I'm still baffled by level 1 champion squads...

Maybe my math isn't the best, but isn't it impossible to be at level 1 and have a win or finish high enough to be considered a champion? I know I've been champion before when I finish top three, but ...

I don't think that's true, man. I read somewhere on the Apex/EA site that the XP requirements starts low, and caps at 18K at lvl 58. I could be wrong, but I do remember it taking less XP when I was low level.

As for the lvl 1 thing, I'm pretty sure it's a visual glitch. When I was playing on the Switch, I noticed my level didn't always update right away, even after I leveled up. I've seen the same thing happen with the battle pass lvl badge as well, in previous seasons.

@JonStriker126 The 18k to 54k is true. But the same is at low lvls. It’s all how fast you do it each week. Every week at reset (tuesday or wednesday depending on your region) everybody’s base amount for lvl gainage is 18K. So a lvl 1 is obv gonna be at 18K because they haven’t lvled, but same for a lvl 499 whom hasn’t played since the reset.

It can def B a visual glitch, but my takeaway was more that a lvl 1 can be the actual champion of games (especially in bot or lower lvl games) :P
