As per Battlefy, Team Liquid are signing Legacy ahead of the ALGS Split 1 Playoffs. This marks yet another organisation returning to Apex Legends.
Undoubtedly one of the most deserved signings of all time. So glad this roster has a home.

BREAKING NEWS:
Latest ALGS rules, uploaded today, have removed the rule restricting teams from signing more than one roster.
This seems to re-allow organisations to have more than one signed team in the ALGS.

- The Skybox is literally the prettiest thing I have ever seen
