Sixteen teams from across Europe will be duking it out in the Swiss group stage starting on September 17. The invites for the group stage of CCT Central Europe Series 2 have been revealed, with ex-SKADE, K23, BLUEJAYS and Fragadelphia 17 finalists BIG Academy headlining the list. The twelve invited rosters will be joined by four teams coming through the European closed qualifier taking place on Thursday, with Nexus already securing a spot at the main event.  The eight squads that advance through the opening Swiss stage will be joined by eight teams invited directly to the playoffs, where they will battle for the lion's share of the $50,000 prize pool. The event will also award points in the Central Europe regional rankings, from which the top three teams qualify for the Central Europe studio LAN, set to take place in early 2023.
