How did UK players perform at the Apex Legends ALGS London LAN, and what do plans to scrap regional quotas mean for the future of the EMEA ALGS region? | Esports News UK 

The Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) is running all its 2023 LAN tournaments in London this year, with Split 1’s Playoffs having found a home at the Copper Box Arena on the weekend.

However, the EMEA ALGS region fell short of expectations in February’s Split 1 Playoffs, with only three teams qualifying for the finals. Both Acend and Alliance Esports were able to secure third and fifth respectively, with Element 6 finishing in ninth.

In the context of Split 1, the EMEA’s reputation has been somewhat protected by the performances of these teams. However, the future of the region feels somewhat threatened.

In the realm of journalism, I have worked as press at events to provide coverage of UK esports tournaments - namely, the ALGS (Apex Legends Global Series) and MSI (the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational). Article content, social media content, and video interviews are included in this coverage. 

Regarding esports and gaming journalism, I attend events with a press pass (provided by a client or obtained independently) and utilise my own equipment to gain photos, videos, interviews, and more. Often, I will do my own video editing, including tailoring certain content to social media platforms.
