In a series of surprising moves in the competitive world of Apex Legends, OpTic Gaming has announced its departure from the scene, while Team Liquid makes a triumphant return, promising to be instant contenders in the ALGS.
OpTic Gaming Bows Out of Apex Legends
After two years in the Apex Legends scene, OpTic Gaming has decided to retire from the game. The decision comes after their team failed to qualify for the ALGS Split 1 Playoffs in Los Angeles, marking the end of an era for the organization in Apex Legends competitive play.
OpTic Gaming’s Legacy in the ALGS
Despite their exit, OpTic Gaming left a notable legacy in the ALGS, including a second-place finish in the ALGS: 2023 Championship and victories in events like the JBL Quantum Cup 2022 and the Code: Red Freedom Season 1 Finals. Their departure comes as a surprise to many, especially given their commitment as a partner of the ALGS year 4.
