ASUS ROG Winter 2020 set to start

ASUS ROG Winter 2020 is scheduled to kick off on Thursday, February 20, with eight contestants vying for over $13,000 in prize money.

The Helsinki event will feature a number of local representatives, most notably HAVU, who are currently ranked 32nd in the world and finished runners-up to FORZE in the recent ESEA MDL Europe Finals.

The event will begin with a GSL group stage, on Thursday and Friday, followed by the single-elimination, best-of-three, playoffs on Saturday.

sAw and company will look to secure the ASUS ROG Winter trophy

Eetu "⁠sAw⁠" Saha's troops will be joined in Group B by fellow Finnish sides KOVA, who recently made headlines after securing a spot in the closed qualifier for the Europe Minor, and KYNYNIEKAT, featuring Finnish prodigy Elias "⁠Jamppi⁠" Olkkonen. Rounding out the group is the new LDLC squad, sporting the ex-Envy duo of Christophe "⁠SIXER⁠" Xia and Ali "⁠hAdji⁠" Haïnouss.

FATE are the highest-ranked team in Group A and will be going up against REHTI, who feature Jere "⁠sergej⁠" Salo's younger sibling, Jimi "⁠Jimpphat⁠" Salo. SJ, who were runners-up to KOVA at last year's Assembly Summer event, will face hREDS in their opening clash of the tournament.
