Turner and IMG's ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2017 will continue live group stage action featuring Group B on Friday, Sept. 15, at 10 p.m. ET on TBS with four teams - Fnatic, Immortals, Mousesports and Team North - battling for two playoff spots and a larger share of the $1 million prize pool. Live digital coverage will begin at 6 p.m. across Twitch, ELEAGUE.com and YouTube in addition to the Friday night showcase. Live match coverage will continue Saturday, Sept. 16, at 2 p.m. across those digital platforms.

Group B will feature new beginnings for Fnatic and Team North, two of the top Counter-Strike teams in the world. Fnatic will look to bounce back following the team's disappointing debut with new teammates Jonas Lekr0 Olofsson and Mikail Golden Selim. Team North will look to capitalize with its new roster at the Premier, which saw Valdemar Valde Bj rn Vangs replace Emil Magisk Reif, and continue its recent successes. Fnatic and Team North will also face off against Immortals and the North American qualifier winners Mousesports.

The two winning teams that emerge from Group B's double-elimination bracket will each earn playoff spots. The playoffs will begin with the quarterfinals on Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 10 and 11. Live Premier coverage will follow the same weekly schedule for the upcoming Group C (Sept. 22-23) and Group D (Sept. 29-30) rounds.
