IEM Katowice, the first big event of the year, is set to start on Wednesday February 1 and will take place over two weeks before concluding with a best-of-five grand final on February 12.
The tournament will feature 24 teams and will kick off with the Play-In, which will take place on a double-elimination bracket and will have eight spots for the next group stage up for grabs. These eight will join eight other teams that have received invites to the main event (see below).
