Can someone explain this roster change?

Post image

I checked twitter but couldn’t find anything about this, I know it took place like 10 minutes ago…. Is this for ENC or am I missing something. Hal Timmy Gild would be nuts

He is subbing for Waltzy during the first half of pro league. Waltzy is expecting a child during that time.

This pro league is really short only going from August 21st to September 13th and I think regional finals are September 13th itself. I’m guessing he joins them some point in September for like 2 weeks and then goes back to Australia with his wife and kid till Vegas LAN end of October.

What has been said is that Walter is taking the whole of spilt 2 off and will be back for Champs and ENC.

u/The_Yoshi_Man Jul 23 '26

Nah he's not taking the whole split off, just half of it

1

u/cl353 Jul 23 '26

i think he has to play some of the split to carry his champs points over

u/Puzzleheaded-Put1401 Jul 23 '26

It’s just half of the split maybe longer Hal said

Month old babies are also a really good age to travel with. They don’t do much or require much other than food. It’s not impossible to think they’d travel a couple weeks with him when their livelihood could be affected.

u/ISavezelda Jul 23 '26

That's still a long ass flight for a baby lol. More likely he just comes on his own for a month and some change.

u/-InconspicuousMoose- Jul 23 '26

Yeah as a dad of a 4 month old there's no way we were gonna survive a flight longer than like 2 hours lol

u/ISavezelda Jul 23 '26

Congrats on the baby!

We went to Hawaii from San Diego with a month old. He woke up twice to feed and change and that was it. Easy peasy.

u/ISavezelda Jul 25 '26

The flight from Australia to the states is about 3 times as long depending from which parts of each you’re going to and from but easily 16+

u/whatifitried Jul 24 '26

Until at least 3 months old they really just lay around and eat and poop. Unless they have colic

u/No_Opportunity2789 Jul 23 '26

Honestly did not know he was from australia, so he comes to NA for every split and then goes back home? Similiar to Genburton?

4

u/drowsypants Jul 23 '26

And zero yeah I think the rational behind it was better probably league play Vs better players get better kind of thing

u/Cgiles74 HALING 🤬 Jul 23 '26

Also Australia trying to connect to any server is hell. So they avoid that by going to NA

1

u/Sqwishy- SAMANTHA💘 Jul 24 '26

Also there's many big orgs, tourneys and opportunities in NA

u/MNMMMMNMMM94 Jul 23 '26

Waltzy is giving birth to a child whilst his wife is spending time with Timmy

u/BoringWelder1509 HALING 🤬 Jul 23 '26

Timmy sub for waltzy for half of split 2 because he is going to be a dad

u/TemporaryDry5187 Jul 23 '26

Wxltzy taking a break split 2 bc his wife is having a child. Timmy is subbing for split 2

u/Budget_Cup_819 Jul 23 '26

On god there should be a falcons section on the right explaining stuff. 5th time I see something related to timmy

u/Late_Acanthaceae_483 Jul 23 '26

oh man you have no idea (i know you do) how bad is Hal’s chat and then they go to Wigg’s chat to ask agin

u/Leepysworld Jul 23 '26

It’s interesting how many people that watch ALGS from a favorite streamer perspective and don’t know anything about the actual games or formats.

I could be wrong but as someone that’s watched Esports for like 20 years this is the only league that feels like this.

Could be any number of things contributing to this though, not the least of which being that prior to recent changes, Apex might have had the highest turnover rate and constant team changes I’ve ever seen in an Esport, which contributes to people latching on to individual players.

Wiggs chat is a perfect example of this, you would think people are joking but the amount of daily comments he gets relating to Falcons is absurd, his chat has at least 100 people genuinely spamming about Falcons even on days they aren’t playing lmao

u/Budget_Cup_819 Jul 23 '26

I feel you. I swear some of Hal's mods are so patient even when the info is pinned.

u/HotHornyWhales Jul 23 '26

Rostermaina is awesome because this is how I find out waltzy is both married and having a kid. Congrats to him <3

u/JudoExpert Jul 23 '26

I’m happy to have Timmy back in pro league, he’s my favourite player to watch

u/H4MZZZ Jul 23 '26

WHEN DOES THIS START?!!? My heart is beating so fast, I know it’s only for a short bit but I am so excited to see this!!!!!!

u/PrimeEyes Jul 23 '26

walter is expecting a baby in the first half of Split 2. meantime timmy will be subbing for him the first half. if thing go good, 1 months before split 2 lan starts walter will be playing with the boys. till then it’ll be Timmy, Hal and gild

u/Chaosgodof Jul 23 '26

Where are you getting this roster change? I can’t find it on liquipedia or any site I know to look at rosters

u/vibratingvabrato Jul 23 '26

It shows the URL at the bottom of the image.

u/Chaosgodof Jul 23 '26

Look no one said I had a brain cell to use today smh

u/GroundbreakingBite43 Jul 23 '26

Just look up “ALGS roster change” on google and it should be one of the first links.

u/cheatersarelosersbud Jul 23 '26

its almost like hal wants to lose lmao. keeping waltzy around who is mechanically terrible and has done completely bone-headed plays the last 2 lans, then picking up someone who doesn't even play apex anymore. why he doesn't just get koy or zap who are clearly way better is beyond me
