ESL has revealed the pairings for the quarter-finals of the IEM Katowice Major following the end of the New Legends Stage.

Astralis and Liquid, the two teams who made it out of the New Legends Stage unscathed, will be confident about their chances to reach the semi-finals after being paired with Ninjas in Pyjamas and ENCE, respectively.

Natus Vincere will meet FaZe in the headline match of the quarter-finals, which will be held on Thursday and Friday. This will be a rematch of the ELEAGUE Major Boston semi-final clash between these two heavyweights, which Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač's side won 2-0.
