ESL says CS2 could debut at IEM Cologne: ‘We remain cautiously optimistic’

With all the hype around the CS2 beta, many fans from across the globe have been wondering when the game will be played at the professional level. IEM Cologne, which will run from July 25 to Aug. 6, is one of the first tier-one tournaments following the end of the summer player break—and there’s a chance it will run on CS2 rather than CS:GO.

“We are excited by the prospect of potentially having IEM Cologne be the first top-tier, global Counter-Strike 2 tournament,” ESL told Dot Esports on June 12. “With that said, we will remain cautiously optimistic because we want the game to be in a good playable, and competitive state. This is key for us at such a prestigious tournament where we are looking to crown the world’s best team.”
