Thanks to our current No. 8 ESL World Ranking (with 924 points), our main team has secured a spot at the prestigious IEM Cologne 2024.
Our ranking allows us to skip the Play-In stage and head directly to Stage 2, alongside tier 1 teams such as:
Four teams—MOUZ, FaZe, Spirit, and G2—were invited to the second phase based on their performances at major events in 2024.
In the main event, 16 teams will compete for glory.
Like the previous two editions of IEM Cologne, the Play-In stage will feature 16 teams duking it out for the final eight spots in the main event.
Last year, our former roster, led by in-game leader Benjamin "blameF" Bremer, fought their way from the Play-In stage to the semi-finals, making an impressive run through the lower bracket in Group B.
Securing a 3rd-4th place finish and $80,000 was one of our best achievements in the fall of 2023 at a major LAN tournament.
Our readjusted roster, featuring Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz as the new captain, is ready to make a significant impact in Cologne. We aim to kickstart a successful fall season, building on our strong spring performance with five playoff appearances and four semi-finals.
IEM Cologne is the last LAN event where our Main team will sport the new jersey, but there's still time for you to snag one of these unique creations from the Astralis x hummel x SAUNA collab.
