IEM Dallas 2025 invites announced

ESL revealed on February 7th the eight teams invited to IEM Dallas 2025, which will run from May 19th to 25th.

The $300,000 tournament will feature six of the top eight teams in the world, according to the latest Valve Regional Standing (VRS) update on February 3rd. Spirit and Natus Vincere were the only ones who declined the invite.

IEM Dallas is the last tier-one event before the BLAST.tv Austin Major in June. Aside from the eight teams invited, the remaining eight slots will be decided via European, South American, North American, and Asian qualifiers.

The North American closed qualifier, which will take place on February 11th and 12th, will have four teams fighting for a spot. BOSS and NRG received invites based on VRS and the other two slots will be filled via the winners of the open qualifier.
