WESG opens national qualifiers for all European and CIS countries

The exciting $1.5M prize pool Dota 2 tournament organized by StarLadder and ImbaTV opens its doors for European and CIS regional qualifiers where 20 national teams will qualify for regional LAN finals.

The 20 teams qualified for Regional LAN finals will travel to Kiev, Ukraine to compete for the $75,000 prize pool up for grabs for this stage, as well as one of the eight tickets available to the WESG Global Grand Finals that will be held in December in Shanghai, China.
