BetBoom’s Road in the IEM Atlanta Closed Qualifier

BetBoom’s victory over ENCE was part of a strong winners-bracket run:

BetBoom previously defeated BASEMENT BOYS (2–0) in their opening playoff match.

ENCE reached the matchup after beating CYBERSHOKE (2–1).

Elsewhere in the bracket, Sinners defeated Alliance (2–0), shaping the next winners-side matchup.

After eliminating ENCE from the upper bracket, BetBoom advanced to the upper-bracket semifinal, scheduled for February 11, 2026.

IEM Atlanta 2026 Closed Qualifier Format

The qualifier runs February 10–12 (online) and features a double-elimination bracket with best-of-three series.

Only two teams qualify for the main IEM Atlanta event, making every upper-bracket win extremely valuable.

A victory in the semifinal would put BetBoom one step away from securing a spot at the LAN tournament.
