IEM Championships returning to Katowice

Intel Extreme Masters Championships will be returning to Katowice next year.

The last stop of Intel Extreme Masters Season 10 will be returning to the Spodek Arena in Katowice, Poland. The event will be taking place from March 4th - March 6th. With any luck the event will have the same atmosphere as we saw this year and should be an amazing experience for those attending and watching from home.

The Intel Extreme Masters Championships will host the best teams and players from all over the world, fighting for a winner takes all grand prize pool of $250,000.

Micha? Blicharz, Vice President of Pro Gaming at ESL, had the following to say about the event:

It's been an incredible ten seasons of the Intel Extreme Masters, and the grand finals to each season - the World Championship - has truly established itself as one of the main events in the calendar of any esports fan. This year's event in Katowice was one of the largest the esports industry has ever seen. With the return of Counter-Strike to the main stage, expanded EXPO part and increased prize money, IEM World Championship in 2016 will be even better.”

In addition to the gaming tourney taking place at IEM, the tourney will also be hosting a large expo which will be showcasing multiple games as well as developers showing off state of the art creations. The event will be expanded to a total size of 8000 square meters, making it the largest Esports event of all time.

If you are interested in purchasing tickets to the event, IEM will be offering early purchase to those who are interested, so make sure to check their Facebook and Twitter for updates should the urge to attend the event find you.
