ALGS commissioner John Nelson answers ten quick questions about Year 2

For fans of competitive Apex Legends, last week's announcement about Year 2 of the Apex Legends Global Series certainly sparked some conversation. With the competition expanding to include new territories and Xbox and PlayStation console players, a new two-tiered format with LAN events thrown in, and a huge $5 million prize pool, there are big changes on the way.

Following the announcement, The Loadout spoke to the ALGS' commissioner, John Nelson, to learn more about the massive shakeup to Apex esports. During our conversation, we posed Nelson ten quick questions about Year 2 of the ALGS, focused on aspects that were either unclear or left out of the initial announcement post.

We've already learned that the ALGS wants its three LANs in Year 2 to be hosted across three different continents. So are there any other surprises Nelson has up his sleeve that fans may not yet be aware of?

Apex Legends decimates yet another map next season

Another season, another Apex Legends map getting an explosive facelift. Alright, so this time it doesn't involve actual human-made explosives - World's Edge's volcanic ground has simply had enough of being mined, so it's erupted leaving more lava fissures breaking through the map. We'll be able to explore the new terrain when the next season, Emergence, kicks off on August 3rd. Also, there's a new gun, the new character Seer, and (moving!!) gondolas.

Apex Legends Global Series plans to have LANs on "three different continents"

The Apex Legends Global Series set out its stall for its second year last week with a huge reveal that includes everything from a new format, to cross-play events, and a whopping $5 million prize pool. Arguably the most exciting part of the announcement, however, was the plan to return to LAN events.

With players and fans alike being starved of offline Apex action for almost two years now due to the effects of the pandemic, the news that international LANs could be making a comeback "should conditions allow" was well-received. For the competition's commissioner, John Nelson, the return to LAN is also the thing he is looking most forward to - especially as it presents the opportunity to turn Year 1's regional storylines into global ones.

"It's been really fun to see so many different countries represented by players and competing against each other, and that obviously goes up a notch when you go to a global event," Nelson tells The Loadout. "A lot of us in the community look back at the Preseason Invitational in September 2019 and think about all those teams that were on Match Point, going into the final game; teams from so many different places of the world. I'm so looking forward to experiencing that again."
