Who are the two teams in S3 China? OMG and PE refused to sign. Is there any chance for WE to participate?

Beijing Times (Reporter Zheng Xiaolong) The "League of Legends" global finals will start in the United States in October. However, as the country with the most stringent visa requirements in the world, players from many countries are trying to go there. The two Chinese clubs, PE and OMG, have encountered difficulties with US visas. Yesterday, both Chinese clubs PE and OMG were refused visas for the first time by the US Embassy. This has also laid hidden dangers for China's bid for the S3 League of Legends World Finals.

However, there is currently not much time before the S3 finals. Due to the inability to obtain Due to visa issues, the two Chinese clubs may not be able to participate in the competition on time.
