IEM Cologne Stage 1 final day: TYLOO v Lynn Vision; Liquid v FlyQuest; BIG v NRG
Six teams will play the final day of Stage 1 at IEM Cologne Major 2026 on June 5 as three winners claim the remaining Stage 2 berths.
Six teams will contest the final day of Stage 1 at the IEM Cologne Major 2026 in Cologne, Germany on June 5. Three matches in the 2-2 bracket will determine the last three spots in Stage 2 of the tournament.
The schedule lists TYLOO versus Lynn Vision at 12:00, Liquid against FlyQuest at 14:30, and NRG facing BIG at 17:00, all local time. Each match is an elimination game in the double-elimination 2-2 bracket; losing teams will be eliminated from the Major.
TYLOO will aim to recover from an 0-2 start at the event. Lynn Vision arrives after a heavy defeat to MIBR in their previous match. The two Chinese teams have met once this year, with TYLOO recording a 2-0 win in February.
Liquid meets FlyQuest in a match that places Justin \”jks\” Savage against his former organization and several former teammates. The clubs have not played each other in 2026; Liquid defeated FlyQuest twice last year.
BIG, a majority-German side playing in Cologne, must win after losing to GamerLegion and missing a direct Stage 2 berth. NRG enter the match following a comprehensive loss to M80 and will seek to advance.
The three winners on June 5 will join the other qualifiers in Stage 2 and alter the tournament draw for remaining teams.
