Electronic Arts and Respawn have announced the Apex Legends Preseason Invitational, which will feature a total 240 players and 80 teams competing for a US $500,000 prize pool.<\/p>\n

The world’s leading Apex Legends esports<\/a> talent will head to Krakow in mid-September to compete in one of the biggest events in esports history and the first major offline esports event held by Respawn following their success with Twitch Rivals events.<\/p>\n

The Apex Legends Preseason Invitational will run from September 13-15 in a double-elimination format. The 80 teams, each consisting of three players, will be grouped together using a snake draft where the order is reversed after each round of selections.<\/p>\n

Once the draft is completed, the long-awaited journey for 240 glory-hungry legends will begin by dropping them into the winners’ bracket, from where only their performances will dictate which way the road will take them.<\/p>\n

After each round of play, the teams will either continue into the next stage of the same bracket or suffer relegation into the losers’ bracket and ultimately be eliminated from the tournament entirely.<\/p>\n

The same format will continue into the next couple of days until the tournament winnows down to only the best 20 teams on September 15, which will mark the day of one last large-scale brawl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
