Today ESL announced the ninth season of the Intel Extreme Masters, with the tournament once again featuring Starcraft 2 and League of Legends.




The season kickoff will be in Shenzhen, China on July 16-21.

“With its tradition in eSports and continuously growing fanbase, China is a sleeping giant in professional gaming. Last season the Intel Extreme Masters recorded its highest Chinese viewership yet, and we want to continue to involve Chinese gamers in global competitions. This is why we come to China every year.”
- Michal “Carmac” Blicharz

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

They definitely want to avoid having IEM in ChinaJoy again, good call I guess.

Cool to see. It's great to see IEM go to places that are traditionally overlooked by other tournaments
