Both MVP PK and GOSU put up a solid performance that ensured their qualification for the Asia Minor.

Middle East Closed Qualifier
exDT came all the way through the Middle East Online Qualifier 1 to compete at the Closed Qualifier where they dominated every team they faced. They qualified for the Asia Minor pretty comfortably, dropping just a single match in the entire process. They are surely a team to look out for on the way ahead.
The next team for the Asia Minor is exDT coming from the Middle East qualifier! Two more teams to go to complete the Asia Minor lineup, coming from the Oceania qualifier this weekend. #IEM Katowice 2019 #CSGO Major

China Closed Qualifier
ViCi Gaming made it through to the Minor via the Upper Bracket while CyberZen took the road less travelled, fighting their way through the Lower Bracket after dropping a game against Sparta Gaming quite early in the qualifier.
SEA Closed Qualifier
Beyond Esports faced strong teams like Signature Gaming and B.O.O.T-d[S] on their way ahead while also besting TNC not once but twice to ascertain their dominance and qualify for the minor.
