The Intel Extreme Masters, a major event with tournaments in two games, have made the relegation matches for Counter-strike public.

Tonight ESL announced the relegation pairs of Warcraft III for the upcoming Intel Extreme Masters Finals II.

The winners of the biggest tournaments last year have failed to stay in the Extreme Masters II for long enough to see the LAN finals at CeBIT in Hanover. Six teams have already qualified for that stage of the EM and four spots are still up for grabs.

The main round of ESL's Extreme Masters II for WC3 is over and we know the names of six players that have qualified to the playoffs at CeBIT and eight further names that will play additional matches to qualify.

SK Gaming's Warcraft 3 writer Lawrence "Malystryx" Phillips will be the shoutcaster for tonight's Intel Friday Night Game between Andrew "fire_de" Regendantz and Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen.
