Apex Legends Global Series Year 2 Championship Reveals Venue Details

Electronic Arts revealed details this morning for the Apex Legends Global Series Year 2 Championship as we now know where it will be held. Organizers will be holding the event at the PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina, running from July 7th-10th. The event will see 40 of the best teams vying for a shot at the championship and a piece of the $2m prize pool. The arena was chosen to help accommodate thousands of fans and spectators to check out the competition as we'll see teams from across the globe pop in to prove their worth. No word was given as to what kind of health protocols would be observed during the event, but we're guessing they will follow what most conventions have been doing lately in requiring proof of vaccination and masking indoors. Those looking to attend can purchase tickets here, as we have more info and a couple of quotes from organizers below.

The ALGS Championship arrives as Apex Legends continues to gain momentum and reach more fans than ever. Earlier this month, the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs in Stockholm, Sweden, broke all-time viewership records across all previous EA Esports events. The ALGS Split 2 Playoffs Final on May 1 saw an average minute audience (AMA) of over 539,000 across watch parties and official ALGS broadcast channels. Viewers consumed more than 10.3 million hours of live content during the three-day tournament. The Apex Legends brand also recently celebrated major milestones, including the highly anticipated launch of Apex Legends Mobile and release of Saviors Season 13 on console and PC.

"Bringing ALGS to the PNC Arena is a major milestone for the Apex brand and indicative of the title's continued growth in the competitive scene," said John Nelson, Sr. Director and Commissioner, Apex Legends Esports at EA. "The ALGS Championship is a true celebration of fandom, and we're looking forward to delivering the first-ever live ALGS Championship experience for our community of players and the residents of Raleigh."

"We are excited to work with Electronic Arts to stage their first Apex Legends Global Series Championship to a live audience," said Don Waddell, PNC Arena and Carolina Hurricanes President. "We proudly present a variety of sports and entertainment events at PNC Arena, and we are looking forward to hosting our first-ever major esports competition. The ALGS Championship will allow us the opportunity to further solidify Greater Raleigh and PNC Arena as a global esports and entertainment destination."
