The competitive scene for games in the esports community likeApex Legendsoften brings in the most hardcore players from around the world to reach for being the best. This extends to players competing indivually, astop-billedApex Legendsteams, and ranking each region of players from different parts of the world against each other.

While it can often be difficult for fans to find hard data as clear as what developer Respawn Entertainment can offer, it is helpfull when developers like Lead Software Engineer Samy Duc respond to players online. In a recent Reddit post, Duc did just this by responding to an assumption made byApex Legendsfans as to which region around the world had the most competitive players, confirming the suspicions some had about one area in particular.

According to Duc, the region that has the most competitive players is the EU, due in large part to the number of teams across these countries that all reach for top-levels of skill. This both accounts for the general skill of these players and the fact that a large number of these teams in the EU are all within a very close level of skill, raising the entire region as a whole. As a result,dividing up theApex Legendsregionsacross the world gives a look which areas tend to be ahead of the game in strategy and skill, and who might have an edge in upcoming competitions.

This news also comes with comments from fans noting that EU tends to be ahead of the trend when it comes to breaking down themeta ofApex Legends' seasonsas they rollout. Considering how much meta factors into the highly competitive scene ofApex Legends, being the first to start practicing the new best weapons, team compositions, and landing zones gives a heavy advantage at the start of a season. So, other regions looking to take the top spot from the EU might want to jump across regions to see what new meta is evolving as Respawn Entertainment continues to update the game.

For the most part, this confirmation of the EU having the most competitive region appears to be mostly focused on teams, with a specific focus on esports competitors. At the moment, teams in the EU are more consistently playing, practicing, and evolving the best strategies and lifting more of the region’s most competitive teams up as a result. So, if another region wants to take the title, it’s less about individual players getting better, and more about making sure every team is aware of everynewApex Legendtechand strategy to bring more teams to the highest levels of play.
