@Bl00DLocK I read on the website that the top 4 are LAN finals in Sydney, which determines the winner that goes to the finals in Jakarta.

Are flights/accom paid to Sydney too or just for the finalists to Jakarta? Also, where is the LAN being held in Sydney?

- Top 4 teams will need to arrange their own flights and accommodation to Sydney

- The grand finals will be played in our Studio space, of which the address will only be shared with the top 4 due to security concerns

- There will be a viewing party side event for any spectators located within Sydney CBD area

As this Qualifier is for an Australian representative and is being run by AESA a branch of the IESF Australian citizens are the only eligible entrants. I am not sure about the New Zealand eSports federation running qualifiers or not but their website is here: http://www.esf.nz/
