Content creator-focused esports organisation Horizon Union, who were formed in the UK, have announced they are stepping away from Apex Legends esports.

The org first moved into esports at the start of 2022 when Horizon Union acquired an Apex Legends roster and began competing in the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS).

Earlier this year, they finished 11th in the EMEA ALGS Split 2 Pro League, just one place outside of a Split 2 Playoffs spot. This London-based ALGS Split 2 Playoffs LAN was eventually won by DarkZero.

Horizon instead went through to the Last Chance Qualifier, where they also finished 11th.

A few months later, and they have now announced their departure from the esport, having made the announcement on X (aka Twitter) today.

Horizon Union said in the above statement: “We’ve made the difficult decision to leave Apex Legends.

“It’s been an incredible experience for us, as a brand and team, to have had the opportunity to compete in the ALGS.

The org also said they’re supporting former players Faenex (Netherlands), JSavageW (France), Urban (UK) and coach Bowzey (UK).

Last month, TSM won the ALGS Championship in Birmingham.

Horizon, owned by UK-headquartered Kairos Media, still have FIFA/EA FC player Shawrey.

A few months ago, Horizon Union launched a Beyond Programme to better support content creators, boost their careers and prevent burnout.
