ESL IEM on Eurosport *update*

As you may remember, the Intel Extreme Masters show, the outcome of the cooperation between Eurosport, Intel and Turtle Entertainment (ESL), had its premiere some weeks ago on Eurosport and Eurosport 2. Today ESL published some more information about the first and next episodes featuring the global league of the video game champions.

More than one million different viewers in total have seen the first episode. That is why Nik Adams, the Executive Producer at Turtle Entertainment responsible for the ‘Intel Extreme Masters’ show, is quite happy about the results: "As we are the first to bring eSports to a broad pan European, Asian and Pacific TV audience I am very satisfied how the first broadcast worked out. The total number of viewers, the feedback from the media as well as from our eSports community was as good as expected. This show gives the TV audience an overview of our lifestyle and helps to elevate eSports to a higher level."

Update with more information on episode 2:
The second episode features the Global Challenge Cologne event and shows the Quake Live players Shane 'rapha' Hendrixson and Anton 'Cooller' Singov trying to come out on top, which didn't work out for both of them as you may know. The show will again deliver 25 minutes of exciting eSports, but also take a behind-the-scenes look at the players routines and challenges.
