USA, Canada to TWC finals

The third official qualifier for the $100,000 2015 World Championships, which will see 16 national teams receive all-expenses paid trips to the finals on October 8-11 in Belgrade, Serbia, took place in North America with three teams participating.

With both the Oceanic and South American qualifiers having already taken place, and each to the tune of a different format, the North American qualifier also introduced a new format which saw the three teams play double best-of-three matches to determine two teams that would advance.

In the end, Mexico found itself unable to qualify due to the might of its Anglo-Saxon North American counterparts, and the Mexican team only brought one best-of-three series against Canada to a close contest (which included its only won map of the qualifier).

Both series between Canada and the United States came down to the wire, with the teams fielding mixed rosters in between maps that also included players from the female scene.
