It does feel like the OWL-level pros have recently taken their games to a new level even while watching them casually. Seagull finally streamed again yesterday and was mostly Hanzo and was just shredding people left and right. And then "No Fun" Mercy would just swoop in and rez whoever he killed. I hate this patch.

Going to be some korean vs chinese teams action going on soon. I didn't realize until yesterday that the new anti dive ambush stuff that has been going on in apex came from a chinese team.
Apex has been really wacky this season with upsets all over the place. A newish underdog team is wrecking the established "best" teams and runaway seems back to full strength. Going to be a great finals.

The Seoul cup supermatch thing turned out pretty good. It ran 7 hours with 3 matches. 2 chinese teams and 2 korean.
Miraculous Youngster is really good. Right up there with the Koreans. The Korean world cup team actually got their phalanx strat from scrimming against Miraculous Youngster. I think they might be the team that started setting up the sort of anti dive ambush plays as well.
Lunatic has adapted a bit since getting dumpstered by Busan. Busan's basic strategy was to bait in the dive and ambush the winston, while saving speed boost for retreats if any enemy ults are fired. Miro died a lot less (though he was the first in the whole match to go down and I began to wonder).
Lunatic used the classic crossfire strat against the phalanx, similar to the way it was done on Volskaya long ago with attacks from high ground on both sides of point A. Instead they used Pharah + Widow to keep the Rein guessing on a good shield direction.
If you want to see just the really high level stuff, just watch Lunatic vs Miraculous.
Kongdoo vs Lucky was a bit unfair. Lucky is probably a tier 3ish team in China, and they had a substitute or two. They did have a lady on support and she played really well I thought. Very cool.

Patch notes, Mercy nerf. I wonder why they have a stick up their ass on nerfing Junkrat mines and Ult charge. Hopefully the nerf to Mercy's GA reset reigns her in, but I still feel she has to be picked because she can undo picks. Rez just needs to go as a mechanic.
The GA reset nerf will make her less valuable on offense. She'll still probably still be a must pick on defense.

From watching the matches today on Adelade's stream she is still a must pick sadly. Another 3-4 weeks before another change I guess.

KOTH Map out of rotation due to a bug. Why couldn't it be to 2CP maps?

Apac is on, first tourney I've seen with the new patch (I didn't watch apex challengers). Instead of a series of teamfights and resets, there's one 6v6 and then these huge extended fights with all the resurrections and sustain. Very brawly and hard to follow.
Teams are still divey but the teams weren't playing Lucio so couldn't disengage with speed boost. Winstons are getting pretty good at surviving.
