As Legacy Gaming embarks on its strategic shift to the North American scene, the team welcomes the highly acclaimed Jake "Stewie2K" Yip as a stand-in. Stewie2K, renowned for his tenure with powerhouse teams like Cloud9 and Team Liquid, and particularly for his pivotal role in the ELEAGUE Major Boston victory, will fill the recent vacancy left by Marcelo "coldzera" David.
Legacy's announcement comes on the heels of their campaign at the PGL Major Copenhagen, where they made a commendable but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to advance past the Opening Stage. Stewie2K's short-term involvement was shared via a tweet, emphasizing his role in aiding the team during this crucial period of geographical and strategic transition. The exact duration of his stint remains undisclosed, though it's projected to span across several online competitions throughout April, including ESEA events and the Esports World Cup qualifiers.
This stint with Legacy marks a notable return for Stewie2K to a competitive setup with a Brazilian roster, reminiscent of his 2018 journey with SK and MIBR, where he played alongside legends like FalleN and coldzera. After a hiatus from the competitive circuit since his departure from Evil Geniuses in July 2022, Stewie2K had shifted his focus to content creation and streaming. However, his recent pronouncements highlighted a reignited passion for competition, setting the stage for this latest development.
With Stewie2K on board, even if just for a transient period, Legacy is poised to inject a fresh competitive vigor into their lineup, seeking to capitalize on his extensive experience and strategic acumen.
Currently, Legacy's roster includes:
