Apex Legends pros slam ALGS after high-end PCs delay ahead of Split 2 Playoffs EAApex Legends pros are sounding off ahead of the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs after tournament organizers, EA, reportedly failed to secure high-end PC equipment promised for the $1,000,000 LAN. Members across TSM, GMT, Alliance, and more reacted to EA\u2019s apparent decision to renege on its commitment of providing machines built with RTX 3080s and 11th Gen i7s in time for the April 29 kickoff. Two days before Day 1 of ALGS, orgs got the word that the event was going back to its original offering of PCs with RTX 2070s that pros and team managers agreed would not suffice. The years-old equipment was a major point of concern when it was announced, forcing EA to switch it up on April 21 by notifying teams of the imminent upgrade. Apex Legends pros slam \u2018last-second switch\u2019 TSM Mac \u2018Albralelie\u2019 Beckwith didn\u2019t mince words after the ALGS tournament organizer (TO) told his team that they shouldn\u2019t expect to play with upgraded equipment. \u201cIt was initially fixed,\u201d he said on Twitter. \u201cWe were told new PCs would be provided. Today while all teams are bootcamping, playing on high-spec rigs with great performance, we are told that PCs will not be upgraded. \u201cPathetic from a company as large as EA.\u201d Read more: ALGS Split 2 Playoffs rewards – Others in the Apex pro scene shared Albralelie\u2019s disappointment after coming to terms with disparity between equipment in the practice room and the Stage 2 Playoffs rigs. \u201cThis announcement just got reverted and we\u2019re back to the original low spec PCs to celebrate the first Apex LAN in 2.5 years,\u201d Alliance Apex Manager Pontus Bengtsson said. \u201cSad and frustrating that all players will be limited on showing off their hard work they\u2019ve put up over the past 2 years of ALGS competition. Big L.\u201d Last second switch back to shit PCs let\u2019s gooooo I\u2019m glad I\u2019m playing at a bootcamp that has max specs but not a million dollar LAN!!! \u2014 ImperialHal (@ImperialHal) April 27, 2022 \u201cGeForce RTX 2070 Super was announced on July 9, 2019\u201d That was before X Games on a client where we already had lots of Wattson HUD bugs. Pro Meta now contains a lot of \u201cability legends\u201d so if you don\u2019t have the latest specs you barely can get stable 190+ FPS. Unacceptable. \u2014 Alliance | Pontus \ud83c\udfcc\ud83c\udffc\u2642\ufe0f (@chefPontus) April 27, 2022 The news sent shockwaves to an Apex community that has been recovering from EA\u2019s previous debacle after it was confirmed that travel expenses wouldn\u2019t be covered for all ALGS players who qualified for a LAN. Similar to the question about high-end PCs, the company later announced an about-face to that decision as backlash started to mount. This time, however, EA is yet to address the latest reactions from its ALGS members, and has not responded to Dexerto\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
