Everything you need to know about the event, including how to watch, the schedule and results, and the teams participating can be found here.
IEM Katowice is one of Counter-Strike’s biggest events. Returning to Poland again for 2022, 24 teams will duke it out for a share of $1 million, including $400,000 for the winners.
Like all IEM CS:GO events, you can keep track of IEM Katowice 2022 by watching ESL’s official Twitch stream. If you miss a game you can catch up with VODs on the ESL YouTube channel.
The 24 teams descending on the Spodek for IEM Katowice 2022 are split into two seeds; eight teams going right through to the Main Event, and 16 teams who have to tackle the Play-In gauntlet.
All the big names are here. NAVI, Gambit, G2 Esports, and Vitality have pushed through to the Main Event, and so too Liquid. Ninjas in Pyjamas, Astralis, and MIBR will have to get through Play-Ins first. There has been one change ahead of the event: Chinese team TYLOO has been forced to pull out, with Sprout taking their place.
