The Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) is making a comeback in 2024 with some exciting format and regional changes. The fourth season will introduce a new region, the People’s Republic of China, while South America will no longer have a Pro League system. Instead, both China and South America will have guaranteed LAN spots, with China’s teams invited by the ALGS and South America’s teams qualifying through Challenger Circuit tournaments.
In addition, there will be more LAN spots for North America and APAC South, addressing a hot-button issue among Apex players and fans. APAC South, despite its strong performance in previous years, will now have eight guaranteed LAN qualification spots, the same as EMEA and APAC North. North America, known for its competitive depth, will have 12 LAN spots for the Split One Playoffs.
APAC South will also see an increase in Pro League prize money, with the prize pool for each split being raised to $125,000. This doubles the previous year’s prize pool and aligns it with other Pro League regions.
The dates and locations for the LAN competitions have yet to be confirmed, but the prize pools remain consistent. The Split One and Split Two Playoffs will have a $1 million pot each, while the ALGS Championship will feature a $2 million pool.
The Year Four Pro League Qualifiers will begin on November 25, 2023, and the competitive Apex season will officially kick off on January 20, 2024, with the first day of Pro League.
