CyberZen have won the WESG 2018 China Regional Finals over ViCi in the grand final, becoming the first team to qualify for the global finals in March 2019.

The sixteen-team Chinese LAN competition took place in Suzhou from October 1-3, with several notable teams and players in attendance including the likes of TYLOO and 1.6 veteran RunBo "⁠sakula⁠" Wu in action for this specific event with NIRVANA.

On day one, TYLOO was sent home early after failing to make it out of their group, while fielding VAC banned player Quanqing "⁠qz⁠" Wu and Yue "⁠AE⁠" Yu as stand-ins. They defeated YQF, but lost to CyberZen and New4, who progressed on to the BO3 single-elimination playoffs.

CyberZen, who recently added Lei "⁠bottle⁠" Mao to their active roster, managed to cross out QiFang "⁠Karsa⁠" Su's EHOME in the quarter-finals and YuLun "⁠Summer⁠" Cai's Flash in the semis, 2-1.

Without their full strength in Andrew "⁠Kaze⁠" Khong and WingHei "⁠Freeman⁠" Cheung, ViCi tried to make their situation work with their former QeeYou comrades Wei "⁠Reaction⁠" Peng and JunBen "⁠MoriartyS⁠" Lin. ViCi topped Group B undefeated and ran over New4 in the quarters and the Mongolian-less 5POWER in the semis, 2-0, respectively.

However, in the face of Bin "⁠Savage⁠" Liu's men and bottle stepping up to the plate in the grand final, ViCi did not deliver on Train, but displayed a stronger performance on Inferno, which went to all thirty rounds in favour of CyberZen being crowned as the eventual winners.
