S1Mple will launch the first match on A.

ESL has announced the play time for the opening day of IEM Dallas, the tournament will start with the fascinating match between Faze and Liquid.

The match will mark the debut of Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev in the FAZE shirt, the team borrowed the Ukrainian star under the short -term contract until the end of the Major in Austin. This will also be his first tournament since the European region of Major Shanghai, where he played for Falcons.

It is still unclear whether Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard can attend the tournament when he is waiting for the second child to be born. The player is being pushed by Furia on the bench, Felipe "⁠skullz⁠" Medeiros, has been added to the FAZE team as a backup plan and will replace the Norwegian player if necessary.

As ESL announced in March, the teams in the top 4 at PGL Astana will be ranked at the latest time frame on Monday. This applies to Aurora and Furia, the teams are still competing to win the championship at PGL Astana and will have to play on Sunday, even if they lose in semi -finals on Saturday.

Aurora and Furia are expected to come to Dallas at 00:45 on May 19, nearly six hours before the Brazilian team met The Mongolz and the Turkish team against Heroic.
