ALGS Open: Teams, schedule, where to watch and more

The ALGS Open is almost here. This is set to be the biggest LAN in ALGS history, with a different format, more teams than ever before and direct spots at the Midseason Playoffs on the line.

With so many teams to follow, so many matches taking place at once, there is a lot to take in across the four day event in New Orleans. We've gathered everything that you need to know about the event so you can get prepared and make the most of this iconic moment in ALGS history.

Here is your guide to watching the ALGS Open.

The ALGS Open schedule will be similar to the ALGS LAN events that we're familiar with. There will be three sets of matches a day, with Match Point Finals taking place on Sunday. The difference is that matches will be running simultaneously, to accommodate the 160 teams.

Watching from home? We've broken the schedule down into other time zones so you can set your alarms and plan your weekend.

The format will feature a double-elimination bracket format, with no group-stage like previous LAN events. All 160 teams will be assigned a starting position in the double-elimination bracket based on their Split 1 Pro League or Challenger Circuit performance.

After each series in the Winners Bracket, the top 10 teams will advance to the next Winner’s Bracket round. The bottom 10 teams are dropped to the Elimination Bracket.

At the end of each series in the Elimination Bracket, the top 10 teams will advance to the next Elimination Bracket round, while the bottom 10 teams will be eliminated from the tournament all together.

As always, this will then culminate in the 20 team Match Point finals that we know and love.

Here are all of the 160 teams that will compete in New Orleans. We have never seen this huge number of teams at an Apex Legends event before.

Will one of the household name teams, like Team Falcons or Alliance reign supreme? Or, will an underdog team pull off one of the biggest shocks in ALGS history?

The ALGS Open is broadcast across Apex Legends Esports official channels. This includes both Twitch and YouTube. You'll also be able to access Multiview on FACEIT Watch. This allows you to watch four different POVs at once.

However, only one lobby is broadcast on the main stream per set. For the other matches happening, the B-Stream with Wigg and Greek will be the place to be. Additionally, there are also several other watch parties and broadcasts in different languages.

On the main channel, we have a whole host of familiar faces. From Onset and Gaskin to DiA and Graceful the ALGS team will guide you through all four days of action.

The ALGS Open is a must watch moment in Apex Legends Esports history.
