Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment has released a series of in-game cosmetic items representing five of the 40 professional esports teams that will compete in this year’s Apex Legends Global Series tournament. The tournament kicks off tomorrow, and players can now rep their favorite teams via the cosmetics in the ALGS Team Shop.

The cosmetics were released alongside yesterday’s surprise Summer Sundown Flash Event, and can be found under the “featured” section of the in-game store. The ALGS teams receiving themed cosmetics are TSM, 100 Thieves, Crazy Raccoon, Cloud9, and NRG. The ALGS Team Shop contains one cosmetic bundle and one team-themed banner frame for each of the five competitors. All banner frames are universal and can be used with any Legend.

The announcement did not detail why these five teams were given special cosmetic items for sale. They are among the most popular and favored teams in the tournament, which could have played a part.

ALGS team banner frames

It is worth noting that the only official pro team cosmetics are the banner frames themselves–the cosmetic skins are not ALGS-exclusive and have been made available in the past via battle passes, Prime Gaming drops, or previous sales in the game’s store. Players who are solely interested in team-themed gear may wish to only purchase banner frames, but anyone interested in cosmetic skins will want to take a peek at the bundles.

The 2022 ALGS Championship will take place from July 7-10 in Raleigh, North Carolina. For more information on the teams taking part in the tournament, check out the official ALGS schedule.
