The Telus Esports Series 2 is the second annual esports tournament ran by the popular Canadian telecommunications company. Originally, Esports Series 2 was only to feature 'Rocket League,' but the company recently announced a second game to add to the roster, 'Apex Legends.' Both games will have a number of available tournaments during the four-week-long esports series.
The Rocket League series is separated into four divisions based on skill level, ranging from casual players to competitive players, while the Apex Legends series is separated into two sections, a paid entry segment and a free entry group. The free entry group will be separated into the same four categories as Rocket League, ranging from casual to competitive.
Both games will share an $80,000 CAD prize pool, and will only be accessible for Canadians aged 15 and older.
