NICKMERCS has ‘new interests’ outside of ALGS, spelling the end of Tripods

NICKMERCS’ professional Apex Legends journey appears to be ending for now, as the Tripods’ original ALGS team officially disbanded today.

In 2022, NICKERMCS claimed the future was “not looking bright” for Call of Duty, and specifically Warzone, so the leader of the MFAM army put all of his eggs in the Apex basket instead. He dedicated time and energy to his newfound passion, culminating with an invitation to the ALGS. Ahead of last ALGS season’s second split, which started in March 2023, FaZe officially signed NICKMERCS’s team and flanked the streamer alongside two talented players, former G2 member Rigo “Gent” Padilla and young prospect Deeds on the Tripods. But a disappointing 22nd-place finish and failure to qualify for the 2024 season jeopardized the trio’s future, and NICKMERCS’ return to Warzone seemingly put a final nail in the coffin.
