As a long-time fan of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and regular attendee of various esports events, I’m thrilled to see ESL shaking things up for IEM Cologne 2024. The switch from Best of 1 (BO1) to Best of 3 (BO3) format in the Play-In stage is a welcome change that adds more depth and excitement to the competition.
At IEM Cologne 2024, the Play-In stage is anticipated to be more engaging due to a change in format. ESL has decided to replace the Best of 1 (BO1) matches with Best of 3 (BO3) ones. Consequently, teams will have an opportunity to showcase their skills over multiple games, potentially leading to thrilling and closely contested Counter-Strike matches.

Here are twenty-four top-tier Counter-Strike teams ready to compete. It’s only a matter of time before one of them emerges victorious in the #IEM Cologne 2024 tournament.
