The rest of the WESG qualifiers for the Asia-Pacific region kicked off this month after Flash and New4 secured their position in the APAC Finals early, via the Chinese qualifiers in September. In the Malaysia qualifier, Fire Dragoon went undefeated in their group 3-0. Idzni "Click-" Rosdi and co. cruised past Orange and Karnal in two straight maps during the playoffs, and became the third team to secure their APAC Finals spot. Followed by the West Asia qualifier, HellRaisers' Issa "ISSAA" Murad played for Chosen5 and just barely managed to scrape through, after outlasting RvN and Iraq in the semi-final and grand final 2-1, respectively. Gambit are favourites to win the WESG APAC Finals again
