There are four groups with 7 teams in each group. The two best teams will go to the playoffs.

Group A
Canada
Austria
Belgium
Croatia
Estonia
Portugal
Slovenia

The group with last season champions Estonia and Belgium that ended fourth after a close match against Team uK.

Group B
Czech
France
Hungary
Malta
The Netherlands
Sweden
USA

In this group we got Team hungary that had a great NC last season. With Team nl and Team Sweden in this group too it can be a close call in this group. And maybe an other team in this group can make a suprise.

Group C
Finland
Iceland
Israel
Italy
Latvia
United Kingdom
Denmark

Finland and Team uK are the favorites in this group. The other teams need to find a place in the top two by beating atleast one of the favorites.

Group D
Spain
Germany
Ireland
Norway
Poland
Russia
Switzerland

Who will win this group? I think this is the group that will be a close one on the end. With Germany, Spain, Poland and maybe Switzerland can do something in this group.

Quote

"It has taken a while but the groups are now online. The first matchweek has actually started today because we were running late one week already due to some technical problems. Therefor we ask all captains to schedule their matches as soon as possible. If you can't come to an agreement in time please contact a supervisor and we will look for a solution.

Do note that if you schedule your match for tomorrow or even today there might be lack of ETTV. To request coverage go to GamesTV.org to get broadcasters.

On behalf of the ClanBase Crew we wish everyone the best of luck and a pleasant season."
