WEG Masters 2.0

Since its in china, wNv and eSTRO will be invited no matter how good they are

The other 6 probably should be....

mym, fnatic, mtw.dk, mousesports - for sure

other 2...hrmmm

SK Gaming and Made in Brazil (with cogu kiko and fnx back) also maybe Alternate in the mix

As long as there isnt a 40 day delay like WEG Masters, should be pretty sick.

Because # 18, US teams haven't been as consistent as those other teams lately, and there are no US teams ranked ahead of those teams in the world currently.

But ya, having x3o in would be cool.

Well, I decided to look more into this and look what i found :)

"According to the unofficial information, Asia at the tournament they will present eSTRO and wNv.cn. Among the European projects are expected BY SK, fnatic, mouz, MYM yes of mTw.dk. The latter already confirmed their participation. The eighth command, judging by everything, will become Made in Of brazil or EG.usa."

[The [predpologaemyy] list of participants]

* mTw.dk
* mouz
* fnatic
* SK
* MYM
* wNv.cn
* eSTRO
* Made in Of brazil/ Of eG.usa

So it looks like EG.usa might actually have a chance to go! USA!

#24 Don't think coL will be invited or accept it since they want to "concentrate" on CS:S

#25 Lunatic-hai, Dragon, or Seoul Jinhwa would be nice

would be nice to see mibr / eg.usa. Would be a very good opportunity for EG.USA to gain even more experience. Don't know how the new mibr squad is, so many change ups, but I think they should be good.
