- Cloud9 win first tournament by dominating ENCE
- 3-0 sweep: 16-12, 16-11, and 16-3 scorelines
- Ax1Le named MVP
Just one week after PGL Major Antwerp came to a close, the international CS:GO calendar resumes with IEM Dallas. The week-long tournament will take place at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, with 16 teams vying for the lion’s share of a $250,000 prize pool.
Visa issues and the global health crisis have seen IEM Dallas lose some of its must-see appeal, with NAVI, Entropiq and Heroic all forced to withdraw from the event. Others, like NIP and ENCE, will have to field stand-ins.
Stephanie Lindgren/PGLIt was FaZe’s title to lose — and Cloud9 really showed up to them. After winning the last three international events, including the Major, FaZe Clan couldn’t continue their rampage towards the Intel Grand Slam.
