Destroyer2009 is going to become a massive case within gaming and esports.
I highly doubt EA and Respawn will allow this sort of security breach to go without some form of legal dispute when they are found.
Disrupting a multi-million dollar event is mad!

So,
@PlayApex
fans.
These started going out tonight...
The invites to the exclusive Random Royale.
Can't wait to help bring together some of the best in the community alongside
@ConvergentLive
and
@UTFTEsports
We strive to be the Kings of EMEA for Apex events.
Who wants in?
Thought:
The Toxic Royale.
60 of the most toxic, difficult to please people in the
@PlayApex
community. Random Royale style. Even the casters will turn up like their dog has just died moments before going live.
Let's celebrate the misery.

Women's Led Wednesday!
EU event! 7pm UK start - fortnightly.
Ladies, bring your teams!
Full women's teams get priority, otherwise a female captain.
Scrim, compete and win.
Apex coin prize monthly, cash prize quarterly.

@raven_apex
Half the crowd were emotional at you.
Seeing Darth Vader cry after sitting, shrouded in mist for days, was a great moment.
You earnt it, all of you.
Enjoy the win - and do it all again in the summer.
New invites will be going out to the Convergent Invitational later today.
This is a small cash prize event with Pathy in the limelight this time (every team must have him).
Next Wednesday 6th Dec 18:00. Win your Christmas bonus!
Honestly, I love running tournaments.
But the highlight is when people take the time to thank you for the experience, and the people they got to play with.
We'll keep doing it - if you keep enjoying it.
Thank you to everyone who viewed, played etc.
Next one - even bigger?
Seeing a lot of drama about
@playapex
TOs and prize money not clearing.
Not to blow our own trumpet but we pay on the night. Every time. Without fail. Sometimes minutes after stream closes. Winner details pending, of course.
Convergent don't list a prize if we don't have the $.
Might organise another
@PlayApex
tournament on Oct 7th.
Either a random royale, or a set comp/must have legend one where full teams can register.
It would be my birthday so I'd cast under the influence of ribena.

Been approached about helping run one, and it's a great idea to include people who wouldn't normally compete!
Fun fact -

- Paid teams (2), fuelling passion.

- A prod/staff team, across EMEA/NA.
- The most incredible support from the community.
Thank you, everyone.
#Convergent
Been a while since we've done a cash invitational
@playapex
event for EMEA.
This perk system could make for some really interesting non-meta games....
£500 seems like a reasonable number to start....
@Gnaske_Lone
@Verhulst
The entire family are the best fanclub as well.
Couldn't find any point to disagree on with this.
Big E is the final boss. The gigachad.
@sweetdreams
@PVPX_
Yeah, the event security were a little harsh.
Hopefully not your 'short term' security where I kept asking people to back up a few steps so you weren't mobbed, haha!
Creeping up on you like zombies.
Pleasure lads.
Our first EU, Women's Led Wednesday in the bag, and I knew it already, but the
@PlayApex
/
@PlayApexEsports
scene is holding some tremendous talent.
I can't wait to see what happens for the women's scene.
Big things happening and a lot of talent to fill the space.
👀👀
Very excited about some of the things we are doing as a small org, and how we can continue to elevate our own people - creating them opportunities and sharing the experience - as well as how to support the EMEA community.
Grateful is an understatement.
Hard work pays off.
For a casual player, I have to say, winning a game on the main
@PlayApex
stream in the UK Community Cup... that was pretty cool.
GGs to my teammates, playing off meta.
Mirage, Vantage and Ballistic.
@chriswaddell98
@Mackharo2
Kind of weird to be at ALGS and people recognise, "Mr Convergent", "Convergent" or just plain old Scott (and for people to ask if Cat was with me the times she wasn't!)
Lovely to meet so many people and I'm so, so gutted I ended up with no voice.
I'll make up for it at champs.
To all our players, creators and friends outside of Convergent - good luck in Challenger Circuit today.
Genuinely love cheering on the people we like, respect and care about. Even some we just observe from afar!
Weekend of Apex - locked in.
I've had an incredible time meeting and talking with so many people from the Apex Nordic community.
An honour to cast over you for 5 weeks!
Maybe see you again soon!
Good luck to all in PSQ today.
Remember, you've chosen a BR to compete in.
Consistency is the hardest thing to pull off in an RNG world.
Regardless of the results, or surprises, keep at it.
The
@playapex
community, is the best community.
Thank you again to everyone for making the tournament a fun experience yesterday.
Incredibly touched by the well wishes, the card wall, DMs, and so much more.
You don't realise how many people in the Apex community look up to you until they stop to say.
Thank you. Truly.
I could not be more proud of the team, playing their hearts out. I was told last year I'd made a mistake signing these guys. Believing in them. Never once listened to the doubters. We believed & still do!!
@chriswaddell98
@realQtxak
+
@mgr_agent
who has IGL'd us for a WEEK!
This was an amicable decision.
UTFT growing one way, us another.
There's no tea, and no drama. Just business.
P.S.
UTFT never owned us, contrary to some belief in the community that they did. Semantics, at the end of the day. Nothing to fret over which is why I never fussed.
Convergent are no longer exclusively partnered with UTFT. We wish them well, but we both felt we would be stronger apart, than together.
We'll still see each other in the Apex space - but for now, we go it alone and welcome new opportunities within EMEA and beyond.
All the best.
I'm so incredibly grateful for the people who are in our small org.
Passionate, talented and incredible people.
Very, very lucky to be at the helm of this with my co-owners/founders.
So, new year and all... we best plan some new events...!
Excited to announce that I'll be supporting backend on
@ApexRisingUp
with a little touch of observing. Helping bring the action to you!
An honour to be considered by
@Falloutt
and the team, given our passion for the space in EMEA with Convergent.
Apex Community = Best Community!
So proud of
@Minilax_
,
@Juliilax
and Misa for qualifying in the Gillette Labs Nordic Cup.
I got to watch my incredible woman qualify for an Apex LAN.
All women's team, to a LAN.
History in the making!

@ottrTweets
Playing Seer in pubs is a cardinal sin.
Playing him in ranked is a sweat.
Playing him in comp is just fighting fire with fire and mildly more acceptable.
Second wave invites are going out for the
@ConvergentLive

@UTFTesports
Random Royale Invitational.
First wave - today was the deadline - so your place is no longer available.
Any previous invitees can join a wait list.
Wave two confirms will be approved before 4th August.
Great fun tonight, assisting Juka and Andrew at
@HisandHersLive
The sheer amount of time and effort to balance the Plat/Diamond lobby for the Beer League must have been intense. Huge shout-out!
Oh, if anyone else ever wants to try casting
@PlayApex
, reach out. We host guests!
Cheese alert.
But,
@playapex
really is more than a game to me.
I've made great friends, close friends, people that have earnt a place in my heart, even.
And tonight I got to meet my co-caster and her husband.
She really lives up to the name
@Littlething__
!
Proud to come all the way to Sweden to support the ladies (
@Juliilax
and
@Minilax_
) for a big return game as it'll be Lisa's first game back from injury.
Discord watch party too,
@Littlething__
with warpaint on already.
These two ladies are cracked, watch them smoke kids.
Makes me very proud to be a part of the
@playapex
community when so many people turned out for our small charity
@gameblast
tournament.
Thanks to all involved, players, production, UTFT, Convergent.
Three tournaments this week alone! Tired, but raring to go for the next!
It was a tough job shortlisting so many excellent teams that were interested in what we could offer, but we are delighted to support the Vixens in the coming months.
Their dedication to improvement, and passion for the game really resonated with the Convergent team.
Welcome!!
So our big announcement last night was about a private Apex Legends Tournament in aid of charity. A real honour to get exclusive server access for a good cause.
July '22. Details to follow.
Prizes. Trophy.
Register interest in Discord/DM.
More to come!
When you realise how many of your teams, friends and more are competing in CCs, you can't help but think you've already made it.
Greatly appreciate every opportunity and friendship that has blossomed from being within the
@PlayApex
community.
#Convergent
Match Point tournament over!
Huge games, incredible plays, heart racing moments.
However, it's not over... UTFT and Convergent have a lot planned for the EMEA scene. Watch this space.
@PlayApex
at its finest.
Thank you for the caster love in chat!
I/We appreciate you so much!
Our 'Trios Trials' are a cash league but we are also going to be hosting another
@playapex
cash prize invitational soon, courtesy of a mysterious benefactor who wishes to remain anonymous.
They won't be for long!!
Keep eyes peeled on those DMs! This won't be a RR format!
With the announcement of re-signing the main roster, I figure it's also important to add that we are in a rolling contract with the
@vixensapex
and have no plans to stop supporting the ladies either.
We felt it appropriate to renew the lads alongside Gxnjy, purely to co-term.
People LFT/LF1/2:
You can't determine chemistry from one night of scrims....
So on that note, get your team's and trials together for some more
@UTFTesports
scrims. Daily.
Over 100 teams signed up today.
EMEA coming out in force!!
Very proud of the
@vixensapex

Sometimes you've got to have a few rough days to change the game plan.
These ladies work so hard - people don't see it.
And it's paying off.
Appreciate you ladies. Keep grinding.

A big shout out to all the ladies in the Convergent fold.
In order: Paige, Cat, Feebzz, Roe, Athena, Zona, Lei, Juli, Lisa, Nade, Pexi and Lav!
We appreciate everything you do, hope you continue to thrive in creator/gaming space and beyond.
Happy International Women's day!
@gdolphn
Pay no attention to the trolls.
Quite a heartfelt moment. You poured your heart out in front of thousands.
Surely that's more romantic than not!?

Just a note to say I am overwhelmed by the kindness people have shown team Convergent around events and the sheer volume of people offering to volunteer and support backend is huge. I genuinely can't get everyone in, at once, but will try over time.
Please chase me if I forget!
Shan't name names, that isn't fair.
But tonight, in our community, we had someone talk about a personal crisis around the 'S' word and it really made me reflect.
Please, I implore anyone who is suffering with extreme MH concerns, to seek professional support.
It sounds cold
Even the guys streaming or scrimming were staying tuned in and keeping tabs on the lads.
Very grateful to everyone involved, in whatever capacity.
I'm feeling fortunate to have so many good people around me.
Thank you to everyone who turned up to support the boys last night! Pure passion in this community❤️
See you all at PLQ this weekend😉

, solid consistency, but a DC gave me an abandon penalty so I open an Apex pack as I wait, and boom....
I have my Fuse heirloom!
Finally feeling a bit more human today.
I'll be getting back on the invite train soon for the invitational.
I really do appreciate the flurry of DMs I've received, but the truth is - we are severely limited on slots.
I could have run about 3-4 lobbies on requests alone!
Convergent Tournament in Dec, I said mid-cast, "if someone gets kills with Revenant, I'll get a
@PlayApex

(As the Seer meta sucks).
I'm a man of my word.
Seven and a half hours later, Revenant and 'A Gaze Eternal'.
It'll look great when it heals and softens!
We had our first
@PlayApex
tournament on the 23rd July 2022.
Today's solo league will mark the 100th event we have hosted, casted, supported, or ran production on - across EMEA, NA and APAC-S.
Not bad for less than one year!
@ConvergentLive
So, we have our two main teams:
Convergent
Vixens
...and now a content creator team, that will be playing under the old Resurgence banner.

What an incredible stream, and tournament tonight.
Love doing stuff with

Fantastic evening to everyone involved, playing or behind the scenes. I get such a buzz from it.
Thank you!
Irrespective of CC results, teams and players have to recognise that you can have a bad run of games. It's a guarantee in a BR.
The mental preparation and resilience is so telling between good mental teams, and bad.
Win as a team.
Lose as a team.
Keep grinding!

I'm so excited to see teams shift from the core 'meta' and to build truly unique comps that support individual team styles.
Very excited!

Turn up to a mystery cast that
@Paige_Suthy
and
@its_zonaaa
have been planning for weeks to learn that all captains are Convergent people (even the non-Apex ones!) as a thank you for everything we've done for them.
Thank you all,
@ConvergentLive
people.
Love you all!
Had a good relationship with Gxnjy, long before he even became a FA.
Happy to give him a home, and a place to compete.
Our guys have insane skills, just need to get them singing in unison now.
Next phase will be a new coach.
Let’s be honest, we all knew it was coming.

Apex/Convergent helped me find a lot of amazing people.
Cat, is one of them. She's not only a fellow gamer, but a fellow caster, friend and she's had my cooking!
When gaming goes beyond the game.
A friend for life and 100% deserving of the GameHer recognition!
It's time! Voting is officially open for the

Another trip to the airport and Starbucks surprised us.
They got it right. 'Scott' and 'Cat', not Soct and Cafrin.
Can't wait for LAN tomorrow. Absolutely buzzing!
She's energetic, swears a bit, plays competitively, and always very good fun to cast with.
Welcome aboard,

Hope we can help to elevate you as a creator, however you need us!

ALGS has been good.
Although, apologies to anyone who I've met, I'm really not myself; felt myself coming down with something and today, for finals, I've now lost my voice.
Have no choice but to see it through as I'm getting people home later.
I'll make up for it at champs.
Nicest guy in the space.
For LF1s/LFT:
Reach out to

Best six months, having these guys fly our flag.
Ideally looking for an IGL.
Today we say goodbye to

in a full time capacity as a change in personal circumstances will limit his competitive time.
He will remain our sub, with the blessing of his teammates, as he'll always be

Thank you for making these last six months great!
I'd love to do a
@PlayApex
tournament where we ban recon legends for the night.
Really put team communication and IGLing to the test. No wall hacks, no map room scan, no Seer, just effective use of abilities and teamwork.
Could people cope without the crutches of wallhacks?

Apologies to everyone who kindly followed the channel tonight, it's sometimes very difficult to catch it all in real time, mid-cast!
Thank you for continuing to support Convergent tournaments, with the UTFT Mind Charity event.
Congrats to 'The Process' on the win!
We have only one slot left for the Apex Resurgence women's tournament next week.... And we were about 75% full days after the scrim.
Overwhelmed with how quickly this one filled, and can't wait to see where this series can go.
Been in a great mood lately.
Lots of things happening.
Lots of things to smile about.
Very grateful to everyone involved, however large or small. Shaping up to be a good year already!
Got a cheeky pay rise today.
Certainly can't complain.
....that's not even the main reason why I'm smiling today either!
Lots of good things happening in 2023 so far.
Beyond grateful - especially after a few years of difficulty.
👀
Proud of the
@ConvergentLive
squad.
They played great Apex today, and the 'tactical wankery'/griefing to try and hold people out on seeding was on point.
All part of the game.
Nothing personal. GGs to all.
