EA and Respawn Entertainment have revealed that E-District will be added to the map rotation for the upcoming ALGS Year 4 Championship, which takes place from January 29 to February 2 in Sapporo, Japan. Not only does this mark the first time the tournament will be heading to Asia, but with a new map in rotation there's sure to be some shake-ups in the competition.
E-District made its debut in Season 22: Shockwave, and is known for its versatility when it comes to strategic positioning. Players have rooftops to scale to secure vantage points, courtyards for close-quarters combat, and various hideaways for a more stealthy approach. It's a map that encourages diverse play, which we'll no doubt see in the competitive plays at the Championship.
Exclusive Merch Revealed for ALGS Year 4 Championship
In addition to the new map rotation, the ALGS has also revealed some of the exlcusive merch fans will be able to purchase on-site in Sapporo. The line-up includes a hoodie that features Nessie hitting the slopes in reference to Sapporo's famous Snow Festival, and collectibles such as an exclusive Valkyrie pin.
A Nessie bucket hat and Year 4 Championship t-shirt spotlighting Pathfinder will also be available to honor the ALGS’s first trip to Asia.
Fans can purchase tickets at ALGSChamps.zaiko.io to catch the action for themselves live from the Daiwa House PREMIST DOME, from January 29 to February 2, 2025.
