The group stage of IEM Katowice 2025 has come to an end, and now the teams will have two days off before the start of the playoffs. But for now, it's the perfect time to look back at the matches, especially since there were plenty of exciting moments.

Let's start with the teams that won their groups. Team Vitality, after a brutal match with FaZe Clan, had no issues against Virtus.pro, giving the Bears a quality lesson.

Natus Vincere, on the other hand, took revenge on Team Spirit and then went on to defeat The MongolZ. It's important to note that the Ukrainian team is highly motivated in Katowice. It's not just about the prestige of the trophy, but also because a win in Poland would essentially pave the way for the second Intel Grand Slam in the club's history.

We'll also highlight the amazing performance of Eternal Fire. The Turkish team is on the rise, and their match against FaZe Clan was a highlight of the day.

The second map lasted 47 rounds, and XANTARES seemed like he was playing World of Warcraft rather than CS2, dealing over 5000 damage during that map!
