INTEL EXTREME MASTERS IS SUPPORTED BY THE SMARTEST SPONSORS I want you and your company to know that I really do appreciate companies supporting Esports, and I make an effort to help support their businesses in return!”

I just bought an i7 2600k (admittedly my first Intel CPU since the the Athlon Classic) as well as SCII and I could not be happier with the jump. I'm just getting into the SCII scene and love the support you all are giving to it!” I just wanted to say that I just ordered my new PC

last night. I was looking at an AMD processor, but, due to your sponsorship of this tournament, I went with Intel instead. Thank you for your sponsorship and for putting together a quality tournament!”

IEM was awesome as usual. More please! Just upgraded wife and I’s desktops to Core i7 950s. I support those who support SC2 and ESPORTS - sponsorship works!”

Events

The 2012/13 season will consist of six live events in Europe, Asia and America. Presence is guaranteed in China, Germany and

USA. Possible additional event locations are Poland, Ukraine, Canada, Singapore, Brazil and India.

Likely trade shows are:

» Gamescom – Cologne, Germany (August 2012)

» ChinaJoy - Shanghai, China (July 2012)

» Ani-Com & Games – Guangzhou, China (October 2012)

» Poznan Game Arena, Poznan, Poland (September 2012)

» CeBIT – Hannover, Germany (March 2013)

Growth

The likely replacement of the old and outdated Counter-Strike 1.6 with the upcoming Counter-Strike: Global Offensive should

increase all key statistics even further compared to the previous season.

NEXT SEASON – PRELIMINARY PLANS
