WESG World Finals groups drawn

The draw for the first group stage of the WESG World Finals has taken place, with the 32 teams having been split into eight groups.

As announced on Friday, the main WESG event will kick off with two round-robin group stages, the first of which featuring eight groups of four teams.

SK have been drawn in Group D, alongside the new BIG roster, Mihail "⁠Dosia⁠" Stolyarov's Russia mix, and Chinese side New4. Group C also looks very stacked on paper, featuring ViCi and two strong mixtures, Kévin "⁠Ex6TenZ⁠" Droolans's Belgium and Oscar "⁠mixwell⁠" Cañellas's Wololos.

SK have one of the toughest groups at WESG

The WESG World Finals will take place at the Haikou International Convention & Exhibition Cente from March 13-18, with $1.5 million on offer.
