The epic24 group stages took place yesterday with LAN favorites Radix&Friends and ferarri peekers both topping their groups. CeX fell short though and only managed to claim 2nd place in their group after a close fight against KDR which ended at 16-12.
Group E also saw one of the lower seeded teams, Omen, top their group over two higher seeded teams, Osterity and pocket mice.

[table id=49 /]After the group stages things heated up a bit as the knockout stages were re-seeded which caused a fair few teams to be matched up against teams that had already played in the group stages. This didn’t go down well and caused a swamp of CSGO players to surround the admin desk to voice thier objections.

Eventually, the issues were sorted and the knockout stage could commence. We are working on getting a full understanding of what happened and will be addressing it in a later article.
