The organizers of DraculaN Season 1 have announced the groups for the Romanian tournament, which will take place at the Nexus Gamers Pub in Bucharest from August 29-31, with nearly $10,000 in prize money.

DraculaN is among the slew of open tournaments that will be held in the coming weeks across the globe as teams will be fighting for precious VRS points ahead of the October 6 invite cutoff for the StarLadder Budapest Major.

As the highest-ranked teams per the August 4 VRS, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Complexity, fnatic and Iberian Soul will go straight to the double-elimination playoffs.

The remaining 12 teams have been split into four round-robin BO1 groups, with only the group winners advancing to the next stage.
