MLG revealed the groups and the schedule for the MLG Regional Minor Championship Americas that will take place in Columbus, Ohio.

Six teams from North America and two from Brazil will battle it out at the MLG Arena from May 19-22 for a prize pool of $50,000 and two spots at the ESL One Cologne Main Qualifier.

The squads are divided into two groups where a GSL format will be in effect as the opening, the winners' and the elimination matches will be best-of-ones while the deciders will be played as best-of-threes.
