Probably but imagine this group when meta Athena and runaway were at their perk

Possibly, but none of the other teams in the group have looked like they'd be able to take them down as of recent results.

Unless they've found some secret sauce to drastically improve this initially looks like three sets of 3-0 for LH to me. Still, anything can and could happen, I'm just not convinced it actually will here.

Edit: With Kaiser back in Runway Group A is indeed looking like the best candidate for the group of death.

So if Kaiser is going back to runaway and assuming c9 doesn't drop the roster and just replaces him I am curious if Gods goes back to tank. Personally I think they've been at their best when he is at genji.

Group A stacked and group D might have a couple of surprises.

And Gclef just tweeted that Bumper hinted at a Kaiser return to Runaway during group stage. :eyes:

This drawn look slightly anti-climate beside group A. In group B, we seen too many Kongdoo internal battle, rather see them in different groups. Should try to spread the season 3 teams evenly in the group and competiting with the new season 4 challenger teams. something like the world cup draw.

Group A and D are pretty scary.
Also, KONGDOO CIVIL WAR
PogChamp

Edit: Didn't realize Kaiser was going back to RunAway. That makes group A even scarier. And what happens to C9 now?? I say it's better to drop their roster and have Surefour and Adam on the market.

How is Flash Lux still there? They've won 4 out of 26 maps in Apex so far. (Yes, I did the math)

Welp, they got back in through Season 3 Challengers and got lucky in Season 4 since they auto qualified on the count of so many teams disbanding.

I really hope their rebuild bears fruit this Season or else they'll be the worst team to have participated in all four APEX Seasons.

Oh hey, for once LH does't have another probable top 2-3 team with them. The group itself looks good but I think ranks 1-4 will be from one of each group.

Will be interesting to see how all these rebuilt teams deal with the two monsters from last season.

Some of the groups are a bit harder to figure out but here's my totally non final best guess:

Group A

LH
Runaway

Group B

KDP
KDU

Group C

AFB
LWR

Group D

LWB
X6

Group A and Group D are the ones I'm the least confident about but anything can and probably will happen since these teams work so hard on improving themselves.

Edits:

Kaiser's back with Runaway and I think that's enough to put them over Meta Athena for now.
I chose X6 based on last Season and because Conbox lost a couple of key pieces but you never if they'll shake up their group and take 2nd or better.
I didn't consider Meta Bellum because they haven't seemed that solid during challengers on top of this being their first APEX run but the same "anything can happen" clause applies.

Don't think it was any less with them, at the very least there was always one that made it out of groups so competition wise it was equivalent at least.

The one thing I think it will without a doubt improve is the KR lower tier scene since more spots gives more teams a taste of the highest level of competition this game currently has to offer.

Interesting. First season (IMO) that there's no real "group of death." The strongest group probably seems to be group A, with LH, Kaiser Runaway, and MA. Going to be a great season

Yeah, I think groups are relatively balanced this season. Group A can actually be pretty scary though if Meta Athena were to recover their form in APEX 2. Meta did not seem to perform that well against MVP Space in recent BattleRoyal match, and if they continue to play like that RunAway should easily take a win (especially with the return of Kaiser). However, if Meta can come back with a deadly comp with Doomfist and Reinhardt & Zarya buffs, it will become very interesting. I believe Meta is the team that can certainly thrive with these patches, and I really hope they can surprise us many times like they did back in season 2.
Other groups are I think pretty straight forward. Unlike what many are thinking, I think Group D is actually the weakest. X6 seemed to struggle after APEX season ended; Gamsu and Twilight (who I thought were the core) left Conbox; and Meta Bellum were fifth in challengers that were barely able to join APEX.

At the moment, I think LH, KDP, AFB, and LWB are way ahead of the other teams, but I hope the other teams can surprise me. Maybe meta will change with recent updates, and that will allow unexpected teams to rise. I think RunAway, Meta Athena, LW Red, and Kongdoo Uncia certainly have what it takes to bring upsets.

If Flash Lux fails to advance to the next stage again in this season, they should consider disbanding or releasing their roster. Fleta is too talented to stay in a losing team. I want to see him playing in a winning team. He deserves much more than what he is now.

One can wish that both Meta Athena and Runaway make it through groups but it's impossible with LH standing in the way.i wish Meta Athena was in AFB's group so they can go to playoffs FeelsBadMan
