Apex Legends pros are traded out like Pokémon cards in the ALGS offseason. Not only is it difficult to keep track of the movement of your favorite players, but it’s even harder to switch teams when the entire roster gets dropped.
The ALGS comes by year after year, and the only thing that seems to be consistent throughout is TSM’s roster and the caster staff. For every Pro League, the inevitable offseason comes around, and with it, the uncertainty of where your favorite players will end up. The leadup to the ALGS year four has seen a ton of changes, including South America’s removal as a regional Pro League participant.
Organizations that left ALGS in 2023/24
The following teams departed the ALGS at the end of the 2023 season and the beginning of the 2024 season:
- iG International
