The ALGS Birmingham Group Stage is complete, with the upper and lower brackets confirmed that will establish who reaches the final and who is eliminated.
While some Apex Legends teams were able to establish dominance, the first stage of competition appeared more challenging than usual for much of the lobby. Perhaps the most contentious focus point throughout the ALGS Championship 2023 Group Stage was the continuing dissatisfaction with EA’s servers. Despite facing significant difficulties and widespread rumours of a DDoS attack during the Split 2 Playoffs in London, the same server system is in place for Birmingham’s LAN.

Birmingham’s 2023 ALGS Championship Bracket Stage provided some of the most contentious, passionate, and unbelievable action seen in Apex Legends, with Pulverex gifting the Resorts World Arena the viewing experience of a lifetime.
The first elimination bracket commenced on Friday, exposing every crack in team strategy under pressure. After struggling to establish a rhythm, UK team JLingz Esports crashed out of the tournament earlier than expected. Efforts to replicate their Split 2 Playoffs miracle wins in the Bracket Stage fell flat, and the home squad accepted their fate.
