Eleague unveils groups for first three weeks of CS:GO action

Since Turner Sports and TBS announced their $1.2 million Counter-Strike league, dubbed the Eleague, there's been numerous changes to its timelines and format. Originally the organizers where expecting teams to spend over a month at a time near the TBS studio in Atlanta to play in the league, but the teams were having none of that.

So Eleague has switched up their format. Teams have been split into six groups of four teams each, and each group will play out all their games across a period of one week - leaving them free to participate in other events as the other groups play.

Eleague has unveiled the teams and schedule for the first three groups. Group A consists of Luminosity Gaming, Renegades, Team Liquid and Cloud9. They'll play all their group stage games between May 24-27.

Group B features Ninjas in Pyjamas, G2 Esports, TyLoo and OpTic Gaming. They'll play on May 31-June 3.

Finally, group C has Astralis going up against Counter Logic Gaming, SK Gaming and NRG, who'll be playing on June 7-10.

Given their current form, each group should be easy pickings for the three top teams, with Astralis in particular having a easy road ahead of them.
