Season 8 launch trailer HYPE - goes live right now!

We are going to get a new launch trailer VERY SOON! Place your bets now, what is going to happen? I am expecting: Fuse is going to have an argument with one of the legends. I'm going for...

@DYSPROssiumhere's my 5 point set.

1) The Salvonian ship, which supposedly brings Fuse to the games, will start bombing the hell out of Kings Canyon, as Salvo freedom fighters led by "Mad Mags" have taken control of it and want to sabotage the treaty.

2) The big cannons at artillery will take the Salvonian ship down, which will probably crash somewhere in/near Water treatment area.

3) Fuse will die in the crash, probably in Mags' arms. Before his last breath, he'll say something emotional, like all he ever wanted was to be worthy of her, by becoming a champion in the Apex Games.

4) Mags will probably be the only survivor, but the Syndicate will let her live, with the condition to take Fuse's place in the games. This way, she gets to honor her lost life partner last wish and the Syndicate gets to keep the rebels in control.

5) The crashed ship will destroy Mirage Voyage, so Eliott will hate the new legend.

@DYSPROssiumThanks, I really hope there's another twist like that coming. There are a lot of things that point in this direction.
Check this image:
Cannons pointing downwards, but there's also a small silhouette at the top that looks a bit thin and seems to have something on the left leg (Mags' knives maybe).
Also:
Mags has a more elaborate outfit in the story trailer, Fuse's looks kind of bland;
Trailers are known to show previews of abilities and it's mostly Mags doing things with the potential of becoming skills: spitting fire(tactical), Salvo grenade (ult), maybe Molotov cocktails( tactical/ ult) (suggested by the bottles).
Fuse is pretty simplistic and careless, Mags seems to have more principles, depth.
Season 8 image shows Fuse launching a bomb from a cannon held by his robotic arm, which is pretty big and doesn't make much sense. Bomb looks more like an air to ground one and we already have 2 legends that do bombardments.
Mags is the one that picked the grenade, it has more meaning for her (she speaks of the freedom fighters and the respect they deserve).
Horizon has a punk skin, which seems unfit to me, I get the feeling of devs testing the waters while creating skins for Mags.
Throwback to Forge kind of suggests there's a big twist like that coming.

    I didn't mind either video. I think I'll like his quips better than Rampart's. Can't wait to check him out in game but already predicting he'll either be broken or people will complain he's OP on release. I'm guessing they'll classify him as an attack character like Horizon. Anyone notice we've gotten 3 similar accented characters in a row?
