The Apex Legends Global Series Year 5 Championship marks the peak of competitive Apex Legends. Held in Sapporo, Japan from January 15 to 18, the event brought together the world’s best Apex Legends teams for several days of relentless, high-stakes play—where focus, decision-making, and mechanical consistency are tested match after match.
At this level, performance is not defined by a single highlight clip or breakout match. It is defined by how well players hold their form across long hours on stage, under bright lights, with no margin for mental or physical drift. That environment made the Championship the right stage for the first on-stage competitive appearance of the Razer Iskur V2 NewGen.
Staying Locked In Across an Entire Championship
Apex Legends places unique physical and cognitive demands on players, especially in a live tournament setting. Matches stack quickly. Downtime is limited. Players are constantly adjusting to zone pulls, opponent positioning, and split-second calls—all while maintaining mechanical precision.
The real challenge is not whether a player can perform at their peak for one match. It is whether they can maintain that level of execution repeatedly, across multiple days, without posture fatigue or physical strain becoming a distraction. Over the course of a championship, those small factors add up.
That is the problem the Iskur V2 NewGen was designed to address: supporting sustained focus when endurance, not explosiveness, defines success.
From Ergonomics to Competitive Consistency
As the official gaming chair of the ALGS Year 5 Championship, the Razer Iskur V2 NewGen supported every player on stage throughout the event. Its HyperFlex Lumbar Support System is built to adapt naturally as players shift, maintaining lower-back alignment as players lean, reset, and reposition during long sessions.
The dual-density, cold-cured foam seat cushion balances pressure distribution with structural support, helping players remain stable and responsive over extended play. Gen-2 EPU leather with CoolTouch™ technology manages heat buildup under stage lighting, while the ultra-wide seat base and shoulder arches accommodate different playstyles and body types without restricting movement.
Together, these elements serve a single purpose: reducing physical distractions so players can stay focused on execution when it matters most.
Why Razer Belongs on Apex Legends’ Biggest Stage
The ALGS Championship represents Apex Legends at its most demanding. Razer’s presence at the event reinforces a clear position: our ergonomics are designed to perform under prolonged competitive play, not just short sessions.
The Championship also brought together several Team Razer-supported teams, including 100 Thieves, Alliance, Sentinels, and Shopify Rebellion. Seeing those teams compete on the same stage speaks to the level of preparation and professionalism that defines top-tier Apex Legends.
Our role is simple: to support players with equipment they can rely on through long days of competition, so focus stays on gameplay when consistency matters most.
What Fans Experienced on the Ground
Beyond the main stage, fans attending ALGS Year 5 were able to experience the Razer Iskur V2 NewGen firsthand at the Razer booth. Players from Team Razer teams also met with fans, offering a closer look at the people and preparation behind elite Apex competition.
For many attendees, it was a rare opportunity to connect the on-stage action with the preparation behind it, from long practice hours to the setups players rely on throughout a full tournament day.
A Competitive Debut That Matches the Stage
The ALGS Year 5 Championship was not simply a debut stage. It was a proving ground. Across multiple days of Tier-1 Apex Legends competition, the Razer Iskur V2 NewGen demonstrated its ability to support players in the conditions that matter most: long sessions, sustained pressure, and the need for consistent execution.
As competitive Apex Legends continues to evolve, our focus remains the same. We build equipment that performs when endurance defines success.
