Kings, B.O.O.T

The past week saw eight more teams confirmed at the WESG 2017 Asia-Pacific Regional Finals in Jiaozhou, China.

In the South Asia & South East-Asia qualifier, the Vietnamese duo GameTV and UTM clutched the two spots for their overseas trip, with Cong "⁠crazyguy⁠" Anh Ngo's new roster defeating his former UTM crew in the grand final.

Next up was the New Zealand & Pacific Islands qualifier, that saw a mixed squad consisting of Tainted Minds' Chris "⁠ofnu⁠" Hanley and Ryan "⁠zewsy⁠" Palmer, SYF members Razmik "⁠RaZ⁠" Bastadjan and Egor "⁠LONSDALE⁠" Baranov, and current Kings AWPer Simon "⁠Sico⁠" Williams win the event under the Parallax banner.

Meanwhile, Kings and pork (now known as Control) grabbed the two international spots on offer in the Australian qualifier. BOOT-d[S] won the Singapore qualifier as expected, including a walkover in the grand final as their opposition was forced to forfeit due to an event clash.

Hansel "⁠BnTeT⁠" Ferdinand's former teammates in Recca won the Indonesian qualifier with ease, alongside Mineski who dominated the Philippines qualifier in convincing fashion.

Here are the current participants for the WESG 2017 Asia-Pacific Regional Finals on January 11-14, with six more spots left to be completed:
