Details about the WESG LAN final for Europe & CIS have been announced, with the event set to take place on November 22-26 in Barcelona, Spain.

The first details about WESG 2017 were released back in August, with the organizers announcing that the event will once again feature a $1.5 million prize pool and a long series of qualifiers leading up to the World Finals. WESG also kept their criticized nationality rule, which limits teams to have all five players from a single country.

The sub-regional and national qualifiers that determine participants for the regional LAN finals are the first step on the road, with regional LAM finals following after that and the World Finals, that is scheduled for March 2018, coming at the end.

Last year's EU&CIS Finals took place in Kiev

Today, it has been announced that the regional final that covers Europe and CIS will take place in Barcelona, Spain, on November 22-26.
