WCG Serbia groups announced

Groups for the Serbian World Cyber Games qualifier have been drawn, seeing a total of 32 teams compete for one all expenses paid trip to WCG 2011.

Initially, when the Serbian qualifier was announced, it was said that a maximum of 64 teams could take part. The signup period was extended to September 26, as the day before the original deadline expired on September 19 only about 25 teams had paid.

In the afternoon of September 26, a total of 44 teams had paid; the organizers did however choose to round down the number of teams, selecting the 32 teams who paid first, leaving out 12 teams without a chance to participate. On the list of teams left out are RB and DPS, while last year's finalists urbanExp were initially 33rd on the list but they made it into Group B after one team pulled out.

The groups were subsequently drawn with the 32 teams that made the cut. The groups look as follows:

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D
