Apex Legends pro Gnaske claims TSM fans sent \u201cdeath threats\u201d over landing spots Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends Pioneers pro Casper \u2018Gnaske\u2019 Pr\u00e6stensgaard has claimed TSM fans sent \u201cdeath threats\u201d over his team\u2019s choice of landing spot on Storm Point. In the ALGS, Apex Legends pro squads typically pick a POI for each map that they consistently land at for every single match. This allows them to learn the area inside out, giving them the best chance at securing the best loot and picking up the victory. Well, on Storm Point, both TSM and Pioneers opted to choose The Wall as their designated location. However, after consistently falling short against ImperialHal, Reps, and Verhulst, Pioneers had to admit defeat and change spots. Taking to Twitter on January 11, Gnaske officially announced that Pioneers would not be defending their POI against TSM anymore. Describing TSM as \u201c(arguably) the strongest team in the world\u201d, the pro admitted that they are \u201csimply too strong\u201d to takedown at the start of a match. While announcing the news, the Pioneers captain did reveal that the \u201charassment\u201d and \u201cdeath threats\u201d from TSM fans didn\u2019t make the decision any easier. Although they \u201cfigured it would happen\u201d given the size of the organization and its passionate fanbase, it\u2019s clear Gnaske didn\u2019t appreciate the backlash about contesting a landing spot. Despite this, Gnaske has made it known that the hate from TSM fans is not the reason they\u2019re leaving The Wall, and \u201cif anything [he\u2019d] love to continue contesting to make [them] mad.\u201d TSM pro Reps responded to Gnaske\u2019s tweet, saying \u201csorry for any hate received\u201d and that he wishes he \u201ccould guarantee there would never be any hate but we can\u2019t control the mass idiots\u201d. Despite the rivalry between the two squads, Reps revealed that he\u2019s \u201calways respected [them] and none of [them] deserve to get any hate for landing in the same spot you\u2019ve been forever\u201d. Both teams will meet and compete against each other again at the ALGS Year 3 Split 1 playoffs in London on February 2. Now Pioneers have changed their strategy and landing spot, it\u2019ll be interesting to see whether it helps or hinders them in the upcoming event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
