56 teams have descended upon Antwerp to take part in the highly anticipated Antwerp Esports Festival. Below you can find all of the event information!

Almost a fortnight ago the Gamersject #3 LAN in Split, Croatia came to an end, seeing Team Dignitas take the gold over FnaticMSI.COD in the Grand Final. Looking back, Gamersject was minuscular in terms of scale when you compare it to the 56 teams who are soon to descent upon the city of Antwerp, and more specifically the venue of Hangar 26; all to participate in the much anticipated Antwerp Esports Festival with a massive €12,000 prize pot, ran in cooperation with The Vita Nova.

Daniel 'Zenith' Johansen, Conney 'KyoChi' Sjöberg, Marcus 'odyx' Nilsson, Johan 'LINQAN' Lindqvist and Stevy 'Stevy' Verheyen will all be taking part in the AEF tournament and looking to continue their string of podium placements by adding another medal to their cabinets.

The Antwerp Esports Festival will begin on Friday 30th of July with Groups A, D, E and F setting the first-game trend at 08:30 in the morning. Groups B, C, G and H will follow on Saturday 31st at the same times. A handful of teams will be bootcamping at the Outpost Antwerp LAN center on days Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday to ensure that they on form for the main event. Below you can see the schedule, the teams in each of the 8 groups as well as the prize distribution.
