How the NRG pro rose to success with Apex Legends NRG \/ Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends brought with it a revitalized formula to battle royales which has made millions of players fall in love with it since it\u2019s February 4 release. One of those players has risen in popularity almost as fast as the game itself. NRG\u2019s Coby \u2018dizzy\u2019 Meadows has been one of the brightest stars to emerge from the popularity of the newest battle royale, but not many people know much about the young talent. Dizzy\u2019s introduction to the pro scene didn\u2019t start with Apex. He had previously been a part of Mythic and Selfless Gaming\u2019s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive squads before landing with his current org, NRG. Though his stint on the CS:GO pro circuit was short, it didn\u2019t matter since full-time streaming was his dream. Until Respawn Entertainment unexpectedly dropped Apex Legends. \u201c\u2026Full-time streaming was my dream, and not only that, I want to be a competitive player and compete in Apex Legends,\u201d dizzy said in an interview with Forbes. \u201cThis is only the beginning for me.\u201d Like many other players, dizzy fell in love with Apex Legends upon release. Unlike many other players, he had committed an insane amount of time to the brand new title immediately after it launched. \u201c\u2026When Apex Legends came out I fell in love with it.\u201d dizzy said. \u201cI put 100% into it the first day the game came out. I streamed it for 21 hours, I had so much fun enjoying a fresh battle royale.\u201d Though he had an early affinity for Respawn\u2019s game, it wasn\u2019t until the first Twitch Rivals series for the battle royale where his talent was put to the grindstone. Some would expect a no-name talent to fade away into obscurity with a squad consisting with the likes of Ninja and KingRichard. But not very many expected the young gun to hard-carry during many instances in the game\u2019s first sponsored tournament. Even after securing the first two tournament wins in Apex Legends, dizzy hasn\u2019t stopped pushing himself forward in the battle royale. He currently has over 12,600 kills on his main Wraith, while touting about 2-and-a-half million points of damage done. Though mystery still shrouds the rising talent, audiences are sure to familiarize themselves as he racks up tournament wins in his favorite battle royale.
