After a whole month of laddering, we see the round of 96 ahead of us, and the first day is already being played this upcoming Saturday, August 6 at 19CET.

It's been since June 30, that alot of players started laddering to get into the top 108 in order to qualify for the second edition of the ISL (International StarLeague) and get a shot at the total prize pool of $1500.

This past weekend the ladder stage came to an end and the winners had to send in their replays from the ladder stage and then got seeded into groups of four, giving us a total of 24 groups for the 96 players that got placed inbetween the ranks 13 and 108, as the top twelf, the 48 advancers of the round of 96 and four invites get into the round of 64.

The 24 groups are going to be played over a total of four days, with six groups per playday, here are the play dates and the groups.

Groups 1 - 6 - August 6 - 19:00 CEST (+02:00)
Groups 7 - 12 - August 13 - 19:00 CEST (+02:00)
Groups 13 - 18 - August 20 - 19:00 CEST (+02:00)

Round of 64 starts September 3rd
