ALGS Split 2 Playoffs date and location revealed

The ALGS Split 2 Playoffs will be returning to the Copper Box, and will be held between July 13 and 16.

The ALGS Split 2 Playoffs will be held at the Copper Box London, between July 13 to 16.

Despite the location being the same as the Split 1 Playoffs, EA are making an adjustment to the event. All games will now be broadcast on the main stage. This means the infamous 'B Stage' is no more. A change likely to be incredibly popular with both players and fans.

Tickets go on sale May 15th, and will be available via eventbrite.

EA are also promising more fan engagement opportunities at the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs. "Meet and greets, giveaways and more" will be on offer for fans who attend.

ALGS Split 2 Playoffs return to the Copperbox

The Copper Box will be familiar to Apex Legends fans. The former Olympic venue was also the location of the Split 1 Playoffs back in February. The playoffs will now be a full four day affair, to account for the extra time needed to feature all group stage matches on the main stage.

All matches taking place on the main stage will mean that the popular command centre is in action for every game of the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs.
