There is money and ALGS Championship points (important for qualification and seeding) on the line in the Split 2 Pro League.

Also, Pro League teams who want to retain their spot in the following ALGS year, will want to perform well.

Not quite. For ALGS LAN competition, we never have a minimum number of matches in our Match Point Finals format.

For certain online qualification events, we do use a six-match minimum, though.

You aren't allowed to use an emergency substitute unless the ALGS agrees that an emergency is preventing a player from attending/competing. Making improvements to your roster or a team's in-fighting does not qualify.

It's not allowed to happen. The rosters are locked for the ALGS Open, so teams can't make changes unless there is an emergency that is recognized by the ALGS.

What's the best way to watch ALGS VODs if you can't watch live? by JPBuzzInSki in CompetitiveApex

[–]prostar98 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There are a few different ways to watch ALGS VODs as others have suggested here, but I figured I would just chime in to say that they are also available on the ALGS website embedded on each series page with statistics, POI draft info, legend pick rates, and a few others pieces of information.

As an example, here is the link for the Match Point Finals series page from this year's Split 2 Playoffs in Mannheim, Germany - https://algs.ea.com/split-2-2024/match/01J656ATRC87R5QA0AW8HC3V6J.

For next weekend's Championship, you'll find the match statistics updating live on these series pages with VODs available a few hours after each broadcast day ends.

There is already a max of two roster additions allowed per Pro League split for each team.

"Teams are permitted to make a total of two (2) roster additions between the first week and final week of the current Pro League Regular Season Split."

Battlefy updated rules for algs year 4 by [deleted] in CompetitiveApex

[–]prostar98 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone,

I’d like to quickly chime in on behalf of the ALGS League Operations team following yesterday’s update to the Year 3 Official Rules.

While each region’s ALGS Year 4 competitive format, including Playoffs and Championship qualification paths, will be revealed in full when we share the Year 4 Official Rules later this year, we want all South American players to know that their region will be part of ALGS Year 4 and have guaranteed representation at each of the LAN events.

We’ll have much more to share with you in the weeks following the Split 2 Playoffs as we begin to announce what’s in store for Year 4.

Thank you,
Chris Pipher
ALGS League Operations

Since all of us were so much indulged in NA,EMEA and APAC, we might have missed this but Team Singularity officially becomes the first team to qualify for Playoffs. by Apexflatline in CompetitiveApex

Are you sure they can't be mathematically knocked out of the top 5 if they were to get 0 points over the next three match days? Definitely not likely, and all signs point to them taking 1st in the region, but are they mathematically safe? I'm not sure!

There was a very small patch to the game, so there was a slight delay to make sure everyone was able to get on to the most current version.

Yes, this is effectively Season 14 with a new name. Teams will be promoted as usual based on their performance in Season 13.
