The Wuxi International eSports Champions Cup will span this entire week, and the draws have been released. A total of 18 teams, including arguably China's top 9, have been invited to play. With a total prize pool of 60,000 RMB ($9,300) in store for participants, fans will certainly stand to witness Chinese rivalry at its finest.

Interestingly, the tournament has allocated the teams without seeding them, hence resulting in some groups being more stacked than the other. Group B will feature 2010's powerhouses EHOME, LGD and Nirvana.cn with newly formed PanDa in the mix. Group D, however, includes the iG teams, which spell a tough road ahead for Tyloo and LJF who, at this point time, are almost powerless to stop them from advancing.
Held from the 20th to 25th of September, the tournament will run its group stages first with the top two teams advancing before proceeding on to a double elimination bracket featuring the top eight teams from four groups.
