Apex Legends Global Series: 2024 Championship is the most important tournament of the year for the Apex Legends professional scene. It is an event that gathers the strongest teams from around the world to determine the ultimate champion. With a prize pool of $2,000,000, the championship will be the culmination of the entire 2024 season and will complete the ALGS cycle.

Tournament format: a chance for everyone

ALGS: 2024 Championship has a complex but balanced structure that gives each team the opportunity to show their level.

1.Group stage (January 29-30):

• 40 teams are divided into 4 groups of 10.
• Each team will play 3 matches against the others in their group.
• After that, the top 20 teams will advance to the top bracket, and another 20 to the bottom.

2.Playoffs (January 31 - February 1):

• In the upper bracket, 10 teams will advance to the finals, and the rest will advance to the lower bracket.
• In the lower bracket, 10 more teams will have a chance to reach the final. Teams that fail to pass this stage will leave the tournament.

3.Final (February 2):

• Match Point format: to win, you need to score 50 points and win the final match.
• This format increases the tension, as teams must not only play consistently but also win the decisive match to become the champion.

The importance of the ALGS: 2024 Championship

This tournament is not just an opportunity for teams to earn big prizes. It is a competition that determines the best in the world, summarizing the results of the year. For players, it is a chance to cement their name in the history of esports, and for organizations, it is an opportunity to show that their investment in players is justified.

Tournament favorites

TSM

TSM is a legendary team that is a symbol of success in the Apex Legends world. They won the ALGS: 2023 Championship, defeating OpTic Gaming in the final, and regularly take prize places in tournaments. Their stability and years of experience make them the main favorite of the competition.

Fnatic

Fnatic is a powerhouse from the APAC North region. Their third place at the ALGS: 2024 Split 1 Playoffs proves that the team is in great shape. Thanks to talented players and a well-thought-out strategy, Fnatic can surprise even the most titled opponents.

Alliance

The European organization Alliance always demonstrates a competitive game. Their high results at the regional stages of ALGS, as well as the 1st place at the Esports World Cup 2024, indicate that the team is ready to fight for the championship.

Tournament outsiders

GoNext Esports

GoNext Esports is a team that had a difficult year. Their performances at major tournaments, such as ALGS: Split 2 Playoffs 2024, ended at the bottom of the table. There were some achievements at B and D tournaments, but this is not an indicator of success. Their chance of success in the championship looks ghostly. 

Disguised

Disguised found themselves in a difficult situation. A few days before the championship, they signed three new players from the Primis Komanda team: StrafingFlame, PlayerKay, arctic, and coach Nihil. The lack of chemistry in the team could be a decisive factor in their failure.

Dragons Esports

Dragons Esports has shown some local success, but lacks stability on the international level. Their 14th place at the Esports World Cup 2024 is their best achievement and their unstable play during the season indicates poor prospects at this tournament.

shadow3690

The team from APAC South has a number of preparation problems. Their 22nd place at the ALGS: Split 2 Playoffs was an example of the fact that the team is not ready to compete with the top players. It is important to note that even in regional tournaments, shadow3690 does not show outstanding results.

ALGS: 2024 Championship will not only be a competition between teams, but also a test of endurance and skill of each player. Will the favorites be able to confirm their status? Will we see surprises from outsiders? The audience is eagerly awaiting the start of this grand tournament, which promises to be the most exciting event of the year in the Apex Legends world.
