With only one weekend remaining in the first split of the Apex Legends Global Series, ALGS organizers have made the decision to cancel the planned LAN playoffs for Split One. The move comes as global concerns surrounding COVID-19 rise once again, with spiking cases in several regions and the Omicron variant making holding a tournament “not possible.”
Due to the massive nature of the planned playoffs for the first split, featuring 40 different teams of three from several different regions, the organizers apparently didn’t feel they could guarantee competitor health and safety. It’s also possible that many potential sites for the event simply wouldn’t work due to different travel and quarantine situations on such short notice.
