CIS Minor group draw

The group draw for the CIS Minor Championship has been made, with the eight participating teams having been placed into two groups.

This weekend, Starladder will host at the Victoria Olimp Hotel, in Minsk, the CIS Minor Championship, where $50,000 and a spot at the offline qualifier for the MLG Columbus major will be up for grabs.

Eight teams, three invited and five coming from online qualifiers, have been drawn into two double-elimination groups, with the winners matches and the decider matches being played in a best-of-three format.


Gambit will face eXplosive in the first round 

The top two teams from each group will then advance to the single-elimination playoffs, featuring a best-of-three format all the way.

Mihail "⁠Dosia⁠" Stolyarov's Gambit Gaming head into the Minor as strong favourites, with Method, formerly known as PiTER, Arcade and Rebels also predicted to make it to latter stages of the tournament.

Below you can find the group draw in full:

Group A Group B

"Mihail "Dosia" Stolyarov's Gambit Gaming head into the Minor as strong favourites." I mean reading the thread before commenting on it helps, too thirsty for #1 I assume.

Nice contradiction there; "I wouldnt even read the article on a group draw for a major. All that matters is the actual group draw." - wouldn't read a group draw article, but that is what only matters? Did you get an education or did you skip that stage of life?

Contains valuable information to you that you clearly didn't read that was briefly noted within the article which would have complimented and given you fact on the point you were trying to prove in your comment.

I'll agree with you that it contained something that I dind't know this time. However, Usually the Group Draw articles contain nothing usefull, so I don't bother reading through them.
