WESG Americas Regional Finals moved online
AliSports, the division of the Alibaba Group that is behind the WESG tournament series, have announced that the WESG Americas Regional LAN Finals will be moving online, "due to the current migration policy of the USA".
The organizer announced that the amount of prize money up for the taking and spots to the World Finals will remain the same — however because of ping considerations, the once combined event will now be split into separate North and South American qualifiers. Because the Brazilians of SK Gaming in fact live in the United States, they will participate in the North America qualifier.
With the changes, the team list for WESG North America now breaks down as follows:
| Male | Female |
 Cloud9 |
CLG Red |
| Mythic |
Freedom Fraggers |
| Swole Patrol |
American Eagles |
 FRENCH CANADIANS |
Those Damn Canadians |
| subtLe |
Poutine Puggers |
 Mexico |
|
 SK |
The North America male qualifier will now feature five spots to the WESG Grand Finals, and $37,500 on offer. The North America female qualifier will only send one team to the Grand Finals, and have a prize pool of $8,000.
The team list for WESG South America is as follows:
| Male | Female |
 Isurus |
Keyd Stars fe |
| One |
 NOXIUM fe |
 Vault |
Primadonna |
 Elite Wolves |
|
| rEAK |
The South America Regionals will offer the same prize distribution as North America, with the exception being that only three of the male teams will advance to the World Finals.
