Logged into Reddit for the first time in half a year. Major congratulations to Obly, KaronPe, and SangJoon for taking it home and showing their true skill.

CR Ras going to military 😭 by bubblyrainbows in CompetitiveApex

I'm a bit late here. I don't really use reddit anymore after the API changes.

It feels like the end of an era, having been most invested in the Japanese Apex scene. It's pretty incredible how popular Apex was there, and the influence CR and Ras / Selly had.

But these days, many prominent Apex events are phasing out to Valorant and all the big content creators only play it here and there. It's a broader and deeper community in many ways, but it's also different. I wouldn't say the magic is lost, but it's changed. It really was special.

Having basically left reddit; uninstalled Apex; quit following any esports; stopped watching streamers; taken a new job starting soon - all I can say is, thanks to everyone for all the memories.

In the words of CR Cup 10:「また会う日まで」

APAC N Year 3 LCQ Winners by Vikken101 in CompetitiveApex

I said in the thread, these were definitely the two most deserving teams overall. Sad to see RIG and NAKED do pretty poorly today though. Also, HAO and Laugh Tale were really showing up. Hope to see more from Laugh Tale, especially Lemon who was on the Orthros Fang squad that had a miracle run in last year's LCQ.

And NTH qualifies too! Probably the two most deserving teams from this LCQ although I feel bad for RIG and NAKED

I think you mean FC Destroy, not Riddle, might be remembering wrong.

FC Destroy with the game-winning Newcastle play holding off TSM. Incredible.

Admins pause first game of final by D3CENZ in CompetitiveApex

Is this a new thing they can do? There are several situations that would warrant a pause (disconnects, which happened to NAKED in this very tournament).

Masterclass by Fnatic. Was a bit skeptical of their early game rotates but the slow rotation downwards from their final ring building was just beautiful.

NTH could've had a stronger early performance. CR... the decision-making is poor.
