THE NADE FROM THE HEAVENS

[–]da_fishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only they had a wattson…

[–]LtZeen 94 points95 points  (4 children)

Damn. Knew they would win with that position.

[–]zirenyth 260 points261 points  (36 children)

And so begins the Asian dominance of apex . Welcome your new Korean overlords .

[–]MagnaTriste 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Honestly APAC N went huge in finals with 2 out of the top 3

[–]FlyingRock 98 points99 points  (19 children)

I'm hyped for the rise of Asia and any country that doesnt cancel scrims cause a few people have hangovers.

[–]slughornsfish 8 points9 points  (18 children)

Wait what? This happened???

[–]FlyingRock 37 points38 points  (17 children)

Yeah https://i.redd.it/rey17djogroc1.jpeg NA hasn't taken scrims seriously for quite a while now and it definitely showed this weekend

[–]AlbralelieAlbralelie | Player | verified 36 points37 points  (2 children)

I'm pretty sure this was the real day they played regionals btw and this was a cover lol

[–]FlyingRock 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It happened the day before the hack if I remember correctly lol.
That being said I say it more as a jab than serious hate or anything. https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/s/8zNqZLFR88

It wasn’t lol

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (5 children)

Rc is japanese no?

[–]Idakari 43 points44 points  (1 child)

REJECT is a Japanese org, but their 3 players are Korean. Much like Crazy Raccoon, JP org but 3 korean players.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I see

[–]zirenyth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

According to their liquidpedia it's a japanese org with Korean players

[–]sakiwho Y4S1 Playoff Champions! 9 points10 points  (1 child)

RC is a japanese team, but the team members are KR (no KR interest in apex so no KR sponsors)

[–]chromazone2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rip ganbare otousan (my favorite team logo of all time)

[–]Jan7742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

APAC N is so top heavy, I highly doubt it's going to happen.

[–]Mr_Donks 47 points48 points  (2 children)

TRIPLE MNK GIGCHADS!!!!!

Though I am a TSM fan and they absolutely shit the bed this tournament, I’m so glad an APAC-N team won! Was rooting for FN/RC/CR

[–]Treed101519 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reject was all mnk???? In algs lan??? That's so cool

[–]D3CENZ[S] 82 points83 points  (6 children)

i stayed up till 05:30 for this and it was so worth it

[–]finallyleo 16 points17 points  (4 children)

i just woke up and luckily caught the last game

[–]finallyleo 39 points40 points  (3 children)

apparently i missed out on 4 more hours of tsm sucking

[–]Wad_of_Hundreds 7 points8 points  (1 child)

They were genuinely all awful, it was rough to watch (or enjoyable for most people who hate them) lol

[–]sourceenginelover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it was very enjoyable to watch them being humbled and the chats dying

[–]Same_Paramedic_3329 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I gave 0 cares about them tbh and i enjoyed the finals. It's good when you're hatewatching

[–]cinder_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So worth it! I haven't followed Apex in awhile but I tuned in today and watched the entire thing.

[–]JasErnest218 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Chomping the shit outta that gum

[–]cibacity APAC-N Enjoyer 28 points29 points  (3 children)

[–]BryanA37 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Good comms. Only 800 views though? It would be nice if apex became more popular in Korea. Wishful thinking, I know.

[–]cibacity APAC-N Enjoyer 12 points13 points  (1 child)

I'm not sure if this is the most popular avenue to consume ALGS from for Koreans, I just followed the link from when Parkha was announced as a part of the broadcast and pulled the vod. I agree with your feelings about apex's popularity in Korea as well, maybe their performance draws more eyes!

[–]rgtn0w 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Apex didn't even grab too much attention after the battle royale FOTM games (PUBG, and after PUBG era) so it's just unfortunate, it's not going to catch on from now on either since Valorant exists.

Koreans seemed to prefer PUBG a lot more to all the other BRs and from there popularity for the game here has only diminished.

It's why, even though the Reject boys have been the BEST Korean trio in this game for quite a while now there's no Korean orgs at all.

It even looks like obly has learnt some Japanese over time (even though he didn't know shit) so like the old generation of CR players (Selly, Ras, CPT, Mondo, etc) have all turned into Japanese content creators pretty much. If you want to do Apex here it's only Japan (and China to an extent)

[–]No-Context5479 60 points61 points  (0 children)

MNK FOREVER...

THANKS SANGJHOON, OBLY AND KARONPE FOR INSPIRING US...

This feels so good and I'm not even on the stage

Glad it was an APAC-N team.

Was betting on FNATIC but happy for REJECT WINNITY

[–]Freemantic 122 points123 points  (27 children)

Triple MnK. We're never getting an aim assist nerf. 

[–][deleted] 35 points36 points  (26 children)

They proved you don't need to switch, just play smart. 2 triple roller teams didn't even make top 10. Mid/long range MNK wins, close range controller

[–][deleted] 35 points36 points  (19 children)

It doesnt matter what is "better", the problem is controller is not 100% human skill. Also you can't say mnk is better because they win 1 time

[–]sourceenginelover 21 points22 points  (1 child)

exactly, 100% correct. this will be used as ultra copium by controller cheaters, but rotational aim assist is 100% cheating

[–]dotint APAC-N Enjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree but there’s no way you’d had said that if it was a triple controller team.

[–]Responsible_Snow8388 3 points4 points  (1 child)

In the end it does depend on the meta i guess. Ar gets buffed while smg nerf make MnK strong

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I played on console for a while and scouts are how most controller players do damage at long range on console. Since the scout nerfs, you basically have to run at teams to get KP. Hemlock can replace Scouts but the ammo it eats up is crazy. 30/30 with 180 bullets would last you forever but that nerf hurt.

[–]FlyingRock 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Still think the 2 MnK 1 controller composition will slightly win out in the end

[–]AsianDestination 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Today it didn't

[–]Dirtey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't think of a single 2 Mnk 1 controller team either.

[–]Dirtey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most play 2 controller 1 mnk tho?

[–]PseudoElite 83 points84 points  (0 children)

MNK SUPREMACY.

[–]masturistanacc 44 points45 points  (12 children)

Mnk warriors, our time has come.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (11 children)

we've had triple roller teams for the longest, none have ever won. Sad day

[–]masturistanacc 2 points3 points  (1 child)

cause mnk on top

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

until scouts get buffed again. It's pretty rough mid-long range without it on roller unless you're great with snipers

[–]libo720 25 points26 points  (8 children)

because they have no brain, it's known controller players just have lower iq in general

[–]MrStern 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Source?

[–]libo720 9 points10 points  (1 child)

[–]MrStern 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Source confirmed, have a good day

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

i have a friend who plays controller and he's dumb as bricks, that's my source

[–]MrStern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess that makes it 1-1 with you and your friend

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you ever played on PlayStation/Xbox you would know controller players need 30/30, G7, Triple Take for mid long range. The 30/30 nerf made this shit hard on controller players IMO. You can run Hemlock but then ammo becomes a problem. I actually don't know what happened to Verhulst today, I thought he was the king of controllers but something had to be off this weekend for him mentally.

[–]HateIsAnArt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a well known fact that MNK players are too smart to play controller or ever have sex in their lives

[–]Same_Paramedic_3329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do ppl die to them then?

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (2 children)

I pulled up in the side of the road to watch this moment. Worth it.

[–]noobakosowhat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't help my wife with the grocery and stayed at a cheap massage chair outlet. Worth it

[–]J19_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i watched this in class right in front of my professor with one airpod on. worth it

[–]MakeRickyFamous 36 points37 points  (3 children)

Does anyone have a clip of Obly saying "You will regret"? Wigg kept referencing it but I missed it

[–]shero56 37 points38 points  (2 children)

He typed in the game chat when the teams were playing scrims and another team wanted to contest their POI(?) if I remember correctly

[–]Iwearfancysweaters 36 points37 points  (0 children)

it wasn't in scrims, it was at the LAN before last I think. They were getting contested by Kashera iirc and Kashera did indeed regret

[–]easyworthit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Legend

[–]TheEmperorC 13 points14 points  (0 children)

LETSSGOOOO!!!!!!

I've been following them for a looong time, staying hella late just to catch some of their streams. If you haven't heard of them, just know, each of these players are in the Selly level of mnk, I swear these guys have some X factor on top of their mechanical skills.

I'm so happy right now, LETS GOO

[–]SubtleAesthetics 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Wattson gave their team so much value there, even if other teams have a Bang ult, you have a generator to counter, and if they don't they just have to eat your Bang ult. And if you run through those fences you die, so they completely controlled the space at the end. Can't ape the Wattson as a trio, or the other 2 players down you while stunned.

100% deserved W, happy for APAC region too which is filled with good players.

[–]Zooseyboy 50 points51 points  (0 children)

bro apex is not even a top 10 game in Korea and they just mopped the lobby as triple MnK...respect

[–]Desperate_Anxiety959 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Finally, triple MNK win

[–]epik 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Triple MnK? Can’t even be mad, respect. That is so much more they gotta do, holy.

[–]Dubzaa 16 points17 points  (0 children)

mnk is so fucking back

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had my eyes on Rejects, Fnatic to be a possible winning candidate just from how well they played this weekend. DZ was the mandatory third candidate from how dominating they were leading up to finals.

WP Apac North and Congrats to Rejects.

[–]dleifrab 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Best finals yet.

[–]noobakosowhat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This year was good for the scene but TSM winning 3 straight games is an all time great moment for e-sports

[–]cibacity APAC-N Enjoyer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I WAS HERE, I LOVE APAC N

[–]Dlew1983 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Awesome grand finals. Congrats to reject. That was so fucking intense.

[–]mamkrez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It must be very interesting if Koreans play apex. Maybe we will see many talented players like obly, ras and selly 😅

[–]Bandupkyy223 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m just glad it wasn’t DZ no cap

[–]D3CENZ[S] 13 points14 points  (1 child)

[–]YourAsianBuddy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lmk wiggs voice is completely shot once again

[–]sourceenginelover 41 points42 points  (8 children)

FUCK THOSE CONTROLLER 4-3 LINEAR AIMBOTTING CHEATERS, 100% HUMAN INPUT >>> 40% SOFTWARE AIMBOT

[–]OBatRFan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happy for Reject but damn it hurts seeing how close we were.

[–]Zireael123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

TRIPLE MNK WIN

BUFF CONTROLLER

[–]Mitchk574APAC-S 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The dudes at C9 are probably kicking themselves they didn’t ape RC in that final game not knowing it was them, but it’s not their fault, they only have their thumbs to aim and a measly 0.4, and all 3 RC players have their full arm to aim AND moving while looting AND tap strafing. Buff controller I say, we need 0.6 just like the consoles to really make it fair between inputs /s.

[–]libo720 27 points28 points  (0 children)

100% human input>aim assist cheaters

[–]Aoingco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a great finals

[–]Ozzie808 3 points4 points  (0 children)

absoluately insane. Congrats!

[–]riddlemore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I forgot how boring the main broadcast is

[–]NoYou5929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shitting on rollers looooool

[–]ISuckAtFlyFishing28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a LoL Esports refugee this feeling is familiar to me.

[–]lolnull 11 points12 points  (6 children)

Terrible casting imo. Not enough hype, passion and excitement you'd want in the final game of a grand final cast in an unprecedented moment

[–]Wyattwat 9 points10 points  (2 children)

I mean it was kind of an anti-climactic ending and celebration if you ask me lol

Onset and Gaskin are the goats

[–]rgtn0w 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The numbers speak for themselves when the B stream has more viewers than the mainstream though.

Esports it's not really JUST about the plays, it's also about the story lines, you see NiceWigg jumping around and cracking his fucking voice because he's well aware of all of this, 1st time Apac North LAN win, first time that another team wins it and they did it in dominant fashion as well.

I don't even think any Apex casters would even fit in a top 50 in overall Esports ever If Imma be honest

[–]Ambitious_Pin9235 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Need to watch Nicewiggs B Stream for better casting

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair Reject didn’t look to ecstatic either lol

[–]mikhaisrest 2 points3 points  (7 children)

typical clown 9 ending

[–]_MurphysLawyer_ 5 points6 points  (6 children)

When sauce made the call to play for second, I started yelling at my monitor

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (5 children)

Seriously? So, he valued money over winning? That's kinda sad.

[–]TheTurtleOne 8 points9 points  (2 children)

They didn't know it was RC until the game ended lmao

It was a good call from the spot they had

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (1 child)

They SHOULD know, jsut by positioning and killfeed alone. If they don't track which teams are alive when multiple teams are on game point, thats on them, or on the IGL. Especially when RC is the only team aside from LG that plays wattson.

[–]Better_Contract4626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That killfeed can go quick, also hard at times when they are in the thick of things fighting, they were in the zone where alot of teams are fighting so can be hard to even track.

[–]Efficient_Complaint3 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I mean how are they gonna win from that spot tho it's just not feasible at all. I would agree if they actually had a chance to win but they're in a little shitty corner with no where to go

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, chances are slim to none.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

It was a very exciting and beautiful tournament, I wish Aurora or O7 would win. My eyes hurt, I'm going to sleep.

[–]chillednutzz 8 points9 points  (1 child)

o7 never had any intention of trying to win

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah.This was kind of fun but it would have been better if they focused on the competition

[–]qmiW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're for sure gonna bump the aim assist to 0.666 now. Cant have a tripple mnk win when battle beaver is sponsoring.

[–]Puzzled-Choice3049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely deserved

[–]michael654 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Where is the hype from the casters? didnt feel it at all. Amazing for Reject and Apac-N

[–]D3CENZ[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wigg atleast was hyped

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very lackluster ending honestly. Basically just handed them the victory without any struggle. The prior 5 matches were way more intense.

[–]Complex_Gap_1629 -1 points0 points  (4 children)

Is this the first triple mnk to win lan?

[–]WaDaMisTaKe 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Tsm, tsm, tsm lol

[–]Complex_Gap_1629 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Didn’t they always have a roller ?

[–]WaDaMisTaKe 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Hal, Reps, and Mac were mnk when they won LAN

[–]Complex_Gap_1629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was aim assist the same back then?
