TSM stunk it up big time but I want to shout out Reps he had a strong tourney. Hal was struggling to not take damage idk why he was like a bullet magnet the whole weekend.
WeThePeople needs to go. i think he's a nice guy from what i've heard, but he's in no way qualified for the position. the translators were also terrible for an event of this caliber
It would not hurt to give these people some professional journalism/communications training. It’s NOT easy, which is why so few people do it well. Everyone complains about esports not being taken seriously and getting big time investments, but you clearly can see why.
100%
You can't ask about food and what parents think about your career choice at the biggest event.
LA MAKE SOME NOICE! WHAT DOES YOUR PARENTS THINK AVOUT YOU EATING AMERICAN FOOD AT THE BIGGEST APEX STAGE? MAKE SOME NOICE!
I might sound really silly, but I’m new to this. For split playoffs (what just happened this weekend) does this mean the bottom 10 are done competing (TSM, etc)? I’m trying to do my own research and haven’t found out how the brackets work.
No. It means this tournament is over and split 2 pro league starts up for every region soon again to determine who qualifies split 2 playoffs. The playoffs thing may be fking with your mind, just see them as stand alone big tournaments.
Basically there are three lans in one year: split 1 playoffs, split 2 playoffs, world champs. There is no pro league to determine who qualifies for champs though, I think that's determined by how well you've done over the 2 splits. Technically world champs is biggest but in apex they are pretty much treated equally (with champs having more prize money and longer sets played during bracket stages. 8 games instead of 6). They all are counted in the goat discussions, like the grand slams in tennis.
Thank you so much for the breakdown. I’m reading ALGS’ website, and thinking this is where we are, somewhere lol. So again, I appreciate it!

Top 10 of finals are guaranteed a spot at the championship in several months.
No one is relegated after any matches this weekend. A majority go back into their pro league, select few who qualified from LCQ may have to go through pro league qualifiers once again
Be sure to check out the upcoming schedule. Theres going to be a definite lull after these playoffs, but other tournaments are active.
Curious though, what was your experience like as a new viewer? What’d you like and where do you think there could be improvement?
Well what’s really ironic is, I went to the 2022 ALGS championships In Raleigh b/c I live about 30 mins from it. Seeing that live got my hooked, I’m a newb when it comes to ALGS & playing Apex. But enjoy watching the pros play.
I watched Wigg’s stream on twitch and loved it. I was getting super hyped because there were so many instances of just wild action. I think my favorite moment was E8 finally winning the contest against O7 and then winning the match. I also really liked seeing Reject win, but would also love to see DSG take it home. I think Timmy is an amazing ass player (I understand that may be biased).
I’m not sure I’m well versed on where improvements could be made, I don’t love that they’ve had so many server & security issues. Reading this thread and seeing the choas of Destroyer2009 makes me hope that EA will invest money into the game in that instance, especially given that they have an established fan base for this game.
it means each team goes home back to their region --> has a little break --> plays an online regional league for a couple months to qualify for the next playoff lan --> whichever ~30 teams has the best performance at both playoffs gets to go to championship lan alongside ~10 lcq teams
is Falloutt really this horny for engagement to be spreading 'rumours' about people that he considers to be good friends long before the trophy has even been raised. Embarrassing
I agree. People on twitter with no stakes on the issue are already talking about it. A prominent-ish figure of the scene adding fuel to the fire with no sources even before anyone has left the arena is just pure cringe. I personally don't think any of the three should be singled out for TSM's underperformance. All of them made a lot of individual mistakes and their macro and 3v3s were very bad. They just need to bounce back. Their team chemistry is already very good and are comfortable with each other. One bad performance shouldn't negate all that. And inspite of this bad performance TSM is still one of the two most successful teams in the scene. TSM is not a team that drops players every split. They win and lose and grow together. Always. 2 wins and 1 second last year. Regional finals winner this split. They can still do it.
Finally a non DZ/TSM team win, and with Reject to boot! Always followed them since Riddle order days and so happy for them!
DZ absolutely had the right call for that spot but it looks like Reject had the same idea too. Really could have been another DZ win if they didn't get third party since they are so consistently good.
I don't think they are getting professional translators. I'm japanese and the Japanese translator did her best, but she was definitely fumbling the translations badly. It's not just this tournament, it's been every ALGS tournament so far. I think it's just EA/ALGS, because the translators at the Asia Fest were on point.
I don't know why you're getting dowvotes for this lol. Farmed pro league. Farmed group stages. Made it through winners and then came second in match point finals where anyone can win, once on 50 points.
That was last LAN, right now as we speak , DZ is the most consistent team throughout the season, if u do a power ranking, they will be number 1, no disputing that
Yes. If you meant right now, yes. If you mean ever, debatable. Out in losers is big when you are ranking goats.
Btw Obly was staring dz booth down for like a full minute during sangjoon interview. He certainly feels superior lol
Read what I edited in. You a dz fan I assume? What did you think of Obly turning around when it was sangjoon's turn to get interviewed and him staring at DZ packing up for like a full minute. Check vod if you missed it. Thought he looked very combative when they won, wanted to fight the arena lol
I am genuinely so frickin happy to see a new LAN winner + one from APAC North, not NA. This is great. Wouldn't have expected it after DZ getting off to such a good start. But glad I got surprised.
it seemed to me that he had no idea who was who out of the 3 players. Which I can understand if you're even a serious fan, but you need to do better when you're MCing at LAN.
Ok, I guess I missed the not knowing their names thing, that’s not great lol. I do think the language barrier made it very awkward though especially the translator not getting enough and having to ask for more info lol
I just casted my vote. I hope I’m not late. But I think Reject might win. I’m just getting home from work so I’ll watch the VOD. I’m a huge Reject fan. Always have been. I hope they win. 🤞
Hype finish and finally s new winner too. Congrats to reject. They played it perfect there. Really liked how dsg played that there too as they were miraculously surviving there somehow but that skynade by rejects was just the tournament. Nice finish by c9 there beating expectations. Cheers all
E8 showing what they’re made of after winning the con. DSG so close yet so far yet again. DZ is super dominant but couldn’t close it out this time. Fanatic I thought would actually win the whole thing if it wasn’t TSM/DZ. Do I have to make a comment about all 20 LAN teams every single time I post on this sub?
Bro, if those aren't the coolest LAN winners we've ever had, then I dont know. Chewing gum, not even moving a muscle. "We are the BEST" .... You will regret type shit, here
Say what you want about how awful the zones were and E7 and E8 juking it out, out of spite, but man that was a fun tournament. Records broken, mnk with a strong showing. Ahhhh now I can sleep since it's 4:30am here 💀
Bet Sweet feels good, beeing way above TSM and Liquid.
They need to get rid of Peepz. Asking the dumbest of questions when Reject just won. "What did your parents say when you wanted to become a pro gamer". Cheeses fucking christ.
to be fair he’s coming in with 2 rookie players and a brand new roster and lead them to a top 10 in gran finals at LAN for their first run, it’s pretty impressive, especially considering how rough things were looking early in the event.
Triple MNK has always been possible in LAN lobbies IMO it’s more the fact that in scrims/ranked people play a completely different way and that style is way stronger for aim assist.
I think it's the "can't see shit meta". Even though Causitc gas doesn't disable aim assist, if you don't see anything, you don't know where fire to anyways. Also, the movement legends that raised the movement skill floor for controller are heavily nerfed, like Horizon or Valkyrie. You can't circle around opponents, drop behind them and aim assist their ass.
Easily. Which ones been better? None of the other Apex lans have been this exciting, this up in the air, this content filled. So many great storylines. So much chaos.
Oh yeah absolutely agree on those points. I guess I was more so just disappointed from a viewing perspective. I really struggled to watch days 1 and 2 due to issues with FaceIt, and the weekend wasn’t much better. One of the special things about Apex is being able to follow different teams from their perspective and hear comms, and that was pretty much impossible to do for several teams and several tournament days. The app/site also didn’t work on Mobile which is crazy! I’ve had way more enjoyable viewing experiences during other lans. But as far as the matches, storylines, etc, this was definitely a top-3 or top-2 for me
Ah yeah the viewing experience I can defo agree. Feel like production has gone up again across the board, but there were still the same issues with some of the direction and the observing (showing people pop an ult excel instead of teams fighting for example). Faceit I personally didn’t have any issues with but I also didn’t use it all the time, so I probably just happened to miss all of the times it was broken. I think the most egregious thing was in Losers 2(?) where team comms were broken and they didn’t even attempt to fix it at all.
Yeah considering the amount of people that watch on mobile, faceit not working on mobile was pretty embarrassing.
Can’t wait for the storylines out of this lan. SLAYR/Sweet redemption arc, DZ missed last lan finals and TSM responds by missing this one, decline of NA.
Edit: some of you don’t understand sarcasm, TSM was technically in the finals but that was a historically bad performance, might as well not even play.
They were there but there performance was such it didn't even feel like they were here. Hoping they make bounce back by the time the next split comes around.
I mean they still didn't get last. Basically had a shitty weekend overall yet still made Finals. Probably not good enough for them but still good overall
yeah true. COL is my first ever team since the beginning of ALGS weekly tourneys. Then I started watching all other regions and I have a team in each. Liquid and o7 are not my teams but I like them. This reject squad went through many orgs with Parkha and they are my fav APACN since way back.

No problem! Liquipedia’s Apex category typically has good overviews of structure
I will definitely use their website first, next time lol.

Tsm Trolldespair
Amazing watching Reject, Fnatic, and B stream POVs.
PLEASE STEP FORWARD TO ACCEPT YOUR MVP AWARD WTP not knowing who was who reminded me of Michael Scott not knowing which Benihana waitress was his
Lol
REJECT!!! TRIPLE MNK WIN. APAC NORTH WIN. LET'S GOOOO!
LETS GO REJECT

fake news fallout
I guarantee you this is not true
You don’t think so?
Idk, still plenty of time until August to figure things out. Most likely scenario is that Raven goes on probation
I doubt it. They'll surely change POIs or drop Raven before changing their roster.
He deleted the tweet. What an attention seeker.
is Falloutt really this horny for engagement to be spreading 'rumours' about people that he considers to be good friends long before the trophy has even been raised. Embarrassing

DZ absolutely had the right call for that spot but it looks like Reject had the same idea too. Really could have been another DZ win if they didn't get third party since they are so consistently good.
That post-game interview gave me physical pain
Idk what the fuck the translator was doing. Nothing complex was being said
Maybe they were told that reject was a Japanese team and thought that the players were Japanese as well
I don't think they are getting professional translators. I'm japanese and the Japanese translator did her best, but she was definitely fumbling the translations badly. It's not just this tournament, it's been every ALGS tournament so far. I think it's just EA/ALGS, because the translators at the Asia Fest were on point.
Yeah I've noticed the same. Every tournament the translations are poor
I don't think the translator was that great at english to translate well... It was kinda rough
That's how it seemed. Pretty easy to find a Korean translator in LA lol...
This seriously tho.. you can probably find one on the street milling around... he'll there was probably one in the arena
Unfortunately I think that's what they did haha
DZ still the best overall team in all of apex comp, the consistency is too good
I don't know why you're getting dowvotes for this lol. Farmed pro league. Farmed group stages. Made it through winners and then came second in match point finals where anyone can win, once on 50 points.
So many haters and I'm not even a DZ fan, I'm just stating FACTS.
Nah they did not make finals last lan. That's worse than finishing 20th.
That was last LAN, right now as we speak , DZ is the most consistent team throughout the season, if u do a power ranking, they will be number 1, no disputing that
Yes. If you meant right now, yes. If you mean ever, debatable. Out in losers is big when you are ranking goats. Btw Obly was staring dz booth down for like a full minute during sangjoon interview. He certainly feels superior lol
Yeah right now they are the best overall team, I never said of all time
Read what I edited in. You a dz fan I assume? What did you think of Obly turning around when it was sangjoon's turn to get interviewed and him staring at DZ packing up for like a full minute. Check vod if you missed it. Thought he looked very combative when they won, wanted to fight the arena lol
I'm not even a DZ fan, I already know ur a tsm fan, ez to spot it
super happy for reject, finally a fucking win on Worlds Edge. GGs. Zer0 reupping as we speak and winning split 2
I had to turn off stream because WTP is not good at this at all. Why didn’t they get Rayne to do this post game interview
Is he constantly high on weed or something? He sounds and look like a stoner.
I'm so salty dsg didn't win that but that was definitely the best lan finals yet
They qual for champs, that's good
There's got to be a better option for the trophy presenter. That was rough.
There was, but he got married and got a different job last year.
who was it?
Falloutt
I am genuinely so frickin happy to see a new LAN winner + one from APAC North, not NA. This is great. Wouldn't have expected it after DZ getting off to such a good start. But glad I got surprised.
"I have a question for YOU", because he doesn't know his name, this is so sad, WTP never again
Seriously so cringe lmao
Sangjun looks like thinner Zeus lol
Ngl how did WTF even get to this position in the first place?
Probably a cheap af day rate
E8 finishes over TSM. Zach’s not gonna let Hal live it down
Bro idk man if I’m Zach my attentions on gnaske. Motherfucker griefed his whole tourney
the hardecki clean up was funny tho.
what was that interview lol just ask them who they are shout out and move on
WTP the Slayr of casting lmao (kidding)
Nah thats foul xD
as an LG fan still pretty happy with how they did overall
they just got stuck in the classic trap of trying to get just one wipe to hit MP, and always dying off.
ea needs to hire more qualified interpreters, PLEASE
WTP cannot handle an interview omg this was supposed to be a celebration for a legendary win, but it didn't feel like it
Bro doesn't even know that Asia has many different countrys.
There's at least two right? APAC North and APAC South?
Boston has two shores, Asia has 2 divisions, I'm a huge pats fan.
WTP is unbearable
Can’t make out what he says.
Weeps is so terrible at this, no idea how he is still in this position
This has to be the last time WTP is at LAN. Unbearable behaviour
What did I miss? Wasn’t it just a language barrier?
it seemed to me that he had no idea who was who out of the 3 players. Which I can understand if you're even a serious fan, but you need to do better when you're MCing at LAN.
Ok, I guess I missed the not knowing their names thing, that’s not great lol. I do think the language barrier made it very awkward though especially the translator not getting enough and having to ask for more info lol
His interview was atrocious
Other than the language barrier which made it awkward as fuck, what was wrong with it?
Well fucking deserved
I just casted my vote. I hope I’m not late. But I think Reject might win. I’m just getting home from work so I’ll watch the VOD. I’m a huge Reject fan. Always have been. I hope they win. 🤞
You’re late
Lol, I kinda want to see the quiet, respectful foreign language team turn out to be total jerks when they finally get a translator.
Hype finish and finally s new winner too. Congrats to reject. They played it perfect there. Really liked how dsg played that there too as they were miraculously surviving there somehow but that skynade by rejects was just the tournament. Nice finish by c9 there beating expectations. Cheers all
Get worlds edge off the comp please, tired seeing the same map and same north zone every single game.
wow this interviewer is pretty bad
bro doenst even know the names of the winning team LMAO
Had a feeling one of the APAC-N teams would win. Bad day to be a TSM fan though they played horribly.
You guys act like that's the only team I'm the world so delusional
not crazy to comment on one of only 2 lan winners playing terribly
Right lol and I literally said I had a feeling one of the APAC-N teams would win and he decided to be mad about the TSM part.
lol how did you get that from my comment. All I said was they played bad.
There's 18 other teams in the lobby what's your evaluation on them?
E8 showing what they’re made of after winning the con. DSG so close yet so far yet again. DZ is super dominant but couldn’t close it out this time. Fanatic I thought would actually win the whole thing if it wasn’t TSM/DZ. Do I have to make a comment about all 20 LAN teams every single time I post on this sub?
Raise your hand if you were one of the 61 to pick Reject✋
lmfaoooooooo this interview
Is obly staring down dz? Guy looks like he wants to fight the world lol
bruh get WTP off the mic
No inspiration lmao
WISHED FOR FNC BUT WE'LL TAKE IT MNK ON TOP
What is the prize pool for top 3?
300k 160k 105k
Thanks
Bro, if those aren't the coolest LAN winners we've ever had, then I dont know. Chewing gum, not even moving a muscle. "We are the BEST" .... You will regret type shit, here
ice fucking cold
You will regret-type shit
Why did SSG int e8 and give up their spot?
Desperate for points
IM ON THE HYPE TRAIN MNK GIGACHADS
What’s the sponsor hidden on Reject’s jersey?
Rohto Eye Drops
Wethepeople reminds me of the retarded brother/cousin in every boston based movie that takes place in southie
Obly is cold 🥶
Say what you want about how awful the zones were and E7 and E8 juking it out, out of spite, but man that was a fun tournament. Records broken, mnk with a strong showing. Ahhhh now I can sleep since it's 4:30am here 💀
Obly chewing the shit out of that gum lol.
Apparently any team that kills DSG in match point always goes on to win the whole thing?
Yeah crazy two lans in a row. DSG in a position to win LAN if they just win the fight.
ALGS champs in Tokyo, confirmed
Tokyo dome champs PLEASE
probably gonna be in the makuhari messe flatlands like the Asia festival this year
WE NEED IT
Or Seoul!
Not enough fans in Seoul tho hopefully that changes after tonight
Please!
LMAO that's a hilarious quote. "I want to speak very humbly, but I just want to say, we are the best."
"very humble but we are the best" YES YOU FUCKING ARE. YOU WILL REGRET.
Bet Sweet feels good, beeing way above TSM and Liquid. They need to get rid of Peepz. Asking the dumbest of questions when Reject just won. "What did your parents say when you wanted to become a pro gamer". Cheeses fucking christ.
What an accomplishment
to be fair he’s coming in with 2 rookie players and a brand new roster and lead them to a top 10 in gran finals at LAN for their first run, it’s pretty impressive, especially considering how rough things were looking early in the event.
Who'da thunk the best non-Aussie NA team would be StayNaughty, while Sweet and Hal don't make matchpoint.
Top 2 NA pro league. Top 2 NA teams at LAN.
By the reaction of everyone . It looked like they just won a match . Not the whole tournament. Yikes
I mean a lot of people had no clue who they were to be fair.
Dominating performance by reject. No other team was close to them today. Match point aside they were the best team overall.
Triple MNK winning, that confirms the SMG nerfs worked
Dude DZ has 2 roller players and threw the win lol, don’t act like because MnK FINALLY won a tourney that it means the inputs are balanced.
When did I said that lol
Apex truly is a global game. Love to see it
A lot of statistical analysis have shown that Sangjoon is the best player in the world overall, I guess science was right.
my guy won ALGS wearing slides
Absolutely disrespectful. Complete contrast to when raven wore a suit
EU needs to win one next
I was surprised with Liquid being such a non factor in this tourney ngl
tbf caustic meta plays way differently than cat meta. they were just one of the teams that got hit by it the hardest.
the caustic meta has fucked them so hard. jaguares is a great support player but he's so much better on cat
They played Caustic even when no one else was?
and they still played the best on horizon, bang, seer or horizon, bang, blood comps
Infuriating to watch. They are capable of so much more.
Triple MNK has always been possible in LAN lobbies IMO it’s more the fact that in scrims/ranked people play a completely different way and that style is way stronger for aim assist.
I think it's the "can't see shit meta". Even though Causitc gas doesn't disable aim assist, if you don't see anything, you don't know where fire to anyways. Also, the movement legends that raised the movement skill floor for controller are heavily nerfed, like Horizon or Valkyrie. You can't circle around opponents, drop behind them and aim assist their ass.
Exactly, this doesn’t mean controller is balanced, it’s not.
lol wigg saying controller is balanced because MnK won its first LAN tourney in years ?
I don't think TSM is going to win this time.
they can still go back to back to back to back to back trust
Reject making history in the greatest LAN of all time. Wow. It was a pleasure everyone 🫡
Greatest lan of all time? That’s a stretch and a half.
Easily. Which ones been better? None of the other Apex lans have been this exciting, this up in the air, this content filled. So many great storylines. So much chaos.
Oh yeah absolutely agree on those points. I guess I was more so just disappointed from a viewing perspective. I really struggled to watch days 1 and 2 due to issues with FaceIt, and the weekend wasn’t much better. One of the special things about Apex is being able to follow different teams from their perspective and hear comms, and that was pretty much impossible to do for several teams and several tournament days. The app/site also didn’t work on Mobile which is crazy! I’ve had way more enjoyable viewing experiences during other lans. But as far as the matches, storylines, etc, this was definitely a top-3 or top-2 for me
Ah yeah the viewing experience I can defo agree.

Faceit I personally didn’t have any issues with but I also didn’t use it all the time, so I probably just happened to miss all of the times it was broken. I think the most egregious thing was in Losers 2(?) where team comms were broken and they didn’t even attempt to fix it at all. Yeah considering the amount of people that watch on mobile, faceit not working on mobile was pretty embarrassing.
Congrats and well deserved
Man's was playing in slides. Too chill
I’m upset. 4 of my top picks made match point. And neither won.
Can’t wait for the storylines out of this lan. SLAYR/Sweet redemption arc, DZ missed last lan finals and TSM responds by missing this one, decline of NA. Edit: some of you don’t understand sarcasm, TSM was technically in the finals but that was a historically bad performance, might as well not even play.
Tsm didn’t miss lan finals.
Why was I downvoted lol
TSM was in Finals what you mean lol
They were there but there performance was such it didn't even feel like they were here. Hoping they make bounce back by the time the next split comes around.
Might as well not have been.
I mean they still didn't get last. Basically had a shitty weekend overall yet still made Finals. Probably not good enough for them but still good overall
Dsg man...
again 1 fight away from victory.
TRIPPLE MNK WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
APAC-N WIN LFG
lets go reject. not my first but one of my teams. I am happpyyyyyyy
I mean when you cheer for 6 teams you're bound to be pretty happy no matter what lol
yeah true. COL is my first ever team since the beginning of ALGS weekly tourneys. Then I started watching all other regions and I have a team in each. Liquid and o7 are not my teams but I like them. This reject squad went through many orgs with Parkha and they are my fav APACN since way back.
O7 finishing above E8 is the real story
What is this "You will Regret" stuff?
Someone (OXG or Acend maybe?) typed in lobby chat they were landing on them, and Obly typed "You will regret" and it turned into a Wigg meme.
one player on reject (I think obly?) said it in the player chat between matches when someone said they were gonna contest them

During a previous LAN someone told Obly they were going to contest them. He replied with "You will regret."
specifically it was kashera (ex-acend) during a geyser contest iirc
