ALGS Championship groups revealed

Apex Legends esports is going from strength to strength, as evidenced by the success of the Winter Circuit Playoffs. While the scene has been growing consistently over the course of the first Apex Legends Global Series, broadcast viewing figures came to a head in the Winter Circuit.

Including player co-streams, the Winter Circuit Playoffs generated a cumulative 100,000 average minute audience, according to EA. This surpasses the previous most-watched ALGS tournament by over 50%. Most of these viewers appeared to be split between the official broadcast and Phillip 'ImperialHal' Dosen, and were likely enticed by the Championship stakes and the introduction of Twitch Drops that offered in-game cosmetics.

EA and Respawn have also revealed details about the ALGS Championship, including the full schedule and the finalised groups. As a reminder before we get into the nitty gritty of the groups, EMEA and NA regions will have four groups of ten teams, and APAC North, APAC South, and South America will have three groups of ten teams. Each group will play each other group twice in the case of EMEA and NA, and three times in the case of the remaining regions.
