ALGS Year 5 Open Format

For anyone who has watched an ALGS event, you'll know that they're no small task. With the Open now introducing even more teams into the mix, you can be that there will be plenty of Apex Legends to catch across the four days.

The ALGS Year 5 Open will use a double-elimination bracket format, while keeping the ALGS' famed Match-Point format for the Finals. 

Five teams from the ALGS Open will qualify for the Midseason Playoffs. According to Respawn, "Regional performance at the Open will also impact the number of teams from each region competing at the Midseason Playoffs."
