Group Stage Day 2 of IEM Cologne didn’t surprise us with any underdogs winning. It was the better team to come on top in every game. Group Stage Day 3 will bring us six matches, and four of them will be elimination matches and the last chance for some teams to show themselves. The most interesting one will probably be FaZe against Vitality, two top teams against each other, and this one is scheduled for 14:45 CET this Sunday. Complete list and overview of the Day 3 matches you will see below.

Group Stage Day 2 Matches Overview
Virtus.pro vs Falcons
Virtus.pro vs. Falcons – IEM Cologne 2024
Both teams are having a rough time going at this point. Hard to call any of them a favorite to win in this game since both teams are completely inconsistent with their play. Virtus.pro lost four games in a row while Falcons had a few wins but not against top teams as well. Interesting to watch if some of them will finally find their game here in an elimination match. Match is scheduled for 12:30 this Sunday.
Liquid vs FURIA
Liquid vs. FURIA – IEM Cologne 2024
These two teams met at the IEM Cologne 2024 Play-in Stage, and it was Liquid to win with a 2-1 score. Now, both teams are here at an elimination match. Both teams were doing well in this tournament right before they met top-tier opponents.Liquid got stopped by FaZe and lost with a 0-2 score, while FURIA had to play against Vitality and lost with a 0-2 score. Now, it’s both teams’ last chance to keep themselves at IEM Cologne 2024. This match is scheduled for 12:30 CET this Sunday.
Complexity vs MOUZ
Complexity vs. MOUZ – IEM Cologne 2024
Complexity currently has a win streak of three matches in a row but it’s hard to judge about MOUZform since they were one of the invited teams straight to the Group Stage and so far they played one game and won it. Last time these two teams met was at IEM Dallas 2024 and MOUZ won with a 2-1 score. Let’s see if few months did change something and if Complexity can turn it around this time. Match is scheduled for 14:45 CET this Sunday.
FaZe vs Vitality
FaZe vs. Vitality – IEM Cologne 2024
Match that probably everyone would like to watch. It’s a pure pleasure watching these two top teams playing. Last time they met at BLAST Premier Spring Final two months ago Vitalitywon with a 2-1 score. FaZe hasn’t found their best game for some time, but this game might be their chance to start showing their real strength. This match is scheduled for 14:45 CET this Sunday.
TheMongolZ vs paiN
TheMongolZ vs. paiN – IEM Cologne 2024
Two underdog teams will meet each other at the elimination match here. These two teams met before at PGL Major, and it was paiN to win with a 2-1 score. Now itâs TheMongolZ chance to take their revenge here. Both teams will give their all since theyâre young and hungry for big tournament wins. This match is scheduled for 17:45 this Sunday.
Astralis vs G2
Astralis vs. G2 – IEM Cologne 2024
It is an interesting match for one special reason: these two teams never met each other after all the roster updates both teams went through. Astralis is in good shape, and the only team they lost to at this tournament was Na’Vi. G2’s last match against Spirit, and G2 won with a 2-0 score, also shows their preparation. Let’s see who will be the better team at their first heads-up match. This match is scheduled for 17:45 CET this Sunday.
