It's time to return to LAN for the final time in 2021! Once again, our destination is Stockholm, Sweden.
IEM Winter is a stacked event hosting some of the highest level teams aside from the Major winning NAVI. With a prize pool of $250,000, top talent, and the LAN environment, no one will be left cold at IEM Winter.
Unfortunately, our In-Game Leader, Snappi, could not join us due to testing positive for COVID-19 prior to travel. Maden from FPX will be stepping in as a replacement for the remainder of the event, or until Snappi is able to rejoin the team.
