IEM Cologne 2025 Playoffs Schedule Confirmed – Bracket Set for Final Stage
The bracket for the IEM Cologne 2025 playoffs has officially been set following the conclusion of the group stage. Eight teams remain in contention for the title, and they now prepare for the final stage of the $1,000,000 LAN event at the iconic LANXESS Arena in Cologne, Germany.
After five days of group play, the top six teams advanced to the playoffs — three from each group. The top seed in each group has earned a direct spot in the semi-finals, while second and third seeds will face off in the quarter-finals. All matches from this point forward will be played in a single-elimination format, with best-of-three series until the grand final, which will be a best-of-five.
The playoffs will run from Friday, August 1, through Sunday, August 3, culminating in the grand final, where the winner will take home $400,000 and a direct invite to the IEM Krakow 2026 championship. Second place will receive $180,000, while third and fourth will each secure $80,000.
The winner of NaVi - MongolZ will face Spirit; MOUZ - FURIA will face Vitality. It's probable to see a Vitality - Spirit matchup in the grand final.
