Who

16 players will fight their way into the group stage of IEM Singapore through a double-elimination bracket. Bracket #1 features a potential rematch from a Wings of Liberty classic: Nestea versus San. In Bracket #2, Sase will battle it out against quality opponents like SeleCT, Curious, or Oz.

Each group features at least one fan favorite, with Mvp in Group A, DongRaeGu in Group B, Scarlett in Group C, and Grubby in Group D, among a field of seasoned pros such as XiGua and Bomber.
