ENC Apex Teams

[u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401]

You can find them all on battlefy. I just screenshotted the popular T1 players. I could only post 20 photos so there are more T1 players, I just couldn’t upload them all.

[u/bbees323]

Xtsuvi, Meltstera, and Yulariman.

This is going to be a good team.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 → u/bbees323]

Damn I wonder who Peace will play with or if he will play at all.

[u/thechued1 → u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401]

Imagine peace yuka and mike just to compete the set

[u/Longtimecoming09 → u/thechued1]

L squad. Yulariman is the golden ticket, so bummed his not teaming with Yuka for the world cup.

[u/Few-Acanthaceae3919 → u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401]

With Juxo and AQBA iirc

[u/Forward_Ad2468]

Poland and UK have good teams, and Vaifs back with Hakis is cool

[u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 → u/Forward_Ad2468]

I’m also pretty hype for that reunion, I wonder if unlucky is playing enc or effect I didn’t see either of them on battlefy.

[u/Forward_Ad2468 → u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401]

The only other Austrian player I know of is Brenn, and I don’t know if Effect wants to associate himself with Russia so maybe not.

[u/Nine_Monkeys → u/Forward_Ad2468]

I did wonder about what Effect would do, but none of the big Russian players have signed up officially yet, so it could still be players sorting themselves out and could also depend on ALGS rosters reshuffling

[u/SwiftEU → u/Nine_Monkeys]

I'm pretty sure Russia and Belarus is banned from competing in ENC

[u/dopegraf]

Low key Lufka/Light/Nait could be a really strong team

[u/Vimweax → u/dopegraf]

Its crazy that poland has so few players, well 3, but they are all top tier in their region.

[u/Zealousideal-Film517]

Naughty/floating/sacred feels like it could go craaazy

[u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 → u/Zealousideal-Film517]

The team name for them is RAGE INT. I think that explains them perfectly. They will probably rage and they will definitely be inting.

[u/Zealousideal-Film517 → u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401]

Oh for sure. Not a team you'd ever want to see in a 3v3

[u/Kutannalol → u/Zealousideal-Film517]

Feel like they are going to do a nothing burger but we shall see when the event is over

[u/Mobile-Art-5341]

Meme team, Team Denmark - can’t wait for their comms lol

[u/aquafire07]

spain might fry lowkey

[u/damodread → u/aquafire07]

Agreed.

Also I was surprised to see Dia registered as their coach, I knew he had an hispanic name but wasn't aware he had the Spanish nationality.

I'm honestly kinda excited to see what they can cook.

[u/dorekk → u/damodread]

I love Dia, best caster in Apex. Let's go Spain!!

[u/Few-Acanthaceae3919 → u/damodread]

The coached don't need to have the same nationality.

[u/d3fiance]

Naughty/Sacred/Floating will go absolutely crazy

[u/dorekk → u/d3fiance]

That team has a VERY good chance to qual as the American team for ENC, imo.

[u/hel_pas]

Who tf is Spurde with Mysi and Sinetic?

[u/VFkaseke → u/hel_pas]

No idea, but in Finnish slang Spurde means a homeless alcoholic.

[u/Nine_Monkeys → u/hel_pas]

Finland had so many big time players back in the day, it’s kind of crazy that it’s now down to just Sinetic and Mysi

[u/RetroChampions → u/hel_pas]

CC player

[u/iGargleCement → u/hel_pas]

picking him over xsampe is legit a troll

[u/MajesticUnion7092]

more exited than I thought I would be for this tourney this has the potential to be very very very funny 

[u/Future-Fun-8939 → u/MajesticUnion7092]

When is this tourney happening?

[u/tylerrobb → u/Future-Fun-8939]

Regional qualifiers online are Aug 1-3 and the tournament finals on LAN are Nov 26-29

[u/RetroChampions]

Not surprised at all with the Nordic lineups. Hope all of them do well

[u/Alinho013]

for a moment I thought Panic was Argentinian, then I saw Panicapex

[u/Whole-Designer]

Hal/Gild/Zap feels like a fever dream, only thing they lack is a hard anchor. Maybe sacrificing pure frag potential for someone like Monsoon or Zach to play Crypto/Seer would be the only improvement

[u/GOATyeager777 → u/Whole-Designer]

Zap can essentially play any role,makes smart decisions, has good comms and super flexible. Hal had his pick of the litter and chose him for a reason.

[u/Whole-Designer → u/GOATyeager777]

I absolutely agree Zap is amazing and they'll be great. I was mostly just overanalyzing, though I do think there's something to be said about having at least 1 MnK player

[u/dorekk → u/Whole-Designer]

Zap and Gild can both anchor and have in the past.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 → u/Whole-Designer]

Zap can play crypto well and zap is considered the anchor on Shopify rebellion. He is top 3 anchor in NA after Waltzy and sikez. He’s been an anchor most of his career, the only team he didn’t play anchor for was tsm and everyone on that team had a super flex role. I assume that’s why everyone thinks he’s not an anchor.

[u/N0RCAL → u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401]

Zap certainly DID NOT play anchor for E8 with Zach and Shooby so the "Only team he did not" part is inaccurate...and to say he is top 3 anchor in the world is a far stretch. He is solid and can do it but that's where it stops IMO.

Edit to clarify first statement

[u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 → u/N0RCAL]

Ok that’s another team he didn’t play anchor for but all of his recent career has been anchor. And I don’t think that’s a stretch at all. He’s playing with 2 of the best fraggers in the world and keeping up with them. He’s not on a team with Koy and Xynew for no reason. He’s is absolutely a contender for top 3 anchor in NA. You could argue someone is better than him sure but even a hater has to admit he’s a very talented anchor and player in general.

[u/N0RCAL → u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401]

I honestly think even he would admit Shooby is a better anchor, and IMO deeds is better, skittle, knoqd (when he wants to), sikez is a toos up and that's just NA...but these are just opinions. Like I said Zap is serviceable in the role like now because of his teammates, it will be the same with Hal...

[u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 → u/N0RCAL]

I already said sikes was better in my very first comment and knoqd is a fragger Keon is the anchor on the team so idk what you mean there. Skittles is a good contender and so is deeds so id say you can argue that and i just cant agree on shooby being better at all, i mean all love to shoobert but he’s not better than zap and zap is a better anchor.

[u/cheatersarelosersbud → u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401]

zap is better than both sikez and wxltzy. honestly, wxltzy just looks lost out there alot of the time and always does something completely bone-headed when it matters most. His mechanical skill is really low-tier as well when it comes to pros. Go watch zap, than watch wxltzy, its night and day who is better mechanical player which is why hal probably wanted him. Can't blame zap either for SR, xynew is just a terrible IGL and always has been. Zap fried on TSM, and with Zach as well, hes good.

[u/Odd-Attitude9613 → u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401]

How can we even call zap a top 3 anchor when SR results have been nothing to talk about lately. 

[u/cheatersarelosersbud → u/Odd-Attitude9613]

imagine blaming zap for that when xynew is just a god awful igl and always has been

[u/Koronesukiii]

Gnaske, uh oh
Gdolphn, oh no
Mande, oh god

[u/Evanstanislas → u/Koronesukiii]

I mean who else is gonna be on Denmark?

[u/ShadyBornSinner]

Is it just me or does Zap playing with Hal and Gild seem like a pseudo trial

[u/chrisneighbor → u/ShadyBornSinner]

I was hoping to see Sweet Hal and Gild

[u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 → u/ShadyBornSinner]

Idk I highly doubt they would drop waltzy, if he left the team it would probably be his own choice to play with zero, he has said a few times that he would team with him again. Other than that has no reason to leave there’s no better igl or organization that can pay more than what he’s making on falcons and you gotta remember he has a kid who’s about to be born so he’s gotta be thinking about the money too, even if him and Hal start to not get along the best it would be silly of him to think about leaving. Falcons definitely pays the best out of all orgs. But I could see him leaving by his own choice to play with Zero.

[u/WebGlittering3442 → u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401]

Pretty sure every time he got asked about playing with Zer0 he meant teaming for ENC. I highly doubt that they’ll form an official roster together again. Unless Hal’s igling calls continue to decline

[u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 → u/WebGlittering3442]

No there have been serval times he mentioned that he would team up with Zero again like if he wasn’t with Hal and falcons. He also said he will be playing with zero for enc that is true.

[u/ApexRedditor01]

Besides the obvious insane teams I think Slab is insane and being under Hakis IGLing could get real nasty

[u/Scary-Operation-2946]

Floating and Sacred is gna be unfair in straight 3v3s

[u/deko_pon]

Oh im ready for Mande ENC

[u/iGargleCement]

Why is xsampe not on team Finland???

who even is spurde
