Every gamer, casual and professional alike, will admit that victory or defeat is decided by a second, and sometimes even less. The best opportunity to demonstrate the power of the new LG UltraGear™ OLED gaming monitor (model 27GS95QE) was at the annual gaming celebration – IEM Expo, held in conjunction with Intel® Extreme Masters Katowice 2024 in Poland.

LG UltraGear gaming monitors have long been recognized for their gaming features. LG collaborates with Gen.G Esports, one of the biggest esports organizations in the world, and LG UltraGear gaming monitor is also an official display of the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) 2023.

Held annually since 2013, Intel Extreme Masters in Katowice is an opportunity for Counter-Strike and Starcraft® II fans to meet. This year, the prize pool for the top teams of the final was USD 1,500,000 for both tournaments. Team Spirit’s dominant victory was driven by one of the best professional tier 1 Counter-Strike debuts of all time following an incredible performance from Team Spirit’s 17-year-old prodigy Danil “donk” Kryshkovets.

The fastest-selling IEM Katowice tournament in history, the event saw a peak viewership of over 972,000 for Counter-Strike 2 and more than 77,000 for StarCraft II, according to escharts.com. The sold-out Spodek Arena and MCK Auditorium welcomed over 65,000 fans across four days of live StarCraft II competition, and three days of Counter-Strike action, complemented by IEM Expo.
