The first two groups of MLG Columbus 2016 have been announced via the organizer's Instagram page.

Rarely do we see groups being announced in parts, but it seems to be the case for MLG Columbus 2016, as MLG have started announcing the groups two at a time on their Instagram page.

So far groups A and B have been announced. The groups have to follow the seed pools, which have been decided according to the team's placing at the previous major, DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca, and the main qualifier.
