The POI battle between o7 and Elev8 Gaming created one of the most exciting contests in Apex Legends LAN history, but those contests might soon be a thing of the past. ALGS may have changed forever with the recent implementation of a POI draft system—and many pros aren’t happy.
After playing through their first set of competitive scrim matches on May 15 using the new snake draft system, pros shared their thoughts on X (formerly Twitter). The conclusion was rather divisive, where top pros ImperialHal and Zach Mazer strongly disagreed with the new system. Called a “rushed process” by Zach (IGL of E8), he noted the sheer number of complaints in the ALGS Discord Server, where he’d “seen 10x more hate then praise in the feedback channels.”
