It starts in 3 weeks!
Pick 4 :D
EnVy
Misfits
Rogue
NiP
NA: Rogue/Selfless(EnVy doesn't seem overly excited to go? Don't know tho)
EU: eUnited/NiP
I'd like to see Blank(Fusion Girls) play an international stage, maybe they get a chance in the promo tourney(since Ithink they already play koreans fairly often) but I don't know if Apex does non korean teams in there. Not sure if this is the right tournament for it but what else is there for them to go to.
I honestly prefer your list the most. I would prefer see selfless than NiP as the latter hasn't seem to adjust to the new patch too well imo and selfless has definitely proven themselves as a competitive team on this patch (taking 4 of 10 maps from rogue...). Sadly i think invites are based on position in major tournaments, which selfless hasn't gotten too much time to prove themselves in
edit: which makes it likely Immortals might get invited above all else if they had extra slots for NA teams even though selfless "wrecked" them
Fastest way to kill the APEX hype for Westerners would be to invite non-star teams like LG Evil / Immortals / Fnatic imo.
As to your point about NiP not adapting well to the new patch, they actually wrecked eUnited in the only game they've played vs another top team so far (though eUnited looked off their game that series too). Gotta wait til we see them in the PIT playoffs before saying they're not as good as they once were. NiP could still win.
