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.
