Format of the IEM Dallas 2024

The format for this tournament is quite straightforward. Moreover, it will be played on an active-duty map pool where Dust 2 has been added in place of Overpass. It’ll be interesting to see teams implement new strategies for the good old map.

Here’s a quick rundown of the standard format of all CS2 Intel Extreme Masters tournaments:

• All 16 participating teams will be divided into two groups (A and B).
• The opening matches will be played as BO1, while the other matches will be played in a standard BO3 format, including the Final.
• The top 3 teams from each of the two groups will be qualified for the Playoffs stage.
• The winner of the group will directly qualify for the Semi-finals. Meanwhile, the 2nd placeholders will qualify for the Quarter-finals with higher seeds, while the 3rd placeholders will qualify for the same with lower seeds.

Additionally, the tournament's winner will automatically qualify for the IEM Cologne 2024, in August alongside 1400 BLAST Premier points.
