The first regional qualifiers LAN of WESG kicks off in less than 24 hours. Held in Kiev, Ukraine, the European and CIS regional qualifiers feature top players from the two regions gathered in national rosters and an impressive list of casters.

Jorien 'Sheever' van der Heijden and Owen 'ODPixel' Davies, new to the Beyond the Summit broadcasting team, are coming to Stereo Plaza venue in Kiev, Ukraine, to deliver the English commentary. David 'Godz' Parker from the same BTS broadcasting team will also be present. David 'Luminous' Zhang and Chris 'Wakey' Wake complete the English talent list.

Day one in Kiev starts at 08:30 CEST on October 6 with the round robin, best-of-one group stage matches, which all four groups will play at the same time. That means only a couple of matches will be played on the main stage while the rest will run in the off-stage areas.

The group stage will last for the first two days, and at the end of October 7 only twelve teams will advance into a single-elimination playoff bracket. Top eight teams from here will secure the tickets for the $1.5M WESG Global Grand Finals, scheduled to take place in China at a yet to be announced date.

The top eight finishers at the Kiev Regional LAN Finals will share the $75,000 prize money as follows:

1st place: ?200,000 (~ $30,000)
2nd place: ?120,000 (~ $18,000)
3rd place: ?60,000 (~ $9,000)
4th place: ?40,000 (~ $6,000)
