Tired, sleepy and subsequent miles in my legs already back home after three days of presence at the Olympic Intel Extreme Masters 2015. Emotions have slowly fall, so it’s a good time to take stock of the next edition of the event.
Katowice once again become a mecca for all fans of e-sports. Eyes electronic lovers of the game, not only Polish, but also from all over the world, to make a weekend south Polish and Silesia. In Spodek facility located next to the hall of the International Convention Center for a few days scrolled tens of thousands of people and millions of people followed the event on the internet.
Spider’s Web at IEM 2015
The Intel 2015 Extreme Masters on Friday came to Simon, and three other members of the editorial board reached Katowice on Saturday. In place for the entire duration of the event ran for You live blog throughout the day we published photos and brief descriptions of everything that caught our attention.
If you have followed us up to date on the weekend, I encourage you to read our live blog in the form of an archive. In addition to it, we have prepared a number of texts summarizing the event, and our operators helped us in making the video.
With all our entries you can read after the entry tag IEM 2015.
We were able to to interrogate cospleyerów about why play dress-up.
There also were able to hit the point when talking with their voters Janusz Korwin-Mikke.
As I write these words are mounted video and they appear in the Spider’s Web soon. The first film we have provided a summary fair on Saturday.
In Katowice, for the second time organized finale Intel Extreme Masters competition organized by the Electronic Sports League. It was in Poland the best players in the world fought with each other on virtual arenas for the title, and the crowds in the stands cheered them fiercely.
The saucer was full, and what a nice surprise me, but this time people do not sit on the stairs and gave up despite the crowd moving as normally as possible. Certainly helped to organize the tournament in two places at the same time and organize electronics show outside Spodek.
League of Legends
The most important game we are passionate fans of the Intel Extreme Masters is undoubtedly the League of Legends, called LoL I briefly. This is a game with MOBA genre, and viewers from around the world viewed the struggle competitors are divided into two groups.
The team reached the final match of the US named SoloMid and EC team from China. Players fought bravely to the end, and the winner of the League of Legends for the Intel Extreme Masters in 2015 turned out to be team players SoloMid.
StarCraft 2
The second of the game, which is measured in Spodek StarCraft 2 players is This discipline is practically dominated by players from Korea. Championships were a little slipping and therefore went home until after midnight, and not, as originally planned around 22 nd.
In the reins stood 16 players here. In the final, the Koreans attended signing up nicks Zest and Trap. The fight was even, but finally triumphed Zest. He picked up the same top prize in this category.
Hearthstone
The Intel Extreme Masters in 2015, of course, could not miss the Virtual karcianki from Blizzard, which quickly gained immense popularity. Participated in the competition of the 16 players from around the world.
Hearthstone not attracted such crowds as CS or LoL, but I enjoyed much popularity. Hearthstone Finals still in progress.
Counter-Strike GO
From our perspective, the most important was the game Counter-Strike, as it took part in them Poles. Virtus.pro team last year won the title and we hope that we now will be led by the charismatic compatriots Pasha biceps defeat opponents from around the world.
Unfortunately, on Saturday, our team was eliminated from the tournament when the semi-finals of the Intel Extreme Masters won with them 2 0 this year’s winners of the tournament, which is called the Fnatic team. Swedes received Virtus.pro title and won the grand prize winning 2: 1 with coming from the same country team Ninjas in Pyjamas.
Female Counter-Strike tournament Intel Challenge.
E- sport is dominated by men, but the girls also play games and pretty good them out. IEM 2015 Organizers decided this year to organize a tournament designed for women to fight with a player-guy stereotype.
The myth that sex beauty shuns computer entertainment is deceptive, however, in spite of everything still works. Although I do not quite understand why, in the case of computer games teams would not be the co-educational, but it has been organized.
In this competition was also a Polish accent.
On Sunday early afternoon in front of him faced two teams, namely Polish Alsen Team and German CM Storm. Polish mother and a German woman is played, which team will enter the finals of the competition. I had the opportunity to be in the audience and cheer compatriots, as indeed many other people.
Unfortunately, Alsen Team was defeated 2: 0 and the final team entered the CM Storm. She competed in the finals of Bad Monkey Gaming.
The winners of the Intel Challenge tournament proved to Bad Monkey Gaming.
Trade electronics was even more impressive than a year ago.
Intel Extreme Masters 2015 in Katowice is not just watching games on giant outdoor screens. For Saucer and located next to the International Convention Centre arrived the major manufacturers of equipment and accessories for the players and the Polish electronic stores. Some of them are sold in promotional equipment and extremely attractive prices.
As correctly noted Przemek spider, stands are organized on a global level and quality do not differ from those in the IFA, CES or MWC. Representatives of companies have done a good job, because although the surface part of the exhibition was not as big as in the case of the trade fair in Berlin, Las Vegas and Barcelona, and so it was impossible to get bored.
What you could see?
On the site you can not only see the latest equipment system based on Intel processors, but also to test in practice, such trivia as Tomb Raider running on a widescreen monitor with a 12K image generated by the four graphics cards simultaneously. Konsolowi players to be able to look at it with envy.
There were also tablets, ultrabooks and machines with a variety of configurations and prices. Every now and then organized competitions and handed out goodies, and strolled across the hall computer entertainment enthusiasts and the mass of cosplayers. I had the opportunity to wear a helmet on his head and see Oculus virtual piano (piano and there …).
Big impressed me a grouping of mostly young kids, who stood by the railings near the center of the press. It is at this point appeared there, players, fans, and fans are almost ripped to shreds demanding attention. There were squeals were screams were autographs on T-shirts.
The same as a year ago, I spent a weekend intensive, but I am very happy with the tour. I hope that the Intel Extreme Masters finals in 2015 will not be the last organized in Katowice, and I will visit the saucer for the year. This year’s edition is barely over, and I already can not wait for the next!
