Intel in Esports: Powering the Leaders in Pro Gaming

Powering the World of Professional Gaming

From extreme rigs and global esports events to powerful servers that connect millions of gamers, the pro gaming world runs on Intel® technology.1

The Growth of Esports

Esports is expected to reach about 500 million fans worldwide by 2020, thanks in part to the success of Intel® Extreme Masters (IEM), the longest running global esports tournament series. That success has driven an expanded partnership between Intel and ESL, enabling all of ESL's amateur and pro esports, plus its studio and broadcasting operations, to be powered by Intel® technology. That means tournament PCs will feature the latest Intel® Core™ i7 processors, so you can watch the pros perform at their best.

Intel® Extreme Masters (IEM)

Intel and ESL, the world’s largest esports company, have kicked-off an epic Season 13 of Intel® Extreme Masters.

Next Stop: IEM Katowice

Katowice 2019 takes place on February 27- March 3. As the 2019 Winter Major, it will push its own standard to a brand new level. 24 of the world’s best teams will come to Katowice to complete for $1,000,000!
