Famed esports series Intel Extreme Masters celebrated its 100th edition in the U.S. at IEM Dallas with 16 of the world’s best Counter-Strike 2 teams converging on Texas for a shot at a massive prize pool and an all-important invite to IEM Cologne.
A lineup of squads hit U.S. shores on May 27. MOUZ went back-to-back with S-Tier tournament wins and looked to continue their scintillating form, while the likes of FaZe, Complexity, Vitality, NAVI, Spirit, and a G2 squad featuring Stewie2K were out to stop them.
We can’t forget the challengers to the crown either—Virtus.pro, FlyQuest, HEROIC, Falcons, and Monte have shown they’ve got what it takes to cause an upset.
Here’s what you need to know about IEM Dallas 2024: Full schedule, results, and streams.
IEM Dallas 2024 CS2 format and prizes
IEM Dallas 2024 was a 16-team CS2 tournament. This was the third time IEM has returned to the Texan city in as many years and it certainly wasn’t a trophy teams wanted to miss; the win secured not only a $100,000 USD prize but also a direct invite to IEM Cologne 2024 in August.
The 16 teams in Dallas were split into two groups, with each playing out a double-elimination bracket. Both teams that survived the upper bracket qualified for the playoffs, with the winner of the upper bracket final starting their finals run in the semis. The upper-bracket loser and the lower-bracket winner were reseeded into the quarterfinals.
The playoffs consisted of a single elimination bracket, with every match a best-of-three—including the grand final on Monday, June 3.
