The groups for the Friday Xperia PLAY first group-stage tournament have now been drawn, seeing SK Gaming drawn along side the likes of x6tence and Gamerzone in Group E. To get to the second group-stage teams will have to battle their way through the ranks in order to secure a top two finish in their respective group, which is the magic number to proceed to the next round.
