The ES TIMES — Twisted Minds has officially announced its return to the competitive Apex Legends scene, signing with Stallions, one of the most prominent freestyle teams in North America.
This announcement represents the Saudi organization's full commitment to Apex Legends, ahead of the start of the ALGS Open and the continuation of the ALGS Pro League.
Although Stallions finished 39th at the ALGS Championship in Sapporo, they have made significant improvements during the offseason.
They have added Haris "hodsic" Hodzic, a veteran coach known for his strategic thinking, and Alexander "Enemy" Rodriguez, a controller fragger with extensive LAN tournament experience from his previous appearances with Disguised and Complexity.
These additions have elevated Stallions to one of the most promising freestyle teams in the region. Twisted Minds had previously ventured into Apex Legends through a short-term partnership with the Legends Gaming team during the 2024 Apex Legends Esports World Cup. Now, the organization is returning with a long-term investment.
Twisted Minds' new lineup in Apex Legends:
The team has already shown promise during the ALGS Split 1 Pro League A vs. C matchday, finishing third and winning one of six matches. The chemistry and teamfighting seemed strong, suggesting a promising path for the team.
The addition of Hodzic comes at a crucial time. ALGS Year 5 saw significant changes, including the inclusion of Broken Moon and E-District in the map rotation, as well as a new character ban system.
Hodsic coached Team Liquid during the Storm Point integration into ALGS and was praised for his quick adaptability, a quality Twisted Minds will benefit from as the meta continues to shift.
This new investment in Apex Legends aligns with the organization's larger ambitions. The team finished 12th at the 2024 Esports World Cup Club Championship, and with the 2025 edition just around the corner, returning to Apex gives them a fresh opportunity to compete at a high level. While qualification details for the Apex Legends Championship in Riyadh are still to be announced, the Stallions are well-positioned to make their mark.
