Natus Vincere replace EG at IEM6 GC Kyiv
Earlier today a statement was made by the Evil Geniuses organisation that they would no longer be supporting a CS 1.6 division. In light of this, they have dropped out of the IEM 6 GC Kyiv. Replacing them will be Ukrainian giants Natus Vincere , who were next in line should a team drop out due to defeating Anexis eSports in the seventh place decider (16-5, inferno).
Unfortunately for the Ukrainians, they will once again face SK Gaming in Group A, the team which crushed their chances of qualifying directly after defeating them 16-7 in the loser bracket of the Stage 3 online qualifier.
