The Apex Legends Global Series first Major of 2020 is just around the corner, with the aptly named “Major 1” kicking things off in Arlington, Texas.
Major 1 is the first of four Major tournaments Apex will hold for its 2020-21 Global Series, which EA announced back in December of 2019.
Close to 100 Apex esports teams will be competing for their share of the $500,000 prize pool and most importantly of all, bragging rights as the best Apex Legends squad around, at least until the next one.

Apex teams will descend on Esports Stadium Arlington in Texas to battle it out in front of fans starting with the Opening Stage on March 13 with all teams competing.
