Apex Legends Twitch Rivals Showdown: Schedule, Format, Teams, Prize Pool, How-To Watch

Twitch Rivals is back with the Apex Legends Showdown, featuring 120 of the game's top players and content creators from North America and Europe.

To decide the teams twenty team captains were chosen last week and a draft system was used - making teams a mix of Apex pros like, Joeseph "Frexs" Sanchez and Marshall "Mohr" Mohr of NRG esports, and more entertaining content creators.
