The LAN Finals for the African and Middle Eastern part of the WESG qualifiers are set to start in Du

The LAN Finals for the African and Middle Eastern part of the WESG qualifiers are set to start in Dubai, with eight teams in competition for the three Global Grand Finals spots.

The WESG Africa & Middle East Regional LAN Finals, that are taking place form the 26th to the 28th of August, are a part of the qualification cycle for the $1.5 million WESG Global Grand Finals, which will take place at a yet unconfirmed location in China.

The teams competing in the regional finals have earned their spot through four sub-regional online qualifiers that were held earlier this month. With a lot of internationally unproven players at the tournament, Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş' Space Soldiers are the prime favorite for the title - and the $30,000 that come with it.

The fact that the WESG's date coincided with the ESEA Global Challenge caused Bravado some problems as they were initially planning to attend the event in Poland, but visa issues resulted in them going to Dubai after all.

ELUSIVE disclosed that Bravado planned to attend ESEA GC LAN instead of WESG

Viva Algeria is another team that had trouble making it to Dubai and ended up being replaced by Damage Control that finished third in the South African qualifier.

The groups are as follows:

Group A	Group B
Space Soldiers	DarkPassage
carboN	Bravado
Chosen5	Swift
Damage Control	FENNEC

The groups are not going to be played in the standard GSL system, with the organizer deciding on a best-of-one Round Robin format instead. The first two teams from each group will proceed to the play-off stage, where a classic best-of-three bracket will be played - with a third place match to decide the last LAN spot.

The full schedule is as follows:

Friday, August 26th
08:00	Space Soldiers	vs. Damage Control	BO1
09:00	carboN	vs. Chosen5	BO1
10:00	Bravado	vs. Swift	BO1

The whole event will be streamed in three languages: English, Chinese and Russian, with the English duo Tom "Tombizz14" Bissmire and Ryan "Flakes" Oliver commenting from the venue - the Conrad Dubai Hotel.
