Full details.
The Esports World Cup has released more details about their Apex Legends event. The Apex Legends tournament in Riyadh will have a $2,000,000 prize pool, will feature 40 teams and will be open for anyone to try and enter!
That makes this event the joint highest Apex Legends prize-pool ever, tied with the ALGS Championship events.
The event will use a different format to what we have seen at ALGS LAN events. The Apex Legends esports World Cup event will divide the 40 teams into two groups. Those teams will compete for a top 9 slot to qualify for the finals.
Then, teams who finished between 10th and 19th (meaning 20th place is eliminated early) will compete in a high stakes Last Chance Qualifier for the final two slots in the grand finals.
The event will run as follows:
Group Stage and Last Chance stages will be a whopping TEN games.
The Finals will use the Match Point format, with a threshold of 60 points, not the usual 50.
The Maps used will be Storm Point and Worlds Edge. However, games five and six in the Group Stage and Last Chance are marked as Viewer Selection in the Rule Book. It is not clear if that is a choice between Worlds Edge and Storm Point, or if fans could vote to add in one of Olympus, Broken Moon or Kings Canyon.
The Esports World Cup will be inviting the top eight teams from the recent ALGS Pro League across the four regions. For all regions besides North America, this will be the exact same teams that qualified for the ALGS Split 1 Playoffs.
North America has 12 slots for that event, meaning some teams will be forced into open qualifiers. This might cause some frustration with those teams, who didn’t realise qualification for this event was also on the line.
There will be open qualifiers for the teams who did not yet make it. These events will also be open to anyone who wishes to enter. Could YOU qualify for the event?
North America:
EMEA:
APAC North:
APAC South:
There will be five open qualifiers.
As well as the open qualifiers, there will be one Wildcard team.
