As the main playoffs approach, the latter will merge to form the EMEA region.

Scheduled and staged online, the first and second Winter Circuit Online Tournament (WCOT) kicks off in January. The third WCOT tournament commences the following month, while the fourth competition wraps up in March. Throughout these regional online tournaments, points will be tallied and used towards the main playoffs.

Each ALGS Winter Circuit WCOT competition awards the top ten teams with a share of the massive prize pool. The highest is the North American and European tournaments, which award first placed teams $6 thousand. On the other hand, the main playoff stage awards first ranking teams with a share between $48 thousand and $18 thousand, depending on the region.

This year’s Apex Legends Global Series Summer and Autumn events were entertaining, fresh and what the competitive scene needed. Whether it was growing grassroots talent or fortifying established skill, ALGS delivered. Fans and players alike can all agree that the Winter Circuit announcement only means more of the best for Apex Legends esports. Now that EA and Respawn will reform the new competitive series format, it means shorter runs and more fun—making it more of a season. The tournament will be played on Apex Legends Season 7.

Registration for the first event opens up on January 5 and concludes on January 14. Registration is available to all players who reached Gold IV Rank on PC in Series 6 Split 2.
