ENC27 - APEX LEGENDS

Invites & Qualifications

• Direct Invites (Top 20 Countries): The top 20 performing countries will receive a direct invitation based on country performance, not specific team rosters.

Roster Selection: To determine which roster represents a qualified country, teams must compete in their respective regional qualifiers. The highest-placing roster from that nation will earn the spot.

• Rankings & Cut-off: Country rankings are determined by the total ALGS Championship Points accumulated by all players representing that nation. The final ranking cut-off is July 12, 2026, immediately following the conclusion of the Split 1 Playoffs.

A total of 18 slots will be awarded through regional qualifiers:

• Americas: 6 slots

• EMEA: 9 slots
