"Don't give up on your dreams," says South American ALGS Championship winner Paradox

The first winners of the ALGS Championship were crowned this weekend as the APAC North, APAC South, and South American regions played their Championship Finals matches. This weekend was the culmination of over a year of Apex Legends Global Series esports, and with significant portions of the $2.5 million prize pool on the line, the biggest matches of many players' careers.
Fennel Korea and WolfPack Arctic took the wins in incredibly close-fought APAC North and APAC South regions respectively, taking home $177,319 each. In South America, the group stage's dominant team Paradox continued its hot streak to take home first place, despite being pushed to the last by an in-form Fênix I. Paradox takes home a smaller, but by no means negligible, $109,333 for its efforts.
"Our hard work and dedication have really paid off," Lucas 'artiNN1' Cafure, Paradox's in-game leader, tells The Loadout following the end of the Championship Finals. "But this is just the beginning of everything that's still to come." artiNN1 could not have conquered the South American region without his teammates Leandro 'N3LAS' Domingos Francisco and Hernandes 'Besk9' Mateus dos Santos.
