The esports scene surrounding Respawn’s battle royale juggernaut Apex Legends has been​ undergoing a ‍series of roster shuffles ‍recently,⁢ and NRG esports has been no exception. After much speculation concerning the future⁤ of the team’s high profile roster, Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) veteran Sweet has left the NRG family — a move⁣ that has left the organization’s​ Apex Legends lineup in disarray.

It‍ was initially believed that the NRG roster would stay fixed despite⁤ the ever-changing Apex Legends utilized scene, however Sweet’s ​departure has caused the team to rethink their plans and focus ‌heavily on performance. Sweet’s ⁤decision to focus⁤ more on streaming and broadcast an announcement was first met on with skepticism from both ‍the competitive and​ viewer circles, however he has since spoken up further on the move.

As Sweet himself⁢ puts it, “My ⁣decision to leave NRG Esports came down to not wanting‌ to dedicate the time to competing ‌that was expected​ of me. Apex Legends⁤ is a game that requires ⁤a⁤ lot of grinding to stay competitive and I just can’t ‍commit ⁤the hours that are needed to maintain​ the level of success we⁢ had ⁤achieved in the past. It was hard to let go⁣ of the dream of becoming champions of the ALGS, ⁢but⁣ I ⁣felt‌ it⁣ was necessary to⁤ follow my passion while⁤ I still have⁢ time.

He further elaborated on his decision by adding, “NRG will remain a family to me,‌ and no matter what happens in the future I’m happy to have my name attached to such a great org. I’d like to thank‌ NRG for the opportunity to compete at the ALGS, ​and I wish them all the best for the future‌ of Apex Legends”.

Sweet’s departure leaves NRG’s Apex​ Legends‌ roster in disarray, with veterans Baas and MoNsTcR becoming the most notable names on the remaining⁢ lineup.⁣ It is unclear what⁣ the organization’s next ⁣move will be, lacking any confirmation on possible replacements as‍ of the moment.

As for ‌the ALGS, Sweet’s​ departure will ‌not have a visible impact on the​ competition, with ‍the 2020 season ⁢already over. The world championship ended in​ April with a giant win for underdog team Solary, who managed to take down the champion title as well as ‍the grand prize.

As for the competitive Apex Legends scene, fans ​and esports ‌enthusiasts alike can only​ wait and see how the future of the​ play proceeds. ​The ⁤uncertainty surrounding NRG’s roster may remain until⁣ the imminent return of ALGS, however there ​is no denying the impact⁣ that Sweet’s ‌departure had on the org, and his affection towards⁢ the ‍team.
