The Intel Extreme Masters returns to America for the next stop of the circuit, and it is landing in San Jose, California! In this extended qualifier only Three players and one American Champion will be sent to San Jose, California to represent the Americas region. The tournament format is a bit different this time around, but the same idea. It will be two stages for the United States Championship, and 2 Stages for America’s qualifier. But this time Stage 1 for America’s qualifier is 4 individual cups instead of 1. Below is the full information!
