Follow me on Twitter so we can all talk about the LAN this week! twitter.com/AyeJHawk

Alb is the master of not making his mind up. Him having IGL was the absolute downfall of the team. Not finding a set team comp and landing site is such a alb move

just so you know i would have watched this video if it was 2 hours thats how much respect you have earned in such a short time

With London coming up I expect to see breakdown videos of a ton of teams, and not just the winning ones. I feel like your content will do a lot for players when it comes to learning what’s going on.

93% aren't subscribed?? As soon as the Optic video came out, I knew this was going to be the best channel to get my Apex fix in the months to come. Looking forward to the next one. Sounds like you had fun cranking this one out XD

your channel has IMMEDIATELY become an invaluable pick for one of the few gaming channels I still choose to follow as I decide to focus more on productivity/educational KZfaq for leisure. The insights and explanations you provide help to break down what’s going on in the pro scene better than anyone else has ever come close to. I’ve been following competitive Apex for years now as a very low skilled player as I more so enjoy watching high tier players than trying to be one and your commentary helps immeasurably in understanding the nuance of tournament games that I could never pick up on being a “retired” casual player. Thank you so much for deciding to start your channel, I’ve already shared it with every friend I have who I know enjoys esports at all regardless of if they follow Apex or not. This channel is truly one of a kind and I cannot wait to see where you this channel goes. I can even picture Respawn contracting you to give post-game recaps during ALGS to help less in the know players who still passionately love the game understand the nuance of what took place in each game, if you’d consider the analytical skills you show off in your videos something you could translate to a more close to improvised format hahaha

This is actually a testament to how good Hal is as an IGL he makes them look better when they played for tsm

i love the longer vids, you are doing an amazing job. keep up the great work, id definitely watch the watch party. cant wait for LAN

I'm not a guy that watches every ALGS, so like not a die-hard e-sport scene enthousiast, but bro, once I launched your video I could not stop watching it. Amazing job, and also relevant and documented. You're not just spewing your opinion without showing us the facts. You did your homework. Congrats!

Let’s go! Im loving the long competitive apex content! No one was doing it so glad someone stepped up for it

I would definitely watch even longer content, I'd rather you take as much time to cover all points than trying to rush or leaving things out. You have great insights and a fantastic way of communicating those. Big props, keep doing you!

gosh it hurts to re-hear some of the arguements, I caught some of them when other pros were re-watching them die on comp days. I completely agree they are all such good players. Unfortunate. Great animations on this video, etc. Thanks.

Just great work again J. These are a god send on the Work From Home Monday mornings haha. I was so interested in FaZe’s performance during the first split as well, but only managed to keep up with the clips and Reddit debriefs, so this video was so engaging for me. Thanks for your efforts!

Please keep up the amazing work. I love your content and it’s so high quality.

Honestly one of the best channels I have found in a while, super educational, and even showing their flaws shows me how far I have to go and what I need to do in the future to get better. You can bet I subbed after I saw the optic video

I’ve watched all of ya vids so far, you came up on my suggestions cuz I watch all the ALGS content I can. And I gotta say man, definitely some of my favorite content on apex. Real thought out breakdowns, of not only the blatant issues and red flags, but the often overlooked and unspoken key factors and moments in comp play. Keep it my g!

Another excellent well thought out video! Longer vids are great as long as the quality is like this!

Awesome video, would love to see you do a cloud 9 video of what went wrong in the past ALGS split.

Bro your channel is gonna grow so much with amazing content like this looking forward to it!

This is such a great video. It gives great context to all the specific problems and situations that happened

Very well done video, just like the others. I would love to see your analysis on well performing teams and how they perform well as a contrast to these type of videos.

these are by far the best breakdowns I've ever seen. So well articulated and digestible

Love the long form vids and bringing some context into the chaotic format of br. Helped me understand the game a lot more!

Just found your channel on my feed and this was honestly wonderful to watch. I love how you call out the plays that were being made, decision making from the team and unorganized team work. Definitely a sub! 🎉

Man, this video kept my whole attention for the entire 37 minutes - you deserve 10x the amount of subs you currently have bro - keep up the good work and this style of ALGS videos

I love Snipe and Alb but this Faze roster was a disappointment to say the least. I hope all three players find their place with teams that fit them. I think this team could have done so much better if they had been forced to qualify for ALGS and used that time to learn to play with each other Edit: great video as always! I can't wait for the next one!

Nice work JHawk, these summary videos are really good and interesting Oh, and don’t ever apologize for a long video!

Love the content, keep it up and don't worry about the length of videos. You did a great job of keeping the video interesting the whole way through.

man the fact you have clips to explain every single one of your points is just amazing, i loved this video, one of the best apex vids ive seen lately, and the lenght was PERFECT for me

The quality of your video really amazes me man. Keep up the good work!

best video yet mr.hawk, keep up the work im expecting bangers after LAN

Another Sunday, another Jhawk banger.

Woo, this should be good, congrats on all your quick growth, wishing you the best of luck going forward!

Glad to be on that small percentage of subs, you really deserve it. Also, great video, idc how long it is, since your work is excellent getting as much details as needed. Looking foward for more apex pro scene videos, keep the good work!

im happy to finally see some competitive Apex on KZfaq. Keep up the good work. Hopefully we can see some tips for playing competitive Apex as well!

At the end of the day, this Faze teaches us that. the most valuable player/role in the game is the IGL. no matter how good you are as a Fragger. if you're 3 stacking fraggers is not going to end up well in the end. When it comes to the High play matches, you're not playing Apex anymore. it's turn out to be a chess game. It's really cool watching Hal, Sweet, Noc, etc perfectly reading their opponent's next step.

Exactly albs problem on TSM. Thought he knew it all, Hal had to show who was the igl multiple times.. he was a cancer to the team and any other team he’ll be on. Blames his teammates on all of his mistakes

Really great video man. with the severe lack of content about algs, it’s dope to see people like you helping out the scene. Keep it up bro

Glad you were able to use the podcast for this video. Appreciate you! Great video.

this video is longer than faze's apex team career ;)

I come from Overwatch and never played Apex much. But the team comms and dynamics are vastly different and so interesting. This game is very tactical and the learning curve is also crazy steep. Enjoying all the content so far!

A watch party with your analysis and commentary would be really fun. I did watch some of these games and it was uncomfortable on occasion. I've said this before, you do a great job with the production and your insights and analysis. I know there was trouble with this squad but you laid it out well. Keep up the great work dude.

Dude, your videos are awesome and super interesting!! Please do more! I will see them even if they last an hour!

alb is a terrible igl pretty much

There is a fine line between keeping your team accountable and screaming at them

These videos are so interesting. I would never know the little details without it. Excellent job dude.

Ever since I saw your three other vids, I’ve been waiting for this one! Quality content.

I really appreciate the breakdowns and analyzing of in-game comms, it's nice that you allow the situations to play out and save the commentary for before or after. Subscribed.

first vid, and this was a really solid watch!! can't wait to binge all the others :)

I've binged all of your videos so far, you are incredible !!!

just earned a sub, can't believe people aren't subscribing. without a doubt THE best ALGS channel out there. can't wait for the channel to keep growing, keep up the god tier videos!

great video! I didn't expect to actually watch the whole thing but you got me. Don't be afraid to go longer as long as you're still making good points and it doesn't become an hour long reiteration of the same points over and over or rambling.

Real great content. Glad i found your channel

Found you off the comp apex subreddit and i love your videos! super high quality work!

I needed this kind of content, you are doing an amazing job right here talking about apex competitive. I'll be waiting your next videos about LAN, such a great videos

Awesome vids mane. Love to see a video about snipe, dropped and sweets rogue team and where they came today.

This is such a very well made video for a channel of you size, keep up the good work!!

So glad I found your channel! The educational value from this is so high! One day I would love to analyse for a team (: Thank you once again for the amazing videos!

Love these type of videos, even if they're long it feels like I wanted to keep on watching more. Great work

Truly a great video, really good analysis and breakdown. Great job! For me such long videos are better than shorter ones, because u can put much more interesting information and analysis. So I will be glad to watch even 1-2 hours video. And I have a question: is there any possibility that you will make breakdown video for teams for other regions? I suppose EMEA ("my" regions) can tell us ton of good and interesting stories. For example CIS team GG (ex-Gambit) was dominating through half of the past year, having 1 and 2 places of pro league, 3 on regional playoffs. And now they are barely stay in pro league making 22 place. Can be a good source for video about what went wrong and interesting to see at least for me Anyway you did a great job in this video, got my subscription!

Great work on these vids. You should make a prediction video for LAN.

dude your videos are so well put together, the music, commentary, choice of wording. it’s a masterpiece

Just subbed, I seen you video on free agency a while ago and couldn't remember the name of the channel then found this in lol nice work man

Great fucking vid. The script felt tight (only mention it because I saw your post) and I think as long as you can keep that flow the length of the video won’t have a negative impact. Also appreciate how you framed everything and letting the plays breathe so we can get a lot more context as opposed to just seeing a 30 second clip where they die or wipe.

I delayed watching this video because I wasn't in the mood for a long vid, saw it again on reddit and figured f it, after about 5 mins I was more than interested. Really enjoyed the quality and your breakdown of the team, wouldn't even have minded if it was longer haha. Looking forward to future vids!

I just came across randomly and I dont even play apex or care for it. However I've watched the vid all the way through and I'll sub. Just wanted you to know your video was very good at holding my attention even if I ddon't really know much about apex. Good job.

Had to subscribe...great videos...i wish you the best ✌🏽🙃

Amazing work on this video! New sub! Would love to see more of this type of videos about the ALGS teams like G2, complexity, and more!

The quality just keeps improving with each video, great work my man ! And since you made a community post about it and everyone in the comments is talking about it, personally, I'd prefer 25-40 minute videos when talking about a single team (or person, if you ever make a video like that), it just hits that sweet spot of getting to be detailed about it and keeping people interested. But if the topic of the video is something like the history of algs or an entire region, then I'd totally be down to watch 1-2 hours of that. Definitely love you taking feedback from people and adjusting based off that, Cheers and looking forward to future banger content. P.S For the watch party thing, if it's on youtube I'd most likely be one of your viewers mainly depending on time difference, but there is one thing that's bugging me about the idea though, is it just gonna be a watch-along, because that'd be no different from watching it on your own, my suggestion if ever for that is chat interaction between matches.

Amazing content you are gonna blow up keep up the work!

Great content, man. Definitely would be down for even longer videos. You don't really see anyone else making deep pro analysis content like this and I'm down to go even deeper. I had my eye on Faze when they got together as I was curious how Mac was going to perform as IGL and it went about as well as expected, honestly. Mac's a pretty good ring predicter. When I watched him on C9, he was usually very good at being able to tell where the ring was pulling, and he's an even better fragger, but, yeah, strict IGLing isn't really his strong suit, and you could already see that with C9 considering how much he'd argue with Zach all of the time. Honestly, Snipe felt a little like Zach 2.0 for Alb in some ways. (with Slurp literally being Naughty in the 'just give me clear instructions on what to do' energy that they both give off, lol) I hope the best for all 3 players though.

I love these videos. Amazing job, bro. Hope to see more from you

your vids have been really great quality so far keep it up

You just gained a sub, good sir! Making these must take hours - or days - so kudos to you and the great content

what i love about ur videos (apart from them being really good in general) is that you are using the old apex soundtrack

Amazing video, you are going to get lots more recognition putting out quality content like this 🍻

The quality of your Apex videos is incredibly good. Your channel is really underrated JHawk. Can't wait for the next video.

Dope video. Can't wait to see more especially with lan coming up today. Keep doing your thing.

Great stuff man! It would be cool to see the breakdown on well preforming teams as well!

Glad to see someone making videos in this space. Love watching algs but there’s no good content surrounding it. Til now! Keep it up mate

great video, will binge all content for the next month. GJ

Love the videos!! Keep up the work homie

nice videos, viewers can learn alot from this. keep doing your thing

Keep up the great work man really enjoyed all your videos so far

Solid video man. Subbed!

This was fascinating to watch, thank you for making it so well-edited. Have never seen high level play analyzed in format this easy to follow.

dang i normally dont subscribe to people but this was top quality - subbed on the first vid ive seen from you :)

Another great video! It is a testament to their talent given how well they did, considering all the communication/team identity issues they had.

Dude your videos are great!! Keep it up man!!

Bro you content actually goes crazy man keep it up

One of the few subs, loving your vids man the format is so nice.

Hearing alb's rage on comms made me think it was c9 all over again. maybe i'm misremembering but i seem to recall they actually managed to fix their team chemistry somewhat back in the day, kinda sad to see him falling into the same routine

good video, i had stuff to do and kept trying to leave but i stayed because it was so interesting and well made

Great content and coverage of the players POVS, earned a sub 👍

This is great content. Keep it up and you will get an insane amount of subs

Hands down one of the best comp apex channels, no one is doing it like you. Im very engaged the entire video, huge thumbs up.

This videos are sooooo good first time i watched i thought it was a million sub chanel, this is peak content keep it up

what a great compilation and explanation. Good stuff BRO!!!!!! sub 4 u

Dude, the quality of your videos are great. i know youll reach over a million subscribers! Eventually, please expand into other games and their drama/other things to brind a wider audience. You have talent sir:)

These videos are amazing the editing is perfect I love the long videos
