Teams like Entropiq, Eternal Fire, Dignitas, MIBR, and K23 will be in play in the group stage of the $120,000 event.
The organizers of REPUBLEAGUE Tipos Season 2 have drawn the groups of the tournament, which will run in a GSL format from September 20-October 12 with one group played every Monday and Tuesday over the four weeks of play.
Fiend are the highest-ranked team in Group A, where they have been drawn alongside Dignitas, EXTREMUM (who replaced ENCE at the event), and eSuba. In Group B, Entropiq will be heavy favorites alongside the star-studded Eternal Fire squad, with DREAM UA and Sampi fighting an uphill battle as the clear underdogs.
Group C features another top-30 team K23 as well as Izako Boars, Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács and Denis "seized" Kostin's Singularity, and Slovakian-Czech representatives Enterprise. Group D is the only group to boast two local teams from the Slovakian organizer's region, Entropiq Prague and ECLOT, who will lock horns with LDLC and MIBR in the GSL format.
Two teams from each group will advance to the Play-in stage, from which the four winners will make it to the playoffs, joining 12 directly invited teams. Only SKADE, SINNERS, SAW, and FORZE have been revealed out of those as the previous season's top four finishers.
