Ever since his departure from Warzone, NICKMERCS has been busy grinding out ranked games of Apex Legends. While this adjustment has taken a number of games to get used to, Nick and his team have managed to adapt to their new surroundings incredibly well. In fact, the Call of Duty streamer recently achieved the ranking of Apex Master. Of course, this has led to many viewers doubting his skill and stating that he had been carried by his team. In order to fight these claims, Nick jokingly took aim at fellow teammate Jack \u201cCouRage\u201d Dunlop. CouRage is another CoD streamer who has quickly risen up the Apex Legends ranks, but Nick has been quick to call out CouRage\u2019s Predator ranking. NICKMERCS calls out CouRage \u201cTruth be told, I think CouRage is a phenomenal gamer,\u201d said Nick. \u201cI thought he was one of the best early Fortnite pros, I\u2019ve said all that I mean all that. But he did link up with two Apex Predators, former Apex pros to get to Predator.\u201d Since his arrival to the world of Apex Legends, CouRage has played with a number of pro players. While players like NiceWigg and Tannerslays have undoubtedly helped CouRage learn the ropes, Nick believes it\u2019s this advantage that has enabled the streamer to climb so quickly. Timestamp of 0:19 \u201cI love Jack, I really do,\u201d said Nick. \u201cBut I don\u2019t care if I\u2019m on stream in front of 50k or if it\u2019s him and me sipping a f**king tequila, I\u2019m going to tell him that he got carried. We can argue about it all day.\u201d Nick then joked that he could get G2 Dezignful to help get him to Apex Predator. \u201cI\u2019ll be Predator in 10 minutes\u2026Ok, maybe like an hour.\u201d Despite calling CouRage out, Nick had nothing but glowing things to say about his friend. \u201cCouRage is great, he\u2019s better than me at Apex, he\u2019s a great player he\u2019s phenomenal,\u201d said Nick. Quite how long it will take for Nick to reach Predator rank remains to be seen, but the popular streamer remains hopeful that he\u2019ll get there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS hits back at Apex players claiming he gets \u201ccarried\u201d in Ranked NICKMERCSPopular content creator Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff has jokingly called out CouRage on his Apex Legends ranking.
