Despite most teams praying that they didn’t land with SK Telecom T1 in their group, this year’s groups look particularly even. Sure, SKT have never lost a Worlds they’ve attended—but after their shoddy Summer Split in the LCK, the team have never looked as beatable. No matter what group a team lands in, they’re going to have a hell of a fight to make it through.

Here are your 2017 Worlds groups for the group stage.

Group A

  • ahq e-Sports Club (LMS)
  • SK Telecom T1 (LCK)
  • EDward Gaming (LPL)
  • TBD

Group B

  • Longzhu Gaming (LCK)
  • Immortals (NA LCS)
  • GIGABYTE Marines (GPL)
  • TBD

Group C

  • G2 Esports (EU LCS)
  • Samsung Galaxy (LCK)
  • Royal Never Give Up (LPL)
  • TBD

Group D

  • TSM (NA LCS)
  • Flash Wolves (LMS)
  • Misfits (EU LCS)
  • TBD

The play-in stage begins on Sept. 23, and following its conclusion the group stage will take place from Oct. 5-15. With the conclusion of regional qualifiers across all the regions, there’s nothing left to do but wait for the play-in stage to begin. The 2017 World Championship is here.
