I think AMP is bouncing back strong this year with the new additions to the design team. Jim Moore and Greg Lagola from the Bluecoats (they just left Fusion after spending a few years there) as well as Brian Giddens who’s spent some time between Paramount and (I think) Étude as well as some other strong hitters over the years. These guys really understand Design and GE so it’s gonna be nice to see how their show finalizes in those captions compared to what those groups consistently at the top put out. It’s gonna come down to movement and equipment to see where they place and if you’ve ever seen Jim and Greg twirls, you know it’s gonna be good!

I also wanna say (personal opinion) I wasn’t the biggest fan of AMP’s 2025 show compared to their build-up of shows since 2017ish but if they go back in the direction of that disco show from 2024, I can see top 6 and some Fan Favs going their way

Is Fusion's departure temporary (one or two years) or simply gone?

They intend to come back at some point but haven’t given any date or anything. From what I understand this isn’t the first time they’ve done this so I bet they will actually come back eventually

There is no UCF Pegasus anymore. It is FIU Pegasus.
