Realm introduces a solo queue league for Apex in April

By | Niranjan Bhargav 6 Mar, 2023

Apex Legends has reached its highest player count since its release, with the game’s Ranked playlist continuing to break new records. The interest in the competitive side of Apex has grown with more players reaching for the coveted Predator rank. The latest addition to the game is a new tournament that seeks to create the best-ranked environment possible. The top players on the online ladder will compete against each other in a seasonal league organized by Realm, an automated matchmaking service.

Realm’s SoloQ League

Realm has announced its official seasonal league, which seeks to tailor the traditional ranked ladder into a more competitive experience. The league will use the solo queue format for all players competing. The season will run for three months, starting on April 1, with signups starting in the middle of March. To qualify, players in North America must be the rank of Predator or above, while EMEA must be Masters or above. Realm’s SoloQ League will include different tiers for lower Elo players, with their own set of prizing and season finals.

Creating a Safe Environment

The arrival of a new alternative to the traditional ranked ladder has been met with wide positive reception. Season 16’s ranked experience has been plagued with new documented hacks, taking full control of the firing and reloading of players’ guns, leaving them disadvantaged in what should be a serious and competitive match. With Realm’s private matchmaking network, all players can compete in a safe environment, with additional measures for keeping cheaters out of the league.

Positive Feedback from Pros and Content Creators

Many pros and content creators have voiced high praise for Realm’s involvement in Apex. Their recent pre-season finals featured a captain draft format and a $10,000 prize pool involving several ALGS-partnered organizations such as EMEA’s Element 6 and Fire Beavers. Despite the worries for their future and sustainability, Realm has confirmed the full support of Respawn and EA for the league.

Apex Legends has hit a new milestone with its highest player count since release, and Realm’s new SoloQ League is set to bring a more competitive edge to the game. With its private matchmaking network, Realm is creating a safe environment for players to compete and keep cheaters out of the league. The positive feedback from pros and content creators proves that the game is moving in the right direction. With plans for expansion into CoD Warzone and Fortnite, Realm’s SoloQ League is an exciting development for the competitive Apex community.
