Though they won an ALGS title less than a week ago, it appears the team of Phony, Xynew, and Koyful may be a thing of the past after their org, Spacestation Gaming, announced it’s parting ways with the squad today.
The announcement came to the shock of many in the Apex Legends community after seeing SSG lift the trophy on Sept. 1 in Mannheim, Germany following a thrilling 10-match final. But according to Unit, the CEO of SSG, this move was determined before the Split Two Playoffs even began. According to Unit’s post, the team was “going through internal issues” during the Esports World Cup and had talked about either making changes or disbanding altogether. With rosters already locked for the Split Two Playoffs, however, the team decided to play. But instead of extending their contracts with SSG, they opted to look for other options, which the org is now allowing them to do.
