Unlike experimental online formats, Krak\u00f3w follows a classic Intel Extreme Masters structure, testing teams across multiple stages \u2014 from studio play to a packed arena. With a $1,000,000 prize pool, a new map pool, and 24 teams in attendance, this event is less about surprises and more about proving long-term readiness.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"703\" data-end=\"712\">Format<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"714\" data-end=\"830\">IEM Krak\u00f3w 2026 features 24 teams divided across multiple stages, gradually increasing both pressure and stakes. The tournament begins with Stage 1, played offline in a studio environment. Sixteen teams compete in a double-elimination bracket, with all matches played as best-of-three series. Only eight teams survive and advance further \u2014 for the rest, the tournament ends before reaching the main spotlight.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1138\" data-end=\"1489\">Those eight teams join the directly invited squads in the Group Stage, which uses a GSL-style double-elimination format. Each group contains eight teams, with all matches again played as Bo3. Group winners advance directly to the semifinals, while second- and third-place teams qualify for the quarterfinals as high and low seeds respectively. The tournament concludes with the Playoffs, held in front of a live audience at TAURON Arena Krak\u00f3w. The playoff bracket is single-elimination: all matches are Bo3, except for the Grand Final, which is played as a Bo5.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1724\" data-end=\"1737\">Prize Pool<\/h3>\n<p
