Apex Legends esports scene emotional as veteran Reps leaves TSM

TSM announced that one of its longest-running Apex Legends players, Jordan ‘Reps‘ Wolfe, will be parting ways with the esports organisation.

Reps, a TSM staple since Apex Legends’ early days, is departing just shy of his sixth anniversary with the team.

The announcement was made on X by the organisation, which included a short montage of Reps best moments in his Apex journey.

It said: “The rock, the pillar, the OG. It’s bittersweet to part ways with one of the greatest players of all time. From X Games to Champs, you won it all with the black-and-white. We can’t thank you enough for making history with us time and time again.”

Reps is the last of TSM’s iconic ALGS team to leave. Evan ‘Verhulst’ Verhulst also left TSM recently, and before him both Phillip ‘ImperialHal‘ Dosen and coach Elias ‘raven’ Ghribi also departed.

This means that the organisation’s original ALGS line-up has left. TSM currently has no signed Apex players, meaning it’s unlikely to compete at ALGS Year 5.

Reps first joined the organisation in June 2019 shortly after Apex Legends first launched. Since then, he’s won over $650,000 (~£503,000) in prize pool money.

2023 saw Reps at his prime, the year where he won several major titles. Many consider ALGS Year 3 to be the peak of his esports career, claiming first in multiple LANS alongside ImperialHal and Verhulst with Raven’s coaching.

The unstoppable trio helped cement TSM’s dominance in the early seasons of ALGS and other Apex leagues, such as the X Games Invitational.

Where Reps will permanently go from here is anyone’s guess, but it’s clear that he’s not leaving the Apex scene any time soon. A post on X shared how Reps would be playing with Dominic ‘Deeds‘ Peranio and Alan ‘Vaxlon‘ Gonzalez in what could be the biggest year for ALGS yet.

Deeds said: “Teaming up with Reps and Vaxlon for ALGS Open and Year 5 Pro League. Let’s get to work fellas.”
