6 Comments on Intel to Bring the Best in Gaming to the World Stage at Intel Extreme Masters
The championships are actually surprisingly small for events such as these. Small-ish stage, only a few hundred spectators usually. The main events are the conferences and demo booths.
The main events are games on IEM Katowice, conferences and demo booths are always in smaller expo building.
last year was like this (only SPODEK on this material)
Even though the event is free i advise to buy tickets. Free line on saturday looked like this. People start to gather on 7am and security is starting to let in to the building on 1pm. With tickets you go in 10am with side doors (not my movie and not me on it).
Also, Jaedong was there unleashing his unique chaotic destruction style on everyone who stood in his path!!!!! Do you need more?
surely not intel crapstics?
