Best photos of the StarSeries i-League S6 group stage

With the first stage of the tournament in Kiev done, we compiled our best shots taken so far that tell the story of victory and defeat at StarSeries.

StarSeries i-League Season 6 kicked off with the Swiss system BO1 group stage, with the team list lacking some of the squads you would come to expect from an event of this stature. However, with a lot of hungry, sub-top-10 teams in contention, the eight playoff spots were fought for fiercly.

Early on, we saw one of the surprises of the Major eliminated—Complexity, with notable squads such as MOUZ, HellRaisers and TYLOO not being able to reach the playoffs either. On the other hand, the likes of ENCE and Fragsters have impressed, taking down some big names to reach top eight in Ukraine.
