New Rosters in Apex Legends?
With lots of previous experience in the battle royale game mode, the team looks like a strong competitor in the Apex Legends scene. However, with a dwindling viewer base on Twitch, one can only wonder why teams are still signing Apex Legends rosters. Respawn Entertainment has not yet released an official announcement about an esports league.
The game surpassed records in viewership and player base quickly upon release. Many in the community viewed Apex Legends as the next big battle royale game, one providing a different playstyle alongside Fortnite. Apex hit 25 million downloads in the first week and 50M players in the first month.
Once at least in the top three on Twitch, it now barely holds a 30,000 – 35,000 viewership count. Five to six streamers who range between 1,000 – 4,000 viewers each support more than half of the viewer base. Some have credited this drop in players to the lack of fresh content, the fact that the game is filled with bugs, a plethora of hackers, or Fortnite’s large prize pool tournaments.
