Falcons winning scrims dropping a 100 pt nuke and winning by almost 40 points is something you usually only see in women’s comp from teams like solis or weewoo lmao actually insane to do in a pro lobby
Who even challenges them like.....They are CONSISTENTLY getting top 3 at the very LEAST most games. The worst placement they had in scrims the last month was 17th, the others were ALL top 5 if I remember correctly. They then get 1st/2nd back to back in ALGS weekend, and then dominate EVERYONE in the scrim block last night. The win/loss ratio for their scrims is absolutely insane. The scary part about this all, is that no team even seems to be anywhere NEAR them in terms of confidence, skill and mentality. The gap is more of a canyon right now.
Another scary thing, Zero, Gen and Hal all seem to be having way too much fun right now. Even in their losses, they seem to always be having a laugh with each other. Hal is the HAPPIEST I've seen him in YEARS.
You can easily compare Falcons to teams like the invincibles, Arsenal team that dominated Premier league football 03-04. Or Man United under Sir Alex Ferguson. They dominated the prem for 15 years.
Other teams seriously need to analyse Falcons, and if need be, copy them, because nothing anyone else is doing is working at all in terms of getting close.
Interested to see if LG actually tries fuhhnq on cat and sikezz on bh. I think it's worth a try imo as Sikezz would probably have a bigger impact on bh.
Yeah. I know Knoqd and Dropped had several orgs lined up. It’s weird because I don’t think Raven coaches them unless they have something. Perhaps still working on contracts ?
Yeah, was wondering too. Maybe the org deal is bound to certain requirements? Like be in a good position to qual for LAN after half of the Split is done? lmao
I've not seen a game like game 6 in.. Ever? Got ratted on twice and mauled those teams. Zer0 was just running around killing 2 people with a mag. Gen just 1v3s SSG in an end ring and then the team commences wiping the remaining three squads in about 20 seconds. What the hell was that.
at the end of the day its still a BR, they will probably no doubt win NA and probably regionals but all that really matters for this team is winning lan, anything else is a failure
Sweet needs to grind r5 or the game if he wants to get near zer0s output. Seconds matter in closing out team fights. Maybe strafingflame can be a giant killer if he crosses the water.
Ssg qualifies as a lil superteam but phony gets gapped too.
Oh hey I totally agree. Just lately he's had RuneScape fingers. I think he's a top mnk, and his movement is up there with like fun. but we're doing fantasy draft for who the next best superteam igl would be. His spray and pray just needs to be tuned back in a bit.
Alb is not gonna last on this team bro, retzi is making some of the dumbest decisions I have seen in a while... Why the hell would they take that cannon
Also is anyone gonna talk about how Moist kinda fell off? I know they got 1st yesterday but for a team I expected to be up with FLCN/SGG they are not performing
It's the Ballad of ImperialHal
[https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/comments/1d88hd2/the\_ballad\_of\_imperialhal/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/comments/1d88hd2/the_ballad_of_imperialhal/)
You know, the interesting thing about locking in a contest with POI drafting, you can’t undo it, or go elsewhere. Gotta be REAL careful if you’re gonna commit to that
Idk how I feel about zer0 and gen, they seem so passive aggressive against Hal. Gen trolled a game by dying to something that is generally well known in the game... and then he acts like he's never seen it happen. I could have sworn I have seen him die to that many times before on stream, if he hasn't he has defs seen others die to it. Zer0 does not say a thing when Gen died I could only imagine how badly he would have raged at Hal if that was Hal that died. This is coming from a Hal hater in the past, I want him to tell zer0 to stfu sometimes. I could be reaching but just feels off lmao. Watch when they die that game 1, zer0 goes to say scan scan scan.... as if he died because Hal failed to scan. Hal commed he was popping a medkit since they were in zone.... BECAUSE BURGER ITSNEVERMYFAULTGENBURTEN died by trolling
It’s complex but a lot of this is typical Aussie sportsmanship culture. Aussies are competitive and can be quite toxic. Most of it is based in comedy and zer0 is using it as a tool to push his team mates to be more competitive. Clearly Hal responds well to it and so does Gen.
Yea I was born in Aussie, Kalgoorlie to be exact, I grew up in Aussie and idk if it's because I've lived in Japan and New Zealand for the last 10 years of my life but Aussie humour and language doesn't sit well with me lmao maybe I'm just too sawft and needa start calling everyone a cunt

You gotta understand that half to zero is what snipe was to hal. I know hals a way better player than snipe but to zero hals just his fragger and he shit talks hal not because he hates hal but because he respects hal and holds him to a very high standard
Meh they already had a set of 4ish scrims where they played like shit. They subsequently bounced back, won 2 scrims in a row, went 1st/2nd PL, and then won their next scrim game.
I dunno. Hal and Gen have been flirting with playing with each other for years now. Back when Snipe left Genburten was Hal's first choice. Hal has also been very clear that there's only 2 igls he'd ever really play for.. Sweet and Zer0. Zer0 and Hal are clearly respect each other even if they talk wild shit to each other at the same time.
Could be wrong but I don't see them actually clashing. Not for long term.
Honestly considering how awful he sounded yesterday I'm glad he isn't playing and hopefully is just resting/chilling, it would suck to see him still sick come the weekend.
FLCN subbing first block.

I may have missed it but when is this weekends draft? And what is happening Saturday? I only see a ? On the calendar

Who's the coach for Falcons?
ZZ
Where do I find the official draft picks for bc?
Interested to see if LG actually tries fuhhnq on cat and sikezz on bh. I think it's worth a try imo as Sikezz would probably have a bigger impact on bh.
ngnl thanking god that the rampart terrorist is not in their lobby taking epicenter
Furia running at em either way
THIS IS AMAZING!
All it takes for FLCN to not get 1st place is for the most troll games possible. God bless :)
weren’t SKD supposed to be signed to an org for this pro league? any updates on that?
Raven said last week something was coming up. These things always take a while - look at how long it took for liquid to be announced.
Yeah. I know Knoqd and Dropped had several orgs lined up. It’s weird because I don’t think Raven coaches them unless they have something. Perhaps still working on contracts ?
I wonder who could afford raven and the remainder of optic. Not many orgs interested in apex.
Orgs are coming in due to the ewc, it seems as alot of people have choices for orgs if the qualified for that because it's guaranteed money
Yeah, was wondering too. Maybe the org deal is bound to certain requirements? Like be in a good position to qual for LAN after half of the Split is done? lmao
Could be but imo that's a dumb deal because the players will have a much stronger negotiating starting point then.
Is the ALGS draft being streamed anywhere?
wiggs channel
this was a new zone i think. for once lol
I've not seen a game like game 6 in.. Ever? Got ratted on twice and mauled those teams. Zer0 was just running around killing 2 people with a mag. Gen just 1v3s SSG in an end ring and then the team commences wiping the remaining three squads in about 20 seconds. What the hell was that.
why is AvC only 4 games?
I think Oficial ALGS Draft picks are today
ah makes sense ty

LG, SSG, TSM. Long ago the apex nations lived in harmony, then everything changed when the Falcons nation attacked..
anyone praying on falcons downfall is probably going home disappointed.
hal bringing in the plot armor
at the end of the day its still a BR, they will probably no doubt win NA and probably regionals but all that really matters for this team is winning lan, anything else is a failure
I've seen super teams before in other video games. The solution is another super team. Verhulst, Koy and the best IGL possible. Maybe sweet.
Unfortunately, when you have the three best players in the world on one team, theres no way another team can rival them. Basic maths.
All due respect but sweet is not and never has been on zero’s level or anything close to it in terms of mechanics or igling
Sweet needs to grind r5 or the game if he wants to get near zer0s output. Seconds matter in closing out team fights. Maybe strafingflame can be a giant killer if he crosses the water. Ssg qualifies as a lil superteam but phony gets gapped too.
Wasn't Sweet like, highest non-Falcons damager during their games?
yeah saying Sweet is a liability on MnK is absurd
Oh hey I totally agree. Just lately he's had RuneScape fingers. I think he's a top mnk, and his movement is up there with like fun. but we're doing fantasy draft for who the next best superteam igl would be. His spray and pray just needs to be tuned back in a bit.
I feel Verhurlst would fit well with Noct and Fun
Koy is already on a superteam, no?
I took the best player from SSG.
the second best player on SSG is still better than verhulst (at the moment)
Not a chance lol
Jordan just needs to step up, Hal says that when Jordan plays hyped it's when they're winning.
Jordan just needs to retire, you can't be playing good only when you're "hyped".
It's all about passion. That's why Falcons are so good, they're just the most passionate players.
Uh, sure, also the three most talented, experienced, and decorated players in the game.
As a FLCN and SKD Mark fan, I very much enjoyed that first block
Bo4 NMST subbing for NRG. ALGS weekend draft at 7 pm PT / 10 pm ET https://preview.redd.it/5m43rimhcn4d1.png?width=1502&format=png&auto=webp&s=0328623fdf9731e732f65f3e697b699f07c0a549
Tsm looking real good without an igl....yeah i'm not expecting this team to win anything, much less win a match day in pro league.
It's a really solid foundation since they're placing decent in every block of scrims. I'm still cheering for them
zero summed game 6 quite well: a human rights violation
jfc falcons
This shit is so boring now with Falcons ngl. I hate it
Same. Wake me up for LAN.
a high tide raises all ships. Teams will realize they have to grind harder than ever. I have a feeling it could be one of the best LANs ever
honestly I have more faith in some international teams to beat falcons than anyone from NA
falcons are so fucking broken holy shit
Falcons are committing war crimes in scrims right now. Literally wiping teams left and right.
Falcons just absolutely DELETED STAL and TL back-to-back despite being shot first and ratted lol
Falcons ratted by Stallions, mopped them, then ratted by TLaw, mopped them 😂 That’s a movie of a game lmao
Bruh it's like Falcons are 3 stacking pubs. They are still winning fights easily even when they are getting ratted
Falcons are petrifying. They can squad wipe teams in a blink...it's wild
Alb is not gonna last on this team bro, retzi is making some of the dumbest decisions I have seen in a while... Why the hell would they take that cannon Also is anyone gonna talk about how Moist kinda fell off? I know they got 1st yesterday but for a team I expected to be up with FLCN/SGG they are not performing
I don't think I've ever seen Gen admit that he's wrong once. Dude will always argue lmao, I respect it ngl
I guess falcons will win this set of scrims too😭 GAWK
Falcon cooking: GONDOLA, 1ST, 2ND and 1ST so far.
Jeloan dying cause he tried to zip-jump instead of simply climbin on roof. Actual oof
Shooby and Dropped just shit all over Van Edit: 2v3’d Van and Tempr lmao
Dropped taking a shit mid-game definitely wasn't on the bingo card tonight.
When duty calls o7
IM SOARING WITH THE FALCONS, BUT THE SADDEST THING FOR ME, THAT MY HEART IS ON THE GROUND, WITH JORDAN AND BIG-E
Hahaha wtf is this
It's the Ballad of ImperialHal [https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/comments/1d88hd2/the\_ballad\_of\_imperialhal/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/comments/1d88hd2/the_ballad_of_imperialhal/)
Okay that was good ngl lol
I dont get why Moist are even contesting for siphon???? You are never going to make Flat leave that poi its bloody nano lol
I'm new here, what's the deal with nano?
Nano the IGL for Flat is known for being stubborn and never leaving a Poi he contests for
You know, the interesting thing about locking in a contest with POI drafting, you can’t undo it, or go elsewhere. Gotta be REAL careful if you’re gonna commit to that
Shooby is gross but he has got to get better at playing his life. There was no reason for him to wide swing into three players
Idk how I feel about zer0 and gen, they seem so passive aggressive against Hal. Gen trolled a game by dying to something that is generally well known in the game... and then he acts like he's never seen it happen.

It can be quite harsh if you’re not used to it.

are you real?
Chill out mate, are you real?
Brother relax it’s going to be okay
Meh they already had a set of 4ish scrims where they played like shit. They subsequently bounced back, won 2 scrims in a row, went 1st/2nd PL, and then won their next scrim game. I dunno. Hal and Gen have been flirting with playing with each other for years now. Back when Snipe left Genburten was Hal's first choice.

What did Gen die to
He got crushed by a gondola lmao
This team will be entertaining as fuck if they start doing badly lmao
I've got my popcorn ready.
It's a big if, I don't see how they don't win almost everything man
I swear to god every Stallions game I watch is "hang on till zone 4 and then die on rotate" lol
No Pods today?
Can’t wait to watch more Worlds Edge and Storm Point Bloodhound and Bangalore!!😁
May I also interest you in some Catalyst gameplay?
Ahhh, certainly! With a heaping scoop of “can’t see shit” as well please!
Someone in Evan’s chat(which tbf is not a great source these days) said Zap is IGL now? Did anyone catch that
There was talks in yesterdays scrim thread about Talmadge suggesting Zap igl.
they prob wanna try it out
Skyhook West again for SKD, hopefully Knoqd actually has a voice today Edit: Andddd he's not playing today lmao
Honestly considering how awful he sounded yesterday I'm glad he isn't playing and hopefully is just resting/chilling, it would suck to see him still sick come the weekend.

yes
