Wow crypto pretty powerful in the right hands. That ult makes a sizable difference when ambushing. I never touch him and just won two matches back to back lmao. RNG probably just blessed me though.

I do like that mobile is getting trash characters not good enough for the normal game.
Loba, for example.

They'll release a new champ that does similar and replaces her on about 1/3 of teams.

Mobile shooters are huge in Asia, last I heard PUBG Mobile was bringing in more money than PUBG proper, and it's mostly from regions like India

Mobile gaming is huge, especially internationally. Mobile Apex has a different dev team entirely too iirc.

I've been experiencing a weird glitch on the Arenas buy screen where it exits out of that screen randomly and persistently. The B button on my controller could be glitchy but that's the only time in any game it behaves like that. Pretty sure it only started since the beginning of the season.

Yeah Apex Mobile is developed by one of Tencents studios, Respawn are just "supervising"

Now I do not know whether I was then a head coach dreaming I was a Saints fan, or whether I am now a Saints fan, dreaming I am a head coach.

Specifically Lightspeed, who also do PUBG mobile.

That said, respawn had an immense number of job listings in the US for mobile, so some part of it is either being custom made for NA audience or they're still quite involved.

It could also be that they have some other mobile project in the works since they're a multi-team studio now

I really dislike how much she's changed the game, because you can Valk ult over everything.

I've been watching champs and with how you're not able to hold people out every single possible piece of cover has a team playing it, when before Valk not all of them could get to those positions. So the winning strategy is try and guess on ring early and bunker up.

This kicked after the Lifeline TT. I caught a reddit post that suggested the buy screen was linked with teammates, so that if they closed the menu, it would synchronize closing yours as well.

Final bracket + seeding points for today's ALGS



NRG really needs to win one of these and this is honestly their best chance in a long time. Nate, Rocker and Sweet are all too good to fall short so often.

idk if anyone else was watching but yesterday's loser's bracket was insane - Alliance, SZ, TSM, 100T, Optic, TL, GMT ... not teams you'd expect to be down there. They all made it in the end but TSM's mental looks destroyed right now.

It is funny how weak some ults are just in general and then they give a character a busted relocation one.

It's more effective than the supposed offensive character's ults in getting kills if you dive behind someone who thinks they have a good position

I think all abilities should be utility based and all damage should come from guns/nades. Give all characters a mix of movement/support/info abilities. That's something Valorant has done a lot better with barring a few instances.

The Pokemon GO PVP tournaments have people masked. But Apex people can just respawn.
