If you’ve never heard of Falloutt, Jon Kefaloukos, aka Falloutt, is the life of the party when it comes to shoutcasting for the Apex Legends Global Series! Even if you’re not an avid follower of the Apex Legends esports scene, there’s a good chance you’ll become a fan watching him shoutcast (I know I did when I first saw VikkiKitty). With his charisma and infectious energy, he’s the kind of person who can make any game exciting and entertaining to watch.

On the 17th of February 2023, Falloutt posted the image below showing a critical analysis of the current competitive ecosystem pyramid in Apex Legends.

Falloutt talks about the large gap that is unexplored between casual players and pros. It is without a doubt that game publishers will spend all their resources and time to maximize the lowest part of the pyramid, which is the casual players since that is the biggest part of their player base.

There is always a HUGE downtime after Challenger Circuit ends and aspiring pro players have nowhere to grind but ranked, and we all know Apex Legends ranked is… well, it’s something… And imagine, all these aspiring players, watching ALGS, getting pumped and motivated to only have ranked to play. Many players have repeatedly asked for a more community-based competitive scene outside of the main event ALGS circuit series, and that’s what we’re about to get! So, let’s talk about –

APEX RISING
