How e-sport changed Katowice
Today, Intel Extreme Masters (IEM), the world championship in computer games combined with the IT trade fair, is the largest business event in Poland. Last year, during two weekends, it attracted almost 170,000 visitors to Katowice! Katowice has grown into a global capital of e-sport, and although last year’s IEM was also organised in Chicago, Sydney and Shanghai, it is here, in Katowice, that the most important finals are held.
