Party Astronauts look for revenge in second IEM Dallas Open Qualifier

The second IEM Dallas 2024 Open Qualifier is set to begin tonight, and with it, the teams that fell short in the first Open Qualifier will look to battle back and claim the coveted final spot in the Closed Qualifier. Among the top teams in contention is Party Astronauts, who put on a stellar showing last night by taking down NRG before almost taking down Liquid in a nail-biting three-map series.

Alongside Party Astronauts are a number of other hungry top ESL Challenger League teams, including NRG, Wildcard, and MIGHT, all teams that made top eight in the previous qualifier but ultimately fell short on day two. Other squads to keep an eye out for include Take Flyte, FLUFFY AIMERS, Mythic, LAG, and Limitless, all ECL-level teams who will look to play dark horse in the qualifier.

Currently, notable teams signed up for the second IEM Dallas 2024 Open Qualifier include:

Additionally, Elevate are currently signed up for the qualifier, however Dust2.us was unable to confirm if they will play tonight. Wyatt "snav" Phillippi previously told Dust2.us they would be unable to play day two of the Closed Qualifier, should they make it that far, due to travel for the PGL Major Copenhagen Americas RMR. Carpe Diem are also currently not signed up for the qualifier, with Dust2.us unable to determine if they plan on playing today.

The second IEM Dallas 2024 Open Qualifier is set to start tonight at 06:00PM. Teams interested in signing up may do so here.
