ESL Pro League Season 24 organizers announced the official team seedings and opening matchups for the upcoming [[cs2]] tournament. The event utilizes a Swiss system group stage format to determine the playoff contenders. Seedings relied on averaging teams self-assessments regarding potential opponents, while ignoring extreme scores.

Several rosters shifted significantly in the standings. Vitality climbed two positions to secure the 2nd seed, and Aurora jumped three spots into 7th place. Conversely, MOUZ and 9z dropped two positions compared to their VRS ranking.

First-round fixtures follow a traditional structure where top seeds face the lowest-ranked participants. Opening matches feature Team Falcons against TYLOO, MOUZ versus M80, Legacy taking on PVISION, and FURIA playing bbteam. Additional encounters pit Aurora against 9z, Spirit versus ShindeN, and Vitality against 1win.

The headline opening match pairs Natus Vincere against G2. This encounter serves as a direct rematch for their previous elimination clash at BLAST Open Porto 2026.
