Good, NRG leaves Apex for good and openly said its all EA's fault

Yeah, good point on the pros, frankly, oversized egos has led to some absolutely trash input in regards to Apex, as well as other games.

Like NO GOLD SHIELD REZ.

Please, pros.  You are drunk, go home.  Also wrong.  Also, grow up and stop blaming gold shields for your loss, because you were bad (and you can't admit it)

Anyway, the whole esports thing, frankly EA is STILL to blame.  They are pretty bad at both the way their game is (it is technically EA/Respawn who made the game, the pros did not), and it also sounds like they're bad at promoting it for the purpose of making money.  Pros don't leave successful enterprises, even if the pros are playing badly.  You can look at any real sport to see that.  Now, management may change, ownership may change, players may change.  But esports in general, and Apex for sure, can't keep an org around because it is the game company's business model that is so bad (which also includes their game being bad).

I'm not shedding any tears, like I see some people here aren't either.  Part of esports popularity is drama, and creating drama, and liking certain people while hating others.  That's literally part of business and interest.  But I do find the knuckleheadedness of EA more entertaining at this point, and on that note, grabbing popcorn and hearing these things play out is certainly entertaining in its own right. Its better drama than I often get out of the game itself these days.
