How to play in $500,000 Apex Legends GS Summer Circuit: dates, format, more
Respawn EntertainmentRespawn and EA have officially announced the Apex Legends Global Series Summer Circuit, which will pit some of the best players and squads from each global region against one another for the first time.
Over the last few months, the Apex Legends Online Tournaments have produced several leaderboard-topping teams for each region, and now the next level of the competition is finally here.
The ALGS Summer Circuit is a four-month series that will see these various regional powers battle it out for the first time head-to-head while vying for a spot in the September playoffs and a piece of the $500,000 prize pool.
ALGS Summer Circuit schedule
Since there will be fewer total teams for the Summer Circuit, EA has broken things up into four “Super Regional” groups: Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), North America and South America (Americas), Greater Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand (APAC South), Japan and Korea (APAC North).
There will be four Super Regional tournaments and one “Last Chance” Qualifier over the summer before playoffs begin in September.
