The ICE Challenge's schedule is now public, with two days for the group stage, a day off, and a day each for quarter-finals, semi-finals and the grand final.

The second-ever ICE Challenge will take place at the ExCel, in the London Docklands, on February 1-6, with eight invited teams from Europe and the CIS region fighting over a $250,000 prize pool.

Aleksib and OG will open the tournament facing ENCE

The tournament will have two four-team GSL groups, of which three will advance to the playoffs. The winners will go straight to the playoffs, while the second and third-placed teams will go the quarter-finals as the high and low seed, respectively.

Group A is headlined by mousesports and features two Danish teams in MAD Lions and Heroic. The group is rounded out by Virtus.pro, who will be looking to bounce back after a subpar performance at DreamHack Open Leipzig, where they were eliminated in last place.

The second group will have ENCE and OG go head-to-head in the opening match, where Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen will face his former teammates for the first time. The other opener in the group will be Natus Vincere's unveiling of Ilya "⁠Perfecto⁠" Zalutskiy when they go up against GODSENT in the last match of the first day of competition.
