This month’s BLAST Titans Apex Legends event will see tier-one teams competing against each other for the first time in the game’s popular new Arenas mode.
Recently added Arenas mode will be played by Europe’s best Apex Legends teams
This month’s BLAST Titans (July 23rd-25th & July 31st-August 1st) event will be the first tier-one Apex Legends event to showcase the brand new Arenas mode with the best teams around Europe competing for a €40,000 prize pool.
The inaugural BLAST Titans tournament will see 40 teams, including the likes of Gambit, Alliance, and NAVI, competing online over two action-packed weekends – the esports tournament organizer’s first event in the battle royale game.
The popular Arenas mode was first introduced on Apex Legends in June and features teams of three going head-to-head in a round-based tactical shooter format. The top 20 teams from the first weekend (July 23rd-25th, 2021) of BLAST Titans action, will qualify for the second weekend (July 31st-August 1st, 2021). The second weekend’s action will offer the first insight into the pro meta in Apex Legends’ newest game mode.
