Alongside the usual offerings of an Apex Legends Collection Event, the skins and the reward tracker, players can look forward to the long-awaited return of the Control LTM. Yes, Control is finally back once again - and this time there's going to be important matchmaking improvements. Yeah, that Awakening Collection Event release date needs to hurry up, right?

New Apex Legends cinematic gives us a glimpse of Lifeline's backstory, and Octane's face

Lifeline doesn’t get a lot of love compared to most of the cast of Apex Legends. Not only are they one of the original cast, and have kind of fallen into the background thanks to flashier, more exciting characters, but they aren’t particularly good either.

However, there’s some hope for the trusty support, as we’ve gotten a new Stories from the Outlands cinematic where she, alongside childhood friend Octane, go on a medicine heist and overcome some parental expectation all while dodging bullets and explosions. Fun stuff.

Going in, you’d expect some deep dives into character motivation for joining up in the Apex Games, as well as an entertaining show for any and all invested in the narrative threads that weave between the battle royale, comics, and other scattered lore across the internet. However, what you may not have expected is a first ever look at Octane’s face.

ALGS Championship can cement Apex Legends in "top echelon" of esports

The biggest day in Apex Legends esports history is just a month or so away - the 2021-22 Apex Legends Global Series Championship in Raleigh, North Carolina. While we recently saw a return to international LAN events in May with the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs in Sweden, the Championship will mark the first time a team will be crowned as an Apex Legends world champion - and it'll be happening in front of thousands of fans.

It's an exciting prospect for players, organisations, fans, and also those who work behind the scenes on the Apex Legends Global Series, including the competition's commissioner, John Nelson.

Prior to this week's announcement that the ALGS Champs will be heading to Raleigh, we got the chance to fire over some questions to Nelson about the event, what the team learned from the Playoffs in Sweden (which had a few rocky moments in the build up), and whether EA's vision of three LANs on three continents may be realised next season in Year 3 of the ALGS.
