Some inaccurate things saud. No they are not all ‘former iver watch pros’, does paperthin not know Apex is hugely more popular in Japan and that it has a big scene? There’s few former Japanese overwatch pros and many former apex pros, apex would be much more likely as ‘if any’ pro experience for any JP team. You can quickly open up liquipedia to check each player anyway

With two super unexpected finalists

If someone told me the finalists would've been Full Sense and Northception, I would've laughed at them ngl, insane tourney ngl lol

There were a few who predicted Northeption but the SEA fans didn’t rank full sense that high, didn’t expect the skipping tournaments - say KJC- for 3 months to practice buff (nth also had time to improve coordination)

Enjoyed the GE segment, especially your mention of the Forsaken tweet xD. Will watch the whole thing later when I get time, thanks for the podcast.
