Team Spirit lifts the 2024 IEM Katowice trophyAdela Sznajder/ESL

IEM Katowice 2024 playoffs has wrapped up, and Team Spirit has lifted the trophy after a dominant run, losing only one map in the win. Here is all you need to know of the tournament.

The 2024 edition of IEM Katowice is already chock-full of important storylines as teams test their roster’s capabilities in the first big tournament of the 2024 season.

Top teams like Vitality, NAVI and Heroic were eliminated before making it to the arena, while surprise new lineups like Spirit and MOUZ impressed, reaching the Spodek with ease.

Team Spirit as it turns out would have one of the most dominant Katowice runs in history, only losing one map the entire tournament, with their young gun Danil “donk” Kryshkovets putting on a world-class performance to net him the MVP just at 17 years old.

Team Spirit met FaZe Clan in the Grand Finals, this not being FaZe’s first Kato finals. However, it seems the CS giants in FaZe clan were no match against donk and Team Spirit, being handily defeated in a 3-0.

Here are all the details you need to know about IEM Katowice, including the full schedule, lineups, and format, and final results.

IEM Katowice 2024: Format

The IEM format was largely unchanged from previous years. Sixteen teams have qualified for the Play-In stage and will face off in a double-elimination bracket. The first matches were best-of-ones and all other were best-of-threes.

The Group Stage featured invited teams and the Play-In Stage teams split into 2 eight-team double-elimination brackets. All matches will be best-of-three series and the top three from each group will qualify for the Playoffs.

The Playoffs were a six-team single-elimination bracket with the top finishes in the group stage seeded directly to the semifinals. The quarterfinals and semifinals were best-of-three matches, with the Grand Final as the sole best-of-five match.

IEM Katowice 2024: Schedule

The tournament ran from January 31 – February 11, and the playoffs stage will take place in the Spodek Arena from February 9-11. Here were the schedules:

  • Play-In: January 31 – February 2
  • Group Stage: February 3 – 6
  • Playoffs: February 9 – 11
