What to expect from Legacy v. Apeks
It seems like we have seen this movie, Apeks against a Brazilian team, but this one is new. To conclude the Apeks v. Brazil trilogy, the Europeans will face Legacy, who couldn't overcome GamerLegion yesterday. If we look at the results, this is the best matchup Legacy could have hoped for, as Brazilian squads are currently undefeated against Apeks. In contrast, there is a historic record of Asian squads knocking Brazilians out of tournaments, so, thankfully, no Lynn Vision nor The Mongolz.
To Build a Legacy
Legacy were expected to be on their way back to Brazil by now, but thanks to an incredible upset win over FURIA, Marcelo "coldzera" David and co. bought themselves one extra life in Copenhagen. Unfortunately, they couldn't keep the momentum going as they faced Cloud9, who qualified 3-0 yesterday, and GamerLegion who are on the brink of qualification today. Today, they have the chance to become the third BR team to beat Apeks in the event and get closer to qualifying for the next stage.
-
coldzera's and NEKIZ's experience can be crucial today
-
The young core needs to be more active
-
Exploit Apeks passive AWPing style
Third time's a charm?
Apeks haven't looked like their old selves in Copenhagen, with a lot of cracks and inconsistencies. Everyone is underperforming except Ådne "sense" Fredriksen who has been the loudest member of the squad and has been vital to keep the team's spirits up. It's looking bleak for the Europeans, but a struggling Legacy, who have an average of just 3 round wins on the T-side, can be the bounceback they need.

Backs against the wall, can they do it?

nawwk is nowhere to be seen
-
STYKO and CacaNito need to step up
-
jkaem has been solid
