The future of DarkZero\u2019s roster has been the subject of much conjecture in the Apex Legends scene since the team cut a frustrated figure at the ALGS Championship in Birmingham last month. After winning the ALGS Split 2 Finals, DarkZero couldn\u2019t even make it to the Finals and finished in a disappointing 23rd place.
