With three victories in the upper-bracket of the Oceania Closed Qualifier, Renegades have secured a slot at the Asia Minor.

The Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong-led team were the overwhelming favorites to take one Oceanic spot for the Asia Minor, and did so by overcoming catman, AVANT, and ORDER in a BO3 series.

INS posted a 1.24 rating in the series against AVANT

The opening series against catman was a straightforward 2-0 victory, but Renegades had to work harder in their next two series as they narrowly lost the opening map, Train, in both of them. Former Grayhound member Euan "⁠sterling⁠" Moore was causing them issues in the series against AVANT, but 16-12 and 16-6 victories on Inferno and Nuke ensured Renegades' place in the upper-bracket final against ORDER.

Aside from their weakness on Train, Renegades looked comfortable in the final, keeping their opponents below 10 rounds on both Nuke and Dust2 to claim the 2-1 victory. With their victory over ORDER, dexter and co. have secured their third consecutive Asia Minor appearance.
