Over 30,000 people are set to attend the ALGS Championship in Sapporo, Japan

EA have revealed that the ALGS Championship in Sapporo, Japan is set to be the biggest ever LAN event in the games history. Organisers are expecting more than 30,000 people across the five-day event.

This is the first time there has ever been an ALGS LAN event in Asia. Apex Legends has remained hugely popular in the region, and this is reflected in the ticket sales for the event.

The previous record for ALGS tickets was set in Los Angeles, but according to EA staff, Sapporo will have three times the audience than that event.

There was huge demand for an ALGS LAN event to be held in Asia ever since the ALGS started. Events have pinged between Europe and North America over the previous four years. However, things finally aligned for the event to be held in Asia for the first time.

EA's Jasmine Chaing told esports.gg back in July that their reaction upon seeing the venue was "Oh my God, this is it."

The event aligns also with the games six year anniversary, and will wrap up a hugely successful year of ALGS competition. The gap between events was filled by another successful series, the BLGS, that has kept the ball rolling for Apex competitors.

Now, EA have revealed that the ALGS Year 4 Championship is set to break records for attendees. This will hopefully be reflected in overall viewership for the event too.

It was clear very early on that this event was the subject of huge interest. Tickets flew off the shelves, with the ALGS team having to make more avaliable. There are still tickets remaining, meaning the number of attendees may further exceed the 30,000 mark.

Apex has never seen an event of this scale before. You can get get tickets here if you want to be part of Apex history.
