On the last day of the group stage we saw Outsiders knock out OG, Complexity send Fnatic packing, and pre-tournament favourites FaZe Clan going home early after Team Liquid defeated them in a tight three-map series.
Outsiders then booked their place in the playoffs by eliminating Complexity in a three-map thriller, while G2 Esports continued their unbeaten streak of 10 wins when they destroyed Natus Vincere 2-0 to book their semi-final spot.
G2 Esports and Heroic are the two form teams at IEM Katowice 2023, after getting through the group stage unscathed.
Heroic only lost one map during group play, to Complexity in their opening series, and they were quick to despatch Team Vitality 2-0 and book their semi-final place.
