40 teams are playing in the ALGS Split 1 Playoffs with over 20 countries represented. Which are the top three countries by player number?
40 teams will be competing in the Apex Legends Global Series tomorrow in London for the ALGS Year 3 Split 1 Playoffs. But where are all the players from? How global is this Global Series anyway? And which countries are represented the most?
ALGS Split 1 Playoffs by the numbers
The top three countries based on representation are the United States (22 players), Japan (18 players), and South Korea (12 players). Six countries (Belarus, Iraq, Poland, Slovenia, Ukraine, and Austria) only have a single player for representation. However, despite the United States overwhelmingly taking the top spot, over twenty countries will be represented at the 2023 Playoffs.
Despite the overwhelming number from the United States, APAC North is well represented with Japan and South Korea making up the entirety of their player base. This will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the region’s success and celebration of esports in the past decade. Perhaps the February Playoffs will be the beginning of APAC South’s reign in competitive Apex Legends.

A home field advantage for the ALGS Split 1 Playoffs?
The EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Asia) region consists of ten teams. Within those ten teams, six of them have at least one player from the United Kingdom. Vexed Gaming, Alliance, IG Intl, Pioneers, Element 6, and VZN all have a British connection, but one team has made a splash in recent tournaments.
Placing third in the 2022 Split 1 Pro League last December, Vexed Gaming is certainly a team worth keeping an eye on with Tyler Wood. They have played consistently throughout Pro Leagues,even winning a game in Decemberto secure their place at LAN. Hopefully playing on their home turf will give them the edge to contest the dominant NA teams onFeb. 2, especially since the whole team has been training for this tournament in Manchester at the Vexed HQ.
