With 16 teams battling it out, IEM Winter promises to be 10 days of intense battles, with some of the biggest talent in Counter Strike.

The 16 teams who made it to this event are Virtus.pro, Astralis, Vitality, GODSENT, NIP, MOUZ, OG, BIG, FaZe, TYLOO, ENCE, Heroic, Gambit, Liquid, G2 & fnatic. All of which are some of the best not only in their own regions of the globe, but also some of the best amongst all of the Counter Strike teams. However, those of you who are observant may notice the current colossus of Natus Vincere is absent from this event, this means not only is the chance of yet another all CIS final in 2021 a lot lower, but it also means that any of the teams here in this event could go all the way and take the prize money.

The schedule is as follows, with the initial matches already filled in, the opening rounds, which are the matches we already know the teams for, are all best of one affairs. Then future matches are switched to a more traditional best of three, with the Grand Final is a huge best of five, all of the times given below are in GMT/UTC +/- 0 format.
