100 Thieves\u2019 NiceWigg issues apology after ALGS Pro League drama Twitter: NiceWigg \/ EAAfter finding himself in the center of a heated dispute about ALGS Pro League eligibility, Apex Legends streamer and 100 Thieves creator NiceWigg issued an apology for his part in the virtual scuffle. The ALGS (Apex Legends Global Series), Apex Legends\u2019 professional circuit, returned for its second year of competition with a new name, format, and various other changes to their 2021 rulebook. Plenty of new teams have stepped up to compete in the Pro League during its second year, like content creators Jack \u2018NiceWigg\u2019 Martin, Anthony \u2018Apryze\u2019 Andrade, and Timmy \u2018iiTzTimmy\u2019 An, who joined forces to compete. While the trio got off to a hot start, they later decided to put a pause on their ALGS competition. Then, after battling to reclaim their spot in the Pro League, NiceWigg found himself in the center of a heated debate around the team\u2019s eligibility for which he later apologized. On December 4, NiceWigg found himself in the center of a debate around his team\u2019s eligibility to return and compete in the ALGS after their absence. Martin originally claimed that his team had been suspended, but Chris Pipher, Senior Manager of ALGS Operations at EA, reached out to clarify the situation: \u201cYou weren\u2019t suspended. Your team was disbanded, just like every other team that has skipped a match in the Pro League.\u201d You weren’t suspended. Your team was disbanded, just like every other team that has skipped a match in the Pro League. After your team was removed, you and your teammates were still eligible to join other teams until the rosters locked for the Split on Dec 1st. \u2014 Chris Pipher (@chris_pipher) December 4, 2021 After Pipher\u2019s clarification, NiceWigg shared apologies on both Twitter and the Competitive Apex Legends subreddit. \u201cI should have looked up the rules and knew more about them,\u201d he shared in his Reddit post. \u201cI will take the blame for false claims in my tweets. I felt the rules were unfair and wanted to shed light on that, but I was wrong.\u201d Martin also explained how difficult the decision to step back from the ALGS Pro League has been for him: \u201cIt really killed me to miss the ALGS, but family comes first.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s all love on my end and I just want to move forward,\u201d his statement ended. \u201cI will continue to take accountability when I f**k up.\u201d I love the Apex community and the game as a whole. I always want what\u2019s best for players, streamers, and pros. I vented to the wrong people today and in the wrong way. I totally get the negative feedback. I\u2019ll work to be better daily. Sorry if I disappointed anyone love you. \u2014 100T NiceWigg (@NiceWigg) December 5, 2021 NiceWigg\u2019s apologies received plenty of support from the community. \u201cI have a ton of respect for someone who can realize they were in the wrong, own up to it, and move forward,\u201d one player on the comp subreddit replied. On Twitter, fellow content creator Jordan Fisher (who frequently partners up with NiceWigg to play Apex), shared his support as well. Martin, who joined esports org 100 Thieves earlier this year as their first dedicated Apex Legends creator, seems to still have a strong desire to continue competing in the ALGS Pro League \u2014 and fans shouldn\u2019t be surprised to see him return in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
