12-6-2024 22:54

IEM Cologne's 24 participants have been determined after the German team's qualification.

hyped has secured an appearance at another Big Event

ALTERNATE aTTaX have laid claim to a spot in the IEM Cologne 2024 Play-In, besting Versager trupp in the event's German open qualifier with ease.

As BIG had already secured a place in the Play-In through their ESL World Ranking, ALTERNATE aTTaX did not have to worry about facing off against Germany's top side in the qualifier.

ESL confirm IEM Cologne invites

ALTERNATE aTTaX bolstered their lineup earlier in the year by bringing in BIG Academy duo Luc "⁠ArroW⁠" Oehmke and Marcel "⁠hyped⁠" Köhn, but the team has encountered difficulties making deep runs in their various online outings.

The squad has made only two LAN outings so far this year, at the Copenhagen Gaming Week showmatch event and XP Game Fest, a LAN in Pristina, Kosovo, primarily featuring local teams where ALTERNATE aTTaX finished in 3-4th place.

The IEM Cologne Play-In will serve as the ALTERNATE aTTaX organization's first Big Event since ELEAGUE Season 2 in late 2016, when the squad still featured names like Tizian "⁠tiziaN⁠" Feldbusch and Florian "⁠syrsoN⁠" Rische.

ALTERNATE aTTaX's campaign in the IEM Cologne Play-In will kick off on August 7, where Lukas "⁠FreeZe⁠" Hegmann's troops will be hoping to secure one of the eight spots in the main event up for grabs.

The list of teams slated to attend IEM Cologne is now:

wel okay syrson once again. for me bigs problem always was tabsen/gobb style of calling. too much 'slow playing calls' and too less individual freedom for everyone. they always lack a dynamic playstyle when I watched them. micromanaging is not meta anymore.

.... <3 Decade ago this was spectacular news, nowadays it is below the average .. ★ How this legendary CS 1.6 organisation didn't make proper team even after 11-12 years, really strange and confusing New generations are not even aware how much this organisation was strong back in days ; always with interesting lineups, always on the top .. ★
