Colorful, Linguagua and HuG for the last Chinese spot!

This is the current Ranking of points system from Liquipedia.

And we made a small table for the intensest area.

From these two table, we know that Fly100% is confirm to be in offline stage. At the same time, the last Chinese spot will most likely be the winner of Colorful and Linguagua, depends on which players can get more points in this qualifier. 

Meanwhile, HuG has only a little chance. When if Colorful and Linguagua lose in Group Stage 2 and fail to be in Semi Final, and HuG could win this qualifier, which means three of them will tie with 31 points in this situation. I guess there will have an additional games for three of them.

What will happen in the last few days? Let's stay with our favourite casters and watch the games!

WGL May Qualifier will be continued today, with patch 1.31!

The minor league of WGL which held by Netease and Blizzard will continue today. By the time, the Group Stage of Pro division and Open division will play at the same time. This is also the first patch 1.31 tournament that played on NetEase Platform.

Yesterday, Blizzard released the new patch of 1.31. After a day of debugging, the new patch was officially updated on the Netease Platform today. After the changes of the patch, which race will become the strongest race? Let's check on it by the coming games.

Group A

Group B

Group C

Group D

A whole new gaming mode, the Archon Mode.

The Archon Mode: Two players control the same "troop or camp" to fight against the opponents. In the game, two of them will be "sharing" the micro, and the units, and making the effect that is not easy to achieve by a single player.

This Mode will be played in Laoshou Cup (老受杯), for more details, please click here to the tournament announcement.


Hunter replaces CrunCher to play in WGL summer 2019.

According to our Warcraft III tournament organizer, dur0, CrunCher is not able to attend WGL summer 2019. Also the Third place of the WGL European Qualifier, htrt has declined the chance as well. "Both of them had to forfeit their spots because of their jobs." said dur0

Therefore, Hunter will play in WGL summer 2019.

Moon and Lawliet advanced to the WCG 2019.

As most of us expected, Lawliet and Moon successed to win the APAC Finals. Lawliet won the tournament without any losing map, resulting 7-0; and Moon lost a map to Lawliet, resulting 6-1 in the final result.

 Of course, we believe all their fans had been worrying about Moon and Lawliet, because Blizzard just updated the patch before the game. Luckily, Moon and Lawliet didn't disappoint their fans, and advanced to the Grand Final of WCG 2019. Congratulations to Moon and Lawliet!
