Due to press not being allowed into the venue on the first two days of IEM Katowice, we are severely limited in terms of capturing footage at the event in Poland.

Unfortunately, when we arrived at the venue, we were told that press isn't allowed to enter the venue on the first two days of competition.

That means we won't be able to get any footage from the entire group stage, which is reserved for the first two days before the playoffs move on to the Spodek arena's main stage from Friday on.

We will still try to get in touch with some of the teams from group B today to at least give you some pre-interviews, and grab group A teams to interview them about their results at their hotel at the end of the day, or tomorrow.

Stay tuned to HLTV.org as we will still provide you with as much as we are able to, including hot matches, statistics, rundowns of group results and possibly interviews.

Also make sure to follow @HLTVorg on Twitter, where we will be updating you with happenings at IEM Katowice.
