The group stage of the ESL One Thailand will begin on August 8. Eight of the best teams in the region will be fighting for nearly a month until one of them grabs the trophy.
As expected, all eight teams will be placed in a round-robin format. Similar to other events, each series is going to be best-of-three. The first series of the event is going to be between CR4ZY and Thunder Predator, which are two unpredictable teams, so make sure to watch it.
What’s interesting about this event is that there will be a total of seven days, each of which will have four series. Despite the fact that the best team from the region won’t be taking part in this event (Evil Geniuses), there are still many big names here:
- CR4ZY
- Quincy Crew
