Counter Strike: Global Offensive Continues to be one of the most popular games when it comes to the world of esports, and there is a massive event currently taking place. That event would be the IEM Katowice 2024, and some of the top CS:GO teams are currently competing for the top prize.
Not only is this one of the most exciting events of the year, but it’s also one that comes with some great betting opportunities. There have already been a number of upsets throughout the tournament, and that has created some interesting drama along the way.
That field has continued to be cut down over the last few days, and a champion is going to be crowned soon. Following along with the action has been exciting, but the competing teams also agreed to add a new wrinkle to improve the action.
Teams at the IEM Katowice have been playing with the same format throughout the event, but things shifted in a big way once the field got down to just eight teams.
Teams Vote on New Patch
It’s very rare that the developers of Counter-Strike 2 would release an update that could impact gameplay during a major event, but that was the case a few days ago. This release was put out for the casual players to enjoy, but the final eight teams in the IEM Katowice 2024 wanted to use that new format as well.
Teams were given the opportunity to try out the new format before coming up with a plan, but it was clear that everyone was in agreement. The latest update provided a much better overall format and the teams wanted to use it moving forward.
The new update is not expected to change the way that the top teams play, but it will impact how some of the scenes are viewed on the screen. Developers continue to try to make as many changes as necessary to improve the game, and the top teams were impressed with what was seen.
Since betting on the IEM Katowice 2024 is so prevalent, that had to be taken into account before deciding to use the new patch. While this new release will improve things for the top teams, the updates are not going to impact the betting odds in anyway.
This is still a monumental day in CS-2 play, and it could set a precedence for other events moving forward. The developers might feel new pressure to come out with new releases right before or during other big events to provide the best overall experience.
A Look At the Tournament
Things are starting to heat up at the IEM Katowice 2024, and there are two teams that have already punched their tickets to the semifinals. Those two teams are Spirit and MOUZ, but two other teams are going to be joining them soon.
There are two quarterfinals matchups set to take place, and those two matchups are highly-anticipated. One of the matchups will feature G2 against FaZe Clan, while the other battle will be between ENCE and the Falcons.
The matchup between ENCE and Falcons should be tremendous, but all eyes will be on the battle between G2 and FaZe Clan. These are two of the best teams in the sport, and both teams have been extremely impressive so far in this event.
G2 is the reigning champion of this event, but the betting odds would suggest that FaZe Clan is going to get this one done in the quarterfinals. The other Spirit and MOUZ get a chance to rest while these teams battle, but they will have to play well to beat the winner of this matchup.
