Oceania closed qualifier for Asia Minor set to start

StarLadder has revealed the opening match-ups for the Oceania closed qualifier for the Asia Minor.

Kicking off this Saturday and running through Monday, the qualifier will see eight teams - four invited and four coming from open brackets - duke it out for two spots at the upcoming Asia Minor.

Grayhound, who are currently ranked 17th in the world, rightfully head into the qualifier as the clear favourites. However, in the first round, all eyes will be on the match between ORDER and AVANT, two teams who are also widely expected to be in contention for a spot in Berlin.

Grayhound are the red-hot favourites for the qualifier

The team list for the Asia Minor currently features just three teams, Energy, FFAmix and Alpha Red, with a fourth side due to be determined later on Friday in the grand final of the East Asia qualifier, featuring MVP PK and Mazaalai.
