AVANGAR confirmed for CS:GO Asia Championships

Perfect World has announced the addition of AVANGAR to its CS:GO Asia Championships event. The tournament features a $500,000 prize pool and will take place from November 21-24 in Shanghai, China. 

AVANGAR is the fifth team to attend the Asian event, joining ENCE, MIBR, NRG and TYLOO. The Kazakhstan organisation recently took the crown at BLAST Pro Series Moscow and finished second at StarLadder Berlin Major. The team also recently announced that it would not be attending Games Clash Masters in order to rest up after the tough couple of weeks it had. 

A total of eight teams will compete in the event, with two more invitations left to be revealed and one spot for the winner of the Chinese qualifier.
