Everything we know about ALGS 2024 Split 2 Playoffs

ALGS 2024 is about to step into its final chapter of the second split with the playoffs. Let’s take a quick overview of the playoffs.

The Pro League stage of ALGS 2024 Split 2 has recently ended with mind-blowing grand finals from 4 different regions. 36 teams have qualified for the Split 2 Playoffs through the Pro League showdown. Moreover, 2 top teams from South America have also made it to the Playoffs. The last 2 spots have been given to 2 Chinese teams via direct invitation, making it a total of 40 teams in the Split 2 Playoffs battle.

This year’s Split 2 LAN will be held at the SAP Arena in Mannheim, Germany. The event will last for 4 days, and the teams will fight against each other to win a 1 million USD prize pool. Here’s everything we know about the ALGS 2024 Split 2 Playoffs.

All Qualified Teams

Thanks to North America’s continuous dominance, the region has already occupied 12 slots out of 40. On the other hand, EMEA will send 8, APAC North will send 9, and APAC South will send 7 teams in the Split 2 Playoffs. This year, there is no Pro League for South American teams. However, 2 teams from South American teams are still going by competing through the challenger circuit. The remaining 2 teams have been directly invited from China by ALGS, making the total number of teams 40.

Here is a list of all 40 qualified teams from each region:

Format Explained

The tournament will consist of two phases: a group stage and a double elimination bracket structure to decide the winner. In the group stage, the 40 teams will be split up into 4 groups, each with 10 teams. In a six-match series, each group will compete against the other three groups to advance into the bracket stage.

After the group stage finishes, the top 20 teams with the most points will advance to the winners bracket, and the bottom 20 teams will duke it out against each other in the losers bracket round 1.

After that, the top 10 teams from the winners bracket will directly go to the grand finals, and the bottom 10 from the winners bracket will go to the losers bracket round 2, where they’ll face off against the top 10 teams of the losers bracket round 1.

The top 10 teams from the losers bracket round 2 also reach the grand finals. The bottom 10+10 teams from losers bracket round 1 and 2 will be eliminated from the Playoffs.

Now, what happens in the grand finals? The grand finals will be played out in a match point format. A team becomes match point eligible when it reaches 50 points. If the match point eligible team wins the next match, they’ll be crowned as the winner. Every other position apart from the winner will be determined by total points (highest to lowest.)
