Apex Legends Leagues, Teams & Major Tournaments
Like CS:GO and Dota 2, Apex Legends has multiple high-profile Esports events that run each year. You can bet on the following tournaments at Stake.com:
Global Series: The Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) is the biggest Esports event for the game, with a prize pool of $5,000,000. The end-of-season event is the grand finale, which follows the Challenger Circuit and the Pro League.
Challenger Circuit: Amateurs and professionals compete side-by-side on the Challenger Circuit to qualify for the Apex Legends Pro League.
Pro League: The 30 best teams compete for a place at the end-of-season Global Series Grand Final, where the biggest prizes are available.
2023 was the third year of the Apex Legends Global Series, with Team SoloMid (TMS) achieve first place as the ALGS champion, followed by OpTic Gaming.
In other years, Australian Esports team DarkZero Esports won the 2021-22 ALGS championship, while the initial event was split into five regional championships, delivering the following winners: Kungarna NA (North America), Paradox Esports (South America), Scarz Europe (EMEA), Fennel Korea (APAC North) and Wolfpack Arctic (APAC South).
How to Bet on Apex Legends & Types of Apex Legends Bets
There are several ways to bet on Apex Legends at Stake.com, and you can mix things up as you make your selections. Specifically, you can place the following bets on the leading Apex Legends events:
Match winner: This is a bet on the Esports team to win an Apex Legends fixture against another team in a tournament or event.
Map winner: As each Apex Legends game is split into maps, you can bet on which team you think will win a specific map.
Handicap betting: This is a bet on the team to win a fixture, with a map handicap that they must overcome.
Total rounds/maps: As most Apex Legends matches are played in a “best of” format, you can bet on the total number of maps you think will be played in a fixture between two teams.
First blood: This is a bet on the team you think will make the first kill (first blood) in an Apex Legends Esports fixture.
Outright winner: Rather than betting on specific fixtures, you can bet on the team you believe will win a major Apex Legends event like the ALGS outright.
Parlay: In a parlay bet, you can bet on several Esports teams to win their respective fixtures. You can also place same-game multi-bets, which gives you a great chance of boosting your odds.
