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.

Apex Legends pro completes solo ranked climb using just snipers

Apex Legends' ranked mode is a tough enough gauntlet as it is, but for some of the battle royale's top players, hitting Master or even holding on to an illustrious Apex Predator rank just doesn't push them hard enough. One Apex pro has just completed one of the latest crazy ranked challenges by climbing from Bronze to Master as a solo queuer - but only using sniper rifles.

Danish pro player Mikkel 'Mande' Hestbek, who currently plays for SCARZ in the Apex Legends Global Series, finished off one of the toughest Apex Legends ranked challenges we've seen in a while on June 7. Telling his chat that he was simply "bored of playing normal ranked" matches, Mande has honed his skills as a marksman to snipe his way up to Master rank, all while solo queuing too.

While he was clearly exhausted and done with this challenge when that Diamond 1 icon finally flicked over to Master, the Dane clearly enjoyed having an extra layer of difficulty to this ranked climb.

Apex Legends' 2022 ALGS Championship will have a live audience

Apex Legends is easily one of the most popular battle royale games out there right now - and for a lot of good reasons. One of those good reasons is the fact that it has such an exciting competitive scene, with the Apex Legends Global Series Championship being the pinnacle. It's just been officially revealed that the Championships for year two of the ALGS will be coming to Raleigh, North Carolina, and yes: there will be a live audience.

The ALGS Year 2 Championship will be held between July 7 and July 10 in the PNC Arena where 40 squads from five regions will compete for a whopping $2,000,000 prize pool and the all-important ALGS Championship title.

"With an Apex community of over 100 million unique players worldwide, the recent launch of Apex Mobile, and the growth of our competitive ecosystem, which continues to break franchise and EA esports viewership records, we're hopeful the ALGS Championship will set another major benchmark for the franchise and further position Apex Legends among the top echelon of esports," John Nelson, the commissioner of the Apex Legends Global Series, tells The Loadout.
