ICSC 8 second group stage drawn

Groups for the second group stage in the Intel Challenge Super Cup 8 have been drawn.

The draw for the second group stage took place live from the Kiev CyberSport Arena in Kiev, where the four groups were drawn by cyberarena CS commentator Taufiq "tafa" Khidri.

The draw produced the following four groups:

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D
SK Gaming	tao	mTw	Frag eXecutors
USSR	x6tence	fnatic	Moscow Five
ESC Gaming	Virtus.pro	Lions	DTS
munkka	TCM-Gaming	KerchNET	Online Kingdom

Despite the criteria that two teams from the first group stage can't face each other in the second group stage, mTw came out as the last team in the draw and dropped in Group D. As mTw and DTS played each other in the first group stage, this should not be possible, but the organizers decided not to do a re-draw.

The second group stage will begin next week and teams will once again play each other twice. The top two finishers in the four groups will progress to the playoffs, which will be played at the season eight finals, dates and location is yet to be announced.

You will once again be able to follow all of the action from this second group stage in the ICSC 8 right here on HLTV.org.

* Update #1 - The organizers had drawn Moscow Five as a second place group finisher and KerchNET as a first place group finisher. As Moscow Five topped the group, they have swapped the two teams, meaning Moscow Five will play in Group D and KerchNET will play in Group C.

* Update #2 - The organizers have furthermore swapped Frag eXecutors and mTw, based on the fact they were the last two teams to be drawn, Frag eXecutors should have been drawn directly into Group D, as mTw could not go there, as DTS had already been drawn into that group.
