OGN will allow player rotation during a series

Esca mentioned in his stream that in APEX Season 3 OGN will allow rotation of one member during a series.

It's a new rule OGN will implement starting next Friday.

Explains why Kongdoo and Lunatic-Hai both have seven man rosters this season

I really don't like the prospect of where this rule may take OW in the future

I wonder if Envy will get a 7th member to deal with their struggle to adapt to the different metas and their lackluster hero pool.

This could create a whole new meta where teams use certain members only during certain maps and against certain teams.

I think this is gonna be super interesting, I'm all for it. Bring in the one tricks!

Runner has mentioned in a couple of interviews that one of the reasons why RunAway struggled during the Grand Finals was the duration of the event, some players were getting quite tired and some went into the event semi-ill.

This new rule could be used in such situations where a team member is starting to get tired during a long series, and can be switched out for someone that's fresh and has been watching the game from the outside and can bring new perspective.

Not entirely sure on how to feel about it.

The one thing eSports in general lacks is stability, people make life commitments, change countries to get into a roster, just so they get kicked or benched for a bad performance. With teams starting to have more than 6 members, i wonder if players are still gonna get paid the regular amount on their contract even if they don't play officials as often.

Someone that has been in the bench for a while will most likely end up getting cut.
