I found most teams struggling this split were constantly changing comps. Most teams seemed to be testing on game day probably due to scrim quality and realm being in the mix. Good vid as always J 👍
Yeah also in terms of comps this season was definitely the most dramatic shift. Class system and beacon changes threw a lot of things off. Many old things no longer worked. Valk being the 1 trick for rotations and circle info benefitted way too many teams
The Seer RNG at least will be toned down because the ulti no longer works with Cat Wall. Watching these losing team videos is showing me that actually fun Comps like Wraith + Crypto and Wattson + Crypto just to have a stupid Legend run around and get a 20 second ESP hack if he doesn't get RNG taken down since he is bad at escape tells you something.
One of the things that I think EVERYONE even pros forget is the fact that "meta" is very rarely necessary and in fact the opposite of what you want to do some of the time. One of the biggest examples was FURIA back when the dominated. FURIA played hard counter for the meta and it worked. One of the things I've realized is that a cat isn't necessary in the seer cat meta, only Seer is. You just need to counter seer cat and when a team sets up the combo on you, you just throw down your own seer ult and completely counter it. A bit of a rant but it's VERY important to realize that playing off-meta is the way to go a lot of the time.
playing off meta is fine if you can play your own game/playstyle. in a straight 3v3 most of the time the meta will win because of better team fight abilities. in a contest a meta comp will win, in a set up fight the off meta might beat, or keep up with the meta.
The only real counter to seer-catalyst is seer-catalyst...so what do you mean play "off-meta"? I only saw pros try with rampart when Realm was around but I don't know if they will actually use it
@@Skratawell said. Meta stands for Most Effective Tactic Available, meaning in any given situation, its a viable pick. Not neccesarily the best, but covers all bases in a balanced sense relative to the games and its state
great video, i really like this content, nobody really do a work as clean as yours in algs content on youtube. hype for the next parts of "what went wrong" !
Sorry to clarify, I didn’t mean to add another one to skyhook, I meant to move the one that is there into the middle of the POI so both East and West can access it. As of right now the team who lands East would have to go into the West side in order to use it which… isn’t gonna happen in comp
Honestly NGL i think its fine where it is. Putting it in the middle just makes it easier for teams to hit, its as close to mid as it can be without being on that round center building
Just keeps coming out with banger after banger, good shit Jhawk, you're blowing up, it's not hard to see why. Some of the greatest content in Apex. I was happy to see you on Wigg's podcast, was a huge sign of things to come.
One of my biggest problems with the introduction of the new changes in season 16 was the ring consoles. It hurt crypto a ton, it hurt the crypto Wattson early rotate comp, and it forces teams to have to use a control legend to get ring knowledge which I hate for both ranked and algs. My solution would be to allow any legend to hit the ring console, and create a new control passive.
Thats why they called control legends and it helps the pickrate a lot for legends like caustic and rampart for casual players. For competitive i dont think crypto was one of the better choices since his drone is his whole identity and most used in apac north to counter all the wattsons so the importance is still there. Im not a fan of every legend being able to use the ring console either and rather would ve none but if u should be able to scan the zone then only with a new survival item. Giving access for a feature to every legend seems to be contradictory to the whole point of the game where some types of legend have specific roles to fullfil
I miss this team so badly 😢😭 also miss the comp they dominated in. We will never see better Apex again than those Wattson and Horizon days of 2022 and 2023 LAN and ALGS 😭😢💔 peak gameplay and show of skill between zone and edge
Got some different content coming up in the near future that will be a bit of a change from anything I've done so far (still ALGS content of course). Always gonna try and mix in some new stuff
First of all: Amazing content and production! would be awesome to see a piece like this on 2R1C and how despite having to play with a different third each round robin they managed to make it to lan, aswell as how consistent Hiarka and Uxako are together regardless of playstyle and who their third is :)
Should’ve put Rambeu “Retires” in quotations We all know that dude didn’t want to play with them anymore. A true cowardly move by him. Just be a man and be honest
Dude I hope you know how much I love these vids. I’m your average silver gamer (though I might make Diamond this season lol) and only play apex a few hours a week. But the production value, research, thoughtfulness, and great voice make these vids a must-watch every time they drop.
@@AyeJHawk i mean it. i love apex and there is no content quite like yours. there is a huge hole in long form educational / interesting apex content and you fill it all the way up. i hope you keep making videos as long as apex is around and i hope more people are inspired by you because apex comp needs more lore videos!
Nailed it as always! Surely a DZ video coming soon!? Zer0 is a next level IGL. I love his sarcastic humour that Americans keep taking too seriously. He’s got a winners mentality and is not afraid to play the game, be unpopular and do what he needs to do to be the best.
I was gonna make a DZ video but half their vods don’t exist sadly cause the command center went down. I do have an idea for a video on them in the future though
Yes all the teams in each region still have a chance to qualify. Top 2 teams from each region will have a chance to make champs (not this LAN but next)
wait how did the guard become sentinels when there was already a sentinels team? granted previous entinels havent been worth anything since like the early days of valo back in the spectre meta. (then again this video is about apex not valo so maybe things are diff here?)
You let rambeau off too easy in this. The dudes actions after “retiring” showed his true colors fr is the main reason the team is lost af at the moment
I am not a drama channel. I didn’t “let him off”. The video was about why they didn’t qualify for LAN. Nothing Beau did that happened after his retirement affected their results in game
I dont think ive ever gotten good loot out of the vault besides like a gold knockdown lol. At least for me, it has never been worth fighting for when all you get is some purple shields and attachments i already had 😂
Rambeau didnt retire, he just quit on his team. I mean, boo hoo about meta changes. The best players adapt and overcome. Seems like all most Apex "pros" do is whine and complain. The state of the game right now is because of Respawn listening to the less than 1% of its player base and ignoring the majority of normal players that actually help keep this game afloat. Without casuals, this game has no pro scene.
Hot take: I'd retire too if my IGL's game plan consisted of leaving my POI with an alternator, 3 napkins and 5 shield cells between us to sit in god spot all game and take one fight after 20 minutes of AFKing
I miss being Hard for The Guard 😔
Now we’re Bent for the Sent
Lol
Sounds gay lol
@@colin714cool9 🤣🤣
When is LCQ
These breakdowns are almost better than watching live man, great job as always!

This guy found a lane that had barely anyone in it and took over. Love your videos. Smart guy.
Preciate you TJ!
when you put the red circle when that team flew into graveyard reminded me of the old school UFO sighting videos

Can't wait for LCQ, LAN, and more vids from JHawk

Playing meta is okay if it plays to the strength of your POI. But yeah, better play the comp that maximizes the strength of your POI.

A vexed video would be great
Their consistency (except in last LAN) is really phenomenal
like always loved the vid!! Can’t wait for the LAN streams❤
Nice video. Would love to see a video about Meat Lovers or Complexity (monsoon to lan!)
MONSOON TO LANSOON ❤️❤️❤️
the HIGH QUALITY breakdowns as always man, love your vids keep it up
great video, i really like this content, nobody really do a work as clean as yours in algs content on youtube. hype for the next parts of "what went wrong" !
I would love a episode on the tripods they have potential and doing great for a fairly new team
the vids just get better and better. Lan gonna be hype
I really hope Crypto can scan those two beacons because he is a hacker not just a drone pilot like he is right now
Awesome vid! Thanks for the work you put into the scene 🙂
I get stoked when I see youve posted a new video. Keep it up bud 👍
Preciate you watching Coulro!
Great job on this! Would love a LANimals video in the future. Keep up the good work!
Sen is a team I was expecting a lot from this split and was disappointed. I hope they can make a big comeback during LCQ and make Champs!
5:00 skyhook does NOT need two ring consoles 😂
Sorry to clarify, I didn’t mean to add another one to skyhook, I meant to move the one that is there into the middle of the POI so both East and West can access it. As of right now the team who lands East would have to go into the West side in order to use it which… isn’t gonna happen in comp

Would love to see a OpTic resurgence video. Great work as always
I wanted to make one but they didn’t stream their POV for the days they popped off and command center was down 🙃

As always, great video my guy, thank you for the content
Another great video, looking forward to the others!
Could you make a video about a more general topic? Like how landing spots have changed overtime, the metas changing too. Love the videos
Maybe how the addition of classes chabged the way some teams play

Man I really love your channel. Let me turn the notification bell
Thanks Dany!
Great video. Good to see your flexibility in styles. Pot vs negative and fine in a very well done.
Got some different content coming up in the near future that will be a bit of a change from anything I've done so far (still ALGS content of course). Always gonna try and mix in some new stuff

These videos are like mini movies for algs team. I love all of them. !!!
Thanks for watching homie!
Can we get a "How Complexity made LANsoon a reality" video?
I'd love to hear your analysis on COL gameplay this split.
Should’ve put Rambeu “Retires” in quotations
We all know that dude didn’t want to play with them anymore. A true cowardly move by him. Just be a man and be honest
Not doubting that’s very possible, but was this confirmed anywhere?
@@yokaihorizon2931 Yes, his actions immediately after “retiring”
Absolutely fantastic work as always. Best in the game! ❤

Thanks for watching homie. Comments like this mean the world ❤️
Great vid! I was wondering if you were ever thinking about making a vid about meat lovers or Complexity (Mon going to LAN)?
👀
another great analysis
I believe in Nelson and him adjusting their play style to get sen back on top
Agreed! Great coach!
Okkkkkk JHawk back with the bomb vids
💣
We’re in the final buddy. You played… ok I guess. Love the vids and the streams as always lol
Nah they played pretty pitiful. Milan disappointed me not gonna lie. Congrats on making it. Go win one for ITALIA!!!
@@AyeJHawk 100% huge for the country. Gotta get beat up by city. Idk why I answered a week later either
these are my favorite videos on this entire website.
Sheesh that’s crazy to hear

One of your friends? How old is that friend that told you that quote
He says it lot in reference to sports. Like Tom Brady retiring. That kind of situation
Business as usual, banger vid
Preciate you always Kami
Mom wake up a new jhawk video out
Dang first it was everyone’s girl friends but now moms sleeping on me? Smh
Can lanimals still make the land that is happening in June because I don’t understand how the lcq works
no LCQ is for the Champs lan which will happen a few months after this coming lan in june.
Yes all the teams in each region still have a chance to qualify. Top 2 teams from each region will have a chance to make champs (not this LAN but next)
Rambeau was and is a legend. Hope to see him back on pro scene
Do the LAN one
Great Video =)
can you do a vid on Element 6?
Video on LANIMALS maybe?
please do a vid on LANimals im begging 🙏
7:41 your friends with Dana white?
Yes I am actually Conor McGregor. I love apex
@@AyeJHawk “I do not play games I am the apex predator”
Tim- he doesn’t play and he’s still higher rank then you
Him retiring screwed over Sentinals only to play for DarkZero & get dropped from them. Why even retire? Makes no sense
His "phantom" retiring was such a backstab to his old team imo
He didn't even get dropped by DZ he just got mad that they were trialing other players and didn't want to play with them either.
wait how did the guard become sentinels when there was already a sentinels team? granted previous entinels havent been worth anything since like the early days of valo back in the spectre meta. (then again this video is about apex not valo so maybe things are diff here?)
Esports orgs sign teams from different games all the time. Sentinels has teams in Apex, Valorant, and Halo
Keon's problem is his discipline, same thing happened at lan finals
Did his mental crumble
Man Sentinels (the org.) has been through so many changes lately
This team will bounce back, I believe
Please make a video about vexed
Do a complexity video please
You let rambeau off too easy in this. The dudes actions after “retiring” showed his true colors fr is the main reason the team is lost af at the moment
I am not a drama channel. I didn’t “let him off”. The video was about why they didn’t qualify for LAN. Nothing Beau did that happened after his retirement affected their results in game
I dont think ive ever gotten good loot out of the vault besides like a gold knockdown lol. At least for me, it has never been worth fighting for when all you get is some purple shields and attachments i already had 😂
The whole Rambeau drama is a cautionary tale of not throwing the ‘R’ word too casually.
small mistake that is uncharacteristic of rkn? please
foreshadowing how SEN won't be able to make the playoffs in Valorant Franchising
another banger o7
🫡
Because they have a new team every week
Rambeau didnt retire, he just quit on his team. I mean, boo hoo about meta changes. The best players adapt and overcome. Seems like all most Apex "pros" do is whine and complain.

the irony
I’m 8 minutes late, that’s unacceptable
🤣
bring back crust 🙌🏼
another banger
Keon is huge lol
Played basketball in college. Dude is BUILT
yup
eat the whole mic
💯💯💯

Getting hard for the Guard all over again. Better days
Roller boys -__-
What went wrong was they weren't good enough. No need for the long video
Thanks for the comment, really boosts me up in the algorithm
Hot take: I'd retire too if my IGL's game plan consisted of leaving my POI with an alternator, 3 napkins and 5 shield cells between us to sit in god spot all game and take one fight after 20 minutes of AFKing
He didn't retire tho. He lied.
