The final series of Regional Major Rankings is upon us. The IEM Fall events for all major CS:GO regions are set to begin at the end of September and run through the beginning of October. These events will take place just weeks before the start of the PGL Stockholm Major, which is on track to begin on Oct. 26 live from Avicii Arena in Sweden’s capital.
IEM Fall will shape the final rankings for each region prior to Stockholm and will determine each team’s status—and, therefore, their starting point. Here are the groups and participants for all six IEM Fall events.
