USA qualify for TWC 2016

The next regional qualifier for the eight team, $150,000 World Championship 2016 (taking place in Belgrade, Serbia from October 5-9) was the North American qualifier and it was the expected regional heavyweights of the United States of America and Canada that made it to the best-of-five grand final of the qualifier.

With both sides bringing extremely skill-stacked lineups out for the grand final, the first map of Dust2 at first had Canada's footprint on it until Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin and his team edged out the map in overtime 19-16.

With the red, white and blue team then taking the second map of Cache with a comfortable 16-9 scoreline, it came down to Cobblestone and here Team USA was again victorious with a 16-12 victory and thus qualified for the World Championship finals in Belgrade over their northern neighbours with a 3-0 victory.
