Apex Legends Control teams can have up to three of the same legend

Respawn Entertainment is living up to its name when it comes to Apex Legends' next limited-time mode; the 9v9, unlimited respawn Control mode. We learned a load of new details about it earlier this week thanks to a media event - including that Lifeline's ultimate has been tweaked for the mode and that players will have infinite ammo - but we were still left a tad perplexed when it comes to team composition.

In Control, the nine-legend squads are essentially made up of three traditional Apex trios - and yes, that means you can't nine-stack. In the mode, players can freely swap which legend they play as after death while waiting to be respawned, so you aren't tied down to just one character per match. In trailer footage for Control, we saw a few instances where two of the same legend were competing on the same team, confirming you do not need nine unique legends on a team. However, Respawn hasn't explicitly stated just how many of the same legend each team can have.

Could we in theory see nine Pathfinders versus nine Caustics? Is two the maximum, as we saw in trailers? Or, as many have assumed so far, might we be able to have three of the same legend, with each trio being allowed to have one each?
