IG’s invite comes amidst speculation that renowned carry player cn Xu ’Burning’ Zhilei will be joining the Invictus Gaming roster, if this is the case then expect Burning to accompany IG to Malaysia later this month to compete in his first LAN event with the team. However, IG are not the only attending team who have experienced roster changes; SEA qualifier au Can’t Say Wips will look to take home another SEA title with their new line-up featuring my Adam ’343’ Shah.

The event will also feature my Team Redemption who were given special consideration by Major All-stars to compete in the Southeast Asian qualifiers following their involvement in a match fixing scandal last year. Their subsequent qualification for the LAN finals will be an opportunity for the troubled team to begin repairing their reputation in the scene.

The event itself will take place within the Malawati stadium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and will run from the 20th to the 22nd of March. With the addition of IG eight teams are expected to compete at the LAN finals, however with Invasion yet to release details about a possible replacement for their recently departed player my Fadil bin ’Kecik imba’ Razif their position in the tournament is still uncertain.
