After a rough year of popular names withdrawing from the ALGS, the Pinnacle Legends neighborhood lastly extends its welcome to a brand-new company. Late on Dec 28th, Electrify Steel revealed that they had actually signed the totally free representative lineup of previous Acend gamer Lufka with his colleagues Paweł “lighT” Haratyk, Jamie “Blasts” Levine, and coach “Liuq.”
The group formed after Acend decided to launch their Year 3 lineup, making star EMAS gamers Lufka, Kashera, and PostKiLL complimentary representatives. The trio is maybe most popular for practically winning the 2023 Split 1 Playoffs' match point last. They directly missed out on out on the win to TSM, they showed their worth as a group.
Electrify Steel revealed the finalizing of Lufka's group to excellent enjoyment from the Peak neighborhood. Electrify Steel is an American company, this is not their very first financial investment in the ALGS' EMEA area. In 2022, they signed Accentiii, Of Importance, and Sabz, the latter being the only gamer not retired at the time of Electrify Steel's return.
B-stream connoisseur and Peak legend NiceWigg discussed the finalizing with a favorable mindset and healthy dosage of humor, saying, “We enjoy to see it although Blasts gets brought by @MrGreekGod_ in ranked.”

Other ALGS neighborhood members reacted with comparable positivity and humor, with Peak Legends coach Alex “coldjyn” Nicholls discussing how “hot” Lufka searched in the statement post and another specific thinking back on playing core keeper with coach Liuq, where they “tamed some cows.”
Joking aside, having a company return to the competitive Pinnacle scene is a breath of fresh air following the losses of Team Liquid, 100 Thieves, G2, Acend, and Kansas City Pioneers, none of whichcurrently have active lineups. In an interview with Pinnacle content developer and author JMeyels, the Electrify Steel executive vice president JP Williams exposed that it was the group's interest that stood apart to the company the most, motivating them to make the finalizing.
Seeing brand-new companies take an interest in the ALGS, marking a possible indication of healing. EA has actually presented its Year Four partner program, supplying a monetary stipend to individuals and intending to promote more partnership and cross-promotional material production throughout the league.
Now with the support of Electrify Steel, Lufka, Light, Blasts, and Luiq can begin getting ready for the ALGS Pro League, which starts on Jan. 20, 2024.
