I often find myself bemused by people who buy in-game skins, stickers and tchotchkes for free-to-play multiplayer games. Then I remember that collecting football stickers is the most fun I ve ever had by spending money.
For my pocket money placed into Panini s pockets, I got a completed World Cup 94 sticker book. For buying one of four new bundles of items for Apex Legends, you ll now help fund the ALGS Championship prize pool up to $3 million.
This is the first time that Apex Legends has adopted this kind of funding model for its esports tournament, and its following in the footsteps of Dota 2 s The International. EA will guarantee a prize pool of $1 million, and there s a cap of $3 million on how high it can grow.
