After 2 years working on the #ALGS, I have taken the decision to leave EA. I’m super proud to have played a part in the growth of the league over the past few years, and excited to watch ALGS Year 4 as a fan. Thanks to all of the players, teams, and my colleagues for being great!

And of course, a special shout out to my partner in crime from EE, @holbrookstace who killed it this weekend, and all year

With the #ALGS Year 3 Championship wrapped up, that’s the end of ALGS Year 3, and we definitely couldn’t have asked for a better end to the season. This also marks my second year with the @PlayApexEsports team at EA, and I’m so excited for Year 4, but for now, a family vacation..

@TheeTabris @clovisdelmotte @AnekoMerkki don’t lie to the man

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

@clovisdelmotte @AnekoMerkki be quiet

@hodsic @_minustempo @PlayApexEsports @HMGaming We shared this in the Pro League Discord earlier this month, but we actually won't be requiring coaches to stay seated at the Split 2 Playoffs, just within a (larger) marked area behind their team to avoid any competitive integrity concerns.

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

@Proficiency_ @chris_pipher The 4 winners of each CC tournament in Split 2 qualify for the LCQ + an undetermined number of teams (all non-qualified Champs teams from the Pro League) qualify via points which we'll announce following the Split 2 Playoffs, and all remaining slots are filled by top CC teams.

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

@OfficialiiNK @Cutnoid @Falloutt The methodology being used is described in 3.3.3 in the Official Rules.

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

@coldjyn Got it. Well, if it’s a UI/UX or process issue rather than disagreeing with the rules, then I’d rather put our focus into making the process better for the players and coaches rather than changing the rules, so let me chat with the team.

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

@coldjyn For sure. Let’s chat once we’ve both recovered from the Playoffs, but definitely would like to hear your thoughts.

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

@coldjyn I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on how that would look. It’s my opinion that the team that participates in the Playoffs should be the team that qualified (assuming no emergencies or exigent circumstances) but curious to see how much flexibility you’d like to have?

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

@coldjyn With regards to those coaches, ultimately, they follow the same process as their players to join the roster and be recognised as a member of the team, but if they’re ever confused about the process, they should ask us.

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

@JosephRLynch @united @Heathrow Our conversation about this last night manifested an upgrade for you!

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

@coldjyn Do you share the same opinion about the roster lock for players? Do you think a team should be able change the roster so that it differs from the team that qualified?

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

That’s a wrap for the #ALGS Year 3 Split 1 Playoffs, thanks to all of the teams, staff, partners and fans for making it one to remember, and a special shout-out to all of the admins and the League Ops team for putting up with me!

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

@Exodus_txt Unfortunately, you attempted to join the roster on January 23rd, 2023, when the roster lock for your region took place on December 6th, 2022 which covers all coaches and players as covered in the rules.

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

@Exodus_txt @Sentinels The team you are referring to didn't make any roster changes for the Split 1 Playoffs.

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

@Gnaske_Lone Top 20 teams advance to the Regional Finals, with the winner of the Regional Finals automatically qualifying for the Split 1 Playoffs, and the next 4 teams (ranked by points in regular season) also qualify. The RF award points like every other series (25, 21, 18, 16 etc).

[Daniel Davis @Daniel_J_Davis]

@PVPX_ Sorry for the confusion, but the rules haven't changed, your coach can still be listed as a fourth player and act as a coach in matches that they're not playing in.
