The ALGS (Apex Legends Global Series) Split 2 Playoffs 2024 have begun. The event sees 40 teams go head-to-head over a four-day competition for a $1 million prize pool. This hasn't been the easiest year for the game, and the tournament comes after a slew of Legend changes that are already making the most interesting of the year.

Even if you haven't followed an ALGS event before, the Split 2 Playoffs 2024 is an easy one to keep up with. It's split into stages that take place over three days, Thursday, August 29, 2024, to Saturday, August 31, 2024, before the finals on Sunday, September 1, 2024. While stats from the event are posted fairly regularly on the event's official Twitter profile, I still find it tricky to track who is actually winning.

Who is winning the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs 2024?

The team that's currently winning the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs 2024 is Not Moist. At the time of writing, we're on day one of the competition with round three well underway. While Not Moist hasn't won the most matches so far, the team has come out on top thanks to points earned through kills.

The team compositions for the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs 2024 have definitely been impacted by the most recent Legend changes implemented with season 22 of Apex Legends. I was very surprised to see so many teams running with Crypto among their ranks, but it makes sense given that he can remotely trigger viewpoints that show every other player within a certain radius for a few seconds.

This incredibly powerful ability is something fans have been taking advantage of in the base game, so it makes sense that it's bleeding through to the esport. Even with the difficulties the game has experienced in 2024 with Battle Pass changes being brought in and then reverted, the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs 2024 are packed. Fans worldwide come to the event to celebrate the game and the biggest players in the community, most of which either attend or compete in the event.

There's more than ever to do at the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs 2024, with activites scattered around the SAP Arena in Mannheim. I've explored the venue, and there's everything from claw machines to exclusive-to-the-event merch, and tables for meet and greets with most of the teams and sponsors. The highlight so far has been a hide-and-seek Nessie game in which you can win free merch if you take part over each of the four days.
