With the only two weeks left until the start of the first major tournament in 2015, the groups have been revealed. The sixteen teams which will be fighting for the share of $250,000 on 12-15 March in Katowice, Poland, have been placed into the four groups with the same amount of teams in each.

The group A will see Natus Vincere as the first seeded team since they were the top 4 finishers at DH Winter. The next seed was given to Fnatic and the two teams who got qualified for this event are the crowd favorite, VOX EMINOR, and FlipSid3 Tactics.

The DH Winter champions, EnVyUs, are placed into the group B together with the most pleasent surprise of the last major, Penta Sports. The two teams coming from the qualifiers in this group are Titan and LGB eSports.

Group C will see Ninjas in Pyjamas fighting their way through against HellRaisers who are always performing extremely well in the group stages of major tournaments. They will also face the two teams coming from American soil, Counter Logic Gaming and Keyd Stars(ex-KaBuM).

Maybe the most exciting group will be the last one where we got to see, a winners of the last year's edition of Katowice, Virtus.pro, Team Solomid, Cloud9 and 3DMAX. The Polish team will do their best to satisfy the home crowd, but the rest of the teams will show what they are capable of and will try to make a surprise.

The full schedule is yet to be announced, so stay tuned to GosuGamers for the more information about ESL One Katowice and other CS:GO news.
