According to TomorrowLAN, The China qualifier will be played out on the Perfect World CS:GO client that requires complete identity verification on the players’ account. The limitation prevents Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau teams and players from competing in the China qualifier; however, they will be able to compete in the Rest of Asia qualifier.
Lynn Vision Gaming (LVG), in the meantime, have registered in the Middle East qualifier as they are currently bootcamping in Serbia. The same is true for Australia’s LookingForOrg, which is presently bootcamping in the United Kingdom and will compete in the aforementioned qualifier against other Middle Eastern teams, including Shuaib “D0cC” Ahmad’s POGGERZ.
