WESG World Finals groups drawn

3-3-2018 12:13

The draw for the first group stage of the WESG World Finals has taken place, with the 32 teams having been split into eight groups.

As announced on Friday, the main WESG event will kick off with two round-robin group stages, the first of which featuring eight groups of four teams.

SK have been drawn in Group D, alongside the new BIG roster, Mihail "⁠Dosia⁠" Stolyarov's Russia mix, and Chinese side New4. Group C also looks very stacked on paper, featuring ViCi and two strong mixtures, Kévin "⁠Ex6TenZ⁠" Droolans's Belgium and Oscar "⁠mixwell⁠" Cañellas's Wololos.

SK have one of the toughest groups at WESG

The WESG World Finals will take place at the Haikou International Convention & Exhibition Cente from March 13-18, with $1.5 million on offer.

Below you can find the group draw in full:

Group A	Group B

Indeed, I have no idea why Astralis and North did not attend. Heroic could'nt beacuse they had MODDII

sad

2018-03-03 12:59

Because this is a meaningless event with only big prize money and the teams already have many Lan events etc.

2018-03-03 13:06

Astralis was doing their homeworks for major but idk why north didnt attend

2018-03-03 13:11

schedule conflict with blast copenhagen

2018-03-03 13:45

Yes. Even do WESG has a huge prize pool I do think they want to attend an event in their home country instead of China.

fnatic were without Krimz

2018-03-03 13:07

Fnatic always hardest groups rule still stays true in this Tier 99 tournament

2018-03-03 14:36

I think that they're fully capable of doing great things if they prepare well for this tournament.

2018-03-03 15:48

lets be real ,they might beat bravado but its unlikely we can see how bravado is doing in na atm , beating envyus is out of question , beating ukraine is also out of question , they might get some rounds, i don't want to be pessimistic but the truth have to be spoken

Bravado is playing like ass in ECS atm they lost to CoL 2-0 last night

2018-03-03 20:35

WHAT? hltv.org/matches/2320289/complexity-vs-b..

2018-03-03 12:44

group d most exciting ... depends how big is able to deliver against russia ... the rest has always 2 clear favourites

I can't fucking believe these groups LMAO. Did they just draw them at random? Seems like it. NOREG actually have a MASSIVE chance at some money here, they should be able to win that group

2018-03-03 12:47

Group G death hole

2018-03-03 12:51

not at all, easy c9 and fnatic, group D = Death

2018-03-03 13:04

2018-03-03 13:38

Fucking rigged groups. WTF are those????

Those teams lol, so much prizemoney wasted.

all the top teams also could go but they all chose to go to blast instead which was at the same time as the eu qualifier

Everyone in your team needs to be from the same country. That's why FaZe and mouz etc. could not attend.

2018-03-03 14:00

Exactly for them it was too much of a hassle just for tournament. Astralis, G2, North and NiP skipped because of blast and FaZe probably because it would be too much of a hassle.

2018-03-03 14:04

they decided to play blast ? hello

2018-03-03 14:03

2018-03-03 14:33

Damn so ez for EnVyUs

I thought only singlenation teams can compete. Then why is envy allowed to play with scream?

I think it's just a mistake, if i remember well they were playing with Kio on Europe finals

yeah i think its wrong scream is in Team Belgium if i remember right

Same thing with order 1 player from New Zealand when all should be from Australia

2018-03-03 14:55

this groups are so random and unbalanced!! WTF :D RIP BIG!! group D is the hardest while A,F and H are a fucking joke!!!

yepp. what a bad draw. do they not think about something like this

Good Luck Algeria, Belgium and space soldiers

omg isurus vs SS

Lets go Wololos! Make Iberia decent again!

2018-03-03 14:43

If SK does not win disban ... the only strong team in the wesg is cloud9

Absolutely horrible groupings. Must have been randmized.

I have exactly same thought.

2018-03-03 15:00

anyone else noticed that Order has 1 player from New Zealand and all 5 players should be from the same country. WESG fix this pls

Malta from chiefs will play for sico as he did in qualifiers. Burn played too but that was before ORDER got alistair and only had 4 players so probably ali will play in the finals. Hltv probably didn't put it because it automatically puts the last played roster when they select a team.

2018-03-03 15:39

Anyone knows if EnVyUs is supposed to play with the complete rooster that managed to qualify for wesg, or they can use hadji and add Sixer or xms to replace ScreaM. Ty

2018-03-03 15:45

most likely sixer will stand in for them since he is still contracted to envyus

2018-03-03 15:51

SK have one of the toughest groups at WESG BUG/CYKA BLYAT MIX/BOOTS/CHINA TIER3
