ImperialHal at the ALGS Riyadh
It’s fair to call him the GOAT of Apex Legends. ImperialHal is the only Apex Legends athlete to have a career winning of over $1 million.

His ALGS Split Playoffs finals heroics from 2023, where he carried his team through back-to-back third parties, earned him the tag of the best IGL. He is also known for being a true sportsman, as evident from his calls for not shooting an offline player during a match at the ALGS Championship 2022.
