The first stage of EMS One's Fall season is over and the twelve group stage teams are known. The first group games roll out next week.
Each week saw a new cup winner who were directly qualified to the group stage, joining in with the previously three invited teams. Invited team mousesports has yet to reveal what roster they would be playing with though. This week's addition is the lately stable team ESFX.PowerRangers from Belarus who managed to take down Team Menace in the cup final. Team Menace however gathered enough points during the cups to qualify for the groups together with ONE, Against all Authority and Swedish teams 4FC and Team Property.
The cup also concludes the cup stage, the twelve teams below will be sorted into three different double elimination groups where the top two teams will advance to the offline playoffs. Also joining those six teams will be another two who are yet to be decided upon.
