StarLadder CIS RMR groups and schedule revealed

Natus Vincere and Gambit have both been drawn into the CIS RMR event's Group A.

The StarLadder CIS RMR event, taking place on June 27-July 4, will kick off with a best-of-three round-robin group stage, in which the 10 competing teams have been divided into two groups.

The tournament will then move to a double-elimination bracket where the top teams in each group will fight to make it to the best-of-five grand final, while the two third-placed teams in each group will play a fifth-place decider match.
