Players will battle it out in teams of three, in their respective regions, across eight custom matches for a share of the ,000 prize pool. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Twitch Rivals: Apex Legends Showdown kicks off with the European action on 21 February 17:00 GMT (9:00 PT) with the North American tournament to following directly after.<\/p>\n
