Flash to miss WESG APAC Regional Finals

6/1/2018 - 08:30

Flash Gaming have confirmed that they will skip WESG Asia-Pacific Regional Finals due to a schedule conflict with the ELEAGUE Major, HLTV.org has learned.

The confirmation follows Flash's decision to replace TYLOO at the ELEAGUE Major 2018 Main Qualifier, an event that will run from January 12-15, whilst the WESG Asia-Pacific Regional Finals will take place on January 11-14, causing a schedule clash for the Chinese squad.

Flash pull out of WESG APAC Regional Finals

Considered as one of the favorites to qualify for the WESG 2017 World Finals from the region, Flash will miss out on attending the event after reigning Major champions Gambit revealed yesterday that they could not participate too, due to visa issues.

This leaves WESG Asia-Pacific Regional Finals with eighteen teams for the event at Fangyuan Sports Centre held in Jiaozhou, Qingdao, China. You can see the current list of teams below:

New4	Fire Dragoon
SCARZ Absolute	Chosen5
Parallax	ORDER
Control	GameTV
UTM	Recca
BOOT-d[S]	Mineski
MVP PK	LEOPARD
NSPR	EMC
Wolfhound	Portal

Withdraw from USD 1.5m tournament that they actually have a good chance of winning if not at least do well at, to play in a USD 1m major where they are sure to bomb out 0-3 in the qualifier and they are not even gettin* sticker money

C9 and VP are both T1. Big and Envy are both T2.

VP and C9 never ever close to SK,Astralis or FaZe in bo3 or bo5 then how the fuck they tier1? :D

They are both frequently invited teams at Tier 1 events, how are they not Tier 1?

2018-01-06 15:12

with this logic top15 is tier1 for you?

2018-01-06 15:13

With this logic any team that is invited to a Tier 1 event is a Tier 1 team.

You are both Tier 1 as long as you are invited to the same Tier 1 tournament :).

so HR is tier1 for you to or Navi? :D or every trash tier2-3 teams? :D

2018-01-06 15:23

I don't think Tier 2 or 3 teams are Tier 1, that would be kind of weird. NaVi is definately a Tier 1 team, Hellraisers doesn't really get too many invites.

2018-01-06 15:24

ahh ok you are hopeless :D if you think Navi tier1 :D:D:D:D im out! /closed

2018-01-06 15:25

NaVi is definately Tier 1.

dude plz, just stop... You're ashaming that you're registered to be registered to HLTV with such acknowledge. What is tier 1 for you ? SK, Astralis and FaZe only ? get out of here lmao

2018-01-06 20:09

yes... for me only the top4-5 is tier1.. bcs they are real contenders for thropies.... jokes like Envy,VP,Navi this type of teams not even close to tier1 anyway

2018-01-06 23:05

ok, just shut up. It's done already

2018-01-06 23:09

if you read my last comment... its closed... you started it again so fuck off.. dont talk with me like this im not your mum

2018-01-07 00:33

ok, so bring your t1 teams so that we can agree with you.

2018-01-15 17:30

2018-01-06 17:37

You realize that sk are attending right?

2018-01-07 07:07

ye i realize now... im wrong only one tier1 team attend sorry :)

2018-01-07 12:09

1,5 million for Global WESG, not for asia minor quals

2018-01-06 13:09

?? Major=stickers=guaranteed easy money if you think that's the only thing driving them.

2018-01-06 13:43

They have stickers, so they also have sticker money.... But I agree, in WESG they have at least a chance. But major is major, soo..

2018-01-06 16:41

Pau no cu do first

2018-01-06 19:42

Because they play major that’s why. Same reason with Gambit

2018-01-06 08:32

Nope, Gambit doesn't play the Major until January 19-22. Just WESG representatives failing to send the documents they needed to acquire their visas.

2018-01-06 08:40

Yes WESG representatives are worst !! They are failled to send the documents to many other teams like PORTAL from Pakistan!! Portal is also having visa issue maybe not particpate in event :/ Their visa is denied once now they are trying by their own :(
