Asian Counter-Strike is back in a big way with eXTREMESLAND.

They’re wrong, with endemic organizer eXTREMESLAND making a comeback and kicking off the year with the eXTREMESLAND Asia Open!
16 teams from all over Asia will converge on Shanghai, China from Jan. 14 to 19 to determine who will open the year as one of the region’s top teams. Here’s everything you need to know about eXTREMESLAND Asia Open including the schedule, results, teams, and more.
