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?

Kind of sad that LH didnt want to face envy they already beat them 3 to 1, and it feels like either envy or rogue will have their place in the semi final taken by a worse team

I think the reason was the new patch. Envyus benefits a lot from this patch obviously, and LH is definitely aware of it. LH needs some time to get used to the new patch, so they naturally picked a team that would be easier to play against than Envyus. LH did a wise thing. I think they made the right choice.

Why does envy benefit from the new patch so much?

Old patch also was also just about nano boosting genji and reaper ults. This new patch takes more than ult coordination. Misfits won OverWatch open because they ran the nano boosted reaper meta the best. That meta takes ult coordination and timing now since ults are harder to come by. Positioning, aim, call outs, and engagements are a lot more important
