Today at 19:00 CET, the matches of the IEM Katowice 2024 closed European regional qualifier will begin. It will feature 16 players, only seven of whom will qualify for the main tournament.
In the first match, NAVI StarCraft player Piotr «Spirit» Walukiewicz will face Protoss Jieshi of DKZ Gaming. Jieshi is seventh in the ESL Pro Tour 2023/24 Asia rankings and has participated mostly in team tournaments this year. Notably, PvT is his weakest matchup (48.3% win rate).
In order to qualify for the top bracket, Spirit needs to win two matches. In case of a loss, the NAVI player's path will become much longer.
