The Intel® Extreme Masters in Katowice, one of the most prestigious events in the esports industry, will take place on February 10-12, 2023 in the Spodek Arena in Katowice. Ticketmaster has partnered with ESL FACEIT Group to deliver the ticketing technology in Ticketmaster’s first foray into the esports industry.

The ESL FACEIT Group has been leading the esports and gaming scene for over two decades. In that time its brands have driven esports and gaming forward, helping make esports the fastest-growing entertainment choice on the planet.

They are responsible for prestigious competitions including IEM Cologne and IEM Rio Major. The main goal of their ESL brand is to create a world where everybody can be somebody.
