Apex Legends’ esports market is still not really hot, but some gamers have already earned themselves a decent amount of prize money from recent tournaments.
Apex Legends exploded onto the battle royale market when it launched on February 4, reaching millions of players in just a few weeks of launch. Apex Legends has a lot of action, and the same way that gun battles are common in the game, making the game a candidate for long-term esports.
While there have only been a few major events so far, Colby ‘dizzy’ Meadows and his NRG teammate Richard ‘KingRichard’ Nelson have been quite successful in Apex Legends’ esports infancy.
Both are occupying the top spots in all three code Red events as well as North American Twitch Rivals: Apex Legends Challenge and Twitch Rivals Apex Legends Rematch Challenge.
Their level of success is comparable to famous streamers Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins or Lucas ‘Mendokusaii’ Håkansson.
Currently, dizzy has brought me $21,416.67 in prize money. At a relatively young age, dizzy has the talent to help him stay at the top consistently, KingRichard trails behind $19,750.00.
Two NRG team members are currently in first place and two of the highest earning players, while Mendo’s prize money, who ranks third, is $16,733.33. Since then, the income gap with the 4th person has started to widen: Jordan ‘HusKers’ Thomas is in 4th place with an income of $10,500.00.
This hottest battle royale game hasn’t really touched on esports yet. Surely in the coming time, tournaments will attract more players as well as bigger and bigger bonuses.
