European Apex Legends trio MCD picked up by Japanese team SCARZ

Mikkel, Can, & Dan - the Apex Legends team that was released by North Esports at the turn of the year and came back to win Winter Circuit #1 just a month later without the backing of an organisation - has signed for Japanese esports organisation SCARZ. The trio will be SCARZ's first European team.

Dan 'rpr' Ušić, Mikkel 'Mande' Hestbek, and Can 'Taisheen' Öztürk sat down with The Loadout after their historic win as MCD, and said they were focused on finding an org as soon as possible - but only if it was right for them. They maintain that their team chemistry is unparalleled in competitive Apex Legends, and their no-scrims policy sets them apart from the competition and keeps them in the tournament mindset.

rpr tells The Loadout that the roster's new organisation SCARZ is sympathetic to their systems, and their preparation won't change in the lead up to the Winter Circuit Playoffs and the ALGS Championship. "The org has no issues with us leading our team the way we want to and fully trusts us," he says.
