IEM Fall Europe, the last Regional Major Ranking (RMR) tournament before the PGL Major Stockholm, is set to run from Sept. 29 to Oct. 10.
This CS:GO event will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, and is the only IEM Fall tournament to be played on a LAN setup. Twenty-four teams will be competing for their share of the $105,000 prize pool and, most importantly, for RMR points.
Heroic, G2, mousesports, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Vitality, BIG, FunPlus Phoenix, Astralis, DBL Poney, Sprout, and OG are the European squads that would currently qualify for the PGL Major Stockholm. But that can change after IEM Fall because there’s a total of 18,908 RMR points on the line.
Here’s everything you need to know about IEM Fall Europe.
Stream
IEM Fall Europe will be broadcast on ESL’s three Twitch channels since the event will feature simultaneous matches during the group stage. You won’t want to miss any of the action on the main broadcast, second channel, and third channel.
Format
The 24 teams have been split into four groups of six teams each. The teams will play each other once during the group stage and all of the matches will be best-of-one series. The top two teams from each group advance to the playoffs, while the third-placed teams will play in the ninth-to-12th place tiebreakers.
The playoffs will use a single-elimination bracket and every match will be played as a best-of-three series, except the grand finals, which will use a best-of-five format. Tiebreaker matches will be played for all placements.
The winner of IEM Fall Europe will earn $27,500 plus 2,500 RMR points, while the runners-up will grab $17,500 and 2,344 RMR points.
