i54 qualifier expanded

The organisers of the Insomnia Gaming Festival have announced some changes to the online qualifier for the G2A.com Counter-Strike Challenge.

Group A of the online qualifier for i54's main CS:GO competition came to an end on Wednesday, with x6tence and Publiclir.se both advancing to the semi-finals of the tournament.

Insomania Gaming Festival's organisers have now decided to double the number of teams in Group B from four to eight following strong interest from several European sides in the qualifier.
