NAVI Apex Legends pro Oleksander ‘Sanya’ Bokuchava is going to play his EMEA ALGS matches from a hospital due to the power cuts in Ukraine.

Apex Legends’ ALGS pits the best players from around the world against each other and allows them to compete for huge amounts of money.

For the majority of pros, their main focus between matches is developing new strategies and improving their skills in the Outlands.

However, for members of Ukrainian esports organization NAVI, there are extremely difficult challenges outside of the game that they’re facing on account of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
