Falcons’ swift comeback stunned rivals, sealing ALGS glory with style 

Team Falcons clinched the ALGS 2025 Open title in New Orleans, overcoming early setbacks to dominate the finals. After being relegated to the Elimination Round on Day 2, the trio of ImperialHal, Zer0, and Wxltzy surged back, amassing 70 points in the Match Point Finals. Their victory was sealed in just six games, one of the fastest LAN final wins in ALGS history.

The tournament introduced significant changes, including a 160-team format without group stages, a new hero ban system, and the debut of the Broken Moon map. These additions tested teams' adaptability, with high-mobility legends like Bangalore and Valkyrie proving advantageous on the new map.  

Viewership peaked at 249,547 concurrent viewers, totaling over 4.6 million hours watched, making it the most-watched Apex Legends event of 2025 so far. English broadcasts accounted for over half the viewership, with Japanese streams following, reflecting Japan's strong player representation. 

With this win, Team Falcons not only secured a $300,000 prize but also solidified their status as a dominant force in Apex Legends esports. They, along with Alliance, Al Qadsiah, 100 Thieves, and Shopify Rebellion, advance to the ALGS 2025 Midseason Playoffs, where a $1 million prize pool awaits.
