After Heroic’s demolition job over Astralis in the final closed qualifier match, we finally have our full list of teams attending IEM Dallas 2025. Taking place from May 19th – 25th, 16 teams will fly out to Dallas, Texas, in the hopes of recreating the magic of the iconic GStew run at last year’s event.
The quality of teams is very high, although there are a couple of big teams that won’t be in attendance. Even still, IEM Dallas 2025 promises to be one of the most exciting CS2 tournaments of the year.

The qualifying process for IEM Dallas 2025 has been pretty straightforward. Eight teams have been invited directly via the VRS rankings across the globe, while another eight have earned their spots by playing a set of open and closed qualifiers over the last couple of weeks. The exciting process has finally reached its conclusion, resulting in the following 16 teams reaching IEM Dallas 2025:
IEM Dallas 2025 Invited Teams
- Vitality (VRS (Europe))
- Eternal Fire (VRS (Europe))
- G2 Esports (VRS (Europe))
- FaZe Clan (VRS (Europe))
- MOUZ (VRS (Europe))
- The MongolZ (VRS (Asia))
- Liquid (VRS (North America))
- FURIA (VRS (South America))
- Falcons (Europe Closed Qualifier)
- GamerLegion (Europe Closed Qualifier)
- 3DMAX (Europe Closed Qualifier)
- BC.Game (Europe Closed Qualifier)
- Heroic (Europe Closed Qualifier)
- Lynn Vision (Asia Closed Qualifier)
- Legacy (South America Closed Qualifier)
- NRG (North America Closed Qualifier)
The two notable absentees are Spirit and NAVI, both of whom declined their invites to IEM Dallas 2025 as per the rules. It’s not clear exactly why these two have chosen to skip out on IEM Dallas, but it does mean both will have a pretty large break before the Austin Major in June, especially if they both skip PGL Astana 2025, too. As two of the favorites for the BLAST.tv Austin Major, it could prove to be an important choice.
