Closed qualification kicks off today at IEM Katowice 2020 for Oceania!

Participants of the qualifying stage got the opportunity to fight for the only invite to the LAN-finals thanks to the invitation received or good results in open qualification. Ground Zero Gaming, Paradox Gaming, ex-Genuine Gaming and Airborne Esports Club made it through a preliminary open qualifying round. Avant Gaming, ORDER, Renegades, and PC419 have become lucky owners of direct invitations. It should be noted that instead of PC419, the performance of the Chiefs Esports Club team was originally planned, but the latter withdrew from the tournament.

Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2020 will be held from February 25 to March 1 in Katowice, Poland. The venue for the decisive matches will traditionally be the Spodek Arena, with a total prize pool of $ 500,000. 16 participants will be engaged in its distribution, 14 of which we already know. The championship will feature 100 Thieves, Evil Geniuses, Team Liquid, NAVI, NiP, Virtus.pro and Team Vitality, who received direct invitations. Fnatic, Astralis and mousesports will also stay on the sidelines and compete for the main cash prize of $ 250,000 as winners of DreamHack Masters Malmo 2019, IEM Beijing 2019 and ESL Pro League Season 10 Finals, respectively.
