G3 group draw

23-7-2014 21:23

The group draw for G3 has been made, with the 12 participants having learned their fate in the British tournament.

After taking into consideration the seedings provided by HLTV.org, the Gfinity staff proceeded to conduct the group draw, which placed the 12 participating teams into two different groups.

The group stage will use a round robin format, meaning that every team in attendance will play a minimum of five matches. The top four sides from each group will then progress to the playoffs, which will use a single elimination best-of-three format.

Ninjas in Pyjamas, who currently sit first in HLTV.org's world ranking, have been drawn in the same group as ESEA champions iBUYPOWER and DreamHack Valencia runners-up Epsilon, with fnatic, Infused and London Conspiracy completing the group.

Virtus.pro, the number-two side in the world, will lock horns with Titan, dignitas, ESG, mousesports and Rasta Gaming.

Group A	Group B
NiP	Virtus.pro
iBUYPOWER	dignitas
fnatic	Titan
Epsilon	ESG
Infused	mousesports
London Conspiracy	Rasta Gaming

Stay tuned to HLTV.org for full coverage of the G3 tournament, which will take place on August 2-3 at the Olympic Park in London.

looks fine to me, but i hope ibp will get crushed =)

2014-07-23 21:35

why? Just to kill all the hype? I would be good to have top team from US. Maybe game will grow on the other side of the pond.

2014-07-24 00:54

iBP will almost certainly beat Epsilon, Infused, and London Conspiracy. It's a 50/50 to me with fnatic, and I sincerely doubt they'll beat NiP. But they tend to suck overseas so who even knows, they could come in last in their group.

2014-07-24 01:37

1. IBP 2. NiP 3. Epsilon 4. Fnatic 5. Infused 6. London Conspiracy Group B same as u

"The group stage will use a round robin format, meaning that every team in attendance will play a minimum of five matches.

2014-07-23 23:14

At least we know IBP will get out of groups for once...I mean they have to right?

2014-07-23 23:19

Hopefully ibp and mouz will perform well in this tournament :)

2014-07-23 23:35

2014-07-24 00:25

Infused humiliated :(

2014-07-24 00:32

I'm not expecting huge things from the UK teams, but it would be nice to see an upset or two. I hope they have a good showing. VP vs NiP should be the highlight, for so many reasons.
