Phillip Doser, more famously known as Imperial Hal dominates Apex Legends for Team Solo Mid. His team clutched 5 major championships and top the favorites to win list in every event they enter.

TSM ImperialHal also tops the charts in terms of viewership on Twitch and for good reason. Many experts hail ImperialHal as the best all-around Apex Legends pro and In-Game Leaders (IGL).

While copying Imperial Hal’s PC setup, sensitivity, and key mappings won’t make you a pro overnight, you’ll know that you’re on the right path.

Let’s take a look at the preferred gear and settings of ImperialHal:

MONITOR

Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor Model AW2518Hf

In order to get maximum frames and minimal input delay, ImperalHal opts for AlienWare’s 25″ HD 240hs gaming monitor.

Even if you don’t have the latest graphics card, you should be able to pump decent frames at 1920x1080p.

The Alienware 25Hf shines as the portal into your FPS adventures with a gorgeous panel and outstanding mechanical design.

You can get one for a reasonable price. Do it, it will change your game!

 

PC

Lenovo Legion Desktop

Lenovo committed to Apex Legends big time by becoming their title sponsor. If you’ve ever watched the Apex Legends Online Global Series, you’ve certainly seen many ads for their Legion line of gaming desktops and laptops.

The legion 7i desktop model represents their eports tier offering from 2019. From Lenovo, you can expect a quality build, solid components, reasonable pricing, and good customer support. Lenovo mass produces pro-quality esports capable machines that can compete with much more expensive boutique gaming PCs.

GPU

NVIDIA RTX 3080TI

The NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti launched as a solid enthusiast-level gaming GPU in June of 2021, just behind the RTX 3090. The RTX 3080 is based on NVIDIAs 2nd generation architecture, Ampere. You can easily push over 200fps in Apex Legends at 1080p with this card on high-quality settings. ImperialHal leverages his superior frame rates to make insane flicks, lethal tracks, and disgusting spray transfers. At the highest levels of competition, if you don’t have the best gear, you’re at a disadvantage. Couple that with world-class game knowledge and mechanical skill, it’s no wonder ImperialHal’s team consistently places at the top. While this card retails for around $1500, they are currently easy to find.

Peripherals – Mouse

Logitech G903

 ImperialHal punishes the competition with his Logitech G903 wireless gaming mouse. TSM partnered with Logitech so it’s no surprise that Hal chooses their premium esports mouse. The Logitech G903 features an ambidextrous design, allowing gamers to swap out the thumb buttons to the opposite side for natural left-handed operation.

Peripherals – Keyboard

Logitech G Pro Mechanical

To match his mouse election, ImperialHal relies on his Logitech G Pro Mechanical keyboard to gain the upper hand on his adversaries. His choice is no doubt influenced by Logitech’s partnership with TSM, but this keyboard remains a solid choice for any aspiring esports pro.

Gaming Chair

Herman Miller Embody

In order to rise to the top of any esport, every pro spends hundreds of hours each year seated at their computer. Herman Miller’s reputation for making the best office chairs led many gamers to adopt them as gaming chairs. While expensive, these chairs allow pros to sit for extended periods of time at their computer without fatigue. Herman Miller collaborated with Logitech to create the Embody gaming chair which promotes better posture and better game performance due to the multiple adjustments available. This allows ImperialHal to stay focused during extended tournaments.

<Authors note: Having just purchased one of these, I must admit, it’s really sweet. If you have the means, I highly suggest picking one up. The Herman Miller Embody Gaming Chair arrived in a huge box, right to my door, fully assembled. It took me less than five minutes to extricate it from the packaging and set it up for gaming.. I mean, for work! Also, if you’re worried about being slightly over the ‘warrantied weight’ I can confirm it is handling an extra 20lbs no problem. Your butt and back will thank you. Consider it an investment. If you spend lots of time at your computer or desk, you’ll notice increased energy and focus immediately. It’s that good.>
