An invite-only tournament kicking off on December 5, 2025, the Red Bull Legends Inn is an Apex Legends competition hosted by ImperialHal and iiTzTimmy. The esports stars will pick pro Apex players as team captains, who will build their duo following competitive online qualifiers.

For aspiring Apex players, the Red Bull Legends Inn offers an opportunity for dedicated fans to test their skills against hardened pros. In a total of nine rounds, unique challenges will present new obstacles for the strongest Apex Legends players.

Lights go dark after a loss

Players will compete for a chunk of the $25,000 prize pool at the Godfrey Hotel in Chicago, Illinois, with the 10 leading teams taking home a slice of the pie. The athletes will be put up in custom suites, along with another exciting twist!

A unique feature will set the Red Bull Legends Inn apart from past Apex competitions. Once a team is eliminated from a match, their suite’s lights will go completely dark. This mechanic creates a real-life scoreboard out of the Godfrey Hotel. If you’re an Apex fan, then this’ll be a great chance to experience something completely different from traditional esports tournaments.

With a unique ‘lights out’ format and a variety of fan-decided challenges, there’s a lot to like about the Red Bull Legends Inn. Reps and Verhulst took home the gold in 2024, so hopefully we’ll see just as much action at the Godfrey Hotel this December.

We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
