Four of the world's current top-six teams are now confirmed to play at the $500,000 tournament in November.

Astralis are the final team confirmed to compete at the CS:GO Asia Championships, an eight-team $500,000 tournament taking place in Shanghai, China, on November 8-12.

Currently ranked sixth-best in the world by HLTV following their run to the semi-finals at IEM Cologne last month, the Danes join some of the other world's best teams on the list: G2, ENCE, FaZe, MOUZ, and Liquid.

CS:GO Asia Championships returns with $500,000 Shanghai event

5yclone and Lynn Vision clinched the only two qualifying spots on offer after the two Chinese teams came out on top of the Perfect World Arena Premier League S5.

The complete participants' list of the Shanghai event looks as follows:

Although the name of the tournament suggests it will be held in CS:GO, the organizers have told HLTV that it is expected to be held in CS2, if the new game officially launches by that time.

Nice

2023-09-04 11:48

2023-09-04 16:02

my comment still stands

2023-09-04 17:49

Mickey mouse event Ence taking it EZ. No vitality not interesting

2023-09-04 11:04

i guess they're going for the viewership

2023-09-04 11:05

What viewership? Bandwagon astralis fans left them a long time ago.

2023-09-04 15:15

I mean come on there is at least device there so to some degree yeah.

2023-09-05 06:26

MOUZ was the last winner of the Asia Championships so that was probably why they got invited.

2023-09-04 13:23

ZywOo is big in Asia in general (maybe not in China but in South Korea yes)

Korea??? Do they even watch CS?

2023-09-04 15:33

You'd be surprised at the amount of people playing CS in internet cafes over there, they're just bad I have a friend who went to LoL park with a VIT jersey and everyone was basically telling him "Vitality good ZywOo"

2023-09-04 15:35

I thought it'd be completely dead over there due to VALORANT and lack of interest :v

2023-09-04 15:37

no they do nnot

2023-09-04 16:43

lol for sure not. heroic and vitality just probably declined invite

2023-09-04 11:36

yeah probably makes more sense

vita did, don't know about heroic

I'm sure they got an invitation as well

2023-09-04 11:21

They probably declined and prepare for blast finals. Almost same prizepool and less travel

2023-09-04 11:37

Vitality+Heroic fantasy abusers in shambles

2023-09-04 12:21

Insider info botsteka left Mongolz

2023-09-04 15:29

I'm sure they'll find another very good player soon

2023-09-04 15:31

2023-09-04 13:22

Great this will be the first big tournament in Asia I will watch. Hopefully big crowd and all

2023-09-04 13:47

iirc G2 and faze have huge fan base in china

2023-09-04 14:03

weird. I thought Device didnt want these long flights.

2023-09-04 13:54

Maybe he just hates Australia.

2023-09-04 15:12

Y’er. Thats gotta be it

2023-09-05 11:53

Maybe they only wanted to do one long flight so they picked this tournament instead as it’s easier to win.

Great!!! Let's Go!!!!

mfw, no heroic

Fuck yeah unexpected but very exciting

2023-09-04 15:14

CSGO Asia Championship with a quarter of the participating teams from asia. 🤔

2023-09-04 15:26

Deceptive comment. Theres only 8 teams so a quarter isn't much. Also, whats wrong with Asia championship containing only a quarter Asian teams?

Well when I clicked on this, I thought it's a championship for asian teams. Thus I expected more of them. It's not like it's a problem, just not what I expected personally.

2023-09-04 15:51

There's a true asian championship called extreme land

2023-09-15 03:42

WHERE IS BRAZIL????? WTF GUYS? LOOK TO AMERICAS!

Lmao Free win for GODS2

2023-09-04 16:28

asia with europe team hahaha

2023-09-04 16:32

They should just invite NA or Brazil/SA team instead Astralis because at least China can get 1 win.

2023-09-04 18:45

they'll just cheer for G2 instead lmao.

2023-09-04 22:03

Wtf no cloud9????

2023-09-04 21:03

if G2 don't choke (like a lot of times they did) it's ez for them

2023-09-05 00:50

they'll get a crowd buff, China loves G2 for whatever reason :v

2023-09-05 03:37

ahhaha nice tier 5 event KEKW

2023-09-05 03:51

HONESTLY !! i wanted to see top 4 asian team at this tournment atox, lvg, syclone, mongolz, and 1 na team 1 sa team with 2 europe team to actually see what lvl are asians but this tournament nothing will happen with full eu teams, mongolz plays really bad online matches but they are lan gods thats why they should have just invited top 4 asian teams thats why it should have been called asian championship
