ALGS pro quits Apex Legends after abusive messages go public Respawn EntertainmentSixteen-year-old Apex Legends pro Jaeden \u2018Caprah\u2019 Valle has stepped back from competitive play after abusive messages he wrote about fellow pro Nicholas \u2018sSikezz\u2018 Odom were leaked. Talented young Apex Legends pro Caprah will no longer be attending the ALGS Playoffs in London or competing in Split 2 after a string of abusive messages he sent was made public. The screenshot of a conversation over Discord shared on January 5 shows Caprah making a number of derogatory and offensive comments toward XSET player Sikezz. This Twitter post sparked responses from some of the biggest pros in the Apex scene including Reps, ImperialHal, Monsoon, and Apryze. Mac \u2018Albralelie\u2019 Beckwith said he\u2019s never heard \u201canything good about this kid outside of his mechanics\u201d and that it\u2019s such a \u201cwaste of his skill\u201d. I literally never hear anything good about this kid outside of his mechanics. Such a shame and waste of his skill. \u2014 Albralelie (@TSM_Albralelie) January 5, 2023 Following this, Caprah\u2019s Esports Arena teammate Nathan \u2018Lewda\u2019 Dias took to Twitter to reveal this wasn\u2019t the first time they\u2019ve had to deal with the 16-year-old\u2019s toxicity as a team. According to them, they tried to \u201csolve this quietly like 6x\u201d but ultimately they felt that Caprah needed to learn that \u201cactions have consequences\u201d. While they were cautious about leaking the DMs and didn\u2019t want to want to \u201cruin a kid\u2019s life\u201d, they thought that the lesson it would teach him would be positive in the long run. Caprah apologizes for comments On January 6, Caprah made a Twitter post apologizing for his actions and revealed that he will \u201cno longer be attending the upcoming London event\u201d and likely \u201cwon\u2019t play competitive apex ever again\u201d. Speaking on his actions over the past year, the young pro said \u201csorry to everyone who believed in me\u201d and made it clear that he will \u201cown up to the mistakes\u201d. TSM pro player Philip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen did take the time to remind Caprah that his career isn\u2019t over and that he\u2019s \u201cwelcome to playing with me whenever on stream because I do believe you\u2019ll change\u201d. He made it clear to the 16-year-old that \u201cif you continue to stream and prove your improvement as a person, people will have no choice but to give you a chance again\u201d. For now, Caprah has made it clear that he will be stepping away from competitive Apex Legends permanently. It\u2019s unclear whether or not he will continue to stream Respawn\u2019s battle royale on Twitch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
