Reporting from 1 source: KAI-YOU.
Crazy Raccoon will hold Crazy Raccoon Cup Apex Legends #11 on October 4. The event returns about 3.5 years after the 10th edition, which was framed as the final one with the catchphrase "See you again someday." Owner CR. Ojiji mentioned the return on June 28, and a teaser video on September 6 revealed the date. Participants and rules await further announcements.
Participants at the 10th edition said it would be the last time Apex Legends appeared in the CR Cup. The 11th edition reverses that. Crazy Raccoon, the esports team run by Samurai Kobo, holds divisions across Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond, Street Fighter 6, and Overwatch, plus streamer and star divisions that include VTuber Karubi Akami, streamer Daruma Izu Goddo, and Ryosuke Yamada (LEO). The team held the offline event Crazy Raccoon Revive at Yokohama BUNTAI on September 5-6.
