Stage 3 of the IEM Cologne Major opened with two of the day's biggest surprises in the Counter-Strike 2 Swiss bracket, as 9z eliminated PARIVISION and BetBoom knocked out The MongolZ. Lower-seed side FUT Esports also pushed Team Vitality to a deciding third map before falling, a sign of how tight the bottom of the bracket has become heading into the playoffs. With the Swiss rounds complete, the Major now pauses for three days before the main stage bracket begins on June 18 in Cologne.
