A new Apex Legends Code Red tournament hosted by Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm and BOOM.TV is taking place today on Twitch at 3pm CT. Several big Apex streamers and professional players have qualified and been invited to the tournament.
This edition of the Apex Code Red tournament will still feature a scoring system based on each team’s performance in public games since the organizers were unable to get a custom server to host the tournament.
Check out the full rules of today’s Apex Code Red tournament, its scoring system and prize distribution, and how to watch it.
Teams and brackets
Eight squads of three players each are participating in the tournament. They’ll face each other in a double-elimination bracket, which means a team is only out of the tournament when it loses two matchups.
The most well-known players to participate in today’s Apex Code Red tournament include the host, DrDisrespect, star League of Legend streamers Michael “Imaqtpie” Santana and Marcus “Dyrus” Hill, and Twitch personalities Josh “JoshOG” Beaver and Félix “xQc” Lengyel.
