As the official partner and monitor provider of the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) Season 11, the longest running eSports circuit in the world, Acer hosted the Predator Prime Talk live TV stream at the grand finale of the season. Featuring top-tier teams and the world’s most popular eSports titles – IEM Katowice will no doubt continue the tradition of hosting epic matches that have defined the tournament and the emerging sport for the past decade.
Taking place in the phenomenal Spodek Arena at Katowice, Poland, the gaming event spanned two consecutive weekends; 25-26 February and then 3-5 March. All players were gaming on Acer Predator XB241H monitors, as Acer’s Predator brand is known for its cutting edge performance, in line with the brand values of the tournament.
“Shanghai – Oakland – Korea – Katowice. Acer Predator XB241H monitors have travelled more than 27,550 km during Intel Extreme Masters Season 11 and more than 100,000 hours have been played on them with 100% player satisfaction,” said Victor Chien, President of Digital Display Business, Acer Inc. “This is a testament to our relentless pursuit of design and technological excellence, and our commitment to delivering best-in-class experiences to gamers without compromise.”
Located at Stand A6, Acer’s booth was a visual and experiential highlight. Fronted by gaming giants Beth “LittleFreeman” and Mar1na Krylova, Acer hosted a live TV stream #predatorprimetalk to Acer Facebook channels with interviews, match analysis with leading eSports teams, players, managers as well as open discussions with officials from ESL, Intel, Nvidia, Acer and game publishers.
A fully immersed gaming hands on experience was also taking place on the stand, consisting of the 30-inch Acer Predator Z301CT, winner of the CES 2017 “Best of Innovations” award in the computer peripherals category alongside the Predator 21 X gaming laptop, the world’s first curved screen notebook.
