‘Best thing since ALGS’: Pro players are abandoning Apex ranked for Realm—but it’s not perfect
Realm, an automated matchmaking service, first entered Apex Legends on March 5, 2023, with the announcement of a new pro league and plans to launch in two regions: North America and EMEA. Focusing on the solo queue experience, all players would be given random teams prior to each match, leading to a wide variety of first impressions for the tournament.
Realm’s first season started on April 3, with more than 650 participants in NA and EMEA and over 100 matches already played.
