In todays video I will be recapping the Eval cup. How did Clix's trio break a world record? I will also be talking about the new update and how it has changed the meta. Is the new shotgun good?

GamingTranscript
00:00Another tournament and even more drama on NA.
00:02We now have Kanata, Bugha, and Threat splitting up as a trio.
00:06I want to talk about who they're playing with and who is now dropping Seaport City.
00:09We had Clix setting a world record in today's finals.
00:12And I want to talk about what's going on with the new update.
00:15What are the new guns?
00:15What is in competitive?
00:16And which one should you be using?
00:18We also have potential of a new trio on the horizon for Mr. Savage.
00:22So there's a lot to talk about.
00:24Let's jump into it.
00:25All right, before the insane performance from Clix's world record tournament,
00:29let's talk about the update.
00:30This actually put a fair bit of stuff into competitive.
00:32One change that went into competitive that I'm very happy to announce did not stick
00:36was the Sticky Launcher.
00:37The Sticky Launcher somehow found its way into tournaments.
00:40It was a bug.
00:41You could tell it was a bug.
00:42It was only dropping out of the heist bags.
00:44I reached out to Osirian.
00:45They told me they switched out the heist bags in casual and competitive
00:48and forgot to split them.
00:50Unfortunately, the EU eval had to play with the Sticky Launcher,
00:53and then it got vaulted.
00:54So thankfully, that is not in competitive.
00:56But there are a few changes that are.
00:57So firstly, we have the new Pump and Dump Shotgun SMG gun thing.
01:02Didn't see a lot of pros using it today.
01:03Flixy was probably the most noticeable player.
01:05I saw running it every single game.
01:07I actually even got Veno to jump into a call to try to explain to me
01:10why they were running it, how they felt it went.
01:12He said, look, it's probably not the best.
01:14There is some unique plays that you can make with it.
01:16Reese helps made some cool content and how you can like
01:18pump pre-fire wall, jump in SMG spray.
01:20One of the biggest complaints a lot of people have is actually easily fix the settings.
01:23A lot of people saying it feels awkward because they go to edit and then pump,
01:27but it's the wrong button.
01:28They're used to editing and then instantly pressing left click.
01:30You can actually go to your settings and change this,
01:32because right now the pump is on right click and the SMG is on left.
01:35If you go into your settings, it's actually the fourth tab in your settings.
01:38You go down to combat.
01:39There is an option to switch the input.
01:41You turn that from on to off.
01:42And then you are now having left click as the pump.
01:45This could help you guys who are trying to use it.
01:46But overall, not a lot of pros using it.
01:48Its biggest strength is actually the structure damage.
01:51It does insane structure damage if you hold down the SMG and shotgun consistently,
01:55especially on high ground.
01:56I saw Predage, the Italian pro, using it for this purpose.
01:59I just don't see it being that good of an item.
02:02We have really, really good assault rifles, suppressed pistols.
02:05We have really good follow-up weapons to what is already a great pump,
02:08the Sentinel pump shotgun.
02:09So I just don't really see a world where you run this item,
02:12unless you maybe want to run like one gun, which is the, you know, the pump and dump,
02:16and then triple meds and mobility.
02:18But you lose out on so much fighting potential to gain.
02:21Not really that much, because again, the meds are so strong.
02:24You can hold a whole chug jug or six blasts.
02:26You don't really need triple meds.
02:28So I think it's a cool weapon that's a little bit unique,
02:30and I think in different meds, it might fit in a little bit better.
02:32There'll probably be some pro who comes up with some crazy strategy
02:35that's super broken.
02:36I'm completely wrong.
02:37But right now, I just watched 12 hours of competitive Fortnite,
02:40the EVAL Cup on both EU and NA,
02:42and almost no one was consistently running it.
02:44And those who were, I wasn't really seeing them do anything
02:47they couldn't have just done with a regular pump and assault rifle.
02:50Speaking of pumps, we have the Outlaw shotgun,
02:52which is kind of like a play at trying to replace the pump or a different weapon.
02:56It's a two-shot shotgun,
02:57but instead of being the only shotgun, it's the opposite.
02:59Instead of being long-range, tight bullet spread,
03:01it's close-range, very big bullet spread.
03:03You guys who've been watching my content for a while know
03:05I'm a sucker for just an absolute barrel stuff up and close shotgun.
03:09The double barrel, and especially the Dragon's Breath,
03:11are two weapons I absolutely love.
03:13I know I'm a boomer.
03:14It's a very strange opinion that I have.
03:16I love them.
03:16I think they're cool.
03:17They're unique.
03:18They're really fun.
03:18So super excited to see this gun,
03:20but it's just, it's not that great.
03:22I'm gonna be honest.
03:22The reload time on it's really fast.
03:24The two shots isn't a huge issue,
03:25but it just doesn't put down enough damage consistently.
03:28And if you verse any good opponent with it,
03:30they just play range.
03:31They play a box or two back,
03:32and you just can't do anything against the pump
03:34that basically hits just as hard point blank anyway.
03:37Again, because follow-up weapons are so good this season,
03:40you're better off just hitting a big max damage pump shot
03:42or even like a half damage pump shot,
03:44and then swapping to an AR or pistol or SMG and finish them off
03:47rather than trying to shoot this shotgun twice
03:50that doesn't even hit that hard,
03:51even if you hit max damage with massive bullet spread.
03:53So unfortunately,
03:54it's not really gonna change too much of the meta either.
03:56I feel like in another meta, it could be quite effective.
03:58But right now, I mean, if you pick it up off spawn,
04:00it's not absolutely terrible.
04:02It's not the worst item.
04:03I'd still prefer it over the auto shotgun,
04:05but right now the ranking for shotguns is very much still
04:08Sentinel pump is by far the best.
04:10I think maybe you could argue the pump and dump is second,
04:13depending on how you use it,
04:14but that's a big maybe.
04:15Then I'd say the outlaw shotgun and then the auto shotgun.
04:17So it hasn't really changed that much.
04:20One item that definitely would have changed the competitive meta,
04:23but was not added into competitive is the rocket drill.
04:26It is pretty much just the rocket ram.
04:28It does actually look slightly worse than the rocket ram
04:30because you kind of get stuck up against walls
04:32because you're farming the wall
04:34rather than like breaking straight through it
04:35like the rocket ram,
04:36which I think actually makes it slightly worse.
04:38If it was in competitive,
04:39getting stuck on walls,
04:40so you can get pre-fired or beamed across the map
04:42would have nerfed it a little bit,
04:43but overall, it would have been a new type of mobility,
04:45which a lot of people are begging for,
04:47especially in solos.
04:48But for whatever reason,
04:49Fortnite decided to not put it in competitive.
04:51It is only going to be in pubs and ranks.
04:53Now, to make up for that though,
04:55one thing that is also going to rank
04:57that a lot of people have been asking for
04:58for a very long time is Syphon.
05:00Syphon is now in ranks.
05:01A lot of people are noticing
05:02that there seems to be a response to the fact
05:04that the rank numbers are dropping right now,
05:06which I think actually goes very hand in hand
05:08with the sticky grenade launcher
05:10and just some of the goofy items in general.
05:12We've had this conversation on this stream a million times.
05:15Why the loot pool is not just tournament loot pool
05:18for the game mode that's meant to be competitive.
05:20So people have a place to go and sweat and try hard,
05:23and then they can just go into pubs
05:24for all the goofy fun stuff.
05:25I don't know.
05:26Why Fortnite wants rank to be this weird hybrid
05:28where there's some of the goofy items
05:29like the sticky grenade launcher
05:31that are just really not fun to verse,
05:33but then it's not fully like pubs.
05:34It just, it creates a weird middle ground
05:36where I do truly think rank numbers would increase
05:39if it was the competitive tournament loot pool,
05:41and that is it.
05:42But Fortnite has the data.
05:43They have the stats.
05:44There's a lot of people out there who grind ranked,
05:46who have no desire to play tournaments,
05:47who find tournaments way too sweaty,
05:49and they just like the idea of playing with the fun items,
05:51but having something else in the line.
05:52I get that, but I think the ranked player count dropping,
05:55I don't think Syphon is going to help with it that much
05:57when there is still items like the sticky grenade launcher
05:59that players are just trying to avoid
06:01and don't want to touch if they can avoid it.
06:03We have a couple of things that almost definitely,
06:05in my opinion, should stay in pubs or ranked,
06:08but have somehow made their way into competitive.
06:10First off, we have the gold llama.
06:12There are now gold llamas around the map.
06:14They're not super crazy.
06:15If you find them, they give you max material.
06:16They give you meds,
06:17but they also give you an insane amount of gold and dill bits.
06:20Now, this isn't a huge issue.
06:21It's basically like finding a vault,
06:23but anyone can find out in the open.
06:24That's not so bad,
06:26but the improved reboot scares me a lot.
06:29This is coming out next week, apparently.
06:31The improved reboot is you can spend 1000 gold
06:33and reboot both of your teammates,
06:35even without their reboot cards,
06:37and they're going to come back with shield and an assault rifle.
06:41It's just like we want Pete to win FNCS.
06:44We're just giving Pete the FNCS.
06:46Not only that, they've added the mythic pump shotgun to the train.
06:49So now Veno and Pete's team both get a mythic gold pump every single game.
06:55I know I'm singling out Pete here.
06:56This is basically beneficial for any team that drops a vault PY
07:00and doesn't get to spend all their gold.
07:01Most of the teams are at Magic Moss to spend all the gold on meds.
07:04Some of them have a little bit left over,
07:05but if you're a team that drops a drop consistently
07:08and you get a bunch of gold and you want value out of that gold,
07:11this buying reboot is going to be so unbelievably strong.
07:14And again, the reason why I point out Pete
07:16is because one of the main ways to stop these big teams with WKing like crazy
07:19is occasionally actually dying.
07:21They actually go down and they can't win every single game.
07:24But if you can just buy reboots back with gold,
07:26they've reboot back in with shield and an assault rifle
07:29and they still have their gold
07:30so they can go to the black market and buy all these crazy weapons.
07:33It just feels like even dying in Fortnite right now
07:36doesn't matter as long as you're rich enough.
07:38Outside of that, I think that covers the update pretty well.
07:41We had some new skins, cosmetics.
07:42There is a new area on the map.
07:44It's kind of like a mini PY.
07:45There's now a server farm over near the new area of the map
07:47that has a bit of loot in it, has some metal, has some material.
07:50Not changing up too much,
07:51but I believe that pretty much covers most of the update.
07:53Overall, pretty W update.
07:55I like it.
07:56It's added enough cool stuff to kind of add some intrigue
07:58and some excitement to the season,
07:59but not completely changed and shifted the meta.
08:02I think some people were hoping for a complete change in the meta,
08:04especially by adding mobility.
08:06I'm getting more and more okay with just the baseball bat,
08:09gold splash running mobility loadout, at least in trios.
08:13I think solos definitely need something
08:14because the solo meta right now is extremely frustrating,
08:17but I'm not totally against the trio meta.
08:19I'm actually enjoying it.
08:20I do like this update,
08:21and I think overall we're cooking with this season right now.
08:23All right, let's talk about the world record performance
08:27from Clix in the EVAL Cup today.
08:28When I talk about E,
08:29I'm going to talk about some of the new trios who struggled
08:31and why I think this is going to be really exciting for MrSavage,
08:33but we'll kick off with NA because we have Clix,
08:35Batman Booga, and Neomzo winning three of four matches,
08:39getting an 11 kill win, 5 kill win, 7 kill win,
08:42and then a 4 kill 9th.
08:43Absolutely popping off.
08:45Clix's playstyle is so suited to these victory cup games.
08:48I will say we're getting a lot of love for Clix's team
08:50from the pros on EU.
08:51We've now had Queezy mention that he thinks Clix's trio
08:54is the most synergized trio he has ever seen,
08:56playing so well together, playing off each other,
08:58fighting extremely well.
08:59The way they play end games is so dialed in.
09:02We now even have Swizzy, again, EU FNCS champion,
09:05just won the Div 1 Cup Final,
09:06saying that he thinks Clix's team is going to win NA FNCS.
09:10So when people keep calling me out,
09:11they're always talking about Clix winning FNCS.
09:13He's never going to win, it's just clickbait.
09:15Some of the best players in the world are recognizing
09:17how well Clix is playing right now.
09:19Now, we had Seek, Taki, and Eshoo win the fourth game.
09:22They got a 10 ELIM win.
09:23They also got a 5 ELIM 3rd and an 8 ELIM 8th.
09:26I think this team is being very slept on,
09:27especially Seek in solos.
09:29Now, where is Cold, PeterBot, and Poyo?
09:31Whenever we talk about NA, we talk about who's doing well.
09:34Gotta talk about Cold, Poyo, and PeterBot.
09:36Now, they got a 10 ELIM 4th, 14 ELIM 3rd, 16 ELIM 2nd,
09:42and in their last game,
09:43they took a fight against MiniShed's team.
09:45They unfortunately went down the mid-game in 17th,
09:47but their other three games were phenomenal.
09:50So again, it's that story of when ELIMs are worth so much,
09:53they were three in Div 1 Finals,
09:54and they were four in Grands.
09:56That is where Clix's placement-heavy win format
09:58just doesn't seem to hold up
09:59against PeterBot's absolute, just raw W-keying power.
10:03So a lot of people are actually saying
10:04the ELIM points should be worth less
10:06because Clix's playstyle should be rewarded more.
10:08Again, that debate always rages on.
10:10I understand why in Grands ELIMs are worth so much
10:13because getting ELIMs in Grand Finals
10:14is meant to be extremely hard.
10:16When you have the skill discrepancy of PeterBot
10:18compared to like the 5th or 33rd best team's fighting ability,
10:21especially in trios,
10:23I think ELIMs should maybe be worth a little bit less
10:25in trios than what they were in duos.
10:27It is easier for a trio to run Rampage
10:29and get a bunch of kills.
10:30But overall, it is super exciting
10:32seeing the consistent placement go up against ELIMs,
10:34but Pete's team is also getting insane placements.
10:36In a regular format, they go to 4th, 3rd, and 2nd.
10:39Even without Crazy ELIMs, that's still unbelievable.
10:42So it's really fun to see these two Titan teams
10:44go at it with very different playstyles.
10:46Cold, PeterBot, and Poyo do like to run
10:48the lower mid-ground a fair bit.
10:49It's worth mentioning Clix actually got one of those wins
10:51off an early high ground take.
10:53So Clix's team flexing their ability
10:55to take high ground.
10:55Iomzo, I think, is a phenomenal IGL right now.
10:58He is very dialed in.
10:59His mechanics have been insane.
11:01He's been dominating in solos.
11:02All three of them have, which is a great sign
11:04of how much they're grinding right now.
11:06And Clix wasn't even on his regular setup.
11:08He was actually playing at CypherPK's setup
11:10because apparently he went to South by Southwest
11:12to do something for JBL.
11:13So he was doing some sponsored stuff,
11:15jumped on the PC.
11:16It was crashing a whole bunch for streams.
11:18He actually crashed twice in Opens.
11:20And Batman Booga, Higgs, and Iomzo
11:22ended up clutching so many points.
11:23They still made finals,
11:25and then almost had the perfect finals with four wins.
11:28There are some other teams on NA I want to talk about
11:30before we switch over to EU.
11:31We had Muzz, Curly, and Ryze get two second places,
11:35almost getting two wins.
11:36They did really, really well.
11:37Again, Clix's X-Trio still holding up phenomenally.
11:40We had AH's Richland Acorn get a second and a third,
11:43while still contested by Cooper's team at Mars Meadows,
11:46and also having Ysir's team drop there as well.
11:49So AH's Richland Acorn almost got two wins,
11:52getting a second and third, while triple cont
11:54by one team that is a tier one team.
11:56They're absolutely popping off.
11:58This team is one to look out for.
12:00If they can somehow get Mars Meadows uncontested,
12:02if Cooper's team leaves or something changes,
12:04they really can give Pete a run for their money.
12:06They're playing phenomenal.
12:07Whatever doubts people had
12:09about Richland Acorn's ability to fight,
12:11Richland not being a fragger,
12:12they have been clearly grinding extremely hard.
12:15And the way they've been playing,
12:16the strategy they've been cooking up,
12:17every game's different.
12:18Half the games, they had to sit in like a 10-minute box fight
12:21against Vadil's team to get into the black market,
12:24and they still managed to do this well.
12:26Like, it's not like the teams are just like fighting
12:27and then splitting the loot and rotating out.
12:29Like, they're trying to grief each other
12:31throughout the rest of the game,
12:32and they're still playing this well.
12:33It is genuinely very impressive.
12:35Now, we had Vadil.
12:36Cooper and Sphinx also get a seventh
12:38and a fourth place out of this as well.
12:40Kanata Bugha Threats had a pretty rough tournament.
12:4232nd, 10th, 10th, and 10th.
12:44I know if you've been watching any of Kanata's content,
12:46you've seen his thoughts on how his team's doing right now,
12:49saying they're not playing well.
12:50They have to start voting.
12:51They have to lock in and figure it out.
12:52A lot of people are concerned
12:53for what this means for Bugha's trio.
12:55Are they going to split?
12:56Are they going to stick together?
12:58We'll have to see.
12:59We had Reet announcing his potential new trio.
13:02It's not 100%, but Reet really wants to play with Bryce.
13:04So him, Bryce, and Virgo are now trioing together.
13:07They did really well in Opens.
13:08Unfortunately, in Finals,
13:09they were contested at Kappa Kappa Factory by Tyler's team,
13:12and they went down three out of the four games on Spawn,
13:14so they have to fix that up a little bit.
13:16But overall, they were looking quite solid.
13:18Hello, this is SleepyAntics.
13:20I was just heading to bed after filming the video,
13:22and we now have even more drama on NA,
13:24because apparently I'm not allowed to go to sleep.
13:26So we have Cooper confirming
13:28that he is no longer dropping MaskedMeadows.
13:30He is leaving Acorn uncontested,
13:32which is very, very big for this season going forward.
13:35We get to finally see PeterBot versus Acorn uncontested.
13:38This is incredibly exciting.
13:40But where is he dropping?
13:41You might ask.
13:42He is now going Seaport City.
13:43And yes, you're probably thinking,
13:44Aussie, why would Cooper stop contesting Acorn
13:47just to go contest Bugha?
13:48That's not going to be any better.
13:49Why would he give up MaskedMeadows for Seaport?
13:51It is because Bugha is no longer going Seaport,
13:53or at least we think,
13:54because Bugha no longer has a trio.
13:56Kanata has left Bugha and Threats.
13:58He is now going to be playing this week
14:00with a new trio as an IGL.
14:02We don't know who it is.
14:03He's kind of keeping a secret right now.
14:05He said he's not going to be streaming this week.
14:07And for what's going on with Bugha and Threats,
14:08we don't know.
14:09So I'm guessing maybe with Kanata
14:11kind of comes to mind.
14:12Sorry, with Rii comes to mind.
14:13I'm not entirely sure here.
14:14I have no idea.
14:15I'm not going to try and figure it out,
14:17because I am extremely tired.
14:18But I want to make sure I put this in the video,
14:20because obviously we're all going to be talking about it.
14:22So Acorn now uncontested at MaskedMeadows.
14:24Cooper, Vadil, and Sphinx
14:25are now going to be dropping Seaport City.
14:27Bugha and Threats are looking for trios,
14:29and Kanata now has a brand new trio.
14:30Now, what this means for the Bitcoin
14:32that was held in Collateral,
14:33if you guys don't know that,
14:34apparently Bugha gave Kanata a Bitcoin
14:37and promised that he would be grinding this season.
14:38He won't snake him, I guess now,
14:40because it was Kanata's decision to leave.
14:42There's no Bitcoin changing hands.
14:43I've heard rumors.
14:44Apparently the whole Bitcoin thing was a meme,
14:46even though Kanata said on his stream super seriously,
14:49I don't even know what's going on anymore, man.
14:50It's NA.
14:51I'll probably be able to see what trio
14:52they play with tomorrow for Opens of Div 1.
14:54And I'll probably just make another video
14:55tomorrow night telling you what's going on.
14:57So yeah, back to the regular video.
15:00Now, let's talk about EU.
15:01And I feel like every time I talk about EU
15:03and then talking about how it affects MrSavage's trio,
15:05it's like the LeBron legacy meme.
15:07But there were some big new trios
15:09who didn't do that well,
15:10which could potentially shake up
15:12into some team options for Savage
15:13because we didn't get to see Savage play today.
15:15Savage currently had to miss the EVAL Cup.
15:17He's also going to miss the Div 1 Cups this week.
15:19He's currently traveling to get a surgery.
15:21He's getting a hernia removed.
15:22So again, we're hoping Savage recovers well.
15:24The surgery is all no dramas.
15:26It does sound like it's pretty routine
15:27based on the way he's been talking about it.
15:29So no super dramas there.
15:30But it means he wasn't playing.
15:32So we have to look at some of these other trios
15:34and then maybe think who Savage
15:35might end up with as a result.
15:37So in the finals, we had Ping, Wox, and Malibu
15:40could get a 9-ELIM win.
15:41They also got a 7-ELIM 5th and a 6-ELIM 2nd
15:44and then didn't load into Game 1.
15:46So playing absolutely phenomenally.
15:48Then we have Pix, Darm, and Damus
15:50who got a 9th, 8th, and a 1st
15:51while contested at Pump Power.
15:53We had iDrop, Skye, and Skrull
15:55get a 1st, 9th, 6th, and 9th
15:57while triple contested at The Shaft.
15:59So they're looking extremely strong.
16:01And then we had probably a more underrated win
16:03that not a lot of people were expecting.
16:05We had Frixx's team get a 30th, 33rd, 31st,
16:08and then a 1st.
16:09So hey, they still made $1,200.
16:11It's a victory format.
16:12If you're not 1st, you're last.
16:14So you might as well come last or 1st.
16:15They played really, really well
16:17in the one game that mattered for them.
16:18And then we had Viko, Venro, and Flix
16:20with obviously the most amount of hype around them.
16:22They got an 18th, 11th, and 5th in their last game.
16:25After seeing them not struggle,
16:27just not do as well as we were expecting,
16:28I started thinking, you know,
16:29maybe this updates the Mega Cities nerfed, you know?
16:32Apparently the black market doesn't sell
16:34gold and purple pumps as often,
16:36you know, maybe because of the Mythic Pump
16:37they're going to get fought for the train more often.
16:39I couldn't really figure out what's going on here.
16:40Like I said, I honed in on the fact
16:41that Flixie was using that pump and dump a lot,
16:44and it kind of seemed to mess up their fighting style.
16:46Their fights were taking too long to close out.
16:48Viko did mention there's a few times
16:49Flixie would have gotten E-Limb,
16:50but again, he pressed the wrong button,
16:52didn't know how to change his keybinds.
16:53So I'm not like super panicking for this trio,
16:55but seeing Peterbot's team versus Viko's team
16:58and how well they performed with Mega City this week,
17:00it was very interesting to see.
17:01I'm sure Viko is going to fix it up for the Div1s,
17:03but they didn't play particularly well.
17:05I will be honest, they played well,
17:07just not by their usual standard of well.
17:09Now, while they didn't get a win in the finals,
17:11I did want to shout out Mongrel, Prism, and Casper
17:14making the finals.
17:14They came 10th in Opens.
17:16They played really well.
17:17And in the finals, they go to 15th, 7th, 19th, and 33rd.
17:20They're dropping on a split to like the north of Pump Power.
17:23I really like this team's vibes.
17:24If you've been watching Mongrel's streams,
17:25you know what it's like.
17:26They're locked in, they're playing seriously,
17:28but they're having fun with it too.
17:29I'm really, really excited to see this trio keep growing.
17:31Mongrel's now, you know, being locked in
17:33for like a few days now,
17:34actually practicing, taking it seriously.
17:36And they're now popping off.
17:37And I think we can finally put the Mongrel, Mr. Savage,
17:40Wilbay team together to rest
17:42because Mongrel has addressed a few times on his stream now.
17:44You might've seen the clips,
17:45but basically I'll summarize it.
17:47He described one of the main reasons
17:48why him and Savage stopped playing together
17:50was actually because he didn't want to play with Savage anymore
17:53because of the community.
17:54The fact that Savage's community
17:56or just the Fortnite community in general,
17:57when he was playing with Savage,
17:59would just pin all the blame on him.
18:00Anytime he made a mistake, it was like magnified 10X.
18:03He knew he was the worst player on the trio,
18:05but everyone was so sure of that,
18:07that every time something went wrong,
18:08it had to be his fault.
18:09If he went down early,
18:10everyone would blame him and just flame him.
18:12And he just got over it.
18:13It just wasn't fun, which I fully get.
18:15I know these guys have been, you know,
18:16big content creators for a long time.
18:17Mongrel's been one of the most notable pros
18:19in the history of Fortnite.
18:20He's used to, you know, getting some negativity,
18:22but I think it just made it not really worth playing
18:25with Savage anymore.
18:26And it's kind of sad to see that Twitter communities
18:28are having such a big impact on who plays with who.
18:30This is a very similar situation we've heard
18:32with Clix and Ryze.
18:33We've heard it many times with many pro players.
18:35So it's sad to see,
18:36but it looks like Mongrel is enjoying his new trio,
18:39a little bit out of the spotlight,
18:40doing his own thing with his community and popping off.
18:42So I don't really see Savage and Mongrel
18:44getting back together after the way
18:45Mongrel described it on stream.
18:47Now, moving on to the other new trios on EU
18:49with the little mini snake inning we had.
18:51There's never as much drama around the EU team.
18:53So people don't really focus on it as much,
18:54but it is very important for competitive.
18:56We had Thomas and Panzer now picking up Pablo.
18:59They came third in the Opens.
19:00They ended up being contested by CZB's team
19:03at Outlaw in finals.
19:04So they didn't do too well in the finals,
19:05but they did very well in Opens.
19:06So I think there's a chance that team sticks.
19:08Then we had Hriss, Tayson, and Chicho,
19:10a brand new trio coming in 73rd overall.
19:13After Tayson, Chicho, and Truelegs didn't do very well
19:16in the first finals of the season.
19:17Then we had Pink and Nevs finally playing alongside
19:20their actual trio, Kuro.
19:21Now that he's Div 1, they came 69th overall.
19:24And then we had Truelegs, Skivvy, and Teenie
19:26coming 103rd.
19:28So we have quite a few big trios
19:29chopping and changing their teammates
19:31and really not finding a lot of success right now.
19:33I don't know what this means for Savage or other trios.
19:35I think we are going to see some other shakeups.
19:37We now have the Div 1 Open starting today.
19:40So we might see some of these teams change
19:41or they'll give it another try.
19:43EVO Cup format's a little bit weird.
19:45Seven games, two hours with ELIMS only being worth one.
19:47We've seen big teams like Peterbot last season
19:50not qualify multiple times where it's just,
19:52it doesn't have to be the be-all, end-all.
19:53If vibes aren't good and you aren't playing well,
19:55you'll be able to figure it out by playing the tournament.
19:57But just because you didn't do well in the tournament
19:59doesn't mean your trio doesn't have potential.
20:01So we'll see what happens for Div 1.
20:02I might have an update video for you guys tomorrow night,
20:04or I definitely will do an update video again
20:06after the first two rounds of Opens
20:08and see who's with who and how it's going.
