The teams on Gigabyte eSport Tournament September have been distributed on their respective groups. It will happen on the 15th and 16th of the month.
The 8th leg of GEST will see the top 2 finishers last month competing in Group B, whereas Group A will feature a strong podium finisher combination of Mineski, MSIEvoGT and Neolution.
All groups now each have five teams, sporting the original four plus the qualifier slots. It can also be noted that Orange, who have missed the past several legs of GEST due to training for The International 2012, is now back on the tournament.
UPDATE: NeoES.PH|DotA will replace Orange on Group C
