Second Intel IO quali starting soon

After the first qualifier that was won by Wikipediots four days ago, the Inferno Online's $10,000 3rd Generation Intel Core Challenge is hosting the second online qualifier this evening.

Same as last time, 64 teams were selected from over 200 that applied and the winner will reserve a spot at the Inferno Online's $10,000 3rd Generation Intel Core Challenge taking place in Stockholm on May 12th.

The teams were divided into 16 groups, where only the first placed will make it through to the playoffs. Single elimination best-of-one awaits there and the winner should be found by the end of the day.

Out of more notable teams in attendance are Anexis, Virtus.pro, duttdutt and last qualifier's finalists from Norway, tempteam. Among others, we will also see zNation from Russia, NOM-GAMING from Israel, Norga from Belgium, TMVG from Finland and surprising semi-finalists from the previous occasion, bellum from Sweden.

It's also worth mentioning the Swedish mix-team icsu, who will feature the NiP and SK legend Tommy "Potti" Ingemarsson.

You can find all the teams in attendance and the groups here.

Same as last time, HLTV.org will begin the full coverage once the tournament reaches the playoffs stage, so tune in around 21:00 for some action and to see who will join SK, ESC, fnatic, WinFakt and Wikipediots next weekend in Stockholm.
