Moreover, the group winners will earn a direct spot in the semi-finals, while the second and third-placed teams will begin their playoff journey in the quarterfinals.

Group A is set to deliver intense action, particularly as it is headlined by an opening match between G2 Esports and FaZe Clan. This encounter will mark their fifth meeting this year, with Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen's FaZe having secured their spot at the Fall Final through the Showdown.

Additionally, the group will feature a clash between Natus Vincere and Team Falcons, a match that pits one of the highest-ranked teams against one of the lowest at the event.

NAVI vs Falcons - 25th September 12:00 CEST

Group B

The second group kicks off with a highly anticipated showdown between Astralis and Vitality.

Group B opening matches and times:

Vitality vs Astralis - 25th September 17:00 CEST
Spirit vs Liquid - 25th September 19:30 CEST
