Scheduled to be the inaugural event of the Counter-Strike Intel Extreme Masters series in 2024, IEM Katowice will feature a LAN format in the Polish town of Katowice.
The selection process involved a combination of ESL’s world ranking and victories in various ESL tournaments.
Kicking off on January 31 with the play-in stage, 16 teams will engage in a double-elimination bracket.
Teams facing two losses will be eliminated, while those securing two wins will advance to the main event.
Subsequently, eight teams from the play-in will progress to the group stage, commencing on February 3, joining the eight teams directly invited.
In the group stage, the initial teams will be distributed into two double-elimination best-of-three groups.
Teams securing first place in their groups will advance to the semi-finals, while the second and third-placed teams will head to the quarter-finals.
The grand final of IEM Katowice 2024 will be a best-of-five showdown.
