IEM Katowice 2020 - Day One Group Stage Results

Yesterday marked the start of IEM Katowice 2020’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament. Bringing together some of the best teams from around the world, the Group Stage kicked off with two double-elimination groups of eight.  

In Group A, Astralis had no trouble defeating Cloud9, and neither did Team Vitality against Ninjas in Pyjamas. FaZe Clan took the first game in their match against Natus Vincere, but the Ukrainian team turned things around in the following two games. Facing Renegades, Fnatic secured a 2-0 win, which sends them to the next Upper Bracket round. 

Group B saw only a little action with just two games played from the Opening Round. In their game against TYLOO, mousesports defeated their opponents 2-0, while G2 Esports did the same against 100 Thieves.
