The on-going Apex Legends Global Series 2022 featured a very competition, with underdog teams displaying up-scaled performances. Surprisingly, prominent teams like TSM, 100 Thieves, and OpTic Gaming were pushed to the Loser’s Bracket after Winner’s Bracket Round 1, dismaying a lot of fans. However, most of them managed to make a comeback in the Loser’s Bracket round, with 100 Thieves topping the LB Round 2 charts.
ImperialHal refused to take an extra kill point
In a Loser’s Bracket Round 2 match, TSM ran into a disconnected player outside of the popular POI, Capitol City, which is now split into Fragment East and Fragment West. According to ImperialHal, it was a player of SCARZ.
As fans know, both TSM and SCARZ were in danger of not making it to the Finals, slated to happen tomorrow. Even though TSM had the chance to grab an extra point for Loser’s Bracket Round 2, ImperialHal didn’t take advantage. He also asked his teammates to not shoot.
The clip of ImperialHal’s modesty went viral on Twitter and Reddit as fans couldn’t get enough of his wholesome behavior. Although ImperialHal’s behavior isn’t the best at most times, fans appreciated his immense sportsmanship in such an important tournament. Here are a few fan reactions:
