Battlefy’s official record of invited ALGS contributors had some twists and turns nobody was anticipating. “Ex-FaZe” was noticed within the preliminary lineup, however was it a mistake or is one thing else occurring behind the scenes?
Two NA groups particularly caught my eye on the time of updating Dot’s ALGS invite piece with Battlefy information on Oct. 23. These had been the ‘ex-’ entries of NRG and FaZe. Since its replace, FaZe reverted again to the crew everyone knows of, however is it nonetheless with Snip3down, Phonyhead, and Frexs?
After doing a little bit of investigative digging I discovered the Apex Group on the official FaZe Clan web site has been blacked-out, whereas R6, Halo, FIFA, and different groups have their full crew on present. As an already established crew in Apex, Snip3down, Phonyhead, and Frexs would present right here alongside different esports rosters.
Additional investigation confirmed only Frexs and Phonyhead had their images uploaded to the location. Snip3down, Gent, and Deeds are blacked-out and NICKMERCS are nowhere to be seen.
The official Apex Group web page for FaZe Clan means that Phony and Frexs are nonetheless with FaZe. Have I stumbled upon the surprising fact?
FaZe noticed enormous success with their latest Apex roster. With constant professional league placements of fifth in Y3 cut up two playoffs and sixth within the Y3 ALGS championship. However the latest acquisition of FaZe from Complexity may fill the ALGS foyer with three hyperlinks to FaZe Clan—being FaZe, Complexity, and Tripods. Absolutely this isn’t the case?
On an r/CompetitiveApex Reddit thread, a redditor claims that Battlefy “isn’t all the time correct,” however with previous leaks underneath their belt of Fire Beavers moving to Aurora, and the odd modifications on FaZe’s web site, it’s secure to imagine {that a} FaZe roster change is on the horizon. Nothing has been confirmed but and FaZe member Phonyhead has avoided answering any speculation on his roster. “I don’t know, don’t ask me questions,” he mentioned.
Loads of groups on the professional league record included roster and org modifications that individuals are already conscious of, like former Group Stability to Already There and Disguised reverting again to DNO. Battlefy additionally consists of groups which have moved or are staying of their area like Darkish Zero and Moist Esports. So if FaZe’s itemizing is a mistake, how did one thing like this occur?
Even TSM Supervisor minustempo saw the change live and hinted at an unintended leak by Battlefy. With ex-Faze being modified again into FaZe, the query on minustempo’s lips is: “did they reveal that FaZe is breaking apart or did they simply make a mistake?”
Whereas it’s unsure whether or not FaZe may have a large roster change, the chance of Snip3down being dropped is extremely low after having a number of rosters centered round his playstyle in Y3. However the destiny of FaZe is unsure, alongside the rosters for ex-NRG and 100 Thieves.
