Apex Legends Ranked mode is not for everybody, pushing players to their limits – and nothing exemplifies that more than this teammate who went viral on TikTok after pulling out all the stops.
Grinding Ranked has become quite the phenomenon since Season 10 started in the Apex Games, with big streamers like Dr Disrespect, NICKMERCS, and others eyeing up Apex Predator status.
The more wins you get and the better your team becomes, the faster you progress through the rank system in-game, and one player has found the ultimate strategy.

The ultimate sacrifice
What happens next secured Jinx legendary status, as he leapt down to where the enemy team was and starting popping shots with his Flatine. Soon after, the enemy squad approached him and teamed up to knock him down.
The distraction might have been a temporary thing, but his opponents all took their eyes off the ball thinking it was an ambush. Seconds later, the ring continued to close, wiping out Jinx (who basically become a sacrifice), and the remaining Apex Legends team.
