WESG 2017 Americas Regional Finals, which were originally supposed to be played in Santa Ana, California, will be played online to avoid visa issues.

The organizers cited the current United States' migration policy as the reason for the shift to an online environment, with some of the countries facing difficulty during the visa processes.

The dates of the finals have not changed; the Americas Regional Finals will be played from February 1-4, although they have been split into two sub-regions, North America and South America, to combat ping differences.

In the male competition, seven teams competing in North America will battle for five spots at the finals, and South America will have two spots on offer among five teams. As for the female part, each region will offer a spot to the winner, with five teams competing in NA and three in SA.
