IEM Katowice, one of the biggest CS:GO tournaments of 2022, is set to kick off soon.
Twenty-four Counter-Strike teams have traveled to Katowice, Poland to fight for their share of the $1 million prize pool. Sixteen of them, though, will be attending the play-in stage on Feb. 15 and 16, and only half of them will progress to the main stage, which will run from Feb. 17 to 27.
Some of the best CS:GO teams in the world, such as Natus Vincere, Gambit, Vitality, and G2, will be at IEM Katowice, which by itself should be more than enough to convince you to follow the action if you’re into Counter-Strike. This prestigious tournament will also feature a huge live audience as soon as the playoffs begin. The last time fans were able to follow the action live from the Spodek Arena was 2019.
