TSM just won the big championship in Apex Legends for 2023. They played really well and won three games in a row in the final match, which was amazing. This is a really special moment for TSM because they’ve been working hard all year to be the best in the world at Apex Legends.

One person on the team, ImperialHal, is now considered the best Apex player. People used to argue about whether he or someone else named Zer0 was the best, but now most people think ImperialHal is the greatest for now.
Hal said something meaningful after winning the championship: “I had a dream of being the best player in the world, and I wanted to win while my family was watching. I’ve achieved both of those dreams.”

Hal was extremely happy to win in front of his family, but the victory meant a lot to the whole team, including their coach Raven, Evan Verhulst, and Hal’s long-time teammate Reps. Hal and Reps had previously won the very first ALGS LAN together back in 2019, and now they are world champions once again.
TSM’s victory was not guaranteed, as they didn’t perform well in the first three matches of the day and were behind in points. OpTic Gaming came close to winning the championship in the fourth match but was stopped by NRG in a tense three-vs-three battle.
However, TSM managed to turn things around with victories in games four, five, and six, putting them on the path to success. They sealed their victory with another win in game seven at their chosen landing area, The Wall. This win put them in a position to become champions and prevented other teams like OpTic, BLVKHVND, FaZe Clan, LG Chivas, and more from securing the championship.

In their final move, TSM won important battles near Thunder Watch, securing a strong position in the last zone. This victory was strikingly similar to their previous win at the Split One Playoffs earlier in the year.
Overall, the tournament showcased outstanding performance from North America and APAC South, with these two regions dominating the final rankings. OpTic secured the second-place position, while iiTzTimmy’s team, The Dojo, led a trio of North American teams in fourth, fifth, and sixth place, with LG Chivas and FaZe right behind them. For APAC South, BLVKHVND earned a well-deserved third place for their consistent performance throughout the weekend, while DreamFire, a popular team, finished seventh, and the Thai trio IronBloodGaming claimed the tenth spot.
Pioneers represented the EMEA region and were the only team from that region to make it into the top 10, securing eighth place. Realize represented APAC North and finished ninth. South America’s SAF Esports, the sole team from their region in the finals, ended up in 14th place.
However, the standout story is TSM. They are the main characters in the Apex Legends scene once again, ready to face new challenges as champions.
