Season Two got off to a booming start this winter, with record-breaking events and high-end team play! Six pre-season events kicked things off, followed by the Season Two opener at the Intel Extreme Masters Kiev Global Challenge Event that saw Moscow Five take home the trophy.
The next event, the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship, featured twelve of the best teams from Europe, North America and China, and again, Moscow Five walked off with top prize from a $100,000 pool. IPL 4 quickly followed, featuring seven teams from North America and Europes Against All Authority in another all-out battle for dominance. Team SoloMid took the trophy amidst cheering crowds on the Vegas Strip.
With the blistering pace set by those events and a total prize pool of $340,000 so far we have no intention of slowing down! Four more events appear on the Season Two Challenger Circuit schedule, lasting throughout the summer and bringing out the best teams in Europe and North America to battle for supremacy. Check out the details below!
