eXTREMESLAND's first event
The first eXTREMESLAND Asia event was held back in 2016. The tournament featured some of the most exciting teams at the time from Asia and Oceania.
Some of these teams included Renegades, ViCi, dream[S]cape, MVP PK, EHOME and many other great teams.
The tournament was held in Shanghai, where eXTREMESLAND after 3 days of exciting matches could crown a winner of the eXTREMESLAND Asia 2016. ViCi was the proud winner of the whole tournament, after defeating Renegades in a nail biting 2-1 victory.
