StarSeries Finals groups, schedule

Here are the groups and full schedule for the upcoming SL i-League StarSeries XIV Finals.

SL i-League StarSeries XIV Finals is around the corner, kicking off on January 13th with group A up first, followed up by group B on January 14th.

The groups and full schedule have just been released, as we see Natus Vincere and G2 from the European side joining Asia's CyberZen and North America's Luminosity.

It makes for a very interesting group B, since EnVyUs replaced Method, and seemingly the seeds have not been remade. The Frenchmen will be joining their rivals Titan, as well as Question Mark and the tournament favourites, fnatic.

Group A	Group B
Null element Na`Vi	fnatic
G2	Question Mark
Luminosity	Titan
CyberZen	EnVyUs

As mentioned above, the first two days will be reserved for the entire group stage, played without live audience, which will feature an unusual format.

Groups will be played in a GSL best-of-three system, with the group winners advancing directly to semi-finals, while second and third placed teams will play each other in the quarter-finals.

Playoffs will also feature best-of-threes across the board. The tournament will follow the schedule shown below:
