The groups for ESWC 2011 have been released, with the 20 teams divided up into four groups of five. The top two teams from each group will move onto the playoffs, which will be single elimination and Best-of-3. SK Gaming have been placed into Group B along with dangerous underdogs Moscow Five and DTS , leaving the prospect of upsets a possibility.

The Counter-Strike group stage of ESWC 2011 will begin on Saturday the 22nd of October in Paris, France, and SK Gaming will be on location providing coverage.



Na`Vi are the reigning champions, taking last year's tournaments with one of the most dominating playoff runs of all time. SK Gaming were runnersup, with the event marking their first major final of the year.
