IEM has been, without a doubt, one of the biggest most successful global leagues for eSports, in all eSports history. With already 7 successful seasons behind them, they are continuing the tournament series with a Season 8! The tournament tour will first start in Shanghai (China) this July, then afterwards coming to New York City, October this year, shortly afterwards coming to Singapore the following month, then touring to Sao Paulo in February, and then not too long afterwards the conclusion, the World Championship, will be held in Katowice Poland between March 14th-16th 2014. Professional Gamer’s worldwide will be competing for a prize pool of 250k in both League of Legends, and StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm. 

This event will mark the first time in history where the IEM World Championships will not be held at the CeBIT trade show in Hannover Germany. This years World Championship will be held inside of Spodek, Poland’s famous sports/events venue, in which plays host to world famous musicians and the volleyball World League. Brand new Partnerships & Casters, have also been announced in which you can read up more about by visiting the official IEM website located at http://us.intelextrememasters.com/season8/ The website also contains very important online qualifier details and information for any of those interested in participating in the SC2 Quals. I’d like to personally thank Intel for bringing back one of the most amazing, tournament series back for another Season.
