Apex Legends' Arenas mode to get competitive debut at BLAST Titans

Following the successful conclusion of the first ever Apex Legends Global Series Championship in June, esports tournament organiser BLAST announced that it wanted a slice of the Apex pie by running its own EU-based competition, BLAST Titans.
Titans was always billed to be a slightly leftfield and experimental competition, with BLAST telling The Loadout it wasn't attempting to "mirror" what the ALGS had already accomplished. That's probably why BLAST today revealed that Titans will be the first big tournament to showcase Apex Legends' new round-based Arenas mode.
While the 40 teams will stick to what they know best for the first week of BLAST Titans - that being the traditional battle royale mode - the second week will see the trios duke it out in Arenas. This will add a completely new dynamic, and be the first chance to see what the best Apex Legends players in Europe can conjure up strategy-wise in a new mode.
