Surprisingly, there aren’t any Thailand teams who qualified for the next round. The Thais, who are considered to be a powerhouse region, sported reigning CGI champions WDC Freeslot as well as WDC Xenon. However, both teams fell short as Xenon finished just 4th in Group B, while Freeslot lost a tiebreaker against SEM9 for second place in Group A.
