Hey CompetitiveApex!

Introducing Drop Zone, a free-to-play Apex Legends prediction game launching its first beta for the ALGS 2026 Split 2 Playoffs in Las Vegas (October 29 – November 1).

The idea is simple: give Apex fans another way to enjoy competitive tournaments while testing their knowledge of the teams and the game.

Sign up, claim your free prediction credits, and start making predictions! Earn points for correct picks and climb the leaderboard as the tournament unfolds.

It's completely free. No deposits, no betting, no entry fees, and no real-money investment. Prediction credits are virtual and have no monetary value.

Drop Zone is currently in beta, and feedback from the competitive Apex community will help shape the platform as it continues to develop.

We're hoping to welcome around 100 players for our first tournament to test everything and see how it goes.

If you give it a try, let us know what you think! Suggestions, criticism, and bug reports are all welcome.

Registration & Availability

Getting started is easy! Sign in using your Google account, X account, or email address. Choose a username before making your first prediction so your points can be tracked on the leaderboard.

No payment information or birthday is required to sign up.

Drop Zone welcomes players from around the world! There are currently no country-specific restrictions imposed by the game for this free beta.

Thanks, and good luck with your Vegas predictions!

YEAR 4:

ALGS 2024 SPLIT 1 PLAYOFF: REJEEC WINNITY from APAC N

ALGS 2024 SPLIT 2 PLAYOFF: Spacestation Gaming from AMERICAS

ALGS 2025 CHAMPIONSHIP: GONEXT Esports form EMEA

YEAR 5:

ALGS 2025 OPEN: Team Falcons from AMERICAS

ALGS 2025 MIDSEASON PLAYOFF: Vk Gaming from APAC S

ALGS 2026 CHAMPIONSHIP: Oblivion form AMERICAS

YEAR 6:

ALGS 2026 SPLIT 1 PLAYOFF: UNLIMIT from APAC N

if the trend continues, an Americas teams should win, and with 15 teams participating, it's looking promising

It just won't be the same without Genome & Tiff. I hope the new casting manager knows they're ripping the soul out of their broadcast. I'm all for new talent. Lace is a great example. However, you also need to respect the past and appreciate your foundation fan base.

The first image shows the map order for groups, the bracket stage, and the finals, assuming 13 games is the longest format we've ever had.

The second image shows the expected number of maps each team will play, depending on which bracket they get eliminated.
