We are excited to announce that we are adding Singapore and Sao Paulo to the Intel Extreme Masters 8 calendar next to Shanghai and New York City. This marks the return of the Intel Extreme Masters to both cities in South East Asia and South America, respectively, where we have enjoyed a very warm reception from local gamers.
Intel Extreme Masters Singapore takes place on November 28th to December 1st, a full year after our first visit to the country. In StarCraft II, despite the crowd’s almost unilateral support for Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen, Ju "Sting" Hoon made his breakthrough performance; eventually defeating his Dutch opponent to take the title. Singapore was also the breakthrough tournament for Polish League of Legends team Meet Your Makers, who, after taking first would go on to play at every single stop in the seventh season. Local talent and unlikely champions arose from Singapore last season, who knows what will happen this season?
We will reach our third continent this season when we arrive in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It will be the host city of the Intel Extreme Masters for the third time around in February 2014. Here, South American talent will clash with veterans from all over the world once more. With a burgeoning eSports scene, Brazil has always shown us a warm welcome with a truly exuberant crowd. Teams and players from Brazil have had significant successes in the Intel Extreme Masters in the past and we’re looking forward to them putting on a show.
It is always an exhilarating prospect to bring the Intel Extreme Masters to cities and countries where international eSports tournaments are few and far between. Thus we feel that Singapore and Sao Paulo will be fitting stops for Season Eight. - See more at: http://us.intelextrememasters.com/season8/#sthash.tLuoD7VK.dpuf
