Coronavirus – An update on upcoming Apex Legends Global Series Events

An Important Update on Upcoming Apex Legends Competitive Gaming Events

Due to the current situation with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and its impact, not just on the gaming industry but the entire world, we are postponing the first Major in the Apex Legends Global Series that was scheduled for next weekend, March 13-15, in Arlington, Texas. While we don’t have a new date to share at this point in time, we’ll look to provide more updates for this Major and its effect on the whole Global Series as soon as we can. 

Please note: The Apex Legends Global Series Online Tournament #2 will take place as planned on March 21 and 23.

This decision hasn't come easy, but given the large, global nature of the event, we believe that making this change is in the best interest of protecting the health of the community, including competitors, attendees and staff. As we continue to monitor the situation around the Coronavirus and receive guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO), we’ll continue to evaluate and provide more updates as it relates to all Apex Legends Global Series events.
