The ALGS (Apex Legends Global Series) Year 4 LCQ (Last Chance Qualifier) APAC-S Finals have concluded, and HAVOC have emerged from the carnage as the victors. They fought incredibly demanding all weekend to get to the final matches, and then pushed as demanding as they could to secure that victory.
HAVOC faced 20 other teams in 8 final matches of the ALGS Year 4 LCQ APAC-S, Apex Legends‘esports series to secure victory. That’s no basic feat, especially after a grueling weekend of group stages, qualifiers, and finals at the end, which have their own rules that put everyone on an equal footing at the start. The entire set of matches on that final day was incredible, as we saw the circle move almost everywhere. Of course, the key takeaway from this is that HAVOC is headed to Japan in 2025 for the ALGS Championship.
Wreaking havoc
HAVOC almost surprised us with a win when we got to match 8. Every commentator and viewer, myself included, thought the matches could go on until we got to 25, which was the mathematical limit before a winner had to be decided.
Havoc pulled out all the stops in this final match, despite other teams like Kill Devil pushing just as demanding. In fact, Kill Devil looked to take the series in match 8, fresh off their win in match 7, and looked like they were aiming for a win.
The ALGS Year 4 LCQ Finals APAC-S were as exhilarating as the finals of major LAN events, with every team giving their all, likely due to being in familiar locations rather than traveling around the world to compete against each other.
For those who don’t understand the rules, the last day of each ALGS event means that each team starts with 0 points. Throughout each match, placements and kills earn the team points. Once a team reaches 50 points, they can win the entire tournament if they win the next match or matches.
The goal of the ALGS Year 4 LCQ Finals APAC-S was to give teams a chance to secure a spot in the ALGS YEar 4 Championships. The prize pool for the next substantial LAN is $2 million, so even a fraction of that could be very useful for any of the pros playing today.
From now until the ALGS Year 4 Championship, we have a whole BLGS series to look forward to. The smaller competitions are spread out over five weeks to keep us in the mood for more ALGS action as everything is set for what could be the biggest ALGS Championship in history next year.
