The draw for the group stage of the Qi Invitational has been made, with the eight competing teams having been drawn into two GSL groups.

Running from April 24-26 at a studio in Belgrade, the Qi Invitational will feature eight teams - five European and three Asian -, who will square off for their cut of a $75,000 prize pool.

The tournament will begin with two double-elimination groups, from which the top two will progress to the single-elimination, best-of-three playoffs.

GODSENT will take on 5POWER in their first match

BIG, who will be attending their first event with Owen "⁠smooya⁠" Butterfield and with Nikola "⁠LEGIJA⁠" Ninić as a stand-in, will be taking on Eclipse in their first match, with Valiance and TYLOO rounding out the group. 

The other group's first round will be headlined by the all-European clash between AGO and Copenhagen Games champions Imperial, while GODSENT will lock horns with 5POWER.
