Virtus.pro re-enter Apex Legends signing Team Burger

Virtus.pro have re-entered Apex Legends, signing the APAC South team formerly known as 'Team Burger'. This marks a long awaited return for the Russian organisation, who were last in Apex Legends back in 2020.

They will make their debut at the upcoming ALGS Split 1 Playoffs in Los Angeles, with Team Burger having finished fifth in the recent APAC South Pro League.

Virtus.pro joins a growing list of organisations returning to Apex Legends, with the likes of Spacestation Gaming, NAVI and Cloud9 also picking up teams in recent months.

The new Virtus.pro Apex roster is comprised of Dylan "Prycyy" Price, Isaac "wey" Gorial, Rick "Sharky" Wirth and Bilal "urban" Fulat.

In 'Team Burger' Virtus.pro have a team that features substantial LAN experience, and a strong fan following. All three players on this roster have appeared at at least one ALGS LAN. Sharky is a winner of two LAN events with Reignite then DarkZero back in 2022.

While they will be a dark horse for the ALGS Split 1 Playoffs, their experience means they should comfortably reach the finals. Then, with a Match Point format, anyone can snatch a victory.

Prycyy is one of APAC South's most successful competitors, having been part of the Moist Esports team that dominated the region for several months. He took a break for several months following the 2023 ALGS Split 2 Playoffs, but has returned exactly how he left. With Team Burger, Prycyy was once again one of the best performing players in the region.

Across the most recent APAC South Pro League split, Prycyy averaged 8.43 kills per week, finishing 11th for kills in the region. He has experience at LAN events, as well as winning under a Match Point format.

His most notable tournament achievements are:

Wey is the least known of the new Virtus.pro Apex roster, having only began competing in mid-2022. He grinded through Pre-Season qualifiers to earn a Pro League spot in late 2022. Finishing 23rd in his first Pro League split, Wey would not compete in Pro League again until joining Team Burger.

However, he impressed at the ALGS 2023 Championship in Birmingham, competing with Tom Yung Kum. This was his first taste of LAN action. Tom Yung Kum finished 25th, but put in some impressive performances having made roster adjustments not far out from the event.

His most notable tournament achievements are:

In Sharky, Virtus.pro have one of the most decorated and highest earning Apex players in the games history. Part of the team that won the 2022 Split 2 Playoffs and the 2022 ALGS Championship back to back, Sharky has immense LAN experience and success.

He took an extended break from competition in April 2023, citing a "downward spiral of enjoyment and passion for the game." Passion restored, Sharky returned at the start of 2024 and instantly picked up where he left off with strong performances alongside the now Virtus.pro Apex team.

His most notable tournament achievements are:

This team will debut at the ALGS Split 1 Playoffs in Los Angeles, with games beginning May 2. Stay tuned to esports.gg for full coverage of the ALGS and all things Apex Legends.
