Monarch Apex Legends Celebrity Cup details
A total of 20 teams will compete in the Monarch Apex Legends Celebrity Cup. Two of these teams feature the celebrities, Das Kapital and Rob Forbes who you might have heard on 5FM. Team Kapital and Team Forbes will pair up with "some of South Africa's top players to prove that they are the Apex predators."
At the time of writing, we don't know exactly which top players will be part of Team Kapital and Team Forbes. The Monarch Apex Legends Celebrity Cup is only open to South African teams, with a minimum ping requirement of 100ms. You can register on the cup's Toornament page. While registration is free, there's a prize pool of R2,500 up for grabs.
