On a day where more familiar names qualified for their regional Pro Leagues in the Apex Legends Global Series, the bigger story was the names that didn’t make it into North America’s finals lobby—and the teams that took their place.
The road to the finals lobby and qualification into Pro League was littered with names of last year’s Pro League competitors and other major players in the scene cast off before they even had a chance to earn themselves qualification points, or the instant qualification that winning a Preseason Qualifier would win them.
