ALGS Midseason qualifications – who will attend the Esports World Cup?

The Apex Legends Global Series Regional Finals marked the end of the Split 1 Regular Season and solidified ALGS Midseason qualifications. 

Set to be held at the Esports World Cup, the ALGS Midseason Playoffs offers a $2,000,000 USD (~£1,475,000 GBP) prize pool and crucial Championship Points for later in the year. 

ALGS Midseason Qualifications by Region

The ALGS features four regional leagues: The Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), APAC-N (Asia/Pacific North, including Japan and South Korea), and APAC-S (Asia/Pacific South, including Australia and South/South East Asia). 

Each region has an individual competitive circuit. This regional circuit ends with the Regional Finals.

Pressure on teams during the Regional Finals can be immense. The finals are the last opportunity for rosters to accumulate points and climb the regional leaderboard before the next major tournament. 

For many, their qualification hopes can soar or die, all at the whim of their performance in the Regional Finals.

We didn't make it.

The impossible comeback did not become a reality. I know it was a long shot, but after last weekend, I was filled with so much hope. We had an amazing set of scrims this week which boosted moral and hope even more.

I'm absolutely devastated. At least if we…

Although many teams will miss the Esports World Cup and Midseason Playoffs, others stormed the competition to grab their ticket. 

The Americas 

With 16 total qualification slots available, the Americas has the highest regional representation in the ALGS. 

Due to their performance in the ALGS Open earlier this year, Falcons, Shopify Rebellion, and 100 Thieves automatically took the first three qualification slots.

As winners of the ALGS Open, Falcons are also one of the favourites to win at the Esports World Cup hosted Playoffs on UK betting sites.

ALGS Midseason Playoffs Groups: Pool 1 and Pool 2

The Midseason Playoffs will begin with a Group Stage. The 40 qualified teams are divided into two pools of 20. 

Each pool competes in 10 matches, accumulating points through kills and placement. The top seven teams by points in each pool advance directly to the Match Point Finals. 

The ten teams ranked 8th to 17th place from each pool in the Group Stage move forward to a Last Chance Semifinal. Here, they compete for the remaining six spots in the Match Point Final. 

Teams that finish the Group Stage in 18th to 20th place, or the Last Chance Semifinal in 7th to 20th place, are eliminated. 

Zac Conely, Lead League Ops Manager for Apex Legends Esports, released the Pool 1 and Pool 2 lists for the Group Stage.
