ICSC 8 group stage #2 draw tonight

The draw for the second group stage in the Intel Challenge Super Cup 8 will take place tonight at 19:00CET.

Yesterday the first group stage in the ICSC 8 finalized as the last matches were played. Now you might be wondering why several matches were not played, to put it short, a lot of matches had no effect on the final outcome of the groups, meaning the matches were not played or simply just forfeit wins.

Tonight at 19:00CET the draw for the second group stage will take place. The second group stage will consist of four groups with four teams. Each group will see two teams who placed first in their groups in the first group stage, while two second place finishers will also be drawn into the group.

Teams who have already met in the first group stage cannot be drawn into the same group for the second group stage. Just like the first group stage, teams will play each other twice, to determine the top two teams who will advance to the playoffs.

The two drawing pools, based on placing in the first group stage are:

mTw	DTS
SK Gaming	Virtus.pro
Moscow Five	KerchNET
tao	munkka
Frag eXecutors	ESC Gaming
fnatic	Online Kingdom
USSR	TCM-Gaming
x6tence	Lions
