IEM Dallas Schedule & Format
At IEM Dallas 2025, the event is planned from 19th to 25th May. The Group Stage matches will happen from 19th to 22nd May.

As an enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that at IEM Dallas 2025, the tournament structure promises a captivating two-phase experience: first, the Group Stage, and then the intense single-elimination Playoff bracket. In the Group Stage, you’ll find two groups modeled after GSL (Global StarCraft II League) format, each hosting eight dynamic teams. This setup ensures a thrilling and fair competition, with no team’s journey ending too soon!
In the Group Stage, every contest is a three-game series. The top three squads from each group move on to the Playoffs. Teams who win their respective groups get direct access to the Semifinals, whereas second-place teams advance to the Quarterfinals as High Seeds, and third-place teams join the Quarterfinals as Low Seeds.
In the playoffs, there will be a tournament with six teams participating. This tournament eliminates one team after each round, until only one remains. The Quarterfinals and Semifinals consist of three matches each, while the final showdown is a series of five matches that decides the ultimate winner.
