The Apex Legends Apex Rising Charity Invitational is taking place next month
If you’ve never heard of Falloutt, Jon Kefaloukos aka Falloutt is the life of the party when it comes to shoutcasting for the Apex Legends Global Series! Even if you’re not an avid follower of the Apex Legends esports scene, there’s a good chance you’ll become a fan if you watch him shoutcast (I know I did when I first saw VikkiKitty). With his charisma and infectious energy, he’s the kind of person who can make every game exciting and fun.
On February 17, 2023, Falloutt released the following image, which shows a critical analysis of the current ecosystem competitive pyramid in Apex Legends.
Falloutt talks about the huge gap that remains unexplored between casual gamers and professionals. There is no doubt that game makers will devote all their resources and time to maximizing the lowest part of the pyramid, namely casual gamers, as this is the largest part of their player base.
There’s always a HUGE amount of downtime after the Challenger Circuit ends, and aspiring pro players have nothing to grind other than a leaderboard, and we all know that the Apex Legends leaderboard is… well, it’s something… And get this, all these aspiring players watch ALGS, get pumped up and motivated at having scored just to play. Many players have repeatedly asked for a community-based competitive scene outside of the main event ALGS circuit series, and that’s exactly what we’re going to get! So let’s talk about –
APEX RISES
What is it? Well, the answer to our problem! Apex Rising is a new tournament series focused on giving fans, community members, and aspiring pro players the opportunity to experience competitive Apex Legends like the pros. The ultimate goal is to provide the resources, support, and opportunities needed to help aspiring Apex Legends pro players and fans thrive, and to bridge the gap between the community and the pros.
Here they can show off their skills and take their game to the next level. But here’s the thing, it’s not just about the competition – Apex Rising is also dedicated to growing the game through the base. Community-driven events, tournaments and broadcasts that bring players of all skill levels together.
