The Gigabyte eSport Tournament (GEST) is back, and the teams on the November leg have been distributed on their respective groups. It will happen on the 24th and 25th of the month.
GEST is picking right where it left, going full blast a month after the All-Star Break. Group A is looking to be the most competitive, with the defending champion Pacific.eMaxx leading the way.
All groups have five teams, sporting the distributed four teams plus the qualifier slots. It can also be noted that Orange, who had been absent the past several legs of GEST because of TI2 and health problems (on the September leg), is now back on the tournament. Also, CA.7 enters through the qualifiers to become just the second Cambodian team on the 10-month old tournament.
