ESL reveal New York groups

ESL has revealed the group distribution for ESL One New York taking place in late September.

The group stage of the $200,000 tournament will see the current No.1 team Liquid joined by the new-look ENCE in Group A alongside G2, who are reportedly amidst lineup changes as well, and the team coming from the North American qualifier, eUnited.

StarLadder Major champions Astralis headline Group B, where they will compete against NRG, FaZe and their compatriots OpTic, who qualified for the tournament via the GG.BET New York invitational and are set to play their first offline event since adding René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg in August.
