The hotly contested EMEA region is now halfway done with the first split of Apex Legends Global series (ALGS) Pro League, and it was veteran team Gambit Esports who flexed their muscle on day six of the competition. The Russian organization took hold of first place early on and didn’t let it slip through their grasp, thanks in large part to the star play of Konstantin “Hardecki” Kozlov.
Ethernal took the first game of the day in a messy endgame that showcased the importance of Gibraltar. With so many ultimates going off, the simplicity of having a Dome Shield to hide safely in became the difference-maker for several teams and showed why he’s been a must-pick for the majority of teams competing in Pro League so far this season. 스포츠토토사이트
The Crypto teams in the lobby, hoping to set up EMPs to delete those Gibby shields, simply couldn’t last long enough without the defensive power from the bubble. Ethernal opted for the best of both worlds, using both Gibraltar and Crypto alongside a Wraith. And what they might have lacked in rotation ability without a Valkyrie, they made up for in fighting power, mopping up the final circle from the low ground.
Gibraltar play also highlighted the second game of the day. Gambit Esports’ veteran squad played a tricky final circle to perfection with their Gibraltar, Valkyrie, and Wraith composition. With the final zone closing in around a small island surrounded by lava in The Dome, Gambit first fended off an enemy Defensive Bombardment, then used one of their own. They weren’t necessarily looking to damage enemy squads, but to prevent them from traversing the lava and making it onto the only safe ground in the middle of the zone. Unable to push to the middle, this forced the remaining teams to fight each other in what available space they had left.
Safe and sound in the center of the circle and with ample cover, Gambit easily picked off the remaining stragglers to take the victory. The win moved them atop the day’s leaderboard, as the team looked to put the previous weeks’ tenth-place finish behind them.
Gambit very nearly made it two in a row in game three, but after sweeping up Odin Gamers in the final circle, Invictus Gaming rolled in and won the final fight, not making the same mistakes that other Gibraltar-less squads made before them.
