i think that as well tbh. i dont see why they change hals and evans characters cos it dont fit their playstyles. Hal is very aggressive but plays passive characters makes no sense
@@bloops2003 when he plays those passive plays he can’t play his way and hesitates on more stuff, and then doesn’t make good decisions. Not a TSM fan but the team is good for viewership. Let’s hope they get out of the hole they dug themselves
They read the meta comp early, but it's being used different to what they expected. They predicted this was going to be a Seer/Cat split, but I think they expected this to mean edge meta, using Seer/Cat to aggressively push fights, which is why they put Evan on Horizon and picked an edge POI like Wall. But turned out most teams use Seer/Cat with Valk for zone, get in early, lock down buildings. So TSM ends up not finding anything to kill in the early game, then have to force their way into zone by pushing a zone team, while being shot from 3 other zone teams, because Seer/Cat STALLS FIGHTS.
@@TheTruth-xp2of agreed, fights take longer than before. You can’t just jump on a team anymore, you get stalled by cat walls and seer ults. So you stay in a certain position longer than you might want too
Who better than someone who is a pro in the scene competing against the teams/ players mentioned in these videos, great insight and unbiased reporting. Keep them coming.
snipe you have to understand that most ppl in gaming are classified as "dismissive avoidant attachment style", these are ppl won't voice their true opinion in fear of conflict, and built up resentment over time and often act out in a passive aggressive way because they are not direct.
Nice to hear Snipe calling out NRG getting good zones and underperforming. Sweet has loved to use the excuse of bad rng like zones in the past for their overall placements.
Hal hasn't played enough Cat to know how to play her in flow state...He is always hesitating...He needs to go build confidence on Cat before he takes her to the big time...
Hal has never really played an anchor or defensive legend. He is an entry fragger at heart. Dude needs to get on wraith asap tbh but raven is being so stubborn about comfort picks idk why if meta isn’t working for them
@Snip3Down I'd say the strong point for Loba Watson is to Loba Loot nades for end game or shields for when you just turbo rotate to get to end game and just go AFK the combo is way to dependent on getting a good spot but it's solid
It's funny how TSM created the seer-Catalyst meta and they were doing good, but after everyone was playing it they did bad, and now they hate that meta, and to be honest this meta is crazy, walls everywhere in the last rings sometimes it's unpredictable what is going to happen
If you were to put clips of the things you’re talking about. I think it will take this new project of yours to the next level. It’s nice hearing pro perspective
Honestly for lots of your points made abt teams whether it was appraisal or not to what you said. You spoke truth. Hal is better as an aggressive Igl is definitely one to point out and I agree on.
what separates hal and sweet is Hals passion for the game, it can’t be taught, can’t be bought it’s just something he was born with. Having the skill Hal has and the need to win at all costs is what makes him in my book the best igl. If none of yall have seen his lil docu on london lan highly suggest you go check that out.
If the meta is seer and catalyst why does knowbody play like gibby/Newcastle? When teams pop Cat ult just bubble so they can't laser you through her wall. I don't see teams really trying to counter the catalyst. Shit you could even gibby ult if the Cat push is outside.
I think last season Hal said that about Snip3 and Alb: that they're thinking too hard about fitting/finding meta instead of just playing with what Youre most comfortable with 😊 I hope they'll come back! Nothing better in pro apex than Hal freaking out 😅
I think Hal should go back to MnK for this meta and then play a less aggressive style. I feel like he feels the need to fight because that's how he recently found success after switching to controller but I think adapting to older/less aggressive styles would probs help the team perform better overall. U can tell they're still good but they're not able to find fights to fight rn without blatantly pushing a catalyst with a building. TSM read the meta arguably first or was one of the first, but they're not playing it as well as some others teams as of the moment
My idea, for comp only, is that everybody should have 2nd zone knowledge off the drop. It would reduce some rng, increase the skill gap and allow teams to play something other than a control character.
Hello . Newcastle main here ... Can y'all tell me why he isn't used ever in comp ? As a Newcastle, I constantly am seeing it through that lense , and I always THINK, man they could use a wall here or a tactical wall here ... Thanks y'all . Just wondering
The big thing you need to ask yourself is who do you replace on the current meta? The main comp played is Seer, Valk, Cat. The main person you would replace would be Cat but Cat is unrivaled when it comes to holding down buildings and if you are the only team without a Cat wall in end game, you are at the mercy of other Cats. Then you wouldn't replace Valk with NewCastle because their roles are different. You would be losing the best rotation tool for another defensive support legend which would be redundant because of Cat. And you can't replace Seer. This is just the way I see it
This is some of the best Apex content on youtube for competitive Apex that isn't just video clips. 10/10.
Check out JHawk

Love the insight from a pro perspective. Really cool vid Snipe!
You think TSM is in a similar situation that Optic and Furia was? A sudden meta change and their ability not to adapt quick enough?
i think that as well tbh. i dont see why they change hals and evans characters cos it dont fit their playstyles. Hal is very aggressive but plays passive characters makes no sense

日本語字幕ありがとうございます!
An amazing vid as always snipe! btw that zaza has been helping i can see in ALGS
@FatherBootyHands Weed my guy, he be smoking on that good pack
Does snipe actually get baked? Because if he does, that pretty cool in my opinion if its helping him
snipe you have to understand that most ppl in gaming are classified as "dismissive avoidant attachment style", these are ppl won't voice their true opinion in fear of conflict, and built up resentment over time and often act out in a passive aggressive way because they are not direct.
this is why ppl get kicked from their teams via twitter DMs
Buncha geeks
Clean commentary, great insights, and realistic takes. Great job Snipe! I hope this segment grows.
Thanks for diving deeper into the different groups! Really good insight!
always loving lej editing style.
Been catching up on some videos. Super good call on the subtitles for our fans in the East!
Keep posting these videos!! They are great! Also keep it up in algs you guys are on fire
I love these videos. Keep up the great work.
Damn yo this is insightful af, shouldn’t be surprised but hell yea keep up the good work Snipe
Didn't know what to expect with this but it was a great video. Cheers mate
These get better and the production gets cleaner with every episode. W Apex content

Snipe’s shirt got me 😂
Best competitive Apex content out there. Thanks for taking the time to do this, Snipe.
you are nailing this. you can have your own apex talk show or podcast
Did Hal dirty in that thumbnail 😂💀
these videos are classics and will go down in time to explain Apex comp
Great content! Thanks man.
love these types of videos from you snipe!
日本語字幕本当に助かる
I genuinely appreciate snipes humbleness. I hope he becomes an e-sports analyst when he retires
This competitive content is goated, keep it up.
That thumbnail is crazy LMAO whyd you guys do our lord and savior Imperial halal like that?
🤣
his outfit and hair is funnier than bald wraith hal
Thank you for doing these
Bro I'm so glad you and phony are competing together 🙌 your guys seem to work so well with eachother
LOVE TO SEE MY BOY SNIPE THRIVE
Hal hasn't played enough Cat to know how to play her in flow state...He is always hesitating...He needs to go build confidence on Cat before he takes her to the big time...
"flow state" yall stealin from cod again
@@beerdo no way you think cod created flow state
@@micsanfo3765 where did I say that?
@@beerdo it’s implied
Hal has never really played an anchor or defensive legend. He is an entry fragger at heart. Dude needs to get on wraith asap tbh but raven is being so stubborn about comfort picks idk why if meta isn’t working for them
I can dig this kind of video I’d love to see more much love
@Snip3Down I'd say the strong point for Loba Watson is to Loba Loot nades for end game or shields for when you just turbo rotate to get to end game and just go AFK the combo is way to dependent on getting a good spot but it's solid
Hal literally Said if i got nothing to lose i make sure BBB cant qualify either and grief them. This matches gonna be dramatic af 😂
It's funny how TSM created the seer-Catalyst meta and they were doing good, but after everyone was playing it they did bad, and now they hate that meta, and to be honest this meta is crazy, walls everywhere in the last rings sometimes it's unpredictable what is going to happen
The meta is dumb because walls is so dumb in the first place
Honestly, it's ugly to watch but what can you do 😅😅
Late game rings with Cat meta is just boring to watch imo. they'll just cat wall then seer ult and shoot diamonds like bro..
Tsm didnt start the seer cat meta tho. Seer is the main problem rn shooting diamond is just soo stupid especially behind walls.
Agreed. I've said it before. Seers ult should pulse the enemy location maybe like 2 seconds in between??
Dude I’ve always been a fan of your gameplay but you are onto something with this. Really enjoyed! Keep it up
Keep up the great content!
Thanx Snipe!! ^^
Braaa the thumbnail😂😂😂😂😷
Thanks Snipe, find these videos really interesting

That and verhulst and reps are like top 10 players. Even tho they don’t receive the hype. They are still insane consistently
If the meta is seer and catalyst why does knowbody play like gibby/Newcastle? When teams pop Cat ult just bubble so they can't laser you through her wall. I don't see teams really trying to counter the catalyst. Shit you could even gibby ult if the Cat push is outside.
How does the points format work for this?
ためになるー
I think last season Hal said that about Snip3 and Alb: that they're thinking too hard about fitting/finding meta instead of just playing with what Youre most comfortable with 😊 I hope they'll come back! Nothing better in pro apex than Hal freaking out 😅
I think a good counter to the catalyst meta would be fuse. Possibly, a Fuse, Seer and Valk combo.
Love these good work snipe
Teq is the people's champ.
Great video. The playboy merch goes hard.
NRG will lock it in. Nafen had a rough day and fumbled the bag a couple times but they'll get it together!

such a format was missing the hole time…
Notice how the top fragging teams now struggling with current meta (TSM, SEN/Guard)
Love the sweater
Thanks bro 🙏🏽
That wraith/Hal comparison is fked😭
スナイプすきだよいい
Let's go 😤😤😤
actually reall go insight bro, maybe you should be TSM's coach
Top 10 make LAN right?
TSM will win the next LAN.
I need that shirt.
lmao ,you serious with that thumbnail ?
Bravo
🐐
This has been the most boring meta to watch since the start of apex, imo. I'm just hoping it changes again next split, to something more aggressive.
It won't change as long as the defender legends are the only ones who can scan beacon.
My idea, for comp only, is that everybody should have 2nd zone knowledge off the drop. It would reduce some rng, increase the skill gap and allow teams to play something other than a control character.
あなたが日本で寿司を食べる日が楽しみです
Comment for the algorithm 😊
honestly I think tsm should go back to gibby,valk,wraith
Stepped on me snip3 pls 😶🌫️
banger lets goooo
NRG is highly overrated in my opinion, people put Sweet and NRG on a pedestal, but like really what have they done?
Let’s go FAZE a and B team more other teams less TSM. See all the action!
What’s you’re income after taxes
ty jp sub!
I’m gonna be honest… *it’s the thumbnail that made me click.*
