ImperialHal refuses to play in Apex Legends Twitch Rivals again until rules change YouTube: TSM Apex \/ TwitchThe CEO of Apex Legends, Phillip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen, has had enough with Twitch Rivals. With the latest rendition of the tournament done, Hal is refusing to play in any more unless Twitch consider rule changes to make the event more balanced. Twitch Rivals hosts an Apex Legends showdown every few months, inviting top content creators and pros along for a bit of fun \u2014 although there\u2019s also some serious cash on the line. ImperialHal has become a master of these tournaments, usually dominating the lobbies with his various squads. However, he failed to do that during the fourth Showdown on July 26, falling to ninth with HusKerrs and Xednim. The CEO of Apex Legends is fed up with the events which have morphed over time, stating on Twitter he will \u201cnot [be] playing in Twitch Rivals until rules are changed.\u201d Don\u2019t let the salt get in the way of the argument though. While Hal used to dominate the early Twitch Rivals events, he hasn\u2019t found too much success recently as rules change towards making the lobbies less top-heavy. Teams have ranked restrictions now, as well as a set number of pros to not make things unbalanced. This still leads to some super teams like Eric \u2018Snip3down\u2019 Wrona joining forces with former TSM teammate Jordan \u2018Reps\u2019 Wolfe during the latest event. But there\u2019s still a huge difference between squads who are from a more general Twitch background and those invested in the Apex scene. Hal wants the restrictions to be loosened or lifted entirely. \u201cSh*t is a complete waste of time when it isn\u2019t fair teams,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019ve been on both ends and it\u2019s not fun trust. \u201cNo rules is the best way to go about it \u2014 it\u2019s just important which captains are picked because most likely it will be all pro teams. The biggest issue with no rules is the same players playing nonstop since people will be picking pros to win the entire time.\u201d He isn\u2019t oblivious to the flaws in his suggestions, but Hal wants the event to be as competitive and fun as possible \u2014 and the current balance just isn\u2019t hitting the mark in his eyes. Twitch are aware of the frustrations too. Co-manger of Twitch Rivals \u2018CloudFuel\u2019 mentioned on Twitter \u201cmaybe the solution is to go back to no restrictions. \u201cWe\u2019ve done that for Warzone, Fortnite, and other BRs and it worked for them.\u201d Whether the platform will act on these suggestions remains to be seen, but losing Hal from Twitch Rivals will be big for the event\u2019s viewership. The TSM star\u2019s stream for the recent event peaked at more than 29,000 viewers, compared to just 23,000 on the main broadcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
