The group stage of Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2024 has come to an end, and with it all the participants of the play-offs stage of the cult tournament have been determined. In total, six strongest teams emerged from the two groups, among which there are both quite expected participants and some surprising representatives of the Counter-Strike scene.

Such teams as Natus Vincere and Team Vitality showed a great game, losing only one map in their groups. Both participants secured their place in the semi-finals of the play-offs.

The second places in groups A and B went to European club MOUZ and Portuguese SAW. And if MOUZ could be expected to see in the play-offs, the team demonstrates a consistently good game. The Portuguese from SAW managed to surprise the fans and the whole CS community in general. For example, on their way SAW defeated G2 Esports with the score 2:0 (Nuke - 13-5, Inferno - 13-10).

In addition, G2 Esports and FaZe Clan made it to the final stage. The most questions arose to the performance of G2 Esports, who showed an extremely unstable game, although they fulfilled their goal for the group stage. Karrigan and team, in turn, faced decent opposition and managed to make it through the bottom set.
