Moist Esports Secure Regional Finals Spot: What Made the Difference?
In an unexpected yet thrilling series of matches, Moist Esports has successfully secured a spot in the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) Regional Finals. This achievement has invigorated their journey toward making it to the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs, leaving many fans inspired and intrigued by their remarkable comeback. But what were the key factors that helped Moist Esports pull off such a significant feat?
A Rocky Start
It wasn’t smooth sailing from the get-go. Moist Esports entered today’s matches with a lot on the line, trailing in 21st place overall—a far cry from the top positions they usually aspire to. Questions loomed large about their ability to even make it to the Regional Finals, not to mention the daunting task of making the Playoffs.
The odds were certainly stacked against them. They needed a combination of stellar performances over the next two weeks and a few fortunate results from other teams. Alternatively, a Match Point win at the Regional Finals could have been their ticket, adding to the significant pressure on them.
Starting Strong
Showing flashbacks of their top-tier capabilities, Moist Esports made a searing start to the day. Their spirits were buoyed by an incredible 17-kill victory, driven in large part by standout individual plays from player iiTzTimmy. This gave the team a necessary confidence boost, putting them on a promising path early on.
Mid-Day Struggles
Yet, as the day progressed, it wasn’t all smooth. Moist Esports faced difficulties on Worlds Edge, a map that has been a stumbling block for them. This development saw them slipping on the leaderboard, raising anxieties among their fans and putting even greater pressure on their performance for the next Sunday’s Regional Finals.
Turning the Tide: The Final Game
Just when it looked like the momentum might have slipped from their grasp, Moist Esports bounced back with a phenomenal final game. By adopting aggressive strategies and seizing control of the match, they quickly established a prime position in the critical final zone.
They faced and overcame substantial competition, eliminating Cloud9 and Vanity to finish in the top two. Though they eventually fell to LG—who had an extraordinary run on Worlds Edge—this stellar performance was enough to edge past TSM by a single point.
This crucial win not only booked their place in the Regional Finals, but it also propelled Moist Esports into a LAN position. They now glide comfortably within the top ten, sitting on 66 points and holding an eight-point advantage over Oblivion in 13th place.
Disguised Esports: A Tale of Missed Opportunities
Unlike Moist Esports, the fate was not as kind to Disguised, another team under immense pressure. Disguised started the day in the 28th position overall, a dire scenario by any metric. Despite a remarkable fourth-place finish yesterday, they needed a third-place overall finish today to make the top 20 and qualify for the Regional Finals.
Disguised’s momentum carried them to sixth place by the final game, but they were still 14 points behind Bleed, who held the third position. In a game that demanded an exceptional performance, Disguised faltered. They lost their player Enemy early and found themselves in a precarious position between Geyser and Lava Siphon, rendered vulnerable by MPIRE hovering above them.
Unable to recover from their disadvantaged position, Disguised ultimately fell short. Only four points separated them from Tempr in 20th place, marking a heartbreaking end to their ALGS Split 2 campaign.
Looking Ahead
While Disguised may have missed out on the Regional Finals, their collective 220 Playoff points should secure them a spot in the Esports World Cup and eventually the ALGS Championship. For now, their focus will undoubtedly shift to these future opportunities.
As for Moist Esports, their dramatic turnaround serves as a testimony to the unpredictable and exhilarating nature of esports. With a place now well secured in both the Regional Finals and a promising LAN spot, they’ve set themselves up for what could be an impressive showing moving forward.
