ESL has published the schedule for IEM Chengdu 2024

ESL has unveiled the fire pairings for the upcoming IEM Chengdu tournament, which starts on April 8th! With $250,000 on the line, Counter-Strike fans can expect a high-octane battle and a potential sensational elimination.

The main intrigue unfolds in Group A, where the Counter-Strike legend cadiaN will meet with his former team HEROIC. Liquid will be looking to prove their dominance over their ex-leader, while HEROIC will be looking to show that they are a thing of the past. This opening match promises an exciting clash of strategies and animosities.

Chinese hopes, unfortunately, hang by a thread. Lynn Vision and TYLOO ended up in Group A, in the same part of the bracket. This means that one of the Chinese favorites is likely to be eliminated from the tournament.

FaZe and MOUZ, the two teams occupying the first two places in the ranking, ended up in different groups, so the path to the final seems open. However, exciting matchups such as Cloud9 vs. Jeeves and Astralis vs. Monte ensure that every match will be intense. Stay tuned for more in-depth analysis of each group and predictions for potential stars!
