ImperialHal explains why NICKMERCS is \u201cweak link\u201d of his Apex Legends team Twitch: ImperialHal\/NICKMERCSApex Legends star Philip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen has explained why he believes Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff is the \u201cweak link\u201d of his Tripods squad in competitive play. With the top level of Apex Legends ranked play being set up the way it is, it\u2019s not difficult for some ambitious players to transition from being a ranked grinder to having a shot at the ALGS. In the case of NICKMERCS, the former Gears of War pro made the switch from Warzone to Apex Legends and hasn\u2019t looked back, with his Tripods squad working their way through challenging qualifiers to reach the ALGS proper in the backend of 2022. Given that he\u2019s a streamer and comes from other games, Nick has found himself on the end of criticism and constructive feedback more than his teammates, especially with regard to his mechanics and game sense. ImperialHal praises NICKMERCS \u201cpotential\u201d despite being ALGS \u201cweak link\u201d It was something ImperialHal noted as he appeared on ClaraAtWork\u2019s ALGS watch party as discussed Nick\u2019s potential moving forward. The TSM star was pushed to name the \u201cweakest link\u201d of Nick\u2019s Tripods team. \u201cNick! It\u2019s so obvious,\u201d he said, pointing to Nick\u2019s mechanics. \u201cRight now, the meta is considered that you have to have mechanical skill and Nick doesn\u2019t have that.\u201d \u201cThe meta does not fit him. He has potential, he has so much room to grow, he just doesn\u2019t fit in the meta right now as a player,\u201d Hal added. \u201cHe\u2019s so far behind all the other players that have been playing for a while. If the meta was more like Caustic and Gibby, it wouldn\u2019t really matter that Nick\u2019s mechanical skills are bad.\u201d Timestamp of 0:38 Nick currently plays the Seer role for his squad, but as Hal notes, he doesn\u2019t quite have the mind of an in-game leader to play the character to its full potential. As the meta shifts with character changes, a meta might pop up that totally suits Nick. Though, it\u2019s hard to bet against him having success in some way or another given how far he\u2019s gotten to this point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
