NeXT Winter qualifier will take place from 15 December to 16 December, and the groups have already been confirmed. The storm is coming!

Groups:

Short Analysis:

Group A: We have three Night Elves in this group: Sini, Check, and Newbee.Lawliet. Check just came back, so Sini may have a chance to qualify.

Group B: TH000 and FoCuS are slightly stronger than the other two players, the only question is if TH will use Night Elf to play.

Group C: This is the Group of Death, all of the players have chances of qualifying.

Group D: The Master (Zhouxixi) and his Student (Colorful) are coming to fight against Lucifer. "Who" will advance from this group?

Theoretically, there might be a total of 6 Night Elve players that would advance to the offline tournament (including TH000). Let the games begin!
