This edition of IEM Katowice will start with a play-in tournament where 16 teams will be fighting for eight spots at the main event on February 16-17. When the group stage team list is finalized, the main event will kick off on February 18th, leading to a six-team playoff bracket. No games in the Spodek this year, but plenty of online action Both the Fantasy game for the Play-in event and the group stage of the main tournament are open for action, due to the small timeframe between the first finishing and the second starting. After the group stage, a separate playoff Fantasy game will be held. Currently, only players from eight directly-invited teams are available for selection in the group stage game, but more teams will be added to the game as they qualify from the Play-in stage.
