Group Stage Day 2<\/strong> of IEM Cologne<\/strong> didn’t surprise us with any underdogs winning. It was the better team to come on top in every game. Group Stage Day 3<\/strong> 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 <\/strong>against Vitality<\/strong>, two top teams against each other, and this one is scheduled for 14:45 CET<\/strong> this Sunday<\/strong>. Complete list and overview of the Day 3 matches you will see below.<\/p>\n

Group Stage Day 2 Matches Overview<\/h2>\n

Virtus.pro vs Falcons<\/h3>\n
\"\" <\/span><\/div>\n

Virtus.pro vs. Falcons – IEM Cologne 2024<\/em><\/p>\n

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<\/strong> lost four games in a row while Falcons <\/strong>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 <\/strong>this Sunday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Liquid vs FURIA<\/h3>\n

Liquid vs. FURIA – IEM Cologne 2024<\/em><\/p>\n

These two teams met at the IEM Cologne 2024 Play-in Stage<\/strong>, and it was Liquid <\/strong>to win with a 2-1 score<\/strong>. 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 <\/strong>got stopped by FaZe <\/strong>and lost with a 0-2 score, <\/strong>while FURIA <\/strong>had to play against Vitality <\/strong>and lost with a 0-2 score<\/strong>. Now, it’s both teams’ last chance to keep themselves at IEM Cologne 2024<\/strong>. This match is scheduled for 12:30 CET<\/strong> this Sunday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Complexity vs MOUZ<\/h3>\n

Complexity vs. MOUZ – IEM Cologne 2024<\/em><\/p>\n

Complexity <\/strong>currently has a win streak of three matches in a row but it’s hard to judge about MOUZ<\/strong>form since they were one of the invited teams straight to the Group Stage <\/strong>and so far they played one game and won it. Last time these two teams met was at IEM Dallas 2024<\/strong> and MOUZ <\/strong>won with a 2-1 score<\/strong>. Let’s see if few months did change something and if Complexity <\/strong>can turn it around this time. Match is scheduled for 14:45 CET<\/strong> this Sunday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

FaZe vs Vitality<\/h3>\n
\"\" <\/span><\/div>\n

FaZe vs. Vitality – IEM Cologne 2024<\/em><\/p>\n

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<\/strong> two months ago Vitality<\/strong>won with a 2-1 score<\/strong>. FaZe <\/strong>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<\/strong> this Sunday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

TheMongolZ vs paiN<\/h3>\n
\"\" <\/span><\/div>\n

TheMongolZ vs. paiN – IEM Cologne 2024<\/em><\/p>\n

Two underdog teams will meet each other at the elimination match here. These two teams met before at PGL Major<\/strong>, and it was paiN <\/strong>to win with a 2-1 score<\/strong>. Now it’\u0099s TheMongolZ <\/strong>chance to take their revenge here. Both teams will give their all since they’\u0099re young and hungry for big tournament wins. This match is scheduled for 17:45 <\/strong>this Sunday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Astralis vs G2<\/h3>\n
\"\" <\/span><\/div>\n

Astralis vs. G2 – IEM Cologne 2024<\/em><\/p>\n

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 <\/strong>is in good shape, and the only team they lost to at this tournament was Na’Vi. G2’s <\/strong>last match against Spirit, <\/strong>and G2 <\/strong>won with a 2-0 score<\/strong>, 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<\/strong> this Sunday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
