For those looking to see the best CS2 teams fight it out at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center for their share of the $250,000 pie, prepare for IEM Dallas 2024’s May 27 start.

The tournament will run all the way through to June 2, with each stage of the event taking several days to complete. Teams will be split into two Group Stages. The top three teams of Groups A and B will make their way to the Playoff Stage, with the remaining 10 teams kicked out of the tournament. 

Fortunately, those who’ve lost the initial BO1 or the latter BO3 matchup in the Group Stage will have the luxury of going through the lower bracket. From there, they will have one more chance to qualify for the Playoff Stage.
