NICKMERCS Returns to Pro Apex Legends with New ALGS Squad
The Breakup of Tripods
Back in February 2024, NICKMERCS’ team, Tripods, consisting of Deeds and Gent, decided to disband after failing to qualify for the first two NA splits in the ALGS 2024 season. This decision came as NICKMERCS expressed his dwindling passion for the game. The team had faced numerous challenges and, despite their efforts, couldn’t secure a spot in the prominent stages of the competition.
Inspiration from the 2024 ALGS Season
As the 2024 ALGS season concluded its Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ), NICKMERCS found himself reinvigorated by the competitive spirit and high stakes of the tournament. Watching the LCQ unfold reignited his enthusiasm for professional play, leading to his announcement on September 16th about forming a new team for the upcoming 2025 season.
New Teammates: DeToX and Avexys
NICKMERCS has teamed up with Anthony “DeToX” George and Jvonn “Avexys” Williams, who previously competed together under a free-agent team, FURY, in the NA LCQ. The chemistry between NICKMERCS and his new teammates is promising, as they have frequently encountered each other in competitive lobbies. Both players have demonstrated their skills and competitiveness, making them ideal partners for NICKMERCS’ return.
Awaiting a Team Name
Currently, the newly formed squad does not have an official team name. NICKMERCS mentioned that a formal announcement would be made soon, which will likely include their chosen name and more details about their plans for the season.
Looking Forward to Tier 2 Events and NA Pro League
With the ALGS season wrapped up for teams not qualifying for the championship, NICKMERCS and his squad will participate in Tier 2 events. Their goal is to secure a spot in the NA Pro League for the next season. This move is strategic, allowing the team to build synergy and prepare for higher-level competitions.
Reflecting on the Journey
NICKMERCS shared his thoughts on his new teammates, recalling their past encounters and expressing excitement about finally playing together. He highlighted their skills and the mutual respect developed over time, which bodes well for their future performance.
Conclusion
NICKMERCS’ return to professional Apex Legends marks a new chapter in his competitive career. With DeToX and Avexys by his side, the team aims to make significant strides in the upcoming ALGS season. Fans and followers eagerly await their performance and the official announcement of their team name. This comeback story is a testament to NICKMERCS’ enduring passion for the game and his commitment to competing at the highest level.
