With registrations so close to finishing up, there are only seven teams signed up (at the time of writing) and there’s a great prize pool of R6000 on the line. It goes without saying that South African Apex Legends players shouldn’t miss out on this opportunity.

- Third Place: R1000

We caught up with Mettlestate’s Barry “Anthrax” Louzada to have a quick chat about the Apex League Season 2. Check out the questions and answers below.
Q&A with Anthrax
Currently, there are only 7 teams registered. What do you want to tell local teams who are on the fence about registering?
Anthrax: Simple really, if they want to see support for the games and titles they love and enjoy they need to enter and compete. No sponsors are going to get on board for titles that are unsupported in the scene and bring no numbers. The developers also, in turn, won’t be supporting and offering custom servers to a scene that has no players or teams filling leagues. Remember, custom servers are for the competitive scene which is exactly what Acer is supporting.
Do you plan on expanding future Apex Legends leagues to console platforms?
Anthrax: Yes, we most certainly are.
Why should teams get involved?
Anthrax: Without trying to repeat myself, the only way any gaming scene is ever going to grow is if you take the time to join and support any and all locally run events. You don’t have to play to get a win. Sometimes you just have to play to have fun and just see where you fair in the local scene. It isn’t ideal not having custom servers but if we all move together in the same direction we can certainly help ensure that we get what we need to get to have the leagues we want to have.
Q&A Ends.
If you’re keen on competing then you better make haste. You can register directly on the Mettlestate website. At the time of writing, only seven teams have signed up and the top three get a piece of the prize pool. So don’t delay in signing up for a shot at some cash and, of course, some great local esports competition.
