Apeks Rebels and BIG Academy will meet in the group stage of WePlay Academy League Season 5. I don’t think that the Norwegians have any chances against the finalists of the last season of the league, since the German team defeated Apeks Rebels twice even then.
In addition, BIG Academy is again considered the favorite of their group, and the team is unlikely to start its journey with an unnecessary defeat. And the fact that there are still experienced players in the squad gives the Germans confidence against the background of young and green guys.
Apeks Rebels form
The 182nd team in the world ranking completely failed at the last WePlay Academy League Season 4, where they got only one victory in the group stage. Moreover, according to the game, the Norwegian team looked too disassembled, from which all the defeats came out.
I don't think that Apeks Rebels has improved their game much in a month, because there were simply no prerequisites last time. And the fact that we have to start the match with the favorite does not inspire optimism for the Norwegians.

BIG Academy Uniform
The 53rd team in the world ranking took second place in the WePlay Academy League Season 4, showing a very decent game. Then the German team went to the playoffs of ESEA Season 41: Advanced Division - Europe, which in itself is a success.
Well, before the break, BIG Academy managed to win the Y-Games PRO Series 2022, once again proving that it is already capable of competing at an adult level. And I do not think that in a month the team has relaxed enough to lose all their ideas.

Prediction for Apeks Rebels vs BIG Academy
What can be added in this case? Too few options for the Norwegian team, which will once again be an outsider of their group. However, the Germans will play to win in every match, and I will be very surprised if they do not leave the group from the first place. Well, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the BIG Academy team with Handicap by rounds (-4.5).
