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.
