The Apex Legends <\/em>Global Series is back on LAN and today it announced all the pertinent info for those fans unable to attend in person in London. The announcement included plenty of information about broadcast schedules, broadcasting talent, and the prizes that teams stand to win\u2014and the list of teams competing and their groups, which included two orgs not originally slated to appear in an official capacity.<\/p>
The two new teams are Sentinels, who had previously been rumored<\/a> to be in the competition courtesy of signing the former Spacestation Gaming squad, and JLINGZ Esports, the esports org founded by Premier League player Jesse Lingard. Both teams will have a shot at the bulk of the $1 million prize pool.<\/p>
Spacestation’s name is conspicuously absent, seeming to confirm the initial report<\/a> by Tom Bull for Esports.gg that Sentinels was acquiring the Spacestation roster for the Split One Playoffs and beyond. <\/p>
The Split One Playoffs also feature the return of the now traditional B Stream for the playoffs hosted by 100 Thieves’ NiceWigg<\/a> and Charlotte Phoenix’s Greek.<\/p>
The ALGS action kicks off on Thursday, Feb. 2 at 11am CT, and viewers can watch all the games on the PlayApex Twitch<\/a> and YouTube<\/a> channels. The grand final for the Apex <\/em>tournament will begin on Sunday, Feb. 5 at 6am CT.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
