The reveal was met with some confusion from fans as only three players are needed in a competitive Apex Legends team and some of the players have content creator and pro player in theirTwitter bios.
TSM’s Vice President of Esports Operations, Dominic Kallas, clarified the hybrid setup to Apex Legends reporterCutnoid, saying the new players will play together in creator events but can compete separately if they wish.
“Similar to how Nick ‘NICKMERCS’ Kolcheff is signed to FaZe but plays with Tripods in ALGS,” Kallas said. “Lots of flexibility for everyone, and we will be highlighting each individual’s path.”
Kallas also said that for Celestial Cups, Janey, Sabz and Avuh will likely play together. But, for Apex Legends Global Series qualifiers Sabz will compete in Europe and Avuh and Gurl will have to look to build their own North American roster.
