Publisher Electronic Arts<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0testing the waters for\u00a0a new competitive tournament system. The patent for the new esports tournament layout makes mention of how modern battle royale tournaments can become boring for viewers, as the end result can become obvious after just a few rounds.<\/p>\n

Electronic Arts<\/a>‘ new system will reinvigorate\u00a0Apex Legends<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>competitive play by ensuring players meet a ‘victory condition’ during the tournament, so competitors can’t win through only sneaky, efficient play. The contestants will have to perform some kind of secondary objective to win, meaning even if they win enough rounds to take the tournament, they won’t be crowned victor until that secondary condition is met.<\/p>\n

While the document detailing this is vague on the exact details, viewers of professional competitive Apex\u00a0<\/em>can expect to see some more diverse head-to-head battles in the future. Seeing as the first official Apex\u00a0<\/em>tournament was a fairly mundane affair<\/a>, despite the\u00a0result being so close. Viewers can now look forward to some exciting, specialized tournament play. High level players will have to test more than their accuracy when the new modifiers are introduced.<\/p>\n

Most interestingly, the patent discusses how players will be able to earn points towards winning through less-obvious methods, like ranking on distance travelled or damage taken. This scoring system\u00a0is meant to give viewers more moments to look forward to, while rewarding the competitors for less-obvious plays. For example,\u00a0points for damage dealt, and taken, will give fights more of a sliding-scale effect rather than the\u00a0all-or-nothing presented by other competitions.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, this ties to EA’s core point in its brief: “This\u00a0can result in increased player and viewer engagement… because it is uncertain who will win the tournament until the victory condition(s) are met.” EA\u00a0is looking at creating exciting content that stands apart from\u00a0its competitors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No timescale has been given on this set of competitive changes, but it does suggest that EA\u00a0is beginning to lean into its premier battle royale’s\u00a0broadcast side. After 8 seasons of new content, and ports to every major platform,\u00a0Apex<\/em> has accrued\u00a0a massive playerbase<\/a> with record-breaking concurrent numbers.\u00a0Missing out on an streaming audience of such a caliber has been one of\u00a0Apex’s\u00a0<\/em>biggest blunders, especially paling in comparison to\u00a0Epic’s\u00a0Fortnite<\/em>. With this new set of applications, EA seems ready to make some major moves on the esports side of\u00a0Apex Legends.<\/em><\/p>\n

The online audience available to titles like\u00a0Apex Legends\u00a0<\/em>is only growing with time<\/a>. EA is not the first to try and lay the groundwork to get a slice of this digital pie \u2013\u00a0Riot Games’<\/em> broadcast of Worlds 2020,\u00a0its flagship tournament for League of Legends<\/em>, had a global viewership nearing 4 million in the final match. Activision, publishers of\u00a0the Call of Duty<\/em> series, have\u00a0recently renewed a patent for\u00a0it’s own tournament infrastructure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apex Legends\u00a0<\/em>isn’t showing any signs of slowing down any time soon, and EA seems set on pushing\u00a0Respawn‘<\/em>s title even further into the limelight. It is a competitive market, facing off against other industry giants, as well as the largest streaming site itself<\/a>,\u00a0and only time can tell how EA’s plot to grab some screen time from this melting pot will go.<\/p>\n
