ImperialHal parts ways with TSM\u2019s Apex Legends team after five-year stint Joe Brady\/ ALGSTSM and Phillip \u2018ImperialHal\u2018 Dosen announced that the veteran has parted ways with the Apex Legends team. TSM posted a 10-minute video with ImperialHal explaining the decision and his journey with the North American esports organization on May 13. The player posted a statement on his social media, saying he is moving \u201cOnto a New Chapter\u201d and will be \u201cteaming\u201d with DarkZero\u2019s Rhys \u2018Zer0\u2019 Perry and Noyan \u2018Genburten\u2019 Ozkose going forward. ImperialHal did not say whether he would be joining DarkZero and the organization has not confirmed if the veteran has been signed as a team member. Apex Legends esports is also in the middle of a major roster shuffling period, so this team could sign under a different organization altogether. In the announcement video, the player says the decision had nothing to do with money, his contract, or TSM management. \u201cIt felt like a change needed,\u201d ImperialHal explained. The announcement comes just a few weeks after TSM\u2019s disappointing performance at the 2024 ALGS Split 1 Playoffs where ImperialHal and the team placed 17th. The team entered the event as favorites, thanks to its fantastic Pro League qualifying performance and dominant 2023 run. The 2023 ALGS Championship winner joined TSM at the start of his career in Apex Legends in 2019 and has built up the organization\u2019s presence in the competitive title. With TSM, ImperialHal brought home four major tournament wins: the ALGS 2023 Championship, the ALGS 2023 Split 1 Playoffs, the Apex Legends Preseason Invitational, and the EXP Invitational. \u201cI want to thank TSM and everyone that has played alongside me for believing in me, I will remember these last 5 years forever,\u201d he wrote on social media. Fans of ImperialHal will get to see the player compete without the TSM logo on his jersey in Split 2 of the North American ALGS Pro League, which starts on June 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
