The Apex Legends Global Series is a collection of competitive events that aims to bring together contenders of all levels from around the world on the PC platform.
Respawn Entertainment plans to initially feature 12 global live events throughout 2020, with the first online tournament kicking off on Jan. 25. The first major event will then take place on March. 13. Altogether, there will be a prize pool of more than $3 million.
The Apex Global Series will be split into four subsections: online tournaments, challenger events, premier events, and majors.
The online tournaments are the starting point for players and the place to qualify for live events.
The challenger events will focus on regional competitions, giving local talent a platform to prove themselves.
The premier events will feature the best online competitors from each region, with the top performers earning points and advanced placement invitations to majors.
Finally, the majors are the flagship EA live events where the best teams around the world will compete for the largest prize pools throughout the year.
