Apex Legends Global Series Year 3 Championship to Take Place at Insomnia Gaming Festival

The most anticipated Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) competition of the year, the ALGS Year 3 Championship, will bring 40 of the world’s best squads to Resorts World Arena in Birmingham, UK next month. On the biggest stage yet, competitors will battle for their share of $2 Million USD in total prizing and the title of World Champion. Taking place down the road from Insomnia Gaming Festival, it’s expected to be one of the biggest weekends for gaming and esports in the UK.

ALGS Year 3 Championship Overview

“The Year 3 Championship caps off a record-setting year for the Apex Legends Global Series,” said John Nelson, Sr. Director and Commissioner, Apex Legends Esports, Electronic Arts (EA). “Following two successful Playoffs events in the UK, we’re committed to making this a tentpole moment that not only delivers exciting international competition to fans around the world, but also more ways than ever before to connect with the ALGS community.”

The ALGS Year 3 Championship continues to expand fan experiences for attendees. After introducing team merch booths at the Split 2 Playoffs, the Year 3 Championship will add even more booths, including TSM, Alliance, DreamFire, and more. Teams will be selling official merchandise, giving away free swag, and more to celebrate the Year 3 Championship.

Fans will also have an opportunity to get their hands on limited edition merchandise and meet their favorite players and casters. All ALGS ticket holders will also qualify for discounted tickets to Insomnia Gaming Festival, which will feature additional opportunities to meet Apex Legends cosplayers. Discount codes will be emailed to ALGS attendees.
