10 Best Apex Legends Players Of All Time

Apex Legends has become one of the most competitive and fast-paced battle royale games in the world, giving rise to an elite group of players who’ve pushed the limits of skill, strategy, and mechanical mastery. From early tournament champions to modern-day fragging machines, these players have consistently dominated lobbies, set records, and redefined what it means to be the best. In this article, we’ll highlight the 10 best Apex Legends players of all time — legends who’ve left a permanent mark on the game’s competitive history.

#10: YukaF

At number ten, we have YukaF, the in-game leader of Fnatic from the APAC-N region, and one of the flashiest, most mechanically gifted players Apex Legends has ever seen. Known for his unmatched movement and pinpoint aim, YukaF thrives in chaotic skirmishes where most would falter. While many pros opt for safer, more grounded play, YukaF leans fully into advanced techniques like wall jumps, slide boosts, and aerial strafes to outmaneuver and overwhelm opponents. These aren’t just flashy tricks either—they’re core to his success. At the Split Two Playoffs, his skill consistently helped Fnatic clutch teamfights and turn losing battles into highlight-reel victories. As the face of one of APAC-N’s top-performing teams, YukaF’s creativity, precision, and confidence under pressure earn him a well-deserved place among the all-time greats in Apex Legends.

#9: Artinn1

At number nine, we have Artinn1, one of the standout stars of the EMEA region and a key piece of Fire Beavers’ dominance on the international stage. Known for his laser-sharp aim and icy composure, Artinn1 plays with a level of consistency that makes him a nightmare to face in any lobby. Whether he’s anchoring a defensive position or leading an aggressive push, he does it with flawless precision and timing.

During the ALGS Split 1 Playoffs and beyond, Artinn1 proved he could go toe-to-toe with the best fraggers in the world, often outgunning even the most seasoned veterans. He doesn’t rely on flash or gimmicks—his strength lies in clean execution, smart rotations, and the ability to capitalize on every opening his team creates. His clutch potential, strong game sense, and refined mechanics have cemented his name as one of the most reliable and dangerous players Apex has ever seen.

#8: Vein

Coming in at number eight is Nicholas “Vein” Hobbs, one of the fastest-rising stars in the Apex Legends competitive scene. Vein’s recent run with Oxygen Esports at the Split Two Playoffs solidified his status as a top-tier IGL, guiding his team to an impressive third-place finish—only falling short to titans like DarkZero and TSM. His gameplay strikes a perfect balance between calculated aggression and patient survival, often pulling off clutch plays when it matters most.

Vein isn’t new to success. He made his mark early on with Kungarna, securing one of the first Apex Championship titles back in 2021. Since then, he’s steadily climbed the ranks, putting in work on teams like BR Demonz and GLYTCH Energy before settling into his current leadership role at Oxygen. His ability to adapt, lead, and perform under pressure makes him one of the most improved and dangerous players in recent years. With Oxygen locked in for the Championship, Vein is poised to prove that his recent dominance is just the beginning.

#7: Prycyy

Coming in at number seven is Dylan “Prycyy” Price, one of Australia’s most promising Apex Legends talents. Currently competing with Divine, Prycyy first rose to international recognition during his time with Moist Esports—a team backed by popular creators MoistCr1TiKaL and Ludwig. Under their banner, Prycyy consistently delivered strong performances, frequently finishing in the top 10 across various high-stakes tournaments.

What makes Prycyy stand out isn’t just his consistency, but his unique ability to blend support with aggression. As a player who often mains healers, he still manages to dive headfirst into fights, making clutch plays while keeping his squad alive. This balance of utility and pressure has made him a key asset on any roster he’s part of.

While his professional Apex journey is still unfolding, Prycyy has already proven he has the talent and discipline to compete with the best. With his eyes locked on future international titles, he’s set to elevate both his name and the APAC-S region to new heights.

#6: Genburten

At number six, we have the controller king himself—Genburten. Widely recognized for his insane thumbstick precision and aggressive gameplay, the Australian standout has proven time and time again why he’s one of Apex Legends’ most feared players. Fresh off an ALGS Championship victory, Genburten silenced any remaining doubts by leading his team in kills during the grand finals and showing up when it mattered most.

While he was sidelined during the Split Two Playoffs last year, his return at the Championship reminded the world that DarkZero’s success is deeply tied to his presence. Known for his snap aim and flawless tracking, he’s built a reputation for being nearly untouchable in close-range controller duels. Critics have long speculated about his gear, but his dominant LAN performance put all rumors to rest—Genburten’s skills are 100% legit.

With DarkZero continuing to shine in NA and Genburten back in top form, he remains one of the most electrifying and consistent threats in the Apex pro scene.

#5: Zer0

Coming in at number five is none other than Zer0—the mastermind behind DarkZero’s dominance. As one of the most accomplished in-game leaders in Apex Legends history, Zer0’s leadership has proven successful across multiple teams, regions, and metas. He first made waves by winning the Oceanic qualifier in 2021 with EXO Clan, then carried Reignite to victory in the APAC-S Pro League and Split Two Playoffs in 2022, and finally conquered the global stage by leading DarkZero to an ALGS Championship and another Split Two Playoffs title in North America.

What sets Zer0 apart isn’t flashy mechanics—it’s his unmatched game sense and elite decision-making. From flawless ring rotations to perfectly timed engagements, Zer0 consistently puts his team in winning positions. He’s the blueprint for what it means to be an Apex IGL, turning solid squads into tournament favorites. With DarkZero always in contention and Zer0 pulling the strings, he’s a tactical genius every aspiring player can learn from.

#4: Gnaske

Gnaske has long been one of the most respected and consistent IGLs in the Apex Legends scene, known not just for his elite in-game leadership but also for his calm, uplifting presence both on and off the stage. His breakout moment came with GMT Esports, where he impressively led the squad to a 5th place finish at the 2022 ALGS Championship—even while playing with a last-minute sub, proving his ability to adapt under pressure.

Now with Pioneers, Gnaske continues to elevate his teams. He guided them to a personal best 3rd place in the EMEA Pro League and followed that up with a strong 6th-place finish at the Split Two Playoffs—EMEA’s top result at the event. As one of the most battle-tested and mentally composed leaders in the game, Gnaske has his sights set on something EMEA has yet to achieve: a LAN championship title. And if anyone can make that happen, it’s him.

#3: Ras

Ras is a true Apex Legends legend—one of the game’s original mechanical prodigies and the face of Crazy Raccoon. Known for his jaw-dropping aim, slick movement, and fearless plays, Ras has consistently dominated APAC-N and earned his spot at nearly every international LAN since the ALGS began. While Crazy Raccoon has struggled to deliver big results on the global stage, Ras has always been the standout performer, carrying his team through tough matchups and maintaining their status as a regional powerhouse.

Despite a rough year three with two disappointing 35th-place LAN finishes, Ras showed his resilience once again by leading Crazy Raccoon to a clutch win in the APAC-N Last Chance Qualifier, locking in their spot for the Championship with a commanding round eight victory. With no expectations and plenty to prove, Ras and Crazy Raccoon head into the Championship as true wildcards—and if history tells us anything, Ras thrives when the odds are against him.

#2: ImperialHal

ImperialHal has become synonymous with Apex Legends esports. As the face of TSM and one of the longest-standing leaders in the competitive scene, Hal has proven time and again that he’s built different. Whether he’s calling the shots or topping the kill leaderboard, Hal’s consistency and intensity keep TSM in the conversation no matter the season or the meta. Through countless roster changes and shifting team dynamics, his leadership has never wavered.

While TSM faced serious struggles during the Split Two Pro League—barely making it to LAN—Hal rallied the squad for a massive comeback. They went from nearly missing out to placing second at the Split Two Playoffs, nearly defending their title in one of the most impressive turnarounds of the year. ImperialHal isn’t just a top-tier IGL—he’s a competitive Apex icon whose presence alone changes the tone of every match he enters.

#1: Verhulst

Evan “Verhulst” is the perfect embodiment of raw mechanical talent and team synergy, quickly rising through the ranks to become one of the most complete players Apex Legends has ever seen. Joining TSM in late 2021, Verhulst immediately proved he could match the intensity and skill of the game’s best, forming an unstoppable trio alongside ImperialHal and Reps. His pinpoint accuracy, calm under pressure, and ability to clutch in chaotic endgames have been key to TSM’s success on the international stage.

What sets Verhulst apart isn’t just his technical skills—it’s his composure, communication, and game sense far beyond his years. Whether he’s anchoring fights or flexing between roles, Verhulst adapts flawlessly to any situation. With multiple top finishes and championships already under his belt, he’s become the backbone of TSM’s consistency and their most valuable asset. At just 21, Verhulst isn’t just the best Apex Legends player right now—he’s shaping up to be one of the greatest of all time.

Conclusion

From Verhulst’s dominating presence with TSM to YukaF’s flashy mechanical outplays, each of these ten legends has left a major mark on the Apex competitive scene. Whether it’s leading teams to championship wins, pulling off impossible clutches, or redefining roles in the meta, these players have proven themselves at the highest level. As Apex Legends esports continues to grow, these names will remain etched in its history—and with many still competing, the best may be yet to come.
