Yesterday’s North American Pro League Apex matches marked the halfway point of the ALGS regular season split, where Complexity in particular was dominant, notching two wins and almost a third in a set of six chaotic games.
Complexity thrived on the same disorder that overwhelmed other top teams, and fragged from start to finish in Sunday’s action.
They set the tone with a comfortable win in the first game of the set, a 22-point game that silenced any doubts about the team’s potential going forward. Sentinels came out of the gate with good results as well, while TSM and Cloud9 struggled, going out early.
For some teams, today’s competition represented an opportunity to cement their elite status in year two of the ALGS. Cloud9 and Sentinels, who’d both notched dominant performances in earlier weeks, could keep comfortable positions in the overall league standings with strong results on Sunday. 사설토토사이트
For other squads, it was a reckoning: Pro Apex juggernauts TSM had disappointed their massive fanbase so far, sitting behind several teams with less impressive legacies. Another mediocre result today would have put their playoff hopes in jeopardy and further erode their reputation as the most fearsome team in pro Apex. Complexity, another strong team in the earlier days of the ALGS led by the charismatic Bowen “Monsoon” Fuller, similarly hadn’t found their stride in the Pro League so far, but today will have helped their case.
TSM, perhaps showing discomfort with their recent variety of team compositions, were back to using Bloodhound, Gibraltar, and Wraith. But the change to more conservative characters didn’t lead to immediate results. In game two, Phillip “ImperialHal” Dosen had close to 50,000 viewers on his Twitch stream watching TSM die early once again, while Sentinels continued their strong performance. During an endgame near the tunnel entrance, they were forced into an early fight, and the Pittsburgh Knights were able to get a win with great positioning. Sentinels got second place and 15 points, leaving them tied with Complexity for first overall.
In game three, Sentinels and Complexity both stumbled. Other squads carried the game: Sign Us Please, a team of pro Apex veterans on the hunt for an organization to represent, jumped into first place by piling up kills. Dubblyew, a team using Loba, earned a solid win in a final circle filled with Gibraltar bubbles and put themselves into contention for a victory.
But Complexity was back on top with a 25-point win in game four, showing excellent bubble fighting in a final circle where four different teams shared the broken building in Fragment East.
