In a dramatic conclusion to the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) Split 2, Spacestation Gaming (SSG) emerged victorious, marking their first major win of the season and becoming the third different champion of the year.
This thrilling LAN event showcased some of the most intense gameplay in ALGS history, setting the stage for the upcoming Championship in Japan.
Key Highlights from Split 2
- Surprising Comeback: SSG’s journey to the title was nothing short of extraordinary. After a rocky start with two last-place finishes and a mere two points from their first three games, the North American team surged back into contention. Their performance was marked by consistency, including scoring at least seven points in each of their subsequent matches and clinching two match wins, including their decisive final game.
- Top Competitors: The competition was fierce, with several top teams making headlines:
- Gaimin Gladiators: Fast-tracked to match point early in the series.
- Alliance, TSM, Fnatic, Team Liquid, Moist Esports, and NRG: All familiar names in the competitive scene.
- VK Gaming, BLEED Esports, and Guild: Emerging as strong contenders.
- Disappointing Finish for Falcons: Despite a roster including prominent players like Genburten, Zer0, and ImperialHal, the international superteam Falcons struggled and ended up in 20th place. This outcome was particularly notable as the trio had been part of every ALGS LAN-winning team in the previous two years.

- Phony and Koyful secured their first major ALGS victory with this win.
- Xynew achieved his second ALGS LAN victory, previously winning with DarkZero in the previous Split Two playoffs.
