WESG has announced their return with registration now open for the WESG 2017 European, CIS and Americas qualifiers.

Last year the WESG Champions were declared after a three game grand finals in which TnC had bested Cloud 9 (then the Danish lineup) 2:1. Alliance had rounded out the podium in third with Infamous falling a step below in fourth place.
