Who Will Win IEM Cologne Major 2026?

The group stage is done. Eight teams have made it through to the IEM Cologne 2026 playoffs, and one of them will lift the trophy on June 22nd.

The bracket is brutal from the start. Team Spirit and G2 open things up in what could easily have been a grand final matchup. Vitality and Falcons meet in the quarters — meaning one of the two biggest favorites is out before the semis even start. FURIA and 9z give us an all-Americas derby, while Aurora and BetBoom complete the eight.

Quarter-finals run June 18–21. Semis and the grand final follow on June 21–22 at the LANXESS Arena in Cologne. The prize pool is $500,000.

So — who do you think goes all the way? Cast your vote below.
