It seems like the competitive Apex Legends scene is experiencing significant changes, particularly with FURIA announcing the release of its roster, consisting of Albralelie, Pandxrz, and Xera.
This decision mirrors a similar move by Luminosity Gaming, indicating a trend among organizations to revamp their rosters ahead of the new ALGS Pro League season.
FURIA’s decision is especially noteworthy because it marks the departure of all members involved in their successful run to the second place at the year two ALGS Championship. The released players, known for their aggressive playstyle, are now free agents and are expected to be sought after by other organizations. Albralelie, in particular, is a well-known figure in the scene, having played for prominent teams like TSM, Team Liquid, Cloud9, and FaZe.
FURIA’s head coach, Jxmo, cited a lack of cohesion among the players as the main reason for the team’s release. Despite the talent and teamwork of the individual players, sometimes a roster doesn’t work out as planned.
Looking forward, FURIA has a range of options for assembling a new team. Speculations include signing the new team of Sweet, a former NRG player, and other high-profile free agents. The ALGS off-season is shaping up to be eventful, with teams making strategic moves to strengthen their rosters for the upcoming competitions.
