Also for anyone wondering… no that pic is not Xynew. It was his Twitter pic at the time of editing. He changed it since then.

I love Teq. His passion for the game and ability to compete with the best of the best while working full time as an aerospace engineer is amazing. I wish him the best in his Apex career.

Yea you can't blame Xynew, same thing we saw happen with Verhulst. That being said I agree we need something like a trade deadline if the league wants to have unsigned teams competing. Upcoming teams will always be at a disadvantage without it.

It's obvious to see how much effort and improvement you're content is undergoing. I look forward to your videos every week. You're killin it man

Ayo Hawk, wanted to let u know that ur content does get better and despite not having the 6-7 digit views or subs, u are doing a great job researching and explaining whats happening in the Esports Apex scene. Ur videos are so valueable so thanks alot.

Yeeeeeah your content is insanely clear and concise. I love how you are able to show us your thought process with clips and know when to explain stuff Vs just letting us see it first. That is huge. Keep it up

Great video. Big improvement in just a few months! There's no way TEQ has lost the most in Apex as he tweeted though. A few examples spring to mind, like MaxStrafe qualifying to 3 LANs as a strong team and not being able to go due to the war, and Aurora who were denied an opportunity ar LAN when they were at their absolute peak and looked poised to make waves at LAN. That was the second LAN they missed for the same reason.

I just wanna say man , I watched this video twice( and working on third lol) and I did not look at the time bar at all. I could have sworn this was a 13 minute video by the way it just ran so smoothly. So concise , clear and engaging. You should have seen my face of surprise when at the third watching I noticed it was over half an hour. Amazing job man , cheers 🥂.

These videos are some of the best Apex content period. Thanks man! Keep it up. Subbed and recommended to friends

been binging this channel, thank you for these videos.

Shouting you out in my next video along with Jumba, without you guys' inspiration i never would have created the video ill be releasing next week, and i truly believe you both deserve way more, the content is always top tier

Your consistency is insane bro, very glad to see you getting the recognition you deserve in the community

JHawk making the best competitive apex content out there, this shit is so interesting and its backed up by good editing and audio mixing. Good shit

binging all ur vids man these are great. keep making these please i love em

My little brother asked who Jhawk was, and i simply responded, "the goat of all apex content creation" No one can say his older brother didn't have good taste in youtubers!! Keep it up man!!!!

I was hoping they's make Lan despite that, must be so heartbreaking to finish 12th

The drop on TSM....... was a moment of pure satisfaction ahaha. Great vid as always.

Thanks man, good stuff! T'was a great watch. Really inspiring me to try and make my own content about apex.

Next time i would like to see a reset video about Lanimals! Great video Keep going💪

Higgh quality apex deep dives yet again. Great content J, I look forward to your videos.

I honestly think one of their biggest issues is the fact that Teq is the only one with comp experience and it shows. I think if they end up trying again next year they have a very good chance to make finals. I do also agree that the comms are a BIG issue, I could barely hear anything besides “cracked” the entire wraith crypto fight and they were all talking at the same time when they made plays which made it hard for me to hear much less them when they’re trying to fight + listen to comms. I think the biggest issue with their comms is that they are used to ranked comms where you’re mainly fighting diamonds/masters and not having to fight other pros. You can hear that they have no idea what things need to be commed & what comms to filter out.

Good vid. Really learned a lot of stuff watching your videos. I need to see a COL video next😁

Thanks for this Video. Although i know of TeQ and Meat, i haven’t followed them closely. Now ill pay a little more attention… i dont know whats more interesting-stories i dont know or ones that i already follow, either way you make it very interesting,love your documentaries! Looking forward to more from you ✌🏼

Jhawk is the 🐐 of apex content. I've watched most of your videos multiple times

Another JHawk banger! Keep up the good work good sir!

Your analysis and commentary are S tier. Teq earned a new fan, i really hope he sees this video and reacts to it

Had a thought while watching this. If JHawk is able to keep these videos going for a while (hopefully so) then he is like making a database of the history of pro league

The coms were just awful. The IGL has no room to talk or make decision with the other two yelling like crazy and saying the most dumb and useless information mid fight

Great analysis as always

I reeeeeeally enjoy tus videos, good job!!!

this is a certified banger. keep it up man

The wraith crypto combo is actually nuts after seeing this. Maybe dropping the Maggie for a lifeline pick would b a good call for them, would allow for fast resets after aggressive challenges and with care package they could get at least one armor above white shields. Or even a loba for the loot and shields and she could q in next to the wraith portal for an off angle while the enemy focuses the two teammates coming from portal

IDK why, but hearing it transition to 'Problem #1 Worlds Edge' cracked me up, the absurdity of hearing that one of their problems was an entire map, not something like team composition, poi, or comms, its just their playstyle on an entire map as a whole, props if you said that with a straight face.

Great vid. Wish funq made it to LAN. But thanks for clearing up all the roster change rumors. I never heard teqs side of the story.

The intro gameplay is cut so good. Love to see an underdog team drop on TSM and wipe them clean.

Best Apex Content out there =)

thank you for the vid

Great analysis

Amazing breakdown as always, learned a lot from this thank you!

Man, just finished the video. It's hard to see Apex Roster Lock working against teams rather then with. Anyways, the video was great my man!

Oh yeah baby JHawk upload

You think adding Survey Camp tunnel to Sky East would make it a viable edge play POI? You have a massive balloon in storage room for an initial rotation too.

Not gonna lie out of all of the Apex Content / News I think the way you portray the Situation of certain groups is Really top tier, I think it would Neat thought to have some "subtitles" not the default one, to relay your info more clearer and Also I think you would be amazing doing also Apex news lol

Quality is getting better and better, no does it as clinical for apex algs, set that bar broski

Thought this video was just going to be about Dark Zero snaking Xynew at the 11th hour

For some reason, I draw parallel between Teq and Karrigan from Faze CSGO, incredible IGLs who can spot new upcoming talents and able to nurture them but gets the short end. But hey Karrigan got his wins too so I can only hope Teq gets the same.

Ridiculously fire content bro

it's crazy that there's no roster lock until that close to Regionals, it puts so much power in the hands of signed orgs. I know in Valorant they have a lock at the beginning of the season, and I think it's been hugely important. It's helped protect the Tier 2 side of the game, who can compete for promotion without the fear of losing their players, and it's helped highlight wehich orgs have good stable roster building (Fnatic, EG, C9) and which teams are absolutly awful at it. IMO with Apex, they should lock the rosters at the start of the season, and then maybe open up trade windows during certain breaks.

next apex content out there keep it up

JHawk video!!! POG!!!

The frag east beacon is unhittable cuz its in dead space and frag west can just kill u but otherwise good vid

hey, would it be possible that dark zero didnt inform teq of the decision that they made because they didnt want meat lovers to quall for lan because they land the same poi as them and they dont want to lose because of the 50/50 scenario?

Problem No.1 did make me giggle a bit. Just seeing "Problem No.1, Worlds Edge" 😂😂😂😂

Let’s go just got home first thing imma do is watch this

I agree with ur suggestion, I think adding this rule might actually help the community so they never go through this again, it’s just sad for tech n Bou

Intro gave me chills

Yo that crypto-wraithe combo was crazy. Way over my head

love PVPX but he's just shifting the problem on someone else. He's saying "oh but what do WE do? Think about poor us." Like sure it's bad sharky left but why not just keep Rambeau there are no victims there. Look at free agents, but for him to say "what do we do" is so hypocritical because he's just prejecting his situation on Meat Lovers. Keeping Rambeau is by FAR the best outcome, but DX wasn't up for that for some reason even though they did really good with Rambeau

0:12 damn I didn’t even know Tyler Durden played apex.

You converted me to a Teq fan in the first 9 minutes of the video

in sports there is something called a transfer window, and also for an org they need to have a sub or 2 ready, from an academy or something but also its about budget but ye, i think darkzero have a % of blame in this situation but like teq said saying no to a bag is bit stupid for apex because there isnt much money involved in pro scene, especially for a full time pro player

Bruh. PVPX talks as coherently as I expected.

💯💯💯

Teq on ESA as IGL would make sense. They have a similar situation of getting players put on bigger orgs after a successful season. Teq would essentially be that threshold of making it, idk just spitballing though.

I feel bad for tea after reading his twitter rant. He’s been pushed around but he’ll still continue

Sometimes "they don't have pro experience" is just not a good argument. How will they get the experience if they don't go for it. Same vibe when an employer looks for young people but 10 years of experience is needed. Lol, anyway, great video!

Proud Teq mod, calling it rn meat lovers will be at lan!

Zynew had experienced comms. Fuhhnq had good comms, but cluttered by a bit of real time ego or lack of trust.

Has there ever been an unsigned team at lan?

I don't know what it is, but Teq always seems like the villain of comp Apex. Almost every time I'm spectating a team that gets griefed by Teq's squad, a player immediately gets incredibly salty about Teq specifically and it's always absolutely hilarious. Dude's the Kobe of Apex in that regard, lol. On a more serious note though, the biggest issue with having stricter roster deadlines is the fact that players aren't contractually obligated to even finish the season with a team, it seems, which is the biggest linchpin in all of this to me. It's also the only real form of 'power' players have over their careers in this scene besides their sheer skill. And as much as I love the idea of more sub usage in e-sports in general, I also don't think players should be getting signed just to sit on the bench all season. Players want to play and people want to see players play. I think the larger issue here is that e-sports, as a whole, doesn't make any fucking money to begin with. There are so few orgs that actually turn a profit, and thus monopolize most of the scene, and in-turn make the majority of 'pro' players less motivated to play because they don't know when the next pay day's gonna come, which is why scrims are always so awful because players are constantly questioning how much of it even fucking matters when it's barely contributing to their livelihoods, yet they have to commit so much of it to the game. There is no real easy answer to this issue outside of e-sports in general finding a way to dig itself out of the deep hole its in, which doesn't look very likely, honestly. Jut my take though.

i remember in snipe's and fallout podcast i think. teq said somehing like he doesnt have any blood with xynew and it will be really dumb for xynew even to decline dz offer (higher placing team and salary). hella respect for teq and this algs rule is dumb

Nothing like getting home from a hard day of work to lay on the couch and put on a new Jhawk vid 😎

Xynew and Fuhhnq need to literally just clean up comms and turn their mic volumes down and literally raise Teqs. One of them also needs to be Teqs side kick to calls, kinda like how Sweet and Hal have Nafan and Reps. Teq needs a definite side kick in comms

bro this team comms is a huge problem, you cant have 3 plans the same time , i felt like they dont respect their igl enough to trust his calls

Teq is the doug censor martin of Apex 😂

whats the music

Completely agree the blame is on ALGS. The fact that their LAN is already so far removed from pro league is ridiculous. I hope they figure crap out because being able to change a teammate the week before finals is just brain dead. I think viewers and pros would appreciate a trade deadline halfway through pro league and a Lan that falls in the same season and meta that pro league wraps up with.

❤❤❤

teq and ahrdecki signed team imagine

Why did sharky retire?

DreamFire Plz! DreamFire went into LAN both times with 2 subs and got in the finals once. Now with their full squad I really hope they could get nice rank in LOndon

Wait wtf the didnt qual. I swear i saw them top 3 like 4 weeks in. Can't wait to see Teq continue to troll away his teams success.

W vid

I feel like Valk instead of Maggy would be beneficial for this team

Hope DZ burns at LAN not bc of Xynew but seeing Gen, Zero, and PVP would be hilarious. Especially PVP at this point with his entire “I teamed with Teq he was a friend I respect him”

Teq should make his own org and then sign his team and when people try to poach his teammates he at least makes money from them getting bought out by the orgs

i would love to see a video of the tripods , they’re improving so much and seeing how they were back then till now would be epic

Teq is a 3000 IQ person. This was so bad to watch the “fall” especially after a player was poached

I haven't played in months, but they still haven't touched the Nemesis, eh? It's still busted as fuck?

I’m a dark zero hater after that whole situation tbh

So, other ALGS teams are essentially the talent pool ALGS teams can take from? That doesn't seem right at all.

This just shows how disorganized ALGS is. Not having transfer/trade rules in place similar to pro athletic sports allows for some odd barely ethical situations.

i was rooting for them and drug free...😢now this just hard to watch

I wonder how much DZ pays their pro player

next video: How nickmercs cracked lanimals and became champs when?

can we all say competitive apex is easily the best br to watch?

I root for them because Fuhhnq killed me in pubs once

What DZ did is scummy stuff. Saying they should not get any flack just because they didnt break any rules is like saying scalpers are respectable people because they dont break any laws. Try telling this to people looking for GPUs during the pandemic. Really really should have replied to TeQ on who they were taking earlier.

Teqular the goat 🤞🤞

Nah, if at any point you're skirting by with "it's technically not illegal", then you're a POS. DZ 100% holds most of the blame here. By saying the rules should be changed is really just admitting that what DZ did was shitty and that we should ban it from happening again. They gave Teq a couple hours to find a teammate. Trying to dismiss that with "well it's not against the rules" makes zero sense.
