ECL S50 APAC Finals: Preview

The ESL Challenger League Season 50 Asia-Pacific circuit heads into its concluding phase- the regional finals. The winner of four ESL Challenger League Asia-Pacific Cups lock horns, competing for a coveted ESL Pro League slot. Having won both- Cup 2 and 3, Rare Atom will skip the Ro4, heading directly into the Bo5 grand-final. The APAC final will host a single-elimination bracket, starting with the Bo3 semi-finals.

Winners of Cup 1 Lynn Vision will take on Chinggis Warriors who won Cup 4. Lynn Vision's last notable outing against Chinggis Warriors came at the Austin Major earlier this year where the Chinese side eliminated Chinggis Warriors in the 1-2 pool in the opening stage of the Major.
