One that fields a 6 man KR roster, apparently.

C9 Busan???

C9 Kongbusan?

i think it will be NY busan. since Fl0wer wont play in OWL coz of his age, they are gonna use gc busan.

Imagine GC Busan with rascal instead of Hooreg PogChamp

Their storyline shows that "Anime is real!" :D, would be really nice to see them in OWL and if they are able to follow up a good showing in OWL after this dreamlike run in Apex (best esport Story i witnessed so far^^) #Royalroaders

I hope they're not the New York team. Could see them combining into the London team though.

I have a feeling it's New York, but I just personally don't think they are a good fit, and won't even be consistently good.

As a New Yorker I'd love to have them here honestly.

Its someone who already bought a kr team, so surely it is C9 right?

As for fielding both could it be 6 players from each to be a 12 man roster or one for OWL one for non-OWL events? Hmm.

Transport to Busan PogChamp

As a New Yorker I wouldn't

Interesting. Wonder if Jack from c9 or the NY team guys think they are just gonna buy 12 Koreans from two great teams and hope they can make one amazing team out of them.

gladiators of the new age aka the "e-sport athletes" handled around like slaves for the person who pays the most for them, this OWL thing is getting kinda disgusting and pretty unhuman

Not sure how the current "best team" in APEX can't be considered "consistently good" though. I'm not 100% sure about NY since the Libero rumors would create an odd situation with SBB, Libero, Hooreg and Profit but with a pool of players that talented to choose from it's hard to believe they wouldn't be able to compete.

NY need a proven flex support, flex DPS (if not counting Libero) and imo a proven flex tank since Mek0 had been struggling in the later stages of his last couple of APEX runs.

I'm not quite convinced they're going to NY but if they did I'm in the opinion that it would only make the team stronger.

NY TRAIN COMFIRMED ? (bastion skin plz blizz)
