Right now, the official Apex Legends Twitter account has shared the streams schedule for their upcoming Creator Tournament Series and the situation got complicated really quick. The tweet mentioned that three streams would happen this week, October 25th with @SheIsBOOGIE, October 26th with @przsacredxrose and October 28th with @Ayy_TonyRomero. But just about at that time, players caught a mistake and pointed it out.
The whole thing started from the user @_KHEMical mentioning the date mix-up and asking “Sooooo…is Tony’s event on the 24th or the 28th????? Yall gotta get your dates in order 😭”. This resulted in a whole chain of the creators trying to figure out what’s going on. On the same day, @Ayy_TonyRomero put in his two cents that “24th Friday”, while @SheIsBOOGIE came back with “They may wanna redo the tweet if your date is wrong.” It’s one of those classic social media blunders that happen when you’re trying to promote multiple events at the same time, but there is no doubt that it had people puzzled.
On the flip side, the community’s response was… let’s just say the usual Apex Legends Twitter. The players were split with some, like @ObeezyLive, being excited who just wrote “Let’s goooooo” and @27Oniplayr who recognized “W @SheIsBOOGIE”. But there also emerged the complaints about the game’s nature – @BertaEh403 mourning “I’m so fucking tired of fighting fucking preds every game when I’m solo q’ing this dog shit fucking game” and @Chasenone1 screaming “why can’t open apex”. The server problems appear to be a recurring topic of conversation every time Apex makes an announcement of any kind.
However, the main argument was about something rather unexpected – people were criticizing @SheIsBOOGIE’s profile picture. A number of users referred to it as an “AI pfp” with @GiraffeInWindow straightforwardly commenting “AI PFP??? Gedafugouttahere” and @finnisnotspinny remarking “promoting the ai pfp person is crazy”. @SheIsBOOGIE defended herself by asserting, “I paid an artist to make it for me. Idk how it’s Ai But okay 👌🏽” and when asked why she was featured, she simply replied “Because I’m a baddie ✨”. The whole issue of AI profile pictures has been growing in the gaming community lately and it’s fascinating to see it emerge in the Apex scene.
A bit of personal drama got intertwined too when @DaCrazyKillaTay shared a lengthy rant about @SheIsBOOGIE being a “terrible person” and claiming that they can’t support Apex if they support creators like her. It’s amazing how a mere tournament announcement can lead to so many different talks at the same time.
The Creator Tournament Series is part of Respawn’s continuous attempts to showcase content creators of the Apex community. Usually, these streams are of the popular creators in competitive settings, often with custom tournaments or special rules. It serves to keep the community engaged in between major official tournaments and season updates. For the creators involved, it’s a colossal exposure by virtue of being promoted on the Apex Legends primary account.
When considering the bigger picture, this kind of community interaction is essential for live service games like Apex Legends. The game has been great for years now, and maintaining that relationship with players via creator spotlights and tournaments is a way to keep the momentum going. Even amid the date confusion and random issues popping up in the replies, it still indicates that people are passionate about the game.
The streams are still on, date confusion notwithstanding. @SheIsBOOGIE is the one to start the fun on October 25th, then it’s going to be @przsacredxrose’s turn on the 26th, and lastly @Ayy_TonyRomero will be the one to finish it all off (whether it’s the 24th or 28th, who even knows at this point). It’s going to be interesting to see whether the in-game problems that players are complaining about will affect the tournament streams or it will be smooth sailing for the creators.
Ultimately, this whole scenario is a pretty good reflection of modern gaming communities – the blend of hype with criticism, creator drama, technical complaints, and everyone having strong opinions about everything. The Apex community still ranks among the loudest in gaming and this tournament announcement, for better or worse, definitely stirred up the conversations. Whether you’re following the competitive action or just watching how everything unfolds after this messy rollout, it’s going to be an interesting week for Apex content for sure. The PlayStation and Xbox platforms will both be hosting these events.
