Info
Hosted in Germany, IEM Cologne will be the last tournament before the player break.
With a direct group invite, we and 7 other teams will wait for the Play-In to complete and see which 8 teams will join us.
We're aiming for a great send-off to the player break, as the tournament offers a $1,000,000 prize pool, along with a chance to play on the Lanxess Arena in front of a live crowd!
