October 13 at 15:00 CET a new tournament begins.
IEM Beijing, where Astralis are reigning champions from 2019, has 16 top teams fighting for the $150,000 prize pool and the trophy.
Astralis starts off the group stage match against the notorious Finns from ENCE. Should Astralis prevail, they will face the winner of BIG vs. Mousesports for a shot at the playoffs. A loss would mean another run through the lower bracket, which Astralis has shown capable of handling at Pro League earlier this year.
Match start: October 13, CET 15:00.
