Electronic Arts (EA) and Respawn Entertainment have officially tapped
Lenovo Legion, Lenovo's gaming PC and accessories brand, as the exclusive PC
and monitor provider of the upcoming Apex Legends Global Series, the official
eSports program of the critically acclaimed Apex Legends. Lenovo is set to provide
more than 200 high-performance Lenovo Legion desktops and monitors on all Apex
Legends Global Series Majors ensuring that the best around the world can play
on some of the finest gaming equipment being offered.
The journey to the Apex Legends Global Series starts in a series of
online tournaments where aspiring participants can begin competing to qualify for
the Global Series Majors. The online elite subsequently advances to the local
Challenger events or regional Premier tournaments to showcase their skills at an
increasingly talented competition level. Only the best players on the planet
can go on to the Apex Legends Global Series Majors, and then ultimately to the
Global Series Championship where they will be greeted by Lenovo Legion
equipment that will be used in the high-stakes competition.
Among the equipment that will be used in the series is the Lenovo
Legion G730 tower which serves as a stunning powerhouse with up to 9th Gen
Intel Core i7 overclocked 9700K processors and supercharged NVIDIA GEForce RTX
2070 Super GPUs all ultimately cooled via Lenovo's Coldfront 2.0 technology with
Liquid Cooling. When paired with the Legion Y25 monitor, the Legion G730 tower
can deliver lightning-fast 144Hz refresh rates. Beyond these powerful desktop
PCs and monitors that are sure to be eSports-ready, Lenovo will also be providing
Lenovo Legion laptops on the casters' desks to spectate and commentate on the
live performance without ease.
No kidding aside, the exclusive partnership between Lenovo, EA and
Respawn is set to kick off during the first Apex Legends Global Series Major which
will take place in Arlington, Texas, USA on March 13-15, 2020. For more updates,
