Apex Legends is one of the biggest battle royale titles in the world, and quickly established itself as a major player in the world of gaming following its huge release back in February.
Now, ESPN are teaming up pro players, internet personalities, athletes and celebrities in teams of three to drop into King’s Canyon in the hopes of becoming an Apex Champion.

The competition will feature three rounds of play, with $25,000 donated to the V Foundation for Cancer Research on behalf of the trio that finishes first in the overall competition.
A number of well-known gaming personalities, such as Nick ‘Nick EH 30’ Amyoony, TSM’s Colton ‘Viss’ Visser and Coby ‘Dizzy’ Meadows will be holding down the fort in terms of professional players, alongside a number of ESPN hosts who will take to the sticks.
