Firstly, a Group Stage has all 40 teams split into four groups of ten teams each hoping to beat the Apex Legends odds. Within each group, a six-game series with 18 games determines how teams seed into the Bracket Stage.

Split into two groups of 20, here’s how teams progress into the Bracket Stage:

  • Top 20 Highest Group Stage Score – Winners Bracket
  • Bottom 20 Lowest Group Stage Score – Losers Bracket Round 1

Once in the Bracket Stage, teams have to work harder to seed into the Finals.

In order to do that, one 8-game series takes place in the Winners Bracket, while two 8-game series take place in the Losers Bracket with seeding as follows:

  • Winners Bracket – top 10 seed to the Finals, bottom 10 seeds into LB Round 2
  • LB Round 1 – top 10 seed to LB Round 2, bottom 10 seeds eliminated
  • LB Round 2 – top 10 seed to the Finals, bottom 10 seeds eliminated

Once in the Finals, only the top 20 teams remain and compete in a Match Point format which makes for exciting esports betting. Of note, teams seeding from the Winners Bracket kick off with Advance Starting Points.

Here, 8 rounds of competition will crown a new Apex Legends Championship Winner, taking home the majority of the $2,000,000 prize pool.

The last time that the international competition faced one another at previous Apex Legends tournaments was at the ALGS 2023 Split 2 Playoffs. Taking place in July, with $1,000,000, here’s how the competition stacked up:

  1. DarkZero Esports
  2. TSM
  3. Oxygen Esports
  4. XSET
  5. FaZe Clan
  6. Pioneers
  7. Moist Esports
  8. OpTic Gaming

In addition, at the ALGS Championship 2022, DarkZero Esports walked away as the champions, followed by teams such as FURIA Esports, 100 Thieves and Fnatic.

Accordingly, it’s certain that DarkZero Esports look like an ALGS Championship Betting favourite.
