Defending champions NiP are once again headed to Kiev's CyberSports ARENA with the number one seed, this time following a strong 11-1-1 campaign that saw them lose to k1ck and tie 3DMAX.

Fellow Swedes fnatic locked up the number two seed with a 10-3 run that saw Jesper "jw" Wecksell's side lose to NiP, VeryGames and Natus Vincere, while winning every other game.
