The qualifiers for the WESG 2019 are slowly coming to an end. 24 teams from all around the globe will battle for the $800.000 prize pool. The exact date for the Global Finals hasn't been revealed. We collected some of the most interesting participants, ranging from single players to already successful five-stacks.

China

One of the strongest contenders so far is China: PSG.LGD will represent their homecountry after a nearly flawless run in the qualifiers. In all twelve games they played, they only lost a single map and even defeated the rising stars from Invictus Gaming 2-0.
