HLTV.org live from Belek

StarSeries i-League Season 8 is about to begin and we have arrived at the venue in sunny and warm Belek in Turkey to give you full coverage of the $500,000 event.

The first day of the tournament is kicking off at 09:00 , with half of the teams of Group A — Vitality, Invictus, MOUZ, and North — ready to get into the opening matches as they are warming up on the stage.

The rest of the day will continue with the first two rounds of Group A's upper bracket, which means we'll find out two teams advancing to the playoffs already today before we move on to Group B counterparts on day two.

Head over to the viewer's guide we prepared ahead of the event for the rest of the schedule and other information you need to follow the tournament, and you can also read up on the biggest storylines going into the eighth season of StarSeries in a piece written by Lucas Aznar Miles.

As always, you can look forward to galleries and interviews from our two-man crew featuring Josip "brcho" Brtan and Milan "Striker" Švejda, as well as regular updates on our Instagram.
