eSport Champion League will be hosted in in the Shijingshan disctrict of Beijing, China and not Wuhan or Taiwan as previously rumoured.

Sung Sik "ReMinD" Kim and Nikita "Nicker" Pomadov will be the hope of "foreigners" in the "ECL" kicking off on April 22. Paired up with 14 Chinese players, among them the China's WarCraft 3 poster boy Xiao Feng "Sky" Li and the reigning ECL champion Huang "TH000" Xiang, the event is looking to be a real treat for the on-lookers.

All players aside from "Sky", Xuwen "Infi" Wang, Huang "TH000" Xiang and "Fly100%" went through a 48-man bracket where the best 12 advanced to the Beijing event.

"Nicker" went through Undead player "chj" and Night Elf "EleGeNt" to reach Top 12.

"ReMinD" made sure to qualify after defeating Night Elf player "Jun" and the Orc player "RealSnake_BoX".
