Every single Counter-Strike event looked exactly the same. We wanted to make ours stand out.
Every global CS:GO event has similar setups, the same talents, the same teams and the same players. Even for the most enfranchised fan, it's really hard to distinguish them apart.
So, to make both IEM Katowice and IEM Rio feel unique and special, we developed customized concepts based on local and historical insights, highlighting the history of Katowice and the passion of Brazilian fans for Rio.
