A total of 12 teams will compete in the single-elimination playoff bracket, which begins on Monday, August 21st.
The online tournament, running from August 21st to August 26th, offers a prize pool of $50,000.
The teams were divided into four invites and eight squads that advanced from the group stage.
In the quarter-finals, the Danes are poised to face either OG or EYEBALLERS, who will battle it out on Tuesday, August 22nd, in the first round of the playoffs.
This week's face-off will mark the first time the players will be in action on the server since their impressive run at IEM Cologne 2023. They almost advanced straight from the play-in to the Grand Final but ended their run in the Semi-final with a 0-2 loss to G2 Esports.
Nevertheless, the team can leave Cologne with their heads held high, having achieved crucial and impressive wins along the way, including victories over Ninjas in Pyjamas, MOUZ, Natus Vincere, and finally, Heroic in the quarter-final.
