HisWattson retires from competitive Apex Legends after FURIA ALGS exit

The 2022 Apex Legends Global Series Championship MVP and possibly one of the most influential players in all of Apex is hanging up the mouse and keyboard. Following FURIA’s exit from the 2023 ALGS Split Two playoffs, Jacob “HisWattson” McMillin announced his competitive retirement today.

HisWattson will of course be remembered for FURIA’s whirlwind run through the North American Last Chance Qualifier and on into the 2022 ALGS Championship. The team made waves when they unexpectedly shifted HisWattson into the IGL role in favor of long-time shot caller Will “TeQ” Starck, and he almost single-handedly revealed to the world just how powerful Seer could be in the right hands and in the correct meta. FURIA ran over the competition with a second-place finish overall, while HisWattson took home the MVP award thanks to his performance on Seer.
