Both Chinese teams have secured their spot to the $100,000 event, with 5POWER coming out victorious over Flash in the three-map grand final at eXTREMESLAND 2018 China Regional Finals.

Many familiar names from the Chinese scene were present at the four-team event held in Suzhou, China, featuring former members of TYLOO, including the likes of QiFang "⁠Karsa⁠" Su's EHOME, Bin "⁠Savage⁠" Liu's CyberZen, and YuanZhang "⁠Attacker⁠" Sheng's Flash.

In the BO3 double-elimination competition, Mongolian-powered 5POWER advanced to the grand final after cruising past CyberZen in their opening series and Flash in the upper bracket final, with 2-0 victories.

EHOME was the first team to be sent home early following defeats against Flash and the Zhen "⁠HZ⁠" Huang-less CyberZen, with the latter two duking it out in the consolidation final.

YuLun "⁠Summer⁠" Cai's side prevailed in the 2-0 series and secured the qualification spot to the main tournament held on October 18-21.

In the grand final, Gan-Erdene "⁠dobu⁠" Batbold and co. snatched away their opponent's map pick on Dust2, 16-10, thanks to an 11-4 half on the CT side. Flash traded it for the second map and won 16-13 on Mirage.

In the deciding map, 5POWER crushed Flash in a one-sided show on Cache despite YangYang "⁠ayaya⁠" Zheng clutching a 1v3 situation at 15-2, only to prolong the inevitable 16-3 result.

It hurts watching Flash failing all the time. Man, I love this team, but they play far below their actual skill-level. Do some european bootcamp, or even CIS or NA.

They were doing better with Karsa, it’s sad that they didn’t do well with Freeman and zhoking, I always thought Karsa,AttackeR, summer, zhoking and Freeman was the correct line up. FeelsBadMan -LOVEYY +IGL

tbh, I wouldn't remove LOVEYY, he's one of the best available Chinese out there. It's kind of sad that they are limited in communication, otherwise they could've looked for some English-speaking dude.
