Faze Clan have been impressing in Apex Legends esports after signing a core UK roster, with a win in the recent EMEA ALGS Regional Finals.
The esports organisation signed the ‘Made in Heaven’ roster last month, consisting of UK players Naghz (pictured centre) and arctic (left), as well as Finnish captain Sinetic (right), and US coach lumdum.
The roster made a quick impact, winning the regional Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) 2024: Split 2 Pro League EMEA Final.
They then finished runners up in the EMEA Split 2 Pro League, behind Alliance.
UK players arctic and Naghz tweeted the following, with the latter saying: “Love my teammates and can’t wait to improve even more.”
Naghz has previously played for UK esports organisation Jlingz Esports, while arctic finished runner-up in the Apex Legends ESL Premiership in 2022.
They started ALGS Year 4 fresh out of the Challenger Circuit, as pointed out by caster DiA.
However, Naghz started the year on a different roster and joined Faze for Split 2. He left o7, a team that has since been signed by NiP, but failed to qualify for the Split 2 Playoffs. A player called Taxington helped them get to the Pro League and played for them in the Split 1 playoffs when they were known as ‘Made in Heaven’.
Faze Clan will also compete at the upcoming Apex Legends Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia from July 31st to August 4th 2024.
The team have also qualified for the ALGS Year 4 Split 2 Playoffs.
This will take place in Mannheim, Germany, from August 29th to September 1st 2024. It will feature the best 40 Apex Legends esports teams from around the world, competing through the group stage, bracket stage and match point finals.
The news comes one year after the ALGS Year 3 Split 2 Playoffs took place in London at the Copper Box Arena.
