ALGS Championship: Team Changes and Contenders Shake Up Apex Legends' Biggest Event
January 26, 2025The upcoming ALGS Championship is set to be the largest Apex Legends event to date, marking the conclusion of a highly competitive fourth year of the ALGS.
Team Falcons, despite a disappointing performance in the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs, are known for their high standards and potential to reclaim their dominance.
Caster Mark 'Onset' Hatcher discussed Team Falcons' recent roster change, questioning the decision to replace Genburten with Wxltzy.
Onset expressed optimism regarding Team Falcons' chances in the championship, believing that Wxltzy's addition enhances team balance.
He noted that while Genburten is a skilled player, team chemistry issues necessitated this change for Team Falcons' success.
Onset highlighted Loan Sharks, recently signed by Envy, as a strong contender for the championship, praising their consistent scrim performances and solid roster.
He also acknowledged the coaching influence of Raven, who previously helped TSM achieve LAN victories, as a factor in Loan Sharks' potential success.
Shopify Rebellion, the last team to win an Apex LAN event, underwent significant changes post-victory, with key players leaving and searching for new teams.
Despite these changes, Onset still regards Shopify Rebellion as one of the tournament favorites due to their skilled roster.
In contrast, Luminosity underperformed in Mannheim, failing to make the top 20, which starkly contrasts their talent level.
Onset attributed Luminosity's struggles to a lack of self-belief and internal conflicts rather than deficiencies in their gameplay abilities.
Onset expressed a desire to see Luminosity succeed for the sake of a competitive finals lobby, stressing the need for dedication in their preparation.
