How does the tournament work?
Apex Rising will consist of 40 teams, each individually made up with one pro player and two amateur players. However, the amateur players must be at least Diamond ranked or above. The 40 teams will be placed into four groups with ten teams each. Group A will play against Group B at the same time Group C plays against Group D.
The top ten from each match will move on to the Winners 1, while the bottom ten will move to Losers 1. In Winners 1, the top ten teams will move onto the finals while the bottom ten go to Losers 2. Afterwards, the top ten teams from Losers 1 will move onto Losers 2, while the bottom ten of Losers 1 will be eliminated.
Where can I watch?
The action will be streamed across two channels during the tournament.
