Being a Legend is an attitude, and next month is your chance to flex some and take a shot at Apex Legends™ immortality. Legends—gather for the fight, it’s time for the first-ever Nessie Cup!

Oversight Esports will hold a month-long tournament, featuring Apex Legends™, consisting of three invitationals, which will all lead up to one final showdown. What sets the Apex Legends Nessie Cup apart from other tournaments is that Creator legends RayndayGuhrl and Dazs will each host an invitational event, drawing from their community of players to participate along the way, and each event will feature a $50,000 prize pool. To add a bit more spice, they’ve added some twists to each of the invitational’s game formats†! 

In addition to the three invitationals, the Nessie Cup will also feature a final event with an additional $100,000 prize pool.The players with the most points will move on to the Finals to duke it out for bragging rights, prize money, and a truly incredible trophy with Raynday, Dazs, and Guhrl in the mix!. Additionally, the winners will receive bragging rights, which is probably the best prize of all.
