Crazy Raccoon withdraws from ALGS Championship due to team captain’s military service

Crazy Raccoon has been one of APAC-N’s most unfortunate teams in the 2023 Apex Legends Competitive Series, bombing out early at both international events in the past year and disappointing longtime fans of the organization. Despite qualifying for the Championship through the LCQ, another misfortune has struck the organization which has decisively ended the team’s competitive year.

In an Aug. 19 statement on their official website, Crazy Raccoon confirmed their decision to withdraw from the ALGS Championship, despite attending both Split Playoffs and qualifying for the Championship via the APAC-N Last Chance Qualifier. Song “Ras” Hong-gyun, IGL for the team since 2020, has been called up for mandatory military service and after discussions with his teammates, coaches, and management, the organization collectively decided to drop out of the ALGS Championship.
