The TWC organizer, E-Frag.net reveals the captains of the countries for the second installment of The World Championship, the concept of choosing a manager has been swapped with assigning a captain, and Team Scorchers captain, Tejas ‘ace’ Sawant will take the charge in bringing up an Indian side.
Kicking off next month in six different regions, TWC will feature teams from more than 90 countries who will compete against each other to be at the top of the table. Out of the teams playing the qualifiers, eight national teams will qualify for the season finals which will take place on LAN from October 12-16 in Serbia, where they’ll be competing for $100,000.
Additionally, $50,000 will be awarded to all the 8 teams as an accommodation and travelling support. The regions competing for the TWC title 2016 will be from all parts of the world including Europe, South America, North America, Asia, Africa and Oceania.
Previously, TWC 2015 title was conquered by the Frenchmen in the likes of KioShima, Happy, shox, NBK and SmithZ (EnVyUs / G2), followed by Poland and Sweden. This time around, there are new talents coming into the scene and upsetting the major lineups as seen in the majors, that would be more than interesting to watch.

India did performance good but not well enough to win a title, the lineup was Ritz / Ribbi / MithilF / Manan / sMx which was led by Karthik ‘Catalyst’ Rao, the team manager. However, this time around, the format has been changed and there are no managers but captains deciding the lineups for their respective nations. It will be intense to see who all will be in the lineup choose by Tejas ‘ace’ Sawant, since there are too many players competing at the same level.
The top most players in India, all will be called for try-outs where only the best ones will be selected to represent their nation, we’ll wait and see how well it goes with ‘Ace’ who has himself being an experienced player in the CS:GO Indian community.
