IEM Chengdu 2024 is the second IEM event of 2024 and the third big international LAN in CS2 esports. Here is everything that happened at the tournament.
IEM Chengdu directly followed the Copenhagen Major and was a chance for teams to redeem themselves from the event, or establish themselves as players for the Shanghai.
This event was full of entertainment as Team Liquid made its case to be feared at LAN by stamping through the group stage upper bracket and Astralis showcased a return to form by making it to the semifinals. However, FaZe Clan seemed inevitable as it rallied from the lower bracket and did what the team couldn’t do in Copenhagen.
The tournament action ended on April 14. The event’s match VODs, format, and match results are below.

IEM Chengdu 2024: Format
The event will see the 16 teams split into two groups of eight. Those groups will face off in a GSL Group Stage fashion, meaning they will all be seeded into a double-elimination bracket. The opening matches will be best-of-one games with all following matchups being best-of-three series. The top three teams from each group will move on to the playoffs.
The No. 1 team from each group will advance to the semifinals while the runners-up will play in the quarterfinals against the third-place squads. The playoffs will be a single elimination bracket were all matches are best-of-three.
IEM Chengdu will not have a play-in stage like what was featured at IEM Katowice.
