With ELEAGUE’s second season just around the corner, here’s a look at what to expect.
ELEAGUE season two is fast approaching and, after a series of qualifiers in the first half of September, the teams that will be joining the top eight finishers from the first season are decided. European and North American open qualifiers gave teams the chance to make it onto the small screen, as the top teams would advance to the EU and NA preliminary rounds. There, they would face each other and the bottom finishers from the first season to claim one of the eight remaining spots for season two. With all sixteen spots now secured and the groups announced, here’s a look at who will play who and when.
Group A | Group B | Group C | Group D |
mousesports | Virtus.pro | Natus Vincere | fnatic |
Cloud9 | Ninjas in Pyjamas | Astralis | Team EnVyUs |
FaZe Clan | G2 Esports | ALTERNATE aTTaX | Team Dignitas |
Immortals | SK Gaming | OpTic Gaming |
