Such a hard match to predict, both teams have clearly proven to be the best in Korea. Runaway beat LH 3-2 last time i belive, which is honestly as close as it gets. My moneys on RunAway on this one, but only because i wanna spam kaiserSMUG.

In Haksal, I believe. Runaway 4-2*

edit - forgot finals were Bo7

As a tank player this match up is going to be a feast to watch. Bumper and Zunba are probably the best off-tanks this season. I want to see less of D.VA and more of Zarya but that probably won't happen. :/
LH might just clutch it seeing how effective the Miro-Esca-Zunba dive was today but I am supporting my boys in pink. GO RUNAWAY!

Hype-train incoming. Some amazing 1v1s to be had again in this re-match. :DDDD

Runaway has the IGL and coaching advantage with runner. They're more likely to stay on board. 4-3/2 Runaway.

Runaway ftw

Agreeing with #2 and #5, if Haksal shows he can dominate the flank side, along with Runner being a great main caller.

Kaiser Kaiser to win :D

really want Runaway to win this, as it'd be such a great end to a tournament run for them. LH is going to put up a really good fight though so by no means is it going to be easy for Runaway

Runaway 4-3

Anybody know what patch this will be played on?

Also is there any way that over.gg can list what version of the game the match is going to be played on for APEX games?

I think this series will depend a lot on the maps played. If the maps are more dive oriented I expect LH to win, but if they are more Rein oriented I expect Kaiser to abuse Miro's Rein and for Runaway to win. I think (and hope) it'll be close though.

RunAway 4-2 ez :D

This will most likely go the full length I feel, with the way the map draft works boths teams should get comfortable picks.

If Esca plays well, it'll go to LH, in my opinion.

Miro vs Kaiser

Whoru vs Haksal

Interesting matchups.

A lot depends on the Tracers though. As Hugo said, ESCA can be the deciding factor

Go Runaway :)

Is this scheduled time when the game itself starts or pre-show? (there was a 1hr pre-show previous season)

The time listed is one hour earlier than the usual timing, maybe it's the start of the pre-show.

I don't usually watch APEX live, but all nighter incoming.

When the game is live all throughout your work hours :C

Hoping RunAway pulls this off purely because of their story. And Kaiser is cool.

HYPE!!!

HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE

I don't want Lunatic Hai's streak to end just now. I want it to continue and reach "Leonardo DiCaprio Oscar level". Sooooo, Runaway for me.

Yea, I'm not proud of myself for wanting that.

Go Runaway :D

esca's singing skills just as good as his tracking skills.

I don't think Esca should play Tracer.

Esca is killing himself more than enemies

Is anyone going to tell Blizzard that the colours on the payload bar are the wrong way around? I can't be the only person seeing it. It's been months.

It is the wrong way around, it was on the main overwatch subreddit a while ago but didn't really gain any traction. Same with comp ow subreddit too.

Holy gg

Updated world rankings?

GG Great Tournament, and i think Whoru with this win solidified himself as maybe the best Genji in the world.

gg but that korean tracer players need to learn how to stick bombs on non tank heroes .

GG LH the best team in the world even with Esca's inconsistent performance.

What a final, was such a good game to watch.

LH just better at 2cp than runaway it seems

GG LH the best team in the world even with Esca's inconsistent performance.

also wtf 3 weeks

Insane series. Really thought RunAway could take it but LH really came alive in the last 2 maps. Esca also seemed to be stepping up at the end of the series but his inconsistent performance throughout the tournament is still something to be concerned about when talking about Lunatic-hai's roster as a whole.

Really hope RunAway can pick up a sponsor for season 4 because with how well they've done this season and how fast they've risen to challenge the competition that kind of talent and potential is hard to ignore if you're a sponsor.

Updated world rankings?

Will be coming within the next couple of days.

What an incredible final, amazing. I love the OGN production, the casting is excellent, the games were unreal and these two teams match up so perfectly. The storylines, the clutch players, the meta, awesome.

Think Jehong on Ana/Zen support, Tobi on Lucio support, Miro on Winston, and WhoRU on Genji all showed "best in world" performances throughout this season on Lunatic-Hai and they shut down Kaiser hard throughout those games. Give me more!

I'll give Haksal the nod over Whoru, and cant forget Nicodgh from Rogue, who is dumpstering everyone in NA with his genji.

I do wonder who the 2 western teams will be. Since eUnited is in Korea, I'd expect them, and unless a top team drops from OW PIT NA/EU don't see a viable 2nd team going that will make it a good showing.

While I think it's difficult to compare NiCO and SDB etc. to the Koreans since they haven't played the same teams even, never mind each other, I definitely think WhoRU put in a higher impact performance for his team and played better than Haksal did. Not just because his team won, but they really won at times off the back of his Genji performances. He's going in with Miro to be fair but he often is the guy who has to step up to deliver the kills because EscA is hit or miss. Haksal and Stitch I think are overall a more consistent pair, but WhoRU played fantastically this season individually imo.

eUnited are going to Korea after PIT - as are Laser Kittenz I believe... that would be an underwhelming cohort to represent the West if it's related.

EscA has been on and off this season but in the semi finals and map 7 here, he stepped up to the ocassion
