Will Ryujehong's trump card, Ana prevail in the grand finals?

This coming Saturday, Lunatic-Hai is set to clash against RunAway in the APEX Season 2 grand finals at Korea University Hwajeong Stadium. One of the points of interest is whether Ryujehong can continue to keep up his prowess as the most experienced member of Lunatic-Hai.

So far in the season, Ryujehong on Ana pulled off some incredible plays. Watching him shut down an enemy Genji’s Dragonblade with Sleep Dart and his precise execution of Nano Boost was enough to dazzle the crowd. In the semifinals, most fans and critics agreed that his Ana did three players-worth of work.

There’s a good chance that Ryujehong may stick with Ana in the grand finals. Although Biotic Rifle damage was nerfed with the patch on March 21st, finals will use the previous 1.8 version client as they did in the semifinals, which means that Ana’s damage remains untouched.

▲ Ryujehong's Zenyatta definitely made an impression.

That said, he didn’t insist on playing Ana and Ana only. Starting from the semifinals, he swapped to Zenyatta again to shake up the meta. In fact, he was featured on Play of the Game for his outrageous damage output with the omnic monk.

When push came to shove, though, he went back to his comfortable Ana. In the semifinals, Meta Athena caught up two games after completely shutting down Ryujehong’s Zenyatta with Winston. Then he quickly switched to Ana and closely won the series to advance to the finals.

Fans like to refer to him as many things, including some variations of “king” and “god”. To become the player of the season and a true hero, he only has one more hurdle to tackle – the APEX championship title. All eyes are on the APEX grand finals as Ryujehong takes a calculated shot at the trophy. You can catch the finale of premier Overwatch league this weekend on Twitch.
