StarSeries i-League Season 4 Round 1 schedule released
The schedule for the first round of games at the StarSeries i-League Season 4 Finals in Kiev has been released. The matches were drawn on Saturday, exactly a week before the tournament is set to begin.
Cloud9 and SK are scheduled for the first games of the day, which will be played at a time that is highly inconvenient for their domestic supports. The Major Champions are set to face off against Heroic, who've recently added Ruben "RUBINO" Villarroel to their line-up after a fourth place finish at cs_summit 2. Cloud9 themselves are looking to bounce back after an unfortunate defeat at the hands of Liquid in the Grand Finals of the same event.
SK are heading up against Korean outsiders MVP PK, a match-up that likely won't be too challenging for the Brazilians who are looking to reestablish their dominance. Renegades have a difficult draw against G2 in the third set of games on Saturday, whilst Liquid are set to battle with familiar foes Astralis to finish off the day.
