Apex Legends Esports World Cup 2024: Alliance Takes the Crown

The Apex Legends Esports World Cup 2024 ended with Alliance winning the championship after a grueling seven-hour grand final. They earned an impressive $600,000 from the $2 million prize pool and 1,000 club points.

The European team, featuring veterans “Hakis” and “Effect” along with their newest member “unlucky,” made history as the first major title winners from the EMEA region at EWC.

What Made the Grand Final So Intense?

The grand final was a nail-biting affair that kept fans on the edge of their seats for 7 long hours. Here’s a breakdown of the epic showdown:

• The final stretched across 13 maps, as match point-eligible teams struggled to clinch the decisive win.
• Heading into the final game, 12 teams were match point-eligible, meaning any of them could have claimed the title with a win.
• Final Three: The last game came down to Luminosity Gaming, Team Liquid, and Alliance.

Despite strong competition from Luminosity Gaming and Team Liquid, Alliance’s strategic play and teamwork in the final moments secured them the victory.
