HAVOC wins ALGS Year 4 LCQ Finals APAC-S – Destructoid

The ALGS (Apex Legends Global Series) Year 4 LCQ (Last Chance Qualifier) Finals APAC-S is over, and HAVOC has emerged from the carnage as the victors. They fought so incredibly hard all weekend to get into the Finals matches and then pushed as hard as they could to secure this win.

HAVOC fought against 20 other teams across 8 matches in the ALGS Year 4 LCQ Finals APAC-S, Apex Legends‘ esports series, to secure their win. This is no easy feat, especially after a grueling weekend of group stages, eliminations, and the finals at the end, which have their own rules that put everyone on a level playing field to start. The entire set of matches on this final day was incredible because we saw the circle move just about everywhere. Of course, the key takeaway from this is that HAVOC is heading to Japan in 2025 for the ALGS Championships.

Wreaking havoc

HAVOC took the win almost by surprise when we hit match 8. Every caster and viewer, myself included, thought the matches could keep going on until we hit 25, which was the mathematical limit before a winner absolutely had to be crowned.

Havoc pulled out all the stops in this last match, even though other teams, like Kill Devil, were pushing just as hard. In fact, Kill Devil looked like it would take the series with match 8, hot off a win from match 7 and looking as though they were gunning for victory.

The finals for the ALGS Year 4 LCQ Finals APAC-S have been just as exciting as any major LAN event finals. Every team was giving it their all, likely aided by being in familiar settings instead of having to travel around the world to compete together.

For those who don’t understand the rules, the final day of any ALGS event sees every team start at 0 points. Over the course of every match, placements and kills earn a team points. Once a team hits 50 points, they can then win the entire tournament if they win the following match, or any subsequent matches.

The goal of the ALGS Year 4 LCQ Finals APAC-S was to give teams an opportunity to secure their place in the ALGS YEar 4 Championships. The prize pool for the next major LAN is $2 million, so even a portion of that could go a long way for any of the pros playing today.

Between now and the ALGS Year 4 Championships, we have the entire BLGS series to look forward to. A smaller competition runs for five weeks to keep us in the mood for more ALGS gameplay as everything gets set up before getting underway for what might be the biggest ALGS Championships ever next year.
