Apex Legends does not have the same decade-plus world championship history as some other esports, but it already has enough eras to build a serious legacy ranking. The regional championship era, the first LAN title runs, the DarkZero and TSM stretches, the GoNext upset, and the recent Oblivion breakthrough have all given the game real historical shape. To sort that history into something usable, esportshistory.org can use the Hallmark GOAT Score, a standardized legacy metric designed to compare champions across eras and across games.
To even appear on this Apex Legends list, a player has to clear the same gatekeeper the Hallmark system uses everywhere else: at least one World Championship. After that, the score weights world titles, S Tier results, A Tier results, and a smaller Other Accolades category into one number. In Hallmark terms, World Championships are the spine of the résumé, majors separate the elite, regionals measure sustained excellence, and awards help break close careers.
Below is the current Apex Legends top ten, ranked by Hallmark GOAT Score. Because Apex’s championship history is still comparatively young, the spread between players is tighter than in older esports. That means the top of this list can still move fast over the next few seasons.
1. ImperialHal (Hallmark GOAT Score: 26.2)
Phillip “ImperialHal” Dosen sits at number one because his résumé is the most complete Apex has produced so far. He clears the world-title requirement with TSM’s 2023 championship and then separates himself everywhere else that matters: four S Tier first-place finishes, three S Tier runner-up finishes, eight A Tier wins, and the biggest Other Accolades total in the sheet.
That combination matters more in Apex than it would in a longer-running esport. No player has stacked multiple world titles yet, so volume at the top of the scene becomes the difference-maker. ImperialHal’s profile is not just a peak case or a longevity case. It is both at once, which is exactly what the Hallmark formula is built to reward.
2. Zer0 (Hallmark GOAT Score: 20.3)
Rhys “Zer0” Perry owns one of the cleanest international cases in Apex history. He won the 2022 ALGS Championship with DarkZero and built on that with one of the strongest non-world title résumés on the board, including three S Tier wins, two S Tier runner-up finishes, and six A Tier first-place finishes.
What makes his score feel right is efficiency. Zer0 does not need the same mountain of placements as ImperialHal because his biggest results come at the highest levels. In a game where shot-calling and endgame decision-making can decide entire eras, his record reads like the résumé of a player who repeatedly turned elite lobbies into winnable finals.
3. Reps (Hallmark GOAT Score: 19.0)
Jordan “Reps” Wolfe lands third and gives Apex a reminder that all-time lists are not only about the loudest stars. His score is built on the same TSM world championship that anchors ImperialHal’s case, but it also stands on its own through three S Tier titles, six A Tier wins, and a long line of deep finishes that show just how durable his place at the top has been.
The biggest difference between Reps and the top two names is longevity. He does not get the same statistical bump there, which is why he trails ImperialHal and Zer0. But by raw résumé strength, he remains firmly in the top tier of Apex history and one of the clearest examples of championship-level consistency.
4. Verhulst (Hallmark GOAT Score: 14.2)
Evan “Verhulst” Verhulst already ranks fourth, which says a lot about how quickly a concentrated run of elite results can matter in Apex. He has one world title, one S Tier win, one S Tier runner-up finish, two S Tier top-four finishes, and five A Tier wins. That is not a decade-long résumé. It is a high-efficiency résumé.
The Hallmark formula likes players who convert shorter windows into real top-end placements, and Verhulst has done exactly that. His score also has room to grow, because Apex’s modern LAN structure gives active stars more chances to add major results. He could make his case way stronger with one more title or some top major finishes.
5. Genburten (Hallmark GOAT Score: 14.0)
Noyan “Genburten” Ozkose sits right behind Verhulst and feels like one of the strongest examples of how Other Accolades can separate similar careers. His spreadsheet profile shows one world title, one S Tier win, two S Tier runner-up finishes, four A Tier wins, and a massive OA total of eight.
That OA bump makes sense in context. Genburten has long carried the aura of a player whose individual ceiling stands out even in elite company, and the formula reflects that without allowing awards to overpower the rest of the résumé. The result is a score that keeps him inside the top five even though his total trophy stack is a little slimmer than the names above him.
6. FunFPS (Hallmark GOAT Score: 8.6)
Brandon “FunFPS” Groombridge breaks into sixth on the strength of a fresh world-title spike. His overall résumé is still lighter than the players above him, but one championship, one S Tier runner-up finish, two S Tier top-four finishes, and a handful of supporting regional results are already enough to vault him well clear of the lower tier of champions.
That is exactly what the Hallmark system is supposed to do. Winning the biggest tournament in the game should dramatically change a legacy conversation. FunFPS does not yet have the long body of work to challenge the top five, but he now has the one credential every future GOAT push must begin with.
7. Sharky (Hallmark GOAT Score: 8.0)
Rick “Sharky” Wirth comes in seventh as another member of the 2022 world-title tier. His résumé is more modest on volume than Zer0 or Genburten, but it still carries one world title, one S Tier win, multiple A Tier placements, and enough depth to stay comfortably inside the top ten.
The score reads like that of a player who was essential to a championship era even if he did not pile up the same number of later placements. In Apex, that still matters a lot. The game’s shorter history means even one true world-title run can keep a player relevant in the all-time conversation for a long time.
8. Uxako (Hallmark GOAT Score: 5.5)
José “Uxako” Llosa cracks the top eight on a very different kind of résumé. His score is not built on a broad trophy cabinet. It is built on a world championship with GoNext and a huge Other Accolades number that helps separate him from the rest of the single-title cluster near the bottom of the list.
That makes him one of the most interesting cases in the ranking. Uxako’s profile shows how a championship upset run can still carry historical weight even before the rest of a career fully fills in. He is not close to the top tier yet, but he has already done the one thing the Hallmark system refuses to compromise on: win it all.
9. Monsoon (Hallmark GOAT Score: 5.3)
Bowen “Monsoon” Fuller slides into ninth after the 2026 championship put him over the eligibility line and immediately into the global top ten. His raw score is still small by comparison with the Apex heavyweights, but one world title plus a few additional regional placements are enough to put him ahead of several other one-time champions.
More importantly, his score looks unfinished in the best way even with his age in the esports. Monsoon now has the hardest piece of the résumé secured, and every future S Tier or A Tier result will build on that foundation. In a young esport, that is how players jump tiers fast.
10. Hiarka (Hallmark GOAT Score: 4.7)
Filipe “Hiarka” Morgado closes the list at tenth. Like Uxako, his case is anchored by GoNext’s world championship run, but the rest of his spreadsheet is slimmer, with no extra S Tier wins and only a limited set of A Tier placements. That leaves him just ahead of the final honorable mentions.
Even so, making the list at all matters.
Honorable Mentions
zhidan — (Hallmark GOAT Score: 4.6)
Blinkzr — (Hallmark GOAT Score: 4.1)
Author Note: Apex’s honorable mentions are especially interesting because the esport is still compact enough for one title run to transform a career overnight. Blinkzr already has a world title and a major reputation boost, while zhidan barely misses the ten spot despite being part of the same championship core as Uxako and Hiarka. This is probably the easiest all-time list on the site to climb in the next two years, because Apex still has so much history left to write.
