Join the APAC League

The first step for any budding eSports star wishing to be part of the APAC League is to register for their local Qualifiers. All Asia server players physically residing in APAC are eligible to join their respective local leagues, as follows:

• ANZ League: For players living in Australia/New Zealand only
• JPN League: For players living in Japan only
• SEA League: For players living in all APAC countries, excluding China, Japan, Australia/New Zealand, and the CIS region

IMPORTANT! Please note that each team may only consist of up to 3 players based in APAC countries that are not eligible for their chosen local leagues. For example:

• Team A joins the SEA League with 2 players from Taiwan, 2 from Korea & 3 from Australia
  -> ACCEPTED
• Team B joins the JPN League with 3 players from Japan, 2 from Thailand and 2 from Australia
  -> REJECTED

The top 2 ANZ and SEA Qualifiers teams will join the teams from Season 1 in their respective Major Leagues, while the 4 best JPN Qualifiers teams will enter the JPN Minor League instead.

Match dates: Every Saturday, 8 September - 6 October 2018 (Round-robin)
