Apex Legends pros call out ALGS for TSM favoritism & not spectating other teams ALGS \/ RespawnA number of Apex Legends pros, including XSET\u2019s Haris \u2018hodsic\u2019 Hodzic, have called out the ALGS for TSM favoritism and not spectating other pro players at the ongoing ALGS Split 1 Playoffs in London. The ALGS Split 1 Playoff kicked off in London on February 2. The event sees the best Apex Legends teams from around the world compete for their share of the $1 million prize pool. Day 1 wrapped with XSET impressing, dropping 16 kills in Round One and 14 kills in Round Two. However, following the conclusion of the day\u2019s play, XSET\u2019s hodsic was less than impressed after discovering the official ALGS stream hadn\u2019t shown any of the team\u2019s kills. Instead, it had focused on TSM \u2013 who finished Round One second with 9 kills as a unit. XSET hodsic hits out at ALGS TSM favoritism In a tweet late on February 2, hodsic criticized the ALGS for focusing too much on TSM, especially given how well he and his teammates were playing. \u201cI genuinely understand that TSM gets a lot of coverage,\u201d he said, \u201cbecause they hold probably like 90% of the competitive Apex fanbase\u2026 but comments like these just make me sad. 16 kills game 1 and people never even saw them.\u201d Attached were comments from viewers who, like hodsic himself, were disappointed at the lack of coverage that was given to XSET and their dominant performance. A number of Apex Legends pro dropped into offer their thoughts, with many echoing hodsic\u2019s comments. 100 Thieves pro Alex \u2018scuwry\u2019 Scala said that, at the previous ALGS LAN event, his team were \u201cshifted\u2026 to B stage because they wanted TSM on main the whole event\u201d. Similarly, FURIA\u2019s Nelson \u2018Xera\u2019 Medina, said: \u201cnow that you mention it, that\u2019s so true LMAO I don\u2019t think I saw your guys\u2019 POV at all that game.\u201d TSM\u2019s own Head of Global Social, Dunc, said that he \u201cfelt real bad\u201d to see XSET doing so well and not getting corresponding coverage on stream. It\u2019s certainly a tough line for the ALGS to toe. If a large portion of the audience is tuning in to see their favorite TSM stars competing, then it makes sense to placate them and focus on TSM\u2019s POV in-game. However, it\u2019s also valid to say that in an ALGS tournament based on kills and placement, it\u2019s probably pertinent to give coverage to the teams leading the way and boasting the most exciting gameplay. ALGS Playoff Split 1 will finish on February 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
