From EU, DING will be looking to prove themselves on the global stage after their first place finish at the EU finals. They will be joined by veterans of the league and two-time Grand Finals participants, Kazna Kru. The two powerhouse rosters of Apex and Eclipse, each with a season championship under their belt, will be the North American teams in the Challenger Rumble.
