After a fully online but successful first full competitive cycle of the Apex Legends Global Series, EA has decided to seriously shake things up for Year 2. The ALGS will be reworked into a two-tiered competition for both established pros and amateurs trying to break into the scene, with two competitive splits, and an ALGS Championship in July 2022.
Year 2 of the ALGS will also boast a significantly bigger prize pool - a total of $5 million for the entire season, with $2 million of that allocated for the Championship. The ALGS also intends to host LAN events in 2022. Both the first and second split playoffs, and the ALGS Championship, will be played offline with 40 of the best teams from each region playing together. There's no word on how many spots each region will have at these events just yet. Potential locations for offline events have also not been revealed.
While the intention is to hold LAN events, EA says it will only do this "should conditions allow", so there are no guarantees.
