From March 2-5, ESL will host at Spodek Arena, in Katowice, the final event of the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) season, called the World Championship, featuring 12 teams from all over the world and a minimum prize pool of $250,000.
The tournament will kick off with a round-robin group stage, with the group winners advancing to the semi-finals. The second and third-placed teams from both groups will progress to the quarter-final stage, which will determine the final two sides making it to the last-four round.
