UK-based organisation Jlingz Esports will battle it out in the Apex Legends Global Series ALGS EMEA Regional Finals this weekend, along with other teams featuring UK players.
The action begins on Sunday May 7th from 6pm BST, with a prize pool of $125,000 on the line.
Jlingz’s all-UK Apex Legends squad, made up of Noiises, JMW, and Naghz, had a good performance in the second split, finishing sixth in the EMEA pro-league and securing a spot in the highly anticipated London Major in July.
Now they look forward to the ALGS EMEA Regional Finals.
They will be joined in the finals on Sunday by Vexed (with UK player Tyler, pictured), Pioneers (with UK players SirDel and Zaine), Alliance (with UK player Yuki). And Phoenix Legacy also features female player Sabz.
The ALGS EMEA Regional Finals competition this weekend promises to be intense, as the best teams from across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa come together to battle it out in the world of Apex Legends.
