The Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) Split 2 Playoffs in Germany have brought exciting developments to the game, but it has also resurfaced a conversation about a missed opportunity: the ALGS Collection Event. This event, which was once set to bring exclusive in-game items and skins to fans, never saw the light of day. As we explore the possibilities of its return, let’s dive into what could have been and what the future holds for Apex Legends.
The ALGS Collection Event That Never Happened
In the early days of the ALGS, fans were thrilled at the prospect of a dedicated Collection Event that featured exclusive team-themed skins. These skins were designed for popular teams like TSM, Crazy Raccoon, NRG, and others. Players would have been able to collect skins like the Octane TSM skin, the Crazy Raccoon Watson, and the C9 Valkyrie, among others. Unfortunately, this event was scrapped due to disagreements over revenue sharing between EA and the teams involved—a classic EA move that left the community disappointed.
What’s Happening in ALGS Right Now?
Despite the missed Collection Event, the current ALGS Split 2 Playoffs are offering players some free rewards just for tuning in. By watching the playoffs, you can earn a free Bangalore skin, an R99 skin, gun charms, and a holo spray. While these rewards are a nice touch, they pale in comparison to what the original ALGS Collection Event could have provided.
One of the most talked-about topics in the ALGS is the imminent nerf to the Mozambique. With stats showing that the Mozambique is outperforming other weapons like the Nemesis, it’s likely that we’ll see significant nerfs in the near future. The weapon has been a dominant force in the meta, much like Seer was upon his release, and it seems its reign at the top might be coming to an end soon.
The Need for More ALGS Promotions
The ALGS is a vital part of the Apex Legends community, yet it feels like it hasn’t received the promotional push it deserves. In the past, there were unique banner frames for teams, and an ALGS store where fans could show their support. Reviving these initiatives could help grow the competitive scene and engage more casual players.
Interestingly, a new store sale, titled “Blood Moon,” is set to launch soon, featuring new skins for characters like Bloodhound and Gibraltar. While these are exciting, they could have been timed closer to Halloween for a more thematic release. More importantly, integrating ALGS-themed content into these sales could attract a broader audience to the competitive side of Apex.
The Future of Competitive Maps and Events
Looking ahead, it’s expected that the District map will undergo changes and likely become the next competitive map, replacing World’s Edge, which has been a staple since the game’s inception. This shift could breathe new life into competitive play, offering fresh strategies and dynamics.
Moreover, the upcoming “Mania Dark” event promises legendary skins for characters such as Fuse, Mad Maggie, and Newcastle, along with other exciting cosmetics. While this event is highly anticipated, it also highlights a missed opportunity for integrating more ALGS-themed content into the game.
Free Skins and Twitch Drops
If you’re a fan of the ALGS or just looking for some free in-game content, make sure to watch the ALGS playoffs this weekend. You’ll have the chance to earn free skins and other cosmetics through Twitch Drops. However, it’s clear that more could be done to promote these events, such as showcasing them on the Apex Legends main menu or through official social media channels.
