RunAway still have a soft spot in my heart after APEX S2. I won't be awake for this one, but, regardless, RUNAWAY FIGHTING!!

Very interesting that MY prefers the slower comps with Rein/Zarya and either McCree or Reaper with a Tracer. Worked pretty well against Runaway since their Winston just couldn't do anything for most of the match. Bit weird seeing Haksal on Lucio and Bumper on Zen though.
MY looked much better than the last time I saw them play in the Premier Series. Runaway on the other hand looked like they were never able to figure out an effective way to deal with the opponent's comp but I'm still hopeful they can learn from this and come back with a possible solution.
I'd say most of these are closer to tier 3 Korean teams tbh. X6 made it the furthest into APEX but they seem to not have been able to show that here for some reason.
But yeah, this looks good for Chinese teams as it seems like they may be catching up a bit. Maybe we might see them do much better than they did at APAC 2016!
Chinese scene is definitely catching up but remember the reason it was so impressive before that KR was slamming these cups: they're on Chinese servers. Korean teams are playing at a ping disadvantage compared to all of the cn teams in Shanghai. We'll have to wait for APAC to see a true test for CN, or you can extrapolate from their world cup performances against people I guess but it's not a set team.
