Becoming a member of is Christopher “Sweetdreams” Sexton, Nicholas “Fuhhnq” Wall and Slayr. Nathan “Nafen” Nguyen shall be a substitute on the roster. Sven, who was an analyst on the previous NRG roster, can also be making the transfer over to Luminosity.

Luminosity are choosing up a mix of the outdated NRG roster, and the Stallions roster. Retzi was changed by Sweetdreams. Slayr and Fuhhnq discovered the chance to play with Candy, backed by an organisation, too good to refuse.

Sweetdreams is undoubtedly probably the most well-known participant of this new roster. He’s the equal of a family identify in Apex esports, having competed on the high degree for the reason that sport launched. Candy began his profession with Rogue, earlier than later shifting to NRG.

The 24 year-old is finest recognized for his phenomenal in sport management skills. Candy has a novel fashion of management in sport. Crucially, he has a really accessible method of breaking issues down for teammates. This has helped him discover success in occasions like Twitch Rivals, the place gamers compete away from their normal teammates. This could assist ease the transition interval for this new Luminosity Apex roster.

Candy’s finest profession outcomes:

With a document as robust as that, stress all the time follows Sweetdreams. This new Luminosity Apex roster shall be anticipated to hit the bottom operating and qualify for all three LAN occasions in ALGS Yr 4.

Fuhhnq won’t be recognized to wherever close to as many ALGS followers as Sweetdreams. The controller participant began competing in 2022, however solely correctly joined the aggressive scene on the again finish of that 12 months. He received an ALGS Challenger Circuit at his second try with group ‘Dangerous Boys’ in December 2022.

Teaming up with Teq and Xynew, he certified for the second break up of the ALGS Professional League in 2023. He averaged 1.27 kills per sport throughout that second break up, competing with group Meat Lovers.

Fuhhnq has lengthy been thought of a controller participant with untapped potential, and this can be a huge alternative for him to indicate ALGS what he can do. This would be the first time in his profession he has competed below the banner of an organisation.

Slayr, one other controller participant, can also be comparatively new to competitors. Like Fuhhnq, Slayr additionally began competing in 2022 and has solely performed one prior Professional League break up. He discovered much less success, averaging 0.46 kills per sport.

Slayr has been across the Apex Legends scene lengthy earlier than he began competing. Though he has solely streamed intermittently.

Maybe much more than Fuhhnq, this can be a big alternative for Slayr. This shall be by far probably the most gifted and steady group he has ever performed on in his aggressive profession. Having the ability to showcase his skills below the steering of Candy, alongside considered one of his good pals in Fuhhnq all whereas being backed by an organisation.

Like for Fuhhnq, there must be an adjustment. Enjoying on a group like this brings stress and expectation. An absence of aggressive expertise is likely to be thought of a hinderance, however the alternative for 2 controller fraggers to study from one of many video games finest in sport leaders would possibly imply a fairly clean slate is definitely an asset.

Nafen would be the most gifted substitute with any roster throughout the primary break up of the ALGS Professional League. It is unclear the place Nafen’s future in ALGS lies in the mean time, however it doesn’t matter what, he has had a incredible profession thus far.

Nafen and Candy are one of the crucial iconic duo’s in ALGS historical past, delivering nice outcomes with each Rocker and Gild. Signed to NRG for over three years, the 22 year-old has earned over $200k from aggressive Apex Legends and sits amongst the video games high earners.

This roster appears to be a tough one to totally observe. Neither Fuhhnq or Slayr have ever made a LAN, they usually each have just one Professional League break up below their belts. There’s clearly potential between the controller duo, however potential is all the time theoretical till outcomes are literally earned.

But, who higher to unlock a gamers potential than Candy? There was a constant pattern in Apex Legends of controller gamers linking up with skilled IGL’s and really rapidly adapting to the highest degree of ALGS. Take Koyful, or Xynew as current examples.

This group does really feel like a danger for Candy. He has by no means competed with gamers who’ve such little prior aggressive expertise. Rocker and Nafen have been a longtime duo when he signed for NRG. Gild had already discovered LAN success with Group Liquid when he joined the NRG group too.

Nevertheless, if he can mould these two gamers into precisely what he’s in search of this could possibly be a real drive to be reckoned with. The group is already displaying spectacular work ethic, and having one thing to show might drive all three gamers onto a brand new degree within the upcoming ALGS Professional League.

Maybe a giant issue into how profitable the brand new Luminosity Gaming roster shall be rests on Lava Fissure. Previous to this announcement, this roster has already begun contesting group SKRT for Lava Fissure.

This has been a giant shake up for Candy, who had all the time primarily based his groups from Staging on Worlds Edge. Candy had expressed a want to alter drop spots, and Lava Fissure is a wonderful drop for groups that wish to quick rotate, as Candy usually does on Worlds Edge.

The Soar Tower within the POI makes for robust rotations. You possibly can chain up a number of towers to rapidly entry Thermal Station zones, that are tough to get into.

If the brand new Luminosity Apex roster can lock down Lava Fissure, that may set them in nice stead for his or her Worlds Edge video games.

Candy has additionally determined to go away Checkpoint for the brand new Zeus Station. That POI lately bought a buff within the newest Apex Legends patch, with the massive Soar Tower sooner to climb. It will permit for a powerful flex playstyle on Storm Level. Candy discovered numerous success with this fashion at NRG.

Luminosity will hope to get off to a powerful begin on January 21, when the ALGS Professional League begins.
