23savage and Yawar qualify for Esports Nations Cup 2026: first qualification results

Most of the regional qualifiers for Esports Nations Cup 2026 in Asia and Oceania have concluded, and we are taking a look at the first results.

South and East Asia

Following the conclusion of the qualifier, Mongolia and Pakistan secured their spots at the championship.

Notably, the Mongolian squad led by Altanginj 423 Bilguun faced no real competition during the qualifier, winning every map in dominant fashion.

Southeast Asia and Oceania

The Philippines and Thailand emerged as the strongest teams in these regions, earning their places at the championship.

The Philippine team won every series it played, while Thailand came within a single map of elimination before securing a hard-fought 2:1 victory over Myanmar.

Carry player Nuengnara 23savage Teeramahanon was his team's standout performer on every map and led Thailand to qualification for the championship.

MENA and Central Asia

Lebanon became the first team to qualify from these regions. In the upper bracket final, they defeated Kyrgyzstan, sending them to the lower bracket, where they will have one more chance to secure a place at the tournament.

It is worth noting that Lebanon cruised through the qualifier, defeating every opponent without dropping a single map.
