StarLadder XII Europe - Phase two groups drawn

The first phase of the European qualifiers of StarLadder XII ended earlier today with Alliance and ASUS.Polar eliminating NiP and Power Rangers from the tournament. The two groups of the second phase have now been drawn, with eight European competitors fighting for one of the four spots in the finals of DreamHack Bucharest.

The competition is getting fiercer every day in the regional qualifiers of StarLadder XII. The matches of the first European groupstage have just concluded, with the last two remaining battles of the fourth group. After today's reults, Alliance and ASUS.Polar have joined six more teams in phase two, eliminating Power Rangers and Ninjas-in-Pyjamas in the process. NiP's final victory against Power Rangers could not help them survive, as their earlier 2-0 defeat against Alliance had sealed their fate.

The two groups of the second phase have been drawn, including the teams that managed to finish in a top-two position in their respective phase one groups. So far, there are no clear favorites in the two groups, as even the less experienced challengers such as London Conspiracy and ScaryFacezzz have proven that they can take down the toughest of opponents. The match schedule of phase two has yet to be released, but games are expected to begin next week.
