Intel Challenge 2019 groups released
IEM have released the group draw for their Intel Challenge 2019 event. The event will see the eight top female CS:GO teams battle it out with the winning team taking home the lion's share of $50,000.
Dignitas fe, last year's champions will be taking on Orgless fe in their opening matchup, while the other North American team, CLG Red will do battle against the European Crowns fe team. One interesting tidbit about Crowns fe is that they are enlisting the services of Bulgarian player Emiliyan "spyleadeR" Dimitrov as their coach for the event.
TiMe DaS LiNdAs, who prevously played under the OpTic Brasil banner, will be facing off against Assassins in their opening match. Like Crowns fe, Assassins are also enlisting the services of a Bulgarian player. Nikolay "pNshr" Paunin will be their coach for this event. Additionally, Assassins have ties to North America as ex-CLG red player Klaudia "klaudia" Beczkiewicz features on the otherwise European squad.
The full group draw for the tournament are as follows:
Group A |
Dignitas fe vs Orgless fe |
Assassins vs TiMe DaS LiNdAs |
Group B |
CLG Red vs Crown fe |
Besiktas vs Carnage fe |
