The HER Galaxy Apex Legends tournament is starting today, featuring some of the most popular and talented female Apex players in the world.

After Nicholas “NICKMERCS” Kolcheff’s MFAM tournament caused a lot of controversy for having a lack of female players, the HER Galaxy tournament is here to provide more opportunities for women in the Apex Legends scene.

If you want to show some support, here’s how to tune in this weekend.

HER Galaxy Schedule

The HER Galaxy tournament begins Friday, April 28 at 5 PM PST. The HER Galaxy Open will then go on for three whole months, with top teams competing for the top prize of $100,000.

The HER Galaxy Apex Legends Open will start with more than 100 teams, each with three players. A lot of the teams are made up of talented and hopeful amateurs, but there are also top Apex Legends players that are known all around the globe. Some of the players to watch out for include:
