Registration for WESG US and Canada qualifiers is open
WorldGaming have opened registration for both the WESG USA and WESG Canada qualifiers. As in previous years, the event will feature both co-ed and female events. The winners of each region will go on to represent their respective country in Shanghai in March 2019.
Both regions will have different schedules and prize pools for the qualifiers with Canada's online qualifiers happening first. Online Qualifier A will happen on September 15th, with Online Qualifier B happening on the 22nd. The winners of each qualifier will automatically proceed to the Canadian Finals. The Online Playoffs will consist of the next four teams across both qualifiers, ranked by points, and take place on October 6th. ESEA Advanced team and Fragadelphia attendees Grizzlys have already signed up for the event.
The prizepool for the Canadian Finals looks as follows:
