The group draw has taken place for both the European and North American divisions of the upcoming RGN Pro Series.

With a total of $50,000 on the line—$10,000 for each division of the Pro Series and $30,000 in an eventual offline championship—the RGN Pro Series will bring together premier talents across both regions.

The European Pro Series will run from mid-May through June whereas the North American Pro Series will run from June to early July. A final schedule is in the making.

Although matches continue to take place in the EU Closed Qualifiers for a slice of the qualifier's prize-pool, all five teams have successfully qualified via the bracket: namely, Space Soldiers, Acer, PiTER and both the LDLC Blue & White squads.
