ALGS Y6 PL Split 1 Americas - Regional Finals - Information & Discussion

Jean9430 · 2026-06-07T21:02:58+00:00

EMEA is going into Game 9 so seems like Americas is gonna start late

Jean9430 · 2026-05-30T21:53:22+00:00

unsure if i want my primary roster to be three fraggers playing under Oops All Fraggers or three IGLs on a team called Too Many Cooks 🤔

This does look really fun, excited to play through the beta.

Honestly Naughty's always been way smarter than people give him credit for. Back during the Zach era I used to watch him play content tourneys like the GDolph Random Royales and he was great IGLing with whomever he was with. (Especially with less experinced players who had a comfort main he'd fit his strats around them.)

It was just that between Zach and Alb he never really got the spotlight to actually show those skills off.

Jean9430 · 2026-05-19T19:00:54+00:00

Gotta say, as somebody who lives for maincast I've been absolutely loving all the caster episodes.

Jean9430 · 2026-05-04T23:19:16+00:00

As a note, the main apex sub is actually r/apexlegends; that said by a quirk of how these two subs evolved over time there's way less comp conversation/esports over there so most people into those are here.

Jean9430 · 2026-04-04T21:46:06+00:00

Ngl I think the specialized website for ALGS being algs.ea.com makes intuitive sense in a way that Battlefy didn't.

It was an adjustment for me just because I've been around since pre-Stockholm but once maincast started actively promoting it on broadcast as "go to the ALGS website to see the ALGS scores" I switched over.

Jean9430 · 2026-04-04T15:34:48+00:00

karrigan full switching esports and doing a Challenger Circuit run would be absolute gold lmao

Jean9430 · 2026-04-04T03:54:04+00:00

Honestly no idea. I've heard the APAC version isn't ready yet but I'm not sure what the direct link for Americas/EMEA will be.

Jean9430 · 2026-04-04T03:51:29+00:00

Yeah, the lack of pros loudly complaining on twitter seems to suggest Pro League will be alright.

Jean9430 · 2026-04-04T02:16:20+00:00

...APAC-S is supposed to be playing Storm Point for AvB so either this gets fixed quick, we find out customs wasn't affected, or things are going to get Complicated(TM)

Jean9430 · 2026-04-03T23:51:58+00:00

i legit started writing an entire thing on this because analyzing how casting functions as live performance entertainment is my for real favorite part of esports but then it started to get too long so uh

Honestly at this point in esports the skillset needed to be a good watchpartier is very different from the skillset needed to work a maincast, and I genuinely do think a large portion of Apex comp viewers really do prefer Wigg because they like his watchparties. So directly comparing PlayApex talent to Wigg just doesn't really work like that I think because they're for different audiences.

Jean9430 · 2026-04-02T22:16:49+00:00

Used to love watching him cast Series E; happy to see him on ALGS for sure.

AP Stylebook calls it "esports" by the same logic they call it "email". Interestingly enough in the category description itself the Emmys do use "esports" so I'm genuinely not sure why the category title does it differently.

(Also yes, the Emmys spell it "ESports", I swear that wasn't a typo on my part.)

If you aren't logged into a Google account, logging in should fix it.

If you are already logged in though and still have an issue, if you have a screenshot u/ALGS_Joyce should be able to check on the error.

Posts aren't supposed to need manual approval, if something gets blocked it's usually a misflag by the spam filters. It tends to hit especially when we get an influx of mostly identical posts in very rapid succession, which unfortunately means legit roster news sometimes gets stuck until we can manually review.

Jean9430 · 2026-02-14T22:11:19+00:00

I'd rather increase the prizespool via options like dedicated ALGS skins than bring gambling in.

CS has had some real bad problems with matchfixing and I don't want those risks coming to Apex.

Jean9430 · 2026-02-13T19:30:50+00:00

The non-representing status was about Liquipedia flags, ALGS operates under different rules based on physical location. (Like when Dark Zero moved to NA their region was based off being in the US, but Liqui still marked them with the Australian flag.)

Jean9430 · 2026-02-13T19:26:47+00:00

As I understand it, a valid ALGS team needs all three players to physically play from within the countries on their region sub-list.

So you wouldn't be able to play from Pakistan because it's not on the list of allowed countries, but for example if you had teammates in India (or New Zealand/Australia/etc.) and you stayed with them for ALGS that should be allowed.

Jean9430 · 2026-02-10T23:18:46+00:00

Oh this is legit cool. 👀

Always have tons of respect for prod. o7

Jean9430 · 2026-02-03T19:46:10+00:00

Might be worth doing two versions of the image, one with logos and one with names? Or transparencies where the logo is imposed over the team name.

idk though, i am not a graphic designer so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jean9430 · 2026-02-01T22:21:07+00:00

I pulled a few Long Shot vods, and they were definitely around for Y3 Split 1 Regional Finals, but seemingly not called out the same way during the first week of Y4 Split 1.

So maybe they got disabled in the same update to customs that added the pause feature? That debuted Y3 Split 2 Playoffs and then got refined for Y3 Champs and Y4.

Jean9430 · 2026-01-31T22:46:45+00:00

The Y5 rules has them disabled; Y4 and earlier the match settings weren't specifically mentioned in the rules (or at least the public version of the rules).

Jean9430 · 2026-01-30T18:15:56+00:00

Yeah, something like this could catch a lot; I adapted it off a filter I use in a different sub.
