ALGS Championship: Team Changes and Contenders Shake Up Apex Legends' Biggest Event
  • The 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.
