EMEA underdogs GoNext made history at the ALGS Y4 Championship finals, securing a stunning victory that demonstrated the region's competitive strength. The team, featuring the veteran duo of Hiarka and Uxako who have played together since early 2021, alongside teammate zhidan, completed an impressive upper bracket run to claim the title.

The championship match was intensely competitive, with nine teams qualifying for match nine after reaching the 50-point threshold. While Alliance and Team Falcons were first to achieve match point in five games, they couldn't secure the victory.

The final moments proved particularly dramatic, with Luminosity Gaming's sweetdreams narrowly missing his first LAN victory. Alliance secured a strong second-place finish, earning $320,000 despite coming agonizingly close to winning consecutive games.

GoNext's victory hinged on superior positioning and strategic use of their Catalyst pick. From a defensive position in a caravan, they effectively split the final zone using Catalyst's abilities, creating crucial breathing room before eliminating Virtus.pro and Luminosity.

This victory marks the fourth different team to win a LAN in ALGS Year 4, highlighting the competitive depth of professional Apex Legends. As Hiarka proudly declared in the post-match interview, "These boys are the best team in the world. We came into here being underdogs and we left as champions."
