MESPN BREAKING NEWS: Groupings released by ACC

With the official rosters released, you can imagine that our writers and prognosticators are typing up a storm. Well, now they have one more huge bit of info to process- the groupings.

The Arda Cup Committee was serious about getting their job done this year, and met in an intensive closed session immediately following the approval of all team rosters. A couple hours later they emerged with the groupings- evidently they already had most of their ideas in mind, and just needed to finalize them.

And without further ado, here they are!
