Groups released for Pros Play for Philippines

This article was originally published on GameSpot's sister site onGamers.com, which was dedicated to esports coverage.

As some of you might already know, the tropical cyclone, also known as Typhoon Yolanda, devastated much of Philippines and South-East Asia. According to reports, at least 5,680 people were killed by the typhoon. In an attempt to provide succor to the unfortunate victims, Leaguepedia and XDG came together to host a charity tournament dedicated to raising funds -- the organizers are hoping to acquire $20, 000 -- for the relief effort. All ad revenue and donations will be channelled straight to the Red Cross with the help of GoFundMe. Those unwilling to arbitrarily detach from their wallets may be interested to know that reward tiers are available for would-be contributors. You shouldn't be motivated by this, however. To paraphrase a certain Christmas carol, you really should be good for goodness's sake.

That aside, the event itself looks like it will be interesting. Scheduled to take place today and tomorrow, Pros Play for Philippines will feature some intriguing rulesets. The groups are as follows:
