We’re delighted to announce that we’ll soon be returning to Katowice, Poland for the 2016 Intel Extreme Masters! From March 4 to 6, gamers will flock to the futuristic Spodek arena and International Convention Center for the country’s biggest esports event of the year, and there’s plenty in store for Blizzard fans.

Last year’s IEM Katowice was a huge success, with 104,000 on-site visitors, and millions more watching the action via ESL’s live streams. This year’s event promises to be just as epic, with plenty of esports action and lots of awesome StarCraft II, Heroes of the Storm, and Hearthstone activities lined up.

Giveaways and Activities

We’ve got tons of loot, and we can’t wait to give it away! We’ll be holding several contests throughout the duration of IEM, both on location and online. Whether you’re attending the event in person, or following along from the comfort of your own home, we’ve got something in store for you. Swing by booth C9 to find out more about our on-site activities, and keep an eye on our social channels to see what’s happening online.

Community Corner

If you’re attending IEM Katowice, be sure to pay us a visit at the Blizzard Community Corner! Head over to booth C9, and you can have a chat with a Blizzard Community Manager, meet one of your favorite internet personalities, or hang out with some esports pros.
