Renegades has been on an upward trajectory in the last year, finally proving to be a team able to beat the best of the best. This is why we have selected 2 players from the team in Gratisfaction and Liazz. They both have the ability to put up a great fight when working together, so if they can overcome the pressure of Katowice, we are sure they will do great things at this event.

Astralis will be looking to continue their domination from 2018, here at IEM Katowice 2019. To do this a vital player will be dupreeh, which relies on momentum to get rolling. We are certain that he will go absolutely insane at this tournament, with the major trophy motivating him.

Vitality has managed to qualify for the group stage of this great tournament, especially with the help of 2 players named ALEX and RpK. They may not be known for being the star players on their team, and that is exactly what makes them dangerous, as they still have the ability to dominate their opponents. So watch out for those guys at IEM Katowice 2019.
