Pro CS:GO players baffled by WESG World Finals group draw WESGA large number of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive pros have been left confused by the seeding and group draw for the upcoming WESG 2018 World Finals, where some groups look more stacked than others. The event, which will take place in Chongqing, China, from March 11-17, will feature 32 teams from across the globe \u2013 representing 28 different nations, all competing for the top prize of $500,000 from a prize pool of $890,000. Swedish team Ninjas in Pyjamas accepted the final invite spot on February 25, meaning that the line-up was set and the group draw happen. However, the draw lacked any seeding of teams that could fairly balance out the groups. The resulting draw left some players completely confused as they widely complained about the result \u2013 with some groups like Group E are lopsided with talent Europe, while others like Group D and H have been made up of relatively lower-tier teams from Asia.
