The first big event in the Apex Legends esports calendar is just weeks away as the ALGS Split 1 playoffs make their way to London. Here is everything you need to know about the tournament.
A whopping $1,000,000 prize pool will be up for grabs at the ALGS Split 1 playoffs, the first major event of the third season of the Apex Legends Global Series. The tournament will take place at the Copper Box Arena in London and will feature 40 teams from five regions and a live audience.

Each group will play each other in a 6-game series, for a total of 18 games for every team.
The top 20 teams will advance to the upper bracket for the first round of the bracket stage, while the bottom 20 will be seeded into the lower bracket. The top 10 teams from each side of the bracket will take part in the finals, a winner-take-all affair without a match limit. Once a team reaches 50 points, they become “match point eligible.” The first team to win a match after being “match point eligible” is declared the winner of the event. The rest of the field’s placement is decided by total points in the finals.
ALGS 2023 Split 1 playoffs: Teams and players
Forty teams have qualified for the ALGS Pro League Split 2 playoffs from five different regions. This includes 10 teams from each of the three major regions (North America, EMEA and APAC North) and five from both APAC South and South America.
While some big-names organization have pulled out of the esport, many smaller ones have entered the fray, signing free-agent teams that have qualified for this event. Some of the bigger names still around include TSM, NRG and 100 Thieves. One of the smaller organisations that have jumped into Apex esports is Iron Blood Gaming, who returned to the game by picking up the Chicken Sandwich lineup.
