IEM Kraków 2026 Stage 1
Kraków, Poland
Four Teams Come Through Kraków's Opening Stage Without a Loss
The double-elimination stage feeding IEM Kraków 2026 sorted sixteen teams in twenty matches, sending 3DMAX, G2, NRG and PARIVISION through at 2-0 and four more home at 0-2. Rounds split almost evenly across it, 51.8 percent to the CT side. Its own last match settles nothing beyond seeding — the tournament it feeds is where the title is decided.
2026-01-28 – 2026-01-30, part of Season 4. 20 matches played across 48 maps at Tier 1 events — HLTV Majors and international LAN events with a prize pool between $600,000 and $2,000,000.
championWho took it
IEM Kraków 2026 Stage 1's own name marks it as one phase of a larger tournament — its last match's winner is not a tournament champion.

Per-map veto counts and the thin-sample rule
A row marked "thin sample" played under a quarter of this event's own busiest map — the same relative cut `/pro-meta` uses for a thin season or month, applied here within this one event. A map with no CT/T bar was banned before it was ever played, not omitted.
against the seasonHow it compares with its own season
This event played 48 maps at 51.8% CT; Season 4 as a whole played 1,046 maps at 53.9% CT (3.9pts CT-leaning) — 2.2pts more T-sided than the season as a whole.
48 maps is under a quarter of Season 4's 1,046 maps — a small sample against the season it sat in, marked here rather than read as equally trustworthy.
