After 2 years working on the #ALGS, I have taken the decision to leave EA. I’m super proud to have played a part in the growth of the league over the past few years, and excited to watch ALGS Year 4 as a fan. Thanks to all of the players, teams, and my colleagues for being great!

📷 @joebradyphoto And of course, a special shout out to my partner in crime from EE, @holbrookstace who killed it this weekend, and all year

With the #ALGS Year 3 Championship wrapped up, that’s the end of ALGS Year 3, and we definitely couldn’t have asked for a better end to the season. This also marks my second year with the @PlayApexEsports team at EA, and I’m so excited for Year 4, but for now, a family vacation..

@TheeTabris @clovisdelmotte @AnekoMerkki don’t lie to the man

@clovisdelmotte @AnekoMerkki Clovis you are the 🐐, I'm happy to hear you speak 😉

I'm really bad at making memes but here goes: See you next week ✈ #ALGS

@clovisdelmotte @AnekoMerkki be quiet

@AnekoMerkki he's already told me to "be quiet" twice and the event hasn't even started 😭

@hodsic @_minustempo @PlayApexEsports @HMGaming We shared this in the Pro League Discord earlier this month, but we actually won't be requiring coaches to stay seated at the Split 2 Playoffs, just within a (larger) marked area behind their team to avoid any competitive integrity concerns.

@_minustempo @PlayApexEsports @HMGaming They actually did a really good job with it last LAN. Even on the 2nd floor I couldn't see shit standing up. The rule was only made because of the first Sweden LAN and how obviously tiny the walls were back then.

Just got the @PlayApexEsports #ALGS Split 2 Playoffs handbook and all the rules and regulations are pretty much the same except for one thing ... @hodsic your dreams have come true! @HMGaming win. And of course everyone already knew all games are on the main stage now too.

@Proficiency_ @chris_pipher The 4 winners of each CC tournament in Split 2 qualify for the LCQ + an undetermined number of teams (all non-qualified Champs teams from the Pro League) qualify via points which we'll announce following the Split 2 Playoffs, and all remaining slots are filled by top CC teams.

@OfficialiiNK @Cutnoid @Falloutt The methodology being used is described in 3.3.3 in the Official Rules.

@Cutnoid @Falloutt How's the system even work for gaining and losing spots for the next event? Is there an actual rulebook and official breakdown of how they determine it? Or will it be typical EA and just do what they want when they want and explain later?

Here's @Falloutt talking about how the number of region slots for the next ALGS LAN may change based on how the region performs in playoffs

@coldjyn Got it. Well, if it’s a UI/UX or process issue rather than disagreeing with the rules, then I’d rather put our focus into making the process better for the players and coaches rather than changing the rules, so let me chat with the team.

@coldjyn For sure. Let’s chat once we’ve both recovered from the Playoffs, but definitely would like to hear your thoughts.

@coldjyn I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on how that would look. It’s my opinion that the team that participates in the Playoffs should be the team that qualified (assuming no emergencies or exigent circumstances) but curious to see how much flexibility you’d like to have?

@coldjyn With regards to those coaches, ultimately, they follow the same process as their players to join the roster and be recognised as a member of the team, but if they’re ever confused about the process, they should ask us.

@JosephRLynch @united @Heathrow Our conversation about this last night manifested an upgrade for you!

@coldjyn Do you share the same opinion about the roster lock for players? Do you think a team should be able change the roster so that it differs from the team that qualified?

That’s a wrap for the #ALGS Year 3 Split 1 Playoffs, thanks to all of the teams, staff, partners and fans for making it one to remember, and a special shout-out to all of the admins and the League Ops team for putting up with me!

@Exodus_txt Unfortunately, you attempted to join the roster on January 23rd, 2023, when the roster lock for your region took place on December 6th, 2022 which covers all coaches and players as covered in the rules.

I might not be allowed into the London LAN... please read - Read: twitlonger.com/show/n_1ss7uv7

@Exodus_txt @Sentinels The team you are referring to didn't make any roster changes for the Split 1 Playoffs.

@Daniel_J_Davis @Sentinels

Reminder that ALGS let an entire team slip past roster lock for LAN but not the Coach and CEO of one of the teams playing.

@Gnaske_Lone Top 20 teams advance to the Regional Finals, with the winner of the Regional Finals automatically qualifying for the Split 1 Playoffs, and the next 4 teams (ranked by points in regular season) also qualify. The RF award points like every other series (25, 21, 18, 16 etc).

With moist (#LetsGetWet) being in 5th place and Apac S having 5 slots what does that mean? Do they NEED 1st in the finals or is it points and if so is it the same points as regular format? Someone explain what it requires for Moist to qual, cause I don't get the format

@PVPX_ Sorry for the confusion, but the rules haven't changed, your coach can still be listed as a fourth player and act as a coach in matches that they're not playing in.

Previous Ruling: Coaches could be listed as a sub and still perform coaching duties of sitting behind teammates @ LAN and talking to them between game New Ruling: Coaches cannot sub. Subs/Extra Players cannot talk to players during the tournament

Expect to see lots of teams forced to play as a duo at multi-million $ Apex Legends LANS because EA has decided it's a good idea to deny Coaches the ability to emergency sub for their team 🔥👍
