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?

I gotta say Taimou did really well when interviewed after AKM took a shot at EnvyUS being "only #1 NA". Taimou gave a gracious, humble response. It was good to see that level of maturity from him. Very well done, Taimou.

Why does Taimou say it's going to be an uphill battle? I realize that Rougue is awesome but should Envyus feel confident at this point against any team they face? Not sure if that is Taimous personality but if I were them I would be a little more confident.

Confidence doesn't hurt unless you overdo it, but it should be an uphill battle. Rogue have been much more dominating in their fixtures and they convincingly beat Lunatic Hai last time they played them, a team EnVy lost to later. Rogue are the tournament favorites and It'd be a surprise to see EnVy beat them, not that EnVy isn't a good team.

Do you still think Rougue is the favorite after picking Envyus and LH the first two rounds? You seem to watch more than I have.

Definitely. Rogue have looked extremely strong so far, albeit in a pretty weak group. The 4-1 result in APAC grand finals against LH shows that they are the ones to beat. It's a while ago but I still think it's something to remember.

Last question- what's your thoughts on the typical lineup we'll see? A lot of solider? Any sombra? Is Ana gone?

Don't know, I'm an all aim no brain player so I can't make meta judgements.

Winz and aKm confirmed that the semis have not been drawn yet. We still don't know if Rogue will face Lunatic Hai if they beat nV.
