Nickmercs and his Apex squad, Tripods, are a renowned team that has an enormous fan base in the Apex Legends community. They have presented the community with many achievements that have earned themselves a reputation. However, a balance has to be maintained in a squad. And Tripods has taken this step for the squad in a positive spirit.
Nickmercs reveal a roster change in the making
Tripods are an Apex Legends squad with its members being Nickmercs, Lewda, and Deeds. Tripods will be participating in the Apex Legends Global Series Pro league. Moreover, Nickmercs recently announced a roster change that the squad will be undergoing.
Nickmercs told his stream that Lewda will no more be a part of the Tripods. He declared that the squad aimed at reaching the league, which they did.

Furthermore, Nickmercs explained to the stream the reason behind the roster change. He said, “The last few times that we got together as a squad man, you can really tell if you watched those streams there is just a different man. There is a difference. The vibes are not there you know and listen man I got a lot of respect for Lewd I don’t mean this in a bad way it’s just, it’s not it, it’s not it, it’s just not the fit for Deeds and I.”

Here are some of the fan reactions to the announcements and their predictions for the third man:
Nothing but love & respect for Lewda. Them boys went to war, i witnessed a ton of it. Couldnt be happier for Nick, this was the right stepping stone for Nick & Deeds.

I have this gut feeling. And as a Rookie III Apex Player I know what will work, and what won't. Trust me, They are bringing in @Trainwreckstv as their new IGL.
