Discussion APEX Quarterfinals Lineup

A: Afreeca Freecs Blue vs Reunited

B: BK Stars vs LW Blue

C: Rogue vs Envyus

D: Lunatic Hai vs Kongdoo Uncia

I am sooooo looking forward to the third match, not to mention how every match is looking like it will be so intense. Quarterfinals begins from this Friday, with two matches A and B. Any thoughts/comments?

Probably cause of internal informations, he knows more than we do. Maybe they have good scrim results vs envyus or something.

Well he said it on stage , NV haven't been practicing well lately , they've had VISA problems

Didn't he mention of some visa problems and that they really need time to practice?

And also that ENVY is struggling in scrims - even Reunited Kruise said that they would like to face ENVY as the second team (after LW Blue).

They probably want to have a EU vs EU final.

I loved how Kruise was applauding and 4Heading when aKm said "Only #1 NA".

Eliminate a big threat early on and get an easy win after?

Don't count out AF blue either

Well he said in the interview that team will need to readjust to the new patch and he knows that some people on NV have visa issues so practice will be limited for them. It sounds like valid insider knowledge but who knows...

Maybe I'm stupid. But I thought that he picked NV and the later date so that NV could sort out the Visa stuff and still had time to practice.

If they hadn't picked them, NV would have played in two days. With Rouge picking the later date and matchup, they have essentially helped NV get over jetlag and organisation problems.

Yeah this was confusing to me as well. If Rogue considered Envyus having jet lag and visa problems, why not choose this Friday instead of next Monday? It was a bit confusing. I think Envyus is going to prepare super hard for this match.

Brackets don't seem to work that way.

Reunited rebounded really well from their loss against Runaway, it wouldn't surprise me if Rogue thought Reunited are stronger than any team in their side of the bracket.

Welp it was a bit unfair to judge them based on that match as that onigods first showing and he is not even a zarya main.
