IEM Katowice playoff bracket set

4-2-2025 22:13

NAVI and Vitality will start from the semi-finals on opposite sides of the bracket.

IEM Katowice has reached playoffs, where Spirit will have a chance to defend their title in the Spodek after moving past surprise challenger GamerLegion in Group B's lower bracket final.

Six teams will fight for the trophy and notch in the Intel Grand Slam race from February 7-9, consisting of five out of the top eight-ranked sides — with G2, FaZe, and MOUZ missing out — and a resurgent Virtus.pro under Denis "⁠electroNic⁠" Sharipov's leadership.

"Haters are going to hate" electroNic says on leadership critique as VP heads to first Super Elite playoffs in two years

Natus Vincere and Vitality will start their playoff campaigns from the semi-finals after they made quick work of The MongolZ and Virtus.pro, respectively, in their upper bracket final matches.

Garidmagnai "⁠bLitz⁠" Byambasuren's men will face Eternal Fire for the first time since IEM Rio 2024, where The MongolZ emerged victorious 2-1 with two one-sided map wins.

The Mongolian team had a 3-1 series record (3-2 including a best-of-one loss at the Copenhagen Major) against the Turks last year but will face a new challenge with the team revitalized with Samet "⁠jottAAA⁠" Köklü.

Spirit and Virtus.pro will face off on the opposite side of the bracket for only the second time since the former added Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov and the latter brought in electroNic.

NAVI qualify for Spodek despite donk's heroics

The winner of that match will take on Natus Vincere, setting up the possibility of a rematch of the group stage nailbiter between the reigning Katowice champions and the team they hold a 7-2 series record for a spot in the final.

nt it will be mongolz vs VP

2025-02-04 22:31

fair

2025-02-04 22:35

Hey I like underdogs winning too, but Mongolz will choke sadly. They are still too young.

Vitality gotta face their Kryptonite - EF. We might get back to back Spirit vs EF Grand Final

2025-02-04 23:04

spirit vs ef---WE WILL BE THERE

2025-02-04 22:30

Semi final will be better than the final

If EF clear MongolZ then you've most likely got EF vs Vitality - usually very closed - and Spirit vs Navi which is a great matchup. If Vitality beat EF though then Vitality vs Navi or Spirit will be a phenomenal final

2025-02-04 23:09

bro acts like EF in finals wont be phenomenal as well with their form

2025-02-05 00:21

EF finally has some BO5 experience under their belt so I could be wrong - but I think if they face Spirit it won't look good. If they face NaVi I think it will be a closer matchup.

2025-02-05 00:25

Navi has to play spirit again? Wtf are these seedings, vitality get the dream run.

2025-02-04 22:45

Well obviously if it was the other way around they would have to play mongolz who they just played for seeding. In an ideal world navi would be 3 in valve ranking and mongolz on 6 and that would mean spirit and navi only play in upper bracket final not semi final therefore they can only play again in the finals

2025-02-04 23:32

anybody want to bet me that sh1ro will have the least amount of deaths in spirits next game?

2025-02-04 22:54

Only a fool would make that bet

2025-02-05 08:23

CIS bracket lol. Should be ez for Eternal Fire.

2025-02-04 22:59

Poor navi have to play Spirit twice just because they won everything lmao Very bad format should be vp/Spirit vs vit and mongolz/ef vs navi

2025-02-05 00:32

Typical Vitality luck strikes again, it's already boring.

2025-02-05 00:33

Hype 🔥

2025-02-05 00:54

This format is awful, just bring back 1/4 finals. Nevertheless, easy bracket for Vitality, but Spirit v Navi is the real final.

2025-02-05 02:39

vitality cant be reach the final :D

2025-02-05 06:51

i just started pretending the lower-bracket finals and upper-bracket finals in groups were extensions of playoffs

2025-02-05 10:02

spirit - navi early final again

2025-02-05 05:21

I need a rematch of Cologne Final!!! Vita v Navi LETS GO

2025-02-05 06:26

Shouldn't Navi be going to the Mongolz vs EF bracket and Vitality to VP and Spirit. Ideally teams that have the same group should not face each other except Finals

2025-02-05 10:42

Eternal Fire vs Navi will be the final.

2025-02-05 15:00

vitality okey for us but mongolz kinda feel like play like faceit lvl10 players and beat us also happy with spirit vp matchup im sick of these

2025-02-05 15:13

2025-02-05 15:26

2025-02-05 15:32
