Apex Legends has launched what it is calling the Stay & Play initiative. Basically what this means is that the Global Series tournaments are going to make a shift from physical to online. In addition, Online Tournaments are now going to have a $100,000 prize pool in addition to handing out ALGS points.
Before we dive a little deeper into the changes happening to the Online Tournament, it’s important to know what’s happening with the other events. The PGL Bucharest Premier Event #2, for example, was initially scheduled for May 30 to May 31, but has been postponed. No new date has been given.
Online Tournament #3
If you’ve been following the ALGS, the you probably know that two Online Tournaments have already been held and there are four remaining. Online Tournament #3 starts tomorrow, with the prize pool being divided into these different regions:
- North America: $23,000
- Europe: $23,000
- South America: $9,000
- South Korea: $9,000
