The 100 Thieves co-owner, who no doubt had a hand in helping his Apex duo NiceWigg join 100T, started grinding the battle royale title after growing increasingly frustrated with Warzone. He quickly rose up the ranks alongside NiceWigg and other highly-ranked Apex players, which led to a massive amount of backlash from long-time players, complaining that he got carried to Apex Predator. CouRage wrote a lengthy response to a Reddit hate thread calling him out, saying that he spent hours learning the ins and outs of the game, even giving some advice on how players can improve.

Will this silence his critics? Maybe, but there\u2019s no doubt some will still downplay his achievement. Either way, at least CouRage has proven himself to be a far better player than many had imagined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CouRage solo grinds to Masters in Apex Legends to prove critics wrong Respawn\/YouTube: CouRageJack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop may be best known for his success in Call of Duty and Fortnite, but in 2021 he\u2019s picked up Apex Legends and gone all-in on it.
