‘That’s going to change everything’: NICKMERCS thinks ALGS will look far different this year

It’s natural in a game like Apex Legends that a new character can fundamentally change the way the game is played at its highest levels. Wattson’s introduction created a pro scene heavily reliant on fast rotations and holding down places in the final circles. Valkyrie introduced a new style of fighting on the edge of zones and movement that previously wasn’t possible.

Catalyst is another legend that seems to have the potential to change up the pro scene, and NICKMERCS sees it coming before pro teams really have a chance to adjust to a new character fully.
