It has been over a month since EnVyUs took home the first APEX trophy last December. On January 17th (local time), APEX Season 2 commenced at the Sangam OGN eStadium, bringing together a total of 16 teams: twelve Korean teams and four international invitees, including last season’s winner, EnVyUs.
From the very first match between EnVyUs and MVP Infinity and following through to the next one between Misfits and LW Blue, the stadium was full of cheers from the fans. As an added bonus, various events for attendees were held. Inven was down at the event to capture the heated battles.
