The winner of the entire event will also qualify for the second edition of the Six Invitational as the representative of the APAC. Each sub-region was more or less dominated by a set number of teams who ended up qualifying to the regional finals. The following teams will meet on October 21-22^nd at Sydney for APAC LAN Finals.

The Teams:

Australia & New Zealand

Mindfreak:

The first ANZ team to qualify, Mindfreak, are an Australian team looking to make their mark. Having competed at the Rainbow Six Invitational as an Xbox team back in February, they have transitioned to PC and did not drop a single map on their journey to APAC Finals. That is despite playing ANZ Invitational champions Athletico and runners-up Corvidae.

Players: Acez (c), Pun, Kngz, Magnet, Lusty

Unique Monster

Hailing from Hong-Kong primarily, Unique Monster clearly do their homework, are dynamic and great at counter-strategy. Coming to APAC finals feeling confident off the back of straight wins and dropping just one map, Unique Monster will be playing their heart out to secure a place in Brazil.

Korea

New Life

New Life have an emphasis on team-synergy and the strength of the team is their ability to communicate effectively and execute co-ordinated plays. Only losing to Mantis in qualifying, New Life’s aggression and fragging ability will make them a great team to watch at the APAC finals.

Players: Smileboi (c), Bono, Mookhalifa, Nova, Kom

MantisFPS

The number one seed from Korea, Mantis are extremely well-skilled, they are not a heavy strategy based team. Their gun-skill is what drives them in combination with their cohesiveness, be prepared to see a lot of re-fragging. Mantis almost qualified for the Invitational last year losing out to Envy (Now known as eRa Eternity) at the final hurdle, will they exact revenge in Sydney?

Players: OniChan (c), SweetBlack, EnvyTaylor, Neilyo, KhaZiX
