When <\/span>Apex Legends<\/i><\/b> burst onto the scene in 2019, few might have realized how massive the game would become in two years\u2019 time. With the introduction of <\/span>Apex Legends<\/span><\/i><\/a>‘\u00a0Ranked Leagues, millions of players tried to grind out matches, racking up as many wins as they could in order to call themselves an Apex Predator. With the boom in popularity for Respawn Entertainment and EA\u2019s battle royale, the duo announced the <\/span>Apex Legends<\/span><\/i> Global Series, the official competitive esport for the game. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although the <\/span>Apex Legends<\/span><\/i> Global Series, ALGS for short, was announced toward the end of 2019, the plans for 2020 were cut short. The <\/span>expansion of the COVID-19 pandemic forced EA to cancel live events<\/span><\/a> starting in March. Going forward, the ALGS had to adapt to an online lifestyle, creating multiple online tournaments with a Summer and Autumn Circuit in 2020. What followed were competitions that refined the skills of the pros and helped give some grassroots opportunities for those that wanted a chance to win prizes. Now up? The ALGS Winter Circuit.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ALGS Winter Circuit begins with a <\/span>series of online tournaments<\/span><\/a> powered by Battlefy. From January to March 2021, five online tournaments will determine which teams are able to advance to the official playoffs for each region. In turn, the winners of each region\u2019s playoffs will advance to the first <\/span>Apex Legends<\/span><\/i> Global Series Championship for a chance at the $1 million prize pool.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teams are able to enter into the five ALGS regions of North America, South America, APAC North (Korea and Japan), APAC South (Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand), and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa). While the Middle East and Africa teams will compete in their own online tournaments, regional winners will be included with Europe. All regions will be playing on A<\/span>pex Legend<\/span><\/i>\u2019s Season 7, with the World\u2019s Edge map. So while competitors will be able to use Horizon, they will not be able to use <\/span>the newest Legend introduced in Season 8, Fuse<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
