Through their official Twitter account, Riot Games verified the absence of the first-seeded Southeast Asian squad Brian Esports. The reason for their absence is due to visa issues as confirmed by the League of Legends World Championship’s regional qualifier’s admin team.
With the absence of VALOROUS BERLIN MASTERS TO MISS BREN ESPORTS, we will now proceed with the 3rd and 4th seed winners – Sina OTC and HWA Gaming. They will now play for one spot in Group B alongside 1907 Fenerbahce, Team Liquid, and Infinity Esports. All four teams can still qualify for Worlds 2019, but only two will make it through.
