The Apex Legends Global Series competitive gaming event is going big in 2021. EA has announced that the prize pool for the event is being increased from $1 million up to as much as $3 million this year. The publisher is adopting a DOTA 2-style crowdfunded prize pool model where people can buy bundles from the Apex Legends in-game store to increase the total prize pool of the ALGS Championship this year.

Every Mechameleon, Boarded to Death, Wild Speed, and Silverback bundle that users purchase will add $5 to the prize pool. Purchases of the Animal Kingdom bundle will add $20 to the pool. EA is capping the funds at $2 million, which could bring the prize pool to as much as $3 million when factoring in the $1 million that EA itself is putting in.
