ve seen them with that minigun as well be so so valuable for them and and like you just mentioned Vivid Marius. Wow. Absolutely incredible performance towards the back end of yesterday. Yeah, I mean obviously doing very very well. I love the strategy that they end up implementing cuz it’s like every single one of their games is very very similar. They throw a launch but down in the middle of their POI. They go land in the middle of fourth zone. So they’re pretty much guaranteed to pull fifth and then they just do the classic within the meta right now. Use the Fizz, use the crash pads to go to every single one of the next zones. It’s very very clean and it’s very very repeatable for the trio. Okay, so if this trio wanted to try and strike first, right, what can they hope to do to try and catch a que? I mean Quezy’s got a lead, right? But Quezy starts to play this out well. If he makes a mistake, this opens a big door for Vignya. The problem is Quez and Mistake this weekend. They’re kind of opposites, right? We haven’t seen that happen from that team. So, you know, I think realistically for this team, they do have to play out their own game at the very beginning. I would be very surprised if they end up contesting queasy in game number one. I do not see that happening for this team in particular. They have to keep up doing what they’re doing. They’re performing very well in their own regard. So, they have to be confident in their own end games. If by game 10, 11, 12, we start they start looking and thinking maybe this is our only option. Maybe they’ll have to go on over there. Maybe third party them land nearby. It’s going to be tough for them. But like I said earlier, they just have to play their own game. Man, I’m excited. You guys got me amped up. Of course, we have a moment here. Why don’t we check in with Vana, see how he’s doing. Frankie, over to you. Thank you very much. Yes, I am here with Vana Boo. And first of all, how do you have so much aura? I mean, it’s it’s just made fun. It’s not me. I think it may be a bit of both. Let’s talk about the game you’re playing at the moment. Second on the leaderboard. A win is possible at the end of today, but the game that you’re playing is one I don’t associate with you with the low ground. Tell me how you’ve started to adapt things. I mean, we tried to take a ground two games and it’s not work for us. So, we just played from low ground, but we’ll try something different today. So, maybe going for height again. Yeah. So today, what do you expect? Do you expect to do victory royals or or more consistently things you aim? Yeah, we’ll try to win like at least three games because we need to try to get like first place today. So, we’ll try our best. Marius especially was really picking up momentum towards the end of the day yesterday. Are you feeling hot to go? Warmed up and ready? Yeah, we are so ready. I think he is. Just look at Vana’s eyes. Let’s head back to the desk. You know, I am even more a fan of Vana than I already was. And that was specifically because the MA fans and them chanting Vana boooo. Um, so I’m on board. Whenever you guys want to chant that, you feel free. Uh, obviously they’re locked in, right? And it’s interesting that he says we have to come out and win three games, right? I like that the the ceiling or like the bar is not like, oh, we just need to like be consistent. We need to do this. We need that. No, no, we need to do what Quasy did and win three games. I love that as well, right? Kind of standing up, hey, you’re going to kind of play consistently. Kind of do what you were kind of doing yesterday. It worked very, very well. Put you in second place. He’s like, nah, we got to win three games. And I love the fact, you know, how can they do that? mini m do they go for the higher ground I mean I don’t know I think they do I think they have to take a few risks now they’ve been playing very very sort of low ground play style which is working very well for them but we know how good they are at height right so you know they there is an opportunity for them to take it maybe if has a bad game goes down early they have to make that game count and I think that’s going to be the most crucial thing for them is when Queezy is not in the lobby they’re not getting points Vana’s team they have to make of course that was great and all guys I also want to talk about the three in third place right now Yavco Panzer steady in third place going into day number two. Oh my gosh, could I be more excited? Of course, I’m upset there’s no NA in the top three, but it’s fine. Don’t worry, you better have six games. Uh the trio looking very, very strong right now, Vivid. I love to see this because it feels like, you know, for both Cammy and Si, of course, their names were just synonymous together, and there was this big question mark on how they were going to do when they actually split. Clearly, right now, actually, for both of the trios, they were doing very, very well yesterday. obviously being in third place performing a little bit better is going to be SEI but you know throw it all the way back to invitational that was so long ago and the fact that STI is still up here competing on the global stage and doing very very well just awesome to see yeah I think a lot of people would have had this team a little bit lower down on their predictions after day number one because they look at the drop map they think yep contested you know they’re still going to get middle of the pack and especially with Cammy and STI’s history we sort of know that team is not the greatest offspawn fighting team so a lot of people had questions now Cammy has split with seti how are things going to go for them spawn and things will be going really really well for them as in terms of day number one. So I’m really excited to see what this team can do now. I mean you want to talk about storylines, right? Yco kind of coming in last globals to kind of be that sub player. Pick up a top 10 himself. Kind of said he’s scouting out that like wait a minute looks pretty good. How can you do that? Yeah, picking up a great piece of talent there. And then of course Panzer to fulfill the trio. It’s working out perfectly right now. Now guys, of course there’s a little bit of an asterisk, right? These guys are contested now. It seems like it’s working out so far, but if something were to kind of go in the opposite direction, include spell disaster for the trio. I feel like based on what we’ve seen, that shouldn’t be the case. You know, I’m happy that you kind of call talk about them being contested because, you know, me and Minnie kind of sat down last night. We were looking at the games and it’s it’s very very hard for us to catch everything that kind of happens in the other games. There’s so much going on. But actually turns out SI, Yapo, and Panzer were only landed on three times by Aspect, Khazi, and Tinko, right? So, it’s kind of like this weird thing where it’s like half the time they’re going there, half the time they’re not. Are they going to be contested today? Are they not? Yeah, it’s tough for them now. It’s tough for Set’s team, right? Cuz of course Tinker’s team, they were landing there a few times, then they decided to go elsewhere and it wasn’t like three games on, three games off. It was sort of in sort of sprinkled around, right? They’re going in different drop spots. So, I think that does prepare Set’s team in a way, right? They’re prepared for uncontested and a contested situation, which they’ve been doing really, really well. But now, I think it almost begs the question of what is Tinker’s team going to do now? Day two, they’ve been watching the VODs. They’ve been looking at what they’re doing wrong. So, could that throw a spanner in the works of STEI? Will we see that same performance? I certainly hope so, though, cuz they’re doing really great. Okay. Okay. Of course, you pulled some examples for us, Vivid, kind of talking about the trio, maybe how they’ve rotated cuz, you know, we’re we’re impressed by this performance. Yeah. I mean, they’ve been doing super super well and like Minnie mentioned, you know, of course being contested. It was only in three of the games. They did, of course, win every single time it actually ended up happening. But I think the the most impressive thing for this trio right now is the fact that they’ve been able to come up with a strat that actually works regardless of how the game kind of goes to them, right? They’re contested. They do the same thing. They’re uncontested, they do the same thing. The zone, the storm is covering Capactory very, very early on. They do the same thing. It just doesn’t matter. Yeah. One of these things that they do is, of course, they find these launch pads, right? These huge launch pads that can send you so far up in the sky, they actually place one down. They almost use it as a static launch pad, although it’s not there on the map all the time. They of course that gives them not only so much visibility but also Tinker when they contest them right here that fight out get all of that storm surge damage so so effectively and even go down here to farm a little bit more as well. Yeah. Now the specific strategy they pretty much do is kind of just sent off to go ahead and pick up as much loot as he possibly can, right? And he returns to that quote unquote static launch pad that they kind of throw down in the middle of the POI. He usually will end up dropping all of his loot and then continue to go ahead and pick up more stuff. Yeah. And Panza does all of the surge damage up on this massive base right here. We see them shooting at Malibuk right here. And this is a really important role for this trio because Panza, remember this is first time on this stage. So big big role for a player of that caliber. We know how good he sort of burst onto the scene at the beginning of the year and is doing very well on Lan as well. Of course being in the trio with the most storm damage taken as well. Right. That’s kind that’s why we kind of talked about it, right? They will make sure that they pick up enough loot from all of the surrounding area kind of using that launch pad. They don’t mind delaying it because again they still have that launch pad to kind of flow in or fly into the zones. They stayed in it in this game this example all the way until fourth, right? The launch pad such an important part of their strategy and so is just kind of hiding away in the storm. Yeah, they get so much surge damage early. They’re sitting inside the storm getting all those heals. When it comes to the end game then playing low ground, playing consistent sort of back to what we used to see with Cammy and Seti when they were a duo, right? And even a trio as well. So, uh, it’s it’s great to see these guys playing. They seem to make the most of the games they make off. So cool, right? Thinking Launchpad, we should probably save that to the end game, right? Changing up how you utilize that. Look at the advantage that trio’s got. Now, of course, we do have Yapo standing by. Let’s hear from him. I am so glad that Yapo is back representing Europe and doing it in such fashion. Yapo, when you came back from North America and joined up with Panza and Seti, did you expect your trio to do so well? so quickly. Uh I’m not sure. We were last second trio. We had a lot of stuff to learn together about each other and we managed to do it before FNCS and Globals and now we’re pretty good trio. Well, you must have the chemistry because you’re doing incredibly well off spawn at Kappa Kappa Factory. What do you think is going so right for you there? Uh we put in a lot of time on practicing it before here like in customs every night. We played once against other pro teams. What does your experience because you’re used to learn? Do you think it helps you? Uh, I don’t think it helps me. I don’t think it gives me worse. Like it’s just uh it doesn’t matter if I’m online, if I’m at home. I feel the same everywhere. So, no pressure. No pressure. No pressure. Is it fun to also be playing against some of your ex opponents in North America and even against the next teammate in Muzz? Uh yeah. I’m not really like thinking about it. I’m just playing it like it’s every other final. So at the end today, are you going to be lifting that trophy? Hopefully. Well, we will see. Let’s head back to the desk. Try to keep things calm, cool, and collected, right? Calling out, “Hey, I’m just treating this like every other final.” That’s a great mindset, right? cuz things again we continue to talk about it with this type of crowd things are on another level of pressure and I love that Yep. I mean he’s kind of been under this pressure before mini right at game. Yeah, gamers 8 2023 of course ended up winning that event on LAN. Of course, different game mode, you know, regardless it doesn’t make a difference, right? LAN is still the same the same sort of environment. So, I think that definitely has a part to play now. You know, he was leading very very well in the first day of that. Now, coming into today, third place looking good for them. That experience is going to be so so vital for him in front of a crowd like this on land. I know he says it’s the same. It’s not the same. It’s never going to be the same. I’m like, it’s good to have that mindset, right? Yeah. I’m like think that’s got to be a lie, right? No way. He feels the exact same way about that. But I love the fact that he goes ahead and mentions, hey, listen, you know, we’re we’re kind of a lastm minute trio that kind of formed, right? We kind of tee up Globes were like, “Hey, listen. Some of these trios, they’ve been playing together all year. They’re going to be so experienced. They’re going to be used to playing together.” And then a team that kind of forms in the last second, right? Kind of buzzard beater ends up doing this well. Man, it’s just awesome to see. To think this is one of these three trios could be our global champions, right? They are fighting right now tooth and nail. I’m almost curious, right? is day two. Is this pressure going to be more? Are they feeling the stress of like, okay, everyone is looking at us in the top three. Is that going to slow them down? I don’t know. You think eyes are really on the top three, right? I feel like everybody kind of has the same sentiment. All eyes are on first place right now. How do we stop? How do we give ourselves kind of this best chance, which is kind of good when you think about it for Mercedes? Hey, listen. The race is on and all eyes on Quezy right now. They got to be feeling good. Oh man, high eyes right now are actually on this crowd. Vivid, we’ve got Frankie standing by. Why don’t we hear from this crowd right now? It’s almost the beginning of the first games. This is why I love this crowd. You ask them nicely to do something and they do it and they look so good as they do. Should we test their voices now? I love it. Okay, then let’s test out who they think is going to be raising the Thomas Light trophy at the end of today. Leon who’s on Stei Yamco Panda Well, they made noise. No more queasy swizzy must. Whoever wins jog, I have to say I think they’re never going to forget this crowd. We I am loving this so much, but I can’t wait to hear what this crowd sounds like once the games are underway. So, let’s head back to the desk. Thank you so much. I mean, guys, come on. This crowd is insane. How could we not be excited? How could we not be hyped? Um, I do want to kind of I guess we kind of have to call out something if we just want to take a look at these standings real quick. Want to bring those up. Um, there’s something missing uh from these standings. Um, uh, yeah, I I thought this was a global championship. Uh, I thought we’d have some NA representation. Uh, Vivid, dude, my heart hurts, dude. It’s looked so good for, you know, more than one NA team. And right now, I mean, fifth place, hey, shout out to Canata Rapid Bullets because, you know, 267 points for them. They were kind of coming in pretty pretty confident and they were kind of like an underrated trio kind of coming in this. I actually predicted them to be top five. So, shout out to them. Where’s everybody else at though? Yeah, I was also thinking the same, right? Uh probably through a slightly different lens like EU’s on top and you’re like doing an A. But, uh yeah, I mean Canada’s team, what a start for them yesterday, right? Winning game number one. I think they were a little bit of a sleeper team. Absolutely. A lot of people didn’t have them in that sort of top five. I know you did, so you’ll mention that. Um, but I mean, you know, Acorn Poo, Acorn Pooy, that’s a new one. Acorn Poo and Asia down there at Demons. I think they struggle a little bit early game trying to find that consistency, but they’re a team that can pop off for it. Day two. Exactly. Right. Still, you know, coming into this competition, I was like, “Hey, listen. Everything looks so good for Acorns Trio. It looks like they’re going to win it.” Obviously, you know, the start has not been the best, but they’re still pretty much in the same situation coming into day number two. They’re still uncontested at a very good POI. they can still do good. They can still pop off and rise up the leaderboard. And I spoke to Acorn at the hotel actually before day number one. I said, “Are you the sort of person that gets nervous for these big events? You like to think about it? Do you like to stay out of the zone or in the zone?” And he said, “It depends on how well prepared we are, right? If I’m not as prepared, I’m not feeling as confident.” I think they are going to be looking back at the games last night being so so prepared. So, I’m expecting these guys to come out with a lot of confidence. Okay. Okay. I’m getting word. Frankie is standing by with some of our players in the player lounge right now. Frankie, rally the team. Rally the troops. How do you solve a problem like North America right now? Well, you’re sending a British zero builds player or maybe you get Canada to do a pep talk. Do you want to try? Right now I’m in fifth place for NAC. What place are you in right now? I’m in 10th. Looking rough. I don’t know if we could do it, bro. Oh, I think I think I’m in like eighth or something, bro. I I don’t even know. It’s just I’m just going to have to land on Quez, bro. I’m not going to lie. It made on bottom, bro. It’s over. Like, it’s over. Okay. So, this is our game plan for NAC to come back today. I’m going to win every single game today. 20 kills minimum. What are you going to do? I think we’re going to try to get the least amount of points as possible to help out my boy Kennady right here. I mean, uh I’m going to try to win two like him. But, um I mean, Click’s been kind of selling lately cuz like his girlfriend’s here and he’s not really locked in, you know? He’s not not grinding, but it’s fine. That’s not awesome, bro. This is why you stay single, Canada. I’ve been single. It’s been rough. You know, it’s whatever, but we’re going to lock in this day. All right, then. You heard it here first. North America is locked in. Let’s head back to the desk. Lean. Leaven. No. Uh, we got a plan. Okay. NA is coming back stronger in day number two. Okay. All right. I don’t want to hear it from the EU fans. We have a plan now. We just execute on that plan. Please, please. I mean, hey, listen. Did you talk about rallying troops? We did get them all together surprisingly, right? A little bit of a round table right there. I don’t know if that was very productive, though. Yeah. What do we get out of that? We got Canadas and Higs is trolling talking about clicks grinding. Click grinding. Adri is like I’m just going to get as least amount of points as possible. And then Higs is like yeah it’s it’s over. I want to see more confidence. Come on NA. You know it’s it’s it’s your time. I mean it’s still like we’ve had half the games, right? We still have another half of the competition to go. This could completely flip. Everyone that did well on day number one, they might not do so good on day number two. The teams that didn’t do so good on day number one might now do well on day number two. So, I want to see more confidence from NA. Yeah. I mean, that’s just a classic NA strategy. Um, any minor, don’t worry about it. It’s our it’s our strategy to get in the minds of the EU folk and kind of like convince them that we’re not going to do anything. You know, everything’s fine. We’re going to lose the game. Yeah, that’s all right. Back me up, David. Back me up. Yeah, exactly. That’s uh all part of the plan. Oh, no. Anyway, I know what time it is. You guys want to start meeting the players. We need to get them on stage. Get them on that battle of us so we can kick off the competition. So Leon, give it up for your players. Welcome back to Tason Chicho and Atri. Being contestant is never easy, but if they make it off spawn, a victory royale is definitely in their sights. It’s Curly Cooper and Reed. Day one wasn’t what anyone expected from them, but now a new day. They have a chance to prove they belong here. Dropping in high, it’s Pisco Striker and Kadoo. With two top five finishes yesterday, it’s clear they can hang with the best. But now it’s time to be consistent. Poland’s pride picks and Deus. From underdogs to top dogs, these guys earned everyone’s respect. But now it’s time to earn that trophy. Leon, you have to get loud for Victor V. Paper and Epic Whale. It’s a new day, but these guys are looking to bring the same determination and then some in the race to the top. All the way from Brazil, Gapetta Way and Scarpa. When they get knocked down, they pick themselves up and dust themselves off because a comeback is incoming. Game one winners from day one. It’s Canado Rapid and Bolts. We saw them pop off both in and out of game. And now it’s time to run it right back. Coming in hot, Stei, Yako, and Panzer from New Team on the Block to serious threats. They’re just a few big gangs away from claiming that top spot. They knew it’d never be easy, but Balor Mansour and Adaptor had their work cut out for them. Let’s see how they fare here in day two. The Wonder from down under, Anan, Alex, and Resides with an entire region supporting them. We are looking at these guys to climb up the ladder all day long. Despite a tough opening, Puyo Angers and Acorn ability to adapt is second to none. So never count these guys out because they’re looking to break into the top. First of all, please, Leon, can you show some appreciation for Havoc pigs? Oh, come on, Havoc fans. I know you can be louder than that. Havoc, kick, let’s hear you. Okay, I’m going to come over now to Darm and Adimus because you’re currently in fourth on the leaderboard. You are contested, uncontested, I should say. Uh do you think that’s the reason why you’re doing so well? Yeah, probably. When we are uncontested, we can play the the best as we can. Yes. And I I wonder if you’ve got any strategies for in case people do decide to try and contest you. I mean like it’s just Are you Can you repeat the question? Do you have any plans? What are you going to do if someone comes and tries to contest you? I mean like we’re just going to try to kill them and just Yeah. We win the game. Before I let you go, Havoc fans here, just one word for the Havoc fans, please pick. I love you all. There you have it. Picks loves you. Havoc fans. He’s going to be doing it for you guys and for Poland today. Joa. Hello everybody. Hello everybody. Tisco striker and Kadu. I have the first question to you. You are in top 15 close to the top 10. How will you go into the top 10? So the top 10. So they changed a few things on their strategy. Um they uh talked a little bit uh yesterday on new things that they have to do and I think they’re confident that they can make it. And now guys, do you have a word for your Brazilian fans? Uh so they say for the Brazilian cheer for us um and for the Argentinian um he’s speaking directly for them and good luck to you. Let’s go back to Frankie. Let’s see. I’m here with North America Central’s greatest hope Canada Rapid and Bolts. And look at that. Canad has done the impossible. He’s got the French fans on side. But will you still have them on side if you manage to take the top spot? I mean, you know me. We just playing the game. If we take down France, I love France. So, it’s unlucky. You know, we’re just playing a game. Let’s go. Come on. Let’s get this. We’re locked in. We’re showing up for NA. We going to win this tournament today. I thought you were going to lose them then, Canada. Slightly, but not quite. Okay, then Boltz, you carry these guys back in the major three finals. Do you feel the pressure on your shoulders to carry them to the top today? Nah, there’s no pressure on my hands. You know, I have all the evidence to back up my skill. You know, I’m always hitting max pumps. Rapid’s the best eye job I’ve ever played with. Nada is the best support player. He’s also fragging. So, I already know we’re going to take it home today. All right, then. Leon, please give them your energy and please show your appreciation for our next teams. It’s your boys King Phaser and PH. These guys won’t go down without a fight. You can expect them to lay it all on the line in the pursuit of that trophy. The lobby’s heating up and Vortex, Mountain, and Goofy are ready to get the comeback started for day two on the global stage. Just watch them work. It’s Baka Bars and Pump. They might be down, but they are never out. The two-time FNCF champs are looking for a major comeback today. Let’s get it. They may be a new trio, but I drop Cammy and Honey have been around long enough to know exactly what it takes to overcome the competition in a two-day event. The pride of Middle East hero Halan FKS, they prove they can fight against the best. With six games today, they have to lay it all on the line. Four times two might be eight, but Clicks Higs and are more than capable of breaking into the top three. Just give them time to rep the set for an elite performance. Get now from Manim Witzy and Boo with a seventh place finish to close out game six. They show their potential. If they can build off that momentum, sky’s the limit. Please welcome It’s in focus and up. They won some hard battles, but today is all about finding their tempo to jump some placements on the leaderboard. Walking in now, Art School and SAO. So close to top 10 and we haven’t even seen their best today. They plan to show the world what they’re truly made of. He said 12 for 12, but Coyota Re and Yuma could easily mix things up in an effort to overcome and overtake their competition in the lobby. Gentleman, it’s Various Bona and Pixie. Whether it’s Havoc or M8, they have the entire arena on their side. Now it’s time to show the world what you got. I wanted to come and speak to some of our North American West players. So, please backers, pause, pump. Please be on your feet. Let the fans see you. Pump. This is your very first Fortnite Global Championship. How are you finding it? I’m finding it good. I mean, I wish we were uncontested, but you know, it it’s how the game is. So hopefully we can pull off a better day. How are those Osborne fights going for you at the moment? Uh it’s coming 33 right now. We’re confident going to the next couple games next. Have you been discussing how you’re you’re going to overcome the situation? Are you thinking of maybe moving your drop spot? Oh yeah, we’re pretty uh we got everything covered right now. Uh got locked in for a day. Interesting cards. Tell me you are at 18th on the leaderboard. Obviously six more games, everything to play for. Do you play it safe? or do you play it like you have nothing to lose? I mean, we definitely aren’t here for some mediocre placement. We’re going to try our best to end up top five at the end of the day. Well, you won majors one and three in your region, so I know you’ve got it in you. Thank you so much, guys. Let’s head to Cha. The first question question that comes to me it’s you’re on the ninth position. So you’re close to the top five. Closer to the top five. So how will you bring your team to the top five? I think we just got to follow the game plan like we did yesterday and uh made a couple changes. Just got to make sure we don’t have any zero point games and just stay focused today. And so you did very a great job on consistency because being top 10, top nine, it’s already something very great. Do you feel confident for this second day? Yeah, I mean I feel as confident as I can be. I think we’re just going to do our job and um try to perform the best we can. Frankie, it’s your time. Messi Chaka, please let me introduce you to my new friends Arc and School. This is their first ever Fortnite Global Championship and they’re sitting in 12th, which is incredible. Boys, how have you found the action so far? Um, it’s been really fun. I’m proud. We’re going to get top five today and it’s going to be a beautiful experience. Interesting. I’m loving the confidence. Where is this coming from? Um, we’re just the best fighting team here and any trail that runs into us will always just get wiped. Okay. Are you expecting teams to come running into you? Uh, no. We’re going to be running into them. Interesting. Okay. I can’t wait to see you guys dropping from the battle bus today. Good luck, guys. I think though we need to hear some more support from the crowd. And Leon, would you like to meet your final teams? Up next, it’s Shadow Speaks and M. Even with the odds against them, this trio’s got no problems with defeating expectations to finish with promising results. The terror of EU, Fixie, Veno, and Vico. After day one, they showed their potential with one win. Now they need to fully show out in order to steal that top spot. It’s a new day for Razle, Rayito, and Tay. And after having the night to review, maybe they’ll bring some new results with it. A warm welcome to Pablo Chino being contested. didn’t stop them from getting a victory. Now they just need to continue to take matters in their own hands and win it all being and walks with the heart of Leon behind them. It just might be all the motivation they need to kick things into overdrive for a strong finish. Give it up for Chapz and Mr. Savage with three games inside of the top six. They’ve shown experience and firepower, but now it’s showing the world what you got left. Snowy, Ryu, and Don put on quite the show yesterday with their constant box fighting. And if they had some good placements with it, then the Middle East might just be due for an upset. The NA champs, Peterbach, Gold, and Ritual. With their backs up against the wall, there’s only one thing they can do. take over the competition like they’ve done many times before. Nothing to lose, but everything to gain. It’s Cassie, Tinka, and Aspect. Whoops can be deceiving, so don’t sleep on some of Oshi’s finest. They’re ready to lock in. It’s visual grades and a Minish. Even though things didn’t go their way day one, they’re just a couple of games away from a comeback. It’s now or never la. Their gameplay said everything while their results wrote a new chapter in Fortnite history. This is your moment. So take it. What do you think of the new look, Leon? I’m starting to feel like a professional Fortnite player, but actually now I need to talk to some VCO. Seventh place right now on the leaderboard. Is a win still possible? Yeah, I think like it’s kind of hard, but 1% chance 99% faith. I think PZ has got this in the bag though, but nothing’s possible, you know. You seem to be very nice about some of your fellow European teams. Also, the American ones. I saw you fist pumping some of the North American guys. Is it all love on this stage? It’s all actually. No, it’s not all love. There’s zero French players at this land. Keep booing me. Okay, I might give him the sunglasses to put back on. Fixie, let me come to you because you do have top five experience from last year. And I want to know how you learned to go even further from last year to this year. I mean, this year we placed first in Gloid in the first year, so we know how to win and we’re going to do it today. So, yeah. Well, I have a feeling these guys are going to start to really enjoy being the le the villains when they prove themselves in just a few moments. But for now, let’s head to Cha. Hello. Hello. You won the last game yesterday. How you feel? Because you are the last one who win won a game and you come back. Are you proud of yourself and are you here with a good energy? Yeah, I mean uh we finally got to uh like get nud spawn and hopefully we can continue today winning a game. So have you tried to change some things or have you moved anything in your plan in your strategy? Uh yeah we what we of course but I can’t tell too much here. So not speaking about it. question. Do you feel that the crowd is crazy in France? Uh, no. I don’t feel like they’re against us, but they’re definitely with their mate. They are. Thank you very much. Let’s go back to Frankie. Thank you very much. I’m just getting visuals from Braz. You’re in 22nd place. Okay. We can’t afford to have you rest on your laurels here. What’s the plan? I’m just locking in. You know, I’m getting the flow state. Just like leaning back in the black flight chair. Yeah, that’s properly locking in. Amish, what’s the plan? We’re landing on Queezy. Oh, landing on the hive. That is a very tricky drop spot though, Brace. It’s an incredibly tricky drop spot the hive, especially when you’re up against the players who are at the top of the leaderboard. Yeah, we have practice it in the practice arena a little bit, so we should be able to do it, too. Visual believing this is really going to happen. You’re really going to drop at the high today. I guess you’ll have to find out. I think we will have to find out. One last time, please. Leon V. Guys, let’s let’s be honest with ourselves for a moment. There’s no way they’re going to land on Quez. There there’s no way they’re going to land on Queze, right? That’s there. No, there’s no way. Little bit of farming going on. I’m I’m pretty sure they did a good job of it, right? Two minutes left to go before the game and we’ll actually see what happens. But a little buzzard beater right there. Kind of getting that clip in. Yeah, I don’t know if it’s a bit of mind games. I don’t know. It’s not like they’re directly contesting them on the leaderboard, right? They’re quite far behind. But for that team, you know, they’re going to be trying to think about new strategies. What can we actually do to climb our way up in the standings? Because this is a team that we have of course seen throughout the year doing pretty pretty well on NA, right? They haven’t necessarily had a great season in terms of divisional cups. They haven’t been performing so well. So that form coming into it, this globals is not so great, but when it comes to this stage, anything can happen. You can you got six games now. The the world’s your royster. Yeah, I love uh I want to call out Veno there. Uh you know, love him or hate him. Veno is a character, bro. Got the walking out ice cold with the shades on howling out, hey, look, boommy, there’s no French uh trios here, though. That’s, you know, that’s Ice Cold, Beno. I mean, yeah. I mean, obviously Veno kind of walking out like that, right? A lot of the trio still seeming to be in high spirits. Kind of, you know, Pete reminding everybody of the FNCS wins as he comes out as well. But I think there was one of those walkouts that stuck out more than all of the others, right? And it’s going to be the last one. Of course, the crowd given its utmost loudest roar, I’m pretty sure, of the weekend so far for Queezy, Swizzy, and Mustache. And they deserve it. And they love it. They absolutely love it. They’re playing to it. They play style sort of pandas to it as well, right? play in that high ground play style. The way they can win games, they can have clutch moments. Even the Fraggers, of course, doing exactly what they do best, just providing highlight reel after highlight reel. They’re a great team to watch. So, not only, of course, they have two players on M8, they’re also just great entertainers as a team. You can hear it. They absolutely love them and for good reason. Yeah, man. Look at cheese in there, man. I love to see this. I mean guys, look, if we get any more victory out of this trio today, I will lose my voice and I feel like everyone in the stands will as well. Again, we could be looking at our new global champions. They have such a lead coming into today and now we have to just hope. Whatever else is going on, they’re prepared. Maybe maybe NA’s dropped on them. I don’t think so. But, you know, we just got to hope that they hold on strong. I mean, yeah, they definitely have to, right? globals. It’s been a very rare occurrence for any of our winners who have 12 good games. So far, they’ve had six. If they can continue to do well, pick up those top fives like they have done consistently. So, yeah, nobody’s going to be able to catch them. But like I already said, very unlikely that they won’t have, you know, a bad game in the mix. And once they do, that’s going to kind of open the gates for all of the other trios. Got to catch up. I’m calling it right here. It’s not crazy prediction, I’ll be honest. Quasy game one win. They’re doing it. It’s such a queasy thing to do. looking at the vault, making sure they’re adapting to the lobby, coming out of the gate strong. It’s such a queasy Swizzy and mustache thing to do. They’re playing it so so well. They might have trouble later on down the line. I think a lot more teams, as we see a lot quite often in Fortnite tournaments, is they need to try and boost their way up in the standings for their own good. So, they might try and take height, but that first game, keep an eye on them. Okay. All right. Listen, I’m going to make a bold prediction here. I’m going to say Kannada is going to come back, win three more games today, cuz that’s what he personally told me. I’m going to win four at land. So, I got to believe in NA. We’re making a resurgence. Okay, it don’t call it a comeback. We’ve been here for years. Okay, everything’s all good to go. But you heard that sound. The battle bus is ready. Six games here. Championship Sunday. After this, we will know who the new global champions are. It’s game time. Good night. Come on. Cool. He got foreign. Yes. Give me Mic [ __ ] Wait. Okay. up9. I get it. Nice. Jump on it. Jump on it. Yeah. Jump. Put it on. All right. Okay. What’s Hide. Okay. Okay. Shut the heck up. Is it going to hide? She got city hide hide hide city. Hey, hide. Don’t mind. He’s enemy. He’s enemy. All right. I just get there. Oh, it’s going Yeah, you Yellow. Okay. for Go go go go go go. Wait, wait, wait. Chill. Nice. Jump out. Jump out. Thank you. What’s there? Really? Yeah. Okay. Get [ __ ] Nice work. Nice. Nice. Nice. He dunks on him from above to get the siphon, but the same can’t be said for Curly. He has no siphon to profit off of just yet. They’re going to have to find another elimination. They’re going to have to find it now. Adapter has fallen. Cooper and Curley just continuing to make something out of nothing here. But Balor, that surge stick is just destroying him. The shield crack goes off yet again. He’s using every single bit of healing resources he has and it’s still likely not going to be enough. Yeah, like I said, the shield’s cracked. That’s a giveaway for Curly Cooper and immediately turned around tried to land shots. Aller’s doing just that and he barely gets himself above that damage threshold and he knows he cannot go back for his teammates reboots card. This is a solo journey from here on out for him and he does some good damage yet again. Will he pick up the elimination? We’ll wait and see. But Pixie, Vana, and Marius, you can see the zone just outside of OXR HQ. These guys have been smooth sailing so far in this game. Marius and Pixie being the top two players for shotgun damage and moving zone says enough, Jacob. These guys have been getting fraggy and they plan to continue their streak, especially with all the company that’s starting to dog pile around them. like you saw in the distance. Baka and I believe pars both going down looking to get cleaned up by Chap Savage and Reason. 410 damage above the threshold. Slapnab in the middle of the zone as well. Cold Ritual and Peterbot. I was talking to them before today. They didn’t have too many game plans other than just play better. They know their performance yesterday was abysmal. And that’s just a huge fire underneath their belt to do just that and have a good comeback as Gino’s just fighting on the other side. That’s Anan all the way from OCE, but his teammates are coming in. Backup has arrived. Gino’s getting pushed back further and further. Resigns starting to feel that confidence, but there’s too many players all around for Doxy surprising resign catching him off guard. Multiple players trying to push in, but for making sure to save the day. Down goes resigns and up goes their chances to win this fight. Just look at the way that Foroxy and Chino played this box fight though. So many separate angles opened up at once. Resigns HP just disappeared. Fory and Chino still looking to try and hold things down too here, Jacob. They’re fully aware of the fact that they’ve done enough to at least push Oshi back temporarily, but that’s not to say that it has had the same effect on the Polish counterparts directly next to where they’re located. They do have that extra med kit down below just in case. Renan, Alex, they’re trying to come back for revenge. Chino is going to be the first one to go down. Wellplaced shot by Alex. He had all the power behind that one, forcing to try to back up and get the revive. The audio visual is coming out for trying to reposition. He has to let the cone go. He has to let his teammate go down. That one’s quickly cleaned up, but that doesn’t mean he has to stop fighting back with two versus one in this situation. and him being slightly on the edge of zone. If not out, he has to start getting information that is vital to his success. And even one more team going down, he’ll start to get placement points on top. The problem as a solo though is that there’s only so many directions you can look at once. And overhead, Swizzy, Machez, they’re already starting to break through. You saw that first knock take place right now for Swizzy. And he’s still after another ritual. Peterbot. They don’t even realize they’re being shot from underneath, but it’s actually Sphinx who’s taking down Peterbot in this lobby. Shadow from behind. Never sees it coming. Swizzy’s got that elimination. And M trying to save his teammates’s life. But can the double revive actually come to fruition with Swizzy applying so much pressure? Yeah, multiple players and he has that exotic which is so much damage just tearing through those builds. But you can see as soon as the zone pulled on over, they kind of brought themselves back. Probably queasy making the call. We have to start to rotate. This zone is vital for our success. If we can get high ground here, that could be our fourth game win. But one team’s having an easy game. Yamzo and Clicks with one of them being down. Yamo’s trying to get him back up. They have one crash pad left in their inventory. Six flashes for the HP if they need it. Some Flowberry Fizz, but it is a far pull for a duo to have. Little bit sad there for her stash. He really wanted to see if he could get a good chunk out of Acorn, a poo on that rotate, but crash pads are out along with the flowberry fizz. Yamzo’s immediately going to try to claim a position towards the front side, but holds back for a second here. Little bit split from Flicks. Flicks going to build right back up for his teammates at he needs some of these chuck splashes, but of course another rotate. There is no time to stop, especially with Queasy Swizzy and her stash right back at home base on the high ground. That happened so fast you blinked, you might have missed it because now they’re the whole another team on top. They’re getting battled out, chopped down even once, but the consistency for them to remain in the clouds is absolutely amazing. Squizzy, mustache, and Queezy making it look easy down below. Everybody is at their disposal and this is where we know what they do. They just target out second height over and over and over. They reconnect along the way. So teams are going to have to think of something different here compared to yesterday. Savage chef and reason seem like they’re a little bit more intent on just trying to stake out these front side rotations. But for clicks and Yamzo, it’s likely going to be a backside of zone play. They’re going to have to find a refresh. They have hardly any materials to work with. The Yamzo doing what he can to drop whatever builds he can for clicks, but there’s nowhere safe to tarp out through inside of these lower layers. Everybody is frazzled here. Yako, Panther, and Si also in a very strong top three position. They want to hold on to it, Jacob. They don’t want to let it go. They work way too hard to get this far to go down here in 15th place. Storm Surge still active, forcing players to fight one another even though they have to rotate to the zone. They’re trying to keep their third play spot intact. They’re only eight points behind as we stand in this game. But Mustache, Squeezy, and Quizy are just double tarping, making sure to reinforce, but Veno, they’re are trying to look up. At one point or another, maybe two zones ago, they were the team on high ground, but it got stolen away. They’re ready to battle it out. M8 versus M8 as PO’s ready to take on the competition. But towards the backside of zone, they chop it all down. Squeezy, he saw that one coming from a mile away. That’s exactly why they had Mach over ahead. Still looking to try and build things out here, but Swizzy blocking off ACOR so professionally. Everybody’s been chopped up. They’re all falling down. A has been eliminated. Poyo and Aort trying to go right back up on the height, but it’s Baluka. It’s Lux. It’s Ping. They’re the ones that have fully overthrown the high ground. They’re the ones that are ready to find their first victory royale. Mustache Queasy still has a duo, but they’re still holding that first place spot. Kannata is going to go down. Only three of the teams in our top five still alive. Mustache Quasy, they’re trying to be heroes, but Queezy now only takes a big shot. He loses Swizzy across the way. Mustache has to figure out a way to reunite into the same box. They do that very, very quickly, but it’s not going to matter. Quezy goes down. Rest gets the elimination, but he’s all by himself. The family sacrifice might have been everything that they needed though. R Stash T being like a madman just trying to block off every possible angle. He knows there might be an opening. A teammate underneath that’s just so much worse off than he currently is. But instead, it’s both Kannata and Rapid. He’s looking to play spoilers, but he can’t get enough damage applied. for Stash still somehow someway tarping through this middle layer and nobody seems to be cutting him off just yet but he’s running out of material and Malabuka watch from overhead they’ve lost Bing Bing thought that he could take out Darm in the process instead he loses his own life somehow rapid Canada both all still alive on the low ground even with both going down they got the front side of zone and a chance to get the revive a couple eliminations being cleaned up trying to stay alive Malabuka and Walk still on high ground raining a fire down from above. They get that knock on the Katana and you see the bow fizz coming out. They’re getting ready. The inevitability, the drop down from above. It comes in. Katana gets cleaned up. The siphon comes into play. Walks is doing damage. Malabuka is causing pain. Walks and Malabuka. They might just be able to do it. Ch not going to be able to withstand the pressure here. Malabuka with a huge cleanup shot. W now just needs to seal this one out. And just like that, Malibuka and Watts, they take down Pixie. And that’s going to be the first victory royale here in game seven. A night and day difference when it comes to how these end games played out yesterday. Not a single team looked up. Today, one, two, three or more teams try to fight for it. And it’s battle of Watson that took it all. Frankie, let’s get you up on your feet. Your fans want to see you. The Havoc fans, what does he want? The mate, what does he and Malabuka? Malibuka. Just one question really from me. What took you so long? I don’t know. We were not sure what to do for our day, but maybe we’ll figure out something today. We’ve definitely figured something out. You managed to take the high ground from the high ground kings led by Quezine. Was this something you worked on managing to take high ground from the top spot? I mean, it was free high ground that game, so we just commit. So, do you have the Americans to thank for taking it first and and chopping the boys on top? Uh, no. We just just everyone. So why would why would you I’m going to actually head over to W. Do you have a word for this crowd that are supporting you and your teammates? Yeah, I appreciate to you guys coming out supporting us and watching us play. It means the world. Um hopefully we’ll be able to clutch up and come back today. And do you think you’ll keep the constituency now that you start the day with an amazing victory royal? Do you think you’ll do you think you’ll keep your consistency? Yeah, of course. Um, if we just get some good soils, I think we’ll be able to win this day and come back. Malibuka, just before I let you get ready for the next game, have you got anything you’d like to say to the gentle mates? May win. And the gentle mates are on their feet and I think they’re probably going to be there for the entirety of this outbreak. I am. Hey Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Do you get scared or do you feel lost? I can smell fear. I’ve been there before, but you made it through the storm again. You did it on your own again. Goosebumps in your skin. Do you feel what I feel? I’m waiting on you to notice that you got what you want. We don’t got time to cry right now. Only got time to focus. Two hits on a dangerous. Take a shot, leave it faceless. I was armed and dangerous on a whole different level. I can see why they hate. I was armed and dangerous. I was armed and dangerous. You should have noticed I’ been focused. You should have known like you should have noticed. I’ been focused. You should al like that. You better watch your back cuz we aiming at your head. I don’t need a pick me up and I don’t need a rest. Knock down top down. Pull up with the trio and my eyes on the three of us with us. Everybody screaming like us. us. Hey Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Heat. Heat. Hey, hey, hey. Heat. Heat. Beautiful. What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the Fortnite Global Championship. This is day number two, game seven, the first of the day. Malabuka ping walks get a victory royale. They take away high ground from Queezy. We’ve only seen some attempt that incredible task so many times. But in game number one of the day to start things off, Malibuka sends it. I can’t believe it is even possible. Right, we talked about how secure we thought Quasy was. as soon as he was able to get up on the high ground. I can’t lie though, it kind of felt like it was the team effort, right? Multiple teams kind of going for it. At the end of the day though, Malibuka walks and ping. They were the ones that waited for the exact right moment. And oh my gosh, man. Malibuka got to the high ground. He quickly was like, “No, no, no, no. I don’t want to be up here. I want to get in the mix. I know I need these eliminations to soar up the leaderboard.” Yeah. And what was crucial about this height take, of course, we saw Quez on right at the beginning of that end game. Then we saw Acorn’s team going up to try and take it. They actually were successful in the height take. The crucial thing that actually ended up allowing Malibuka to take height was that zone pulled back. That 10 zone pulled back over all of the old builds that Quasi’s team ended up making. And then of course it allowed Malabuka to save all those materials that they would have expended by extending out. They could then use that to then take height. So really well played end game from these guys. More of the same needed. I think they made a few adjustments early game as well because things were going a little bit wrong for them at the beginning of the game yesterday. And this is what they can do when they make it to end game. So insane, man. I love that we’re starting to attack high ground, right? Like we know high ground wins games in some cases, wins tournaments. And now as we turn attention to those standings, look at this. This lead is not what it once was. Right now we’re starting to close up. We’re trying to just say Queezy, hold on a minute. Let’s not get crazy here. 570 points. Oh man. I mean, look, we still got a lot to do. We’re hoping to catch Quezy. Yeah. I mean, you know, you’re talking about it. the lead isn’t what it once was, but it like barely moved. I’m pretty sure 170 points. Still very, very comfortable for them. And this is kind of what Minnie was talking about as we were watching the game cuz he was like, “Yeah, I mean, you know, they’re down still potential for Mash to go ahead and solo clutch, but this is kind of the exact game they need. They don’t need to soar ahead. They just kind of need that pick up enough points to kind of fend off the competition.” Yeah, this is technically their worst game of the weekend, right? I think they got seventh in this game, but Oh, no. Wrap it up. Uh it’s but still it’s still a good game. They made it to end game. They took height. They did what they know how to do. Again, unfortunate as I mentioned at the beginning of the show, day two, people are going to go for height. So things are going to look a lot different. Maybe that’s now an adjustment to their play style. They might need to think, oh, maybe we need to go down play mid ground a little bit more, but it’s not bad for them. They’re still getting points. They’re still clutching when it matters. The result won’t show it. But I I just cannot believe how quick and decisive this team can like switch strategy on a dime. We saw them on the higher ground, right? Acorns trio, they they crash padded up. It was they were instantly fighting for it. And I swear it was within literally like four or five seconds. The entire trio of queasies was shooting up and trying to break out Acorn’s trio to prevent them from actually. It was literally instant. So good. And that’s what makes Queezy such a great IGL. He has those things unlocked. Whether it’s to try and retake height, whether it’s to actually then drop down and try and take a different position. As long as you’re all doing the same thing, that’s what’s most important. When you get teams that are trying to split, one’s going up, two going down, it doesn’t work. Quez’s got that team really, really well prepped, understanding it’s my call, whether we go up, whether we go down, they’re all on the same page. And I kind of talked about it, right? They they defended it. They defended against the take from Acorn. Unfortunately, Malibu trio just way too aware of what was going up on the high ground. They kind of joined in on the fight like, “Hey, listen. You guys can keep fighting. We’ll take the height.” That is crazy. We have a listen in from that last game. Let’s see how things were going for Quezy. Watch out tonight. Wait. Take it. You take it. 100. I have it. I’m going to jump. Chop it. Chop it. Chop. No. Chop it. Choppy. Choppy. Choppy. Chop. Chop. Chop. Chop. I’m coming. I’m I’m dead. I’m dead. I think you got chopped. You got dropped again. Fine. Can it come to me? One. One. One. One side. Okay. I’m up. I’m up. I’m up. You guys need calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. I have 10, guys. 10 seconds. I have sickness. I have sickness. I have sickness. Go. Okay. I’m dead. I’m dead. I’m dead. I’m dead. You’re good. Can you I don’t have five. I’m chugging. Behind you. Yeah. Get it. Go up. Go up. Go on. Wow. Crazy stuff there. Hope you guys at home could hear it cuz I sure couldn’t. This crowd is going crazy. They stand behind Quezy. Okay. They know who they want to champion. They know who they want to win. Man, oh man. But for again for the trio, right, to be in this kind of situation, I love those adaptations. I’m almost curious, right? Now that they had someone contest them, now I almost wonder what are they thinking going to this next game, right? How what kind of little micro adjustments are we going to make to make sure that doesn’t happen again? Yeah, in this scenario, I would not want to be queasy, right? Cuz he’s kind of got to be the guy that decides that for his trio. Hey, listen. Do we kind of give up on the whole high ground thing? Obviously, that is our best strategy, but you know, we’re kind of have this comfortable lead to where if we kind of just played mid ground or low ground and make sure that we pick up, you know, a decent placement every single game, we’ll still hold on to the lead or they just play what they know. It’s these moments where champions are made, right? When things aren’t quite going your way, when something happens that you didn’t expect, how do you adapt to that? How do you adjust what’s been working so so well for you to have the courage to say, “Right, you know what? Let’s change up what we’re doing. Let’s maybe loot in a different area. Let’s try and look at other teams from Storm Surge early on cuz it looked like they were a little bit lower down than we’ve seen them in previous games. Maybe we change the way that we play our end games. That courage is what makes champions champions. That is crazy. You know, yeah, you have that comfortability. How do you say, look, we have to break what we know. If we want to be champions, maybe that’s the answer. Let’s go back to these standings, though, and start taking a look at the second page and see kind of where things are going. Wanted to highlight here, Mr. Savage showing up here in this final uh end game, having a good game. We still need work, right? There’s still work to be done, but having, you know, starting to kind of pick up steam, starting to pick up momentum with five games more to go. I’m excited to see what else they bring. I’m actually kind of surprised they didn’t move at all from 11th, right? They were in the mix throwing that end game right there. I think it was Mr. Savage from the trio who took some of the splashes out into the storm early on to make sure that they ended up clutching up. I mean, it’s great to see them in the mix. Obviously, you know, making it to the end game pretty often, but 11th place, they seem to be kind of stuck to that position on the leaderboard right now. Yeah. And I think that just speaks to how high quality these end games are, right? They’re very topheavy end games. Lots of our teams that are doing well already are making end games and still doing well. So, it’s very tough for the teams that are a little bit lower down to sort of break into that upper echelon of placement. But if they keep the consistency going, if Savage can keep clutching up like this, keeping having having that IQ that we know he has, just to be able to have that experience, that understanding of the game to sit back into the storm, try and farm out as many placements as possible. They can try and mount an attack here on the top 10. I mean, yeah, look at that. Top five with eight eliminations. Insane work from them. Obviously, the clutch kind of coming in and they just don’t move on the leaderboard, man. Yeah, it’s just so tough out there. You know what’s crazy, too? Think about this year, right? Mr. Savage comes in. He’s like, “Guys eyes, wiping my hands. I’m out competitive.” And then here we are on a global stage putting on this performance. I’m interested to see whether this can sort of reignite that that that sort of love that he has for the game, right? The the the grind factor that he has, his his burning passion, desire to want to win an FNCS because I really hope it does. I think this is a great opportunity for him. You know, they’re not doing bad. They’re in 11th place. They just came off the back of a really good game. They have the firepower. We’ve seen them performing very well in the end game as well. Maybe this is a sort of a beam of hope if you like for him for going forward. And I we want to see him. Everyone in EU, we all love him. We were all very sad when he announced that he was retiring, but very happy when he came back. And now he’s here. What a story. Oh my gosh. Also, we can’t forget Clicks as well, right? NA, he’s coming back. Don’t even worry about it. He’s putting on a show for us here again though, the job is not done, right? We do have five more games, but five is going to dry up so quickly, Vivid. So for not only Kix’s trio, but for every other trio, we really need to make sure our strategy is locked tight. I felt like yesterday I was almost begging for a game from Kix’s trio here to just please make it to the endame as a healthy trio. You know, give them an opportunity, give yourselves an opportunity to show your game plan, show how good you are, show how good of a year you’ve had over on the NAC region. But again, right there, game number seven, a whole nights of rest, opportunity to go over it. Higs is down early. Yeah, it’s tough. I mean, it’s not the ideal start for them. They’ve made it to the end game, which they’ve been doing quite consistently well so far. They’re not in a bad position by any means. And I think they just need that one big game. Ideally, sooner the better, right? Because they’re a team that does thrive on hype. I know Clicks is, you know, one of the biggest streamers, if not the biggest streamer in Fortnite. He lives off of the people watching him. He wants to be in the spotlight. He wants to have that moment to himself. And that could almost catapult them. That could give them that confidence, instill that confidence back in them for the rest of the games. For them, they’ve just got to try and make something happen in the end game more. So, as you said, stay as a trio, make something happen, and hopefully feed off of that that hype and confidence. Maybe that’s a VR and getting rallied by like the crowd, right? Like having them to push you over the line to kind of start to build that momentum. But I like what you pulled out, the sooner the better, right? And it’s not even just them, it’s everyone, right? These little strategies with only five games, guys. It’s only five games. If we’re going to try and pull out some kind of strategy, if we’re going to try and swap our drop spot to land on someone else, it has to happen now, right? Like, if we’re not in this top 10, we got to get ourselves in there. I mean, the best time to do it would have been last game, but the best time is now, right? This is the time to switch things up. I think this is an important moment for the teams, right? They’ve had a little feel as to what the lobby’s looking like, what teams are doing around them, which is so so crucial to the surge meta. So, now they can really make those adaptations. It’s all well and good looking back at the games from yesterday. It’s a completely different day. Everyone’s doing different things. Yeah. And that touch on a last couple of few points here from that game specifically, right? We even saw Veno. He was kind of up on the high ground. He was kind of, you know, touring with the idea that he could maybe take it from like eighth zone. I saw kind of build up for it and actually end up like fighting for it or trying to defend it. But hey, listen, they were kind of thinking about it and then obviously Kennady’s trio finding themselves in the mix towards the end game as well. M guys, I you know I love breaking down things between the games, but I’m getting word it is almost that time to kick back into all of Never mind. That’s the battle bus. So you know what time it is. Game eight starts now. Okay. Okay. Did you take a Y Wake Okay. I don’t know. 5 seconds. Second, outside. Yeah. Open. Check out. One more check out. Let’s Wait, wait, wait. foreign. Shoot. Okay. One Get sunny. Say sure. What? Nice. Tot. Nice. Get it. Get it. Getting a little bit too aggressive playing as individuals. And we do see them kind of stuck as duos this game around. I want to see a change up. I want to see no matter what happens, right or wrong play, they stick as a full trio because when you do that, sometimes miracles can happen. But you’re seeing kind of one side, the north side of the map kind of getting a little aggressive. Teams just trying to push each other in order to get their storm surge on the south side of the map with the zone pulling over in this direction. This is where you’re going to see more and more of those surge bases set up. A lot more time to acrew some damage, a lot more flexibility here. Hanza, big weekend for him and he’s delivering so far. He’s with two experienced land players, but he’s shown that he can hold his own. Si isn’t a fan favorite. The crowd aren’t loving Seti, but Seti is used to not being the favorite. He’s used to people doubting him, so he won’t let that bother him too much. Over here, the zones kind of kind of favoring them out of all three trios that are in this direction, but shots continue to pour in. And doesn’t even look like he knew exactly where those shots came from. And look, I I fully understand that Peterbot, Rich, and Cole, these guys are such prominent players on their region and just considered top players overall. But even still, there’s only so many drops that you could actually practice efficiently, and that has been a real thorn in their sides throughout this weekend. Oh no, the classic. They drop down the surge base. And with that ball damage, that’s easy surge for them. It’s raining blue and a chance for them to come back. That is so sweet. Not for paper. an epic whale, but one team’s slip up a little bit caught lacking. That’s exactly what the adaptations you have to kind of anticipate heading into a day two format. So on the feed, Grizz going from that to getting another knock around the map. Panata bolts rapid. They haven’t had to move far from their actual initial drop spot. You see them saving the cher truck down below for those extra heals. Seeing Rapid just kind of eye out the land right now. He is the IGL for the teams trying to figure out where players are currently at deep into the zone and where they need to start to rotate to so they have the least congestion. And in the background, Queezy, Swizzy, Mustache, that’s a team that you got to think that Kannata just spotted out. And you know what they’re looking for, Taco 11? They’re looking for that bunker. They want it, but are they going to actually be able to grab it with Kannata bolts and rap it so close by? He pressed to believe are pressed to believe that Kannata would let that one go for free. Senario for his teammates, but picks Deus arm. They’ve just been playing their own methods and it’s worked out heavily for them. Team with such little experience, but you could never tell from watching them in the lobby. set game plan, set structure, and excellent execution. The young poles continue to make their mark on this lobby, but there is still plenty to do. Acorn and Ages have plenty to do here for going to have to be picked up. somewhere along the way they might be able to find him but if they aren’t able to bring him back a lot it’s basically an uphill battle for Acorn and Asurers first dash Swizzy and Quezy though they’re still able to make their way towards the bunker so rapid bolts probably thinking better not really willing to get caught up in this instance but maybe they choose to wait outside maybe it’s somebody else entirely that might be looking to shuty down. There’s very few teams, Lean, that can even access this vault this early on in the game. So even there, they’re not that close to another. They have to rotate towards that OXR HQ. They have to rotate towards the south. So Vana and Marius and Pixie, they’re going to be able to kind of see Machizzy and Quizzy. If they’ve memorized their outfits throughout the course of the game, they’re definitely going to get that 100% confirmation and a chance to take them down if they’re going to take it. Yeah, absolutely. You know, that’s something Vana will keep track of. So, we’ll see if that ends up leading to a clash between the two teams. It’s something Vana predicted would happen. He said he wants to play for height today. We’ll see if he’s a man of his word for reason. Chap and Mr. Savage, they’ve done incredibly well at times throughout this competition, but speaking to Mr. Savage yesterday, he said, “Hey, I feel like we can do even better. We got another gear to go out.” Yeah. multiple games yesterday inside of the top six. Can you imagine going from, “Hey, I’m done with Fortnite to a chance to win even more money, continue to build your legacy.” And for someone like Chap, he’s a young, you know what I mean? He’s still earning his stride, earning his respect, and he’s doing it in such a good fashion. Their road through major three to get that qualification spot showing up big in day one. And now they got to lurk onto Sphinx, Muzz, and Shadow waiting for the countdown. 3 2 1 Sphinx goes down. Reasons [ __ ] Savage, they’re ready to start this fight. That’s going to get cleaned up with ease, but instead of running away, they realize with a 3v2, it’s now or never. They need the points if they want to climb that leaderboard. Freezing, Chap, and Savage, they’re trying to be as quick as possible. They don’t want to allow the opportunity for Muz or Shadow to escape, but they’re just not fast enough. Chap, Freez, Mr. Savage, they’re going to have to be content with the body loot off of Sphinx alone, but Chap still seeing if he can try and pull out a little bit more here. Good tags into Shadow’s HP bar. They’ve got Muzz a little bit cornered, but Chap reason Mr. Savage, this is all that they want. They’re stuck just outside Edge’s zone and they know if they clear out Muzz and Shadow, they’re going to have free rotation pack with nobody left behind them. See Reason, his instincts are to make plays happen. You don’t want to be too ambitious. Don’t want to give them any room to put your team in a bad situation. Mrs. Savage taking a big chunk of damage and that will slow things down just a moment. And again, they did well to get the first. Of course, they want even more out of this. They know these guys are going to be weak. These guys are going to be on the back foot. So, they’ll continue to pressure, but let’s not make any mistakes here, boys. Yeah, they’re out of zone. They’re kind of thinking not too many teams even hear the noise, but get away and scarf, but they definitely do. And they’re moving in. But Huzz goes down. Chap trying to finish this fight. And they do. So Savage takes down Shadow, but the third party is now making it hard for them to survive. That’s the way to do it. You saw Savage Chap both shotguns in hand playing together, taking advantage of the man advantage. And now that puts them in a much more favorable position. Well played from Chap Savage and Reason. Not the same story though for Clicks. visuals braze and diminish since it didn’t work out at Rangers Ruin. They’re going to have to find that surge elsewhere. And unfortunately, it’s only Clicks last man standing from his team and just being absolutely battered. There’s no way he’s going to be able to withstand the pressure of Braves. Visual diminish coming out on top. Not every day you see teams carrying away that minigun just to melt through those builds. You’re not going to be able to hold the box at all. But this is exactly how that fight started. A lur play coming out of a minute. He dropped a mini shed on Hake’s head and they went in and cleaned up that last elimination onto Clicks. And you can see the frustration on Kix’s face when he went down. Such a frustrating way to get out of this game. They’ll have to hit the drawing board. Malabuka walks paying. All it takes is a quick panover and M8 is going to send a surging roar through this arena. That has got to be such an amazing feeling. But saw a glimpse of Mustache just now. And this could be trouble brewing for both of these teams. Yeah. And you know, Tackle, you’ll know better than anyone else commentating over this trio this year. They’re so good when it comes to momentum. They pick up that first win. They keep things rolling. This game will be a big sign of whether or not these guys are really here to play in this competition or whether it was a one hit wonder. Especially after that game, seven win in such a commanding fashion, too. But that’s the game play that we were almost expecting to see in day one, but as long as they manage to capture that kind of performance in this secondary day. There might not be a point amplifier, but there’s still plenty of opportunity to catch up on some positioning in the leaderboard. Yeah, I’m always saying you got to leave no regrets behind when you play on such a big stage like this with a huge lifechanging amount of money. And I think yesterday some teams may have played just a little bit too safe compared to how they played during the majors to qualify for this global championship. Being able to go back last night vod review and really figure out what was going wrong. You’re seeing a more aggressive pace coming out from some of these teams. Not exactly every step of the way, but when they get a key knock, when they get some good damage, they’re now starting to play more and more aggressive. And most importantly so more and more teams just like Pooyo, Agers, and Acorn that we see here are willing to contest that high ground in the later portions of this game. Gentle mates will certainly be happy to see Fooyo back up and in the running, but you have to wonder, Lean, what does their surge actually look like? They seemed a bit desperate there trying to find some additional surge trades with Agers, Acorn, and Poo. But it’s the backdrop pressure. Id drop catching Acorn completely off guard. But there’s such a direct path that they have to take into zone. They can’t sit outside any longer and it’s just making them too prone to being picked off in the process. This is going to be a tough game to fight your way back into. So many of our teams here just set up so well. Everything looking incredibly cozy for Deish Arman picks right now. And they’ll continue to pressure some of the teams looking to make their way on into that safe zone. Just got to let it sit and appreciate it after all. But boyo, gentle mates, they can hear everything surrounding them. But Pooyo, he’s going to look to try and close in off the surge base again. Desperation factoring in heavily. 500 below. They’ve got to get damage online. They’ve got to do it ASAP before they find themselves being taken out of this lobby entirely. Puyo Ages scrambling, but it’s not enough. They can’t stand tall. Cammy, Hardy, and Eyrop now benefiting exclusively from those siphon materials. Cammy could smell the desperation on those guys. And they capitalize. Unfortunately, it was always going to be an uphill battle for Hoyo and his trio. That was a tough tough game, but there’s still a couple more for them to get back in it. Cam though looking much better off after being able to pick up some of them cipher mans. Yeah, and it was actually Eyrop who got that initial knock and elimination onto Acorn, leaving them that far below the damage threshold. But now the zone pulling up over towards the north. This is a good zone for the majority of the lobby. There’s not too many different elevation changes, especially drastic ones at bat. It’s just as long as it doesn’t pull towards the west. That’s what the entire lobby has to be hoping for right now, including pings, blocks, and Malibuka. From high ground, victory royale in that last game to low ground for now. But this is exactly kind of the same pace they were taking. It wasn’t until zone 10, maybe even nine, that they actually went up for that high ground and held it for the rest of the game. But you’re seeing some teams above the damage threshold with their eliminations. But for eliminations though, Veno, Vico, and Fitzy, they’re 178 below the damage threshold. They know they have their work cut out for them and getting focused outside of the lobby, making it hard for them to find their way in without burning through these materials. They’ve at least got an ample amount of mats though, so they’re not too pressed just yet. But they’re going to have to start to kick things into this overdrive because Mo, Flixie, Veno, they’re still sitting underneath that damage threshold. They got Oceanana directly next to them. This is the first fight they can find. This is the first fight they’re going to take. Anon immediately beamed, thrown back. That’s all the damage that they needed. Just barely pushing them above the threshold line. Those are the fights that they strive for. Those are the fights that they are so effective in. We’ve seen it all year long. They’ll find themselves in tough situations like that and preeit their way out of it. 511 damage here. Kannata bolts in rapid. They had a fantastic game number one. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to pick up that BR like Kannata said to start the day, but they’re here again with another opportunity with Rapid and Bolts by his side. his IGL, his Fragger. That’s a lot of confidence that’s continuing to brew in that trio. Same here for Pixar and Deus. I said underdogs to top dogs. Lean, this team is probably one of the biggest surprise in EU, right? Yeah, these guys have been phenomenal. We’ve highlighted it so much, but this is another example of a game where they’re playing at their own pace. Excellent timings. I know when we’ve spoken to coach Sven, he’s always talked about the preparation of these guys being so important. They understand how to play this lobby. And again, this looks like a game where we will probably see them in that top five, top four towards the end. Marius, they want this. They’re starting to get a little bit of posturing now. Fin. They’re ready to maybe try and make that approach towards holding height, but it’s still very early. Is this a brand new hype game? Are we finally getting to see it here online? We finally got a chance here. 411 points. These are the ones that are essentially hot on the heels of that first place team. They’re building out, looking for opportunities to reconnect. You see Marius focusing down that second item. It may not be an AR, but the damage is still there. But Fixie and Feno, they both go down. Bo still 59 below the damage threshold. He does have minis. He does have some big even a med. But the miracle thing is that storm surge is going to turn off. It’s going to reactivate later on this game, but at least he knows where he stands. But they were just constantly teeter tottering for far too long on that third threshold. Mr. Savage in a very similar position. He’s just trying to get out of the low ground, but he won’t get the chance. Chap falls directly after him. And that’s going to be a little bit of open ground now for somebody else to try and roll through in this ultimate lower here. But still, Swizzy, Stash, Twezy, they are plotting for that height take. Yeah, it’s never a good sign when you see a team fighting on zone transition. You want to be ready to rotate. These guys are queasy scouting out the rotate. Where can he find an angle to use that crash pad? Going to have to create more space to do it. That one’s going to be easy. Gets to the other side with ease. He’s not even distracted by the other players in his path. He knows get to the front side of zone. Control the pace, control the tempo, worry about it later. And there is very few players next to him on that side. Cammy, I drop hottie going to be one of them. But on the high ground, there’s not been very many teams that can contest them. Pixie, Marius, Vana. This could be their chance to get that BR. And they get another elimination on the pump. Can they clean it up though? I like this from Vik though. Still just out of sight, out of mind. But he might be able to make a huge play if he can find another elimination. Said no. Vo jumped on first. That’s going to be the dream ending here in game eight for Veno’s team. But Alex resigns. They’ve just got a little bit more time, a little bit of an extension here. They’re going to take the crash pad front side zone. But lower layers have already established themselves. They’ve got to be careful of not getting chopped out. Pixie darn Deus waiting to the last second. Crash patty to the front side of zone. Squizzy mustache. Weezy. They have the materials. They did not play for the high ground. They’re okay being down low in the dirt. They know they’re the most dangerous team at this event, especially if you run into them. Cana bolts rapid scramming around trying to heal up. The splash is coming out, but that’s the last of the white heels that Kanata has in his inventory. up above. There’s a team trying to put pressure down. You see them scrambling and forcing them to split up momentarily. Respect though from Quezy to still make the commitment towards the low ground. Meanwhile, Bolts Canado Rapid just doing everything they can to try and keep themselves up and in the running here, but Cammy, they’re still looking to break through. They recognize there’s an opportunity here versus a team that might be weak, but they’re shooting into a box that nobody’s even inside. Goes to the south. They got lots to figure out. Swizzy Quezy now as a duo. We’ve seen them dominate from the skies, but how good can you guys take it? Swizzy wants it. Looks to chop. Pixie, Marius, Van, they’ve held on well for now, but this is the hard part. Can they continue to hold on as the 11th zone ends? See the double pump coming out from Marius. That’s not going to deal a ton of damage or even pressure. Marius is dropping down along with Pixie staying to the backside of zone. They’re making sure nobody can flank him as Bolts takes down Cammy. He is a solo champion on land before in third parties. is looking to have a masterclass performance here. 600 points. Swizzy is just trying to keep them going across that finish line. Scrambling in and outside of the zone. The slurp juice just a little too late. He just can’t do it. Storm sickness coming into effect. They spent so much time outside of the zone. But now Watts trouble on the high ground here for Ba Boo. Watts still trying to see if he can come and be it for himself. Going to have to use the Flowberry Fizz. Probably only a matter of seconds before he might get chopped down or force the drop and enter the fight down below. Paneri and Yapo 11. They’re so healthy. Yako, they’re looking strong, but can they close it out on the low ground? Deish will fall. And so now Seti, Kanza, Yako looking to remind the rest of the competition that they are in it for the win. W has no more HP to hold on. The tree will be the only thing stopping it. They just need to connect with the final shot and the storm will do the job. They are the favorites. But right now in Leon, you must give them respect. They win game number seven. Si Yco and Panzer. I started the day saying just a few big games away from that top spot. Frankie, they’re just a few games away. On your feet, boys. On your feet, STI. It felt like it was just a matter of time before you got your victory royale of the 2025 Fortnite Global Championships. How did you manage to do it from the low ground? I mean, I just have the best teammates and we have very good chemistry, so it just works. But the chemistry has come so quickly for you guys. Yapo coming back. We talked about it earlier from North America to Europe. Why do you think Europe is so successful here in Lyon? I don’t know. We’re just crazy. You are crazy. Absolutely. Congratulations for this first victory. Royal this victory is the beginning of a of a lot of victory. Do you think do you think you have more victory now that you started? Yeah, I think so. So, how will you manage to have more victories now and to keep going on this? I mean, we just maybe found the secret right now. So, we’re just going to keep trying the same thing and uh going to see how it works. I think you’re enjoying this crowd. Yeah, I love them. It’s like a love hate relationship now. Well, I think I’m going to leave you to enjoy them a little more because we need to take a break. We’ll be back with game number nine. My magic magic. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Do you get scared or do you feel lost? I can smell fear. I’ve been there before. But you made it through the storm again. You did it on your own again. Goosebumps in your skin. Do you feel what I feel? I’m waiting on you. We don’t got time to cry right now. Two hits on a weight. I was armed and dangerous. Take a shot, leave me faceless. I was dead on a whole different level. I can see why they hating. I was all dead. I was all dead. You should have been focused. You should have known. You should have noticed I’ been focused. You should have known like that. Better watch your back cuz we aiming at your head. I don’t need to pick me up and I don’t need a rest. Knock down top down. Hit them in. Pull up with the trio and my eyes of us. Everybody screaming like us. Two hits on the weight. I was armed and dangerous. Take a shot, leave me faceless. I was all dead dangerous. On a whole different level. I can see why they hat. I was all dead. I was all dead. You should have been focused. You should have known like you should. Welcome back to the Fortnite Global Championship. Oh man, we’ve seen it. It happened. Si gets a victory royale in land. Unfortunately, the crowd, they boot SI. They don’t know him. They don’t respect him like that. They probably should, but still for Sedi and his trio. This is big, right? This is momentum, Kelly. I mean, this is huge. And honestly, I think all three of these tree or players deserve all the respect. Panzer coming in here never being in an land position and now coming out on top. But really what I want to talk about Leven watching this team zone 9 dead side rotate. Look at the congested side on the western side of that zone. Everyone was over there and they just kind of snuck by on that dead side. And when you see a deadside rotation, that’s usually earlier on the game. They did it so nine and they did it so cleanly and they kind of avoided all the other aggression on the low ground which allowed them to make it to the end game. And I mean those are the type of rotations that you know Seti has been synonymous with in his career right he’s always been able to execute those especially in late game scenarios. I think the big thing with this team is again they had such a strong start yesterday. A lot of people sort of would have looked at them and gone are they going to keep it going again today? Right? Can they can they really get a foothold in this competition setting right here? He’s here to stay. He won’t let that crowd affect him and that’s going to be a big game for them in the standings. You see them now securing a position in third place. Man, they are moving up, dude. But guys, look. Yeah, I mean 438 points if that was all you know that was the talk they’d be fine. But when we look at the top quezy merach swizzy 66 points it doesn’t matter what situation they’re in right they don’t need to be winning the game as long as they kind of hold on to that lead right keep buffering that as long as possible Kelly eventually that game is going to show up and they’re going to win that game and then that’s it. GG everybody else. It’s just so hard to really do anything to this trio when you look at their early and mid game and just how solid of a strategy they have. Obviously, the early game is just clean for them. They have no issues rotating into that bunker, making sure that they’re getting those heals and that metal. They’re able to take these early engagements and they just use their metal builds because they know in the bunker they’re going to be able to replenish all of that and and even in a surplus and then they rotate over. This was the first time though that I really saw them kind of controlling the front low ground of zone. And even in that position when they didn’t have what they needed for high ground, you see them. They’re still picking up. They’re still looking at high ground potentially as a duo to steal it. Nothing can slow this duo down. I mean, look, they’re always going to give it a scout. You know, you always got to give it a look. And I mean, look, think about it. If if they’re not up there, they got to be thinking whoever’s up there is not as good as us, right? We’re the best. So, if we’re not up there, maybe there’s a chance for us. I mean, look, these guys again, we’ve just been banging on about how good they are, but they continue to show us how dynamic they are as a trio. That’s right, man. I want to take more a look at more of these standings. Whoop! Just kidding. You heard it. Game is ready. We’re jumping back into all the action. Let’s go. Play by Masa. Okay. Get out. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Take it. Okay. secondh. One more. Okay. Sign up. Nice. Get up. Get up. Get up. Take it. Okay. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. physical Okay. Jump way. Nice. Coming. Okay. Get off the top. Hide. Yeah. So hide out. Hide. Hide. This target. Hide it up. You get the song. No wonder let’s go. Let’s go. Nice. Okay. Nice. Nice. Nice. Take it. Nice. Hey, yeah. I’ll take you. I’ll take it. Jump. Okay. What the What more He’s nice. Taco City. Let’s check. Okay. Okay. I get it. Careful. Careful. Careful. Okay. Got it. Got it. Got it. You guys know it. Okay. Okay. Nice. trying to stay alive and he does just that. Yamzo helping save the day and that’s the big part from this team cuz remember there was a moment yesterday they got a knock. They got an elimination on Kannata. Higs wanted to push over. He wanted to fight that fight 3v2. The rest of the team said nah nah nah let’s rotate in. These guys have come for a comeback. But Pablo he’s last man standing. Paper still looking to see if he can find him. Victor V right next to him. Pablo so deeply tucked away into a corner, but he doesn’t have a whole lot of options to escape here. Immediately charge in a paper. What a shot. He’s going to be put down into the dirt. Victor B is going to be able to revive him. A nice clutch by their fragger. But that was still intended. I love how they’re willing to fight the best of the best in the entire world. And that’s Victor V’s legacy. If y’all remember way way back when Arkham was even still playing Coney Crossroads, Victor B said, “This is my drop. I don’t care how many championships you have, Epic. I don’t know how many championships you have, Arkham. You’re going to have to go through me.” And it’s full circle. Now they’re on the same team. And that confidence for Victor B is at an all-time high. This is a much more familiar site though for Swizzy, Quezy, and Mustache. arguably their best loadouts at this point of the lobby so far here today. And Mustache, Swizzy, Queezy definitely still being very conscious of what surrounds them. School Aronal not too far behind, but Yamzo and Clicks, they’re forcing their way into these edges of zones and they just don’t have anything to work with. The last of their materials being expended. Yamzo even opting to try and fall further back hoping that the medm can buy him enough time but pump back baka pars they’re already in zone Jacob they’ll roll this for as long as they want. Yeah and since they’re already positioned in zone like you said it makes it easy decision for pars to kind of go by himself. He knows his teammates are watching his back to try to get that loop as fast as possible. Yamo knows they’re closing in on the distance. He’s trying to use his crash pads to escape, but you cannot escape NA West as they take down Clicks, Higs, and Yamzo. And their struggles continue just asking for way too much for Yamzo to wiggle his way out of that one. Even if it hadn’t been Baka, pars pump. You can see there’s still several other teams in the area that were bound to lobby focus that solo the moment that they spotted him out. Malibu walks ping though looking to get a little bit more active here trying to funnel teams around them. They want to see if they can make a play just to switch slightly higher up off the elevation. Utilize some of this natural map terrain, but they’re still holding teams back. They don’t want anybody rotating through them. Malibuka keeping a heavy eye out. Walks separate angle hold there too. But right now they’ve got a little bit more time to calm before the storm. I think that’s a little bit of an understatement the way some of these games have been going on, especially today where more and more teams are realizing the position that they are in on that leaderboard. They’re realizing one of the only ways to go back come back is actually contesting that high ground. Making sure Machy and Swizzy don’t continue to run away with a tournament. I mean doing the same thing. Him and Braves get active early on. They get another elimination on the mid as the arms just continue looking around. Every team that crash pads to the zone. They’re at least landing one, two, three crucial shots. Which is where you see the difference right there from Coyota, Yuma, and Rice is because they used a Flowberry Fizz with the crash pad to cover more ground, get higher up in the sky, and make it harder for them to get tagged up. Little bit of a look back into what went down with Brazil. Baser actually winning out, getting a good knock onto Cooper. And that’s going to leave a very difficult entry point for South Arc and School. They’re not even going to be able to push through. Just completely forced back. The interruption so steep. But up on heights, he’s been knocked. He never had a chance to close it off. He’s going to have to depend on Malabuka to get him back to safety. But they’re going to have to forfeit height here, Jacob. Another team bound to try and jump immediately onto them. But ping Malabuka somehow brought back without much of a challenge. And that is actually insanity to witness and surge underneath. That’s the real problem. It’s not just surge, it’s active surge on top of that. Alex and resigned. They’re trying to rotate away. They get some shots, but they’re still 16 below. Every seven or so seconds, 25 damage pours out, and you don’t get knocked. You get straight eliminated. Crash Pad, Flowberry, Fizz. They’re doing what they can to rotate towards the zone, but it’s Queezy. It’s Swizzy. It’s for Stash on the other side. M8 versus M8. Balofa has no choice. 128 below the damage threshold. Squeezy down. Swizzy. A sliver of HP. It’s all up to Mustache. But Mustache knows how to play it through as a solo. He can maybe clutch up big time here. He just needs a few more plate spins to continue in first place. Malabuka walks. Ping still underneath that surge threshold. They’re trying. They’re so desperate. Everybody around them knows it, too. They’re not trying to allow the opportunity to let these guys break through their builds. But rest is a solo. What more could you possibly do? He’s still buying points. He just needs players to fall around him. Feel like if anybody could start to make this clutch happen, Tim, they are above the damage threshold. But noy, no Swizzy. They’re not in this lobby. And that means a new team is able to claim that high ground. Pixie, Vana and Marius. Last time we seen them on this high ground, they weren’t able to confront. But this is a second chance for them. And this is a big chance because we’re still into the top 15. They have no eliminations for Mas, Swizzy, and Queezy. They only have two placements versus placement points. This is how you close the gap. They’re certain to have seen what that elimination feed looks like though. The Deus darn picks. Seeing them control the low ground comes as no real surprise, but they know they’ve got to keep a hold of that front side. They’re immediately going to start making their way towards it, but they still got to be careful. Height overhead. Vers Stash is a solo. He’ll be forced to drop the ultimate low. Malabuka creeping directly underneath him, but Vers Stash, he doesn’t realize it. He only has six builds. He’s trying to conserve as much as he possibly can. He’s just so quiet in the background. Yeah, he’s kind of waiting waiting for the zone to force him out. Let all these teams bypass him on this rotation and hopefully try to get some sort of a sneak attack. Peterbach Hold and Ritual still alive in this game as well. But their material count rather low. A lot of the teams being affected by the high ground and the pressure that they keep pouring down. But at least they’re 134 above the damage threshold when it comes to storm surge. I think they’re good from here on out. And even Pixie from up above getting another knock on to Coyota. Alex cleans that one up. So Luke going on over to him, but they’re just pressuring over and over and over. Whether it’s an AR, the double pump, they’re not letting any team look up. It’s an issue though. Anon Alex resigns from the low ground. They might be able to pick off Yuma, but they got to worry about Pixar and Deus who’ve essentially cut them off. They’ve completely surrounded Oceanana. They’re going to be the ones to overtake the front side of zone now. And with Darm leading the charge, spraying back next to Pump Bars and Baka, but no one dares to challenge Poland underneath. That was a good time to take him out. There are 12 placements worth of points still left. More than half still on the leaderboard. Resigns trying to go in. They lose Alex along the way underneath. They have to turn back. That’s Kannata. They’re wreaking havoc on the low ground. Resigns falls all the same. The whole team gets sent back to the lobby. Even Baka’s feeling it. Cars has to go on by himself. Vana’s taken down Peter. Nobody has had a chance to look up. They’re denying opportunity after opportunity. Marrith Pixie and Vana could go all the way without Acorn or Queezy in the lobby. We knew he was probably going to default to Vana instead. But darn Deus picks. They refuse to give it up. They’re still looking to bring this one home. Kannata has a solo. Mius with another elimination just carrying all of the resources back to his tarper. Vana down to his final couple of builds. But thanks to that refresh a little bit further. He can extend that hype take. Pixie thought he could maybe drop. He’s got Madius right next to him. They are causing so much catastrophe. But Pix Diamond Demons, that’s a fight they might be willing to take. I could count on one hand how many healthy teams are still left in this game. Kannata has no shot. He’s trying to get as many placements before he eventually does go down. Vana, I’m not sure what happened, but he gets knocked. Two players up on the high ground. Sphinx trying to battle back, but Pixie gets dropped. Marius falls as well. Picks Darm and Deis the underdogs are looking to take it all cuz they might be one of the only trios left in this lobby, but I spoke too soon. Darm goes down. They have to get the revive. They’re the only team on the low ground in the zone. Space and Shadow, they don’t have a chance. They can’t push through. They know they need to find a way to break open. But Storm, that’s a big shot. That’s all that they needed. Baser, last man standing on height. Pig still trying to see where’s his last player. He’s looking to chop out Baser. Whether or not Baser could even drop. Does he have the Blowberry Fizz? Will he fall before he gets the chance? He was hoping somebody else would deal with Poland, but Pix and Deus. This is it. Pagora raining through. Pigs Ste and Darn. Bring it home. From underdogs to top dogs. And with Quezy, Swizzy, and Mustache going down early. That shoots them straight up that leaderboard. They look like they have been here for years. Frankie, we need to know their secret. I don’t know what their secret is, but I have to say all year in Europe, we’ve been looking at Pig, Stal, and Deeus. This trio that seemingly came out of nowhere and have been impressing us ever since. I mean, this has been just an incredible event for you so far, Dom. Yeah, it was it was incredible to be honest. Like, I mean, it’s our first globers and we played this good. It’s it’s crazy. and tell me how you’ve worked on your game through the year because when we when we first saw you competing in major one as a trio, you were so aggressive and now you know know how to to not overaggress. You know how to play the game right through to its end. What have you learned along the way? I mean we worked with our coaches fans so like we learned a lot and uh what to do and what to not do. But he’s taught you very well. I have a huge question, but just before you have a lot of fans there. Do you have a word for them? I love you all. Thank you for support. Deus, playing in majors online is one thing, but how do you manage to achieve this success on land? We we played the game actually like the best we as we can like and we just won it. Do you think you can go even further and do the backto back? I’m sorry. Do you think you can win the next game too? We see in 20 minutes. No, we will see. You’re going to have a bit of a break and a welldeserved one. Please, Leon, have it fans, show your appreciation. Pit star deas, we have to take a bit of a break, but don’t go anywhere cuz in a few minutes, we’re going to assess what we’ve seen so far. Heat. Hey, heat. Hey, heat. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Do you get scared or do you feel lost? I can smell fear. I’ve been there before, but you made it through the storm again. You did it on your own again. Goosebumps in your skin. Do you feel what I feel? I’m waiting on you to notice that you got what you want. We don’t got time to cry right now. Only got time to focus. Two hits on a weight. I was armed and dangerous. Take a shot. Leave me faceless. I was dead and dangerous. On a whole different level. I can see why they hating. I was all dead dangerous. I was getting dangerous. You should have been focused. You should have known. You should have noticed I’ been focused. You should have known better cuz we aiming at your head. I don’t need a pick me up and I don’t need a rest. Knock down, top down, hit him in his leg. Pull up with the trio and my eyes are red. Everybody screaming like us. Believe in us. Two hits on the weight. I was armed and dangerous. Take a shot. Leave me faceless. I was all dead. On a whole different level. I can see why they hat. I was all dead. I was all dead. You should have noticed. You should have known. Fortnite fam, this game could not be crazier. Picks Deas Darm get a victory royale at the halfway point of the competition. Game number nine going their way. It is getting more and more chaotic, Kelly. I cannot believe with only three games left to go. It feels like in some ways we just started the competition. And in some ways, I wish we could just start over so we didn’t have to. This is game 12, then start over game 12. Like, just just keep doing that. I don’t want this to end. Well, speaking of starting over, I want to start over from day number one. Actually, the third game of that day, we saw picks Darm and Deus in a very similar position. They were low zone or low ground, making sure that they’re kind of taking some peaks, not really going on the aggressive like we’ve seen. Unfortunately though, the team that was on high ground was Quezy’s team. So although they weren’t able to get the victory royale in this game, to see or in that game to see them make just those tiny little adjustments, understand what they need to do to take down the high ground team and then come out on top. That’s what I love to see. I love watching these guys play Fortnite, you know, and I can say that for a lot of the teams in the lobby, but these three in particular, they just have a poise about their game, right? They don’t play like a lot of the other top teams who have been, you know, fighting at the top of the leaderboard play. These aren’t a team that are uber reliant on playing IG gun, but when they are on those mid and low layers, they are so devastating. You don’t want to be caught anywhere near them cuz Deish might hit you with a shot like that. Hicks might be waiting around the corner with a big one pump in hand. You know, Darm is always going to have something cooking. They are just so threatening on all fronts to do this against such huge names like Faser and all these other top trios that have had land experience for so long and this is their first land. I would never in a million years be able to guess that they would be able to handle the pressure like they are doing today. That is so well executed from them. And I’m sure like you got to think in that moment, they’ve just got to feel over the moon, right, to have that moment. Guys, we not only showed up and made it to land, we got a victory royale in land. The crowd was behind us. Incredible stuff. Up a placement now 498 points. They’re top three. Lean, there’s three games left of the global championship. And these three who are playing in their first ever global championship sit in third. Like that’s insane. Like for them to even be able to keep their composure. If they literally just stopped playing from here on out, it would be a successful tournament for these guys, right? But there’s more for them. There’s more to come. They’re going to keep fighting till the end. Dude, it’s so sick. Okay, we’re going to go back to those standings in just a moment. But first, just a reminder, we at the halfway point, which means we’ve let our players out. They’ve got to give them some time to calm down, collect themselves, prepare for the last half of today, and then we’ll get back into all the action as we turn attention back to the standings there. Dude, this these numbers are getting smaller and smaller, right? This is going to start coming down to the wire. I also wanted to note uh you know, Kannata, Rapid Bolt, not a big deal, but moving up a place. That’s right, NA. We’re getting closer to the top. Well, if we’re talking about closer to the top though, I got to look at Vana, Marius, and Pixie. last hope to make this a close competition against Quezy, Murach, and Swizzy. And honestly, if anyone can do it, it is this trio right here holding down at OXR, but making sure that any opportunity they can get to get on height, they’re going to take that away from Quezy. I’m very excited because these two teams have been involved throughout the year in EU of writing the story of FNCS Majors. And I trust these two to write a good ending here today. Quezy’s trio didn’t have the best of games. said going into the halftime show. It was a great opportunity for Pixie, Marius, and Vana to start to close the gap. And although I think you could say they did a great job of taking that opportunity, there was more they could have definitely got out of that game that they’ll look back on maybe in regret moving forward. I do appreciate though, you can see that those mats are getting low. They understand that there’s still a lot of viable teams in the low ground there. So, they probably shouldn’t be able to hold an extreme height like we’ve seen other trios do. So, they drop down, try and get as many refreshes as they can. unfortunately didn’t go exactly their favor, but still I appreciate that effort. And the thing I loved, right, is obviously all the players came off the stage. Van walked past, still looking cool, calm, collected. He gave me a little cheeky smile. He’s like, “We’re coming.” That first place spot is not safe just yet, Queezy. Oh man. Well, you brought him up. We might as well talk about him, right? Quezy still in that number one spot, at least for now, right? Continuing to hold on. You know, again, I kind of talked about this earlier about a game or two ago, but the fact that we kind haven’t we haven’t seen them have that game yet today, right? Today, it’s kind of just, hey, let’s just kind of hold on. Let’s just stay the course. Let’s just make sure we’re kind of trying to minmax as much as we can with what we have. But Kelly, I feel like that game is coming, right? It’s so funny cuz, you know, we’re like, oh, this day, it’s not going that well for them. But they’re still making it to every single endgame. And even when M Stash was down as a solo player, he was playing so smart. Making sure that he was staying in the back of zone, making sure that he was staying in the mid ground to not deal with all that aggression going on the low ground, even when things aren’t going well for them, they’re still playing so smart. I agree. I agree. I think this is going to be an interesting sort of finish for them. Yesterday, I sort of described a lot of their games as looking very easy, right? It felt like they were playing an easy game. Didn’t look like there was much challenge at all. Today, the games look tough. It looks like they’re playing at the Global Championships now, right? And we’ll see how they adjust to that. I don’t necessarily even think that we will see a game like yesterday from them, but like Kelly highlighted, they’re still having good games, good enough games to keep your lead if you can stay as a trio. Yeah. It’s almost like obviously this is us being me specifically being hyperritical, right? Again, we watch three games, three VRs back to back and I’m being like, I want that again. But it’s like, no, you guys are right. They’re having great games. I just want to see another Victory Royale. You know, we’re going to come back to them. It’s Kannata. It’s rapid. It’s Bolt moving up. And again, if we just look from like fourth up to second place, right? The the point differential isn’t that crazy. Kannata, he won game one yesterday, right? We’ve seen it happen. So, I think as long as they can continue to kind of pull that consistency up a little bit. Maybe we see a VR from them. Maybe they we see them slowly continue to rise up the standings. I mean, Kannata, Volt Rabbit, they’re just playing the games that they understand. They’re playing a little bit of passively. They’re playing with the minigun. kind of just spraying out players and kind of hoping that something works out in their favor. But unfortunately, still not able to get into that victory royale situation. Kannata here even staying in Storm a little bit early, but when you have nothing else there, making sure that you make it into placement, consistency, and that is what this trio is known for. Not necessarily the elims, but just consistency. I think that they’re playing the game that the way that they want. I almost wonder if we have a runner close by cuz I need I need someone to go get a do-agg. I need do-rag natada on stage right now. He’s NA’s only hope. Okay. His only hope, our only hope. Let’s take a look at those standings and take a look at page number two. All right. Let’s see how things are going. Uh on the second page again, we take a look. Chap Reason Mr. Savage, right? Not that terribly far away. And even in 12th, right, think about Faser, PHZ, and King. That last game making it to the end game, guys. I feel like making it to the end game is so critical. So many of those points are locked up in just making it there. And I love that from this Brazilian team, we see them get there. Absolutely. I think the the big thing is we’re starting to see a lot of those teams on that second page finding a bit more momentum. And it’s going to get tighter and tighter. And what that means is by the time we get to game 11 and 12, it’s going to get hyper and hyper because every single decision, every single thing that happens in that game, every single placement will have an impact on who sits on that top 10. Okay. All right. I’m getting word we have an interview lined up. Mach is standing by with Frankie right now. Thank you, Mach, for agreeing to talk to us. What must be quite a high pressure moment. You were still top of the leaderboard with 81 points, but the games haven’t been your strongest of the competition. What’s been happening with the high ground? Why haven’t you been able to to hold on to it? So, I think so many people got reviewed and going for high ground. It was obviously we we knew it. I think we just need to reset and that’s the break we need to win the tournament. 81 points from the second place. Uh what’s the strategy now for the next case? As I said, uh I think we’re playing good. We just need mentally reset uh for all of us and we’re going to play much better after the break. So, how is the energy now for the trio mustache? Obviously, you still have the energy of the audience, but what are the vibes in the booth? I mean, the vibes are still good. We kind of went down after the last game because we died earlier and but yeah, after the break, I’m pretty sure everything going to come back and we’re going to win. So, what’s the plan for the last three games? They don’t die. I think that you were going to play out of your mind. We only get to do this once a year and I know you’re not going anywhere without a fight. Thank you so much, Mach. Good luck. Let’s head back to the desk. Thank you so much, Merc, for that time. We know this time is very valuable for these players, right? Super appreciative of him just taking a moment, letting us kind of get into his mind, see where he’s at. Oh my gosh, we only have three games left to go in the global championship. How did we get here? How did this happen so fast, Lean? Let’s rewind time. I mean, the games have just been so good. And you know what they say, time flies when you’re having a blast. Looking at what Mustache said there, Kelly, he talked about them having an understanding that this type of thing was going to happen. Hype was always going to be a lot more chaotic. There was always going to be a lot more suitors going for it on day two. And I liked how he sort of said there’s not like an in-game tactical adjustment we have to make. We just need the mental reset. We know what we’re doing. We just need to execute better. And I if anyone can do it, it’s going to be Quezy. One of the biggest veterans that we have in the competition, getting two second places in land already. He understands what it means to have a mental reset and to kind of coach these players to himself to be able to bring them into this mindset. I think that’s really what like stands Quasy above the rest. Yeah. I I don’t want this to end up being like famous last words, but there is no one more prepared than him for like the finishing race, right? like you’re approaching that moment in the last couple games of a global championship. Nobody has has dealt with the bad side of it as much as him, right? So in theory, nobody should be more prepared for it. M interesting. That’s a you know something also you said something the fact that like obviously this is a land setting. So if I go in and you know we play a lot from home, right? A lot of our majors are remote, right? If I’m at home, I’m comfortable. I’m in my chair. leaned back, got my shoes off, got my drinks close by. It’s a lot different than being in this stadium on land under the lights, under the pressure of this crowd. You make a mistake, you hear a boo, you get an elimin, you hear them roar, right? It just is so different. Um, also wanted to highlight just some little fun interactions around we’ve been seeing in the map as we kind of bring up the standings. I believe it’s Viko, Veno, Flicky have had uh quite the run here uh at Lan. Obviously, uh again, you know, love him or hate him, Veno is a character coming out being Veno. Vico, you know, he’s a talker. He’s confident, but he can back that up with a lot of his play. So, I’m I’m excited to see what they bring for the last three games. Look, I I’m not going to lie, as someone who knows these guys really well, I was worried about them when I when I realized what the atmosphere here was going to be like, right? Because again, they’re very emotional players. In the case of Viko and Veno, at times they can allow some of these things to get to them. At times it’s been difficult for them, but it’s good to see that in moments in game they’re not allowing that noise to really get to them, right? They’re able to stay locked in. This game unfortunately was not a great example of that. Rio really just put them to sleep, put them to shame. So again, I think like Mustachio, this break will be huge for these guys for a mental reset. Yeah, definitely. And you know, Raicho there, he’s got to be feeling good representing the smaller regions here, especially to take down someone like Venovixie who have kind of put a little bit of a target on their back. You know that the audience loved what? Yeah, a little bit. Just a little bit. I never noticed. I like that. I like it. Guys, I’m getting word. Um, I want to head on up to a little interview. Benji is standing by with Gotaga. What? foreign. Republicance. Mercy Frankie. Frankie, it’s your turn. Meu Benji. From one birthday boy to another, what’s it like spending your birthday with an incredible arena like this? Uh, it is actually amazing to have this kind of birthday present. Uh, Gotaga, my friends. Uh, Bonver as well uh from your upstairs Gaga and gentlem thank you very much. Um, it’s it’s actually insane. Have you got a joint birthday party plan for later? I might have planned a birthday party, right? Yeah, it’s a you happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Amma. Happy birthday to you. Now man, make a wish. Wish for your favorite player. Who is winning the 2025 Fortnite Global Championship? We don’t know, but it will be whoever Amar wished for. And you’re going to tell me in just a moment. Okay. Can I just do one thing quick? Absolutely. Gentlemen, gentle Gentle, gentle, gentle. Birthday. Let’s go. Thank you very much. Happy birthday, Mom. Who wants some cake? Well, I think we’re just going to go and we’re going to we’re going to go and have some cake here. Um, and you guys enjoy this. The trophy lift is the best part of any land. Hearing the crowd cheer on and casters, even the pros. Who’s Yeah, a lot of players dream of lifting the trophy at land. Yeah, raising the trophy at land was definitely the highlight of my career. Hearing all the crowd and all the people like yelling when I walked out. Like that’s an experience that I won’t even pay to do again. It was just such an amazing feeling to complete the dream. The best moment of my life 100%. Honestly, lifting the trophy at land is nothing I think for it like I don’t know if I’m ever going to feel anything like that again. That trophy’s looking clean. Yeah, that’s a good looking trophy. I mean, that trophy is 10 times better than my I really want to lift the trophy. Hopefully this year I can finally lift it. I think winning at land is 100 times better than winning online just because the atmosphere, the experience, the fans, and like the trophy lift. Everything at land is just more exciting, more fun, has more eyes on it. Yeah, it 100% feels like this. Every time you go in the land, you just chase that feeling over and over again. Clutch after clutch, win after win. I don’t think anything in life could make me more happy. And I also want my teammates to experience it. Like I said, I mean, it’s such a one-on-one feeling. If it’s not a win on land, it doesn’t really matter. So to win here at Global would just be a great feeling on moment, honestly, cuz it’s something that I’ve had on my list for a while now. Winning an official Fortnite land would definitely be the craziest moment in my career for sure. I think it’s just going to be beautiful addition to the collection. I’ve already won before with the different teammates, so I can win again. A lot of people said I’m an underdog, but I show them not. Look, we’re all We all wish we could take that trophy home. You know, guys, I’m just going to go up the I’m going to I got to I got to Someone’s calling me. I’m going to go up the stage real fast. Okay, don’t worry about it. I’ll be right back. You guys just keep doing your thing. Uh no, but in all serious, of course, this uh is a good time. Once again, players are currently We’ve taken a break, right? Getting that mental reset and they’ll get back into the action as quickly as we can. Uh seeing all these players kind of talk about that trophy, this just means so much, right? Like obviously prize money is awesome, right? Life-changing amounts of stuff, but like a global champion title and a trophy to kind of forever cement your accomplishment, dude. That’s what so many of these players, they chase. And there’s players like there’s just so many different situations when a team comes into a land setting like this, whether you think that they’re the favorites to win it all or they’re the underdogs and they somehow come out on top and that it just inspires so many people, so many players. And I always like to ask the question for the winners, what do you want to say to people that want to be like you and the inspiration that they have that they want to just show to all the kids watching essentially that this can be them. I mean, you look back on those previous winners at one point they were starting new in Fortnite. And to be able to focus themselves to be able to climb up all the way to the stage and then grab that trophy for themselves just means so much to not only them but to all their fans watching as well. Kind of like Kelly’s hyping me up right now. I want to again you hyped up. I want I want to run through a brick wall right now. I’m ready to go lift that trophy myself. I mean, I wish I could. Maybe not this year. Maybe next year. Uh, look, you’re spot on, Kelly. The the the the euphoric feeling you get from being able to to step up once the competition is done, all the light shining bright on you, you make your walk to lift a trophy. It It’s something you never ever forget. And it’s something that, you know, whenever I talk to these players after the Global Championships, the players who didn’t win, that’s always what they’re focusing on. It’s always like, I wish I could be the one to lift that trophy. Next year is my time. For me in esports, I always talk about the story. And right now, there is a beautiful story building going all the way back to the invitational. Cammy and Sedi versus Queezy and Veno. The story that everyone said saved competitive Fortnite was Queezy and Veno landing on Cammy and Sedi. And although it didn’t go their way and they got second place, that cemented them in competitive Fortnite forever. And then you go to last year where we think it is going to be an absolute stop of Puyo versus Peterbot. But Queezy says, “Nuh-uh. I’m going to make them earn this win and get second place once again. Full circle. We are here now back on the global stage and Quezy finally has that first place spot in his grasp. It’s right there. It’s right there. This has been a story building for 3 years now. The obviously the the person right behind him on his heels right is Vana saying, “Hold on queasy. I’ve got the crowd behind me. Don’t get too far away.” Now, obviously, you can see the players are starting to get back on the stage. They’re starting to take their seats once more. We’ll get back into games as quickly as we can, but man, oh man, tension is building for sure. Three games and now you have to start asking the question now that you guys have had that mental reset. What is the game plan at this point? This is a brand new competition. You have three games. Whatever has happened before now does not matter. We’re either playing to try and take away first from Quezy or we’re trying to play to get a top 10 cuz that is lifechanging money. You leave it all out on the server. Three most important games of your Fortnite life. Yeah, you have to do whatever it takes. As crazy as it sounds, but what is whatever it takes? Are we going to see what we saw in major 3 for the North American Championships? Are we going to have the second place team land on the first place team? Are we going to see some crazy rotations? We’ve also seen teams change up their drop spots in the final moment. Is that what’s going to happen? And it’s not just fighting for first. We keep talking about first place. That is where the glory is. However, all of these teams are making sure that they can climb up that leaderboard, grab the bigger piece of the pie because everyone here is fighting for notoriety and fighting for that prize pool. Absolutely. I mean, look, we always speak about the top surprising players who have performed. You know, your placement here might catapult your career in the next direction. I look back to last year, right? A lot of the players who didn’t win but ended up becoming sort of stars in the world of Fortnite, the guys like WS, guys like Bolts, right? They didn’t win the competition but everyone left the competition talking about how they performed. You want to put yourself in that category, someone who people are talking about for months and months after the competition. It’s only a catapult, right? From this point forward, regardless of where they end at the I would say at the end of the day, these guys have made it to the mobile championship. This is the biggest stage possible. These are some of the best trios in the world. And now like what you’re saying, right, to say let’s just get into the top. Let’s place top five. Instant respect, instant streak cred. How many of these trios are looking to do that? And that’s what I’m saying, man. Three games. Let’s go. Kelly, I mean, we could get Let’s get crazy, right? Everybody in the lobby, let’s just go let Quasy. Let’s take him out. Let’s try close the gap. And then everybody kind of walk. Why do you say Kelly? He’s trying to put that on me right now. I don’t think Queez is going to be a big fan of you guys anymore. I mean, everyone, you probably can’t be having none of that. I mean, look, he’ll he if you ask him right now, he say, “Yeah, they can do whatever. We’re ready for it, right?” Cuz that is just how stone cold he is. And we’ll see if in these next three games, he really can solidify himself as the greatest IGL of all time. But we can’t count out the rest of the teams in second and third and fourth place. We saw game number six, Pablo Wingo walk out with almost a 200point game. So much can change if you’re able to grab all of those eliminations. If you’re able to kind of control the low ground while Queezy sticking up height, making sure that he’s just staying alive. There is still a chance. There is still an opportunity. But with three games left, Zeke, only time will tell what’s going to happen. You got to think the pressure’s got to be through the roof. Think about coming into day number one, right? Oh, you know, land, here we are, my friends, my peers, this amazing crowd. Pressure’s on. First half of day two. Hey, maybe we’re doing well, maybe we’re not. You know, whatever. The last three games, this will be it. Pressure is through the even just looking at Quezy, right? Can he handle that pressure with only three games? I when now when I look at Quezy and even how he was from the beginning of day one yesterday to where we are right now, he looks the same. He looks locked in. He looks like, hey, I’m putting up as many walls to keep this noise out as possible cuz I know what I came here to do. I just have to do 11. I mean, he’s not going to give too much away. I’m sure thoughts will be racing through his head, but he must remain stoic. He must remain ice cold, especially when you’re the leader of the team, right? Swizzy and Mustache, outstanding players who look to him for guidance and leadership. If he starts to look shaky, if he starts to look nervous, it might impact them ne negatively. Again, these are the types of things the best leaders in our game have to do. Man, Boltz, Rapid, and Canada joined by Higs, Clicks, and Yamzo holding up North America, making sure that they are not kicked out of that top five and top 10 respectively. But honestly, you were right at the beginning of the show, Levit, EU is on top right now. But which of the EU teams will come out on that top? You know, I’m actually curious. I saw I have the corner eye there, Viko Venoflicky, right? They’re about a 100 points behind, but one good game, like you said, Kelly, could change everything. With that being said, why don’t we go say what’s up to our casters to get things started. Thank you guys so much. This is the final stretch, the last leg of day 2’s competition here at the 2025 FMCS Global Championship, Jacob. And anything could happen because that top two starting to get uncomfortably close. Yeah, anything has happened already. and 85 points to start the day. That was the lead from Queezy, Swizzy, and Mustache. And it has been decimated. Only 81 points separate first and second place. You got to give it up to the EU teams all weekend long for performing great, but the next game is ready. Let’s get right into the action. Take Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. What? Get up. Get up. Get up. I didn’t try Tik Tok. Please hold. Oh wow. Okay. Nice. She’s eating. about Hey, I Okay. Got it. Got it. No joke, guys. SC. Okay, there you go. Come on. Yeah. Okay, Really excited. Come shot What you got? Box wait. Oh [ __ ] Oh yeah. Jump on your car. Jump on your car. Jump on your car. Okay. We need to keep the sound. Hello. Did it start it? It’s got Hide. Hide there. Hide. Going master. Okay. Okay. to the That’s it. Best time. Stay three different ones, but that’s what they get. A little bit more loot to work with once they get that rank upgrade. It’s only a B rank though, so you can see the kind of the slow play. No eliminations. Not necessarily their game plan though. I like this deadside wraparound though from Si Panzer and Yapo. They’ve got early surge already locked in. So they’re going to opt to already make a direct line in towards the elevation of the mountain range and potentially push back other teams that might be looking to try and rotate a little bit after the fact. I can agree with that. Takes takes in Yamzo this time around. zone pulling towards the north which means they kind of have the luxury to be able to sit in their base. I believe this might have been the team that we saw kind of get chopped earlier on in this game but as we tune in Aer is feeling a little bit of struggle that’s Peterbot Cold and Ritual on the other side. They have to abandon Chip in terms of getting Agers back into the game. So Pooyo Acorn they’re going to have to work this as a duo and that’s a huge disadvantage going against NA champs Peterbot Cold and Ritual and they’re looking to get aggressive. There’s only one way back into this game and it’s through eliminations itself. This is starting to feel like major 3 and NAC all over again right now. Jacob, Peterbot, Cold and Ritual seemingly in the driver’s seat right now for this box fight. That is up until Cold loses a good chunk of his shield. He’s going to retreat back towards the high ground. Boy, a side by side holding down this lower layer. But the longer this drags out, the more time it provides for Ryu, Snowy, and Sod to move in. Yeah, just a kind of scary situation cuz even with the knock on the Ages, Pet Ritual didn’t play aggressive, and that’s usually something you see out of this team time and time again, especially since they have a deficit that they have on the leaderboard. 14th place versus 18th. You’d expect both of these teams to try to make some sort of a play, but they also know this is the two teams we’ve been seeing all year long essentially battle it out for one and two in terms of actual top spots and grand finals leaderboards, but in terms of the community as well. But boy and Peterbot, Jacob, they were just global champions. They did that together. And now here today, both of them going on huge recovery tours just to try and bring themselves back into contention for top five. But Peterbot, Ritual, Cold, they’re just continuing to push themselves up the cliff face there. Have to check back in to see whether or not Acorn Polio even decided to pick back up on that engagement. But for right now, Reason [ __ ] this is dangerous. They’ve got Gina, Proxy, and Pablo trailing them. And they’ve already lost Mr. Savage. They want to play for the reboot, but they’ve got to deal with hero first. Yeah, they’re kind of faking it. Faking like they were going to try to crash pad away, get somebody on the other side to make a mistake. Even though they didn’t peak, they realized where they were and immediately start to put pressure down. They have the stinger. They have the minigun. They are going to melt through these builds if they could focus all on the same target. for reason and chap they are 1,300 damage above the threshold dropping down to,00 but they have more than enough to focus on trying to get Savage back into the game. No other team or at least not many can say that they have that amount of comfortability and so fory go Pablo they’re just going to continue to try to rotate. Use the blowberry fizz use the crash pad to get out. You can get a chance to look in and see what happened. Mr. Savage just too preoccupied dealing with Halad on the other side of his wall. Doesn’t get a chance to close off his back tarp. That is a big play to come into fruition there. It’s going to be a huge setback too for Chap and Rez to try and bring it back. But Masixie Vana, they’ve got so much damage right now above the surf threshold. Jacob, all they want to prioritize is the high ground hold. They have made that very clear here today. Yeah, and they got a smooth rotation in. Every other team in front of them is also doing the same thing. So, they’re not going to be contested by many up until the point where they start to hit that line on the zone. You see it’s getting stacked more and more on the south side where more and more teams are going to have to rotate into on the whole northeast side. There’s three teams stacked up. Malibu Capings and Walks going to be one of them. Day two today, their run has been impeccable. 345 points doing their best to close the gap as much as they can, but they’re kind of in a tough situation here. Talked about three big teams all around ready to fight if they make a mistake and they’re all going to rotate out first beating Malabuka pings and watch on this rotation. Smart though not trying to overcommit. Talking about overcommitments, Chap sees FK. Yes, they were trying to bring him back into the mix, but [ __ ] taking full advantage of the situation. Just bragging out entirely. FK. Yes, the secondary elimination there. And that is exactly what Chap and Reason needed. Breathing room. Maybe we’ll see Mr. Savage back in this one. And for Queezy, Swizzy, and Mach, this is a moment. This is a moment because they’ve had two lackluster games so far. One decently well played one and that 185 point gap got dropped to 81. But with still an 81point lead, it’s about a game or so. They have a cushion. They just need to execute here and now. They cannot wait because if they falter early, that’s just opening up the floodgates for anybody and everybody to start to catch up. But the north side of zone, it’s starting to pull so much congestion. Clicks, Higs, they want to take over the positioning that Curly Re and Cooper currently reside in. But they don’t even realize just on the other end of that box, Chino Pablo for Doy. And you want to talk about guys who are looking for a fight, just look at the amount of eliminations they’ve already acquired by Seventh Zone. This is one of the few teams, may even be the only team capable of dropping a double digit elimination win. Capable. They did it yesterday to close out the day. 19 eliminations. This is giving me flashbacks of just that. They’re moving from Clicks, Higs, and Yamzo to a whole another trio towards the north side of the map. That’s PA, Par, and Pump. And they have the luxury. They can wait. They can let that team make a mistake. But you’re seeing Storm Surge really start to affect this lobby. Kanata, even while he’s 1500 above, finding opportunities and not trying to let them pass. They started off the entire tournament with a game one victory royale and doing their best to remain consistent ever since NA’s best hope to win the entire tournament and stay inside of the top five. They got a lot of surge zone pull rather favorable for the time being and being in that fourth place position they got to hold their own vortex goofy mountain it could be a real threat but Kannata just immediately pushing them back don’t start trying to peak our direction still spinx buzz and shadow they didn’t get the memo they’re still willing to try and cross over but reason smothered trying to see if he can live aspect going to be knocked though and that’s everything for reason right Now he needed some form of a lifeline and the life jacket from that elimination if he can get to the body loop. But no, another team Mixon and Upple. They’re going to take over. Yeah, just a little bit more than those siphoned materials. U Mixon just like you said, they went ahead and stole all of that loot from the underneath that desperately needed, but he gets tagged up. Oh my, a turnar around 180 turns and burns to take down Kazzy. And I was talking about how low of resources he actually had. Well, that siphon is going to help Tenfold. Reasonz knows Aar is watching. He’s trying to deliver the best sort of birthday gift. And what’s better than clutching up a nice set of eliminations here to keep the dream going, but Rez starting to get a little lobby focused. So heavy hitters right in front of him. Deus Darmman picks but has a solo. What more can he do? He has to stay hidden. He has to conceal himself backside for Stash. He’s lost his IGL. He’s lost his other fragger. It’s Poo Yo who’s taken out his fellow gentle mate Swizzy eliminated Agers going to come at a cost with the double revive. They might be able to pull it off. They’re going to drop all the way down to the bottom of the mountain phase but it was too far. They weren’t intending to send themselves directly outside but the zone pool. The zone pool is saving them. Yeah, the zone pool is a truly a blessing for a Acorn and Puyo because it also stopped them becoming a focus of that lobby on that side. But with Queezy, Swizzy, and Mustache having some difficulties in this game, it leaves high ground open for none other than Vana, Marius, and Pixie. Does anybody challenge that high ground for Noxy Chino and Pablo would probably be one of my best bets, but you can see a huge amount of resources missing. 6 HP only finding bandages, and eventually we’ll go back to two empty slots. There’s so much metal, all these pre-existing builds. And not only that, but the shift in elevation. Pixie well overhead. He might be able to even see this team scattered through the low ground. They’re trying to get whatever hidden positions they can. But for he runs into the wrong box. For immediately put down into the dirt. Pablo and Chino, they’re going to have to get it out the mud. And Pablo with the elimination onto now means that they’re stuck inside the building. They’ve got to break out. But this is the point in time in the game. Top 17 team still left alive. placement points will start to click in with every team that falls and cascade further and further with the eventual winner getting 65 points. But in the feed, you see Chino, he’s going to go down. Oh no. Yep. That puts Pain and Hunger inside as Pix is now feeling that same pressure. He’s going to fall. Deus is being stuck by himself. He has to try to figure out a way out of this situation because they have no resources. Darm, they’re separated just a little bit. No materials. And now the zone and somebody else moving in. But oh my, he does it again. Big Darm is going to take down Puyo. And this is exactly why they are the prospects of Poland. Darm just doing everything he can to make the impossible happen. But Mius, Pixie, Vana, they’re just so healthy overhead. Darm is going to meet his demise at the hands of Mustache. But Mustache just not enough gas left in the tank. He’s taken out. The rage coming through. The frustration is felt. So many placement points lost. A ton of placement points lost. They got around the top 15. It is wide open. If Pixie, Marius, and Vana can figure out a way to win this game with a certain number of eliminations for one of the first times today. We could see a new first place team. But Taco, don’t let me get too ahead of myself. Two different games today. We saw them on high ground and they faltered. This could be third chance to charm. But look at the amount of materials they have. Jacob 85 build. And that’s chest on Marius. They are so strongly overhead. The rest of the lobby collapsing into itself. It’s cannibalizing itself underneath them. They hardly have to do anything at all to spray suppress while Pablo continuing to try through the storm sickness. Tearing away at his back. He finally manages to get inside the zone, but they’ve been chopped. Pixie saves himself at the last second with the crash pad, but it’s Kannata. He’s going up. Vius trying to stop it. Vius brings out Bolts. There’s no way he’s going to let this one slide away. The win in itself is not enough for them to take first. I said they need a certain number of eliminations. Well, that’s one step further, but taking that top spot. And now the pressure continues. Rapid scrambling around. He has a very little build. Kannata, he is out. Not a single material left. His flashes are running out as well. Pings from F8 trying to make a miracle run continue. 373 points. It is on him for the solo clutch to pick up these points. Queas is just a fan of everybody else in this lobby right now. He needs someone to take out height. He needs to see Vana Boooo fall from the top of it all. But Clicks still trying to heal backside his own. He’s got nothing left. Storm’s going to take care of him. Vana and Pixie and Mattas though refuse to budge. They’re not going to let this one slip through their fingers for Quezy. It’s like gravity and smoke watching this lobby try to take them down. Muzz and Shadow still giving some hope. They are a fully intact trio. There’s only three full trios left in this game. Shadow, Sphinx, and Muzz are one of them, but they’re getting pressured on the other side on the low ground by King Phaser. PH in. They’re trying to run around, take priority on the zone. They have beaten Muz up this hill, but they’re focusing on by the high ground. They ran out of builds. It’s all turning sideways. Down goes PH in. King is scrambling. He’s able to get one, but it’s not enough. 3v3. The eventuality comes in. Marius has dropped him down. He wants to finish the fight, but he’s going to go down. Ba trying to stay up. Two different med kits. Two splashes left and it’s a one v3 situation. M Spinx and Shadow might have just done it. All they have to do is remain fully intact. Ba still from up above. He’s got a couple of chunk splashes. He’s got a couple of medkits. This might be our first heal up. We are witnessing Jacob. He knows he doesn’t have any other choice. He’s got to fully retreat. Sphinx going to be the last line of defense. He’s violating going forward. He can’t manage to figure out where Vana is at though. There’s so much space in between him. Shadow still has 130 left in the med. But Vana more bandages. Still has the splashes. Is Storm Sickness going to come into effect or will Shadow manage to do it with the medm? Vana scrambling. He got another medkit. Where does it keep coming from? But he can’t hold on. It’s completely over. It was an excellent attempt. But speaking Shadow, they find their one. You saw Speaks right there. N letting them know. Multi-reion champion M showing up big and the young star Shadow has showed up to take a big win on the international stage. Frankie, I need to know how they’re feeling. Guys, that was absolutely incredible. My favorite heel off I have ever watched. I know, Mars, that you went down first, but what was it like watching these two? Uh, wait, no, I was alive. I was alive. Oh, you were alive. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I was literally eyes on three parts of the screen there. So, you were alive. What was the heel off like? Um, my heart was beating. I’m not going to lie. Like, it was beating. that I’ve always wanted to win a game on land and I finally did it. So, shout out to the best IG on the world. Congratulations, M. I mean, Benj did the first victory royale on this grand final for you. How do you feel, man? I feel great. You know, I’m just happy right now. My heart was beating so bad that last game, but we we pulled through. I feel like your hearts might have been beating, but you were full on confidence for you. Was your hand shaking or were you just eyes on the prize? Frankie, we had this interview twice before. This ain’t nothing new to me. You know what I’m saying? Things you do have form at Global Championship, but how does this one compared to Lands of the Past? Um, it feels good. You know, we lowkey sold day one. We’re bringing it back today. It just feels good to know like I still got it in me. You know what I’m saying? Of course you’ve still got it in you. This whole team has got it in them. But what’s the plan now? What is the purpose of these next two games? Change nothing. It’s working today. It’s worked so well for you. Thank you so much. Everyone, please give it up for Shadow Spinx and M. The crowd love to make noise and I’m loving to hear. But we’re going to take a break cuz we got two more games to go. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Do you get scared or do you feel lost? I can smell fear. I’ve been there before, but you made it through the storm again. You did it on your own again. Goosebumps in your skin. Do you feel what I feel? I’m waiting on you to notice that you got what you wanted. We don’t got time to cry right now. Only got to focus on a weight. I was armed and dangerous. Take a shot, leave me faceless. I was armed dangerous on a whole different level. I can see why they hating. I was all dead. I was all dead. You should have been focused. You should have known like you should have noticed I’ been you know like better watch your back cuz we aiming at your head I don’t need a pick me up and I don’t need a rest down top down hit pull up with the trio and my eyes are red of us everybody screaming They can’t believe us. Two hits on a weight list. I was armed and dangerous. Take a shot, leave me faceless. I was all dead dangerous. On a whole different level. I can see why they hating. I was all dead. I was all dead. You should have noticed. I’ been focused. You should have known. Fortnite fam, we did it. Muzz got a victory royale at the global championships. Buzz, my boy. I cannot believe it, guys. In case you didn’t know, M, Shadow, and Sphinx, these guys had to qualify through the last chance qualifier. They took it to the hardest part of the competition in a major and then went on to that major and qualified at the global championships. Come here, the hardest stage of this competition and get a victory royale on land mini. I’m good. I can go home happy. I mean, wow, what a win it was as well. You mentioned it through the last chance qualifier. These guys know how to win and doing it on this big stage is so so important for them. Going to boost them so high up in the standings as well. The way they played this low Grand Kelly was so so good. And off the back of a third place in the game of four, now getting into a win. That’s going to boost them up in the standings so much. Coming down to a 3v3 against the likes of Marius and Pixie, but they got a little greedy. They got a little overconfident. They dropped down thinking, “Oh, this low ground team, we can easily eliminate them.” Wait, is that Muzz? Uh-oh. And so, two of them go down. They know that they have the heal off potential, and they got close. Vana was able to find a medkit in those final moments, but Shadow Muzz still able to stay alive, still able to grab that victory royale and a win for North America. What helped them so much was that Vana had to go into storm so so early, right? They could stay inside of the zone, keep that med miss that was ultimately so so crucial for them winning that game. So, they were just able to stay in the inside of the zone. I love the reaction as well. Um, and yeah, what what a fantastic win for them. Really well played. Oh man, this is what I love to see. Live it up there, Sphinx. Live it up. That’s your moment there. Oh man, a big W for North America. We need it desperately. Kelly, I love it. I Sphinx has been such an incredible player to watch grow over the years and something that even Cooper himself, global champion winner, said Sphinx is one of the most amazing IGLs. He really just needs to have his right time, his right moment, and that was it right there. But if we’re talking about moments, we got to talk about our top three. None of them shifting in the leaderboard right now. But what did shift, Zeke, is that lead. Look at it. First and second place. It is barely 30 points separating them. How did we get to this point, man? We were leading by 150 points. And now we find ourselves with only a 30 point lead. Mini, it’s not enough. But right now as well, let’s take a look there at Pixie and Maria Sven. What’s crazy too is like these guys had high ground. They get chopped and like at that moment your heart’s got to sink, right? This is like a ma a major. You think that’s it. They instantly recover, right? They’re falling midair and throw a crash pad down and that’s what saves their life. Jump back up, take back over. And though they didn’t win the game, they still play second. They didn’t get a ton of eliminations, but those placement points and that minigun mini, they go per. Yeah, they definitely do. And this is the Vana Pixie Marius that we know and love here on over on EU. They got so so close to winning it there, Kelly, as well at the end. You know, you mentioned it came to a heal off. They were trying to look. Vany was trying to look for some heals, trying to find anything he could, and he found that loot llama of heals right there at the end, but it was just like what a second too late. There was a bunch of med miss. There was med kits. Get everything just We were freaking out for a moment. Could you imagine if they got the victory royale there, how much closer it would even be. But I do have to talk about, you already said it, they got chopped out from height and we thought for a moment, oh no, this is it. They’re going to go down and then the crash pad comes out. He saves himself and then in turn of that able to reclaim height cinema. Oh my gosh. You know the cinema. We have a listen in from the trio. Let’s take a listen. You want to fly? They killed one. They’re fighting. We can pop if if it’s fighting. You’re good. You’re good. You’re good. 60. Merc died. Merc died. Nice. Yeah. I got pump 100. I got pump 100. I’m low. I’m low. I’m low. I break. [ __ ] 180. 180. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. I’m chilling. 60. Disappear. Go. No. I’m dead. I have nothing, bro. Go away. Go away. No. It looked like for a moment, right? Going back in the old build, editing that single metal wall, jumping in and going a medkit. It’s It’s all saved. But in the end, not enough. And what’s crazy too is just think about Vana on height, right? There’s a moment on the low ground where the teams are fighting and you just hear the minigun start and it’s just shred everything down below. And I thought at that moment it’s over. Va with that single item got themselves the win. But man coming down here to the wire. Other trios popping off in this game as well. Kannata right another savior right please. Na. The difference is though, Hanata actually is moving down a placement now. There’s we can still make this up, right? It’s not that many points far behind, but Kelly, we’ve got two more games. Uh yeah, I mean with Rapid Kannata and Bolts, we already saw them grab the first victory royale of day number one, setting the stage for everyone else. And although they hadn’t had the performance they wanted throughout the rest of the games of day one, they slowly started to be able to climb back playing the way that they do. You see, it is low eliminations. They have never been a W key team. However, by sticking to the low ground and to the side as you can see, they’re able to just kind of last a little bit longer, maybe get a few clutch limbs at the end and stay in that placement heavy format we know that they like. Yeah, I like the way their strategies develop, right? Of course, day number one, we saw them come out really, really hot and then things look a little bit not so good for them right throughout the rest of the day. I like the way that they’re playing it. Of course, their offspawn situation was looking really good. It was just all about execution when it comes to the end game. Now, they’re sort of I mean, tune it back a little bit, right? trying to play a little bit less aggressive, trying to play out as many placement points as they can. And now two games to go. Maybe they’ll try and go a little bit more aggressive, try and push higher up because they still dropped down right there. Right. We don’t have long to go here before we jump back into the game. I wanted to highlight really quickly Quezy, right? This is the first time we have seen him falter. 15th place in that game, a single elim. Now we are only have a 30point lead. Guys, this is uncharacteristic. Maybe that reset wasn’t helpful, but listen, we still have two games to go. Kelly, we can still pull this off. We can still do this. Listen, everyone always talks about caster curses, and I think that’s hogwash. But then I spend half of our halftime show talking about Queezy story in second place, missing out on first place in the Invitational, missing out on first place last year. And now I’m wondering, why did you do this? Are they going to get second once again? What I hope is he’s learned. I hope he’s learned from that last time out, right? Getting second place. And I hope that they can now hopefully take that into a few changes now into the last couple of games. Remember they left it all the way down to the end last year. So, you know, they had to make a decision. They decided not to land on the first place team. This time, maybe they’ll make a decision. Maybe they’ll switch things up. I think they need to here, Zeke, because you pixie Maris, they’re closing in. And they’re doing exactly what they needed to do, which is consistency. Dude, I’m telling you, and that’s the thing, right, is we can’t make a single mistake. Now, what started like yesterday is like, oh man, this is looking like game. Now, we could be going into game 12 super close. And that’s what we live for, right? We go into the last game not knowing who can walk away with the win. But again, Vana, you make a single mistake. Vana’s right. He’s waiting, praying on it. Yeah. And it was something I mentioned at the beginning of the show as well. The games that Quzy don’t do well in. Vana’s team have to make the most of it. It’s absolutely essential and they’re doing that to a tea right now. After watching that replay, actually, I mentioned that Van actually found heals. I have no doubt they actually set that up because they had the right. So, they had all the heals in there. They had everything that they knew that was there and even on those coms as well. Really impressed with this team because of course their first native language is not English. They’re communicating in English. We heard it in that listening right there. And that’s so so hard for people that live in of course different countries and are from different countries speak different languages. And I mean I feel like we don’t talk about it enough in Fortnite, but that is a skill in itself. I mean, and that’s a really good call out when you say that when Quasi is doing poorly, that’s when Vana does well. And I actually think those are the few games that they’ve win for height, paying attention to that elimination feed, noticing that, oh, the team that is being able to control height is down. This is now our opportunity to take it. They are taking full advantage of everything. Again, it’s awareness. And usually I use that in the sense of map awareness, but just all of the game sense that you need to be at a top level. That is what they’re showcasing here today. And they’re not you to hike either. This is not what they’re used to, right? They’re going back to what they know. So it’s like you, you know, they had a very good day one and we were like, yeah, they’re playing a different sort of play style. They’re playing low ground, they’re playing consistently. Now you think like, oh, they’re trying to go for height. You usually associate that with a team that’s trying to change things up and go against the grain to what they’re usually doing. This is like more normal for them than what they were doing yesterday. Another team that I really want to give a shout out there too is of course one from our smaller region in the top 10 right now and that’s King Phaser and PH Zen. They played that game so smart where they kind of went for this dead side rotation. the zone and everyone starting to climb up and they just kind of dangerous obviously building up the hill if the zone doesn’t pull favorably can be disastrous but luck had it their way they were able to pull zone and then kind of control the low ground it was really smart from them and I love to see our Brazilian trio up in the top 10 can’t forget as well they came to NA right they decided they wanted more practice they wanted to kind of refine their skill set and Minnie that’s showing here on a global stage age that looks so good. And also they played in EU last chapter as well. Chapter 5, they came on over to EU. Had a little go there as well. It wasn’t necessary successful for them, but showing what they can do here. That’s right, Minnie. I’d love to keep talking. That battle bus horn has come. So, it is time. Game number 11. Let’s go. hand. Pink. Head show. What? Good. Good. for us. Come safe. Yes. Get out. minim. Nice shots. He gets the elim. They win off spawn. And just like for those chances, a comeback opportunity for Tason, but Vivid, you know, we’ve been watching that Ospawn take place all day long. You have to expect that surely third party is still going to want to get involved. Yeah, I mean the reboot, right? That’s going to be on their minds. Is that going to be possible? We know when you go ahead and reboot there’s a giant beam that comes out from the sky lets everybody know but oh my gosh darn Damus and Pix they’re in trouble. Yeah, they’re in trouble. Pix is going to be down. Malabuka walks and pings. They have advantage in this fight and they know how stacked the top side of the leaderboard is and they’re not scared. They want to continue to put the pressure. It’s just matter of did they see Darm? Did they see Deus rotate over in that direction towards the rainbow field and I do think they did. Crash pads coming out. They’re trying to close the gap. Battle between third and seventh. It’s just not worth it. The juice is not worth the squeeze here for Bolan and Deus Storm. Fortunately enough for them. Valabuka not checking the bushes. A little bit laxed. And this is how we know it’s game 11, right? With only a couple chances left for some of these teams to pick up points. This is atypical for Malibu walks and ping. We’ve seen them kind of base up early early every single game. But now the push, the aggression, they got to be thinking about the points they need. It’s just all too close for comfort. Swizzy, Queezy, and Mach know full well they had such a monumental lead to start the day, but it only took several matches and they’ve watched those points quickly go the other direction for everybody else except them. Yeah, you’re getting a little bit of a deeper look looking towards the north. Trading shots with Mr. Savage and the entire trio towards the west. It is going to be goofy in the trio. Even with a knock there, there’s just too much time and distance separating these two teams. It’s going to take a crash pad and a flow very fizz and it still might not even be enough. As we jump on board Saddy, Panzer, Yapco, the crowd just constantly letting them know how they feel. And since the zone is coming over towards the Capaca factory, you can see this is where they’re going to set up to try to get that damage. I mean, yeah, this is something that we’ve seen across every single one of the games, right? Yapo just kind of based up early on. said he might be looking at his inven like why does he have nothing in there? That’s because he’s going around the entirety of the map making sure that his team is going to be set up very very nicely for the rest of the game while they go ahead and pick up all of the damage elsewhere. You see some of the action going on. Baka getting a knock onto adapter. Hasn’t cleaned up the elimination yet, but Darm has been found out. Walks and pings. They take the 2v1 step closer to sending the entire trio back to the lobby. But Malibuka ends it as well in the 1 v one against Deus. Third place is out of there. Malabuka might have missed them the first time, but they knew they had to still be local to the area. There’s only so far that they could actually squirm away to. And the fact that they just get completely ran down here by Walks Ping and Malabuka. Those are the types of aggressive plays you have to make when you are in seventh place and you’re staring down a leaderboard that is so tightknit. The crowd just constantly constantly cheering for anybody on the M8 or Havoc squads, letting them know like, “Hey, take our energy. You guys have this.” As Yamzo clicks and Higs, different strategy this time around. Instead of sitting on top of Supernova Academy, they’re going for a lur. Kannata, Rapid, and Bolts. And they do see all the information in the feed. So, if any of them do get knocked, I expect Clicks and his trio to run straight over and try to get the chop, clean up what could be good damage. Oh, yeah. But this is something that we’ve seen before, right? Socials were kind of talking about how clicks. Yeah, they might have gotten a knock on this exact trio before, but they were a little bit hesitant to go ahead and push, right? Are we going to see something similar right now? Will they go ahead and full commit? I mean, 12th place going into game number 11. You would imagine they got to be thinking this time we got to go for it. But sometimes if you let it sit too long, your plate starts to go cold. And if they don’t act fast, they’re going to maybe have to watch this opportunity completely pass them by. The big thing here, too, is that Kannata and Boltz, they’re not even replenishing their shields. They are totally content with being knocked inside of their surge base. They’ve got rapid healthy. I mean, that’s your IGL. So, of course, he’s just rearing all of the materials, looking for extra ones as well. I mean, that’s scary. You’re sitting on the global stage right now. I can tell you right now, Jacob, if I was sitting up there with no shield on, knowing that so many of these competitors have been making plays on these exact type of bases, we’ve seen it time and time again, not only throughout the year, but throughout this exact competition that plays, these sneaky plays for the bottom of these surge towers. They are made all the time. You have no shield right now. It’s just in my head, I’m thinking, don’t be suspicious. Don’t be suspicious. They’re trying to watch out for Rapid. They know they’re focused on top over at the OXR HQ and they know Rapid is wandering around on the low ground replenishing all of the materials that they use to build that surge tower and they’re just waiting like I said for that knock or for an opportunity to get that 3v1 onto Rapid whichever one comes first. But if Rapid goes one step too far clicks Higs the moment that they realize that he’s by himself. Rapid would actually be the best player to hit a nice 321 on because he’s the one carrying everything for Kannata and Boltz right now. He has max materials just about. He’s still trying to finalize just the last few components. Clicks, Yamzo, Pigs just creeping forward. Rapid starting to make his way up, but they’ve been exposed. They took moments too long. And now Rapid red alert mayday situation here. But Bolts Katada with a plethora of heals in this surge base. This is not the place to be for Clicky Amzo and Higs instantly trying to go for that chop down. All three are up above. Here it comes. They pop the Flowberry Fizz just in time, but Clicks landing immense amount of damage getting Bolts down to just a sliver of HP and they’re immediately pushing over. Vivid said it and he meant it. They are learning their lesson. 331 points. They fell outside of the top 10 with two games left. They have to take these chances. But Vivid, do you think that it’s still worth trying to force this engagement knowing full well that you’re looking at a team like Kannata that’s got more than enough surge and they can afford to stick around with all these heals? I think the power behind the push for Clicks Yamzone Higs right there. It was all about the surprise. Rapid with an MVP form acting like a bird in the sky making sure that he kept his two teammates safe. Shout out to him, right? Cuz when you look at the leaderboard, they’re in fifth place right now. If Rapid doesn’t see them, everything falls apart. So, shout out to Rapid for catching that one. And Mr. Savage, Chap, and Reason, they’ve been having a pretty good weekend. But towards the end of the competition right now, it seems like they’re slowing down. Do have to believe it’s a little bit revitalizing though. When you watch Reason put on such a strong solo performance in the last lobby, that tells me they’ve still got Gusto and they’re still willing to throw everything on the line to make it work. Yeah, they’re chasing right now. Aorn and Poo. They see Mixon outside by himself. They’re trying to clean up that elimination. Up is going to go down as well. No more knocks coming into play, which means that full team is down and out of this lobby. The aggressive plays coming late into the day here on day two for Agers Apoo seem to be working out. Jacob, you’re talking about aggressive plays. We’ve obviously been able to take a look at a couple of them, but if you look in the top left, the player count right now, 59. This lobby is getting destroyed by aggression right now. These guys are crashing on each other is what that tells me, Vivid. But Queezy, Swizzy, and Mer Stash, they’re taking a much more tactical approach. Quezy, the mastermind, you have to remember back at the Invitational in 2022, he was the one that made the decision. I want to land on them. I want to challenge it. And it’s not as direct, but it’s still there. Jacob, this is a strategy. They know they land OxR. They’re waiting on top of the mountain. They want to rain down the shots as they fly through the sky. They crack the shields onto one. There’s just so much distance before he reaches the ground. He’s out of render distance overall. Instantly comes the crash pad. Mustache, Queezy, Swizzy, they’re trying to rotate in that direction. Finally, they get another opportunity and it works. BA goes down. Mustache, Swizzy, and Queezy are going after second place. But what’s going to be there faster? The double revive or Swizzy, Mustache, and Queezy. They’re doing everything they can to try and collapse onto this position. BA’s already been back up into the running, but they’re going all in here. Swizzy, Quezy, mustache. They’re looking to control their own destiny. They want to take down Vana. They want to make it so that game 12 isn’t even close. But Mustache, Queezy, Swizzy, they’re just not able to close the gap. And Stash, he’s lost too much HP. He’s going to be forced to fall back. This is it. This is the moment. Why wait till game 12? Marius Pixie and Vana, they’ve given an opportunity here to take down first place and potentially take that spot. View points separate them. And Swizzy is probably realizing their backs are up against the wall, maybe even secondguessing this decision to go ahead and try to surprise attack them, but they have the low ground. Marius Pixibana, they have the high ground. And since they do have that, they have the decision to hold and pressure them down below or rotate out like you see here. No risk, no story though. And Marius a little bit split apart here. Machy Swizzy, they’re still chasing them all the way down to the burn to go. These guys are full on fighting inside of the storm. It’s early zone tick, so they don’t have to worry too heavily. But it’s the storm sickness, Jacob. Both of these teams are delaying their own endame. And something that we saw come into play in that last game. the storm sickness getting chunks of HP ripped off in the end game, but they’re continuing to go. They want to chase this one down, but Pixie on the other side. He’s the most elevated. Bana, he’s on the low ground trying to heal the best that he can. So, Pixie is making sure to defensively hold that high ground. Marius as well. Floberry Fizz just makes sure to top off the shields. That way, they can force him down further and further. They continuously are getting chased, but you say, “You know what? You want to fight? Come get it.” They’re throwing everything at this one. and the inventory, all of the heals, they’re disappearing. Marius is becoming fully aware that the investment is soon becoming not worth it. How aggressive they’re going to get. They’re coming right box to box, wall to- wall right now. But think about the biggest differences here. Quezy’s team. They’re not actually carrying shotguns. All they have is the wrecker revolvers in comparison to Mius who’s rocking both, but it’s a gray sentinel at best. And that wrecker revolver just not able to get close enough. Pixie, Vana, Marius essentially at a standstill right now with Quasy. They have the majority of the heals. You already see the slurp juice in the inventory. Med kits being used essentially almost 200 HP and shields combined between these two. So they do have a little bit more of an upper hand. And I think Marius knows they’re running out of HP resources to keep this fight going longer. So they are definitely now officially on the clock. This deep in his own. And it’s only the fourth one overall. Mach and them still have splashes underneath. Vanya’s dropping. Almost gets boxed up. Mustache has his head on a swivel. Continuously turning around, but Taco talked about the double puff. And there it is in action. Various is able to get the knock onto one, but he gets dropped to 30 HP. They desperately need the siphon, but oh no, disaster strikes. Pixie is now the last one alive. First Stash and Swizzy. They lose Squeezy, but it’s only a knock. He’s quickly going for the revive. A miracle in the making as Pixie falls. They got all three. That’s all that they needed. The space has been created, but now they have to capitalize on it. It’s one thing to take them out. It’s another to keep building on the lead overall. Queezy, Mustache, and Swizzy. This game has just begun. Insane scenes here. Two top teams from EU fighting. Now it’s NA’s chance as Peterbot, Ritual, and Cold end that fight as soon as we turn in. And he’s using his own emote on him. Showbo said, “Hey, you might be ahead of us on the leaderboard, but we know who’s the king.” Peterbot Cold and Ritual. We just tune in. Six eliminations. That one’s got to feel good. Coming all the way over from Man to the Global stage. Kind of that back and forth that happens between those two trios. That one’s got to feel good. But I can’t lie, Taco, right? Ritual with four eliminations himself showing what a year’s worth of mechanical training can really do on the big stage. And we all witnessed the Richie 1v3s throughout the division. Cups vivven and even in the major ritual was putting up quite a stellar performance. But now things are going to fall directly into the line of sight here for PH Zen. Phaser and King. They’ve already spotted out two other teams based on mountains right next to us. These next couple of rotates could be rather difficult, but Kannata, Rapid, and Bolts, they’re still looking to press forward. They’re actually trying to do it from underneath. They’re hoping that they can just collect whatever leftover hard match they can find with a sold out crowd. You know, they’re going for M8. You know, they’re going for Havoc. So everybody at home, watching on Twitch, watching online, you need to give your energy to NA if you want to see a miracle comeback because second, third, fourth place, all of them down. Fifth place, that’s Kannata, Rapid, and Bolt. And a chance to close the gap, especially more so if they can figure out a way to take down Queezy, Swizzy, and Mach. But we’re now into the top 17. This is where placement points are going to come into play, and they’re going to start moving quickly. B, how do you feel seeing this rotation by Savage? Reason and Chap, they looked relatively healthy, but they’re not the only ones. Other teams in EU definitely making their presence known. Yeah, the chase is on right now for a couple of our teams, namely Malibuka, Walks, and Ping. The aggression early. They want to go ahead and catch up to Rapid, Canada, and Volts. Right. That’s the only team that is currently alive that is ahead of them right now. And as I say that, pressure starts to rain in. Why does this look like one of the practice lobbies right now though? Down to our last 17 teams and only six zone. Ping walks Malibuka. They’re trying to see if they can bring down Agers and Acorn with it. Boy’s already been claimed. Acorn Agers just trying to create a little bit of space, but they know this might be a fight that they can’t avoid any longer. They’re going to have to try and take a crash pad out of here. But Malibuka walks in ping. They are fully wary of what lies ahead. Yeah, and you can see in the mini map acorn a they immediately rotated out with or without the reboot card. A couple more teams rotating in and around this path for Ping walks and Malibuka. Could be opportunities for Elims or more damage, but they see that coming. They want to continue to rotate in right next to them. Queasy, Mustache, Swizzy all trying to get this elevation differential for this next zone. But just above them on the other side of this mountain face, Kannata rapid bolts. They see the crash pad. Mustache, he’s been clipped. Mustache is brought down. Swizzy also incredibly low. They’re going to be forced to drop all the way down. That height security that they were once hoping for, has been completely lost here. Quezy, the healthiest member of his team, but he’s got nobody next to him. He can’t get close to Swizzy. And that’s that investment. What goes around comes around. If you want to sit in storm and fight between first and second place, you want that one to be drawn out. You want to invest everything you have into it. Once you realize that you got to make one of these rotations all the way up the mountain, all of these aimers kind of paying attention to you. You realize quickly you don’t have what it takes to survive in this lobby. Oh my. Second, third, and fourth. They talked about them being out. And now fifth place has just lost their IGL and rapid. And it’s Quezy and Swizzy that are doing the majority of that damage as they try to make their way into the zone. But Queezy can’t get down. He has no mats. They were all on Swizzy and Mustache. They hadn’t had a chance to actually drop any of their materials. He does see a crash pad trying to bring Swizzy up with him. And now Swizzy manages to connect. What a brilliant play from Queezy. Most players would have probably taken that for themselves, but he said, “Nah, nah, you’re coming back up here with me.” That’s just a shine. That’s just a glimpse. That is 7,000 IQ and the selfless plays and why we call him one of the greatest IGL. No, no, no, no, forget that. That’s why we call him one of the greatest Fortnite players in the history of the game. And he’s looking to prove it. If he could just close out these last two games, even with the loss of our stash, they’re still,00 damage above the threshold as they land a couple more shots. Now 1,200 and continuously rolling. But this is a really healthy trio. Cooper, Curly, Reit. I don’t know that that’s what Quez is really looking to chase up. He’s not trying to bark up the wrong tree here after all. They’ve got to be a little bit more reserved here, Vivid. They don’t want to overextend their welcome. I mean, they’re in the mix of things right now. They’ve gotten a couple of shots on a couple of trios right there. Maybe they can make something happen. As I say, that Quezy actually gets knocked. Now it’s going to be all left to Swizzy. Twizzy gets knocked down. First, second, third, fourth. all out of the competition. They at least had some eliminations to go with it. But will it really be enough? A leaderboard will have to wait and tell a different story here. Malabuka walks and ping though fighting a battle of their own. They’re now looking to see if they can overthrow the high ground. Eye drop Cammy Hottie. They’ve been a little bit tagged up here, but it’s Ping who eats the greater bulk of his shields there. Malabuka walks now having to head towards the forefront. They’re looking back. They’re trying to provide some support. They have a slight placement on this side of the mountain and they are looking down and guess who’s underneath them? Peterbot Cold Ritual, Mr. Savage, Captain Reason. So many teams crashing onto this mountain base. A good chunk of the top 10 overall back into the lobby. Even our fifth place team on that leaderboard missing a player and one of the more important ones into Rapid as Phaser, PHN King. They know they’re not in zone just yet. In fact, they might have one of the farthest pulls in the entirety of the lobby with aspect of Kazzy in their path. They want to continue to roll through. Even with the medkits, even with the minis, they realize they are lacking materials and a ton of them. Paying attention to the leaderboard of the last global championship. No minor region teams in the top 10. King of Phaser PH. They’re trying to make that push right now. When you want to talk about a push, Taco Bolts towards the bottom of the mountain. No match to work with. top five as it currently stands. The push is on. What a genius though. Bolts recognizing that the zone’s going to pull over this big Ben tunnel face. He’s going to take a little bit of a harbor safety inside. But King, he’s got literally one HP and a tree. The small shield potion. He’s managed to get it off, but Faser only two builds remain. He can’t keep continuing to hold that leverage over King’s head. Instead, Faser holding on for dear life, but he needs to heal. He won’t get the chance. He’s going to be eaten alive by the lobby. Oh, he props the crash pad, but instead he goes straight up and back to the lobby with that elimination. That one’s going to hurt. But a lot of those rank ups coming in. And that’s an A rank upgrade. That could be fruitful for Bolts underneath who has to start to think, who has to start to act quick because he has only eight builds, no heals in his load out, and no mobility on top of that. as we’re going high up the mountain. Bolts doesn’t even get a chance really to try stop and check. He’s just making sure that he stays concealed towards that backside of zone. But on the high ground, Had FKS, they’ve actually managed to overtake one of the best positions that we’ve seen them in all weekend long. Peterb and Ritual, they don’t want to walk away from this competition without at least putting some sort of a staple into it. They want to show everybody that, hey, listen, we had a tough time off spawn, but when we make it to the end game, we can put on a show. Yeah, Bolts just went down off the side of that mountain. Their run in this game has come to an end. Did they get enough to move into the top four, but Peterbot now battling for it all? And he has by himself. Hold and Ritual are all down below. And he’s done it. He’s gotten the high ground. He’s gotten an elimination. Here he is. He’s finally woken up from his slumber and he’s continuing to pressure down and stealing the high ground away. He joins Ritual and Cold on the other side and takes what theirs. Yesterday, Peterbot said, “It’s my day, y’all.” But today, it’s a whole new beast coming alive here in the final hour. FKS going to be taken out by Ritual aspect as well claiming that series of eliminations. But Cold, Peterbot, and Ritual, they’re now kings of the mountain face. And they might be kings of this lobby if everyone else isn’t careful. There’s still more than half of the placement points still available in this lobby. And I think Reza knows it. That’s why he’s moving to the outside of the zone. He saw three different med kits, a replenished amount of materials, and this could be the difference maker in terms of point differential as that leaderboard goes down below. Malabuka, he’s struggling all around. Rejoins his team. The splashes are coming out, but they’re in the back side of the zone. They’re sacrificing HP to try to catch any team off guard. It’s because of the way that the zone is pulled over this slight bridge of elevation though. Malabuka ping, they don’t have a whole lot of builds. Malabuka is going to be forced to try and play heals, try and acquire whatever placement points are possible. The siphon materials going to give him a little bit of extra time and the two med kits, but still he has to make his way forward and he’s going to have to crash directly into recuper. The moment they head down, they’re taken out by Peterbot. Re just getting targeted from up above. He loses all of his materials. Has no other choice, but another team contest towards the high ground. Cold Ritual and Peterbot. They’re forced scrambling around figuring out a way to reunite. The Flowberry Fizz does come out. That’s Tisco. That’s Striker. That’s Kadu. They’ve taken down NH’s best, but it’s only for so long. Revenge comes in and it comes in quick. Hold gets it down onto one. No siphon just yet. He needs to buy time. No extra build. And he’s facing reason on the other side. But high ground disrupts the foe. Down they go. 3v3 here for the endgame. Cammy hottie. That’s relatively loose because I drop is down. Kadu Striker and Tisco. They could take it all. And this is what the international scene has needed all weekend long. But no, Cammy. Hottie. Cam is not going to be able to make it through. It’s only Tisco Striker and Kadu left the deal with Hottie. But he’ll be forced to charge forward. tries to head towards the high ground, but he just doesn’t have the HP. Kisco just needs one more shot, and he finds it. That’s going to be the first victory royale here this weekend for an international scene. The Brazilian region is on top. They’ve showed up. They reached the top 10 in the leaderboard with a whole another trio. And this is their chance to shine bright. Frankie, we need to know what they’re thinking. We do. We do. And I’m running over right now. This is the most exercise I’ve done all week, but it is worth it. Please, boys, on your feet. We’ve got Ricardo translating for us. Stand up, please. Striker, I need to come to you first. What was going through your mind during that final fight? Uh, the only thought was they needed to win. uh they won the top 10. So that’s the only my that’s everything that we’re talking and that makes a lot of sense because I don’t think a Brazilian team has ever placed inside the top 10 at a Fortnite global land before. Do you think this could be the year? and I’m going to come over here if that’s okay. Sorry, Ricardo. What has this experience been like for you to get a victory royale? Is this like the ultimate prize for you right now? for hot hour. Uh they needed the win. Uh they were in top 15. Uh that was very important here and they came in for the last uh match. Well guys, we cannot wait for the last match after. It has been incredible to have you guys here. Well done for doing it for Brazil, please. Leon fetri. Now, after this last game, we’re going to be crowning a world champion. So, tell your friends, they’re not going to want to miss this. Heat. Heat. N. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Do you get scared or do you feel lost? I can smell fear. I’ve been there before, but you made it through the storm again. You did it on your own again. Goosebumps in your skin. Do you feel what I feel? I’m waiting on you to notice that you got what you wanted. We don’t got time to cry right now. Only got time to focus. Two hits on the wait. I was all damn dangerous. Take a shot, leave me faceless. I was all dead dangerous on a whole different level. I can see why they hating. I was all dead dangerous. I was all dead. You should have noticed I’ been focused. You should have known like you should have noticed I’ been focused. You should have known like that. Better watch your back cuz we aiming at your head. I don’t need a pick me up and I don’t need a rest. Knock down top down. Hit a minute. Pull up with the trio and my eyes on us. Everybody screaming like us. Two hits on the wait. I was armed and dangerous. Take a shot, leave me faceless. I was armed and dangerous on a whole different level. I can see why they hated. I was all dead dangerous. I was all dead. You should have been focused. You should have known. Fortnite fam, I hope that you are locked and loaded because that last game, so many developments. BR coming up, massive 16 elimination victory royale on land. Oh yeah, Brazil, that’s what I like to see. You love to see it, right? You love to see it. I always like it when the sort of smaller regions come out and, you know, come out strong in games. Of course, we didn’t have as many big hitters in that game, right? in terms of the leaderboard. So perfect opportunity for them to do it. And the way they took height here, Kelly was so so good. Even towards the end, they weren’t fighting against anyone that any slouches. It was Cammy and Chari, right? There was a final sort of 3v2. So not easy for them whatsoever. They played really really consistently and something we haven’t necessarily seen from them today. We saw it a little bit yesterday. I think they had a fifth and a third in yesterday’s game. So it’s nice to see them finding that that form right now. I think they listen to our complaints. We were asking why is no one fighting for high ground in day one and then day two. Everyone is fighting for high ground right now and they see there’s all this contention going on the high ground. Why don’t we third party this right now? We are a full trio. We can see that those are wood builds. Players are going down. This is our chance to steal it away from them. It looks so so good. And again, you know, we might not be fighting for first place, but we are fighting for life-changing amounts of money. We’re going to be sending ourselves straight up those standings. Now, of course, guys, wow, that last game, we’ve got to talk about the head-to-head Quezy Mach and Swizzy versus Vana Mach and Pixie. I cannot believe Queezy just said, “You know what? It’s time. It’s time, Minnie. This is giving me flashbacks.” Yeah, this is giving me flashbacks, too. Right. Think back to the Invitational. Queezy and Veno landed on Cammy and Seti. It wasn’t successful. Thinking back to last year’s globals, Quez and Thomas, they had the option to land on Pot Boy to try and disrupt them. They didn’t make the decision to do so. Now, they’re taking matters into their own hands. And traditionally, typically, we see it in game 12. In this game, we saw it in game 11. They they understand how strong Vana’s team is. I mean, they had a 16th in their first game, Vana. Since then, and since, of course, this game, they hadn’t placed outside of sixth. So they had to take them out and had to disrupt their game in any way they could because if Vana, Pixie, Marius, if they make it off spawn into the endame, they know they’re going to get a good game out. Although they did grow that lead just a little bit, it’s a bit of a double-edged sword landing onto Vana or going for Vana because Vana knew the the equation. They knew that they just had to run away. But when you have Quezy chasing you down, there’s only so much you can do. But as they are being chased down, they’re using their mats, they’re using their heals. Everything that they need, everything that they have had to have a successful endgame is now gone. So by taking out second place a little bit early, they themselves got a little bit low on mats, little bit low on heals, and were not able to recover. Can we just talk about how insane? Okay, this is going to super this going to be super nerdy. Okay, super nerdy. When they fight and finally they take him out, they start to make this rotate up the mountain, right? Swizzy gets caught in the storm, makes it out with one HP, and you’re thinking, “Okay, wait a minute. Let’s start looking at what they have.” Queezy has nothing, no builds. Swizzy has everything, one HP. Queezy turns out throws the crash pad down to get Swizzy back in place. Are you kidding me? Queezy, that is the biggest brain play I’ve ever seen in my entire life. And guess what? We have a listen in from that moment. Follow me. Follow me. Follow me. Okay. Everyone have ox, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Follow me. Follow me. We’re going to try something again. Fist. Fist. Fist. Okay. Don’t go in render of empty. Yeah. No. No. Render of Canada. Uh-huh. Go this way. Last one. Last one right now. 30 already. 30 60 50. They probably don’t have that much. We probably have more. We probably have more. We can play one. Yeah. Yeah. Taking a back. I careful. Yeah. I’m dead. Probably. I think I’m I’m out. I’m dead. I’m dead. Okay. Okay. Dead. Dead. Dead. Nice. I got finish. Nice. I got my finish. Play slow. Play slow. Play slow. 100. Nice. Nice. Nice. Let’s go bunker. Let’s go bunker. Then we go bunker. You think the crazy thing about this moment, right? Just think, think about it. If we were to do this again, right? Even though they didn’t get a victory royale, even though they didn’t get top five, they didn’t get all this stuff, they delay, they go on, they slow things down. If we do this again, Mini Miner, imagine even if Squeezy goes down, you’re going to put Va in the same exact position to be in shambles for the remainder of the game. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, but Vana’s team now maybe know that’s coming, right? They could prepare for Quezy’s team to do that and maybe change up their strategy because if Vana take out Quasy, that could be a very, very interesting end game cuz like I mentioned, these guys don’t miss a beat when it comes to the end game. So, they’re going to have a good game. So, I don’t know what’s going to happen. Can’t believe this is this is it, the final game. We’re going to find out who’s going to be coming out on top. Who’s going to be the 2025 global champion? And for it to come down to mate on mate hate. Listen, I think the audience, although it’s a bittersweet moment, they love to see their top teams in the top two spots. Yeah. I mean, obviously, if you’re an MA fan, you’re happy, right? You’re like, “Hey, one of our MA players are going to go on to be global champions, right? So exciting to see. But how does that last game end, right? Do we just take it to the offspawn again? Do we change things up? We play conservative? So many questions in that game though. Something of note that happened. Peterbach Cold and Ritual finding themselves up on the high ground as well with you know they’ve been a quiet for both days and finally there in game number 11. We see him on height. We see him pushing teams kind of what we’ve been used to seeing in majors before this point. Something that we don’t used to see though is Ritual carrying the team with five eliminations with Cold and Peterbot being the fraggers only with one. And of course, as they were able to control that high gong, they do what they do best and they just spray the lobby below them, making sure that although they might be getting low on Mats, they’re still going to be getting those points through eliminations. Yeah, I like the way they play this. Actually, I really want to give a shout out to Ritual and Cole the way they actually played this front side. So, so important right there while Pete was sort of fragging at the back. They held down the front side, making sure that nobody else could take it. really really well played from those two in particular and I think the way that these guys have gone this weekend hasn’t gone their way necessarily. Um but of course in this particular end game they were able to pop off. Remember a lot of our big names that we were seeing on the leader board sort of top five I think were down and out in that end game. So we didn’t see our sort of hype team that we would expect to be in there but still a solid game from these guys. It’s going to push them up in the sense. It’s so good guys. I’m just thinking about this man. I got to see those standings one more time. This is a fight for first and second place right now. It’s a fight for first. Everyone else is fighting for that third place spot. And again, you know, we might not be playing for first, but lifechanging amounts of money. Even flipping down to the second page, right? If we could break up into that top 10. This is going to come down to the last game. Fortnite always be doing this to me. We go, we start day two. It’s Oh, man. It’s going to wrap it up. We know how it goes. Game 12 comes around, says Zeke, hello. We’re Fortnite. You know what we do best. We save it to the very last game. Saving it for the last game is definitely something that we’ve seen time and time again. But to have all of our top teams, third, fourth, fifth, sec, and then second place going down early there makes me a bit nervous. I want to see all of these teams up and alive in the endame. I want it to be close. I want it to come down to the final moments and that might just happen. I hope so. I really hope so. I mean, I’m just thinking about sort of Vana’s position. What would they do in this situation? Is it for them to take it into their own hands? They try and outplay uh Queezy’s team. Do they try and avoid what was going on? I know we had that in that listening right there. We listened to Quezy saying, “We’re going to have more whites than them. We can play the storm, which is exactly why they won that fight.” Sort of watching it just here and I remember saying I was like, “Yeah, they’re going to win the fight cuz they have all these whites, of course, from their drop spot. We broke it down at the beginning of the weekend how powerful that drop spot is. They can get the slurp juices of course from there. All the splashes that they get from there. Super super valuable for them. And now maybe we’re going to see a little bit of a change of strategy for Vana’s team. Do they try and stack the white? Stay back in the storm a little bit. Not too sure how they’re going to play it out, but they have to respond. They have to do something to try and stop this uh this push from Queen. You know what I want to see? I want to see that Victory Royale turn from 000 to 01 to get practically a 5.9 average placement, but still just be so short on claiming that man. I mean, Minnie, what is it? What What can they do? I mean, I think they just have to try and I wouldn’t if I were them try and land on Quze or anything crazy like that because they are so good at end game, right? We haven’t seen the day a day day two that we saw from day one of Quezy, right? We haven’t seen them have that performance that we saw in day number one. So, it’s almost safe to assume that they maybe not have that great performance in this final game like we saw. Maybe they could. It’s queasy. We don’t know. But for Vania’s team, maybe they just play it out. They have to think about that in the back of their mind. What could Quezy do? Uh it’s it’s going to it’s going to be so so close. It all comes down to that. And this is what they are fighting for. That beautiful trophy, but it is not just a physical object. It is an emotional one as well. Being able to come out on top to be able to claim that in front of all of these incredible fans, that is a life-changing experience. You talk about life-changing, I mean picks, Darm, and Deeus, right? Going up against SI, Yapo, and Panzer, and even Rapid, Canada, and Bolts. 500 points out of Rabbit Canad up to 512 in third place picks Darm and Deeus. This could very easy. I mean, guys, just look at this. Right from fifth place all the way up to third place. I cannot stress this enough. This is lifechanging amounts of money. The game isn’t over. Even if we’re excited to see the first place team come out and win, there is still so much we are playing for. Changing a single placement, a single elimination, a single placement point could be the difference. Yeah, it really could. And a team that’s no stranger to that, of course, is Cammy, Char, and I drop. I mean, these guys had a really nice second place right here. Exactly what we’d expect from this trio. Sort of playing low ground really, really well. They did actually end up as a duo as well. It was Drop, I think, that ended up going down, but they played it to perfection. I think they did move up a couple of places in the leaderboard as well here. So, a really nice solid performance from them. Again, we just saw the prize pool breakdown. They’re not going to be getting first place this weekend, but every single placement counts towards such a huge chunk of that prize pool. And Cam and Kar doing what they do best, launching up, trying to take high ground as a solo, as a duo. But of course, it did not go their way. It did go to the way of the Brazilian trio right there. But you do have to give props to them making that effort going for the 2v3. I mean, Pixar and Deus as well as it you mentioned it right there. This is they’re not used to the stage. This is not it’s not their environment, right? This is a team that’s sort of on the come up throughout the entire year. They’ve put in incredible performances and every single time we go into a major, you know, they had an amazing major number one and we were like, “Oh, this is a new team coming into the uh into the grand finals and you know, how are we expecting them to do?” People didn’t necessarily have them up there. Then they were sort of favorites coming into major 2 and three and then they were sort of, you know, there were a lot of questions again, can they do it on the global stage? Is it possible for them to continue this momentum? And it just seems like for that team, every single time a question’s asked of them, they keep delivering. And they’re doing it here today to end in that third place. You saw that prize money. You saw that prize money. But again, remember Kannata Rapid Bolts in that fifth place only 12 points behind. So for these top five from third down to fifth, we’re kind of fighting each other, right? We know what’s happening at the top. Can I say how much I love to see Kannata’s trio in this position all year long a lot of people have just kind of been ignoring them because the story of NAC has been, oh, is it going to be Puyo? Is it going to be Peterbot? Maybe Clicks can finally win a victory royale. And Canada has just kind of fallen by the wayside. That was until this most recent season where he has just been the most consistent team in NA time and time again and then finally in week three winning that diff cup and he was so confident. I actually got to talk to him right before day one. He’s like who do you think’s winning? And I was like, well, who won the last week of champion or the last week of tournaments and he’s like, ah, it’s me. And you know, every single time he is just so confident and I think that really brings so much to the stage to even go down have like a rough end of day one and he just doesn’t let that affect him. Yeah, it’s so crazy, man. I just once again here we are in the getting ready for that last game. My heart is pounding. I’m sure you guys at home are going crazy as well. What are we hoping to see? All right, putting you on the spot. Final game. Give me your hopes, your dreams, your aspirations for this game. You know what I’d love to see? I’d love to see Vana’s team try and land on Quasy stream try and land on Vana and we end up just having a crazy end game where they’re both fighting for height and it’s like a fullon like that excitement takes it through to the entire game. Be so so exciting. Uh that’s what I’d want to see. I don’t know what will happen though. Okay, I like that. I’m going to continue off of that. They both switch drop spots. They both make it to the end game. Queezy on high ground, Vana on low ground. 3v3. Final moment of the game to win it all. Oh my gosh, you guys have got me hyped. I mean, Leon, you guys have got to be feeling this, right? This has been so incredible to hear all of you in the stadium going crazy, getting excited with us, cheering, crying, even booing. I mean, guys, this is such an amazing time. It is so, so good. I’m just so thankful we Oh, uh uh I’m sorry, guys. This is hot off the presses. I I need Benji right now. I need the translator, guys. This is plans for for 2026. Benji, put the headset on. Oh my gosh. What’s happened? This What’s happened? This is for you. I This is hot off the presses. This is what is coming for 2026. We’re going back to duos, Benji. Oh my gosh. in land. Oh my gosh. Reload Elite Series. I don’t even know what that means. Oh my gosh. A million dollar mobile series. mobile tournament. Oh my gosh. Okay. Ranked two 2.0. Ranked 2.0. We’re getting another proam. Benji, he has the most the lands are returning to Europe. LaP games please choice is friends. Oh my gosh. My heart was already pounding. I’m shaking right now. 2026 that is what is coming next year. You saw it. It is here. They apparently went huge. Guys, it is that time. Game number 12 is ready. So, let’s take a moment and make sure we are too. Leon, the finish line is approaching once more, but who will cross it first? The world has heard your noise all weekend long, but you must be louder than you have ever been before. This game is where errors come to an end and new ones are born. This is the last chance to forge legacies. This is where champions are crowned. So, Leon, I’ve got three words for you. Are you ready? That’s a guy. about it. Good. Oh, it get off. jump. Yeah, that’s not what I do. Whatever I do. This He’s just got to stay side by side to hero currently. But Chino, Pablo, and prodoxy, they’ve already got three eliminations on Chino alone. Andy still keeping an open eye out for where Halot is headed next. Hiro and his teammate glad to be a far away from Gino, Pablo, and Veroxy. But these guys could be the real menaces of this lobby. They’re just going to continue to try and get a clean sweep for everyone that comes into their path of fire here. Fory and Pablo really distributing some pain right now. And Hero, he just doesn’t have anything to try and prevent himself from being taken out. Mix in focus. They took notice of what was going down though. They decided to come crashing down on top of Gino. Papa land for Doxy. But Jacob, this is a Fox fight that I don’t know if Gino’s necessarily prepared to take it up, but he’s got so many splashes. He’ll be back to full HP in no time. And this is a team right now to start the game. I know they have 411 points, but they were at 399. Chap, Savage, and Reason 403 above them. I drop and Cammy 434. And then even Ping walks and Malibu have 441. If they continue to play in this pace, get these eliminations and make it deep into the end game. They could overtake some teams on their way up the top of the leaderboard for Pride. Gory and Line in their pockets with that much more money. What they came for as Poxy continues to move forward. Not slowing down and Havad is going to go down. And Proxy’s kind of been calling it out even in the events leading up to this weekend. We know that we’re contested. We know it’s going to be tough. winning likely out of the question for that trio, but they can still put on a strong performance to see what more prizing they can possibly secure. SIF go Panzer 506 only six points shy of picks Darm and Deeus was honestly not too far away from their current drop spot but you’re seeing how stacked the leaderboard is when you kind of drop down outside of that top two or even top three or four for that matter. So it’s going to take a good amount of eliminations if some of these teams on the outside wants to punch into the top five. But better late than never. Could be the final opportunity that they have. As we continue to look around the map, see a lot of the same strategies going down as some of our previous games. Haven’t seen a whole lot of reason in chat. Mr. Savage trying to take up a surgebased position though up against Swizzy Quezy and Mustache. Whether or not this actually pans out in their favor is yet to be determined. But Chap, Mr. Savage, Freezen definitely have had their highlight moments throughout this journey. Yeah, a team that’s definitely had their ups and downs and still we talk about their story making it here. Barely almost missing out on a chance at the grand finals, but it was a one-point differential. They made it in. All they needed was a shot. Two points. They made it in to qualify for the global championship. And now Savage is on the cusp of a potential top five if he can perform well with some eliminations in this game. King Phaser BH in. They faltered. They fell out of the top 10, but they’re just one placing down inside of that top 11. Oh no. Pixie, Vana, Medius. Do they even have any idea of the intention that lies behind Ru, Snowy, and Sod? They’re looking to play massive spoiler here at Oixar headquarters. If they catch Pixie and Vana slipping, Marius racing across overhead right now. They’re just trying to lock in their surge. They’re not really anticipating anybody to be nearby. And even with Ana overhead, they’re so preoccupied with just trading out these bloom battles. Mias, he’s split apart from the rest. Ryu, Snowy Son, a singular 321 could be the difference here. Is Mius going to be able to stay strong? You see, they don’t want to give up the position. We saw Clicks, Hegs, and Yamzo try to do the same thing to Katada looking all around. Marius does not even know. And you can see his load out. He’s the one for his team that’s getting all of that extra material to replenish what they use for that surge base. He’s getting all of those extra heals to consolidate him inside of their tower, but he is also the one that is exposing himself the most. Snowy, sad, Ryu. They were able to close the distance and get inside of the OXR HQ. We’ve got another perspective. Malabuka, Ping, and Walks here at Capactory. They are just chasing down Pixar and Deus. They don’t want to allow these guys the opportunity to try and maintain their position within the top five. Malabuka, Ping, and Glocks going onto the aggressive forefront here. But it’s Ping who’s opening up big shots here onto Deus, forcing him to pull further back inside of the box here. Malibuka ping from a separate direction. Deus darn picks. They’re trying to keep the hopes alive for themselves. Rookies of the year essentially, Jacob, but they still have to break through these veterans. Malabuka’s using his experience not to get caught off guard in these situations. Just trying to spray down a couple of their piece control, get them to expose themselves. But right now, it is going to be a 3v3. But you see at the bottom of your mini map, two teams from the capac factory that could be looking for surge to try to interrupt this one as Demons continues to scramble around. Oh no, 17 HP, two builds left. Walks continues to put down the pressure. Good thing for him. I do believe it was Darm reunited in the same box trying to hold the covers, but that leaves out picks to go down. They isolated the 1 v one. Malabuka, pings and walks are hunting down third place. Darn demons and pigs might be phenomenal fighters, but Malabuka, Bing, and Walks simply having the material counts in their favor. They’ve completely shut off Darm’s entrance back towards Deus. Malabuka trying to see if he can make that wing flank approach. Malabuka though, big tag with an even bigger one on the Darm. Darm’s going to be put down. Elimination after elimination now as Deis meets his demise. Third place might be exclusively up for grabs. It definitely is with how tight that leaderboard is. Pick Darmman Deamis. I just want to give him a huge pat on the back from underdogs to top dogs. These guys looking like a serious threat. Vana, Pixie, and Marius. We saw that team floating around the OXR HQ. They did not get any opportunity to pounce onto Marius. So, they’re going to survive and live to tailto tail and hopefully shoot up that leaderboard. I did see Baya at the very last moment though. He was already setting up for the preeit. So, if Snowy, and Ryu aren’t careful, they’re going to find themselves getting caught completely off guard. Saidi, he might not be a fan favorite this weekend, but he’s still looking to try and take over. Hydro Gam hottie it’s teammates or former teammates I should say just looking to gauge who really got the better end of the deal kind of decisions decisions crash pads launch pads and with seti panzer right in front that is the team currently in fourth place 56 points just shy of getting into another big money spot of the top three mustache queasy even with his pulling so far towards the south. They know it’s very very important for them to get their storm surge first and then they throw one of those upgraded launch pads down. They hit the flowberry fizz and they cover over a,000 meters quickly. But as we tune in, Cold is already down. Peterbot on the back foot, but it’s actually Ritual that fell. Him and Cold, the two best fraggers in all of NA have a chance to fight back, but it’s Malabuka Watson and Pings on the other side. Sedi, Panzer, Yapo, they’re in the mix as well. And one more team towards the north. And a sandwich between some of EU’s best and Peterbot Cold. They know what kind of a pickle they’re truly in. Peterbot’s got a couple of preheaded setup already, but he knows he just needs to escape. Every dog has his day. And this one, he doesn’t want to find himself losing the bone that was thrown him in the last lobby because they got a better placement than what they’d expected. But uhoh, obviously they’re going to try to crash pad up. They just dodge the disaster somehow. Peterbot, he gets the audio Q. Great damage towards the backside. Just a sliver of HP remaining. But you see them kind of second guessing the decision. They don’t know exactly who that is hiding there. So them being two versus the three. They have to figure out if they want to push this or not. But good opening opportunity with damage. They’re creeping closer and closer. And whether the crowd likes it or not, Peterbot and Cold Ritual, they’ve actually had a pretty incredible day two performance, Jacob, they have completely leaprogged their way up the leaderboard and they’re clearly still intent on just trying to see how far they can really go. They’ve gotten so much prizing from NAC throughout the entirety of this year, but now on the global stage, Peterbot Cold as a duo, they might still be looking to bring back into this one. Yeah, you got to think that they do have that reboot card. They’re kind of belinging it over towards Dystopia, but they have to be careful. Bakups and pump are already there trying to get scraps. They go back on over to Rangers Ruin for Pablo Gino. They got the boss down. The queen is no more. And you’re seeing what that does. Not only do they get that OXR rank, but multiple slurp juices splashes that they can use. They already have 419 points. They can only go up from here. But we’re looking at one of the only teams in this lobby that’s truly capable of finding those huge elimination wins. And still, Jacob, this is one of the best move loadouts that we have seen for Doxy working with. He even admitted to it yesterday on socials. He’s like, “Look what happens when I finally get a load out to work with.” And again, even though it’s the last lobby, they have zero hopes of slowing down here. And every placing down that leaderboard just gets more and more money, I should say upside. You got 450,000 for first place, 300,000 for second, 225,000 for third. And that’s just kind of a showing of like every placing you go up. Even if you might not be able to win, can be a lifechanging amount of money. As Peterbots’s going to go down to Victor V yet again. Victor V. That’s like his second time or even more in this tournament taking down beat himself even with ritual back a sliver of HP forcing out the splash as cold and him have to reunite and figure out a way to get their teammate back. Victor V might be the real Peter Bike counter now that he’s on zero ping. People forget Victor V when he’s playing on West he’s tackling on 60 ping. So now we’re getting to watch an elite young frager on the come up. so excited to see where this goes next because even though the weekend hasn’t necessarily shaped up to the position they wanted to be in, they’ve still got a lot of fight left in them. That’s kind of how they have bro. He just trying to fire off. He’s just hoping that his aim is better than the distance they can cover. But no, no full damage. Basically taking himself out the full trio looking to run him down. They do have a chance though. We saw Cold. We saw Ritual go back to Dystopia. Does he go and see Swizzy mustache and Queezy yet again accessing the bunker not too far away from the hive just outside of Rangers Ruin and Foxy Floodgates. And they now have the mythic. They have the medallion. They have the exotic. And they have time here to let every other team pass them on the zone and fight each other. Victor B just picking up where he left off. Unfortunately, Ritual just not healthy enough to stay on both of his feet. He’s just going to be tackled. It’s only Cold left alive from that trio. And now Victor V, he’ll have the opportunity to heal. But not only that, four eliminations. It’s so much surge. And Jacob realistically Epic, he’s trying to help make the calls alongside Paper. They still want to keep pushing forward. But Ryu, he’s going to bring down Epic. Will Victor B now looking to give a little bit of backup here to a support player, but Victor B, he’s stuck in a one versus two situation. They’re trying to close in onto the primary fragger here, but Victor V pop pops got to be going crazy watching his son pop off in the crowd without any builds. I’m not too worried. He does have that medallion. The double jump. It also negates fall damage as he quickly reunites with Paper on the other side. That’s what they’re going to start thinking about. How many builds that they have, what do they need to get, but they don’t have time. They’re immediately getting jumped on. One v3 multiple angles. Victor B still making plays. Slides out of those builds. Paper still stuck. He’s still trying to figure out an answer to the onslaught. that’s in his way. He continues to fight back. Ryu though almost full HP when it comes to the shield as well. Paper, no knock. Victor V is down. The full trio is out of here. Little bit of tragedy has struck there for Victor V. Paper and Epic Whale, but they still did enough. They left Cole in such an awful position. He’s still got to try and work his way out of that location. Gino, Pablo, and Doxy. Look at the elimination. Jacob already at eight. They have one goal in sight and that is to jump force their way into the top five. There’s only one way to get some points in this game. You cannot expect the teams above you on that leaderboard to go down early. The level of competition inside of the top 10, I feel like, has never been higher. So, you have to start to take matters into your own hands. And this is one of those teams for Doxy specifically that will play to win. He will make or break himself. He’s not going to go down with at least trying. And that’s how they found those eight eliminations. But Clicks and Higs, you see them lurking around trying to grab those extra bandages, the heals. This is going to be a two tick zone. Clicks, pigs, they might just be looking to try and play for the reboot. They have no idea that Chino Pablo and have already made their way back over to Rangers Ruin. They are creeping up on them and Higs clicks. They’re just so exposed. Holding my breath watching this, Jacob, because I know it’s only a matter of time before the 321 comes through, but Higs, he nearly puts up the defense, but it’s just not enough. Higs is going to be not Clicks scattered left to try and fend for himself. But with three healthy players out of EU’s powerhouse, they’ll be put down and clicks eliminated. Gino, Pablo, and Foxy hit their first double digit. This might be game 12, but they’re not out of gas just yet. When it comes to eliminations, Taco, they have 40 points on straight eliminations alone. We haven’t even touched those placement points yet. They’re shooting up the leaderboard faster than ever. I talked about the prize money differential and that’s exactly what they’re after. Canada, Rapid, and Bolts, the same thing for them to start the game. They were in about fifth place, but hot on their heels. There’s so many teams trying to get aggressive to get those points. See in the distance, second place, Vanyam, Narius, and Pixie not going for the high ground just yet. six zone. More than half of the game left still to play. This is where players really have to test their composure, the mental fortitude, the emotional control. It’s so easy to want to hit the autopilot if you’re in Quezy’s position. You start to see the lights. You start to think that could be us, our name. The crowd is chanting, but the same case scenario for Vana as well. They’re still looking to try and overtake first place. And if for Stash, Swizzy, and Queezy get lobby focus, that could be the ultimate difference maker. But instead, Swizzy fires back. It’s going to be a take down. The elimination couldn’t have come at a better time. And that’s four more points for them, inching themselves closer and closer to it being mathematically impossible for anybody to catch up. But again, no placement points just yet. that can truly shake things up, especially since they have a max pull across the map and a few teams trying to make and mirror that same rotation. First comes the crash pad, then the floatberry fizz, and they can continue that rotation until they make the zone. But Taco, more than half of this zone is over open water. Not only that, but Swizzy Queezy and Mach, they are white line crash padding straight towards the next zone. the fact that nobody has taken a shot at them along the way. It’s a bold maneuver, but it pans out heavily in their favor and they’re continuing to scale their way down. We saw Ritual get eliminated yet again. Zaster striking for some teams in front of Quezy, but better still. Si, Panzer, and Yapo, they’ve still got a lot to settle here in this lobby. They find another elimination onto adapter. Malor already taken care of by Visuals and a Minish, but Braves on the other side of these walls. Said he can’t continue pressing forward. They’re stuck inside their own build. That is until Yako finds the elimination onto Visuals. Yeah, much needed elimination as well. They were only eight damage above the threshold. That’s not a feeling of comfortability at all. Now they go from 300, but dropping back down low. That just goes to show how active this lobby actually is. But they continue to steamroll our staff. Twizzy and Quezy find their third elimination of the game. Taking down NA West. And you know that Vaas, they can see it all in the elimination feed. Three additional elims for Swizzy, Mustache, and Queezy. They have so much ground to cover just from placement points alone. And the Elims are doing them no favors whatsoever. But Mustache, Swizzy, it’s like Queezy told them, just be off the leash. Do whatever you want. Just find those eliminations. Oh, there it goes. School trying to drop down low. He’s the first one to get knocked. Sao followed in that trend. He was trying to be a hero, but ends up a zero, leaving Arc all by himself. That’s a ton of pressure for one of the youngest, one of the most aggressive players on his region. But active surge for Bars, Pump, and Baka. and 36 below the damage threshold. It does not matter if they have high ground if they can’t utilize it. And nobody’s giving them any peaks. So, they’re going to go ahead and utilize that Fizz to get a triple heal going out. They’re stuck looking to heal instead of being able to look for tags. Malibuka Watson ping put on so much pressure, but now that they made their rotation were a little bit exposed. Not sure that was enough for Baka, pars, and pump to get across the finish line there from the third threshold. And now the medkit comes out. Baka doesn’t have anything to work with. It’s just those couple of crash pads. He might as well leave him somewhere for his teammate to pick up. But Pars just looking at this load out. Jacobs, he’s got barely anything to work with. Zero ammo in his AR. It’s literally just 19 shots in that wreck revolver. Luckily for him, he at the bare minimum has pump on his team. underneath sharks in the ocean. They’re ready to take a bite out of NA West, but Malibu is trying to beat him first. They crash pad towards the high ground and they solidify it while surge reactivates. Down goes pump. Pars is now officially on the clock, which runs out and he’s out of the game for good. But these audio cues aren’t doing Malibuka’s team any favors because for Gino Pablo directly underneath more than happy to see if they can close in. They knew that there were weakened trios directly above them but they just want to see how bad off are they really. They’re still trailing underneath but watch Malabuka attempting to hold height. They might only be a duo Jacob but they have so much surge. 62 points. That’s the difference between first and second place. And it’s time is truly running out. They have to make sure Queezy, Mustache, and Swizzy somehow go down outside of the top eight. As they continue to move through, it’s becoming more and more impossible. There’s 600 plus damage above the threshold. They’re looking down to the back side of zone trying to figure out where the weakness is for any of these trios trying to rotate in. Even with Panata down below, they’re lurking. No visual audios. But if you look at the sky, that’s Marius, Bana, and Pixie. But they lose Bana throughout this mix. They’re on that middle ground where all the chaos ensues. Va just barely managing to start to get his life back up to a healthy level. Swizzy for Stash Queasy though they see the high ground. They’re starting to go for the chomp. Malibuka going to be forced to drop eventually. But can Malabuka even get down in the first place? I don’t think so. He’s a victim of the lobby now. Swizzy Quezy, they don’t hesitate. They’re immediately surging upwards. They know height domination is where the thrill will be tested. on the high ground right now. They’re getting challenged, but they’re fighting for it all. It’s Pixie. It’s various and Vana if they want the win. This is the moment right here. Swizzy goes down for Stash have fallen. It is all up to Greasy and Taco. There are more than enough points still left on the board for them to overtake the first place spot, but they have to survive. Vana goes down. Marius, Santa have to pop that slurp juice and reunite with Pixie. But where’s Quezy? Pixie and Mius, they’re so incredibly low. They’re not going to be able to save Vana. They’ll at least get everything that he has to offer at the final moment. But Mia’s Pixie as a duo. They’ve got to find Quezy. They don’t know where he’s gone off to. Si in the low ground. If Martas and Pixie aren’t careful, they might run smack dab into the center of where all the congestion is building at, but they’re crash patting up. They’re trying to get back on the height. They know what is in front of them and they want to take it by force. They already have second place locked in. It’s all or nothing. Down goes BH in. But no, Marius is now down as well. Pixie with the pressure on his shoulders. You got to remember though, Quezy is down. They are 50 points shy. He needs the win, but he gets denied. Mustache, Quezy, and Swizzy have done it. It was the final moment. It was going to be so bittersweet no matter the outcome for the gentle mates here, Jacob. But Queezy has finally overcome. The GOAT debate has been settled. He is the GOAT of Fortnite when it comes to IGLing and as a player in general. And he’s got two goats with him. It’s Swizzy and Mer Stash. But there’s still hundreds of thousands of dollars split between these teams still left alive. A good chunk of them at the top of the leaderboard, including Pablo, who’s trying to have that solo round, but that one gets ended and rather quickly as he was by himself. That was Sedi and Yapo. They’re one of three teams left alive. Panzer’s trying to move in. 20 HP. He’s quickly running out of builds. Si as well, but he’s going to go out. Cammy, his invitational partner, has done it again. He ends his show. He said, “No, you will not pass me. You will not take my money.” as Cooper and Curley are still down below. 2v3 situation. 3v1. I drop Gari and Cammy win the final game of the day. What an impossibly crazy finish. Nobody could have possibly anticipated that it would all come down to this final match. In day one, we saw Swizzy and Mustache leading the charge. They had such a monumental lead over the entirety of the lobby, but it still all came down to the wire. They knew it was a marathon from the get-go, but they sprinted across the finish line to claim the title as your 2025 global champions. A year long journey just to get to this point. 12 games, almost 700 points, three victory royals. They have done it. It almost seems as if it hasn’t even fully keyed in yet. For Stash and Swizzy, they’re letting everyone here in Leo know it’s Gentle Mates. It’s Twisted Queezy bringing home the title. Fellas, lift that trophy high. A day for shopy mustache and mustache. You have been to so many of these global events. You’ve never placed inside the top 10. How does it feel to be a global champion? It feels nice and I can’t believe it still like we’ve been playing this year. We played so bad every grants. We should have won every grants, but now this is the day when we won. You might not have won an FNCS major final in 2025, but that doesn’t matter right now. You are the best team in the world. Quasi, you are the greatest IGL Fortnite has ever seen. Can you believe it? I mean, after today’s performance, I don’t know about that, but I mean, we pulled through. We got it. So, that’s all that matters. Well, talk to me about today. Yesterday, we were all saying this trophy was surely yours, but this morning, those first three games, they didn’t go your way. Did you think you were going to have to settle for second place again? No. Um, I was playing only for first. That’s why we did what we did at game 11. And I mean, shout out to them because uh we went into this like thinking like 99% we’re going to win and it pushed it to the last game. So shout out to Bx Trio. Like I don’t even know. They did amazing guys. I’m with Swizzy. I saw I saw the real tears in your eyes. How do you feel? I feel amazing. Last year I couldn’t play with my now I’m here and I win. Good luck for the for the future. Guys, I have to ask what makes this a worldbeating team? Them two just fragging ability. I mean they solo clutched the game 11 2v3. I don’t know. I try to do my best today. I feel like I underperformed by a lot, but they pulled through and they got me the win. Well, you’re not going to think about that anymore because you guys have a trophy to lift. Guys, please take your position to Lemon. Please, one more time, give it up for your 2025 night global champion. It’s Queezy Twizzy and Mash. I cannot believe it. In this moment, your global champions queasy swizzy mustache taking it all the way to game number 12. To think, Kelly, at the beginning of this year, this trio formed and we thought, “What the heck are you talking about? This sounds like a high caliber trio to qualify to bring it here to push everyone else on land to their very limits and now to walk away global champions. Guys, how does it feel? Swizzy, I want to start with you, bro. Anytime that you guys have performed well and we the camera’s been on you, you you feel like a a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. Those emotions flood through you. mile big. How does this moment feel right now? It feel amazing. I think I did the most mentality in our team. Like I saw their face our our first game and I say like guys dude and you said yourself right the fact that past times you’ve not been able to play with your actual teammates. The moment you get to play with your actual trio you win the global championship. Yeah. Queasy going all the way back to the invitational. So close to claiming that first place spot, but you walk away in second. Last year, the same situation happens and finally you claim your rightful spot as a global champion. What has that journey been like starting all the way back in 2022? I don’t even know. I mean from invitational literally like before game 12 I said guys please let’s not make you the same thing again and I mean we did it finally so it’s a crazy feeling dash brother I mean you’ve been hearing it for 2 days now they see you on screen this crowd goes crazy did that push you forward did that make you more nervous anyway in any way not going to lie I want to say thank everyone who came here who supported us and because it meant so much for us. I think gave me confidence at least in first day. So yeah, I want to thank to everyone who came here and support us. All right, we got to talk about essentially the winning moment for you guys in game 11. I want to know what was going through the comps, whose idea was it, and how were you able to execute it? Um, basically half break we went to View. We watched zones. We were figuring out cuz day one our game plan was to get medal in bunkers. Game day two the bunkers were gone. Two of the games we ran for it. They got taken before we could get there and kind of mess up our game. And after I watched the VODs, we were supposed to go Foxy, but I said if it pulls the same I saw Vana tanking like Medmiss and Storm and then padding. So I try to I try to like go towards him and wait for him to pad and kill him out the air. That was the the plan. But yeah, I mean obviously it worked out in your favor going for second place right there. Quezy, that is why you are regarded as one of the best IGL’s in the world. I mean and look Queezy, I don’t know why you’re down on yourself right now. I mean Swizzy mustache, this guy’s been your IGL and he’s not giving himself the props that he rightfully has earned. I saw you walk up to that trophy and shed a tear. I saw you smile big when you lifted it, brother. You’re a global champion. And not only that, you’ve got EU their first global championship title right here, right now. Leon, make some noise for Swizzy Quezy Mustache. Forever in history, you guys have made a moment in Fortnite. Thank you guys so much. We’re going to let you guys go. Take this trophy. Get out of here. Go celebrate global champions. Congratulations again. You can leave your headsets here. Get out of here, guys. Come on, Leo. Make some more noise. Congratulations. Come here. Oh my god. Good question. Good job you guys. That’s that way right there. Yo, congrats Queezy. Man, I I cannot believe it. I cannot believe once again Fortnite does it, Kelly. Game number 12 pushed to the absolute brink. It was one in game number 11, right? Taking it as far to landing on Vana and basically putting them in a situation. Hey, cuz you know, you think about it, right, Minnie? you would think about, okay, maybe game 12 is that time, but no, they they’re one step ahead. Game 11, let’s push them to the very brink, game 11, because that gives us game 12 as a buffer. And because of that, many, they are now global champions. Incredible stuff. Absolutely incredible stuff. Think back to Quezy Chapter 2, Season 6, FNCS win. First FNCS win. Then of course we go to the invitational. The allimp important moment that we remember from that time. Second place in that in that tournament. Made a big play, didn’t work out. Then he goes on to get six out of 12 wins in grand finals with Veno. A a record-breaking performance. And then last year with Thomas HD coming so so close to taking home the title. He has done it and it I couldn’t be more happy for him. He deserves it so much. It’s the final thing ticked off on his list. He hasn’t got the land win yet, Kelly. But now he’s finally there. It’s I mean, this is a story that hasn’t even just been building up from the start of this year. It’s been building up since the start of Fortnite. And there is no person better to finally grab that global champion than Queezy. Everyone, even before day one, before they got the backto backto back victory royals, said that Queezy is the best land player in the world. And he said, “Let me make honest people out of everyone that is believing in me.” And we got to talk to so many people saying, “Who do you think has to win it all?” And Queezy’s name was brought up time and time again. I mean, and again, Quzy, when you wake up tomorrow and you start to doubt yourself, look yourself in the mirror and think, “I am a global champion.” And let that doubt fade away forever. Brother, you guys have done something incredible here. you have made this crowd roar. If if there are any M8 fans, you know, they’re also going crazy. The fact M8 came out in that number one spot. But don’t forget other players, other trios were fighting for that prize money. Let’s take a look how things ended. We saw there early on in the game. Pixie fell, but in the end there, it looks like paper uh Panther, excuse me, STI Japo come out in third place. I kept saying, “Kannata, now’s the moment.” But SETI said, “Hold on, hold on. We’re gonna make sure that uh Globals 2025 is dominated by EU.” Yeah, what a performance from SEI, Panzer, and Yapco. Really, really great. They played the meta really well all weekend. Fixed a couple of issues they might have had. You know, we were looking at them this weekend. They were contested. A lot of people had them written off, but no, they put on an absolute display of excellence all weekend. And really happy for them to get third dev. Listen, as the NA representative on this desk, I do have to give a shout out to Canada Rapid and Bolts holding it strong in fifth place for North America. And a lot of people said, would you have expected Kannata to be the one to represent NA on top? And I say every time, yes. He is one of the best players in the world, the only player in the world to go to every single grand finals. To see him represent his region like that, it just makes me so happy. Yeah. I mean, obviously, NA, we’re gonna have to come together, okay? Group huddle after this because 2026, we know we’re making a return to Europe. Uh, we’re going we’re going to need to show up there, but it’s fine. EU, you guys could have one. That’s fine. We still have two at the end of the day. Uh, my friends, uh, final kind of closing thoughts after the weekend before we kind of start wrapping up and saying goodbye. I mean, what a weekend overall. Uh, the atmosphere here has been absolutely electric. All the fans here have put on an incredible display themselves, right? let alone the players on that stage. Every single one of them put everything into preparing for this event. Of course, playing this weekend as well in front of a crowd which at times wasn’t necessarily as positive towards some of the players, but they showed grit. They showed determination and they showed that they can pull through. And this I think has been my favorite globals 100%. There is so many moving pieces that go into a global championships. beyond the players, beyond us, there is just so many people involved that want to make sure that we bring the best show possible. And I think we did that this weekend. And a lot of that is due to the incredible fans that we had supporting, making sure that they made so much noise because they know that the global championship only happens one time a year. So, if it’s going to happen now, we’re going to make some noise. Oh, man. Yeah. Thank you so much, Leon, for all all your love and support. You guys have truly made this something special. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, as we start getting ready to say goodbye, let’s get the rest of the crew in here. And of course, you know, I want to get the crew, the French commentators who kind of helped bring this whole thing to life in venue. Fortnite fam, thank you so much. A big thank you to the players. A couple things before we go. Don’t forget double XP going on till Monday. Hop in, get yourself all that XP. Make sure you play. So much to play for. You heard the news for 2026. It’s about to be crazy. Uh but as always, until then, we love you. Keep yourself safe and we’ll see you on that battle bus. Ding down. Let’s go. Murder. Murder. Hey, hey, hey.
