Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment will bring the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) to Germany. The playoffs, in which teams from around the world will compete for a total of one million dollars in prize money and the playoff trophy, will take place from 29 August to 1 September in Mannheim at the SAP Arena.
