Western teams for APEX S3?

It starts in 3 weeks!

Pick 4 :D

EnVy
Misfits
Rogue
NiP

Team Envyus
NRG E-sports
Rogue
Ninjas in Pyamas

really hoping for selfless and rogue

There's only 2 spots this season I think, but sure:

Rogue
Selfless
NiP
Misfits (NOT in the group of death)

Hmmm eUnited mysteriously bootcamping in Korea at the time of Season 3 :joy:

I have a feeling there's only 2 as well.

Rogue
eUnited

Teams I'd like to see but I know they wouldn't be would be.

NRG
Selfless

Rogue
Misfits
NiP
Immortals

Can't be Envy, they haven't played. Rogue and NRG or Selfless.

Misfits
nV
Rogue
Either C9 or NiP, depending or performance.

Envy hadn't practiced until Taimou got to NA which was only the other day. Also Taimou has been quite open about his dislike for sitting in a hotel for 3 months. Doubtful they want to go again.

Rogue
Misfits
EnVy or Cloud9
NiP or eUnited

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.

Idk will see VoHiYo

Rogue
Misfits
Envy
Blank esports (let me dream damn you)

You Guys Get Paid?
Fnatic
Laser Kittenz
Team SoloMid

Best teams to send imo would be Misfits+Rogue

If you have room for two more send eUnited/Selfless and NiP, get to see matchups you've never seen before. Would be WILD.

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

Misfits
Rogue
NiP
LG Evil/selfless/eunited/envy

I would love to see blank here, if they do well at the current tournament I wouldn't be surprised to see them at APEX

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.

Taimou said in today's stream that they won't be playing in season 3. Take that as like you want. Is't OWL on the horizon? Seems a bit silly to participate for almost a year in apex if you planning of OWL.

That was messy. Not sure if you will understand what i'am trying to say.

With OW Pit EU/NA and OW Pacific just starting (going to be as long as an apex season)

Unless teams drop out of PIT/Pacific, its hard to see any team going to S3. Top NA teams will skip s3 for a break and gear up for OWL.
