In 2007 at CeBIT, one of the world’s largest technology expos at the time, the first form of Intel® Extreme Masters took place. IEM was a step up compared to the Intel Friday Night Games that had come before it - a higher prize pool, a big expo crowd, and the promise of a truly global competition.
Players competed on chunky CRT monitors, playing Counter-Strike 1.6 amongst other titles. A number of now endemic esports teams made their mark with wins at IEM CeBIT - mousesports in 2008, fnatic in 2009, and NaVi’s back-to-back wins in 2010 & 2011.
By IEM CeBIT’s last iteration in 2013, it was clear that the tournament had outgrown its surroundings, and something needed to change.

The Circle is a new 4-day experience we’re offering for the first time at IEM Kraków 2027. Featuring a limited floor seating area surrounding the player entrance, it’s for those who want to watch their heroes walk past, cheer loudly amongst die-hard fans, and experience IEM Kraków from the centre of the action. Due to limited quantity, those interested in The Circle experience are encouraged to buy in the exclusive pre-sale, as only remaining tickets will be released for Wave 1. The Circle is intended for a small group of die-hard Counter-Strike fans. To combat scalping, additional anti-scalping measures have been put in place, including transfer and resale options being disabled for this ticket type.
