G2 are the first Big Event champions of 2023 with a 3-1 victory over Heroic in the grand final.
G2 are the IEM Katowice champions after defeating Heroic 3-1 in the grand final. Cousins Nikola "NiKo" Kovač and Nemanja "huNter-" Kovač lifted the trophy together, a momentous occasion in particular for the younger of the Kovač cousins who has played the IEM Katowice grand final three times before finally lifting the iconic trophy in Poland.
This title is Justin "jks" Savage's second IEM Katowice in a row after raising it as a stand-in with FaZe in 2022, which makes the Australian the first player to win it back to back since 2016 and the first player to ever do it with two different teams.
The international squad won the title without losing a single series and only dropping one map along the way, in the best-of-five grand final, extending their ongoing win streak to 12 matches
