ESL sets dates for IEM Katowice, IEM Cologne in 2023
IEM Katowice and IEM Cologne, the two flagship CS:GO tournaments of the ESL Pro Tour, will run from Jan. 31 to Feb. 12 and from July 25 to Aug. 6 respectively, ESL has confirmed today.
The dates are different from the ones ESL used for the 2022 edition of these tournaments. IEM Katowice 2023 will take place two weeks earlier than its 2022 edition, while IEM Cologne 2023 will be played two weeks later compared to 2022. This means that IEM Cologne 2023 will take place after the summer player break, so it’s less likely that we’ll see lackluster CS:GO rosters attending one of the most prestigious Counter-Strike events on the calendar.
