Notable teams in the qualifiers
From India, LXG, Signify and ROG Titans seem to be the 3 top contenders. From Pakistan, we see Portal Esports and Prometheus Gaming as the 2 big names in the list of teams that have already registered. Currently, only 18 teams have registered out of a possible 512. Considering that the number of countries itself is 22, the number seems pretty paltry. We urge teams from all of the above-mentioned nations to try and register for the event. A chance to represent your country doesn’t come easily but with WESG it is possible.
